Looking at the milk tea on the table, Meng Chuyuan slowly raised her head to look at Lu Jinsen. Her eyes were filled with confusion.

Seeing that she did not understand what he meant, Lu Jinsen reached out and pushed the milk tea towards Meng Chuyuan again. He said slowly, “This is for you.”

Meng Chuyuan said expressionlessly, “Thank you, I’m not thirsty.”

Lu Jinsen pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. This was the first time he had seen Meng Chuyuan so silent. She was even a little down.

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Jinsen only saw Meng Chuyuan wandering around the shop when there were no customers. Later, Meng Chuyuan went out to deliver food. There were more and more customers in the shop, so everyone focused on work.

Lu Jinsen vaguely remembered that Meng Chuyuan’s last trip seemed to take a long time.

He knew that something must have happened to Meng Chuyuan when she was out. Otherwise, she would not be in such a worried state now.

Meng Chuyuan saw that after he sat down, he was silent as well. She could not help but ask him, “What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”

Lu Jinsen was still thinking about how to comfort her, but before he could organize his words, Meng Chuyuan discovered his motive.

After being seen through by her, Lu Jinsen decided to beat around the bush. He lowered his eyes and looked at the milk tea on the table. Then, he cleared his throat and said calmly, “Drink something sweet. You’ll feel better.”

Meng Chuyuan looked at him in amusement. “Who told you that I’m in a bad mood?”

Seeing that Meng Chuyuan could still force a smile at him, Lu Jinsen felt that she might not be in a bad mood, perhaps she was not feeling well.

“Then let’s not drink milk tea. Drink some hot water.” He stood up with the cup of iced milk tea and returned to fetch her hot water.

Meng Chuyuan: “…”

[A second ago, I thought he was a warm man. The next second, he said to drink some hot water. He’s really a straight man, hahahahaha.]

[Lu Jinsen is such a simple-minded person. I actually like him.]

[I have to say, Lu Jinsen is quite perceptive. Now that the counter is no longer busy, he immediately ran over to look for Sister Meng. He even knew that Sister Meng was in a bad mood and specially brought a cup of milk tea over.]

[Sister Meng has always been confident and calm. I’m really not used to seeing her suddenly depressed… Could she still be thinking about the bullying incident in school?]

After a while, Lu Jinsen came over with a cup of water and placed it in front of Meng Chuyuan again. “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a while?”

“I’m fine.” Meng Chuyuan saw that his face was tense and there was a complicated expression in his eyes. She asked curiously, “What kind of expression is that?”

Now that their groupings had been broken up, they were in an individual competition system. Even if she was not feeling well, it did not affect the others.

Lu Jinsen replied with slight disdain, “I was afraid that something had happened to you, but you still insist on acting tough.”

“I’m not trying to be brave. I’m just thinking about something.”

In the afternoon, she had said so many heartfelt words at that elder sister’s house. She did not know how much the elder sister would listen to.

That child had been bullied by his classmates outside, and when he returned home, he had to suffer another blow from his mother. How could he bear it at such a young age?

“I saw that you don’t look too good today.” Lu Jinsen sat down calmly and said coldly, “Big Brother treats you like a treasure. If you lose a strand of hair here, how am I going to explain it to him?”

Meng Chuyuan picked up the warm water on the table and took a sip. When she heard Lu Jinsen’s words just now, she raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, “I don’t think so. He only treats me as a child.”
