After graduating from university, Yun Kesong used the popularity she had built as a food blogger to start her own dessert shop.

Over its three years of business, many customers came and went.

Only one unfamiliar man's face left a deep impression on her.

Especially his striking, peach-blossom eyes.

Yun Kesong noticed that he ordered croissants more than anything else.

Every time he came, he took one to go.

Then he would order a cup of coffee, sit there, and paint all afternoon.

But later on,

it seemed the man no longer came to the shop just for a croissant and a place to paint...

At some point, those eyes

began to follow her everywhere.

The paintings on his paper

also began to show her face.

At first, Qi Feng came for the croissants.

Later, he really did come for the croissants.

[Reader's Guide]

1v1, happy ending, sexually experienced leads.

1. A medium-to-long romance-focused story, around 150,000 words.

2. This is a writing exercise. I can only promise to do my best to keep it from getting angsty.

3. All place names are fictional.

4. The male lead knew the female lead earlier than she imagines, but she doesn't know it. Later on, there will also be some secret identity reveals.

5. This isn't a typical food story. The focus is on romance, but the overall feel is slice-of-life, with a slow and understated relationship development. If you come across something you don't like, feel free to stop reading in time~

6. The descriptions of their professions are based on information found online. They may not be rigorous, so corrections are welcome ^ ^

7. I'm bad at writing blurbs, so please judge it by the story itself.

8. Hope you enjoy reading.
