Since he's an official of the underworld, there's no need to call for a fight. She's a very easy person to talk to and is willing to give him some face.

So when Shen Ruodi asked her for a favor, she braved the wind and snow to come out and help.

The car stopped in front of a coffee shop on the street corner. Mingzhuo and Shen Ruodi got out of the car and went into the coffee shop.

It was snowing, and there weren't many people in the shop.

The shop assistant, who was dozing off, sat up abruptly when he heard the doorbell ring, staring wide-eyed at the two customers.

The main reason is that both of them are so good-looking that they are very eye-catching. Walking in feels like being in a movie.

Mingzhuo sat down and ordered two coffee and dessert sets. Just as the waiter was about to take the menu away, Mingzhuo stopped him and looked up at Shen Ruodi, "Aren't you going to drink?"

Shen Ruodi: "Didn't you order some for me?"

Mingzhuo: "You're dreaming! There's none for you, order it yourself!"

Although Shen Ruodi was from ancient times, he had a very good memory. He was unsure which one Ming Zhuo liked, so he simply ordered both of the set meals that Ming Zhuo had ordered.

What Ah Yin likes must be good.

The two had been sitting for a short while when the shop door jingled and someone hurriedly walked in.

"Zhuozhuo!" Xie Xiao saw the surprise on Mingzhuo's face, so she quickly took two steps forward, rushed over, and hugged Mingzhuo tightly.

Mingzhuo accepted the invitation and coughed lightly, "Please sit down first."

After Xie Xiao sat down, she kept holding Ming Zhuo's hand and talking nonstop: "How come you had time to come see me? Honestly, it's snowing, why did you need to make a special trip? I should be the one looking for you! Your old classmates all miss you!"

She was genuinely surprised that Mingzhuo had made a special trip to her house to find her.

There was a huge sense of surprise and appreciation for being valued.

"But we bought a new house, a big single-level apartment! We'll be moving out soon, we won't be living here anymore..."

Mingzhuo: "Is that so? Congratulations."

When the desserts and coffee were served, Xie Xiao noticed that there were other people next to her.

She felt a little embarrassed and quickly sat up straight.

Ming Zhuo introduced, "This is Shen Ruodi, and this is Xie Xiao."

Xie Xiao took the initiative to greet her: "Hello."

She was a little confused about the relationship between Mingzhuo and the person in front of her.

If they were a couple, it seems unlikely. Judging from their posture, they weren't affectionate at all, and there was even a hint of wariness between them.

Shen Ruodi seemed to understand something. He first looked at Ming Zhuo, and when Ming Zhuo nodded, he looked at Xie Xiao.

At this moment, he transformed into an ordinary person, wearing a black overcoat of excellent quality and frameless glasses, looking like a runaway young master who had just come from a lavish banquet.

He looked at Xie Xiao, and the Ghost King concealed his aura. For a moment, he resembled the holy and immaculate High Priest in the temple.

His eyes were gentle and smiling as he slowly extended his hand: "Hello, Xie Xiao, I am Shen Ruodi, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Xie Xiao was puzzled. Was this social etiquette for adults? She reached out and shook hands with the other person.

Oh dear, this person's hands are so cold! They look all dressed up, but it turns out they're both beautiful and freezing.

Xie Xiao muttered to herself, but couldn't help saying, "Why don't you have a cup of coffee to warm yourself up?"

Is it really okay for a grown man to have hands colder than a woman's?

Mingzhuo ordered two set meals, one for Xie Xiao, and she ate the other.

Shen Ruodi ordered two servings, and he drank two cups of coffee and ate two desserts.

Xie Xiao found it even stranger. It was already afternoon, and she had drunk two cups of coffee. Wasn't she afraid of not being able to sleep at night?

Mingzhuo: "Alright, everyone can go now that we've finished eating. I'll pay the bill."

There were still guests at home, and she couldn't just abandon them.

Shen Ruodi stood up: "Let me do it."

He went to the cashier to pay, touched the pocket of his coat, and suddenly his expression changed slightly.

Xie Xiao noticed something was wrong and immediately guessed that he had probably forgotten to bring money.

"Let me do it," Xie Xiao quickly said, taking her phone and walking over.

Mingzhuo felt this was wrong. She and Shen Ruodi had no problem paying the bill, so why should Xie Xiao pay?

But when she touched her pocket, her expression changed. She had been unconscious for so long that she had forgotten how a normal person lived. She sent a text message to Xie Xiao to meet at this store, but she forgot to bring her phone when she left!

Xie Xiao didn't see anything wrong with paying the bill. Given Ming Zhuo's life-saving grace, she could pay as many times as she wanted.

She was a little embarrassed, especially when Shen Ruodi asked if she could pay by mobile phone.

She felt really strange and almost suspected that the other person was a scumbag who was deliberately trying to trick her.

Shen Ruodi said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a cell phone. I'll definitely remember to bring one next time."

He made a point of tinkering with the car, clothes, and watch, because the ghost messenger said that these two items were symbols of a person's status.

Xie Xiao said awkwardly, "Oh, then you should go buy it quickly."

Mingzhao: "..."

Modern people don't even have cell phones?! Help! This is even more embarrassing!

The three of them were huddled around the cashier. Just as Xie Xiao opened the payment code and was about to scan it, a long, slender hand holding a mobile phone reached over.

With a "beep" sound, the QR code was successfully scanned.

Mingzhuo paused for a moment, then looked up at the person standing behind him.

"Ah Xu, what brings you here?" Her pupils reflected the other person's face, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. "What a coincidence."

Gu Xu said, "Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you."

Mingzhuo immediately understood that Axu probably saw him leave in a car, but perhaps he didn't see it with his own eyes, or the guard post notified him.
