You and Ruan Mei stood side by side in a private location within Herta’s Space Station. As the 85th member of the Genius Society, you often collaborated closely with her, allowing the two of you to become familiar with each other’s tastes and preferences. It was during this time you discovered your mutual fondness for desserts, prompting today’s private gathering.

“Open your mouth.”

Ruan Mei softly instructed. Despite her typical indifference and cool, calculated demeanor, she genuinely enjoyed spending moments like these with you. Holding up her plate of Plum-Scented Soybean Cake, she carefully took a spoonful and aimed it toward your lips.

Out of politeness, you opened your mouth, allowing her to feed you. The moment the cake touched your tongue, you savored its delicate, delightful taste—it truly was delicious.

After feeding you a couple of spoonfuls, Ruan Mei’s curiosity sparked, prompting her to inquire about the dessert you brought.

“Your dessert… what is it?”

She asked, leaning slightly closer with genuine interest.

You explained that you brought chocolate mousse—a French delicacy she had never encountered before. You described how its texture could vary depending on the preparation, ranging from airy and fluffy to rich and creamy.

Ruan Mei listened intently, clearly fascinated by the chocolate mousse you held. Without hesitation, she opened her mouth slightly, indicating her wish for you to feed her, just as she had fed you.

You smiled and spoon-fed her the chocolate mousse. Her eyes closed gently as she savored each spoonful, clearly enjoying the new taste.

“This… is really good. I love it.”

She admitted quietly as her expression softened considerably. You couldn’t help but smile at her reaction. Seeing Ruan Mei, usually so composed and methodical, melt over something as simple as dessert—it was oddly endearing.

“Oh, I’ve already finished it…”

Ruan Mei said, noticing the empty dish where the chocolate mousse once was. Despite its simplicity, the dessert had been absolutely delightful.
