Chapter 22
Big Xie: “…”
There were still many places in B city for him to go even if he couldn’t return to the Xie family. Why did he have to stay in such an inconspicuous cafe?
He wondered for a moment, and then he saw his boss lower his gaze and start playing with the Rubik’s Cube in his hand.
Scrambling it again, then solving it, and scrambling it once more after solving it.
Big Xie understood.
The reason for staying here was to play with the Rubik’s Cube without any restrictions…
Just as he was thinking, Xie Xuan suddenly spoke, “Oh, by the way…”
“Yes, boss!”
Xie Xuan stopped what he was doing and glanced at the neatly stacked takeaway paper cups on the counter. “How do you make that Americano?”
Yesterday and today, whether for dine-in or takeout, Little Marshmallow had ordered Americano.
Big Xie enjoyed alcohol but didn’t overdo it.
Moreover, he was also an expert in tea and coffee.
“Americano?” Big Xie was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Xie Xuan let out a long ‘ah’. “I suddenly thought it might be interesting to learn how to make a cup of Americano coffee.”
Big Xie: “…”
You don’t have to do it yourself even if you want to drink Americano. Just give me an order, and I’ll prepare as many cups as you want.
Now he wants to learn it, could it be…
He… is… not… needed?
Big Xie panicked. “B-Boss, I haven’t done anything wrong recently.”
Xie Xuan: “…”
It seems that I punished him quite severely last time.
“Forget it,” Xie Xuan waved his hand. “Let’s settle the painting matter first.”
Big Xie breathed a sigh of relief. “Yes, boss.”
However, three seconds later, his heart, which had just returned to its normal position, jumped back into his throat.
He heard Xie Xuan say, “Write a detailed report later on how to make that coffee and give it to me. I’ll learn by reading.”
Big Xie: “…”
Was it too late to retreat to guarding the winery now?
…
“Don’t miss out on this opportunity! Premium handsome guy and young fresh meat, 600 yuan per session, 1,200 yuan for an all-nighter. It’s now or never. Want to have a sweet night? Contact us immediately!”
This was the text message that Lu Haiqiao received in the cafe just now.
It came from an unknown number and was signed ‘Sweetheart’.
Lu Haiqiao clicked her tongue in disdain and immediately called back.
The call was answered instantly.
Without waiting for the other person to speak, she spoke first, “Lu Xuege, that’s so boring.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a moment of hesitation from the person on the other end.
Then, Lu Xuege deliberately let out an elongated ‘Ah’ that entered her ear, “You’re the boring one. You always guess right every time. It’s not fun at all.”
Upon hearing this, she chuckled dryly.
Since the first time they played this game, his signature ‘Sweetheart’ had never changed. If she couldn’t even guess this, either the person on the other end was blind or dumb.
“Have you arrived in B City?” Lu Xuege could only be so audacious when he was out of his grandfather’s control.
“Oh, just arrived,” he replied. It seemed he was retrieving his luggage because there was a faint sound of suitcase wheels rolling from the other end.
Lu Haiqiao switched the call to her Bluetooth earphones and took out the iced Americano she had just bought from the paper bag. She inserted a straw and took a sip.
The unique rich bitterness of coffee passed through her throat, but after a few seconds, a distinct sweetness blossomed in her mouth, leaving an unforgettable aftertaste.
This taste… seemed to be different from the coffee yesterday.
