Opposite her sat a burly Uncle Tao. His burly body was embedded in the small leather seat, making him look like a giant bullied barbie.
In front of him was an untouched pink forest cake and a cup of Americano.
Uncle Tao did not like sweets, but he felt that sitting there like this would be taking advantage of the shop owner’s resources for nothing. Out of humanitarian reasons, he agreed to let Miss Haoxue order a piece of cake for him. He did not expect it to be a pink cake, which made him shrink back and not know how to eat it.
Ji Haoxue’s forehead was injured during the bar incident last time. Although the scabs had fallen off, there were still some white spots that had not yet recovered. She only used her fringe to cover them slightly.
After the previous incident, she temporarily stayed at her brother’s place since he was often not at home during the day. There was only the driver her grandfather assigned to her, Uncle Tao. And since they wrapped her head in gauze, she could not go out. The empty villa was undoubtedly the best place to let her imagination run wild.
On the first day, she was separated from that big brother; she missed him.
On the second day, she was still separated from that big brother. She missed him even more.
On the third day, she was still separated from that big brother. She missed him like crazy.
On the nth day, she was still separated from that big brother. She still missed him.
After removing the gauze, Ji Haoxue would everyday go to the dessert shop where she met that big brother. She believed their fate had not ended yet and that they would meet again.
It had been almost two weeks, but she’d never seen that big brother come to this shop again.
In the beginning, she was looking forward to it. But she gradually felt disheartened. However, when she thought of that big brother’s appearance, she felt as if strength had filled her entire body,
As such, Ji Haoxue sat there and waited every day. She waited until she was almost a stone.
Not far away, two employees secretly looked over and shook their heads with smiles. They looked helpless.
A wave of stomach protests sounded clearly. Uncle Tao’s old face turned embarrassed, and he quickly covered his stomach.
Ji Haoxue turned to look at him. Seeing that the cake in front of him was untouched, she couldn’t help but sigh slightly. “I’m sorry, Uncle Tao. You don’t seem to like sweet food.”
Uncle Tao smiled. “It’s okay, Miss. I’m not hungry.”
“Your stomach is already growling, yet you’re still saying that you’re not hungry…” Ji Haoxue said as she picked up her bag. “Let’s go. It’s already noon. Let’s go to King for steak.”
When he heard about the steak, Uncle Tao quickly nodded.
Jian Ai still remembered that the steak house she had eaten with Jiachi near Yizhong last time was very delicious. However, because she met Ji Haoyu on her first trip there, that steak house left a profound psychological shadow in her heart.
Therefore, Jian Ai chose a steak restaurant that Lin Yi recommended for her.
It was summer vacation. When they rushed to Haicheng District from South City, it was coincidentally mealtime. Even though this restaurant was of high quality, it was still crowded.
“We need to wait.” Jian Ai looked at Jian Yu and Jiachi and pursed her lips helplessly.
“What do you mean? Should we change to another restaurant?” Jian Yu looked at the two of them and asked.
“It’s so hot. I really don’t want to walk around. Let’s wait,” Jian Ai said as she sat down on the chair in the long corridor of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Jian Yu and Jiachi could only sit down.
Unexpectedly, before they could sit, a blue figure rushed up to them like the wind.
