Chapter 260
260 – Nostalgic Taste
“It’s okay. Give it to me. If you don’t have it, just make it again.”
“Yes… ?”
“It’s okay to drink a lot. So, I’ll definitely ask for a lemon tart.”
Rayleigh is stubborn again today.
Even though I was treated harshly yesterday, there has been no change.
She didn’t seem to care about other menu items.
I was embarrassed to recommend anything else, so I confidently requested only the ‘Lemon Tart’. Despite my warning that it was so sour that it was uncomfortable to eat.
“Are you sure you don’t mind? “Because it’s not usually sour.”
“Can you please don’t make me say it twice, Junior? Just give it to me. “Why are you talking so much?”
“Of course I’m worried about that…”
“Wow, that’s touching. The son of a man who is practically my enemy, takes care of all my worries? “Is this so touching?”
Rayleigh laughs at my sincere concerns.
She let out a small laugh and laughed.
As if to say something that makes sense.
“Haha… Instead, how about a similar orange tart? Look at the orange color that resembles the lady’s beautiful hair. This won’t taste much different from the lemon tart…”
Nevertheless, I desperately tried to save the day. Because I didn’t want to repeat something similar to yesterday if possible.
“Hmph, stop putting on obvious candy. “I just wish they would give me a lemon tart like I asked for?”
“Tsk…”
Rayleigh snorts coldly.
With an expression of complete disbelief.
My persuasion was of no use at all.
This was almost a single-minded lemon tart.
Of course, it was partly because he recognized me as the breeder’s son, but Rayleigh was basically exclusive to other races, so he always maintained a cold attitude.
“Raylee? It’s because Mr. Breeder is worried about you. Is it okay for him to react that way? “There must be a good reason why they are trying to stop you.”
“Sophia, you’re out. I just want to eat lemon tart. And why is everyone so interested in me today? Strange…”
Sophia intervened and helped me,
Rayleigh waved his hand as if he was annoyed.
Her obsession with lemon tarts was that great.
“Huh, then please wait a moment.”
“Yes, yes. It should have come out like that a long time ago.”
“Really… “There’s no point in regretting it later, right?”
“No matter what you do, I won’t blame you, so come to me first. And seeing you keep hiding it like this makes me even more curious about the taste?”
ㅡHehehe… ♡
Only then did Rayleigh smile brightly, as if satisfied.
‘It’s pretty, but it’s so pretty. I guess she’s not the main heroine like Sophia…’
The attitude towards me was arrogant,
The smile was dazzlingly beautiful.
So much so that it’s hard to refuse Rayleigh’s request.
If she had been a little kinder to me, I might have been captivated by this smile and taken out everything, including my liver and gallbladder.
It was a smile that indirectly made me feel how sad I was inside.
ㅡRattling, chin… !
‘Er, I don’t know. Yesterday, I tolerated the 10x concentrated mint cream, but just lemon would be fine.’
I immediately prepared a lemon tart.
It was too salty so I had to leave it out separately.
The inside of the tart is so bright yellow that it dazzles your eyes.
Just looking at it makes my salivary glands throb and stimulate. It reminded me of the more sour taste I had tasted earlier.
“Here is the lemon tart and coffee you ordered. Please try the tart just a little bit…”
“Wow, it looks pretty decent on the outside, right? “It just looks delicious?”
Rayleigh looks at her plate and gives a surprising reaction. So far, they seemed to like it quite a bit.
“Actually, this lemon tart… “I prepared it while thinking of Lady Rayleigh.”
“Under? What? “Where are you rolling your tongue that doesn’t make sense?”
“Sechi tongue?”
“Just now, you said it was too sour and recommended something else, right? But you prepared it for me? Do you think I’m a fool? How dare you say something unbecoming poetry… !”
ㅡFlash!
Rayleigh glares at me with her left eye.
So much so that I could feel the stinging static electricity on her face.
It felt like he was threatening me and telling me to make a good excuse.
But what I just said wasn’t sugar-coated. Because it was a dessert that was truly made with Rayleigh in mind.
To be exact, I was able to think of the dessert called tart itself thanks to Rayleigh.
“Well, it’s not such a grand reason. Do you remember what happened yesterday?”
“Yesterday? What does it matter now? “I don’t really want to remember what happened yesterday?”
“You were the first to extend a hand of reconciliation to me yesterday, right? Of course, there was a small incident… Anyway, that’s why I wanted to repay you.”
“Ha?”
“And while I was wondering what Lady Rayleigh would like, I ended up gathering some information from here and there.”
“Well, you found out for yourself what I like? The words are Cheongsanyusu…”
When should you stop rolling your tongue?
Rayleigh is now listening to me.
It was because I spoke well so as not to hurt her feelings.
“Yes, according to the information I received, I heard that you like sweet and sour fruits. Especially those with a strong sour taste…”
“Well, who did that…” ” ” … ?!”
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you that. Anyway, thanks to that information, I came up with and prepared a lemon tart. Of course, unfortunately, it was so sour that it was taken off the menu.”
“Hmm, that… That was the reason. So you said that from the beginning? Sheesh…”
In fact, I did not hear this information from anyone. If I had to be specific, did I get a hint from past memories?
Reilly’s influence in deciding today’s dessert menu to be fruit tart was also great.
That’s because the scene that was briefly shown in the main light yesterday remained in my mind.
-For me, the lemon tart that the teacher made was the most delicious!
Reminds me of Rayleigh’s past
The face of a girl smiles brightly.
Strangely, that image of her couldn’t leave my mind.
So she ended up making tarts. Of course, there was also a small expectation that it might increase Rayleigh’s favorability rating
“Is this a sufficient explanation?”
“Hmph, I don’t know who I got the information from, but I commend you on that.”
“Thank you.”
“But don’t be too proud. Until now, the only person who completely understood my tastes was you. “I wish I knew that in advance.”
“Hmm? What does that mean?”
“I don’t need to know the details. Anyway, if you eat this, you will know for sure.”
ㅡSplat!
With those words, Riley picks up a lemon tart.
Forks and knives were prepared,
She dared to pick it up with her hand.
I am ready to swallow a palm-sized lemon tart in one bite.
This appearance also resembled her childhood.
“I don’t know how much it will cost, but for now, let’s eat well, right? “I hope I can reproduce at least half of your skills.”
ㅡAh… !
And then Rayleigh opens her mouth wide as if she can’t take it anymore.
‘Are you really trying to swallow it all at once?’
ㅡHaaap… ! Thump!
My prediction was exactly right.
She warned me like that earlier,
Rayleigh swallows the tart in one bite without hesitation.
Ah, I don’t know.
Even if I fall again, I won’t know.
There’s no chance of your favorability falling any further anyway, right?
‘Anyway, I never thought I would be so obsessed with lemon tarts… ‘ …’
ㅡWow! Wasak… !
ㅡWell, well… !
Soon, Rayleigh chews the tart slowly. Savoring the taste with a calmer expression than expected.
Is it resistant to sour tastes or acids?
-Gulp… !
How many times did he chew it like that?
For a moment, I thought time had stopped.
Not surprisingly, Rayleigh, who swallowed the tart, did not move at all.
I thought there would be an immediate reaction,
I never imagined it would be this calm.
I never thought I would peacefully close my eyes and remain silent.
“…”
The longer her silence lasted, the more nervous she became.
Because no one knew whether the meaning of this silence was positive or negative.
“… There is no culture to be found. Are you going to swallow it in one bite again?”
Sophia, who was sitting next to her, just glanced at Rayleigh while muttering indifferently.
And that was then.
“ Cough, cluck-?! Wow, keke… !”
ㅡCheolpudeok!
Rayleigh shows a similar reaction to yesterday and falls down on the table.
It really happened in an instant.
“Well then… ” ! Lady Rayleigh?! Spit it out quickly!”
I clicked my tongue and held out the napkin I had prepared.
But…
“How… & Tongue, the taste is so sour that it makes your tongue tingle… ? This is so… It’s a nostalgic taste… ♡”
Huh? What? There’s something strange about this reaction… ?
It was a very different reaction from yesterday.
At first I thought I was nauseous,
It was never like that.
ㅡBurrrr… !
Rather, he was lying face down and shaking his whole body, admiring the sour taste of lemon.
As if convulsing from extreme pleasure.
ㅡTiring!
