Yu Meng went out by herself that day from the back door of the company, because there were reporters at the entrance and in the parking lot, either obviously or in the corner, in order to catch some news about Yu Meng.

It was unknown if it was because of the sudden congestion on the road, but Yu Meng couldn't get a taxi even after calling for a long time.

Yu Meng's footsteps paused for a moment before she subconsciously walked in.

It was time for them to get off work for dinner. The nearby shops were packed with people who needed to line up for a long time. There were a few people sitting around and keeping a certain distance between each other.

Yu Meng walked in. There was a small bell by the door, which chimed as she walked in. It was a melodious sound.

It was very similar to the milk tea shop in his memory.

The owner was an uncle who was in his mid-thirties. He wore old-fashioned overalls and looked like a young man who had reverted to his old way of life.

"Do you have a tea milk shake?"

Uncle was busy cleaning out the machine when he heard Yu Meng's voice. He turned his head and saw her.

"Go sit over there. I'll bring it to you when we're done."

"Ok, thank you."

Yu Meng found a seat near the window and sat down, just in time to see the scenery outside. The sky gradually darkened, and they sat together.

The milk shake was quickly completed. The uncle placed it on the table in front of Yu Meng, not in a hurry to leave.

"Very few girls drink milk shakes these days." The old man smiled. "The 'little milk tea shop' in front of the train station is always full of people. I heard that young people like their milk green, milk caps and so on."

Uncle was a talkative person, so he seemed friendly and a little familiar.

As the uncle spoke, he smiled.

"When I get old, I know how to make a milk shake, so the business is always so deserted."

Yu Meng took a sip of the milkshake, and the rich fragrance of the milk immediately diffused into her mouth. She pursed her lips and smiled as she raised her head, "This tastes really good."

"Really? That's great." The old man was very happy with Yu Meng's actions. When he smiled, he revealed a set of white teeth, which made him look quite cute.

"Some people like novelty, while some people pursue nostalgia. Uncle, I really like your store."

"Thank you."

The uncle smiled. This smile surprisingly overlapped with the smile that Yu Meng remembered.

When he was in high school, there was a milk tea shop in front of the school. The tea shop had a normal taste and didn't have many varieties, so the business was very quiet.

However, Tan Yubai frequently visited that place to drink milk tea.

Every time he ordered a cup of tea with the milk shake, when he sensed that someone was secretly following him, Tan Yubai would order another and place it in front of him, waiting for Yu Meng to explain with her face covered in dust.

Yu Meng didn't like to drink tea milk shake, she was just used to drinking with him.

As time passed, the habits couldn't be changed.

She had also asked Tan Yubai before what was so good about that milk tea shop that he would often visit it. Tan Yubai only stirred the milky-green drink inside his blanket as he said these two words indifferently.

"Rest in peace."

The young lady thought for a while, then used her wide open body to wrap up herself. Her black eyes blinked, looking straight at Tan Yubai.

"Then do you think I'm too noisy?"

Tan Yubai's expression was cold, as usual, he did not give face.

"Yes, very noisy."

"Ah!" The girl pursed her lips, feeling wronged. "Then what should we do?" She held the milkshake and hesitated for a while before reluctantly getting up. "Then I'll sit at the table to the side and look at you from afar. I promise I won't disturb you!"

But before he even had the chance to leave, he was stopped by Tan Yubai.

"If you go over there, others will find you too."

Yu Meng felt even more wronged. "Then what do we do?"

"Just you wait, treat it as if I'm doing a good deed."

Her high school life back then was filled with all kinds of cute little things between her and Tan Yubai. Now that she thought about it, Yu Meng couldn't help but smile.

He had been a weirdo since he was young, so he could judge whether something was worth going to a milk tea shop or not. For example, he did not look at the style of the tea shop, he looked at the room to see if it was quiet enough, and for example, he did not look at the score or the taste of a song, a movie, TV series, etc., he did not look at the scores, he only looked at a little, as long as there was a record of something on Yu Meng's phone, he would definitely not look at it.

The side effect was similar to that of Yu Meng being his garbage filter.

Thinking of this, Yu Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Sigh, people who like to reminisce about old times always feel that the past is wonderful.

Yu Meng looked out the window, the tea milk shake in her mouth drifting between her teeth.

It was the question about that man that lingered in his mind forever.

Tan Yubai, he … Do you have feelings or not...

Did he love himself all his life, only money and rights, or did he really do all this for her?

But why did he do it for her?

She was the one who changed his choice to study abroad and became a highly talented person with a reputation internationally.

If it wasn't for Yu Meng's little scheme, Tan Yubai wouldn't have snuck into their Yu Family. He relied on the Yu Family's ability, and in the end, the Yu Family lost, and he had to take the blame.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Meng suddenly felt that these feelings were all really wrong.

She was wrong because she was too reluctant.

His mistake was being too patient.

As Yu Meng was drinking her milk shake and lost in thought, her cell phone rang.

"Hello."

"Mengmeng, are you home yet?"

It was He Mingxuan, there were people talking around him, but there were not many people, nor was it loud.

"Yes, it's on the way."

"I just ended a meeting here. Do you want me to come and take you out for a meal?"

"No need." Yu Meng lied, "I ate it."

"Then... "

"I have a press conference tomorrow."

He Mingxuan's last sentence was interrupted, and he responded after a few seconds, "Oh, I heard about it."

"That's why I need to prepare well at home tonight. Don't disturb me."

He Mingxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was worried about you, worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it by yourself, and so I went over to help you."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Alright then." Although He Mingxuan's tone was filled with unwillingness, in the end, he did not say anything.

After hanging up, Yu Meng heaved a long sigh.

At the press conference, she was still confused.

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened and the yellow streetlights on both sides of the street were shining brightly, it was only then that Yu Meng realized that she had been sitting here for such a long time.

He got up, put the money on the counter, opened the door and left.

Previously, the streets were packed with people, so it was hard to tell what the feeling was. It was just that while sitting by the window and watching the people leave, he was still not used to the deserted streets.

Even though she clearly knew what kind of person Tan Yubai was after so many years, she still didn't give up hope and wanted to stay with him for the rest of her life.

Oh, what a nuisance.

Just a moment ago, when she left the tea shop, she had asked the owner that there was a bus stop not too far away from here, and that there was a bus heading straight for Yu Meng's house. She had originally wanted to walk, so she calmed down a little and decided not to take a taxi anymore.

The train she was going to do had one last trip, and she had to rummage through her bag for a long time before she pulled out a five-dollar ticket machine. Unable to find a zero, she could only smile awkwardly at the driver.

Maybe it was because of the last train, but there were only two or three people in the car. Yu Meng found a seat near the window and sat down. Her mind was in a mess.

Somehow, after a tired and sleepy day, she had fallen asleep on the bus without warning.

As the car drove on, she slept very lightly. When the car stopped, she would always feel it, and occasionally she would wake up in a daze, feeling that she was sitting in a seat next to her, from the empty seat to the person she was sitting in.

Yu Meng opened her eyes wide and casually looked over. It was a man dressed in black, with a black hat and black mouth, wearing a black windbreaker. If it wasn't for his tall and straight stature, it would have been hard for people to distinguish between man and woman.

Yu Meng glanced over. Her eyelids were heavy, and her mind was muddled. In the confusion, she accidentally leaned on the man's shoulder.

The man didn't move, only breathing more heavily. He touched Yu Meng's forehead, causing her face to feel hot.

Yu Meng felt very uncomfortable. Her body would start sweating whenever she fell asleep, and this caused her cheeks to feel even hotter, making her feel even worse.

She rubbed her eyes and saw that the man beside her had a face that was somewhat familiar and blurry.

She didn't think much about it. She only subconsciously felt that this man was familiar, so she called out, "Ming Xuan."

After all … This was the only person who accompanied her every time she was tired.

Unexpectedly, just as she spat out those two words, she smelled a threatening scent in the air.
