Chapter 443: Chapter 442: (1 more update)

The next day, Xu Niannian arrived at the café early in the morning, accompanied by Hu Yue and Jin Yu.

However, Hu Yue followed her openly, while Jin Yu remained hidden in the dark.

Today, the business in the café was noticeably better than yesterday, and most of the customers were women.

Xu Niannian was somewhat distracted, occasionally glancing outside.

If Uncle Ye was truly Jin Yu’s arch-nemesis, that would be bad news for her.

In her past life, she did not interact much with Uncle Ye, who had always been mysterious, so her relationship with him wasn’t close.

But he had helped her, after all, and Uncle Ye could be considered the benefactor who changed her life.

She hoped that Ye Tian wasn’t the bad person Jin Yu had described.

People have their preferences, and their hearts tend to be biased.

Between Ye Tian and Jin Yu, Xu Niannian naturally leaned toward Jin Yu. If Ye Tian really was Jin Yu’s arch-nemesis, she would definitely stand on Jin Yu’s side.

But that would also make her feel uneasy.

She wondered if Uncle Ye would come today.

Xiaochun, seeing Xu Niannian constantly looking toward the door, asked her with a smile, "Boss, what are you looking at?"

"It’s nothing!" Xu Niannian shook her head and handed over the prepared milk tea to Xiaochun, "Take this to that customer over there."

She directed Xiaochun to a middle-aged woman at the back who had expressly requested hot milk tea, which needed to be freshly made.

Xiaochun, smiling, took the milk tea and delivered it to the customer.

Xu Niannian felt somewhat unsettled.

Soon, another wave of customers came in. Xiaochun and her two colleagues could handle them, so Xu Niannian was just in charge of taking the money.

The morning passed quickly, and Ye Tian didn’t come.

Xu Niannian didn’t know whether she felt relieved or somewhat disappointed.

Her disappointment stemmed from the fact that, with Ye Tian not coming, she couldn’t confirm whether or not the uncle who had helped her was really Jin Yu’s arch-nemesis.

Just when Xu Niannian thought Ye Tian wouldn’t come today, she heard Lili’s quietly excited voice.

"Boss, look, the handsome guy from yesterday is here again."

As she spoke, she tugged at Xu Niannian’s sleeve, unaware that her fingers, stained with milk tea, dirtied Xu Niannian’s white sleeve.

Xu Niannian instantly looked up.

Ye Tian appeared at the entrance, walking in leisurely, like a luminous body, attracting the gazes of everyone around him.

The customers in the café, both men and women, instinctively looked over at him.

As if accustomed to such attention, he walked straight to the counter without a sidelong glance.

"A cup of milk tea," he said with a polite smile.

Xu Niannian hesitated for a moment, nearly instinctively looking toward where Jin Yu was hidden.

"The same hot milk tea as before?" she asked.

"I’ll have a cold one today," he replied methodically, taking out a leather wallet and removing a ten-dollar bill.

"Keep the change."

Xu Niannian nodded and accepted the money.

After placing his order, Ye Tian found a random spot to sit down, still by the window—he seemed to prefer window seats.

Xu Niannian watched him turn his head to gaze outside as if something out there was drawing his attention.

She brought him a cup of iced milk tea.

This time he didn’t ask Xu Niannian to sit with him for a while.

So after delivering the milk tea, Xu Niannian returned to the counter.

Ye Tian had his back to her direction, unable to see her, and Xu Niannian, tilting her head, glanced outside the window for a moment.

Under a lush banyan tree in the distance, a hunched old man sat on the ground in tattered hemp clothes, seemingly enjoying the cool shade.

But beneath the brim of the old man’s hat, his eyes were black and profound, sharp as an eagle’s.

That was Jin Yu in disguise.

Xu Niannian gestured to Jin Yu to signal that the person she was talking about was Ye Tian, who had just interacted with her.

Jin Yu responded with a hand signal indicating he had received the message.

After he had locked onto the target, Xu Niannian stopped looking outside.

After a while, Ye Tian got up, apparently preparing to leave.

He first came to the counter. Having paid in advance, Xu Niannian thought he had another request.

"Is there anything else you need?" she asked, her demeanor neutral and polite.

Ye Tian’s gaze swept over her face as if inadvertently, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.

"One milk tea to go," he said.

"All right, please wait a moment," Xu Niannian turned and told Xiaochun, "One milk tea to go."

Packaging a milk tea was a quick job, and it was ready in no time.

Whether intentionally or not, when Xu Niannian handed over the milk tea, his fingers lightly brushed against hers.

The contact was brief and delicate. If Xu Niannian hadn’t been so sensitive, she definitely wouldn’t have noticed.

But it seemed like he hadn’t noticed.

Ye Tian left with the milk tea, and Xu Niannian noticed that Jin Yu’s figure was no longer beneath the nearby banyan tree.

She guessed that he might have followed after Ye Tian.

Jin Yu had told her not to leave the café rashly while he was not around.

So, even though Xu Niannian was anxious to know the answer, she didn’t rush out foolishly looking for Jin Yu.

Since she had been looking outside frequently, after Ye Tian left, Xiaochun thought she was looking at him.

She teased with a laugh, "Boss, were you watching Mr. Ye just now?"

Xiaochun was a very gossip-driven woman, Xu Niannian concluded.
