Chapter 5 Is he a college teacher?
"We want it too!"
"Yes, yes, we don't have this treatment."
Wen Zhihan felt much better in this atmosphere. She shrugged nonchalantly and said, "You guys make coffee every day, why don't you drink it?"
"No coffee, boss, you're biased."
Wen Zhixian laughed out loud, "Got it, I'll buy you afternoon tea this afternoon."
"Thank you, boss."
Hearing them praising themselves in various ways, Wen Zhihan felt very happy, "I'll get busy now."
She was already very grateful to Mr. Qi just for giving her the key and chatting with her last night, so she would be happy to buy her a few cups of coffee.
After chatting with them, I went to the warehouse to sort out the goods that had just been delivered.
At 8 o'clock, Qi Yanjing arrived at the store on time. After placing his order and showing his payment code, the clerk smiled and said, "Our boss will treat you to coffee today."
boss?
Qi Yanjing subconsciously glanced sideways at the table where Miss Wen had sat yesterday. It turned out that she was the owner of the store.
Another clerk who was making coffee next to me came over and said with a smile, "Your looks are recognized by our boss."
Qi Yanjing still showed the payment code in front of him, "Thank you for your boss's kindness. I appreciate it. This is what I should pay for."
"Next time, when our boss is here, you can talk to our boss." They all listen to their boss.
Qi Yanjing sighed helplessly in his heart. Is this the hush money for what happened last night?
I owed her another cup of coffee.
Holding the coffee, he walked to the table where Miss Wen sat yesterday and sat there for about five minutes, as if he was waiting for her. However, no one showed up and he left after a while.
Wen Zhixian was busy in the warehouse at the back until ten o'clock, and only returned to the front when he felt a little tired.
One of the shop assistants said, "That 188-foot handsome guy sat in the shop for a few minutes this morning, for the first time ever, and he sat in that seat."
The clerk pointed to the corner and said with a chuckle, "Boss, is she waiting for you?"
Wen Zhihan looked in the direction she pointed. It was the seat where she sat yesterday morning. She curled her lips but said nothing, as if she was just joking.
She took a few sips of water from the cup. The garbage collector outside the door emptied all the garbage in the trash can. She remembered that Gu Yuchen threw the ring into the trash can yesterday.
The ring was thrown away. Last night, she was thinking that if Gu Yuchen really picked up the ring back in the middle of the night, would the entanglement last longer? However, Gu Yuchen would not do such a thing. This time they quarreled and mentioned his ex. He felt wronged and was waiting for her to apologize.
She laughed and said, "He's just a man. Just give up. Mr. Qi was right. Love is not everything."
-
Wen Zhixian has been busy in the store for the past few days. Although she is a little tired, she feels fulfilled. Occasionally, she would think of some things about Gu Yuchen, but he has not appeared in front of her these days, as if he had evaporated. Her heart has begun to calm down.
It was much better than she had imagined. When she was dating him before, she even thought that she couldn't live without him, but now she thought that was not the case.
At 8:40, the cafe was empty. She turned off the lights and prepared to go home early. Just as she was about to lock the door, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Are you off work?"
She turned and looked at the man standing behind her, "Mr. Qi, good evening."
Qi Yanjing replied: "Good evening, Miss Wen."
He raised his hand and handed the cake to her.
She looked puzzled: "What is this?"
"I offered you money but you refused to take it, so I thought of buying you a cake." He knew that Miss Wen was thanking him for his kindness in a chance meeting, but he felt embarrassed to keep doing this.
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qi. Now that we are clear, I will make money from you next time."
"good."
After Wen Zhixian took the cake, he suddenly wanted to take back what he said. What was he talking about? This black swan cake was enough to buy him ten drinks...
So she decided to divide the cake now.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" she asked.
Qi Yanjing did not refuse and said politely, "Thank you for the trouble."
She turned on the light, opened the express box in her hand, brewed two cups of scented tea that had just arrived today, and handed them to Qi Yanjing.
"Thank you."
Wen Zhixian opened the cake box, she didn't know where to start with this swan.
Qi Yanjing saw her gesturing on the swan and said, "Let me do it."
He took the knife from her hand, cut it quickly and put it on the plate.
As he was cutting the cake, Wen Zhixian asked, "Did you just get off work?"
"No, I don't have classes this afternoon."
Wen Zhixian scooped a spoonful of cake into his mouth, and looked up at him when he heard this: "Did you come here specially to deliver the cake?"
Qi Yanjing pursed his lips, feeling very conflicted. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was indeed true. He nodded after a few seconds.
"I would feel bad if I didn't send you something."
She apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you felt that way."
Qi Yanjing quickly said, "No need to apologize. I ate your cake that day, so it's only right for me to give you one back."
Wen Zhixian pursed his lips slightly and changed the subject, "Mr. Qi, are you a teacher?"
He replied, "Yes, university teacher."
She nodded. "No wonder you give me a familiar feeling."
Qi Yanjing looked at her, and she immediately explained, "My father is also a university teacher. At first glance, he gives people a serious temperament, but in fact, my father is quite kind, and you are also quite gentle."
It looks cold.
As she was talking, she finished the cake on the plate. She was a little tired and couldn't drink another sip of the tea.
Qi Yanjing was still thinking about her impression of him and didn't even take a bite of the cake in front of him.
Wen Zhixian lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hands, and yawned. Qi Yanjing saw this and said, "I'll clean up the table."
After cleaning up the remaining cake, I gave it to her to take back.
She got in the car, rolled down the window and waved to Qi Yanjing who was walking across the street: "Goodbye, Mr. Qi."
Qi Yanjing replied to her with "Goodbye".
Overall today was pretty good. It would have been even better if I hadn’t run into Gu Yuchen outside the community gate at night.
She had just turned on the turn signal and was about to drive into the community when Gu Yuchen appeared in front of her car and she stepped on the brakes.
"Idle."
She took a deep breath, pulled the car over, opened the door and got out.
The two of them stood on the side of the road. Gu Yuchen was relieved to see that she was so calm today and not as irritable as last time. Maybe she had calmed down.
"Why did you come back so late?" Gu Yuchen said in a calm tone, not at all like he was in an argument or conflict.
For a moment she felt like she had gone back to the past.
But she couldn't just pretend nothing had happened.
"Just got off work."
Gu Yuchen reached out to hold her hand, but she dodged. He felt distant from her, but he just thought she was being sulky and didn't take it seriously.
