But considering that Xiao Gudu might have been waiting for his arrival in the store, Qingshui Lin simply gave up the idea of continuing to explore.
The white-haired girl walked into the alley.
You will know if it is true after trying it.
Walk into the alley.
Lin immediately noticed the difference in this alley - it was not a dark and damp dead end as Lin had imagined. On the contrary, it connected the two commercial streets in front and behind.
Although it is not located in a bustling area, there are still many pedestrians passing by here every day. It can be regarded as a relatively hidden path.
The houses on both sides of the alley are relatively low, and the sunlight from overhead is sufficient to shine in, making the lighting inside the alley particularly good. Coupled with the carefully cultivated potted flowers next to the dessert shop, the alley appears to be somewhat lively and elegant.
It's hard not to be curious.
Qing Shui Lin walked quickly to the door of the dessert shop with some anticipation. Through the clean window glass, she could see the whole picture of the dessert shop.
The overall decoration style is Western, but the tables and chairs are Chinese. There are many exquisite handicrafts on the front desk cabinet, which are estimated to be worth a lot of money.
There are not many seats in the store. There is a porcelain vase on each solid wooden table, with different flowers in the vase, which is simple but beautiful.
The only thing that puzzled Rin was that she couldn't see the sample cabinet inside the store.
Generally speaking, in order to help customers in the store make choices better and faster, dessert shops usually display various samples in glass cabinets for customers to choose from and refer to.
But this dessert shop doesn't have any of those. There's only a small blackboard covered with words placed above the front desk, which resembles the layout of pastry shops in the 1970s and 1980s.
Qing Shui Lin couldn't even see where the owner of this dessert shop was. There was no one guarding the cash register at the front counter, and there were no waiters inside the store.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too early or because the store is not popular, but the entire dessert shop seems empty. Even though the store is not big, it exudes a lonely atmosphere.
Such a unique dessert shop naturally attracted Rin Shimizu, who pursues individuality.
Lin's intuition told her that this dessert shop would suit her taste very well.
"It feels surprisingly good...but how can a dessert shop like this not have any customers?"
Rin Shimizu doesn't know whether passers-by will be attracted by this unique dessert shop in the alley.
But the atmosphere in the dessert shop is peaceful and calm, without any loud noises - such a shop will surely attract some people who like to relax, and even if they just sit there for a while, it will give people a different feeling.
Qing Shui Lin gently opened the wooden side door of the dessert shop and was about to step into the dessert shop.
The next moment, the sound of wind chimes echoed melodiously in the store, as if welcoming the arrival of the guests.
“Ding ding ling…”
The sound of the wind chimes gradually stopped.
Shimizu Rin raised her eyes and looked around the store. Finally, she successfully found the pink-haired guitarist who was lowering his head and looking autistic at the moment - Goto Ichiri.
The girl sat in an inconspicuous seat in the corner, her coffee on the table untouched, her guitar case placed beside her.
Suddenly, a kind voice sounded in Lin's ears.
"Would you like something to drink, little girl?"
In the baking room on the side, a white-haired old man walked out quickly, took off his apron, and came to the front desk.
The old store manager has a kind face, wears a well-fitting high-end suit, stands straight, and his behavior reveals an inexplicable elegance.
He did not have the decadent look that an ordinary old man should have. Not only was he in good health, but his demeanor also naturally revealed the refinement of a gentleman.
"All the desserts and drinks in our store are on the blackboard. You can take your time to choose. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask me." The old store manager introduced in an orderly manner.
There was no emotion in his expression, only basic gentlemanly etiquette, as if the person in front of him, Shimizu Rin, was not his guest, but an equal friend.
Hearing this, Qing Shui Lin quickly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the small blackboard on the stage.
Compared to other dessert shops with a wide variety of desserts, this shop looks plain and simple in style. There are only some common pastries and hand-baked cookies on the desserts, and only tea and coffee on the drinks. There is not even ordinary fruit juice here.
A very retro dessert shop.
But the most important thing is not the decoration of the dessert shop or the old gentleman manager, but the problem that worries Qingshui Rin the most.
The desserts and drinks here are almost the cheapest prices Lin has ever seen, even lower than those in some convenience stores.
It doesn't look like they are going to make a profit at all.
“Plop, plop…”
Heart pounding.
A rapid heartbeat can be applied not only to people you have feelings for, but also to foods you are interested in.
Although Shimizu Rin doesn't know how these desserts taste, just based on the extremely low price, even if she gets a stomachache today, she will still try them!
"Please give me a cup of coffee and a serving of their signature biscuits. No sugar in the coffee, thank you." Shimizu Rin thought about it and finally decided to order something safe.
Furthermore, her current financial situation is difficult.
"Ok."
The old store manager nodded gently, wrote down the customer's needs in a notebook, and turned to walk towards the bakery.
Watched the old store manager return to the bakery.
Shimizu Rin carried her Santa on her back and walked quickly towards the seat where Goto Ichiri was sitting, waking up the girl who was immersed in her own world.
"One mile."
The girl's voice reached his ears, and Goto Ichiri, who was in autism, was instantly awakened.
With a catapulted start, Yili's head almost hit the white wall beside her. She was still frightened, but when she saw Lin appear, she quickly calmed down.
"Ah, it's Rin..."
Goto Ichiri said happily, and her pale face suddenly had some color. She looked at Rin sitting opposite her, and the smile on her face became even wider.
Sitting alone in a store waiting for a friend is indeed extremely painful for an autistic person with social anxiety.
Fortunately, the old store manager was not usually in the store, otherwise his inquiring gaze would undoubtedly make Goto Ichiri so embarrassed that he would melt.
"How are things these past few days, I..."
Later, the two girls had a brief chat about their recent situation and exchanged feedback from each other's fans.
Shimizu Rin pulled out the pre-drafted contract and the duo's business plan from his pocket and placed them all in front of Ichiri.
At the same time, the false personality - pretending to be sunny, pretending to be lonely and aloof, and adopting a pioneering virtual worldview.
Part of Rin's inspiration came from Shoko's Ave Mujica, but in fact most of the core has already been completely changed by Rin.
Besides, without discussing whether Xiangzi's worldview is childish or not, how can one not help laughing?
But it is undeniable that this is indeed a very effective show with enough highlights.
If she could get ahead of Xiangzi, her online group with Xiao Gudu would surely quickly accumulate an initial wave of popularity.
And considering Goto Ichiri's social phobia and the acute problem that the two cannot reveal their true identities, Shimizu Rin must make different changes on this basis and completely transform it into the best fertilizer needed on the development path of the duo.
Goto Ichiri nodded, picked up the contract that Rin handed her, and without much hesitation, she signed her name on the last line.
There is no need to hesitate at all.
Shimizu Rin had sent a sample of the contract to Goto Ichiri long before, asking Goto Ichiri to consider it carefully and see if it needed to be revised later.
After receiving the sample contract, Goto Ichiri hesitated for a long time and did not make her own decision, so she had to turn to her parents.
Because she knew nothing about combination contracts, she could only seek help from reliable and experienced adults in her family.
After carefully reading the contract sample sent by Rin, the Goto couple said that there was no problem with the contract, and let their eldest daughter go with her friends without worry to create a world of her own.
The Internet is wonderful.
Ichiri's father, Naoki Goto, is a member of the older generation of band players and he understands the possibilities that exist on the Internet.
At the same time, he understands the importance of rock music to his daughter's life, so all he can do is to support Yili and her friends with all he has.
Just like before, he persuaded Yili to post guitar cover videos on the Internet, accumulate some virtual fans, and let his daughter who loves playing guitar find a sense of success on the Internet.
With the support of her parents, Goto Ichiri's worries completely disappeared. She remembered the previous agreement she had made with Rin, which made Ichiri more determined.
"I've signed... Rin, please give me your guidance on my future guitar journey!"
Goto Ichiri once again said something strange.
But Rin didn't care.
The girl's casual words were just a momentary touch of emotion that would not last long, so Rin did not take Ichiri's words to heart.
Then, the two turned to discuss another important matter - the name of the girl group.
"What do you think is a good name for our group, Ichiri?" asked Shimizu Rin with a chuckle.
Previously, the two girls had discussed the topic of the group name on Line.
Unfortunately, we were never satisfied at the end of each discussion, so the naming issue has been delayed until now.
"The fastest and strongest?"
Goto Ichiri tilted her head and babbled her first thoughts.
This was the first time in Goto Ichiri's life that he had the experience of naming his own "band".
In the past, Goto Ichiri's class organized a group activity at school that required grouping. Because of her social anxiety, she was forced by the teacher to be exiled to the team that was short of people.
Then the teacher announced that everyone in the group should discuss the name of their group.
Whenever this happened, the other students in the group would discuss it intensely.
Although Goto Ichiri had her own ideas in her heart, she was unable to muster up the courage to join in the lively discussions among her classmates due to her social anxiety.
Her socially anxious personality prevents her from actively integrating into the group.
So much so that the girl still feels that when it comes to getting along, it’s better to be with two people...
Me and Rin... this duo is the most suitable, isn't it?
"Isn't this a bit too childish..."
Shimizu Rin shook her head slightly, immediately expressing her refusal and vetoing this second-year name.
The childish character settings are acceptable, but the name of the duo is definitely not!
Shimizu Rin doesn't want to play her own Santa with a middle school setting, as this goes against the personality she pursues.
Personality should be unique!
If they follow a clichéd routine in the long run, they will easily be labeled as "middle school students" by their fans, which is equivalent to imposing a set of constraints on themselves invisibly.
Totally unacceptable!
"Rin Boki?"
Without thinking, Goto Ichiri immediately expressed his second idea.
"No, it's too easy to expose myself. I won't even need to say anything before someone I know recognizes me."
Qing Shui Lin said helplessly.
Guitarist Rin's name has already accumulated a lot of fame due to Rin Shimizu's frequent and high-quality performances.
Being well-known in Tokyo, it means that if the name Rin is mentioned, the lead guitarist Rin Shimizu will be easily recognized by those who are interested.
Then things will get bad...
Before it explodes, many people on the Internet will be eager to open the box for themselves.
anyway.
Qing Shui Lin must reduce the possibility of all this happening in time and try to nip all signs of bad things in the bud in the future.
"Ah, that's it..."
Goto Ichiri lowered her head in distress. She picked up the white porcelain cup, tilted her head back and drank the unsweetened coffee in one gulp. The bitter feeling rushed straight into her brain, and her cute face suddenly wrinkled.
The girl knew that she was not a genius at naming. Even though she had a rich imagination, she couldn't think of a catchy name for the duo at the moment.
As for choosing a band name or something... maybe they should ask another pink-haired Tang Tang?
But at this moment, both girls were struggling to come up with a name for their duo.
After all, this is a major event concerning their future development.
A good name leads to a good start.
Finally, after thinking for a while, an idea suddenly came to Goto Ichiri's mind, a flash of inspiration.
