"Could you please stop following me?"

Along with the sound of the door opening came Qu Wu's irritable and slightly numb voice.

Before Ye Kong looked up, Le Yue and Xiao Jin looked over first.

The person who pushed the door open behind Qu Wu was the familiar senior schoolmate.

She looked around with her hands behind her back. "I didn't follow you. I went to the police station because I wanted to make a statement, and I came to the coffee shop because I wanted to drink coffee. Why did you say I was following you?"

The big eyes above the mask turned upwards and scanned the store that had obviously been slightly cleaned. His sight first fell on Le Yue who was picking up the last few pieces of debris. He turned his head and asked Xiao Jin who was wiping the table: "Hey, is this someone your boss hired? Why is she still..."

Before she uttered the three words "take care of things", she saw Ye Kong squatting in the corner and silently wiping the windows.

Everyone was stunned.

The senior student following behind her almost stepped on her heel, and finally stopped and raised her head: "What's wrong?"

Qu Wu ignored her and stared at Ye Kong's back as he was wiping the glass carefully. Then she silently picked up her phone, zoomed in, and took a few pictures from all angles.

She hasn't turned off the shutter sound yet.

There were a few clicking sounds, and it was hard for Ye Kong not to hear it.

She turned around and looked at him with a cold look in her eyes: "Are you looking for a fight?"

"Hey, it's been years since I last saw you working, let's commemorate this moment."

Qu Wu put away his phone, put it in the pocket of his denim jacket, strode over, and unceremoniously snatched the rag from Ye Kong's hand: "How can it be your turn to do these things?"

The woman smiled and pulled her up. She looked at her slender fingers that were covered with calluses from holding paintbrushes for so long and said, "Your hands are only suitable for holding paintbrushes and playing musical instruments. It's best not to get them wet."

Ye Kong: ...

Ye Kong pulled his hand back indifferently, and took back the rag. He squatted back to continue cleaning the glass, and said expressionlessly: "What kind of bloody drama have you watched recently?"

"It's not a play, it's a novel, about an artist's love." Qu Wu squatted down beside her, watching her clean the windows while chattering, "The heroine in the novel is a violinist. She fell in love with a domineering boss, but the boss ran away with the baby. The domineering boss searched for her for three years, and when he found her, he saw her serving dishes in a restaurant, so he hugged her and said these words - isn't it sweet?"

"Sometimes I really want to say some vicious words to you, but I hold back out of courtesy to my collaborators." Ye Kong said without turning his head.

"Isn't it because you love me that you hold back?" Qu Wu continued to laugh.

The way she squatted beside Ye Kong looked like a cheerful and beautiful large Samoyed, completely different from her previous unruly and aloof appearance. The senior schoolmate not far away was stunned by her appearance.

Snapped--

The sound of broken porcelain pieces shattering again in the bucket.

Then there was the sound of approaching footsteps.

Qu Wu turned around first, raised his eyelids, and saw a familiar face: "Why is it you?"

"After all, I am also responsible for the damage to your store," the man said, "but I can't afford to pay for it, so I can only use this method to compensate you."

He raised the bucket full of debris in his hand: "Do you have a mop? I can still mop the floor."

Qu Wu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the man from head to toe. Before he could say anything, the senior student over there suddenly came up a few steps and said, "There's me, there's me. I can help too, so you don't have to spend money on cleaning or something."

Qu Wu, who would kick flower pots and tables without hesitation during a fight, now carefully calculated the labor costs after hearing what was said.

After thinking for more than ten seconds, she nodded decisively: "Okay, don't refuse the hard labor that comes to your door."

She tilted her head to look at Xiao Jin who was still quietly eating melons: "Xiao Jin, take them to get the mop."

Not long after a few people started to get busy, the glass doors were pushed open one after another.

"Ye Kong, I heard that your store was smashed again?"

"What do you mean by her store? It's our store - have you forgotten that we have shares too?"

"That makes sense. Why does our store have so many disasters?"

Zhou Song and the others are here.

Ye Kong continued to clean the glass with a numb expression, as if he didn't hear anything. However, Qu Wu had already captured several people to work as laborers for him like a profiteer.

So the cleaning trio eventually became a cleaning seven.

After Lin Xinzhou learned the news from her cousin and hurried over to eat melons, they became a cleaning team of eight.

The messy and bleak coffee shop suddenly became lively.

A few people who came to watch the show got the information from Xiao Jin.

Tu Wan walked to Ye Kong with a rag in her hand and asked Qu Wu, "Why did you ask her to do the work?"

"You don't know this, right? Our Eleven is also very hardworking sometimes." Qu Wu said, "She wants to work, and we can't stop her."

Tu Wan looked at Ye Kong's slowly moving back, bent down to look at her, and after the girl dodged in disgust, she said, "I'll help you wipe it? Don't move."

Ye Kong: ...

"Get lost." Ye Kong was so disgusted by their disgusting behavior that his face showed great disdain.

Tu Wan smiled, squatted down and wiped with her.

"Hey, are you a big star?" Lin Xinzhou held the broom and approached the man in the baseball cap mopping the floor.

The man nodded to her politely and then shook his head.

"Is it or not?" Lin Xinzhou was at a loss.

"I'm not a big star. I'm just a small, invisible actor."

"That's a star too." Lin Xinzhou said with a curious look in his eyes, "This is the first time I've seen a star mopping the floor in front of me. What roles have you played? Is acting fun?"

"He starred in an art film and won the Golden Plum Award for Best Supporting Actor." Xu Yang's voice was even, "His acting skills are very good. I feel he can win the Best Actor Award in the future."

"So powerful?" Lin Xinzhou was surprised.

"..." The man didn't seem to know what to say. He just shook his head and uttered two words, "No."

Lin Xinzhou seemed to find it very novel and talked a lot of nonsense to him.

It was not until the man had almost finished mopping the entire store that he remembered to ask, "By the way, we've been chatting for so long and I still don't know your name?"

As he was speaking, the man dragged Ye Kong to where he was.

Ye Kong, who was absorbed in cleaning the windows, stood up to give him his seat, and when he looked up he happened to meet the man's eyes.

The sunlight outside the window fell into his pupils, like a thin layer of gentle mist.

He was still holding the mop in his hand, and he answered the question from an angle where he was looking at Ye Kong, whether intentionally or by coincidence.

“Le Yue, the Le of happiness, the Yue of pleasure.”

"My name is Le Yue."

After he said this, he leaned over slightly and continued to mop the floor.

"Le Yue? This name sounds so happy. Your parents must love you very much." - Lin Xinzhou continued to chatter.

Ye Kong stood in front of the window, the impression of that glance still lingering in his mind.

She tilted her head uncertainly, then turned back to look at the man.
