Splash—
The coffee was thrown on the ground. The man looked up, meeting the boy's gaze with disgust: "Lu You, are you done yet? I've already told you we're over, why are you still following me?"
The boy lowered his eyes, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, struggling to organize his thoughts.
However, due to the torment of aphasia, even after biting his lower lip until it bled, he still couldn't utter a single word.
Across from him, the man continued to yell, "Lu You, don't flatter yourself. I made it very clear to you when we broke up that I only went to your house to take care of you for money. I have no interest in a man."
"In the six months we've been together, have you ever seen me touch you? I haven't even held your hand, have I? Do you know why?"
"Because when I see you, I feel... disgusted! Absolutely disgusted!"
The man continued his rambling, speaking without a hint of guilt: "But I've already got your money; you gave it to me willingly, you know~"
"If you're penniless, what's left to attract me? Let me tell you, my new girlfriend is coming soon. Don't let her see you crying and behaving like a coward. Get out!"
The last "get lost" was said rather loudly, causing Lu You to instinctively shiver. His lips parted slightly as he stammered, "Actually... I'm... the coffee here..."
"Lu You, what are you doing here?" A waitress walked over from a short distance away, put her hand on his shoulder, and pushed him back to the high table. "The customer at table number three wants a cappuccino. Ignore the mad dog that's biting people and get back to work."
After saying that, he went on to greet the new guests.
It was a relief that wasn't exactly a solution, but it made Lu You breathe a huge sigh of relief.
He's right, men... you can't like men, it's disgusting.
I can't even speak a complete sentence properly, how can I be worthy of provoking him again?
It's all Dad's fault. He took such good care of him all these years. After Dad passed away, he can hardly even cook for himself anymore.
That's why they found Xu Ning to work as a part-time housekeeper.
Originally, Xu Ning treated him extremely well, taking care of everything, including what he ate and what he wore, and even staying up late every night to research recipes for him.
When Xu Ning told him he liked him, it was the first time he had ever received a confession from someone. That day, he was both excited and nervous, and he could barely sleep.
But later, he found that he was becoming less and less worthy of Xu Ning.
Besides Xu Ning, there would be no other person in the world who treated him so well.
Clang—
Lu You only realized what was happening when the coffee cup in front of him broke and cut his hand.
Having been constantly disliked and scolded by Xu Ning, he was terrified of making even the slightest mistake. He dared not speak up even when he was injured, and hurriedly threw his coffee cup into the trash can to find a band-aid.
After searching through all the cabinets, he couldn't find anything to stop the bleeding. In the end, he had no choice but to give up and stared blankly at his mutilated finger.
He was broke and had to find work, never expecting to meet Xu Ning here.
The guests at table number three want coffee too, what should we do...?
Just as he was at a loss, his hand was grasped by another hand, which first took out an alcohol wipe and disinfected it for him.
After wiping away the blood around him, I slowly put a band-aid on him. It had a cute bunny print on it.
It's been so long... I haven't been treated so gently.
Lu You looked up and met the man's bright smiling face: "I'm a guest at table number three."
Lu You immediately realized what was happening and nervously withdrew his hand: "I...I'll just..."
"No, thank you. I don't want coffee anymore."
Lu You: ...
"I'm sorry, I..."
"If you really feel sorry, come out and do something with me."
Lu You was skeptical and dared not move.
The man added, "I promise I won't leave this coffee shop."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand to him and said gently, "I'll take your hand and bring you here."
At that moment, he stood against the light, the light shining in from behind, and Lu You felt as if he had seen an angel.
