Chapter 64 The Coffee He Gave Me? (Male Lead Included)
After finishing their meal, Gu Yin and the others returned to Boss Xia's warehouse.
A truck was parked outside the warehouse, and the store's employees were unloading goods.
Boss Xia went over and took a look, then nodded: "This is your goods."
After everyone unloaded the goods, they worked until dawn to finish inspecting them all.
They had initially thought that with more people coming, they could take the things back together, but when they saw the twenty bags of goods, everyone fell silent.
Seeing their reaction, Boss Xia laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have a truck here that you can rent. However, you'll have to pay for the round trip, which will cost two thousand yuan in total. If you're willing, I can call one for you, and you can pay for it yourself later. How about that?"
Gu Qinglang gritted his teeth: "Fine, then we'll take six more packs of radios and two more packs of tape recorders!"
Gu Yin also asked him to help her get two phones so she could show them to those people back home; maybe that would be another source of income in the future.
Seeing his straightforwardness, Boss Xia was also pleased. He called over a small truck, and after everyone loaded the goods onto it, it was already past nine o'clock. Gu Qinglang went to the bank to transfer the payment for the previous goods to him. This time, he could pay for the goods next time.
“The truck can only seat three people. My brother and I will go back in the truck. You can decide for yourselves whether to take the train or the bus.” Gu Qinglang went to look at the truck’s cab and then looked back at everyone.
The reason he and Gu Qingming sat together was because they were worried that if anything happened on the road, at least they would have someone to rely on.
Whether they took the train or the bus, they wouldn't arrive back until after 9 p.m. at this time. Gu Yin had no choice but to call Xiao Shiyi, who said it was no problem and she was willing to wait for them. So the group decided to take the bus back directly.
Seeing this, Gu Qinglang and Gu Qingming went back with the truck.
After everyone left, Gu Yin looked at Boss Xia and asked, "Uncle Xia, would you like to go have breakfast together?"
Boss Xia waved his hand: "You guys go ahead, I'm not going. I'm too tired, I can't go on anymore, I'm going back to get some sleep first!"
Seeing this, Gu Yin and the others stopped insisting and left the warehouse, walking to the square of the electronics street.
The group originally planned to take a taxi directly to the station, but while waiting for the train, Gu Shu's stomach kept rumbling. Gu Yin looked around and pointed to the cake shop next to the hotel: "Let's go there and buy some food, and then we can leave."
Gu Shu nodded hurriedly. He had been busy all night and was now exhausted, hungry, and sleepy! The sound of food made his stomach rumble even louder.
Li Mengxin nodded in agreement: "There's no rush, let's go buy some food first."
The group walked to the cake shop, where there was a long queue. Seeing this, Gu Yin was too lazy to go in and sat down on a chair outside: "I won't go in. Brother, just get me a can of milk and a bread."
Li Xiang and Li Mengxin were curious. The interior was beautifully decorated and looked very appealing, so they wanted to go in and take a look. They asked Gu Yin to wait outside.
After everyone went inside, Gu Yin sat in the armchair, looked at the hanging sun, and slowly closed her eyes.
Chu Yan had just come out of the coffee shop when he saw the person from last night curled up in the chair next to him, half of his face buried in his coat hood. Whether it was because of the sun or because he was asleep, his face was fair with a rosy glow, looking soft and sweet, making one want to reach out and pinch it.
When Chu Yan saw the blue under her eyes, he paused as he went down the steps, then turned around and went back into the coffee shop. When he came out again, he had a cup of freshly ground coffee in his hand.
Walking up to the girl and seeing that she was fast asleep, Chu Yan didn't say anything. He bent down and gently placed the coffee on the table in front of her, then got up and left as if nothing had happened, heading towards the hotel not far away.
"Wake up, Ayin, wake up." Gu Shu came out and saw that Gu Yin was asleep. He put the things on the table and shook her.
Gu Yin looked up and saw Gu Shu. She sat up straight and asked, "Have you bought it?"
Gu Shu nodded: "Eat quickly, and we'll leave after we finish."
Gu Yin nodded, then her eyes lit up when she saw the coffee on the table. She picked up the straw, inserted it, and took a deep sip: "Why did you buy coffee?!"
Gu Shu's eyes widened in surprise: "I didn't buy it, didn't you buy it?"
Gu Yin, who had just swallowed a big gulp of coffee, quickly put it down: "You didn't buy it? Then who put it in front of me?! I just, I just took a big gulp!" Her face turned pale as she recalled the news she had seen in her past life—things like date rape drugs, sulfuric acid, and unknown drugs. The more she thought about it, the paler she became, and she hurriedly started gagging.
Gu Shu also became anxious and got up to buy a bottle of water: "Quickly drink the water and spit it out! Hurry!"
001 couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly, "Alright, stop deducting. There's nothing wrong with this coffee. It's new. Someone put it in front of you. Someone you know. As for who it is, I can't tell you right now."
Gu Yin paused: "An acquaintance? Who?"
001 fell silent.
Gu Yin looked around but didn't see anyone she recognized. She asked 001 again, but it remained silent.
When Gu Shu saw Gu Yin stop, he thought something was wrong and his voice choked with emotion: "Where do you feel unwell? We need to go to the hospital right away! I'll go call a car! Wait for me here!" After saying that, he got up and was about to run away.
Gu Yin quickly stopped him: "I'm fine. I suddenly remembered that I vaguely saw the waitress from the coffee shop next door ask me if I wanted coffee. I remember I nodded and paid. She must have brought it over. I was just half asleep."
Gu Shu blinked: "Are you really alright?!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's nothing, it's my fault, I stayed up all night and got all confused."
Gu Shu looked her over carefully and, finding that she really wasn't feeling unwell, breathed a sigh of relief and sat down to take a big bite of bread: "You really scared me to death!"
Gu Yin hurriedly opened the milk and handed it to him, saying, "My fault, my fault!"
When Li Xiang and Li Mengxin came out, they had both returned to normal.
When she finished eating and was leaving, for some reason, Gu Yin picked up the coffee on the table and took it with her.
While waiting for a car by the roadside, Gu Yin sipped her coffee and glanced back at the coffee shop. Seeing that there weren't many people around, she turned back and looked at the traffic on the road in front of her. Gu Yin blinked and immediately turned her head to look at the hotel next to the coffee shop. Looking into the distance, the boy who had been standing there had turned his back to make a phone call, and she could only see his tall, slender back.
Gu Yin took two steps forward when her hand was grabbed: "Where are you going? The car is here, get in quickly!" Gu Shu said and shoved her into the taxi.
Gu Yin had no choice but to get into the car. After settling in, she rolled down the window and looked at the hotel in the distance. The man had turned around and seemed to be looking this way, but he was too far away to see his face clearly. After thinking for a moment, Gu Yin raised the coffee in her hand and shook it.
001 in the space was speechless for a moment: "Who did you see?"
Gu Yin took a deep sip of coffee: "I didn't see it clearly."
001 didn't believe it: "Then why are you waving? And why do you dare to drink coffee?"
Gu Yin looked out the window and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you said the coffee was fine, and it was put there by someone I know. I was feeling sleepy anyway, so I drank it. As for waving, just tell me directly that the guy who gave me the coffee was him. As for who he is, I'll find out someday. I'm not in a hurry."
001 fell silent and went into seclusion.
At the hotel entrance, Chu Yan watched the departing car and, recalling the way that person had waved, couldn't help but laugh: "Your intuition is pretty accurate."
"What do you mean 'accurate'? What are you laughing at?" Chu Xiong's voice rang out from the side.
Chu Yan's smile faded, and he coughed lightly, saying, "It's nothing, let's go."
Chu Xiong shook his head, finding it utterly baffling.
