Chen Cheng and Yu Lan sat at the table drinking coffee and chatting intermittently. The atmosphere was not very lively, but the two seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
From the daily life of cat cafes to interesting supernatural powers, and then to the number of wild boar phantoms in Portugal, the number of kangaroo phantoms and fox phantoms in the Sheep Country...
While chatting, Yu Lan suddenly reached out and touched her long hair and asked:
"Chen Cheng, do you think... should I change my hairstyle?"
"What kind of hairstyle do you want?"
“I don’t know.”
Yu Lan shook her head, stared at Chen Cheng and said solemnly: "Chen Cheng, do you like long hair or short hair?"
"Well……"
Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment and replied, "Long hair."
Yu Lan nodded: "Okay, then I won't cut it."
Chen Cheng: “?”
Wait, that's a straight shot, right?
Or maybe... Yu Lan is really just referring to her own opinions?
After all, Yu Lan doesn't look like the type of person who would be willing to fall in love...
It doesn't seem quite right to say this. Liusu doesn't actually look like that kind of person, but in the end... well, now she and I are inseparable.
In fact, Yu Lan had asked Shi Yue the same question before.
Shi Yue was an experienced person, and she could tell at a glance who Yu Lan was changing for, so she told Yu Lan to ask Chen Cheng herself.
And then...it became what it is now.
Yu Lan regretted what she said. It seemed like she hadn't said anything, but it seemed like she had said everything. Her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She quickly buried her head in drinking coffee, trying not to let Shen Cheng notice her abnormality.
I should have been more tactful earlier...
The scene fell silent. Shen Cheng finished his coffee in a few sips, put the empty cup on the table, and stood up.
"I have to go now."
"...Well, be careful on the road."
After that, Shen Cheng turned and left.
After Chen Cheng's figure disappeared, Yu Lan put down the cup and grabbed her hair in distress.
Originally, after learning that Shen Cheng already had a girlfriend, Yu Lan had already put away her little thoughts and began to slowly distance herself from Shen Cheng.
But when Yu Lan found out about Chen Cheng and Liu Su, her little thoughts became active again.
Even more active than before.
If you have one, then of course you should stay away from it, but if you have two, then there will be no problem with a second and a third, right?
But when she took the initiative to try to get closer to Shen Cheng, Yu Lan found that there seemed to be something between her and Shen Cheng.
With this thing around, it becomes difficult for Yu Lan and Shen Cheng to get along naturally.
Yu Lan thinks she is very smart and learns things very quickly, whether in scientific research or in life.
But when it comes to feelings, Yu Lan finds that no matter how she tries, she is still confused.
There are too many variables in this thing, especially for someone as full of variables as Shen Cheng.
After lying on the table for a while, Yu Lan regained some energy, took out his cell phone, and decided to ask questions.
"Hey, Shi Yue, can you come to my office? I have something I want to ask you."
A few minutes later, Shi Yue came to Yu Lan's office carrying Li Xinyao.
"Auntie!"
Seeing Yu Lan, Li Xinyao called out in a baby voice, and ran towards Yu Lan with a smile on her face, her little tail wagging behind her.
Nearly another year has passed, and Li Xinyao has obviously grown a lot taller, and is already taller than Lingxue.
Hearing Li Xinyao calling her aunt, Yu Lan sighed, smiled bitterly and picked up Li Xinyao.
If Shen Cheng were here, he would be very happy, right?
Speaking of which, Shen Cheng's awakening of his lolita attribute should be closely related to Yaoyao.
Who wouldn’t like this blonde dog-eared little Loli?
"Li Ji recently started a new research project. He's like a possessed man, and he's made the lab his home again, so I'm the only one left to take care of Yaoyao."
Shi Yue sat next to Yu Lan. Although she said this, her face was full of happiness.
Yu Lan felt a little envious.
I didn’t think it was a big deal before, but now I’m envious from the bottom of my heart.
"Speaking of which, Yu Lan, what question do you want to ask me?"
Yu Lan did not treat Shi Yue as an outsider. After all, Shi Yue had seen through her long ago. After organizing her words, she told Shi Yue about herself and Shen Cheng.
"Is there a gap?"
Shi Yue pinched her chin and thought for a moment: "You and Liusu have known Chen Cheng for about the same time, right? You can think about it, what is the difference between you and Liusu?"
"What's the difference between me and Liusu?"
Yu Lan blinked. The difference was quite big.
Although both were from the Huanya clan and affiliated with the Institute of Biological Sciences, she was a researcher, while Liusu was a special agent. She spent her days cooped up in the Institute, while Liusu ran around everywhere. She was powerless, while Liusu was proficient in everything from spearmanship to combat...
"We need to pursue something more fundamental, such as the difference between you and Liusu in your relationship with Chen Cheng. Let me think about it..."
Shi Yue thought for a moment and gave an example: “For example, Liusu and Shen Cheng are colleagues, while you and Shen Cheng are more like a superior-subordinate relationship. Shen Cheng and Liusu live together, while you and Shen Cheng are eight hundred miles apart, so it’s difficult for you to see each other.”
I have to say that the two examples Shi Yue gave were very sharp.
The relationship between colleagues is already close, and since they live together, it is easy to fall in love with each other over time as long as you are willing.
Yu Lan frowned slightly and said:
"But... I'm not the vice president anymore, let alone the director. I'm just an ordinary researcher. I don't have much work right now. So Shen Cheng and I can be considered colleagues, right?"
"First impressions are very important. Maybe Shen Cheng has already established your boss's identity in his mind, and it's hard to change it."
Shi Yue began to give Yu Lan some advice: "How about this, I see that you have nothing to do at the Institute of Biological Sciences recently, why don't you talk to the higher-ups and move in with Chen Cheng?"
Yu Lan: “…”
Looking at Shi Yue with dead fish eyes, Yu Lan's expression seemed to be saying, are you kidding me?
Despite this, when Yu Lan heard Shi Yue's opinion, she couldn't help but feel moved.
Or... should I talk to the higher-ups later?
…
When Shen Cheng returned to the cat cafe, it was operating as normal.
After returning to the cat cafe and hugging Cheese who rushed over first, Shen Cheng turned his head and saw the resentful eyes of the guests.
That expression seemed to be saying: Why did you come back?
Scratching his head awkwardly, Shen Cheng came behind the counter and watched Xi Ming and Shuise Yao grind coffee.
"Mr. Shen, welcome back!"
Minase Haruka nodded to Chen Cheng while grinding coffee.
Shen Cheng smiled faintly and was about to say something when he suddenly felt someone tugging at his trouser leg.
He lowered his head and saw Mu Bing standing beside him, his tone seemed to be complaining:
"Feng went out without taking me with him."
