The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

The man was wearing a tracksuit from a certain brand's early spring collection.

One hand was in his pocket, the other holding his phone, and he was looking down at the screen.

Mu Zikun.

Jiang Wan recognized him.

Mu Zikun raised his head, his gaze swept over, and his steps suddenly stopped.

His gaze shifted from casual to surprised, and then quickly to amazed.

He stood there, staring at Jiang Wan for a good ten seconds, as if he hadn't realized who he was seeing.

Jiang Wan spoke first, her tone polite but distant, "Welcome. Would you like to takeout or dine in?"

Mu Zikun came to his senses and walked up to Jiang Wan.

He had originally intended to pack it up and take it with him, but at this moment, he changed his mind.

"I...I'll drink here."

Jiang Wan turned around and picked up an order form and a pen from the bar. "Okay, please find a seat."

Mu Zikun sat down nearby and looked through the menu.

Yu Guangzhong was secretly glancing at Jiang Wan standing next to him.

"A coconut latte," he said.

"Okay, do you need anything else?"

"No."

Jiang Wan ticked the order slip, returned to the counter, and handed it to Xiao Chen.

The coffee was made quickly.

Jiang Wan carried the tray over and placed the coffee in front of him. "Your coconut latte, please enjoy."

Mu Zikun suddenly spoke up: "Jiang Wan."

Jiang Wan stopped and turned to look at him, a standard professional smile on her face. "Is there anything else you need?"

Mu Zikun hesitated for a moment, "You... you're doing this part-time?"

Seemingly afraid of any misunderstanding, he added another sentence.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say that I've never seen you here before."

Jiang Wan: "It's not a part-time job; I'm covering for a friend."

Mu Zikun nodded, wanting to say something more, but Jiang Wan had already turned and left.

Jiang Wan returned to the bar and leaned against it.

Xiao Chen, who was behind the bar, leaned closer and whispered, "Do you know each other?"

"Alumni," Jiang Wan said.

Xiao Chen glanced at Mu Zikun, noticing his gaze lingering on Jiang Wan, and said, "Why does it seem like he's a bit interested in you?"

Jiang Wan didn't reply, but picked up a rag and started wiping the bar.

Mu Zikun had been drinking his coffee for over half an hour, and the cup was long gone, but he was still sitting there, showing no sign of leaving.

He would sometimes reply to his girlfriend's messages on his phone, and sometimes look up, his gaze falling on Jiang Wan.

Supervisor Liu also noticed something was wrong and nudged Jiang Wan lightly with her elbow, "Does that handsome young man like you?"

Jiang Wan didn't even look up. "He has a girlfriend."

Sister Liu snorted, her tone carrying a hint of disdain from someone with experience, "Having a girlfriend and still acting like this? Men, they really are always looking for something better."

The wind chimes rang as soon as the words were spoken.

The high heels clicked crisply and rhythmically on the wooden floor.

Jiang Wan looked up.

The woman had long, wavy hair dyed a trendy chestnut brown.

She was wearing a burgundy suede cropped jacket, with a black camisole underneath the open zipper.

She wore black skinny jeans and high-top brown riding boots.

With fiery red lips, her eyes and brows exuded the charm and confidence of a mature woman.

The moment she stepped in, even the air seemed to thicken.

Sister Liu and Xiao Chen smiled broadly at her.

"Boss."

"Hello, boss."

The two men greeted her.

Jiang Wan was stunned.

It turns out that this charming woman is the owner of this coffee shop.

Tao Mengshu nodded to Sister Liu and Xiao Chen, then turned her gaze to Jiang Wan.

As Jiang Wan was sizing her up, Tao Mengshu also noticed her immediately.

She asked with great interest, "Who is this beautiful lady? I don't recall having such an employee."

Jiang Wan explained to her, "Hello boss, my name is Jiang Wan, and I'm here to cover Zhou Feiyan's shift."

"Feiyan has something to do this afternoon, so I'll cover for her."

Tao Mengshu nodded knowingly, her gaze still fixed on Jiang Wan's face.

She leaned against the bar, arms crossed over her chest.

"Jiang Wan..." she repeated the name, her eyes full of interest, "Would you be interested in working for me?"

"I need one more waiter/waitress. He/She can work all day on Saturdays and Sundays. The salary is definitely higher than the part-time jobs on the market."

"With your looks, you'd be a perfect advertisement if you just stood there in the store."

Jiang Wan smiled sheepishly and said truthfully, "Thank you, boss, but I have other part-time jobs on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'm afraid it won't be possible due to time constraints."

Her job as a companion also pays well.

Moreover, the job of a gaming companion is highly flexible.

In addition, for a long-term part-time job, she has already decided to work as a waitress at "Yunshang Club".

"I see," Tao Mengshu said with a hint of regret, "That's a real pity, but—"

She paused, then took a business card from the bar and handed it to Jiang Wan. "This is my business card. Feel free to contact me anytime you want to come."

Jiang Wan took the business card with both hands and glanced at it.

—Tao Mengshu.

This name sounds familiar.

Jiang Wan didn't think about it in detail.

"Thank you, boss."

She carefully put the business card away and sincerely thanked him.

Tao Mengshu glanced at her again, then turned and walked into the back office.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The setting sun cast an orange-red glow on the floor through the coffee shop's glass windows.

Mu Zikun had been sitting for more than two hours.

The coffee cup was long gone, and the phone battery had dropped from full to 40%.

He would glance at Jiang Wan every now and then, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Jiang Wan ignored it and went about her business.

Finally, Mu Zikun's phone rang.

He answered the phone, lowered his voice and said a few words. His expression changed, and then he stood up and left in a hurry.

The wind chimes tinkled, then fell silent.

Watching Mu Zikun's departing figure, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Finally gone."

Jiang Wan put down the tray in her hand and picked up a rag to wipe the table.

After tidying up the cups and trays, return to the back of the bar.

At 5:30, the person who was supposed to change shifts arrived.

Jiang Wan went to the changing room to change back into her own clothes, folded her work uniform, and handed it to Sister Liu.

"Thank you for your hard work today."

Sister Liu took the clothes, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "If Feiyan asks you to cover her shift again, you must come."

Jiang Wan revealed her dimples, "Okay, I'll try my best."

As she pushed open the door of the coffee shop, the wind ruffled the stray hairs by her ears, and the setting sun cast a soft glow on the bustling city.

Jiang Wan passed by a flower shop where a decorative mirror was embedded in the wall, clearly reflecting her image.

She took out her phone and took a full-body photo with her face covered.

I took another picture of the lush flowers in front of the flower shop.

The two were packaged together and sent to Shang Shixu.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Baby~ Is the flower prettier or am I prettier?]

Boston at 6 a.m.

Shang Shixu stretched his strong forearm out of bed and picked up his phone from the bedside table.

Upon reading the message, a slight smile unconsciously curved her slightly pursed lips.

Tap with your fingertips—

Lie: [The face is now before me, why should the peach blossoms laugh at the spring breeze?]
