Now that she had the boy's contact information...
The girl grinned.
The boy wouldn't be able to ditch her like he had on the bus before.
She'd haunt him relentlessly.
A somewhat "sinister" smile spread across the girl's face.
She wondered what she should write in the first message she sent him.
This was important.
It would determine whether they could smoothly become friends...
Xiao Xiao returned to his dorm.
The girl's first message arrived sooner than Xiao Xiao had expected.
It was two days after he had last met her.
He received a message from the girl.
Her friend's sister-in-law was very good at making pastries with flowers.
More importantly, they tasted amazing.
Unlike many traditional pastries, which looked pretty but tasted a little old-fashioned and weren't popular with young people.
The girl asked if Xiao Xiao would like to try some.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
What a clever girl.
Had she seen him buying a lot of desserts at the pastry shop last time and guessed that he liked sweets, which was why she'd invited him in a way that catered to his tastes?
Pastries made with flowers...
The Xiao family made those too.
For example, their Plum Blossom Crisp, which was very popular with customers.
But...
Xiao Xiao was curious about what pastries made with flowers by other people would be like.
Xiao Xiao accepted the girl's invitation.
The girl clenched her fist and silently cheered to herself.
She'd guessed right!
The boy really did like pastries.
Though it always felt a little incongruous to associate sweet pastries with a boy who was so cold toward her...
Why hadn't all those sweet pastries made this guy's heart a little softer?
The girl pouted.
She put her phone away.
