8. Friends

Qin Muse said she and Qian Baitao didn't get along, but they still went to a dessert shop together.

It was called Lady M, in the busiest part of Luofeng City. The shop was lavishly decorated. The two found a table in a corner, and after they ordered cake and drinks, a server quickly brought them their food.

Qin Muse ordered a slice of mango tart cake and a cup of Fusi sparkling water.

She picked up her knife and fork and slowly cut into the cake, eating it in small bites. The tension and solemnity that usually filled her face had disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

"Mango really is the best flavor! This is such a stress reliever!"

Qin Muse loved mango-flavored food the most, and she liked cake too. But back when she was in Demon City, she'd had a dedicated training plan and a strictly controlled diet. She could say she'd been completely cut off from food like this.

Now she was using Qian Baitao as an excuse to indulge her craving for desserts.

"Mhm, the cakes here are all so good!"

"Little Muse, I've never had cake this delicious before. Thank you so much!"

Qian Baitao wasn't nearly as leisurely as Qin Muse. There were five kinds of cake in front of her, and more than one slice of each. Every so often she took a sip of the hot chocolate beside her. She looked so happy it practically radiated from her.

Watching Qian Baitao gulp down her hot chocolate, Qin Muse couldn't help rubbing her brow...

Oh, boy...

It was all high-calorie stuff. Wouldn't she turn into Little Fatty if she ate like that?

By contrast, Qin Muse ate even a small slice of cake carefully, taking tiny bites so it wouldn't be gone
