Coffee and Cake Planet

[There are locust trees in the south, which are covered with kudzu and mulberry trees. Recently, two stores opened on South Street at almost the same time. One is a coffee shop, mostly selling mocha coffee. For example: white mocha, mochaccino, zebra mocha... One is a cake shop, selling mostly matcha cakes. For example: Matcha tiramisu, Matcha layer cake, Matcha mousse cake... The names of the two stores are very similar. One is called Mocha. One is called Matcha. I wanted to buy matcha cake, but I mistakenly entered the Mocha Coffee Shop because I glanced at the sign. The owner of the Mocha Coffee Shop is a girl with short brown curly hair and delicate features. Her skin is so white that it reflects light. When she smiles, there are two small pear dimples at the corners of her lips. She seemed to be used to this: "Matcha cake, turn right when you go out. I hope you can come and try the mocha coffee in my store next time." The customers who went to the wrong place were melted and said that actually buying a cup of coffee would not be a bad idea. I wanted to buy mocha coffee, but I accidentally stumbled into a matcha cake shop because I glanced at the sign. The owner of the cake shop is a boy with dark skin and strong muscles. He smiles with a standard eight-tooth smile when he sees people, which reminds people of black toothpaste. He seemed to be used to this: "Mocha Coffee is on the left when you go out. I hope you can come and try the matcha cake in my store next time." The owner's honest smile prompted the customers to say that it would actually be good to buy a piece of matcha cake. Then. Those who bought the mocha coffee took a sip and found it rich and mellow, which was good; Those who bought the matcha cake took a sip and found that it was slightly bitter but sweet, which was good. The pairing of coffee and cake is standard, and the two of them tasted coffee and cake from both companies together. The result... Poof—— It tastes bad! ! Unpalatable! ! When the two are superimposed, the chocolate of mocha masks the elegance of matcha, while the bitterness of matcha amplifies the burnt bitterness of coffee, forming a "double bitterness chaos." It seems mocha coffee and matcha cake don't go together. Even the owners of the two stores seemed to be at odds. Someone saw that the girl at the Mocha Coffee Shop and the boy at the Matcha Cake Shop didn't like each other and often yelled at each other. The other shops on South Street shook their heads. It seemed that these two people could not continue the blessing of this street name. But later. When someone went to a coffee shop, he saw cake crumbs and a little green cream stained on the corner of the boss's mouth. Matcha cake! You can't go wrong. When someone went to a cake shop, they found a layer of white foam and a little bit of nut crumbs on the boss's upper lip. Mocha coffee! You can't go wrong. From then on, other shop owners on South Street began to carefully observe the movements of the two stores. I found that every night, the cake shop owner would close the door first. When he came out, he would lean against the door of the coffee shop, changing from his usual simple and honest expression, with a cool expression: "It's too dark, I'll take you home." The cake shop owner didn't move. She tilted her head, and the moonlight shone on her body, which was so gentle that she said, "I remember that you have night blindness." The cake shop owner's eyes widened. In fact, if you look carefully, the tips of his slightly darker ears were red and bleeding: "You! Humph." The cake shop owner lowered his eyes and smiled, stepped forward and took the cake shop owner's hand: "Okay, I'll take you home, isn't it different?" "Of course it's different." "Why? Our homes are not the same?" "..." It turns out that the two people who always thought they "didn't get along" had already been living together! ! South Street will set off firecrackers to celebrate. The next day. The coffee shop that always only sold mocha coffee now sells latte, oat milk Australian white, iced drip coffee, and almost all kinds of coffee. The cake shop that always only sold matcha cakes now sells karst chocolate, apple pie, Swiss roll, and almost all kinds of cakes. People asked them why they changed? Hmm... Why? It's so hard to guess. Reading guide: 1. A short story, about 100,000 words. 2. Reunion after a long absence, reunion after a broken mirror. Intent: Enjoy delicious food (written on July 13, 2025)
