Chapter 4 A Chance Encounter with Mr. Qi

She couldn't lose her mind because of Gu Yuchen anymore.

"A cup of mocha."

Wen Zhihan wiped her tears, crumpled up the tissue, and shook her head at the man in front of her: "No."

She pulled out two cartons of instant coffee from the drawer and said, "There are two cartons left. I'll make some for you if you want."

The man looked at the instant coffee bar in her hand, "..."

…

Wen Zhixian made him some instant coffee, took out a piece of cake that she was going to take back, and gave him half.

"Why are you still outside so late?" She breathed a sigh of relief and tried to talk about something to forget what had just happened with Gu Yuchen.

"I just got off work and I'm a little tired. I wanted to try my luck and see if your place is closed." He paused, "I really like the coffee in your shop."

Coffee was praised, she smiled and said, "Thank you for liking it."

She changed the subject: "I haven't even asked you your last name yet."

"Qi."

Wen Zhixian wrote a word on the table with his finger: "Qi?"

Qi Yanjing wrote again on the table with his index finger: "Qi."

"Mr. Qi." After asking his last name, she also said her own last name: "My last name is Wen, which means temperature."

"Miss Wen."

Wen Zhixian asked again: "Do you often come here at this time at night?"

"I was delayed by some temporary work today." He took a sip of instant coffee and frowned slightly.

Wen Zhixian touched his neck, wondering if he found the instant coffee unpalatable.

Qi Yanjing raised his eyes and glanced at the woman sitting opposite him. His eyes were slightly red, and he looked as if he had been bullied by someone. When he closed his eyes and stopped smiling, it seemed as if they were about to break. The last time he saw her like that, he felt that strong sense of brokenness for the first time, and he inadvertently looked at her a few more times.

Seeing that he had finished his coffee, Wen Zhixian took the cup to rinse it, and when he came back, all the cake boxes on the table had been cleaned up by him.

Just as she was about to close the shop, Qi Yanjing suddenly asked, "How much do you charge?"

Wen Zhixian smiled and said, "It's just a cup of instant coffee, it's free."

"And cake." He ate half of her cake.

"Consider it my treat." Seeing Qi Yanjing's unhappy expression, she said solemnly, "I really appreciate you giving me the key last time. I was in a very low mood that day, and you made me feel the kindness from a chance encounter. It was the only thing worth being thankful for that day."

It was a chance encounter, but he felt that today was not just a chance encounter.

She closed the shop door, and Qi Yanjing threw the garbage into the trash can. He glanced at the blue velvet square box inside, but said nothing.

"Mr. Qi, why are you going back?" Wen Zhixian looked at Qi Yanjing and asked.

Qi Yanjing pressed the car key, and the lights of the Hongqi car opposite flashed twice. "The car is on the opposite side."

Wen Zhixian nodded and waved to Qi Yanjing: "Then please be careful on your way."

Before leaving, Qi Yanjing stood by the car door and said two words to her: "Don't lose yourself because of love. Love is not everything in life."

He didn't want to say it, and the other party wouldn't listen even if he said it, but he couldn't help but meddle in other people's business today.

After returning from the cafe, she took a shower, lay down on the bed tiredly, and took out her cell phone from her bag. Qin Zhaoli had sent her seven or eight messages and a missed call half an hour ago.

She lay on the bed and called Qin Zhaoli back.

"Zhixian, where are you?"

"I just got home, what's wrong?"

Qin Zhaoli asked, "Did Gu Yuchen go to apologize to you?"

"No." She thought of what happened tonight and rubbed her forehead. "He didn't come to apologize. He came to cause trouble for me. He said beating me was a small matter and that I was being unreasonable. He even threw away the ring. It's completely over."

Qin Zhaoli didn't expect Gu Yuchen to say such a thing. He is such a romantic man. He is usually not rational and is very impulsive about his ex. It is his fault that he broke up with Zhihan now.

"Are you okay then?"

She couldn't describe her emotions right now. She felt sad for having loved someone for so many years. She should have been sad, but Mr. Qi's arrival disrupted her sad thoughts. Although he saw her in a frenzy, he didn't say a word.

It turns out that when you are sad, you still need someone to chat with you to avoid having too many random thoughts.

"I'm fine. The harder he hurts me, the faster I'll wake up." Maybe after a few more times she'll be able to get used to it.

Qin Zhaoli on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "I knew you wouldn't change your decision."

After chatting for a few sentences, the two hung up the phone. After hanging up, Qin Zhaoli remembered that he had not asked her if her face was okay.

Wen Zhixian pressed his ears a few times, then remembered that he had not taken the medicine prescribed for today, so he immediately stood up and fetched a glass of warm water.

After taking the medicine, she held the glass and looked into the steaming water. She would slap back.

Hepburn Bar——

"Didn't you go and apologize? What? Zhihan didn't forgive you?" Song Kairui couldn't help laughing.

Gu Yuchen drank one cup after another. Song Kairui stopped him and said, "Don't just drink. Tell me what's going on. Make me happy."

Gu Yuchen ignored his sarcastic remarks and said bluntly: "I went to ask her why the ring was returned. As long as she said something soft like before, how could I be so angry that I said something I shouldn't have said, and she still told me to get out."

"You hit someone, and they still say soft words to you? I think you are used to being ignored. Not only did you not try to coax them back, but you also intensified the conflict." In fact, he also knew that Gu Yuchen was just saying it angrily, but he did hit them.

Wen Zhixian and Qin Zhaoli are the same kind of people who can play together, but one shows his emotions on his face and the other hides them in his heart. Anyway, they will be eliminated if they make a fool of themselves once, and this time Gu Yuchen made a good fool of himself.

"I thought she would calm down after a few days, and that we would be able to reconcile today and get married as planned. But now we have to postpone our plans."

Song Kairui laughed when he heard this, "Come on, her face was so swollen from the beating you gave her. Let alone getting married, it's good enough that we didn't break up."

"She won't. I know how much she likes me."

Song Kairui was really speechless. Sometimes he really couldn't stand Gu Yuchen. There was something about Gu Yuchen that he hadn't told Zhixian. It was not very important but very hurtful. If one day she didn't like Gu Yuchen anymore, he would tell her.

"Oh oh oh." Perfunctory.

-

Wen Zhihan arrived at the cafe at 7:40, hoping to make his life more fulfilling and avoid having random thoughts.

When she arrived at the store, one of the girls smiled at her and said, "Boss, was that handsome guy from yesterday good-looking?"

Another person also joked, "The boss even paid them. It shows his approval."

Wen Zhixian didn't explain, remembering that someone had said yesterday that Mr. Qi came to the store every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and today happened to be Thursday.

She leaned on the bar, "Since you guys said so, I'll buy him another cup of coffee today?"
