Chapter 203 - Chapter 203

After waiting in line for half an hour, they finally entered the popular cake shop.

The super delicious cake that Xiaolan mentioned was called Honey Cake.

Lin Yi took a look, wasn't this just the old-fashioned cake from Taiwan?

However, this honey cake was considered an evolved version of the old-fashioned cake.

It wasn't like the old-fashioned cake, which was just a piece of cake.

Instead, the cake was divided into two halves, and a layer of fresh cream was filled in the middle as a filling.

This honey sponge cake is much softer than the traditional kind.

Lin Yi shook the plate, and the honey cake wobbled along, almost like jelly.

Lin Yi took a spoonful.

"Mmm... this cake is really soft."

Lin Yi was amazed; it was much better than those in high-end restaurants.

Expensive things aren't necessarily delicious because the price of desserts in fancy restaurants isn't determined by their deliciousness.

It's also influenced by the restaurant's decor, the waiters' service, and the elegance of the environment.

Eating in high-end restaurants isn't about the food; it's about the mood and romance.

Most importantly, high-end restaurants provide a quiet space to chat and open your hearts to each other.

If you dine in places that aren't high-end enough, there might be noise and commotion, or people constantly walking past you.

This can greatly hinder communication.

Now that Lan and Kana are here to enjoy the food, they naturally don't care about the noise.

Xiaolan also took a spoonful for herself, and after savoring it, a look of extreme satisfaction appeared on her face: "This cake is so soft... it's like eating air."

Kana also took a bite, and she said with a curious expression: "The cake seems to melt automatically in your mouth... How is this cake made? It's so delicious."

Listen, listen, these are the food reviews of professional foodies; you can tell they've eaten a lot of delicious food.

"It's so delicious... I want another bite."

Xiaolan excitedly dug another spoonful and put it in her mouth, looking very happy.

"Me too."

Kana also took another bite.

After saying they would take one more bite, they both put down their spoons at the same time.

This made Lin Yi admire them; facing such a delicious cake, they could still resist eating it all.

See, even beautiful girls have to strictly control their food intake.

You can tell how strong a person's self-control is from their figure.

While eating, they naturally started chatting about some gossip.

Especially about the variety show that Lin Yi was on some time ago.

"Hey, Yi, I watched that detective show you were on! You were super handsome."

Xiaolan didn't hold back her compliments, and this wasn't an exaggeration; it was a sincere compliment.

"I actually didn't want to be on camera... it would bring a lot of trouble to my life. But Uncle Mori wanted to test me... and I couldn't refuse."

Lin Yi said helplessly.

If Kogoro Mori could handle those reasoning quiz questions on his own, Lin Yi wouldn't have needed to steal the spotlight.

But he looked so dim-witted that Lin Yi had to stand up and maintain Kogoro Mori's image as a great detective.

It's still the same saying: a rising tide lifts all boats.

The higher Kogoro Mori's social status, the more people he can come into contact with.

See, now he can even contact the chairmen of companies, drinking and exchanging business cards with them.

Kogoro Mori wouldn't have dared to dream of this before.

As Kogoro Mori gradually gains access to the elite of this society, Lin Yi will naturally be able to meet more high-quality beauties.

"I've seen a lot of comments... they all say that your assistant is particularly handsome and smart, and they all want your Instagram."

Kana said happily.

The more outstanding Lin Yi is, the more correct her choice is!

The more outstanding her boyfriend is, the more proud she naturally feels, sharing the honor and disgrace!

Of course, this is still the principle of a rising tide lifts all boats.

"No thanks, I'm not interested in showing off my personal life."

Lin Yi shook his head; he didn't have the hobby of sharing his private life with others.

He didn't want to become a public figure because once you become a public figure, you naturally have a public image, and you have to maintain it.

If you don't maintain it, like if Lin Yi's simultaneous relationships with several girlfriends were exposed, it would definitely cause public outrage.

There would be all kinds of scolding everywhere, and some people might even do irrational things out of jealousy, and might even want to splash sulfuric acid on his face.

Too scary.

So, becoming a public figure is out of the question.

It's better to be a low-key, amorous playboy.

After roughly discussing Lin Yi's appearance on the TV show, the two girls naturally switched the gossip to the murderer, Takashi Matsuo.

"I really didn't expect... Mr. Matsuo to be the murderer!"

"Yeah, he looked so honest... I didn't expect him to do something like this..."

"Miss Yoko even worked with him for so long; fortunately, nothing happened."

"It's really scary to have this kind of person around..."

"... ... ... ..."

Once the gossip topic was opened, the two of them immediately entered the state, their eyes shining, and their mouths babbling non-stop.

And Lin Yi, as the person involved, naturally knew a lot of inside information that the TV station didn't report, and naturally joined in the gossip.

All along, many people are enthusiastic about gossip, but they are always embarrassed at the same time.

They clearly like gossip, but they vaguely feel that they are very vulgar and uninteresting.

In fact, those so-called vulgarities and boredom are just impressions that people add to themselves.

Gossip is never vulgar.

To prove this statement, it's actually very simple, just figure out the essence of gossip.

What is the essence of gossip?

It is a kind of information exchange. Is information exchange vulgar?

On the contrary, information exchange is a very important thing. Through information exchange, we can broaden our horizons and absorb information that is beneficial to ourselves.

Information exchange is not about being vulgar, it is only divided into useful and useless.

Let's take a typical example.

For example, the Boqiang divorce that caused a sensation a few years ago.

This melon is big enough, right? Basically, the whole people are eating this melon.

When people gossip about this matter, they will think about the relationship between this matter and themselves. Will their wife have a wild man outside? Or, if this happened to me, how would I deal with it?

Of course, you can also roughly judge a person's character and thoughts through gossip.

Let's take the Boqiang divorce as an example.

Taking this matter to discuss with friends will inevitably lead to many different views.

Some are gloating, some are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, some feel sad, and some even start to scold, or say that this deserves it, that is slutty.

Through their evaluation, you can easily see what those people's character and thoughts are like, and whether they are worth making friends with.

So, gossip is not shameful, nor is it vulgar.

Even, gossip is the best thing to shorten the distance between you and a girl.

If the girl you like doesn't like you, then you should be her confidant, and when the opportunity is ripe... you can turn blue into green.
