Chapter 538 Wen Song's Sweet Daily Life (1)
Wen Jingxi hasn't told the Wen family about Song Lanyin's early return yet.
Although Song Lanyin left voluntarily, Old Master Wen exerted a lot of pressure on her.
Although Wen Jingxi knew that Grandpa Wen's original intention was good, he still felt aggrieved for Song Lanyin.
The next day, Song Lanyin suggested visiting Old Master Wen, but Wen Jingxi said there was no rush.
"They are elders, after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to come back without saying hello?"
"Didn't you agree with him to two years?" Wen Jingxi sneered. "The time hasn't come yet, let him keep enduring it."
Song Lanyin: "..."
"Let's go check out your martial arts school today."
Hearing him say that, Song Lanyin stopped talking.
She left suddenly a year ago, leaving the martial arts school to Wen Jingxi.
Tang Wei was left with Little Moon, and Wen Jingxi and Song Lanyin went out after breakfast.
Upon arriving at the studio building, the two got out of the car. Song Lanyin glanced at the coffee shop and suddenly said, "I'd like to have a coffee."
Wen Jingxi said, "This coffee shop changed owners a year ago, a young couple. They're nice people, but the coffee is just so-so, and business doesn't seem as good as before. Why don't you try a different place?"
Song Lanyin smiled and said, "No need, this place is fine."
"Okay, let's go together."
The two went into a coffee shop.
Song Lanyin walked to the order counter and said, "Give me an iced Americano."
“Okay, would you like it fresh or…” The proprietress, Su Xi, looked up and met Song Lanyin’s smiling eyes, and was stunned.
"Su Xi, it's been a long time."
"Sister Lanyin!" Su Xi exclaimed in surprise, "When did you return to Beicheng?"
"It just arrived yesterday."
"So, have you resolved everything?" Su Xi asked impatiently. "Are you leaving again this time?"
“It’s resolved,” Song Lanyin said with a smile, patiently answering her question. “I won’t be leaving anymore.”
"That's great!" Su Xi was overjoyed. "Old K is inside. I'll go in and call him."
As Su Xi spoke, she turned and went inside, calling out to Old K.
Wen Jingxi looked at Song Lanyin and asked, "You two know each other?"
"Sorry I didn't tell you before, they are partners I met when I was working alone. They are very nice people. I left in a hurry and was afraid that if the other party was targeting you indiscriminately, I called Su Xi and Lao K over to help me first."
"So, they opened this coffee shop specifically to secretly protect me for you?"
"You could say that."
It took Wen Jingxi a while to process what he had just learned before he raised his hand and gave Song Lanyin a thumbs-up, "You guys are amazing!"
“Even if we change careers, we won’t starve to death, because we learned all sorts of identities and skills to complete our missions, and we became proficient in whatever we did.”
Wen Jingxi blinked. "Hearing you say that, I'm starting to admire you guys a little."
Song Lanyin smiled faintly, "Actually, for us, it's just a basic survival skill."
"Now that you're back, are the two of them going to leave?"
Song Lanyin shrugged. "Anyway, I paid them another sum of money at the market rate. Now that I'm back, their mission is over. What they do next is up to them."
“We think Beicheng is pretty good too.” Old K and Su Xi came out of the kitchen, looked at Song Lanyin, and smiled, “Long time no see, Sister Song.”
“Old K, long time no see.” Song Lanyin glanced at Old K. “You look quite like a coffee shop owner now, and you’ve shaved your beard.”
Old K scratched the back of his head. "Su Xi said I looked like a homeless person, which would affect the customers' perception, so I shaved off my beard."
This man used to pay the least attention to his personal image. Actually, he was quite good-looking, tall and strong with a muscular physique that exuded masculine charm. However, he just liked to grow a beard, which he always had. He looked nothing like a handsome man.
Now that he's shaved his beard, his whole face is fully exposed, his features are well-proportioned, his skin is tanned, and he looks much more energetic.
Su Xi smiled and said, "We've discussed it and decided to settle down in Beicheng. This coffee shop doesn't make much money, but it's not losing money either. We also bought a second-hand apartment in the Dolphin Bay community on the next street, and we're renovating it now. Once the renovation is finished, we'll hold a housewarming party to officially settle down in Beicheng!"
Hearing their arrangements, Song Lanyin was also very happy for them.
“That’s great. I’ll cover the cost of all the appliances for your new home.”
"How can we do that?" Su Xi hurriedly said, "We can't take advantage of Sister Lan Yin for nothing."
"How could it be Bai Zhan? Every time you help me complete my mission, you help me without hesitation as soon as I ask. As for me, it seems that I have nothing to offer you except money."
Su Xi frowned, still feeling uneasy. "But Sister Lan Yin always paid us for every mission we went on..."
"How about this then? From now on, you can provide coffee for my husband and me for free, okay?"
Su Xi: "...How can coffee be compared to home appliances?"
"It's settled then." Song Lanyin took the two cups of coffee that Old K had made, smiled at Su Xi, and said, "We'll stop talking for now and go upstairs. When my martial arts gym opens, you can consider working part-time there."
Su Xi smiled and said, "No problem!"
"Let's go upstairs." Song Lanyin handed one of the coffee cups to Wen Jingxi.
Wen Jingxi took the coffee and nodded slightly to Lao K and Su Xi, "Thank you."
"Brother-in-law, you're welcome!" Su Xi said with a smile. "Come over for coffee often!"
...
As they left the coffee shop, Wen Jingxi held Song Lanyin's hand, their fingers intertwined as before.
Song Lanyin looked up at him, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
"Do I?" Wen Jingxi cleared his throat and frowned, feigning seriousness.
"Your lips are always smirking." Song Lanyin looked at him, her own lips unconsciously curving upwards. "Tell me, what's making our Teacher Wen so happy?"
Wen Jingxi put his arm around her shoulder, and the two walked into the elevator.
The elevator doors closed.
After pressing the floor button, Wen Jingxi looked down at Song Lanyin.
"I just think fate is a strange thing."
Song Lanyin raised an eyebrow, "Why is Teacher Wen suddenly so sentimental?"
“I used to think that our worlds were very different, and I even thought that we would never have a deep intersection in our lives.” Wen Jingxi looked at her with a serious expression. “But now I realize that this world needs people like you. Many things in this world cannot be defined or measured by right or wrong, because human nature is complex.”
"So, I want to tell you now." Wen Jingxi looked into Song Lanyin's eyes, his voice low and firm: "I am very grateful to have met you. Your appearance made me realize what true love is, and also made me understand the true meaning of life. Ayin, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."
Song Lanyin stared blankly at Wen Jingxi.
After a long while, she blinked, and the moment the radio door opened, she smiled, "Teacher Wen, it's been a year, and your sweet talk has reached a whole new level."
Wen Jingxi instantly exploded: "I'm serious! Do you even know anything about romance?!"
"Okay, okay, I know you're serious," Song Lanyin said with a smile. "But don't flatter me so much, or I'll feel pressured."
"What pressure do you want!" Wen Jingxi domineeringly wrapped his arms around her waist, looking into her eyes. "With me, you don't have to worry about anything. You can do whatever you want. You don't need to compromise yourself to please or agree with my family... Oh, no, there's one more thing you need to do!"
Song Lanyin asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Work hard and try to give me a daughter within three years!"
Song Lanyin: "..."
