It was rare for Su Yue to wake up before Chen Ziming.
Perhaps it was because she had been too tired the past week; it was already past eight, and she was still sound asleep.
She quietly got out of bed, tidied herself up, and tiptoed out, planning to go to the mall in the residential area to buy breakfast.
It seemed she had never really explored the place during the day before. As she walked, she observed her surroundings.
There were only about six buildings in total, with spacious common areas. The first floors all had small yards, and the greenery was excellent, with even a small stream winding through the lawns and shade.
In the heart of the city, where every inch of land was precious, a residential area with such an environment was truly enviable.
There were directional signs along the way pointing to the mall, so it wasn't hard to find.
She glanced at the few shops on the first floor and finally chose the same place Chen Ziming had taken her to for thick toast last time.
The shop also offered other types of sandwiches, as well as burgers and salads.
She chose two steak burgers.
"Here is your queue number. Please wait a moment," said the waitress with a smile, handing her a card.
"Thank you~" she replied with a smile, turned, and prepared to wait in the waiting area.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into someone behind her.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" she apologized quickly, then looked up and saw a tall boy.
Zhou Mu had been ordered by his mother to buy breakfast. He had just finished his college entrance exams, had stayed up all night with friends celebrating his eighteenth birthday yesterday, and was extremely reluctant to get up so early, but his mother's authority was too great; he had to obey.
He had originally intended to buy Chinese breakfast.
However, he saw a girl at the entrance of this breakfast shop who was very, very, very beautiful.
As if by some strange impulse, he followed her inside and queued up behind her.
He was tall, and from his angle, he could see her long, dark, and smooth hair. She was wearing a slightly tight t-shirt and a pair of looser jeans.
He estimated her height to be around 1.7 meters. Not only did she have a good figure, but her posture was also very upright.
Her skin was fair and delicate, and her waist seemed to be perfectly graspable.
The young man's heart was suddenly stirred.
And because he was standing a bit too close, when she turned around, she unexpectedly bumped into him.
The moment she looked up to apologize, she also fell directly into his heart.
To the extent that he forgot how to speak...
This boy in front of her was very strange. He was the one standing too close, causing the collision, and when she apologized, he stood there like a block of wood, saying nothing.
Seeing this, Su Yue no longer paid him any mind, walked around him, and went to wait for her order.
"Sir, aren't you ordering?" After calling him twice, the waitress noticed he remained unresponsive, only staring at the girl who had just left. She couldn't help but feel helpless and called out to him again.
Su Yue's gaze was also drawn by the voice. He happened to see the boy's ardent gaze.
Zhou Mu quickly withdrew his gaze, awkwardly took a step forward, and said softly, "Just give me the same meal as the girl just now."
Su Yue paused for a moment, then a thought formed in her mind.
That look was too familiar.
Could it be that she had captivated him with her beauty again?
Coincidentally, her order was ready. She took the bag and turned to leave, not glancing at the boy again.
If she had encountered such a handsome younger guy in the past, she might have bothered to interact with him. But now, living with Chen Ziming, even if she maintained the last shred of her composure and verbally refused to be his girlfriend,
She still felt it would be disloyal if she acted carelessly.
She wouldn't dare to cheat on him.
"Excuse me, just now..."
Just as she stepped out of the restaurant, the boy suddenly caught up to her.
She stopped and looked at him.
A faint blush appeared on the young man's face.
"Was I very rude just now? I didn't mean to be silent, it's just... you are too beautiful, I couldn't react." he explained hastily.
"Mm, and then?" Su Yue smiled slightly, created some distance between them, and asked politely.
"Uh... there's no 'then'..."
A beautiful woman was captivating in every movement, even more so when she moved. Zhou Mu wanted to directly ask for her name and where she lived, but the words got stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.
Su Yue did not intend to pay him any more attention and turned to leave.
But her phone suddenly rang.
