From the drawer, he took out the letters that Zhao Tianyu had written to her, as well as all of Zhao Tianyu's photographs. Zhou Manzhu placed them all into an iron box and locked it up.
As for Lin Xingyan's items, she stuffed them back into the drawer.
There were some things that, once flipped through, would make one's heart ache, so it was better not to see them.
Zhou Weiqing smiled faintly, his thoughts in a state of confusion. Twenty minutes had passed, and she was still carrying her bag as she hurried to the appointed location with Yu Chen.
The Sweet-cat caf?? was located on an old street that had been established only two years ago. The theme was cats, and Zhou Manzhen really liked cats and dogs. A few days ago, she saw this caf?? on Weibo and wanted to go take a look.
The moment they entered the coffee shop, the aroma of the coffee assaulted their nostrils. There were many different kinds of kittens lazily lying in various locations in the coffee shop, giving off a very warm and cozy feeling.
Zhou Manzhen spotted Yu Chen at first glance. He was sitting in a quiet and secluded corner with a Garfield cat in his arms. He was laughing and teasing the cat while tickling it.
Quietly walking to Yu Chen's side, Zhou Manquan placed her bag on the sofa opposite him. Only then did Yu Chen realize that she had been too focused on playing with the cat to notice Zhou Manquan's arrival.
"Xiaochun." Yu Chen stood up with a smile on his handsome face. The Garfield Cat in his arms nimbly hopped away from his embrace. Before it left, it let out a meowing sound as if it was saying goodbye to Yu Chen.
Zhou Manzhen couldn't help but laugh, "What a cute kitten."
"See you later." Yu Chen waved a hand at Garfield, appearing extremely childish.
"From the looks of it, you seem to be a cat breeding specialist." Zhou Manzhen said jokingly.
"Bingo, I once had a British Shorthair when I was in college, so I have some knowledge of cats' habits."
"And then?" Zhou Manzhen asked with great interest. She also liked kittens very much.
"Later on, when I was overseas, the British Shorthair was raised at a friend's house and accidentally lost it." Yu Chen said with a hint of regret in his voice, his eyes dimmed.
"Actually, small animals can give you a lot of joy, but I don't really want to raise them when I think that one day they will leave us." This was the reason why she had loved cats and dogs for so many years, yet had never raised one.
The lifespan of small animals was very short. Even humans would suddenly leave, let alone small animals.
"Yeah, you'll never know which came first." Yu Chen pursed his lips as he took a sip of the vanilla coffee in front of his.
Zhou Manzhu looked at the cup of hot brown sugar ginger tea in front of her. She smiled and asked, "Is this for me?"
"Yeah, you're pregnant and you can't drink coffee."
Zhou Manzhu held the cup with both hands and took a sip. After putting it down, she said, "Thank you."
"What would you like to eat?" With a warm expression, Yu Chen picked up the menu on the table, spread it out, and handed it over to Zhou Manzhen with a trace of gentleness in his eyes.
Zhou Manzhen shook her head, frowned and said, "No need, I just had breakfast at home."
Yu Chen smiled faintly, knowing clearly in her heart that the more courteous Zhou Manzhen was to her, the more it meant that she did not have him in her heart at all. Even so, he still wanted to be that flaming moth.
In this world, emotions were the most unreasonable, the most emotional, the most precious and the most selfish thing in the world. It was as if one was addicted to drugs and could not give up even if they wanted to.
Most of those who were secretly in love with each other were well aware that the majority of them wouldn't come to fruition, but they still stood there foolishly. Yu Chen was one of those people as well.
"Why are you wearing so little?" Are you cold? " Yu Chen stared at the blue woolen sweater that Zhou Manzun was wearing, his handsome eyes were filled with worry.
"It's not cold. It's you. It's almost winter, and you're still wearing two sets of clothes." Zhou Manzhen's gaze calmly swept over Yu Chen, only to see that he was wearing a white shirt and a black suit, looking extremely thin.
"As a man, why should I be afraid of cold? "I still remember when you were in high school and had a bad constitution. You often caught colds and the weather in A City was abnormally cold. You should be careful not to catch colds because you are pregnant now." A faint smile could be seen in his obsidian eyes.
"Alright, don't worry. I will definitely wear more ??" Zhou Manzhen suddenly bit her lips, lowered her head and took a sip of the Red Sugar Ginger tea. After a long while, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "I've resigned from my job in the hospital."
"It's time to resign. Pregnant women have a hard time anyway." The corners of Yu Chen's lips curled up into a bitter smile. Was there anything more lamentable in this world than seeing a beloved girl pregnant with someone else's child?
Yu Chen had been in love with Zhou Weiqing for many years, even longer than Xu Ningsheng. In all these years, Yu Chen had never been in a relationship, not even holding hands with a girl.
In the examination hall, many of his female colleagues were secretly in love with Yu Chen, but he acted as if he didn't know anything. He didn't say that he was being chased, but that he had his own heart.
"Next Friday, I'm going to get married. When the time comes... Will you come? " Zhou Manzhu furrowed her brows as she carefully said those words, afraid that she would hurt Yu Chen.
Yu Chen pursed his lips as his brows furrowed deeper than Zhou Manzhu's. He felt an uneasiness in his heart. So fast, she was actually going to get married!
"Come, of course I'll come. How can I not come, my most beloved one ??" It's great that your junior is getting married. Don't worry, your senior will definitely give you a big red packet. " Yu Chen placed his right hand on his forehead, gently smoothing out his wrinkled eyebrows. His lips curled up into a gentle smile, as he spoke with a tinge of sadness in his voice.
Zhou Manzhu laughed, her face as bright as the sun was filled with warmth. "Alright, then it's a deal."
It was great that Yu Chen was here to attend her wedding ceremony. Upon hearing his 100% certainty, Zhou Weiqing heaved a sigh of relief.
"I wish you happiness in advance." Wu Chen's heart ached. He stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Manzhen's hand, but after some thought, he decided against it and decided not to cross the line.
"Alright, I also wish senior to meet true love soon." Zhou Man smiled with a hint of apology on her face.
It wasn't that she didn't understand Yu Chen's feelings for her, but that she couldn't respond to his words. Her feelings were just too tyra
ical.
"I will." In his heart, he was thinking that even if he were to be in a relationship in the future, the person he would be looking for would definitely be someone like Zhou Manzhen.
Bright, tough, independent, standing, beautiful, kind, as if she had all the virtues of the world.
