Li Haoyu arrived at the coffee shop whistling.

The coffee shop was quite crowded.

The girl surrounded at the bar must be Lin Na. I wonder if the coffee shop is so popular because the coffee is good or the person making the coffee is attractive.

Li Haoyu waited for a while before the crowd gradually dispersed.

It was only then that Li Haoyu finally met the legendary "Nana-chan".

Even in her coffee shop attire, Linna is stunning. She always has a warm smile on her face. Her features are delicate and refined; she's a true beauty.

Such a pure and beautiful appearance is very appealing to men. Not to mention the beauty filters used during live streams, it's no wonder that Lin Na's live streams are so popular.

Judging from the experiences of the tenants at Youfeng Courtyard, Lin Na's life has been quite dramatic. From a live streamer to working at a bubble tea shop, and then back to being a live streamer again.

However, she's a real heiress, with substantial assets, including a sports car, and even her clothes cost over ten thousand yuan. Yet, she's content to work at a coffee shop.

Besides the need to heal her injuries, it's highly likely that she also has some feelings for Xie Zhiyao.

In the story, Lin Na also said this to Grandma Xiuying and Xu Hongdou.

She likes mature and stable men, like President Xie. Although Xie Xiaoxia is down-to-earth and hardworking, never glib, a dutiful family man, and doesn't like to philander.

But he was still too naive, and compared to his older brother Xie Zhiyao, he was instantly outshone. That's why she rejected the young and innocent Xie Xiaoxia's confession.

As soon as Li Haoyu walked to the front desk, he heard her gentle voice.

"Hello sir, what kind of coffee would you like?"

"I don't drink coffee, I just wanted to bring you a gift."

Li Haoyu casually placed the gift in front of Lin Na.

This made Lin Na, who was already a little tired from work, look up at Li Haoyu. Her big eyes were filled with doubt: "Sir, why did you give me a gift?"

Linna's voice is very gentle, with a light and agile quality, and quite lively.

"It seems that Da Mai didn't explain it clearly to you. I'm also a tenant of Youfeng Courtyard. I brought back a small gift for each of you when I went out to play before."

"I originally wanted Da Mai to deliver it directly to you, but it seems she only brought you the porridge and forgot to pick up the gift. So I had to make the trip myself."

Li Haoyu pointed to the empty thermos next to him and said with a smile.

Linna then realized what was going on.

So that's how he made that delicious seafood porridge.

As for what gift was forgotten, that certainly fits Damai's style.

Lin Na looked at Li Haoyu and said.

"So you're Li Haoyu! Thank you so much for the porridge and gift. I'll definitely thank you properly when I have the chance."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but purse his lips after hearing this.

Such words are so insincere. 💥💥 6➈SUⓍ.COM 🎃💞

Li Haoyu said directly, "If you really want to express your gratitude, why not do it now? Otherwise, I'm afraid you're just saying it casually."

Linna: ...

She was stunned after hearing Li Haoyu's words.

He wasn't polite at all.

Li Haoyu added, "If it's inconvenient, then forget it. Anyway, I'm the kind of person who does good deeds without expecting anything in return."

But Lina quickly realized what was happening.

She quickly replied, "Of course, no problem. What kind of thanks do you want?"

Let alone being stared at by a beauty like Lin Na, most guys would have succumbed long ago. The allure is considerable, but Li Haoyu is not one of those ordinary people.

Li Haoyu said with a serious expression, "At least you have to buy me a free coffee. And you have to draw me a nice design or something."

Lin Na thought Li Haoyu was going to make some outrageous request.

Is the result really that simple?

"OK."

Linna readily agreed and immediately made a cappuccino for Li Haoyu, even putting a panda pattern on it.

Li Haoyu didn't waste any time.

He downed half a cup of Panda cigarettes in one gulp.

However, it was peak time, and soon more and more customers were buying coffee behind Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu said, "Anyway, we all live in the same courtyard, so I won't disturb your work. We can chat again next time."

Linna nodded. "I apologize for the poor hospitality this time. I'll talk to you again after work."

Li Haoyu nodded as well.

Now all the gifts have been given out.

Li Haoyu had also met all the guests of Youfeng Courtyard.

Of course, aside from Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou, he wasn't interested in boys at all.

Li Haoyu decided that it would be more interesting to go back and find Xu Hongdou.

She saw Xu Hongdou lazily sprawled on the table, like a lazy kitten. This made Li Haoyu think Xu Hongdou was already asleep.

As Li Haoyu tiptoed away...

He then noticed that Xu Hongdou had turned her head and was looking at him with a pair of bright, watery eyes.

This really startled Li Haoyu.

He couldn't help but retort, "Are you a goldfish? How can you sleep with your eyes open?"

"Tch, I didn't even sleep at all."

"You can't blame me for this, I was just spacing out there," Xu Hongdou said, dissatisfied.

Li Haoyu said, "You came here on vacation, not to just sit around. You really went all out, quitting your job to have this much free time."

"Is it really okay for you to be so wasteful right now?"

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at Li Haoyu and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, isn't it you who taught me that the meaning of travel is to be able to waste time at will? 🎄💀 ❻➈𝓼Ĥυ𝔵.ᑕ𝕠𝓂 🐤🐯"

Li Haoyu nodded.

Xu Hongdou is not wrong.

He didn't expect Xu Hongdou to switch modes so quickly.

Now they've all learned to turn the tables on him.

Xu Hongdou scoffed, "Anyone has the right to say that to me. You've never done anything productive all day, and you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Li Haoyu retorted, "I'm not short of money, and I don't even need a job. Don't I have the right to live a carefree life?"

Xu Hongdou: "..."

These rich people are truly speechless.

Xu Hongdou didn't know what to say.

She simply turned her head away, otherwise she might have been unable to resist taking action.

Li Haoyu wasn't angry; Xu Hongdou was still a little rebellious.

Let him train him slowly.

Li Haoyu also analyzed the relationship between Xu Hongdou and himself.

Although Xu Hongdou seems normal now, she hasn't completely resolved her inner conflicts, so she still can't fully let go of her burdens and fall in love.

Xu Hongdou is now like someone trapped in a glass dome.

She could see and hear the world outside her circle. But no matter how she tried to convince herself, no matter how much she wandered around the village, she couldn't get herself out of this invisible circle.

But once he crosses this line, a vast and boundless future awaits him, along with freedom and a new beginning. However, even Li Haoyu doesn't have a good idea of ​​how to do it.

This will only be useful if Xu Hongdou herself figures it out.

Li Haoyu himself possesses a bug-like existence, akin to a simulator. His seemingly Zen-like mindset is actually a result of his experiences in so many worlds.

With more experience, one naturally becomes more indifferent to things.

This is the simplest way to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, Xu Hongdou couldn't be like me in this respect.

Li Haoyu wasn't in a hurry. This wasn't something that could be solved by rushing. However, staying in the room like this definitely wouldn't work. If things continued like this, even if he was in a good mood, he would become depressed.

Li Haoyu suggested directly to Xu Hongdou, "A hundred steps after a meal keeps you healthy and strong, let's go out for a stroll and have some food?"

Xu Hongdou rested her chin on her hand and said, "I want to be alone for a while longer."

Li Haoyu couldn't let Xu Hongdou escape like this.

Li Haoyu smiled and shook his head: "That won't do. You already promised me, so you can't go back on your word now."

Xu Hongdou said with a confused look, "When did I agree to this?"

Li Haoyu then said matter-of-factly, "Since you've agreed to be my fake girlfriend, you should also fulfill your obligations as a fake girlfriend and spend some time with me."

"Otherwise, it would be really strange for a grown man like me to be taking a walk outside alone."

Xu Hongdou was too lazy to argue with Li Haoyu.

Because she knew that as soon as she started, Li Haoyu would pull her into his area of ​​expertise, using his underhanded methods to leave her speechless.

Xu Hongdou could only get up and take her coat from the hanger. She slowly walked to the door.

"What are you waiting for? I might regret it later."

Li Haoyu had thought there would be some back and forth, but he didn't expect Xu Hongdou to be so decisive this time.

Li Haoyu smiled and chased after him.

At this time, the courtyard is lush and green, and many of the planted plants have already sprouted green buds.

It feels so comfortable!

The scenery of the fields, the crisp air, the brilliant sunshine, and the incredibly luxurious good weather. Although you won't gain anything directly from walking in the courtyard, there's a strange sense of healing.

Spring has arrived, and it's mating season for animals again.

For some reason, Li Haoyu suddenly remembered the catchy voiceover from an animal documentary.

This made Li Haoyu laugh.

Xu Hongdou, who was standing to the side, had a clear view of Li Haoyu's awkward situation. She asked directly, "What's wrong with you now? Why are you laughing so lewdly for no reason? Tell me honestly what bad idea you're up to this time."

"It was definitely a bad idea, the kind that's hard to say out loud."

"Can't I even think about it?"

Li Haoyu grinned wickedly. He quietly walked up to Xu Hongdou, intending to put his arm around her shoulder. But Xu Hongdou suddenly turned her head, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Li Haoyu quickly withdrew his hand, pretending that he was just stretching his muscles.

Xu Hongdou didn't look at Li Haoyu anymore. She plopped down on the steps next to her. Then she patted the empty space beside her, indicating that Li Haoyu could sit there.

Li Haoyu was amazed at how cool Xu Hongdou was.

He naturally sat down next to her without any hesitation.

Li Haoyu said, "We've only walked a few steps, how come we're sitting on the side of the road?"

Xu Hongdou said, "I didn't want to move in the first place, so now that I have the chance, I'll definitely take a rest. Besides, I also want to see the clouds."

Li Haoyu looked up in confusion to confirm.

The sky was a clear blue, but the sun was shining brightly and there were hardly any clouds.

From where does Xu Hongdou see the clouds?

"Every time I see a beautiful sky, I can't help but take a picture. When I don't have my phone with me, I just look at the sky greedily, as if I want to take in all the beautiful scenery in the sky."

"I can't help but keep watching until it slowly changes, until the clouds are blown away by the wind and lose their shape."

Xu Hongdou was still looking up at the sky, and even unconsciously revealed her snow-white swan neck.

"Clouds are essentially tiny water droplets formed by the condensation of water vapor in the air. It's probably too dry right now. If you really want to see clouds, we can come out later."

"It doesn't matter, it all depends on fate. There's no point in making it happen by force," Xu Hongdou said.

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Your thinking is really a bit pessimistic. You have to fight for everything yourself."

Xu Hongdou retorted, "What's the point of fighting for this? If there's no hope, there's no disappointment."

Upon hearing this, Li Haoyu shook his head and said, "Of course that's wrong. Your way of thinking is very problematic. Let me ask you, does holding this kind of thinking make you happier?"

Xu Hongdou thought about it seriously, "No, it didn't, but it didn't make things worse either."

Li Haoyu turned to look at her, "Lowering expectations may have many benefits—it makes people more realistic and rational."

"But these benefits do not include making people happy. Because, regardless of the outcome, the feeling of anticipation itself makes us happy."

Xu Hongdou also felt that Li Haoyu's words made a lot of sense.

She continued, "Then tell me, how should I solve this?"

Li Haoyu thought for a moment and said, "There's no point in arguing about this. Are you still tired?"

Xu Hongdou thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine, but what do you want to do now?"

Li Haoyu stood up abruptly, extended his hand to Xu Hongdou who was sitting on the steps, and said, "Then you can come with me."

Xu Hongdou asked with a puzzled look, "What exactly are we going to do?"

"This isn't about answering your questions."

Could you explain it more clearly?

"Let me take you to chase the clouds."

Li Haoyu set the tone for the matter in just a few words.

Xu Hongdou was also pulled away by Li Haoyu.

……

Inside the RV.

Xu Hongdou looked at Li Haoyu with some surprise.

Just now, she was fooled by Li Haoyu again. She actually did something so crazy with Li Haoyu. Xu Hongdou would never have done such a thing before.

Li Haoyu also noticed that Xu Hongdou was looking at him. "Although I'm very handsome, I get shy when you keep staring at me like this."

"Have you fooled a lot of girls like this before? Otherwise, how could you be so skilled at it?" Xu Hongdou asked.

Li Haoyu shook his head and said, "It's not that bad. I've been quite busy lately and my skills have gotten a bit rusty."

Xu Hongdou: ...

Li Haoyu shamelessly admitted it.

Li Haoyu's face showed a nostalgic expression: "It was back in high school, there were so many pretty girls back then."

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but glare at Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu asked in confusion, "Wasn't your youth like this?"

"Otherwise, do you think everyone's youth is as decadent as yours?"

"Haha, thank you for your compliment."

"Actually, I think so too."

Xu Hongdou: ? ? ?
