Ye Kong stayed up late to finish his drawing and didn't go to bed until dawn.

I skipped classes for a whole day. When I woke up and went downstairs, the first thing I saw was a familiar senior student lying in front of the bar like a piece of sticky candy.

"Your name is very nice. Boss Qu, can't you give me a discount card? I don't want more, just 20% off, because I feel like I'll be in school for a long time, maybe I'll have a chance to live and die with you in the future?"

"..."

"Boss Qu, you see, we are acquainted after fighting, but you don't even give me your contact information. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

"..."

"Boss Qu, where did you learn Sanda? Can you recommend it to me? I want to learn it, too. Or why don't you teach me? I'll pay you for the lessons!"

"..."

"Boss Qu, is your main job a programmer? Why are you typing away every day?"

"..."

"Boss Qu, why do you always wear a mask? Are you allergic? Or are you afraid that you don't look good? It doesn't matter, you are such a good fighter, you will look handsome no matter what your face looks like."

"..."

Ye Kong: ...

Her already light footsteps stopped on the stairs. Her eyes swept from a silent figure to a chattering figure, and then casually glanced into the store. She didn't notice how many customers came, but she did accidentally see a figure who approached the store door and then stopped inexplicably.

He was wearing a baseball cap as usual, but his eyes hidden in the shadows looked at her through the glass and did not look away for a long time.

Ye Kong: ...

The girl tilted her head.

"Are you up?" Qu Wu's voice came from below. She moved her eyes and saw Qu Wu waving at her with a smile: "Did you stay up all night again last night? Come quickly, my mother made chicken soup for you."

"Your mother can also make chicken soup? Auntie is amazing! I want to drink it too. After we become friends, can I also drink the chicken soup made by Auntie?"

Amid the senior schoolmate's yelling, Ye Kong walked downstairs. When he sat down, he just heard Qu Wu's "tsk" in frustration.

"You want a discount card, right?"

Qu Wu put the computer aside, quickly took a notebook, tore off a piece of paper, wrote the words "discount card" on it, and threw it to the senior student: "Here you go, use this to get a 20% discount in the future - is that ok?"

"Really?" The senior student didn't even dislike the crumpled paper and immediately picked it up like a treasure. "Now I have a place to buy coffee in the future. It saves me a lot of money!"

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Qu Wu with bright eyes: "Boss Qu, you really are hard on the outside but soft on the inside - in fact, you have a good impression of me, right? Why don't we exchange contact information and become besties or something..."

"..."

While drinking the chicken soup, Ye Kong silently watched Qu Wu's rare look of frustration and despair, and he actually wanted to take out his cell phone to take a picture.

The door of the store was pushed open, and someone walked up to the bar and whispered, "Two iced Americanos."

Xiao Jin raised her head in response, and immediately changed her attitude when she saw the man. She said enthusiastically and cheerfully, "The weather is cold, and you're still drinking iced Americano?"

"Refreshing," the man said.

"Are you going to film soon?"

"No, I'm reciting lines."

"Ah... I heard that you always memorized all your lines before joining the crew. Why didn't you prepare this time?"

"…The script has been changed."

Xiao Jin was grinding beans skillfully when he suddenly realized something and made a gloating expression: "That's right, with such a big incident, I'm afraid the original male supporting actor will have to be replaced again. It's normal to make changes to the script. I just thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

This series of conversations finally attracted Qu Wu's attention. She glanced at Xiao Jin and asked, "When did you become so familiar with him?"

"He worked with us yesterday, so why can't we get to know him better?" Xiao Jin said with a smile.

Qu Wu glanced at the man again: "Le Yue?"

"...It's me." Le Yue finally answered, paused and asked, "Can I still come to your store to rest tonight?"

"...Your director hasn't refunded the rent, so come if you want." Qu Wu said nonchalantly, and caught Ye Kong's hand that was picking mushrooms out, "Can you please stop being picky?"

Ye Kong: ...

The girl stared at her silently with her dark eyes.

After a few seconds, Qu Wu let go of her hand in dismay: "As you wish, Your Majesty."

She didn't notice the changing look and slightly raised eyebrows of the senior student beside her. She only heard her excited voice a moment later: "Boss Qu, you should be older than Junior Sister Ye Kong, right? How can a sister be so cowardly in front of her younger sister?"

"Am I a coward? This is clearly love." Qu Wu looked at Ye Kong with smiling eyes, "Isn't that right, Kong Kong?"

Ye Kong had long since learned to ignore this pervert and was drinking soup and eating noodles, but suddenly he heard the senior sister's plaintive request that gave him goosebumps: "Really? Then can you love someone more? What do you think of me? I'm not picky about food, I'm diligent, and I won't ignore you - most importantly, I'm definitely not as aloof as junior sister Ye Kong! I can chat with you all the time!"

Ye Kong: ...

There was a strange silence at the bar for a moment.

Xiao Jin, who was happily pouring ice cubes, almost spilled all the ice cubes, and the smile on his face froze in embarrassment.

The spoon gently touched the edge of the porcelain bowl, making a crisp sound.

Ye Kong slowly turned his head and looked at her.

The senior student seemed to be unaware of the strange atmosphere. After a moment, she turned to look at her and blinked when their eyes met. "What's wrong? Was I wrong?"

Ye Kong: ...

She tapped her fingers on the edge of the bowl, interrupting Qu Wu's words and asking, "What's your name?"

"I've been sitting next to you for several times, but you don't even know my name. It's really sad." The woman wiped her face pretending to be sad, then smiled and said, "My name is Ouyang Nian, and I'm destined to become a great psychology expert in the future."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" She looked confused and then asked, "Oh, you're asking me why I come to the store?"

She made a shy expression: "At first I approached you just for the discount card, but after meeting Boss Qu yesterday, I suddenly wanted to be her best friend. I know it's hard, but I will try my best!"

"..." Ye Kong looked at her pretending to raise her fist to cheer him up, with a very subtle expression on his face, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his features slightly, as if he had seen something ugly.

He wanted to say something, but stopped himself. After a while, he just sighed slightly.

Forget it. There are so many people around her with other purposes anyway. One more or one less won’t make much difference.

Ye Kong suddenly turned around and continued drinking his soup with a lack of interest.

Ouyang Nian was slightly startled when he saw her reaction, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he kept leaning over to ask, "Junior, I see that Boss Qu treats you very well, but you always seem to be indifferent to her, so you don't care if I snatch her away?"

Ye Kong: ...

Even someone as perverted as Qu Wu got goosebumps when he heard that. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ye Kong's chuckle.

The girl scooped a spoonful of soup and put it to her lips. She drooped her eyelids and said nonchalantly, "If you can take it away, just try."

She drank the soup, then simply picked up the bowl and drank it all.

"Tell Auntie, it's a bit salty."

She stood up and walked out, took out some change from the cash register, and went next door to buy bread.
