"You’re going to do it?" Ben Shaming raised an eyebrow at Xue Jiangqiu, then suddenly sneered, "Forget it. I’ll find another place."
As he spoke, he didn’t even look at Yan Yu and just turned away to leave.
Yan Yu felt as if a lump of cotton was stuck in her chest, while Xue Jiangqiu was even more baffled.
It wasn’t until Ben Shaming’s figure faded into the distance that Xue Jiangqiu hesitantly asked, "Do you... know him?"
Yan Yu sighed and gave a vague explanation, "He’s a model at Yan Jian’s studio. He had a minor disagreent with Yan Jian, and I was trying to persuade him to go back to work."
"Oh." Xue Jiangqiu exhaled a long breath of relief, smiled, and patted her on the shoulder, "You’re always such a kind girl. Alright, don’t take it to heart. Let’s get ready."
Yan Yu hurried to the back room to change, tied up her hair, and after disinfecting, walked into the kitchen. The two of them busied themselves at the dough table, their fingers and the backs of their hands inevitably touching several tis while kneading the dough.
She blushed and apologized, but he just smiled silently. When she spoke too much, he mischievously pinched so flour and sprinkled it on her head, causing her to call out in frustration.
Being by each other’s side like this, doing sothing they both love, basking in shared sunshine... when you think about it, isn’t this the happiness she desires?
.
After so ti, the salesgirl ca in for her shift, opened the doors to welco custors, and began serving the regulars who ca for the first batch of bread and desserts, accompanied by the scents of coffee and orange tea, marking the start of another beautiful morning.
Xue Jiangqiu helped her through this period and gently pressed her shoulder, "I have sothing to do, I’ll be back in the afternoon. Wait for ."
Yan Yu was taken aback, "Hmm?"
He asked her to wait for him... for what?
While washing his hands, he didn’t forget to help her brush away the flour from her hair with clean water, gently saying, "...I just confessed to you; shouldn’t we have our first date tonight?"
Yan Yu blushed deeply and stamred, "I don’t think I’ve agreed to it yet."
He laughed, sneaked a glance out the window, and when no one was looking, gently embraced her and, in a tone different from his usual gentle manner, dominantly said by her ear, "You dare not agree!"
With that, he quickly left the kitchen, winked at her with a mischievous smile from the window leading to the outer shop floor.
.
After nine-thirty, the breakfast crowd had dispersed, and the lunch crowd hadn’t arrived yet, leaving about an hour of leisure ti in the shop. Yan Yu felt a bit restless, and when she sat down, she found herself staring at her phone.
After thinking for a long ti, she squeezed into the seat by the window’s far corner and called Ben Shaming.
The phone rang several tis, as usual, before Ben Shaming answered, sounding sowhat reluctant.
Aloofly, he asked, "What do you want?"
Yan Yu took a deep breath, "I think you lied to in the shop this morning."
"What did you say?"
On the other end, Ben Shaming’s hair almost stood on end, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Yu took a deep breath, "I’m not talking nonsense. Even if you don’t admit it, I still know you lied."
Ben Shaming frustratedly threw the pen he was holding, "Did that man at your shop tell you I was there last night?"
That must be it; otherwise, how could she be so sure he lied!
Yan Yu was taken aback, "What did you say? You ca to my shop last night?"
In an instant, Ben Shaming truly wanted to strangle himself.
It’s over; he spilled the beans himself.
He forced himself to roll his eyes, "Yeah, I was there, so what? Aren’t your doors open for custors? Afraid of people coming in?"
Yan Yu helplessly said, "That’s not what I ant. I’m just wondering, what did you co to my shop for?"
Ben Shaming couldn’t help but suddenly change color, "Who said I was looking for you? For the last ti, I just passed by your shop by coincidence, wanting to buy sothing to eat, that’s all!"
Yan Yu gripped her phone tightly, becoming serious, "No, you’re lying again."
Ben Shaming felt like going crazy, "You... you ugly and stupid woman, how can you speak so confidently? Who do you think you are?"
Yan Yu bit her lip sowhat aggrievedly, "A witch, like you said."
She added in the end, "An ugly and stupid witch, is that okay?"
