Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 326 - 321: Extremely High Consistency (1)

Until Yan Yan finally sat down at the spot Qi Yi had reserved, she still hadn’t recovered from her astonishment.

Is it really okay to sit here?

Yan Yan glanced at the sunken plaza outside the window.

The plaza was packed with people, a stark contrast to her last visit.

The already small plaza was utterly choked today.

People were shoulder to shoulder, almost more crowded than at the Bund on New Year’s Eve.

This was the first time Yan Yan and Qi Yi had arrived at Rockefeller Center late, and she had never seen the plaza as crowded as today.

So this is what the Rockefeller Center looks like in the evening?

But with this density, even breathing must feel somewhat stifling, right?

She really didn’t know why she had always thought of Rockefeller Center as a romantic place for a date.

Yan Yan was already in a bad mood, and after the scares she just had, she felt even less like eating.

As someone particular about food,

this time, Yan Yan didn’t even pay attention to the name of the restaurant, something like Summer Garden.

She had wandered in aimlessly.

As long as there weren’t any life-threatening issues, losing her appetite was the least of her concerns.

After all, eating is a human instinct; it wouldn’t be long before she would be hungry and inevitably want to eat something.

"The food here is okay, but the desserts are not very good.

Look at the menu, and don’t order a dessert later.

There’s your favorite Lady M in the corner over there.

It’s hard to see from outside now.

After we order, I’ll go and buy you your favorite Signature Mille Crepes," Qi Yi briefly explained his plans for the meal. (note 1)

Normally, Yan Yan would light up at the mention of Lady M.

But today wasn’t a normal day. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Even though Yan Yan had already sat down, she still felt extremely uneasy.

"Maybe we should go somewhere else," Yan Yan finally responded.

She just couldn’t shake the feeling that sitting here was odd.

A "Survivor" Yan Yan had this ominous premonition that the Evil Spirit could appear at any moment.

Seeing that Yan Yan really didn’t want to stay there, Qi Yi would definitely compromise.

Having no principles was Qi Yi’s only principle when it came to his girlfriend.

But before Qi Yi could speak,

Yan Yan looking out the window saw the face of the Evil Spirit.

That face was nearly pressing against the glass window beside Yan Yan’s seat.

Yan Yan, who had just had such a premonition, instantly turned pale.

"What’s the matter with you today, you don’t want them to find you, right?" Qi Yi asked Yan Yan.

Yan Yan looked at Qi Yi, was such a question even necessary?

Did Qi Yi think she particularly enjoyed fighting?

"If you don’t like it, just greet them. I see that these people are highly unified. They are organized and disciplined, which is quite unusual," Qi Yi said, smiling to comfort Yan Yan.

"Since you know they are organized and disciplined, how can you still manage to sit here and eat?" Yan Yan wondered how she had never noticed before that Qi Yi was so daring.

"If being famous because of a girlfriend means I can’t eat, then I should have been sleepless for at least ten days by now," Qi Yi said with self-deprecating laughter.

"What’s the point of being famous when people chase you to beat you up and don’t even care if you are a celebrity?" Yan Yan thought in panic.

But after all, they were in a restaurant, so she figured it was unlikely anyone would directly come and shoot her; Yan Yan tried to steady her emotions.

"Do you think they want to beat you? Is that why you’ve been nervous since just now?" Qi Yi looked at Yan Yan with a shocked expression.

"Do I even need to ask? Didn’t you see that guy, covered in tattoos, and looking like an evil spirit? We’re fine inside for now, but what are we going to do when we leave the restaurant?" Originally intending to leave, Yan Yan now had no intention of standing up.

"Uh... Didn’t you see that the man is all decked out in Y·Y?" Qi Yi patted Yan Yan’s clenched fist, his face showing that he wanted to laugh but was holding it back.

He saw clearly how his girlfriend had wanted to flee just a moment ago.

But his girlfriend wasn’t trying to run away from fans; she thought someone was after her to beat her up?

Qi Yi didn’t understand why Yan Yan would think that way.

Yan Yan also didn’t understand why Qi Yi suddenly mentioned what the man was wearing.

Yan Yan was disheartened by the absence of fans lining up, and had jumped to conclusions, especially after the first person who looked up at her had such an intimidating, evil look.

The face was terrifying enough; who would still be in the mood to notice what the person was wearing?

After Qi Yi pointed it out, Yan Yan finally thought to check the clothes the "Evil Spirit" was wearing.

Apart from his shoes, his entire outfit—jeans, shirt, bracelet, belt—was all Y·Y.

When the "Evil Spirit" saw Yan Yan looking, he excitedly pointed behind him.

Having just had a racing heartbeat due to her "escape," Yan Yan seriously looked in the direction the "Evil Spirit" was pointing.

The step-down plaza was so crowded that it was almost impossible to move.

On closer look, everyone was clad in Y·Y, with many wearing unique "items."

Yan Yan also spotted the special edition she had personally designed for the opening of the Rockefeller Center Store, and the first permanent graffiti model released on July 1st when the Rockefeller Center flagship store reopened.

It turned out everyone had not queued up on the street but had directly gone to the plaza.

Why?

Didn’t everyone look forward to buying the limited-edition shoes?

But before she could figure out this question, Yan Yan had been "stupidly cried" by all the scenarios she had just imagined.

note 1:

Lady M, originating from New York, is a dessert shop similar to the previously introduced Shake Shack burger, and this dessert shop has also become famous worldwide.

It is wildly popular in Singapore and Hong Kong.

In September 2017, when Xiao Mo’s book was shelved, Lady M also opened a store in IFC Mall, Shanghai.

A single piece of cake costs about 75 yuan, and the queue takes three hours to start.

Numerous fans came to "pilgrim" during the opening.

Even the number scalpers who help people queue at various hospitals in Shanghai came in droves.

There were not only number scalpers, but also fake number sellers, and even "scalper" cakes emerged.

The Lady M at Rockefeller Center only offers takeaway with no dine-in service, and purchasing can be completed in just three to five minutes.

The price per slice of cake ranges from 7.5 to 8.5 dollars, which is much cheaper than in China.

It’s located right next to the Rockefeller Center ticket office.

Definitely don’t miss it as you pass by~

～～～～～

Lady M in Shanghai is about 20% more expensive than in Hong Kong, and there’s a joke online about earning thirty-five thousand a month by flying to Hong Kong to buy Lady M cakes on behalf of others.

Xiao Mo will post it in the book club group for all the foodies to see how to eat and get rich at the same time.

(When it comes to desserts, I just can’t stop, let’s continue! Seeking a monthly ticket~)
