I was spotted by the heroines while doing the quick-travel mission.

The shopping mall on this side was more crowded than Yang Liu had imagined. As soon as she arrived, she saw people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Wen Ya had to float up into the sky, away from the crowd, so as not to block her view.

The weekend was crowded, but fortunately, the two of them were not separated. After they squeezed through the crowds and entered the mall, they finally got some cool air.

“Huh, why are there so many people?” Yang Liu muttered as she pushed the door and entered a cafe, intending to take a break. There were too many people and she didn’t want to compete with parents with their children for a table.

"It's like this on weekends. There are so many entertainment venues here, and there are a lot of people on weekends."

Wen Ya came out from the glass wall with half of her body stuck outside. She tilted her head and leaned in front of Yang Liu. Yang Liu subconsciously leaned back to avoid her, then realized that she couldn't touch her at all, so she sat up straight and fanned herself with the menu.

"It's too hot. Let me order a cup of coffee and a meal on my phone so we can take it home. I just took a look and McDonald's is packed with people. I don't think we can squeeze in with them."

Yang Liu tapped on the cappuccino on the menu to signal the waiter to write it down. Then, under his puzzled gaze, she opened her phone, called up the ordering app, searched for the location, and clicked into the store. She flipped through the list and asked Wen Ya what she wanted to eat. The waiter looked as if he had seen a ghost and hesitated whether to leave. Yang Liu realized that the person was still standing there and suddenly reacted. He tapped the Bluetooth headset on his ear, made a phone call gesture, and waved his hand. The waiter then took the menu and left.

"I was almost considered a psychopath."

Yang Liu patted his chest with lingering fear, then suddenly released his strength, leaned back in the chair and took a deep breath.

"Forget that I'm dead and people can't see me. Next time I'll be quiet and won't talk to you outside."

Wen Ya sat opposite Yang Liu, wandering back and forth in boredom. Yang Liu felt it was weird and magical to see Wen Ya's translucent body moving back and forth on the wooden backrest of the chair.

"You have to wait twenty minutes."

Yang Liu exited the software and put his phone upside down on the table, drinking lemonade boredly. Wen Ya was also bored and looked at Yang Liu several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Just say it, I'm listening. I can just use hand gestures when I need a response."

When Wen Ya heard this, she sat up straight immediately, leaned her elbows on the table, supported her cheeks, smiled sweetly, and then told Yang Liu about her childhood.

"My first date with Cheng Qi was also here. We didn't have much money at the time. When our two families were young, the rich raised us with resources while the poor raised us with children."

Yang Liu became interested when he heard that. He pricked up his ears and raised his eyelids to look at Wen Ya. When Wen Ya saw that Yang Liu was interested, he shrugged like an ancient storyteller, cleared his throat and clapped his hands on the table. Yang Liu, who was quiet, felt a knocking sound in his head.

"We were young then, about seventeen or eighteen, and it was also the time for the college entrance exam. In order to prevent Cheng Qi and I from having fun, the money we had must be useful, not too much, not too little, just the right amount, with a little extra from time to time. The two of us saved for a long time, and it was just enough for us to secretly buy a four-inch cake for more than thirty yuan in the mall near the school under the pretext of looking for information, and hide in the corridor to celebrate our first date.

Yang Liu was a little shocked. Neither of their families were the lowest class who needed to live frugally to survive. Judging from the control of money and time, the environment that Wen Ya had lived in since childhood seemed to be very depressing. However - Yang Liu looked up at Wen Ya. She had a sweet smile on her face, without any sadness or other bad emotions.

"When did you two meet?"

Yang Liu asked, and Wen Ya briefly paused in contemplation for a moment.

"A long time ago, kindergarten? Or even earlier. Our two families were separated by a wall, and we knew each other. We played together since we were young."

Yang Liu nodded and gave the most objective evaluation.

"It's rare. In this world where people are so cold and indifferent, it's really rare to have a few people who always accompany you and care about you."

Wen Ya rarely answered immediately. She seemed to choke for a moment and stared out the window with a dull look. A familiar figure appeared in the crowd for a moment and was quickly submerged. Wen Ya stared at the crowded place and nodded in a daze.

"Yes, it's good to have someone thinking about you."

Yang Liu didn't say anything else. The waiter just brought the coffee. The latte art was a little twisted due to the slight shaking. Yang Liu picked up her phone and took two pictures. She was about to send them on WeChat. After a pause, she put her phone down again, picked up the spoon, poked a hole in the pattern and stirred it. Steam rose up, and the unique bitter aroma of coffee mixed with the taste of milk lingered at her nose. Yang Liu picked up the coffee and blew on it, took a sip, and asked the waiter to bring some sugar packets.

"Every time I drink coffee, I wonder what the difference is between this thing and traditional Chinese medicine."

While stirring the coffee, Yang Liu tore open the sugar packet and sprinkled it into the coffee. After stirring it for full blending, she took another sip. Wen Ya was watching with envy on the side, and when she saw Yang Liu's brows relaxed, she asked anxiously.

"how is it going?"

"It's still a bit bitter, but it's okay. If I weren't so sleepy that I wanted to knock my head on the ground, and this is the only place in the entire mall where people can stand, I probably wouldn't have come in."

Yang Liu rolled her eyes and looked a little dead. When a celebrity was in a hurry to do business, she drank weight loss coffee desperately. It went down in one gulp from her mouth. Apart from the bitterness, there was no good taste worth remembering for her. Now she spent money to taste it carefully. Well, it was still very unpalatable.

Wen Ya opened her mouth and nodded blankly. Seeing that Yang Liu seemed to not like this thing, she stopped asking and instead started thinking about the McDonald's that was being made.

"Has anyone called their number over there? How long will it take? I want to go back and watch the show."

Wen Ya seemed to be a bit of a homebody. She preferred staying at home in a comfortable environment rather than outside. She was bored and shouted that she wanted to leave. Yang Liu looked at her phone and made sure that the coffee was ready before packing up and getting up. She looked at the coffee on the table that she had only taken two sips of, gritted her teeth and drank some lemon water in one gulp to clear her mouth before leaving the coffee shop with Wen Ya.

"Hello, please pick up your meal."

Yang Liu stood in front of the McDonald's counter and showed the pickup code. After getting the packaged McDonald's, she left the crowded mall without hesitation.

The moment Yang Liu squeezed out of the crowd, he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt like he was alive. He stood by the roadside and paused for a while. Wen Ya watched for a long time. Just as she was about to urge Yang Liu to leave, she saw Yang Liu suddenly turn around and catch the person who was hiding behind the car with half of his body exposed.

"Mr. Cheng, it is illegal to follow someone without permission."

As soon as Yang Liu finished speaking, the person behind the car came out. He looked haggard, with his hands clasped, and looked at Yang Liu awkwardly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
