Chapter 107: Part One

  Three days later, Gu Liu Yu finally allowed me to go out, but he still had a stern face and bluntly warned me that I must return home within four hours before agreeing to let me go.

  The small alley on the long street, that's a coffee shop I used to go to often. I really like the quiet atmosphere there, even when I'm alone, I don't feel lonely.

  Piano music flows in the cafe, as soon as I stepped in here, my heart became exceptionally calm. There are never many people here, but it's extremely popular.

  "Welcome, sir." A rather unfamiliar girl came over, she had a delicate face, looked young, smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, giving people a particularly comfortable feeling.

  "Hello, may I have a cup of cappuccino?" Actually, I'm not a big fan of coffee. I don't like the bitter taste that lingers in my throat, but I have a special fondness for cappuccinos.

  "A cup?" The girl in front of her seemed a bit surprised, and quickly spoke up: "Don't get me wrong, I thought you were waiting for your boyfriend, sorry about that." She stuck out her tongue and smiled shyly.

  "It's okay, I'm actually waiting for someone." I smiled and said, "Just not a boyfriend, that's all."

  The girl didn't say much more, took up her pen and wrote a few words on the paper before temporarily leaving.

  Just then, the short message alert sounded, and I inexplicably took out my phone to open the inbox. The moment Lei Yang's name appeared before my eyes, I subconsciously held my breath.

  Sorry, I was delayed on the way and might be late, sorry about that.

  I took out my phone and looked at it for a while, then replied: It's okay, I'm not there yet either.

  "Ah, little Qianqian, it's been a long time since you've come! The boss of the tea house, who was lost in thought, walked over with an ambiguous smile on her face. "Is it because you've found a boyfriend and that's why you don't come to see your sister anymore? You're really not very considerate."

  I felt a bit helpless and put down my phone, saying: "Sister Mo, isn't it that I just can't spare the time? Otherwise, how about I apologize to you with a gift of a humble plant?"

  Mo Jie burst out laughing and waved her hand generously, "You're still as sharp-tongued as ever."

  I have known Mo Jie for a long time, but I actually don't know her real name. Everyone calls her that way, so I followed suit. If we really count the age, I should call her Auntie. But Mo Jie never lets me call her Auntie, saying she's still in her prime and doesn't want to be called Auntie. Since she didn't tell me her name, I just follow everyone else and call her Mo Jie.

  Mo's sister is not a local, she only married and moved here because her husband lives in this city. All these years I have never seen Mo's sister's husband, this coffee shop is completely managed by her. Sometimes you can hear others mention Mo's sister's husband, Mo's sister just says that her husband is busy, apart from that, she doesn't want to reveal anything else.

  The coffee was delivered by the same young woman as before. As soon as she left, I asked Mo Jie: "Is this girl new here? I've never seen her before."

  Sister Mo said: "You're talking about Jiu Zhi? Not bad, she's new here, I see that she does things steadily, so I took her in."

  I nodded, "Jiuzhi? What a strange name." I said casually, but naturally remembered the name.

  "Hey, look at you, aren't you interested in her? I really didn't expect you to be into this sort of thing." Mo Jie looked at me with disdain and said sarcastically.

  I quietly took a sip of coffee, pretending I hadn't heard.

  "Sister, I'm telling you, this girl's background is not simple. Put away your curiosity, or else don't blame sister for not warning you." Mo Jie sat across from me, saying with a hint of a smile.
