Zhou Sui didn't know if this Xu Yibai was the same person as the Xu Yibai she knew.
At the time, she had only heard the name occasionally on the radio and had never met the person in person.
At that time, she still thought the name Xu Yibai was very special.
Just now, Zhou Sui overheard the two teachers saying that the boy was from the literature department, and not only that, his articles had won many awards. Zhou Sui had a feeling that the two people were the same person.
If that's true, then her little shop is incredibly fortunate; she's really lucky to have stumbled upon this opportunity.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Sui grew increasingly eager for Xu Yibai's arrival.
Chen Zongyue upstairs suddenly became absent-minded. Xiaomin noticed that something was wrong with him and asked him with concern.
"Zongyue, is this milk tea not to your liking?"
She thought Chen Zongyue didn't like sweet drinks, so she said, "The store seems to have fruit tea. I'll go buy you another cup."
"No need, it's quite delicious." Chen Zongyue said, picking up the cup and taking a sip. The milk flavor was rich, the tea flavor was sweet, and the small, dark balls were chewy and delicious. He didn't know how they were made.
He was still thinking about Zhou Sui, whom he had just seen, and had forgotten why he had come to see Xiao Min today.
"You're saying these two shops are owned by the same person?"
“Yes.” Xiaomin nodded. “I don’t know where the boss went. I’ve run into her a few times before.”
“I even told my classmates that opening a shop on the back street is bound to fail sooner or later, but these two shops look different from the previous ones, so I guess they can stay open.”
"The rent is cheap here, so even if the business fails in the end, we won't lose much." Chen Zongyue had been in the city for a while and had some understanding of the property prices in the surrounding area.
Xiaomin wasn't very interested in the topic, so she just gave a few casual replies, and the two of them chatted on and off like that.
Finally, Chen Zongyue spoke up, "Xiaomin, I have something to do this afternoon, so I have to go back first. I'll ask you out for dinner another day."
Xiaomin pouted unhappily, clearly sensing that Chen Zongyue behind her was distracted.
If it were anyone else, she would have turned her back and left immediately, but Chen Zongyue is tall and handsome, and now has a job in the city, so he is a very respectable person.
She did seem somewhat inclined to get in touch with Chen Zongyue.
"Okay." Perhaps Chen Zongyue really does have something on his mind.
The two went downstairs one after the other. Chen Zongyue nervously looked towards the counter, and when he saw that Zhou Sui was not there, he felt inexplicably relieved.
For some reason, he didn't want Zhou Sui to see him walking with other girls.
After leaving the store, Chen Zongyue considerately offered to take Xiaomin home, which cheered Xiaomin up.
"Then let's reschedule for another day."
"Okay, let's meet another day."
After waving goodbye, Chen Zongyue turned and left, but he went towards the back street.
Zhou Sui had just come out of the kitchen when she saw someone standing in front of the counter, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"Boss, this gentleman says he's looking for you," one of the shop assistants said to Zhou Sui, but seeing the boss's drastic change in expression, he became puzzled.
Didn't this gentleman say he was an old friend of the boss? Why does the boss seem to dislike him?
Having personally confirmed that Zhou Sui was indeed the owner of these two stores, Chen Zongyue felt both excited and doubtful.
He remembered that the Zhou family was just an ordinary rural family, so how did Zhou Sui become the owner of two stores in just a few months?
"Sui Sui." Chen Zongyue walked over with his hands in his pockets, thinking himself to be quite dashing.
"Long time no see, how have you been?"
That was such a terrible way to greet him. Zhou Sui didn't even look at him. "I was doing just fine before I met you."
"Seeing you now ruins my whole day."
She really regretted sleeping in that late, otherwise she wouldn't have been so unlucky as to run into this mother and son.
These two people are disgusting.
Zhou Sui's blatant disdain made Chen Zongyue's smile crumble.
"Sui Sui, we are friends, why are you so hostile towards me?"
He genuinely couldn't understand why Zhou Sui would treat him this way.
"Stop!" Zhou Sui stretched out a hand to stop his sweet talk.
"I'm not your friend, I'm a stranger."
"When I see you, I wish I could take a long detour, several blocks away, do you understand?"
"So, if you want to buy milk tea, please place an order. If you don't want to buy, please turn left and go outside, okay?"
The back gate of the school is to the right after you go out, and the road leading to the back street is to the left.
Zhou Sui was determined not to talk to Chen Zongyue. Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Zongyue quickly said something.
"I'll buy milk tea." He wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhou Sui about the two shops she owned.
Although Zhou Sui disliked Chen Zongyue, she loved money. Why open a shop if you can't make money?
She gave the shop assistant a look, and the shop assistant immediately understood and went to take the order. After Chen Zongyue paid, his eyes fell on Zhou Sui again.
But Zhou Sui turned and left immediately. Chen Zongyue wanted to chase after her, but the shop assistant stopped him.
"Sir, your milk tea."
He carried the milk tea and walked over to Zhou Sui in a few steps. Zhou Sui frowned and looked at him.
"Are you a fly? You follow me wherever I go."
"If you know what's good for you, get out of here or I'll have someone carry you out."
Zhou Sui's expression was fierce and not like she was joking. Chen Zongyue was startled and recalled the beating he had received in the village before.
He had lost face and felt timid, so he could only leave with a sullen face, but he would definitely find out the truth about Zhou Sui opening a shop.
