"Senior...senior, eat by yourself. Call me if you need anything! I have something else to do, so I'll go get busy first!" Luo Qingxuan, who was already completely lost in the thought of "Madam, please give me more candies", found an excuse and ran away at the speed of light in order to prevent Xia Ruoming from seeing her blushing face. She didn't even give Xia Ruoming a chance to say anything like "Okay, junior, go get busy".
With a flushed face, Luo Qingxuan ran directly into the staff lounge and buried her head in the stuffed toy.
Only Chu Suhe was left with a confused look on her face, frantically dealing with the affairs of the cafe.
"Xia Ruoming!!!"
Jiang Ruhua's voice came from the stairs. Seeing Jiang Ruhua sitting next to her, Xia Ruoming was so scared that she almost threw the coffee in her hand away.
Ye Han seemed not to have seen Jiang Ruhua. He still elegantly picked up the cake and put it to Xia Ruoming's mouth.
"Ruoming, don't call me Miss Ye Er from now on. I don't like you calling me that." After glancing at Jiang Ruhua, Ye Han leaned directly on Xia Ruoming's shoulder and said in a flirtatious manner.
"Uh...what do you want me to call you?" Xia Ruoming asked puzzledly.
"Just call me Hanhan~ What do you think~ I haven't even called Ruoming your boss, Ruoming, you should agree to me." As Ye Han said this, he secretly glanced at Jiang Ruhua who had a gloomy face beside him.
"Hey Ye Han, we see each other quite often, how come we've never seen you be so disgusting?" Jiang Ruhua asked with a sullen look on her face, "And Hanhan, I'm about to vomit just by hearing this."
Ye Han tilted his head, stared into Jiang Ruhua's eyes and said slowly: "Ruhua, what are you talking about? Don't you call me that too? Why don't you call me that today?"
Jiang Ruhua: “…”
"Little princess, this store is run by my junior. Would you like something to drink? It's definitely as good as when we were in Chengdu." Seeing Jiang Ruhua, who was so angry at Ye Han that she couldn't speak, Xia Ruoming stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.
Xia Ruoming glanced at the two people who started bickering, revealing a puzzled expression. It seemed that these two people had never been at odds with each other in their previous lives. Why did they start bickering for no reason? And Ye Han's smug smile, you are the famous and crazy Miss Ye Er, can you stop being like a child!
"Ruoming, just recommend one." Perhaps because she was irritated by Ye Han again, Jiang Ruhua seemed a little depressed.
"Then let the little princess have a taste of my specialty."
Xia Ruoming stood up as she spoke, walked behind the bar and picked up an empty coffee cup.
One third of Italian coffee bean espresso, one third of steamed milk, one third of foamed milk, and finally a little bit of cinnamon powder.
Like magic, the little princess' favorite cappuccino was already placed in front of her.
"How is it, little princess? Except for the lack of icing, the cappuccino here is absolutely top-notch. Both the coffee beans and the coffee machine are the result of my careful selection." Xia Ruoming pushed the prepared coffee in front of Jiang Ruhua, "Try it. It is definitely worthy of your status as a little princess."
Jiang Ruhua squinted her eyes and took a sip. The milky aroma of the wet cappuccino overwhelmed the strong taste of the coffee. It was perfect for Jiang Ruhua, who had a light taste. She, who usually seldom smiled, finally smiled.
"Little princess, how is my cooking skill? Is it considered rude to you?" Xia Ruoming said with a smile, looking at Jiang Ruhua's expression.
"Of course, Ruomeng's cooking skills are definitely not bad." Ye Han said, picking up the small fork again and continuing to "feed" Xia Ruomeng, "Don't you think so, Ruhua? Oh, no, what did Ruomeng call you, little princess~?"
"Tsk... just normal." Jiang Ruhua glared at Ye Han, but couldn't think of any particularly good way to fight back. "If you call me that again, I'll call you a crazy woman."
"Call me, call me~ I've been called that for so many years, so a little while longer won't make a difference, don't you think~ Little Princess~" Ye Han continued to speak in a mean manner, making Jiang Ruhua so angry that she was speechless.
Xia Ruoming was about to turn her gaze to Jiang Ruhua, but found that although Jiang Ruhua was talking to Ye Han, her gaze was always focused on her. That deep gaze seemed to be filled with all kinds of complex emotions. It was the first time that Xia Ruoming saw Jiang Ruhua with such a look.
"What's wrong, little princess?" Looking at the little princess who seemed a little abnormal, Xia Ruoming asked puzzledly.
Jiang Ruhua did not move her gaze away, but stared straight at Xia Rumeng. However, she just kept staring at her and had no intention of speaking. Even Ye Han was attracted by this inexplicably silent atmosphere and looked at Jiang Ruhua curiously.
After a long time, Jiang Ruhua slowly spoke: "Xia Ruoming, have we met... a long time ago?"
Jiang Ruhua really wanted to know if she was the only one who saw those things. Xia Ruoming was also the protagonist in the story. Could it be that she also knew these things?
Xia Ruoming was suddenly stunned. She didn't understand what Jiang Ruhua was saying, nor did she understand why Jiang Ruhua asked such a question. She and the little princess had indeed met before, but that was in her previous life. She and the little princess really had no interaction in this life.
"Huh? Didn't we meet in high school? Have you forgotten, little princess?" Xia Ruoming, who didn't understand Jiang Ruhua's intention, decisively did what she liked to do most - play dumb.
"No... that's not what I meant. What I meant was, have we met earlier? In other words, have we known each other for a long time..." Jiang Ruhua continued to stare at Xia Rumeng, trying to find some changes in her expression, and this time, she really noticed something strange.
There was indeed a hint of unnaturalness in Xia Ruoming's expression, and her eyes seemed to be hiding something.
Although her expression changed only slightly, Xia Ruoming's heart was already in turmoil. She clearly remembered that in her previous life before college, she and Jiang Ruhua had never had any intersection. They had no story, and it was impossible for anything to make Jiang Ruhua have the illusion that "have we met before?"
The fact that Jiang Ruhua could ask such a question could only mean one thing, that she knew something about her past life. Xia Ruoming didn't know how much Jiang Ruhua knew, but since she asked such a question, maybe it was just a vague memory and she didn't know the details.
It's that feeling that the person in front of you has always existed in your memory, but you can't remember where you have seen him or her.
