Ye Shi stood up, equally surprised, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"You guys go wait for me over there." Zhu Huai handed the documents in his hand to the shop assistant behind him, then approached her.

"This is my shop. I never expected that we would have such a connection, that you would come here."

Ye Shi glanced at the store's style, and it did indeed resemble his own.

Zhu Huai gestured forward, "Let's talk in my office."

"No, I have to go now."

"After all, we're old friends. Since you're here, it wouldn't be right not to have a cup of tea. Come sit down and have a chat."

Ye Shi had no choice but to go over.

The office is beautifully decorated, with demos of various musical instruments hanging on the walls and bookshelves filled with books.

On the wall hang photos of him from his school days, certificates of merit he received in junior and senior high school, and his graduation photo from university.

But every single one of them is a solo photo of him.

Ye Shi suddenly found this very ironic.

Zhu Huai took off his suit jacket and went over to pour her a cup of coffee.

"Please make yourself at home. My place isn't very big, so please don't mind."

Ye Shi sat down on the sofa and said coldly, "This place of yours is not small. It takes a lot of ability to take over this piece of land in such a big shopping mall."

"It's all about making a living. I just came back from abroad and was thinking of opening a small shop here to run a business I like. Sometimes I can also reminisce about my youth and think back to when we were in school. I feel quite nostalgic."

Shishi, do you remember when I walked you to school in high school, and when I brought you breakfast outside your dorm on a freezing cold day in college...?

He sat down opposite her and thoughtfully placed coffee and a handkerchief for her.

Ye Shi coldly interrupted him, "So you're running this shop part-time?"

"Yes, I work at Hengshang Pharmaceutical Company as the general manager. This store is something I opened separately."

"Congratulations, you've finally gotten what you wanted."

Looking at her serene face, Zhu Huai rubbed his hands together and hesitated, "Then why didn't you accept my WeChat friend request?"

Ye Shi raised her eyes and said coolly, "I don't think we need to exchange contact information anymore. People should move on, shouldn't they?"

"We should look forward, but not completely sever ties. Over the years, I have tried to contact you, but you have always refused. I thought I was bothering you and President Fu, so I didn't dare to contact you anymore."

"Since everything was made clear back then, there's no need to stay in touch."

"That's true." Zhu Huai smiled awkwardly and gently pushed the coffee towards her.

"Try it. I brought this back from abroad. My customers all say it tastes good."

Ye Shi: "I'm sorry, I never drink coffee."

“You used to drink it all the time, but it’s been a few years, so I understand that your tastes have changed.” Zhu Huai smiled lightly and changed the subject. “Yesterday I saw you leaving with your son. I didn’t know your child had grown so much. He looks a lot like you and is quite cute.”

"Five years can change a lot of things. You said that back then, and now I'm returning that to you." Ye Shi picked up her bag and stood up. "You're busy, I'm leaving now."

"Shishi, wait a minute."

Zhu Huai took out a super Transformers toy gift set and placed it on the table. "This is a gift I prepared for your son. I know the Fu family is very rich, and the child certainly doesn't lack this, but this is just a small token of my appreciation."
