Chapter 36: Don’t judge a person by appearance
That kind of fun only lasts one day.
The next day, Li Yan went to work reluctantly, because due to the vacancy yesterday afternoon, he would have to work overtime today.
The finishing work is not that easy to do.
Man, you really can't let go.
A moment of fun comes at a price.
Well, I was very happy to be with my brother yesterday.
Not long after he left, Li Nuo also got up. He had no holidays during his part-time job this month and had to go every day.
In the afternoon, when it was almost time to get off work, I unexpectedly saw the manager walk into the coffee shop again.
"Sister Yun." Li Nuo greeted her.
Yun Jin, contrary to his usual behavior, looked him around twice, and uttered words of amazement.
Then he waved to him to come out from the bar.
Su Xing on the side pushed him and said, "Go ahead. The boss can't find you. Be careful about getting your money deducted."
Linuo brought over the coffee.
"I heard that guy came to see you these two days?"
He was stunned. "Who?"
"Mo Chuan, that guy was shocked when he saw your photo in my phone."
Li Nuo suddenly realized. No wonder he said that day that he learned it from Sister Yun.
"Yes, Director Mo has been here these past two days, and Director Qin was here yesterday as well."
"Director Qin?" Yun Jin looked thoughtful. To talk about the person named Qin who appeared with Mo Chuan...
"Director Qin Xu, do you know Sister Yun?"
Yun Jin almost spit out his coffee as a cold and ruthless face and sinister eyes flashed through his mind.
She shook her body, as if trying to get rid of some cold and gloomy energy.
I suddenly understood in my heart that it was indeed Qin Xu.
But why did Qin Xu come to his own coffee shop?
Are you here to see Mo Chuan?
Or maybe...
She raised her eyes and looked at the young man sitting opposite her. He still had the same handsome appearance, gentle and kind. Even though he had worked for several hours and there was some fatigue between his brows, he was still very attractive.
"Do you know Qin Xu?" Yun Jin asked curiously.
"I guess so. I've met him a few times." Li Nuo answered cautiously.
This person is not mentioned in the novel, so he doesn't know what his relationship with Qin Xu is. Even if he is the boss, it's always better to be careful.
Looking at his hesitant expression, Yun Jin laughed for a moment, "Don't worry, I don't want to deal with Qin Xu. That guy is not my cup of tea. Besides, he's scary, isn't he? Those eyes."
Having said this, she looked at Li Nuo several times. Mo Chuan alone was not enough, and Qin Xu actually got involved as well?
That cold-faced evil spirit Qin Xu?
I really don't know whether to say that he is charming or unlucky.
Li Nuo had no idea what Yun Jin was thinking, he nodded seriously.
Although I am not afraid now, I still find that look unbearable after seeing it too many times.
I don't know how Qin Xu, with that kind of personality, can tolerate Mo Chuan's eccentricity.
"However, although I don't know how you got to know those two people, you should still be careful," Yun Jin put down the cup, "Don't think I'm talking too much, I just can't stand it, you will regret it in the future."
"Regret?"
"Because it's obvious that he's got his eyes on you," Yun Jin leaned in and said, "Although Mo Chuan looks gentle, I've never seen him take matters of the heart seriously. He's never changed since high school."
After Yun Jin finished speaking, he sat up straight and looked at Li Nuo, but saw that he had a strange expression on his face and blinked at him.
"Why are you being so cold to me? Although I like your face, I don't like your age." Yun Jin asked curiously.
"Uh--" Although Li Nuo was looking at her, his gaze was not focused on her, but on a certain position behind her.
Yun Jin's scalp tingled and he felt a gaze coming from behind him.
She turned around carefully and saw Mo Chuan holding a bouquet of flowers and giving her a deathly gaze with an expressionless face.
It seemed that he heard what she just said.
Yun Jin's expression suddenly became embarrassed. Although she felt that she was right in saying that, she was still saying bad things about others behind their backs.
Well, mainly because I was caught in the act.
Moreover, this person helped me two days ago.
"Ahem, well, I..." Yun Jin quickly stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys chat."
It is better to urinate.
Mo Chuan looked at her quickly fleeing back and narrowed his eyes. He would deal with her later for daring to ruin his image in front of Li Nuo.
He walked over to Li Nuo and handed the bouquet to her. "Yesterday's bouquet was left in the car for too long and has all wilted. This is a new one."
Li Nuo thought for a few seconds and took the bouquet, "You won't bring a bouquet of flowers every time you come to see me in the future, will you?"
He said this as a joke.
But after listening to it, Mo Chuan nodded and said, "How did you know? I was going to give you a bouquet of flowers every time."
"ah?"
"You know what?" Mo Chuan looked at him with burning eyes, "If I like a cloud, I don't necessarily want to get it, but if I like a flower, I will definitely pick it."
Li Nuo frowned, "If it feels like a curse, then you are really a scary person."
"But, Sister Yun is right," he changed the subject, reminding Mo Chuan that he didn't want to be targeted by him, "Your interests are really vile, it would be better if you don't focus on me."
I don’t know what kind of ideological struggle this guy went through after returning home last night. Today he became... well, a lot more wild.
Mo Chuan did not answer, but looked at his watch, "It's time for you to get off work, let's go, I'll take you home."
Li Nuo also looked at the time. It was already three o'clock.
"I just want to go back and rest today. I was very tired yesterday, even though I had a lot of fun." He said first that he didn't want to chat with Mo Chuan or go anywhere else today.
"I told you I'm just sending you back." Mo Chuan touched his head and smiled, "Don't worry."
Li Nuo put the flowers down and said, "I'll go clean them up."
He stood up and walked towards the staff room, while Mo Chuan sat down and waved to Yun Jin, who did not go to the bathroom but hid behind and secretly watched the two of them.
Yun Jin sat down with an embarrassed look on his face and spoke first: "I'm sorry. Although I don't think I said anything wrong, I still say sorry. This apology is only for my behavior of saying bad things about people behind their backs."
Mo Chuan was so angry that he laughed, "You are so good, Yun Jin, you still don't repent now, right? You are still slandering me secretly, and you feel sorry for helping you before."
"Because you are always like this, whether in the past or now, I am right. Do you still remember how many people's hearts you broke in high school?" Yun Jin said seriously, "I don't want that child to be hurt because he looks so innocent."
"Simple..." Mo Chuan thought that Li Nuo might really be quite simple now.
"You should just take care of yourself. Don't meddle with what happens between Li Nuo and me." Mo Chuan waved his hand in disdain.
"Hehe, but Qin Xu was here too? Yesterday?" Yun Jin asked curiously.
Mo Chuan frowned slightly, "If you are so curious, just go and ask him yourself."
Yun Jin smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.
After the two of them exchanged a few words, Li Nuo came out.
Mo Chuan stood up, handed the flowers to him, and wanted to take the bag from his hand.
Li Nuo shook his head and said, "I'll take it back myself."
Mo Chuan didn't insist on anything. He opened the door first and waited for Li Nuo to come out.
Li Nuo greeted Yun Jin and left.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, and Mo Chuan protecting Li Nuo's hand intentionally or unintentionally, Yun Jin raised an interested smile. It seems that he doesn't just want to play around?
Moreover, Li Nuo doesn't seem to have any interest in Mo Chuan at all.
I remembered that when I met my best friend a few days ago, that guy was still complaining about how Mo Chuan ruthlessly refused to date him in high school.
Yun Jin thought that maybe he would see this young master looking miserable in the future.
On the other side, Li Nuo walked to the front of the car and watched Mo Chuan open the passenger door for him. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was okay yesterday, but it was still like this today.
"Do you treat everyone around you like this?" Li Nuo asked curiously in the car.
Careful and gentle, no wonder people around her keep...
Taking advantage of the red light, Mo Chuan stopped the car, turned his head to meet Li Nuo's subtle eyes, opened his mouth, and said helplessly: "I have said it before, the only person I admit to dating was when I was in college."
"You look like you have a lot of experience." Li Nuo said casually while playing with his phone.
Mo Chuan was silent for a while. After a while, when the green light came on and the car started, he finally said with difficulty: "I have never hugged anyone."
Although the sound was a little quiet, Linuo could still hear it clearly.
He looked at Mo Chuan in astonishment. The word "hug" he said probably had that meaning.
Wait, that's not the point.
The point is, Mo Chuan is already over 30 years old, and there are so many men and women around him, yet he has never had this happen?
Linuo couldn't help but glance at his lower body.
Noticing his gaze, Mo Chuan opened the gap, stretched out his right hand and hit him hard on the head.
"I'm in good health," he said in a deep voice, then jokingly, "or else you can come and experience it yourself."
Li Nuo turned his head and snorted, "Forget it, I'm not interested."
"But I heard that if you are still a virgin at the age of 30, you will become a magician," he asked Mo Chuan with a smile, "Are you? A magician?"
Mo Chuan said unhappily: "If I am like that, then Qin Xu must be like that too."
"Pfft," Li Nuo laughed out loud all of a sudden, "Hahaha, what a sentence that reveals someone's shortcomings. But, I'm not surprised by what Director Qin said."
"Huh, am I the one who's surprised?" Mo Chuan was a little unconvinced.
Li Nuo looked at him in surprise, "What else? Even if I tell anyone, they will be surprised."
Mo Chuan was furious for a moment.
Li Nuo looked at him carefully and found that the tips of Mo Chuan's ears were slightly red. It seemed that he was a little embarrassed to say these words.
This is really unexpected. He looks like a playboy, but he is surprisingly innocent.
This is not mentioned in the novel.
Yes, although the original novel was marked as adult, the part that Li Nuo read did not contain any content in this regard.
Only after meeting him in person did I understand what was going on.
"Is this what they mean by 'don't judge a book by its cover'?" Li Nuo muttered to himself with his head down.
".......I am very happy that you can get to know me again, if only it weren't for this aspect." Mo Chuan sighed.
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Li Nuo's home.
He got out of the car holding the flowers.
Looking at the person standing outside the car, his dazzling white appearance, Mo Chuan's expression softened, "I will come to see you in a few days."
Li Nuo frowned, "You really don't have to work? Is your position so idle?"
"Well, because I have a great secretary."
Li Nuo shook his head, "I really sympathize with that secretary."
Mo Chuan waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving now. You should have a good rest."
After watching his car go away, Li Nuo turned around and went back home.
