After rebirth, I was hugged and kissed by a crazy boss

Rhinoki Cafe.

Yan Qing sat by the window with his eyes lowered, gently stirring the coffee on the table, his expression gloomy.

“Your mousse cake.”

The waiter looked at her carefully and placed another dessert on the tray in front of Yan Qing.

"Our store manager said that this macaron is a gift for you."

"……Thanks."

Yan Qing subconsciously looked towards the front desk, but saw that there was no one there.

"Miss, please don't be offended. You look very much like a regular customer of our store before...even the coffee and dessert you ordered are exactly the same."

The clerk smiled politely and sounded apologetic.

"The store manager also said that if you come again in the future, you will get a 20% discount on your purchases."

Yan Qing also smiled when he heard this.

"What if... I am the regular customer you mentioned?"

"Don't be ridiculous."

The clerk seemed amused by her, then shook his head, with a flash of sadness and regret in his eyes.

"That lady... has passed away in a car accident. She loved coming to the store and ordering espresso and mousse cake. Sometimes she would bring her violin with her. Sorry, I talk too much. Please don't mind."

After that, he put away the tray and left.

The aroma of coffee drifted into his nose along with the hot steam. Yan Qing cut a piece of cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Xiao Di had repeatedly warned her not to consume caffeine or alcohol, as these substances could easily stimulate her nerves and cause her heart rate to beat too fast or she could not stop coughing.

The mousse cake still tastes the same as before, sweet and delicate.

But things have changed and people have changed, and those intoxicating happy times have become nothing but memories.

……

At this time, a brightly painted rally car stopped at the door of the cafe, and a girl dressed in dark style hurriedly got out of the car.

When pedestrians on the roadside saw this scene, their eyes widened in surprise at first, then they quickly looked away, and finally walked away in a hurry with their heads down, as if they were afraid of being looked at by her for even more time.

No wonder.

This girl has straight black hair with bangs, and neatly trimmed hair hanging straight down her head.

This was the most well-behaved hairstyle, but she wore heavy smoky makeup, black eyeshadow with black-based metallic lip makeup, and even her nails were dyed black.

There seemed to be an eyebrow stud on her brow bone, and metal earrings and a silver spider earring inlaid with black gemstones on her ear bones.

She was wearing black leather boots, black shorts with rivets, a white T-shirt and a leather vest also decorated with rivets. A leather choker hung around her white neck, and she exuded a rebellious temperament that kept strangers away.

What attracted people's attention the most was her exposed right arm - the muscle lines were extremely smooth and graceful, and there was a three-headed hellhound tattooed in ink style on it, which was so lifelike that people were afraid to get close to it.

Obviously, the girl was used to the looks from others. When she looked up after getting off the bus, she saw Yan Qing sitting by the window.

My pupils suddenly contracted and my mind went blank.

"Qingqing!"

Through the transparent glass, she waved her hands vigorously, but the next second she covered her mouth and nose——

His eyes were red and welling with tears, and he almost cried.

She took several deep breaths, tremblingly took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then pushed the door and walked into the cafe. She came to Yan Qing, her eyes red and she asked fiercely:

"Where have you been? Why did you take so long to contact me? You know, you know..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually weakened and turned into uncontrollable sobs.

"Do you know how long I have been looking for you..."

She lay on the table and started crying.

"You big liar, you're not dead... Do you know how sad I am..."

At this moment, tears were also flashing in Yan Qing's eyes, and emotions of joy and sadness were surging in his heart.

Her lips trembled for a long time, and finally she uttered the first words after a long separation:

"...Qingyan, I'm sorry."

Gu Qingyan had already stopped crying, but when she heard these words, her throat choked up again.

She reached out and gently pinched Yan Qing's face, just like she used to.

"Why apologize? I don't blame you."

She turned her head away seemingly proudly, but in fact it was to prevent the tears from falling.

"Look at you, how come you're so thin... You weren't this thin before... You must have suffered some hardship and injustice somewhere..."

"No, I'm fine."

Yan Qing grinned and tried to smile at her, but the smile was too pale and weak, making him look even weaker.

"Don't cry. If you cry your face will look like a little cat."

"Don't try to trick me." Gu Qingyan finally smiled and said, "My cosmetics are waterproof—"

As her reason gradually returned, she couldn't help but ask:

"Qingqing, it's been so long, where have you been? Why is there no news at all?"

Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, and did not answer her question immediately, but asked back:

"Qingyan, everyone thought that our whole family died in a car accident... Why do you think I'm still alive?"

Gu Qingyan was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she began to slowly recall the past days filled with grief and confusion.

"At first, like everyone else, I couldn't contact you. The school also published an obituary, and there were newspapers... I also thought you were gone."

"I miss you so much. I moved out of the school. I can't help it. Whenever I walk on campus, I can't help but think of the time when we were together. I feel very sad."

"Later, I went to compete abroad and won the championship. After returning home, I felt so stupid. I only thought about you in my heart, but didn't even go to sweep your grave, chat with you, or give you flowers... I asked Pei Ji, and he said you were buried in the Imperial Water Garden, so I went there."

Pei Ji was a student of Yan Qing's father.

Yan Qing remembered that he came from a poor family, but he was very intelligent and studied hard, so he had close contacts with the Yan family, and would come to ask questions from time to time and have a meal with them.

"But I only saw the tombstones of your father, mother, and brother... I thought, maybe they were buried separately? But I searched the entire Imperial Water Garden and didn't see yours."

"I suddenly thought, could it be that you are not dead at all? If you are alive, I want to see your body. If you are dead, I want to see your body. I just don't believe that a living person can disappear out of thin air."

"I went to a lot of underground places that I had never been to before, and tried to spend money to buy information about you on the black market, but to no avail."

Gu Qingyan's smile was a little bitter.

"Qingqing, do you know that I have hacked into almost all the surveillance networks in the imperial capital?"

"As long as your face appears under the camera, I can locate you immediately and pick you up... But I searched for a long time and there was no news at all."

“I almost gave up.”

Yan Qing also smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "Thank you for your hard work."

Although he doesn't look like a good person, Gu Qingyan is a top student in the computer department.

She could hack into all surveillance networks if she wanted to.

Unfortunately, Cloud View Garden is an exception.

Fu Wangjin arranged for top hackers to build a security system, and even Gu Qingyan would have no idea how to start with it.

"However, I used your appearance to accidentally find other images."

Gu Qingyan seemed to remember something and quickly took out his wallet and started searching.

After a while, she pushed a blurry photo in front of Yan Qing.

"The image quality is too blurry, and it only takes a split second... This is what I've already processed."

Yan Qing glanced at it with doubt -

In an instant, her eyes widened, and she stood up with a "swoosh". The chair fell behind her with a "clatter", making a crisp sound.

This photo was probably taken by a surveillance camera in the corridor of a hospital.

Several nurses and a doctor were pushing a bed forward. The young man on the bed had a pale face and his eyes were closed...

"elder brother!"

Without time to think, Yan Qing shouted out.
