However, she had a feeling that in the short time after she asked the question, the handsome young man in front of her had thought about a lot of things, more than she could have imagined.

"Ye Zi Jun, make me another one, it's so delicious, I've already finished it all."

Kato Megumi turned the cup over to show off her success.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Ye Ziye nodded in agreement, deciding to stop thinking about those messy things and focus on living life to the fullest.

Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami, who had been secretly watching, were both a little confused. They felt that the conversation between the two was a bit inexplicable and had a rather large gap between the two.

But none of that matters anymore. What's most surprising is that Ye Ziye, who is usually so calm and collected, actually smiled. You have to know that Kudo Nami once tried to spend 50,000 yen but couldn't achieve this.

Seeing Ye Ziye's smile now, she blushed, realizing how powerful it was.

As for Nakamura Nannei, he had long since put on a lovesick expression, pathetically forgetting his own purpose.

Kudo Nami made up her mind that one day, she would make Ye Ziye's smile the signboard of the pet cafe!

Chapter 39

As night deepened and the office workers finished their shifts, the number of people in the coffee shop suddenly increased. Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami stopped their furtive observations and instead busied themselves serving customers.

Kato Megumi remained in the same spot, and her second cup of coffee was still delicious. This time, however, she chose to savor it slowly, chatting with Ye Ziye from time to time.

Everyone in the coffee shop noticed this person; normally, no one would talk to Ye Ziye like that.

Nakamura Nannei, who was holding a cup of coffee, was suddenly pulled over; it was Akiyama Hitomi.

This woman was very unhappy that her position, which she had held for two days, was taken away. She had come in early and left early, but she was still a step too late.

She didn't notice Kato Megumi when she first entered the store; she only noticed her when she got closer.

"Nanning-chan, who is that girl?"

"That's Ye Zijun's classmate who came with me. He's been sitting there the whole time."

Nakamura Nanami spoke softly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, and Akiyama Hitomi noticed, quickly pulling her into her arms.

"Don't worry, Nanning Sauce. From what I've observed, those two are just ordinary friends right now. As the saying goes, being close to someone makes it easier to get what you want, so you still have a great chance!"

Nakamura Nanami seemed to be inspired, and her drooping pigtails almost stood up, but then they drooped down again.

"But I can only see Ye Zi at night, while I can see that girl all day long..."

"this..."

Hitomi Akiyama didn't know how to comfort her, and it seemed that her attempt to comfort her had backfired.

"But don't worry, Renmei, I will still try my best!"

Seeing Nakamura Nanami, who had cheered herself up and regained her energy, Akiyama Hitomi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to become a sinner.

"Well, come on!"

After ending the conversation, Nakamura Nanami went back to work; she still had many cups of coffee to deliver.

Ye Ziye had actually noticed the two people who had just been talking. He had originally wanted to ask about the novel today, but now it seemed that he didn't need to.

The two were quite far apart, and he was busy making coffee.

Moreover, it might not be impossible to ask tomorrow. At that time, Hitomi Akiyama will definitely sit in front of him again, which will be much more convenient.

"Ye Zi-kun, why do I feel like there are so many eyes watching me from behind..."

After finishing the last sip of her second cup of coffee, Kato Megumi finally couldn't help but blurt out the truth. Although she had been stared at a lot at school for talking to Yoko, she didn't understand why this was still happening here.

Ye Ziye placed the prepared coffee on the tray held by Nakamura Nanning, looked around, and everyone's gaze shifted away.

Ye Ziye sighed softly, unsure how to explain it. He wasn't that narcissistic, thinking that all the female customers in the shop liked him.

Even if there are exceptions, they are extremely rare. Having already entered society, they know the difference between reality and fantasy, and the age gap cannot be bridged.

The reason they came was because of Ye Ziye's captivating scholarly air and calming temperament. These urban women, tired after a long day, needed something to rely on.

The same principle applies to Ye Ziye and Kou Huahua. In this world, there aren't many people like him who can be teased without reacting, so these people should satisfy their desires.

The best spot near Ye Ziye is now occupied by a high school girl, so it's understandable that they're staring at her.

"Maybe...it's because your clothes are dirty..."

Ye Ziye came up with a terrible excuse.

"Huh? Really?"

Girls value their cleanliness and tidiness very much. Even someone like Kato Megumi would be concerned if she appeared unclean in front of so many people.

She thought about turning her head to see where her clothes were dirty, but then she realized that this posture was somewhat indecent and not appropriate to do in public.

"Ye Zi-jun, I'll be going now, I'll come back later."

"Ah."

Ye Ziye responded softly, while pondering whether her excuse was utterly lame.

However, Kato Megumi wasn't flustered. She calmly walked out of the store and disappeared into the thick night.

No one sat in the seat in front of Ye Ziye. It was almost closing time, and it would seem a bit conspicuous for someone to sit there.

As night deepened, the last customer left the shop, marking the end of the day's work.

"Nakamura."

Seeing Nakamura Nanami tidying up the table and finishing up, Ye Ziye called out.

Nakamura Nanami pointed incredulously at herself, then jogged over, her twin ponytails swaying.

"What's wrong, Ye Zi?"

"Let me teach you how to make coffee."

Ye Ziye had thought about this for a long time. He couldn't stay a barista forever, and he might be late more and more often in the future. He couldn't let his actions affect the operation of the entire store.

"Me? Really?"

"Okay, when you get home, tell me which coffee varieties you want to learn, and I'll teach you them one by one."

Nakamura Nanami was overjoyed. She had long wanted to learn how to make coffee, such an elegant thing, but she had no one to teach her. Now she had a free and excellent teacher.

She was happy for a while, then remembered something and lowered her head.

"But I still have to work as a waiter..."

Ye Ziye had naturally considered this as well. He patted Nakamura Nanami on the shoulder and pointed to Kudo Nami, who was tidying up the flowers and plants.

"There's someone, believe me, who would be happy to have two baristas in the shop, and she'd like you more than me."

Seemingly sensing the impolite gaze, Kudo Nami turned around sensitively, but seeing the two people having a serious conversation, she couldn't help but turn her head back.

Nakamura Nanning breathed a sigh of relief, then asked...

"Ye Zijun, are you resigning?"

"No, it's just that I don't want to disrupt the operation of the coffee shop because of me. I hope that if I arrive late, you can take over the barista position."

Resigning is a must, just not now. Ye Ziye still needs this job to support herself and Garfield.

"Yes! I will definitely study hard!"

Having ruled out her worries, Nakamura Nanami regained her energy, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She decided to go home today and review her entire collection of coffee encyclopedias.

Chapter 40

April 1th, cloudy.

Ye Zi woke up early again tonight, not from the musty smell, but from needing to pee—not from the urge to urinate.

In a daze, Ye Ziye pulled Garfield, who was perched on his face, off. He hadn't noticed when the chubby creature had gotten onto his face.

Ye Ziye checked the time on his phone; it was already past four o'clock. He figured he wouldn't get much sleep anyway, so he simply got up.

"It's all your fault, you made me not get a good night's sleep."

Rubbing Garfield's chubby face, who was still half asleep, Ye Ziye put on her school uniform and began preparing her breakfast.

He hadn't smelled it yet because Garfield had covered his face, but now that he was awake, the musty smell on the wall could easily get into Ye Ziye's nostrils; it wasn't very pleasant.

Ye Ziye frowned. He had cleaned it carefully when he came back last night; the rainy season was really a bit dreadful.

He happened to get up early today, so he cleaned it all over again to make sure it wouldn't get moldy anytime soon. 5

"Please, hold on until Garfield and I move out!"

Ye Ziye patted the wall he had just cleaned, as if speaking to a comrade-in-arms. Cleaning this thing was really not an easy task, and he didn't want to do it anymore.

He prepared bread and milk for breakfast, all of which were food he had stockpiled before. So his cooking skills were not increasing. Now his cooking skills were almost at level 4, and making simple breakfasts would not increase his proficiency.

"Garfield, stay home and wait, we'll move soon!"

After having breakfast and feeding Garfield, Ye Ziye rubbed its big face and left the rented room.

When it comes time to find a house, it needs to be a place that allows pets. Actually, Ye Ziye had her eye on several places, but none of them allowed pets, so for Garfield's sake, she gave up on them.

These were pets left behind by the previous owner of the body, and Ye Ziye felt it was necessary to be responsible for them. Besides, he also liked cats, and Garfield was very cute.

Ye Ziye left home at just six o'clock, far from the start of class, so he planned to walk to school today. He had never experienced walking to school before, even though he had been here for so long.

Shuchiin Academy is located in Minato Ward, about an hour's walk from his rented apartment. Although it's far, he wanted to give it a try.

The cherry blossoms in the island nation are in full bloom in April, but this may be the last time they are beautiful. In another month, this beauty that people all over the world long for will disappear.

This was Ye Ziye's first time admiring cherry blossoms in the morning light; in the semi-dark environment, the cherry blossoms had a unique beauty.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street at this time, so Ye Ziye had a leisurely walk along the way without being disturbed by anyone.

But he soon regretted it; he had overestimated his physical strength.

His predecessor was a homebody who rarely did any physical exercise. The only part of his body he used was his hands, which he used to type on a keyboard.

During PE class, he was also a magical person who could get a ring around the neck from girls.

With such poor stamina, wanting to walk a distance that takes an hour is just wishful thinking. This is the first time Ye Ziye has clearly realized just how bad his stamina really is.

Do you want to exercise?

Feeling the soreness in his legs, Ye Ziye pondered this. He felt it was necessary to put this plan on the agenda, as he didn't want to suffer from illness in this world because of his body.

Looking at the rising sun in the east, Ye Ziye sighed. He had a premonition that he might be late today.
