Wen Zhixia went to work part-time at the coffee shop as usual in the evening. Today was a weekday, so there weren't many people, and it was relatively quiet.

Ning Zhen also came over today to settle accounts. After the accounts were settled, Wen Zhixia said, "Sister Ning Zhen, I need to ask for three days off for A University's anniversary celebration next month."

Ning Zhen naturally knew about A University's anniversary celebration and had received an invitation, but she had other work to do next month and couldn't go: "I'll make arrangements then."

Wen Zhixia smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."

Ning Zhen said, "You're welcome. I'll be going now. Bye-bye."

Wen Zhixia hummed in agreement. She watched as Ning Zhen was about to leave, but someone pushed open the door and walked in first.

Ning Zhen exclaimed, "What a rare guest!"

Shen Jiachen smiled at her: "Sis, I just happened to be passing by, so I came in to buy a cake. Jiazhou wants to eat one."

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhen turned to Wen Zhixia and said, "Put his bill on my account."

Wen Zhixia nodded: "Okay."

Her gaze then fell on Shen Jiachen, who was also looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.

He continued to tell Ning Zhen, "I just saw my brother-in-law's car outside."

Ning Zhen exclaimed and punched Shen Jiachen: "Isn't he your brother-in-law?"

"Ouch." Shen Jiachen rubbed his arm. "Why did you hit me if you're not brother-in-law?"

Ning Zhen snorted: "What do you know, you little kid? Let's go."

Shen Jiachen said, "Bye-bye."

Ning Zhen left with light steps. Shen Jiachen glanced at her and thought to himself, "If this isn't my brother-in-law, then what is he?"

He withdrew his gaze, strode to the counter, looked at Wen Zhixia, and smiled, "Good evening, Zhixia."

We just met at noon, and now you're coming over again in the evening.

Wen Zhixia finally realized that Shen Jiachen's opportunity lay here.

She said, "Good evening."

Shen Jiachen said, "Give me a piece of strawberry cake."

Wen Zhixia nodded. Just as she was about to get it, Shen Jiachen said, "No rush, I'll stay with you until you get off work."

Wen Zhixia opened her mouth, about to say something, when Shen Jiachen said, "Don't worry, I won't disturb your work."

He's very sensible.

Shen Jiachen ordered a chocolate drink, but Wen Zhixia only ordered a cake and then gave him a glass of warm water.

Shen Jiachen looked at Wen Shui, then at Wen Zhixia.

Wen Zhixia said, "You don't even like drinking it, ordering it would be a waste, why bother?"

Shen Jiachen picked up his water glass, thinking to himself that Wen Zhixia still cared about him.

He smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for the water."

After saying that, he went to find a corner to sit down, and he really didn't bother anyone.

Wen Zhixia couldn't help but glance at them a couple more times. Shen Jiachen had already taken off his shirt and changed into casual clothes, making him look like a college student now.

Shen Jiachen looked at the glass window, where Wen Zhixia's reflection was visible; she was looking at him.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, knowing he had to keep up the good work.

However, his left profile seems to be more attractive, but if he were sitting opposite her, it wouldn't be convenient for her to see Wen Zhixia. Oh well, the right profile it is.

Wen Zhixia was unaware of Shen Jiachen's ulterior motives. After glancing at him a few times, she went about her own business.

However, she wasn't very busy tonight. She cleaned up the house slowly by herself, and she might be able to leave work on time.

But a loud bang outside drew the attention of the two people inside the coffee shop.

Wen Zhixia looked out the window. The wind had picked up. She had checked the weather forecast today, which said it would rain, but it hadn't rained yet. She thought it wouldn't rain, but now it was thundering.

After this rain, the temperature in City A will drop.

Wen Zhixia walked out from behind the counter, intending to put away the umbrellas that were open outside before the rain came, in case a strong wind blew them away. She also needed to bring the cloth chairs inside, otherwise they would get wet when it rained.

Shen Jiachen watched her leave, then got up and followed her out. Seeing her close the umbrella, he went over to help her secure it.

Wen Zhixia glanced at him: "This is my job."

"Um... This is my sister's coffee shop, it's normal for me, as her younger brother, to help out." He gave Wen Zhixia that bright smile again: "I'm not helping you, I'm helping my sister."

Wen Zhixia shut her mouth, but with Shen Jiachen's help, she finished dealing with the outside in less than five minutes.

Shen Jiachen glanced at his watch: "It's already 9:30, are you about to close up shop?"

Wen Zhixia hummed in agreement: "Before the rain starts, shall I wrap up the cake for you?"

Shen Jiachen said, "No rush, he's not home yet."

He then asked, "I have a younger brother. What about you? Do you have any siblings?"

Wen Zhixia walked back to the counter and replied, "I have a younger sister."

"That's good," Shen Jiachen muttered. "My sister is doing well."

He simply leaned against the counter and asked again, "Are you a local?"

“No, my home is in a county town.” Wen Zhixia glanced at him: “You’re definitely a local.”

Shen Jiachen chuckled foolishly.

Wen Zhixia couldn't help but ask, "Have you always been this cheerful?"

"No." Shen Jiachen was afraid that Wen Zhixia would think he was unreliable: "I'm usually quite serious, but when I see you, I can't help but smile."

Wen Zhixia paused in her hand as she picked up the item, then couldn't help but mutter, "So good at talking."

It doesn't seem like they haven't talked about it.

Shen Jiachen, with his sharp ears, heard this and said, "If you meet someone you like, even if you're a bit dull, you should still be sweet-talking so they know how you feel. I'm pursuing you, so of course I want you to know how I feel all the time."

Wen Zhixia didn't know why her ears felt a little hot. Why could Shen Jiachen say such a thing without changing his expression?

Shen Jiachen took in her reaction and thought to himself, "The netizens were right! You have to be brave and bold and express your feelings!"
