Xu Xiaoxiao gracefully raised her slender wrist and her eyes gently fell on the exquisite watch inlaid with sparkling diamonds and emitting charming light.

This was a gift from Fu Yanchen to her recently. It’s a limited edition and it’s said there’s only one in the world.

The hands on the dial moved slowly, indicating that it was still early. The faint morning light shone down, as if covering this new day with a soft and warm gauze, like a beautiful overture slowly playing.

She frowned slightly, thinking secretly about the next arrangements.

Since there was still plenty of time, she might as well enjoy a delicious breakfast first and then go to the coffee shop. Anyway, with Sister Na in charge, she didn't have to worry.

In this way, you can cleverly avoid the surging crowds in the early morning and enjoy the rare quietness and tranquility.

Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, the complicated entanglements that happened between her and Fu Yanchen yesterday quietly surged into her mind from the bottom of her heart as if out of control.

Recalling the scene of their fierce quarrel and Fu Yanchen's eyes full of pain and helplessness, she couldn't help but sigh softly, muttering silently in her heart: "Xue'er's departure must not be Yanchen's own intention... Alas, think about it carefully, what I did yesterday was indeed a bit too much."

Thinking of this, a trace of regret gradually crept onto her beautiful face.

Thinking of this, her slender jade-like fingers gently tapped on the screen of her mobile phone, as if every touch carried endless thoughts and emotions.

As the fingers moved, the number that was so familiar yet seemed a little strange because no one had contacted the number for a long time was dialed.

However, what came from the other end of the phone was not the warm voice she expected, but a cold busy tone. This busy tone was like an invisible wall that separated her from the other party.

Fu Yanchen did not answer the call. Perhaps he was immersed in his busy work at the moment, or there were other important things that occupied all his attention, so that he could not be distracted to respond to the call.

Despite this, the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly, outlining a faint smile.

There was no complaint or dissatisfaction in that smile, but rather a sense of relief.

She thought to herself: "I guess he is really busy now. After all, everyone has his own life and responsibilities. It is impossible for him to respond to my call anytime and anywhere."

This understanding gradually calmed her originally lost heart.

Since I can't contact him for the time being, let's put this matter aside for now.

She told herself that some things are like aged wine, which needs time to slowly settle before emitting the most mellow aroma.

So she stopped dwelling on it and went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window onto the dining table, Xu Xiaoxiao was already sitting there, enjoying the delicious food.

After a simple breakfast, she went to her own coffee shop.

The moment you open the door, a rich aroma of coffee hits you in the face, making you feel particularly comfortable.

The lighting in the store is very soft, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky, intertwined with the warm sunshine just rising outside the window, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

After looking around, she quickly spotted her good friend Nan Weiwei.

I saw Nan Weiwei sitting in the corner, looking relaxed and contented, with a cup of steaming coffee in front of her, and she seemed to be enjoying this moment of peace and quiet.

Xu Xiaoxiao was about to open her pink lips and was about to ask Nan Weiwei about her recent life. But who would have thought that Nan Weiwei's eagle-like eyes would immediately catch the slightest change on her face, and she spoke before him at lightning speed:

"Oh my, Xiaoxiao, you didn't do anything sneaky last night, did you? Look at the two big dark circles under your eyes, they are even darker than those of the national treasure giant panda! And your eyes are swollen like two peaches, could it be that you secretly drank too much water last night, and then accidentally got swollen under the bright moonlight?"

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, as if she had been cast under a spell and couldn't move.

In her eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, a few traces of doubt and confusion flashed quickly at this moment. Her two curved eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she was silently asking herself in her heart:

"Do I really look that bad? How could I be seen at once?"

After a while, she shook her head slightly, forced a bitter smile, and slowly replied, "Weiwei, what weird ideas and logic do you have? I just didn't get enough rest last night. Where do you get so many weird guesses from?"

After seeing the other party's reaction, Nan Weiwei's smile became brighter and brighter, just like the most beautiful flower blooming in spring, exuding charming charm.

There was a hint of subtle mockery in her star-like eyes, but at the same time, there was also a hint of concern.

She patted the man's shoulder gently and said softly, "Okay, don't be so nervous. I'm just joking with you. You look like you must have something important in your heart. Come here, sit over here and tell me everything that's bothering you. Who knows, I can give you some advice and share your worries!"

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly and slowly lowered her head. Her long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, covering up the sadness surging in her eyes.

In a soft voice, almost whispering, she confided to Nan Weiwei: "Weiwei, the lovely little Pomeranian, Xueer, who I have been taking good care of, has left me."

As he spoke, a faint, imperceptible tremor quietly emerged.

The bright smile that was originally on Nan Weiwei's lips suddenly froze the moment she heard the news.

She widened her eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao in disbelief, as if she wanted to find even the slightest hint of a joke in the other person's expression.

However, when she saw Xu Xiaoxiao's sad look, her heart sank.

"What? How is this possible? When I went to look for Asu a few days ago, I saw Xue'er. She was still so lively and active, jumping around happily! She played with me for an entire afternoon. How could she suddenly... just leave us without any warning? This is really too hard to accept!"

Nan Weiwei's voice unconsciously rose an octave, her words filled with shock and disbelief.

As she spoke, she couldn't help shaking her head, as if trying to dispel the heaviness brought about by the sudden bad news.

Then, Nan Weiwei slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to breathe all the tranquility and peace around her into her lungs.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again, and her gaze fell gently and firmly on Xu Xiaoxiao's tear-stained face.

Then, Nan bit her lip lightly, as if she was choosing her words carefully, and then she said in a voice several times softer than usual: "Xiaoxiao, I know you must be feeling very sad right now, but please listen to me. In fact, the lives of small animals are indeed shorter than those of humans. This is an unchangeable law of nature. So, when one day they have to leave us, although it will make people feel extremely sad and reluctant, we must also try to accept this reality."

Having said that, Nan Weiwei paused for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and continued to comfort her:

"But you must believe that Xue'er was very, very happy during the days she was by your side! Because you gave her endless love and care, and this kind of warmth is the most precious gift for any little life. And even if she has left this world now, I think she must have left with satisfaction and happiness. After all, she knows clearly that no matter when and where you are, you will always love her deeply."

As Xu Xiaoxiao listened to Nan Weiwei's words, her eyes reddened slightly and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that Nan Weiwei was right. Although Xue'er had left, her place in her heart would never change.

She nodded slightly, a grateful smile on her lips.

Xu Xiaoxiao forced a smile with difficulty, and that smile seemed to be bent by an invisible burden. Despite this, she still tried to use this smile to cover up the sadness in the depths of her eyes that had not yet dissipated.

She took a deep breath, as if to bury all the pain deep in her heart, and then said casually:

"Okay, Weiwei, you really don't have to worry about me! Do you think I'm that fragile? Give me a few days, and I'll definitely be able to adjust. Besides, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the store, so I have to hurry over to get busy. You, don't just sit here, you're no longer an employee of my store, how dare I ask you for help casually, haha..."

At the end, Xu Xiaoxiao gave two dry laughs.

When Nan Weiwei heard this, her big, lively eyes blinked playfully a few times, a bright smile formed on the corners of her mouth, and she said in a delicate voice, "Hehe, I got it, my big boss! Don't worry, I'll run away right away and definitely won't cause any trouble to you, old man!"

After saying that, he stuck out his tongue mischievously.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she changed the subject and said, "Oh, by the way, big boss, don't forget what we agreed to do tonight - let's go check on Lu Feng and Xiao Mei together. Oh, it's interesting just thinking about it. I wonder how Xiao Mei is doing in the hospital these days? I guess she must have gained a lot of weight!"

After saying that, he started to chuckle.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled at Nan Wei and nodded gently, and a warm feeling instantly surged in her heart.

At such a special moment, having good friends by your side is really a great comfort and support.

Then, her voice, as gentle and melodious as a nightingale, rang out, and she responded softly:

"Okay, no problem! Please be patient, I will close the store and deal with the trivial matters at hand, and then I will go to the destination with you without stopping. Hehe, having you accompany me all the way, my originally heavy mood has instantly become as if it was illuminated by the warm spring sun, and it has become extremely relaxed and happy!"

Nan Weiwei smiled and slowly walked to Xu Xiaoxiao's side. He raised his hand gently and patted her slightly thin shoulders tenderly.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with encouragement and unwavering support for Xu Xiaoxiao. She said softly, "Silly girl, the road of life is long and rugged, but there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. No matter when or where, as long as I am by your side, you will never feel lonely and helpless. Well, see you tonight!"

After saying that, Nan turned around slightly and walked away with light but firm steps.

Xu Xiaoxiao was left alone standing quietly in the coffee shop, looking at Nan Weiwei's back getting farther and farther away, her eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.

She silently said in her heart: "Xue'er, I hope you are well in that distant heaven. Don't worry, I will try my best to be strong and bravely face all the difficulties and setbacks in life."

In the afternoon, the sunlight is no longer as gentle as it was in the morning. Instead, it is a bit hot, shining on the glass windows of the coffee shop.

Xu Xiaoxiao was busy sorting out the sundries in the store when her phone suddenly vibrated. She followed the sound and saw a message from Fu Yanchen: "Xiaoxiao, I have a meeting this morning. Why are you calling me? Is there something wrong?"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at this belated reply and couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

It's been several hours now. Even if it was urgent, it would have been too late by now.

She sighed softly, her fingertips quickly jumped on the screen, and she simply replied with two words: "It's okay!"

Just after sending it, Fu Yanchen's message popped up again: "Nothing? That means you missed me!"

When Xu Xiaoxiao saw this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she muttered to herself, "This old peacock is really narcissistic."

She wanted to reply with something, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need to get entangled with this guy, so she simply ignored him and continued to concentrate on the work in her hands.

As for Fu Yanchen, seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao no longer replied, he felt inexplicably disappointed.

He stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, unable to look away, thinking to himself: "Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about? Do I really hate you so much? Or...?"
