The autumn sky is blue and clear, without clouds.

In a bakery on the corner, the aroma is fragrant and the flow of people is endless.
Beside the workbench in the back kitchen, several figures in white chef overalls shuttled back and forth, and occasionally a few urging voices sounded.

“Is the chiffon ready?”

“Where’s my raspberry jam?”

“It’s all done.
The chiffon cake is on the first cabinet.
The raspberry jam arrived this morning, and is in the bottom of the refrigerator.”

The speaker is a tall and slender young man wearing a white chef’s hat.
A few traces of white flour streaked his handsome and sunny face, making people their temper after seeing the smile.

“Xiao Wen, thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s all right, it’s what I should do.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the back kitchen was pushed open, and the deputy store manager came in anxiously.

“Xiao Wen, there are too many customers in the store, and the front is too busy.
Change your clothes and come out to help quickly.”

“Yes, deputy manager.”

The little girl at the cash register was not feeling well today.
She squatted listlessly under the counter and drank brown sugar water.
After comforting her with a few words, Wen Yuan  started to help her cash register.

“Wen Yuan, you are too kind.
If you like girls, I will chase you and give birth to monkeys for you!”

Wen Yuan handed the packaged bread and desserts to the customers, and turned to look at her with a smile.

“A beautiful girl like you, do you still need to chase others? There must be a lot of boys chasing you.”

The little girl pouted and pressed the thermos to her lower abdomen.
Her eyes were a bit complicated as she recalled something.

“Those dog men.
They are enthusiastic before chasing you.
As soon as they catch you, they change their attitudes and ignore you.
Those who are handsome are even worse, and should be tied up.
Your boyfriend is still better, handsome and smart…”

She found that Wen Yuan was unresponsive after speaking, and couldn’t help but look up at him.
Wen Yuan’s eyes were focused on a certain place in the store, and his expression was a little pale.

Following his line of sight, her eyes suddenly widened.

Isn’t this the school grass1 boyfriend she’s seen on Wen Yuan’s phone a few times? But why is there a fair-skinned and beautiful goblin standing next to him, holding his hand?

What a good guy.
She was just complimenting Wen Yuan’s boyfriend, but he turned around and cheated on him?

The little girl looked at Wen Yuan anxiously.

Wen Yuan looked calm, but his heart had already turned upside down.
Half an hour ago, he sent a message to Zhou Yunqing and made an appointment to eat grilled fish at the grilled fish restaurant near T University’s south gate this evening.
The other party also responded with a meme emoji sticker.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, the other party let him experience the cruelty of life.

In just a short few minutes, many clips of the two of them flashed through Wen Yuan’s mind.
They met in club activities in their freshman year, fell in love, and have been together for three years.
They have a stable relationship and almost never quarrel.
He couldn’t think of where the problem lay that led to them reaching this step today.

In front of the glass display window filled with all kinds of desserts, Yang Mo smiled and pointed at a round matcha cocoa cake in the display window with his thin white fingers.

“Yunqing, I want to eat this.
I heard online that this is the most popular item in the store.
Can you buy it for me?”

Zhou Yunqing has never been interested in desserts.
Only Wen Yuan likes to focus on these sweet and greasy things, and he has always looked down on such a hobby.
He was in a trance for a few seconds before nodding.

“Okay, I’ll buy it for you.”

Turning his head, he was about to call the clerk when a figure in a staff uniform walked up to him.

“Guest, do you want this matcha cake?”

Wen Yuan looked at Yang Mo as if he didn’t know him at all.

His eyes moved down, and he quickly looked at the “lover” in front of him.
He had a young and fresh face, with a small stature, red lips, and white teeth, and he had the temperament of a pampered, rich young master.
At first glance, he and Zhou Yunqing were a good match.

Yang Mo knew that Zhou Yunqing had a boyfriend, but he didn’t mind.
Zhou Yunqing would be his sooner or later.
With such an outstanding appearance and family background, so what if he is the school grass of T University? Such a person still obediently bows down under his suit pants.
The fact that Zhou Yunqing had a boyfriend made him feel even more excited.
This kind of taboo-like feeling of cheating is not something everyone can experience.

“Xiao Yuan… you…”

Wen Yuan’s sudden appearance dumbfounded Zhou Yunqing completely.
He quickly shook off Yang Mo’s hand.
He remembered that Wen Yuan said that he was going to learn baking every Saturday.
He thought he was going to some cooking school, but he never thought that he was in the back kitchen of this Internet celebrity bakery.
And it just so happened that he bumped into him and Yang Mo!

When Yang Mo heard the name “Xiao Yuan”, he blinked and understood.
Although he has never seen Wen Yuan in person, he has heard of the name.
After all, the popularity of a boy who the school grass can fall in love with will not be too low.
He glanced at Wen Yuan’s uniform, guessing that he was some kind of poor student on a work-study program, and chuckled lightly.

“So you’re Wen Yuan.
I heard Yunqing talk about you.
Do you work here? Can you wrap my cake first?”

Wen Yuan glanced at the matcha cake in the window, and felt that the top of his head was greener than the matcha on the cake.
He said “um” without a smile, quickly wrapped the cake, and went to the front desk to check out.

Zhou Yunqing looked a little flustered and followed behind.
“Xiao Yuan, listen to me, in fact I…”

Yang Mo was surprised at his a
