Chapter 10: Blue Roses
The gentle sister with a good appearance and figure was very popular with young people. Since the opening of the shop, many young people have confessed to He Yu. Sometimes there would even be two people who came to confess per week. The students, full of vitality and energy, made He Yu feel troubled.
For a shop to make money, it cannot afford to offend customers, and so she could only handle each confession in a roundabout and peaceful way. Some people who were thin-skinned stopped after one try, while others grew more frustrated and courageous after each rejection.
Chasing people also tested the person’s emotional intelligence, how well a person can understand the other’s preferences. He Yu always preferred to be low-key, so she liked those ordinary and quiet confessions compared to those high-profile gifts and crazy affections.
Last Saturday, a boy came to the store with a large bouquet of purple tulips. He Yu told the other party that she was in a relationship, but he didn’t her because Ye Xun was not there, and thought it was just an excuse. He happened to come again twice after that, and coincidentally, Ye Xun was there for those two times.
On the surface, Ye Xun seemed not to react, but her eyes would go dull for a moment, and her body would exude an aura of pressure. Although she didn’t say or do anything, she cared.
He Yu felt helpless. The boy was still persistent. She repeatedly refused, but it didn’t work, and the customers just watched. Ye Xun’s method of solving the problem was relatively simple and straightforward, walking past the boy, and ordered at the bar. She would not give the boy a single chance to talk to He Yu, and finally, the boy became frustrated and left.
Later, Ye Xun would corner her in the restroom and kiss her fiercely, but when walking home, she would say nothing. He Yu thought she was angry, but Ye Xun never expressed it.
In short, it made her feel awkward.
Whenever Ye Xun seemed to feel jealous, He Yu tried to calm her down and soothe her feelings. Like making this cake just for her. Or else, it would be another awkward night.
She opened the cake’s packaging and felt that this situation was a little funny, and could not help the corners of her mouth from rising.
Ye Xun glanced at her, her expression moving ever so slightly, picked up the Tiramisu and ate it quietly, then sipped her drink, and whispered, “It’s ok.”
He Yu smiled and went back to work.
At nine, the two went to the newly opened Japanese restaurant and returned home at nearly ten-thirty.
He Yu grabbed her and kissed her lips, then let go: “Go to bed early and come over for breakfast tomorrow morning.”
Ye Xun hooked her hands around He Yu’s waist and said, “Ok.”
Ye Xun’s strength didn’t loosen, and she wasn’t letting He Yu leave.
He Xun didn’t rush her and hugged her back while Ye Xun leaned forward and kissed her cheek, before letting her go in.
In the middle of the night, a light rain drizzle, but He Yu slept all night peacefully, and by the next day, the sky was blue and clear.
Ye Xun did not have any classes today, so He Yu got up at eight to make breakfast. Just after she was done, she was about to wake Ye Xun and call her over when the doorbell rang.
She took off her apron and opened the door. A bouquet of blue roses appeared before her, and she froze. Before she could do anything, the Ye Xun grabbed her with one hand and led her inside.
Because she lived alone, He Yu had only worn a loose blouse, which was convenient for the other party.
“Morning.” Ye Xun kissed her chin, lips, and went down to explore the valley between He Yu’s breasts.
He Yu could not help but inhale a sharp breath and stuttered as she said: “How early… when did you… when…?”
“Not too long ago.” Ye Xun pressed her against the wall and lifted her blouse. He Yu raised her hands to Ye Xun’s shoulders, stepped in a little, and leaned towards her involuntarily.
