After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

While they were cooking, the two of them huddled in the kitchen and analyzed the situation for most of the day.

Although the final result cannot be verified.

But during their casual conversation after they joined forces, Lan Yujuan's grievances had unknowingly vanished.

Chen Mo cooked a table full of delicious food and opened two cans of beer.

After a satisfying meal, all that's left is a good mood.

The little one spent the weekend at his grandparents' house and was so happy that he didn't have time to think about home.

The two of them were left at home, enjoying a simple time together, and went to their room to rest early.

Chen Mo, who had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, seemed to have found the key to sleep and miraculously slept until dawn.

When Chen Mo woke up the next morning, he looked at his radiant self in the mirror. His heart was like a pool of water in a forest, shimmering in the sunlight, and surprisingly peaceful and joyful.

This pleasant feeling was something he had never experienced in his previous repressed and dull life.

Looking at his clear, deep eyes in the mirror, Chen Mo felt an urgent desire to hold onto the beauty of the present moment.

But he was also afraid that he might overdo it and hasten the passing of his wonderful life.

"What are you thinking about?"

After Lan Yujuan changed her clothes, she gently hugged him from behind, then peeked out from the side, curiously looking at Chen Mo in the mirror.

Chen Mo smiled, slowly raised his hand and turned to the side, gently pulling the petite woman who was pressed against his back into his arms. Then he tightened his grip on her waist, leaning forward slowly, his eyes drawing ever closer.

Thinking of you...

After saying that, Chen Mo stared at her lips and couldn't resist wanting to kiss them.

And he did indeed want to do that.

Lan Yujuan blushed deeply, raised her hand to cover his face, and whispered:

"Smooth-talking!"

"How come I never realized you were this kind of person before?"

Chen Mo closed his eyes and buried his face in her palm, chuckling softly.

The scorching heat sprayed onto Lan Yujuan's palms, and her thick, bushy eyelashes, like two small brushes, tickled her palms.

Lan Yujuan withdrew her hand in embarrassment and annoyance, and whispered reproachfully:

"Stop fooling around so early in the morning."

"The coffee shop is opening next week."

"A lot of coffee beans and coffee-making machines arrived today. I need to get there early to oversee the receiving and installation."

When Chen Mo heard her talk about serious matters, his expression also became serious.

He released his hands and braced himself against the sink next to her. Then he stepped back slightly, creating a close yet not overly intimate distance.

"Do you need my help?"

"Although I don't know much about coffee, I'm very strong."

As he spoke, Chen Mo gently and easily picked her up and placed her on the sink.

He could just lower his head slightly and kiss her eyebrows and eyes.

Lan Yujuan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She raised her hands and pinched his ears to stop him from making any further trouble.

"You don't need to go. I'm afraid you'll cause me trouble."

When it came to strength, a mischievous smirk suddenly flashed across Lan Yujuan's eyes.

She leaned closer, deliberately whispering in Chen Mo's ear, her breath warm and sweet:

"Besides, I know your strength. You should save it for tonight!"

Before Chen Mo could react, she gracefully jumped off the sink.

Then it slipped away from under his hands in a flash.

Chen Mo was left standing there, stunned, his face gradually turning red, his eyes filled with disbelief.

When he finally realized what was happening and turned to chase after her, he only saw Lan Yujuan standing at the door, waving at him.

"What do you mean?"

His response was the sound of Lan Yujuan closing the door after deliberately provoking him.

Chen Mo stood at the bedroom door with his hands on his hips, and burst out laughing in exasperation.

"Ha, you little ingrate, you've gotten bold, aren't you? You think I don't serve you well enough at night?"

"You just wait until tonight! Crying and begging won't do you any good..."

On her way to the coffee shop, Lan Yujuan had a simple breakfast.

After arriving at the store, as supplies and machines were gradually brought in, she became busy, like a spinning top.

Before I knew it, I was busy until two or three in the afternoon, and the store's layout was beginning to take shape.

Lan Yujuan finally decided to take a break and give herself time to make her first cup of coffee using the new machine and new coffee beans.

However, just as she finished washing her hands, the little bookmark wind chime on the glass door of the cafe jingled, "Ding-a-ling~"

She looked up in surprise and saw a young girl with a canvas bag on her back and dressed in a neat and simple style push the door open and come in.

Lan Yujuan, wearing a brown apron, stood behind the bar looking completely bewildered.

"Hello!" she greeted the young girl who entered the store as a reflex.

After entering the store, the young girl cautiously looked around, then walked to the bar and said in a clear voice:

"Hello, a cup of coffee, please."

Although the renovation is complete and all the furniture and other items in the store have been put in place.

But deep down, Lan Yujuan was not ready at all to formally receive guests.

"Hold on!"

Lan Yujuan nervously handed over the handwritten coffee order form, and her palms began to sweat as she waited for the customer to order.

So she tried to find things to do to calm her agitated emotions.

She turned around to rinse the cups, then picked up a shiny white cloth and began wiping the already spotless countertop.

Although it was less than two minutes, Lan Yujuan felt like she had waited for half a century.

"I'd like a hand-brewed Geisha!" the girl said, pointing to the top one.

"I saw a note next to yours that this Geisha coffee is a champion coffee, and I'd like to try it."

Lan Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she withdrew the bean order.

"OK."

"You can sit anywhere. I'll bring you your coffee once it's made."

The little girl smiled shyly at her and gently shook her head, saying:

"It's okay, I'll sit at the bar for a while and see how you do it."

After saying that, he pulled over a bar stool from the side, put his bag down, and sat down on tiptoe.

When Lan Yujuan was in college, she specifically studied coffee and tea, and was particularly interested in hand-drip coffee.

She not only worked part-time at a professional coffee shop and visited a professional coffee plantation, but also participated in the National Hand-Drip Coffee Competition and won the national first prize.

Therefore, during the subsequent pour-over coffee process, her technique was surprisingly mature and composed.

As the water flowed down, the coffee dripped from the bottom of the filter cup, releasing its aroma. The young girl sitting at the bar instantly straightened her back, her face filled with respect.

After brewing the coffee, Lan Yujuan gently shook it to mix it evenly, and then poured herself a small sip first.

After tasting it, I was certain that the flavor and aroma were both excellent, and a smile unconsciously crept onto my lips.

Then she took out a small walnut wood tray, placed the extracted coffee on it, and added a coffee cup and a glass of cool boiled water.

I placed folded napkins and complimentary snacks on the table and respectfully handed them over.

"Hello, your coffee is ready!"

"You can drink some cool boiled water first to cleanse your mouth, and then you can drink coffee."

Finally, he handed over a blank card and a pen, smiling as he said:

"If you have any suggestions for coffee shops or small stores, you can also leave them on the card."

"We will adopt any suitable suggestions and strive to do better in the future!"

Enjoy your meal!

The little girl listened attentively and nodded shyly in thanks.

When Lan Yujuan saw the little girl pick up the glass and begin to savor her coffee seriously on her own, she finally relaxed.

She finally received her first order during the small coffee shop's trial operation.

Her new career officially begins today!

From the moment they entered the store until they left after finishing their coffee, the young woman did not engage in any further interaction with them, except for necessary communication, taking a few photos of the store and the coffee, and asking a few questions related to coffee.

It wasn't until after the guests left, when Lan Yujuan was tidying up the table, that she noticed a line of neat handwriting left on the small card:

[Absolutely fantastic! A hidden gem of a coffee shop. The baristas are incredibly professional, and the coffee beans are absolutely amazing. I'll definitely be back!]

When Lan Yujuan saw the comments on the list, her mouth stretched almost to her ears, and she couldn't stop laughing.

However, her joy was short-lived, as someone who brought her no joy at all pushed open the door and entered the store.

"You were here after all!"

Lan Yujuan put down her coffee and silently watched her old classmate walk towards the bar.

"Did you need something from me?" Lan Yujuan's smile faded, and she asked in a low voice.

With a "thud!", a brocade box was slammed onto the bar.

"I took the watch, here it is!" Li Shan said coldly, her eyes full of resentment.

Lan Yujuan frowned and reached out to pick up the brocade box.

Upon opening it, it was indeed the same watch Chen Mo often wore. However, only the watch head remained inside; the strap was gone.

"Lan Yujuan, your methods are truly remarkable!"

"I've already returned it to its rightful owner, could you please let me go?"

Lan Yujuan closed the brocade box and put it in the drawer. Hearing this, she looked up in surprise and said:

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
