Mu Xiaoxiao walked into Blue Café. This was where she had agreed to et Lu Yichen.
This place was not very far from Shangde High, and it was separated from the bustling street by a road. Usually, the students from Shangde took a stroll or shopped here after school.
The fragrance of coffee could be slt as Mu Xiaoxiao entered the shop. While trying to look for Lu Yichen, she spotted him waving to her.
Smiling, she walked over and sat down. “Did you wait long?”
Lu Yichen passed her the nu gentlemanly. “No, I didn’t. Choose what you want to drink from here. This restaurant is quite popular, so the drinks should taste good.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was neither partial nor impartial to coffee, but she liked to drink things like milk tea or kumquat lemon juice.
“It’s just nice that I’m thirsty…” She flipped the nu open. Seeing the price, her words stopped, and she lifted her head and cast an involuntary look at Lu Yichen. Using the nu to cover her face, she leaned forward and whispered, “This shop is expensive!”
A beverage cost almost 100 yuan. Even though she had had even more expensive drinks before, the first thing she thought of was Lu Yichen’s financial situation.
The corner of Lu Yichen’s lips twitched a smile. “It’s alright; just order what you want. I can afford this,” he said nonchalantly.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows and shook her head. “I don’t want to; it’s too expensive. This is practically daylight robbery!” she said.
No wonder he had said that this café was popular with the students. Shangde High was a school for the elite, and most of the students were rich scions who would of course purchase things at such a price without a second thought.
Just then, the waiter brought their plates over.
“Enjoy your al.” The waiter smiled warmly, his fresh and dapper appearance putting people at ease.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the food. Unexpectedly, it was two strawberry cakes, and she couldn’t help but look at Lu Yichen in shock. “Did you order these?”
Lu Yichen nodded, his pupils sparkling like stars. Smiling, he said, “Yeah, I heard from people who eat the desserts here that they tasted good, and it just happened that you’re here to try so with .”
After the waiter left, Mu Xiaoxiao flipped through the nu hurriedly to find the price of the cakes.
Seeing her like that made Lu Yichen not know if he should laugh or cry. “Stop searching and just order a drink.”
Mu Xiaoxiao flipped the pages noisily, and she finally found the price of the strawberry cake at the back. Instantly, her eyes widened. “My god! More than a hundred yuan! This is really daylight robbery!”
Her voice was a little loud, and it attracted the stares of custors nearby.
Lu Yichen coughed awkwardly, reminding her of their surroundings.
Even though he didn’t mind her making such a fuss, which was kind of cute, it was highly likely that there were other students around. She had already been involved in such a big incident today, and because a lot of attention was on her, it was better for her to keep a low-profile.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed this as well. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly pulled up the collar of her sun-proof outerwear to cover her face.
She had purchased the outerwear on the way here so that she could hide in it.
Placing the nu aside, Mu Xiaoxiao held up the lemon water the waiter had just delivered. “I’ll just drink this. I’m not going to order anything else.”
Seeing her like this, Lu Yichen did not press her.
Mu Xiaoxiao drank a mouth of water. Her head was occupied with thinking that she must hurry ho, lest Yin Shaojie discover that she had snuck out.
“Lu Yichen, what did you want to tell ?” she asked hurriedly. It was a race against ti, as she wanted to rush ho after their talk.
Lu Yichen’s brown eyes gazed at her. “Actually, you can call Yichen.”
Mu Xiaoxiao froze a little. Call him Yichen? It felt so intimate…
