three

My name is Ai Maomao. Since we are assigned to the same dormitory, I can help you, but opposing the Night Star Support Association is quite risky. You need to prove your abilities

Uh, why does this feeling seem a bit familiar? It seems I have encountered someone with this enchanting aura that emanates from the very core of their being before.

The moon flirtatiously tossed its hair

I have already decided whom to designate

I took the opportunity to survey my surroundings: the room of the Western Point Society was furnished with European-style tables and chairs made of red oak, adorned with high-quality tableware that gleamed with a silver luster, beautiful abstract paintings graced the walls, and a large floor-to-ceiling glass partition separated the tidy cooking area.

The other two individuals displayed expressions of utter shock, while the boy I was pointing at looked over coldly, revealing for the first time an expression beyond indifference and anger on his face

The interior of this pastry shop is adorned a bit more lavishly, and the staff responsible for receiving guests are dressed somewhat oddly, but it is not much different from other high-end pastry shops

Chocolate, cocoa powder, coffee, cream

It seems that my roommate this time has a good character

I am not someone to be trifled with either

I haven't finished introducing my strengths yet, light beauty. Have you fallen for me so quickly?

It is said that there are also ghostly handsome young men

A terrifying smile that is cold to the extreme

It must be a gimmick used by Xinggong Academy to attract a larger pool of students

I think that if this person made the dessert, it would be as comforting and delightful as the person themselves

Hmph! That guy responded to me with a cold snort and an impatient urging, "Quickly, let's settle this."

The sweet and rich fragrance wafted into my nostrils with the night breeze

Oh, what are you skilled at then

Hehe, let's explore the most mysterious legend of the Star Palace—the Midnight Earl's Rose Pastry Society

I looked over at the person speaking with displeasure, only to see the boy in the dark golden mask, who had remained silent like an iceberg, tilt his head towards me and say bluntly, "Ordering so much, can you finish it? The pastries of Count Rose are not something just anyone can taste! You can only order what you can finish here!"

The young man in the middle is wearing a powder purple suit, a color that few can wear attractively, yet it suits him remarkably well. He is adorned with a black lace rose mask, intricately designed around the eyes, and a diamond in the shape of a rhombus is embedded at the center of the forehead of the mask, sparkling brilliantly under the opulent crystal chandelier. As I scrutinize him, he raises his hand and gestures a flying kiss towards me, exuding an enchanting aura

Is that true? That's wonderful! Your Western Pastry Society is simply amazing! At first, I was wondering if there would be any strange services here... I laughed happily, and when it comes to food, I set aside all the exploration and tasks, saying, "I want to eat vanilla lemon tarts, matcha tiramisu, almond apple pie, chiffon cake..."

I heard that you came to Xinggong from a school in a third-tier town, which is truly not easy

Approximately 15 minutes later, I arrived at a strange place

The boy wearing the black rose mask immediately approached and wrapped his arm around the one called Liu.

The low shrubs by the roadside were adorned with twinkling light strips, resembling a galaxy formed by stars. As I followed the path of lights, I unknowingly arrived deep within the Star Palace Academy

Wow, this is simply a dream come true for girls

When I cautiously hid for most of the day and stealthily slipped back to the dormitory, it was already evening

I changed into the regular uniform of Xinggong Academy, draped a warm gray cloak over my shoulders, and strolled leisurely through the campus

The tactic of provocation is ineffective against me. You should honestly order a dessert, obediently finish it, and leave quickly.

For the invincible big eater Lin Wei Ya, it's a piece of cake

My name is Lin Wei Ya, and I am a new student at Xing Gong. You do not need to apologize to me; the one who should apologize is someone else

You are quite courageous! The members of the Night Star Support Club are numerous and difficult to deal with, especially the president, Xia Lei; she can be quite terrifying when she gets serious

I silently responded in my heart

The gaze projected from behind the mask was as cold as a knife

Isn't it just a daring mission to explore the West Point Society

That bad-tempered guy is Liu; he excels in a variety of desserts, but his foul temper and cold demeanor mean that few people request him by name. This handsome man in white is Yin, who specializes in lightly sweetened desserts. Although those desserts are quite healthy for women, their flavors are too subtle! Finally, I would like to introduce to you the one right in front of you! As the most popular pastry chef of the Earl Rose, I, the perfect Tsuki-senpai

When the boy with the black rose mask began to speak at length, I looked up at the gentle pastry chef, "Yin".

I marveled as I walked around the white fence wall covered in vines, passed through the rose garden that emitted a faint glow, and continued along the cobblestone path.

As I stepped through the door in a daze, astonished by the exquisite and beautiful furnishings inside, three voices coincidentally rang out.

Indeed, those campus legends are all lies! ... What about losing one's memory as soon as one enters, or the curse of the countess ...

Just as I was happily counting my favorite desserts, a disheartening male voice interrupted.

Are you a pig

I looked at this self-praising fellow with a skeptical gaze

What?

Ding dong

After I took my seat following the polite sound of Binbin, I deliberately glanced at the guy standing with his arms crossed, resembling a cold, unyielding pillar.

Welcome to Earl Rose Pastry Society

"Dear lady, you may have any dessert you desire!" The first to respond to me was the boy wearing a black rose mask, whose enchanting aura could not be concealed. His voice was very magnetic

It was a glass villa resembling a crystal castle where a princess from a fairy tale might reside. The walls and doors were made of glass, and the glass roof allowed brilliant lights to project outward. Beautiful flowers, climbing vines, and evergreen broadleaf trees naturally served as the villa's cover, and most remarkably, in the rose garden of the glass cottage's front yard, each rose emitted a glow, as if fireflies were sleeping within the petals of the roses.

Liu, you shouldn't be so fierce; what if you scare this lovely lady away

Xinggong Academy is not a fully enclosed institution; approximately one quarter of the students are boarding students from various regions across the country, like myself; there are also local day students, as well as students from other areas who have applied for off-campus apartments.

Although floral desserts sound appealing, I cannot accept this narcissistic pastry chef

As I surveyed my surroundings, I could not help but indulge in my fantasies

It is said that finding that pastry shop will lead to a magical encounter. If you meet a ghostly handsome young man, remember to take a picture and show it to me! Hello, I am Nana from the Ghost Association, wishing you good luck

Haha, is that you! The new student Lin Wei Ya who is making a big splash today?

The young man in the black rose mask approached me with a lightness as if he were walking on tiptoes

"Name me? As long as you can bear it"

As I approached the entrance, the tightly closed glass doors automatically swung open to the sides, accompanied by a crisp ringing sound

I feel that this person's character is likely the most eccentric

The smile on his face is exceptionally gentle

... ...

The boy wearing the black rose mask, who calls himself "Moon," deliberately elongated his final syllable

Clever as I am, I have seen through everything, haha

Upon entering, the three roommates in the same room saw me and all lowered their heads to check their mobile phones and tablets

I want him! I stood up from my seat and pointed at that silent and cold guy in the corner, "Prepare the dessert I want, all the ones I just ordered!"

The one closest to me is a suave young man dressed in a white tuxedo. He stands tall, wearing a silver-white mask, with delicate small pearls embedded in a circle around the edge of the mask. On the right side of the mask, there is a decoration made of white crystals and feathers. Although he should exude an air of aloofness, from the slight smile on this young man's lips, I sense that he is likely the most gentle among the three.

It smells so good! It is the aroma of delicious desserts! I murmured to myself, and then I utilized my keen sense of smell to follow that fragrance.

Oh? This scene looks quite familiar as well

Without much thought, I shifted my gaze to the boy wearing a silver-white mask and asked, "Is this the Earl's Rose Pastry Society? May I ask what desserts you offer?"

After wandering aimlessly around the Star Palace Academy for quite some time, I suddenly caught a whiff of an enticing aroma drifting from a distance

Liu, you must be friendly to the customers! I apologize, dear student, Liu has a bit of a temper. I am the pastry chef, Earl Rose, please allow me to show you to your seat. May I ask for your name...

The Earl's Rose Pastry Shop will surely present you with the most delightful pastries that meet your expectations The young man wearing a phantom mask slightly nodded in my direction

Of course, it possesses a perfect appearance and a rich, fragrant taste, making it an unprecedented, unparalleled, and stunningly beautiful floral dessert in the world of pastries! Those who have tasted the desserts I have meticulously crafted will find this delicacy unforgettable for a lifetime

Hello, light beauty, please do not joke around, that guy is quite frightening

The tone of the man in the dark gold mask is truly令人非常不满

After hiding outside all day, I returned to the dormitory only to be pushed out again by my roommates to participate in some sort of courage test

Let me serve the light beauty, Wei Ya! In our pastry society, we have our own rules; each guest can only designate one pastry chef for service at a time

You greedy fellow

So, where exactly is the legendary Earl Rose Pastry Shop located

Seeing him in difficulty, I could only tell myself not to argue with that guy and to let things be

Classmate Wei Ya, which pastry chef would you like to designate to serve you

The night, resembling the feathers of a raven, envelops the Star Palace Academy. Lanterns, shining like silver moonlight, reflect off one another, making the academy appear as a grand lantern filled with stars, beautiful and mysterious

Hello, who are you? On what grounds do you insult me so rudely? Also, how do you know that I cannot finish the food I ordered? Hmph, is it because you are unable to make the dessert I ordered, so you want to brush me off?

Ha ha, will he jump out holding a plate of cake to scare me

However

You should showcase your best skills! My taste is quite discerning

I blinked in confusion and shifted my gaze to the boy at the very back.

First, let me introduce myself, I am the dormitory leader Hu Xiaoli, and they are Nana and Ai Maomao... If you wish to gain our recognition and assistance, you must undergo a courage assessment

Three handsome young men, each dressed in different styles of formal attire, bowed in unison. After raising their heads, I was left with the impression of a dazzling flash of light.

The gentle and polite voice could only helplessly curl up the corners of its mouth and offered me an apologetic smile

I am sorry, you have been removed from my list

However, they are willing to accept me as long as I prove my abilities and sincerity, and they are not afraid to stand against the powerful Night Star Support Association

I counted my favorite desserts while raising my fingers

Therefore, the Star Palace Academy is much quieter at night compared to during the day

No! I have made up my mind. If I do not get to enjoy the dessert I want at your pastry club today, and if I am not satisfied, I will absolutely not leave

The man is very tall, dressed in a black suit, as if he is about to merge into the darkness. He wears a dark golden mask, one side adorned with hollow decorations resembling phoenix wings, while the other side features a white teardrop-shaped gemstone. Although his mask is the most exquisite, the aura surrounding him is somber and indifferent, and the contours of his face, not concealed by the mask, resemble a masterpiece sculpted by a master artist, with his lips pressed tightly into a straight line
