The man scratched his head; they were the only two standing still in the flowing crowd. The starry night was always beautiful, and Su Jinning's deep features became increasingly clear in Shen Moyu's eyes.
"I wanted a drink, so I skipped class to buy one. They had a promotion and gave me an extra one, but I couldn't find Chen Hang. You can take it." Su Jinning said something she didn't even believe herself, avoiding Shen Moyu's eyes.
Shen Moyu eventually accepted the cup of "Fireworks in the Summer".
He watched Su Jinning's figure disappear into the crowd and then opened Su Jinning's WeChat chat window.
[My wish on the Kongming lantern came true, what about yours?]
He smiled as he looked at the chat box, which was typing but hadn't received a message yet, and put the milk tea in his mouth.
The sweet and rich milk tea spread in my mouth, filling my entire oral cavity with its fragrance.
In early April, spring arrived quietly.
His wish was not seen by the gods, but by someone else.

Author's Note:
I'm late.
Chapter 21 You and she are quite familiar with each other.
When the weekend arrives, Shen Moyu goes to work at the coffee shop from nine in the morning to six in the evening, which is considered a nine-to-five job.
He cherished this job, after all, it was a job he had interviewed for a long time before finding, one that not only paid well but also saved him time to study at home.
The boss is a bit difficult, but not unbearable.
Shen Moyu had just finished washing the dishes and was about to go to the restroom when she saw the coffee shop owner scolding someone again.
"Can't you even do your job properly?! Customer number twelve has been waiting for ages and you're only just getting here!" With each word she spoke, the girl being scolded took a step back, dodging the spittle that was spraying onto her face. Sunlight streamed in, and the specks of spittle floating in the beams of light danced in the air.
The girl being scolded was quite young; judging from how they addressed each other, her name seemed to be Xiao Jie. She was already there when Shen Moyu first started work. She wasn't very talkative and seemed quiet, but she was very diligent at work, just a bit careless, which is why she was always getting scolded.
Shen Moyu sighed for the girl. After all, this kind of thing happened almost every day, and he was the only one among these employees who hadn't been reprimanded.
After scolding the man, the woman swayed her obese waist as she walked past Shen Moyu. She was wearing the largest size work uniform, and her bloated figure combined with her posture was truly comical.
"Hello, boss!" The employees standing at the service counter all bowed and greeted her in unison.
The woman nodded haughtily, like an emperor attending court in ancient times, and gestured for them to finish their greetings.
"I'm dying of laughter," Shen Moyu thought to himself, but since they were the boss, he didn't dare say anything more. He bowed along with them, but didn't say the insincere "Hello, boss."
Seeing that the woman had walked away, Shen Moyu went about his own business.
"Ding—" The phone inside the apron vibrated, the sound of an incoming message sounding rather loud in the quiet coffee shop.
He placed the plate on the customer's table and returned a polite smile. The girl who received the smile was stunned for a moment, her face instantly turning red. She quickly whispered something to her best friend next to her.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Su Jinning.
Ning: Are you there?
Not a fish: Hmm.
Ning: Are you busy?
Shen Moyu's fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment.
Not a Fish: What's wrong?
Ning: There's a class reunion tonight, we're going out for dinner, wanna come?
Shen Moyu hesitated for a moment. He didn't really like those kinds of occasions, and he didn't know many students from Class 8. Sitting together for a meal would inevitably make him, a somewhat socially awkward person, feel awkward. Besides, he had homework to do when he got home today, so he didn't really want to go.
But as if that person knew what he was thinking, before he could reply, Su Jinning sent another message.
Ning: Everyone I went to eat with was an acquaintance. I'll just eat and then go home. I'll leave my homework for tomorrow.
Shen Moyu chuckled and replied: Why the sudden idea of a get-together?
Ning: They came in first place at last night's party, and they said they wanted to celebrate. Chen Yuanyuan also said she wanted to thank you for cleaning up her mess.
After saying this, Shen Moyu still hesitated.
Immediately afterwards, he sent the next message: Come on.
Shen Moyu's gaze lingered on the words "Come on" for a few seconds before returning to: What time?
Not Ning: Seven o'clock.
At seven o'clock, he would have already finished get off work, and the timing would be perfect. After thinking for a moment, he replied: Okay.
Su Jinning paused for two seconds after seeing the "okay" comment. Then she entered a group chat called "Chaos of Demons" and sent a message: "The top student said he's coming."
Aviation Administration: Holy crap, it's true!
Qingqing Breeze: !!
Yuanyuanzi: Oh no, I need to hurry up and prepare my thank-you speech for tonight!
The group chat is in complete chaos again.
Shen Moyu was about to get up and wash the dishes.
"bite--"
The phone vibrated again on the table, and Shen Moyu picked it up and glanced at it.
It was sent by Su Jinning.
Ning: What time do you get off work?
"..."
Shen Moyu didn't know how to reply and stood there stunned.
He didn't tell Su Jinning that he had found another job, nor did he tell his classmates where he worked.
Could it be that a classmate saw him working at the coffee shop sometime?
Even if he did, what was his purpose in telling Su Jinning?
A whole bunch of question marks were swirling in his head, and he didn't know what to say.
"Tsk..."
Su Jinning became annoyed as Shen Moyu did not reply for a long time.
