The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

Ye Shu underestimated herself, or rather, underestimated her lucky charm constitution.

Ever since the first customer walked in, the wind chimes at the door haven't stopped ringing; they're almost knocked off. The tinkling sound is mixed with the beeping of orders, the hum of the coffee machine, and the sounds of people chatting and short videos playing aloud.

Ye Shu felt like a spinning top, rapidly rotating in the small space behind the bar.

Today he truly experienced firsthand the pain Chen Xing usually suffered, as his left and right feet were never on the ground at the same time.

Seeing that he was too busy, Chen Xing took on the task of taking orders while also helping to make some drinks.

"Little lucky cat, your magic is still going strong today! The number of customers is almost as high as on a weekend."

Ye Shu didn't even have time to give her a wry smile, only managing a mumbled reply. He didn't have time to worry about this whole passive situation; the pile of orders in front of him was the only reality.

The wind chimes rang again. To be honest, the sound of the wind chimes was no longer pleasant to Ye Shu's ears; it had become somewhat jarring.

Chen Xing quickly put down what he was holding, turned around, and went to the bar to greet the customers:

Welcome!

However, when she saw the two people who came in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Two people came in. The one in front was a tall girl wearing cargo pants and an open windbreaker over her. Underneath, she wore a short, cropped black sports vest that showed off her abs.

She wasn't wearing makeup, but her features were defined, her eyes were bright, and her skin was a healthy tan, clearly tanned from the sun. She exuded a very casual aura, and it was hard not to take a second look just by standing there.

But there was another reason why I looked at her a few more times: there was someone hanging on her arm.

This person was a bit odd. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, zipped all the way up, covering the lower half of his face. He was also wearing a mask, large sunglasses that covered half his face, and a baseball cap pulled low over his head. He was completely covered up, a stark contrast to the person next to him.

A celebrity? Or some kind of special mission where they don't want to be in the public eye?

Chen Xing pondered for a moment, but still asked with a smile:

"Welcome! What would you two like to order?"

The two people didn't answer. The cool girl turned slightly to the side and craned her neck to look behind Chen Xing.

When she saw Ye Shu, who was busy and sweating profusely, a smile crept onto her lips. She shook the mysterious person on her arm and lowered her voice, saying:

"Hey, look, there it is."

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man, who was bundled up like a vampire, also cautiously turned his head to look in that direction.

Seeing this, Chen Xing subconsciously turned around and looked back, only to find Ye Shu making drinks with a look of despair on her face.

She was a little puzzled, but she was too busy to wait for the two of them to examine the interior design of her shop.

She turned around, her smile unchanged, but she was clearly urging him on.

"What would you two like to order? Please take a look at the menu first."

The cool girl then withdrew her gaze, bent down slightly, and brought her ear close to the mysterious person beside her. She then nodded and said to Chen Xing:

"One iced Americano, one strawberry milk, half sweet, please."

After saying that, she took out her phone to scan the QR code and pay.

After ordering, the two looked around the store. Fortunately, most customers bought things to take away, and not many people stayed in the store to drink.

They found a seat near a corner and sat down. The cool girl leaned back in her chair, her eyes occasionally glancing at Ye Shuma, who was busy behind the bar, and then at the person next to her who was tense and ready to run away at any moment, with a look of amused curiosity.

The mysterious man, after sitting down against the wall, was still trembling slightly, constantly scanning the shop, but most of the time his sunglasses were fixed on the figure shaking a milk tea cup.

After placing the order, Chen Xing went back to Ye Shu's side and continued making drinks with him.

As she added ice to the shaker, she nudged Ye Shu beside her with her elbow, speaking in a low but excited voice, and gestured towards that corner with her lip:

"Hey, Xiao Ye, turn around and take a look. Those two who just came in, the one wearing sunglasses, are they some kind of celebrity? If they are, I'll have to go get an autograph and a photo later, and put it in our store. It'll be like a celebrity visited the store, how prestigious that would be."

"star?"

Ye Shu didn't even look up; his mind was completely focused on the cup in his hand. He had no time to care about celebrities or anything like that; his mind was solely on the order notes and the drink recipe. Adding coconut jelly was more important than any celebrity. No celebrity could make his drink…

Well, we can't be too absolute. Chen Xing, who's right next to him, can make drinks for him.

Despite my inner complaints, I still glanced back.

He spotted Qin Lili sitting in the corner at a glance, baring her teeth and waving at him.

Ye Shu blinked, afraid she was seeing things, and blinked twice more. She wasn't mistaken; the one waving at her was Qin Lili.

Immediately afterward, his gaze fell on the small rice dumpling opposite him, which was covered up tightly.

Light snow?

Ye Shu could tell at a glance that he was overwhelmed with too many emotions and didn't know where to begin.

There was the surprise of her sudden appearance, the joy of her being here, and at the same time, the worry that she might feel uncomfortable.

But the biggest surprise was that Ye Shu's lips curled up uncontrollably. He could hardly believe that Xiao Xue had come all this way to such a crowded place.

It's true that times are changing and society is progressing; even Xiaoxue has improved so much.

He now had an urge to throw down his cup and rush over to ask her how she got here, if she was scared on the way, tired, thirsty, hot, or cold...

But he held back; he still had a row of drinks waiting for him to make, so he could only nod in that direction.

Qin Lili also saw his undisguised silly grin, raised her hand and waved it at him like she was shooing away a puppy, meaning "I saw it, go do your thing, don't worry about us."

Ye Shu took a deep breath, pulling her wandering thoughts back, and turned back to continue making drinks.

Now, I don't feel tired when making drinks anymore, and my hands move faster. I'm focused on finishing quickly so I can go see her.

Seeing him grinning like a fool, all smug, Chen Xing immediately leaned over and asked:

"Did you recognize him? Did you recognize him?"

"Yes, I recognize it."

Upon hearing that he had been recognized and seeing the expression on his face, Chen Xing also became excited.

It's confirmed! She must be a big star!

Chen Xing had come to understand Ye Shu quite well. When she gossiped with Ye Shu, Ye Shu would at most smile and nod in agreement, indicating that she was listening, but she wasn't really interested in these things.

She also asked Ye Shu which celebrity she liked the most, and Ye Shu's answer at the time was Jackie Chan.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing's heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Could someone be a big star who could make Xiao Ye so excited?! On par with Jackie Chan?!

She couldn't help but ask:

"Who is it? Who is it? Tell me quickly! Oh, I'm so anxious!"

"My girlfriend."

Chen Xing's mind went blank for a moment; she opened her mouth in astonishment.

"Your girlfriend is a celebrity?! I was just saying when I saw her last time, I thought she was really pretty. What has she acted in?"

"no."

Seeing that her guesses were getting increasingly outrageous, Ye Shu finally snapped out of her smug state and laughed:

"You're overthinking it, she's not a celebrity."

"what?"

Chen Xing's heart, which had been soaring, was instantly slammed to the ground by Ye Shu's words, deflated in an instant.

"Not a celebrity...what a pity..."
