I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Um... Yu Rou, don't cry." Lin Zhou didn't bother trying to get more information out of her. He quickly grabbed a few tissues from the table and handed them to her, but Tang Yu Rou was too busy wiping her tears to notice. He had to push the tissues forward a little further.

"Wipe it first, otherwise people will think I did something to you."

"I...I didn't cry..." Tang Yuru took the tissue, her voice still noticeably nasal, but tears continued to fall.

"I just suddenly remembered something."

This is what you call not crying?!

Okay, okay, I'll cry, I'll cry, alright?

Tang Yuru sniffed, lowered her head and wiped away her tears little by little, looking inexplicably like a little coward who had been bullied terribly.

Lin Zhou felt increasingly guilty as he looked at the screen.

Although he really did nothing.

I think so?

"I wasn't trying to hit on you. I was just asking those questions casually," Lin Zhou explained again, but Tang Yuru just nodded obediently. Her expression, which seemed to indicate that she didn't quite believe him, made him give up on explaining further.

Forget it.

He simply pulled the chair next to him closer, saying, "Sit down for a bit. What are you doing standing there crying like that?"

"No, no need, I still need to watch the stall..."

"There are no customers now."

"Oh……"

Tang Yuru slowly sat down, neatly folding the used tissues in her hands and placing them on her knees. It took her a while to finally stop crying.

Lin Zhou stood beside her, watching her—

If it were just a normal breakup, would she cry like this when her ex-boyfriend is mentioned?

Moreover, Tang Yuru's reaction just now was clearly not because she disliked him. When she heard him say that "her ex-boyfriend was not very good," she even got anxious and shouted back, saying that he was a very good person.

If things were going so well, why break up?

Lin Zhou couldn't understand it more and more, and even began to re-examine whether he had done anything particularly outrageous during the month he dated Tang Yuru.

Did I unintentionally say something particularly hurtful?

That shouldn't be the case.

Lin Zhou admitted that he had been a little repressed, and he would occasionally steal glances at the slime at that time, but he had never done anything out of line.

"Um..." Tang Yuru suddenly spoke softly.

"Um?"

"I'm sorry about earlier." She lowered her head, her voice still soft. "I suddenly cried in front of you... I scared you."

"It's quite scary," Lin Zhou said honestly.

Tang Yuru lowered her head even further.

"No, that's not what I meant." Lin Zhou saw her shrink back instantly, and forced a smile. "I meant it's normal not to know how to handle it if someone suddenly cries in front of me, right? Don't cry again."

"No, I won't." Tang Yuru quickly shook her head.

Lin Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

【I am Lin Zhou.】

He originally intended to say that, but seeing Tang Yuru's reddened eyes, he abruptly stopped himself from speaking.

Tang Yuru cried so much just from mentioning herself. If she were suddenly told now that the person in front of her who had been trying to trick her into revealing information was Lin Zhou himself...

What will happen?

She'll probably freeze up first, then blush, then apologize, and finally turn and run away. She might even trip and fall flat on her face because she's so flustered.

What really made Lin Zhou hesitate was something else: she had clearly been recalling things about him before she started crying.

Ugh……

Lin Zhou used his glasses to observe the other person's mental state, but apart from embarrassment and shyness, he couldn't discern any further thoughts.

It would be great if the glasses had more power.

……

"Hey handsome, how much is the lemon tea?" A girl's voice suddenly came from the side.

Lin Zhou and Tang Yuru looked up at the same time and realized that four girls had been standing in front of the stall. Two of them were holding grilled sausages and takoyaki that they had just bought from next door. They were not looking at Tang Yuru at all, but staring at Lin Zhou.

"Nine yuan," Lin Zhou answered instinctively.

"Then I'll have a drink."

"Me too~"

"I'll have less sugar and regular ice."

"Give me two glasses."

Several people arrived at once. Tang Yuru, who had been sitting in a chair, immediately stood up upon hearing this. Her eyes were red from crying just now, but as soon as she saw guests, she subconsciously started to busy herself. However, she was busy getting cups and cutting lemons all by herself, and her movements were noticeably more hurried than before.

Lin Zhou stood to the side and watched for a few seconds.

Oh well, I just made her cry.

Consider it compensation.

"Which one is the less sugar, regular iced one?" Lin Zhou answered naturally.

The girls paused for a moment, then one of them quickly raised her hand, "Mine."

"Me too."

"Those two are low in sugar, the other two are normal?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"OK."

Lin Zhou casually put on the disposable gloves next to him.

Tang Yuru was cutting a lemon when she suddenly felt someone next to her. She looked up and saw that Lin Zhou had already picked up a glass. "W-what are you doing...?"

"I'll help you." Lin Zhou pointed to the bottle on the table. "The syrup one?"

"The one with the yellow lid..."

"this?"

"Hmm, two pumps for less sugar, three pumps for normal." Tang Yuru answered subconsciously before realizing something was wrong.

Why does it look so natural?

Lin Zhou had already started adding ice and syrup in a very professional manner, while she could only continue cutting her lemons with her head down. The two of them inexplicably started to cooperate like this.

This simple drink was naturally no challenge for Lin Zhou. After watching the process once, he basically remembered it. Tang Yuru was in charge of slicing and hand-whipping, while he was in charge of adding ice, syrup, and sealing the cup. The stall, which was originally a bit chaotic with just one person, became much smoother.

Before long, three or four cups of lemon tea were neatly arranged on the table.

"Okay." Lin Zhou pushed the cup over.

"Thanks, handsome!" After scanning the QR code, the girls didn't leave. One of them took a sip of her lemon tea and suddenly looked at Lin Zhou with a grin.

"Hey handsome, do you get any free gifts when you buy three drinks?"

Lin Zhou glanced at the table. "Isn't there a keychain?"

"I don't want that."

"What do you want?"

The girl pointed a finger at Lin Zhou, "I want a smile."

"?"

Is this kind of service now offered when selling lemon tea?

The other two girls started chiming in, "Yeah, three drinks for a smile isn't too much to ask, right? A handsome guy should at least give us a smile."

Tang Yuru stood to the side, somewhat bewildered. It was the first time she had ever heard of customers making such demands while selling drinks, and she could only steal glances at Lin Zhou.

Lin Zhou raised his hand to push up his glasses, his expression softening naturally. He then gave the girls a very handsome smile.

Thank you for your patronage.

The three people in front of them fell silent for a moment, then cheered.

"So handsome! Ahhhhhh!"

"Wow! One more time!"

"Could you please provide your contact information?!"

"Sorry..." Lin Zhou had just sat down to rest for a while.

Just then, a figure stood in front of the lemon tea stall—

A girl with twin ponytails, fair skin, and an adorable appearance like a porcelain doll.

"One lemon tea," the girl said, leaning forward with a blank expression.

Lin Zhou was stunned for a moment.

Late at night?!
