It’s only six-thirty right now, so Shen Wenzhou wasn’t surprised that Ji Muran could wake up this early.
Ji Muran runs two coffee shops, and she doesn’t just occasionally drop by to check; she’s great at baking and spends most of her ti helping out with the baking.
Only recently, having enough money to hire staff, did Ji Muran stop getting up in the middle of the night to work.
Shen Wenzhou replied to Ji Muran’s ssage and then went out for his morning run.
It seed like Ji Muran got busy as well after sending a few ssages to Shen Wenzhou, and there was no more news from her.
After his morning run, Shen Wenzhou went ho to wash up and change clothes, had breakfast, then headed to the office.
By the ti Shen Wenzhou got busy, Ji Muran had just finished her hectic schedule. Their timings were the sa, yet they were busy in turns.
"Our boss is thinking about a man again!" Wang Zing couldn’t help but shake her head in amazent as she passed by Ji Muran.
Ji Muran rolled her eyes at Wang Zing but said nothing. She was thinking about a man—so what?
Mr. Shen was at work. She had no idea if he was busy, and she didn’t want to disturb him with a ssage, so why couldn’t she think about him?
"Want to try the new brew?" Wang Zing handed her a cup of freshly made coffee.
Ji Muran obliged and took a sip but imdiately frowned, "What on earth is this? Why does it taste so terrible?"
"Is it that bad?" Wang Zing looked puzzled. "It’s the new brew from the shop next door. I tried it yesterday, and it tasted the sa."
Ji Muran rolled her eyes at Wang Zing again, "Their boss loves to experint with weird coffee flavors. That’s why their business is failing, get it?"
Wang Zing blinked as Ji Muran sternly lectured, "Stop chatting with the neighbours all day! Focus on making good coffee. If our shop goes under, you won’t have a job anymore, got it?"
Wang Zing pursed her lips and said nothing, quietly taking away the coffee Ji Muran had tasted.
Ji Muran sighed and continued with the cleaning.
Lunch hour ca, and the shop welcod another peak period, with custors coming in waves and nurous delivery orders.
Ji Muran helped with the packing, busy and overwheld. By the ti the rush ended, it was already past two in the afternoon.
Ji Muran looked at her phone, wondering if Mr. Shen had started working again. She wanted to send a ssage but was afraid of interrupting him.
She had said she would pursue Mr. Shen, but either he was busy or she was. How could she pursue him like this?
This continued for two days, and Ji Muran’s pursuit of Shen Wenzhou was just daily morning and evening greetings. There was no other action at all!
...
"Girl, how do you expect to chase a man like this?" Her best friend said, exasperated.
"But I have to go help in the shop early every morning. By the ti I finish, Mr. Shen is already at work."
"He might be free during lunch break, but that’s when our shop gets busy. When I’m finally free, he’s busy again, and by the ti neither of us is busy, the day is over!"
Ji Muran was also very frustrated. Although they lived only five or six kiloters apart, it felt like they were in different ti zones, living different schedules.
"Money can’t always be earned, but if the man is gone, where will you find him?" her friend snapped!
Ji Muran didn’t know how to respond. This balance was hard to strike, wasn’t it?
