It was almost noon and passers-by on the street were hurrying under the sun.
Yun Ranran sat quietly at a window seat in the cafe, looking through the window at the street, the busy crowds coming and going, and the crossroads with flashing traffic lights.
She was wearing a light blue floral dress that reached down to her knees, revealing a small section of her slender, fair calves.
Her long, soft black hair casually draped over her shoulders, making her originally fair and delicate features appear even more calm and gentle, while the faint worry lingering between her eyebrows added a sense of fragility.
The breeze that blew in through the window occasionally lifted the hair by her ears, making it fly messily in the air.
This scene now looks like a landscape painting created by a masterful hand.
At this moment, the glass door of the coffee shop was pushed open.
"Sir, would you like something to drink?"
The clerk standing at the coffee bar heard the voice and enthusiastically asked the young customer who had just entered.
The handsome young customer raised his eyes slightly and glanced around the small coffee shop. After seeing Yun Ranran sitting quietly in the booth by the window, he raised his chin slightly and said:
"A caramel latte, an Americano, and a few desserts will be sent to the table by the window."
There was a hint of lazy laughter in the voice.
"Okay, sir, please sit inside first."
The clerk saw the place he was pointing to and guessed that he and Yun Ranran were the two young people together, so he immediately answered with a smile.
The coffee shop is small and quiet.
At this moment, apart from the two waiters standing behind the bar, Yun Ranran was the only customer sitting there.
Jiang Yan put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the window seat in a rather casual manner.
Boom! Boom!!
With each step, the soles of the shoes hit the wooden floor, making a slight sound.
When Yun Ranran heard the footsteps getting closer, she withdrew her gaze from the window and turned back slowly.
Then I saw Jiang Yan walking over.
He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants, his thin lips slightly curled in the sunlight, and he walked towards me with a casual and cold expression on his face, but his indifferent eyebrows and eyes seemed to contain a faint smile.
At this moment, it was as if the iceberg reflected the sunlight, with warmth reflected in the coldness, and there was a kind of dangerous and moving charm.
Yun Ranran was dazed when she saw it, and unconsciously recalled her time in school.
She had seen Jiang Yan like this several times by chance.
Most of them were on the basketball court, when Jiang Yan and his teammates won the game, and the expression on his face unconsciously appeared amid the cheers and applause.
In addition to happiness, there was also a bit of confidence and reserve.
Several emotions mixed together and appeared on Jiang Yan's usually cold and handsome face, which was as beautiful as a melting iceberg.
It always made her, who was timid at first, want to take a second look and pay more attention.
To the extent that, during that period of time, she followed Jiang Yan everywhere like a madman.
Thinking about it now, Yun Ranran realized that it had been a long time ago, so long that she could no longer understand the emotions she felt at that time.
She looked at Jiang Yan, her eyes flashed, and she lowered her expression, trying to be as calm as possible to reveal a restrained smile, and then spoke softly:
"Come on, sit down first. What would you like to drink?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Ranran, then pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her in a lazy manner.
Every move revealed a sense of carelessness and oppression.
"Don't you want to talk?" He leaned back in his chair, looked at her with his lips curled, and spoke directly.
Yun Ranran pursed her lips slightly and paused for a moment, then raised her eyes and smiled. Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were like a clear spring, clear and bright, and her expression was firm as she met Jiang Yan's gaze.
"Yeah." She tucked her hair aside her ear, smiled and nodded, then said calmly, "I want to ask if what we said on the rooftop last time still counts?"
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and chuckled. He tapped his slender fingers on the table casually a few times and said, "Of course what I said counts. What? Do you already have the answer in your mind now?"
"It counts."
Yun Ranran clasped her hands lightly on the table in front of her, her eyes wandering into the air.
"I think there are still some things I need to ask before making a decision."
"What's the matter, you said——"
Jiang Yan smiled patiently, showing a rare patience, and acted as if he was listening attentively.
"I……"
Just as Yun Ranran was about to speak, the waiter in the coffee shop came over with a wooden tray and gently placed the two cups of coffee on the tray on the table.
"Please enjoy your coffee, both of you!"
The clerk held the empty tray in his hand, smiled and spoke, then turned and left.
This action interrupted what Yun Ranran was about to say, and the conversation between the two had to stop temporarily.
Yun Ranran looked at the two cups of coffee on the table and then looked at Jiang Yan. She didn't order any coffee when she came in. Since the waiter said that it was ordered by their table, it could only be that Jiang Yan had just placed the order.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yan saw her looking at him, he raised his chin slightly with a smile on his face: "Let's drink and talk at the same time. Do you like it?"
As he said this, he took one of the cups and pushed the other one towards Yun Ranran.
Yun Ranran looked at the smiley face latte art pattern on the coffee cup in front of her, took it, whispered thank you, and then picked up the small spoon beside her and stirred it gently.
Seeing the smiley face latte art pattern on the surface of the coffee being stirred into a turbid state, she exhaled lightly and looked up and said, "Jiang Yan, you said you could help me, so what do you need me to do?"
Jiang Yan's lips curved, and he leaned back in his chair leisurely, looking at her. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I thought I had made it very clear before."
"There has to be a deadline and some details. If you just give me a rough outline, I can't really trust you. I'm even less sure if I can agree to it—"
