Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 67, Section 66: The Hunting Target
"no, I'm fine!"

Zhao Xue quickly stopped Gu Caiwei from moving and acted very politely.

"Weiwei, you should rest. I didn't come here for coffee in the first place."

"What's that for?"

Gu Caiwei narrowed her eyes, her originally approachable and adorable dimples disappeared, and her soft and sweet tone became sharp and distinct.

"Trying to seduce our Boss Zhou?"

"He's not a part-time shop assistant paid by the hour, get that straight, okay?"

The last sentence was spoken in a dialect and at a very fast pace; Zhou Mingyuan almost didn't hear it clearly.

"Weiwei, what are you saying? That's not true."

Zhao Xue didn't get angry after being told that; she still had a smile on her face.

"Weiwei, did you and Zhou Mingyuan open this shop together?"

"No wonder the decor is so tasteful! Do you have a membership card? I'll top it up and go to the school to promote it for you, and invite my friends to come more often."

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.

Gu Caiwei paused for a few seconds and shook her head.

"We haven't even hired baristas yet, and these designs haven't been completed."

"It's okay, things will be alright in the future."

Zhao Xue tidied her hair at her temples and looked around, as if trying to find a topic to talk about.

"Weiwei, this shop is planning to make cocktails in addition to coffee? What's it called, 'Coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evening'?"

"That's not it."

Gu Caiwei held the glass and took a gentle sip; the cool, refreshing taste was very pleasant.

"These are just some random tweaks we made ourselves."

"Awesome!"

Zhao Xue seemed to be deep in thought, and subconsciously glanced at Zhou Mingyuan beside her.

The use of "we" here is quite subtle.

She couldn't tell the relationship between Gu Caiwei and this person at all.

Looking at Gu Caiwei, who appeared relaxed and had a blush on her cheeks, Zhao Xue had a completely unrelated guess.

No way?
impossible?

Isn't Zhou Mingyuan from the same hometown as his roommate? Is he from Liaocheng, far to the north?
How could he possibly have anything to do with Gu Caiwei?

How exactly did he gain Gu Caiwei's trust and open a coffee shop together?

Gu Caiwei dressed so casually in front of him, and they even sat together mixing drinks and having a sip. This is definitely not an ordinary relationship!

After the last social gathering, Zhou Mingyuan was already shrouded in mystery for her.

In Zhao Xue's eyes, Zhou Mingyuan might be a playboy of the same type.

At most, they possess a certain refined and handsome appearance, making them slightly more difficult to hunt.

But this time, when they finally had the chance to meet in person, Zhao Xue not only didn't see the progress she had imagined, but she also couldn't understand it at all.

"How did you know each other?"

The guests were clearly there because of the second boss, Zhou Mingyuan.

But ever since they entered the room, the two of them have been talking back and forth, basically giving him no chance to speak.

Of course, Zhou Mingyuan also enjoyed observing the details of the girls' interactions.

Lawyers have an occupational habit of being extremely observant.

He could tell that these two probably didn't get along.

Gu Caiwei, who is usually warm and cheerful, is not interested in Zhao Xue, who is also from a wealthy family.

Zhao Xue, who was arrogant and haughty during the social gathering, treated Gu Caiwei with a somewhat ingratiating attitude.

This is a bit interesting.

Zhou Mingyuan remained silent, smoothly mixing several glasses of wine and serving them over, then continued to observe with a smile.

"We are classmates from the same school. A while ago, our two dorm rooms went on a social event."

Zhao Xue explained.

"Oh."

"."

"."

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes until Zhao Xue ran out of topics. She glanced at her phone, slapped her forehead, and indicated that she had some urgent business to attend to.

Get up and say goodbye gracefully.

"Let's go! I'll come back to the Relief Cafe again!"

"Okay okay."

Gu Caiwei forced a smile and waved politely.

A few seconds later, with a "Duang" sound, the shop door was slammed shut.

No, sisters.

Zhou Mingyuan finally got a chance to speak.

Seeing Gu Caiwei's unfamiliar movements, he cleared his throat and tentatively asked.

"Are all girls this superficially close?" "Who's her best friend?"

Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Don't flatter her unnecessarily."

After saying that, the girl simply pushed the straw aside, caught the corner of the glass with her cherry lips, and downed the remaining half glass in one gulp.

"Zhao Xue came to see you late at night, and you're planning to give her a warm welcome. Looks like you two are quite familiar with each other, huh?"

His tone was calm and even, but Zhou Mingyuan found it particularly interesting.

"Aren't you just trying to make her look good?"

The man smiled and pointed at Gu Caiwei, then patted his forehead.

"Do I look like an idiot? Thousands of young men's ideal type are right next to me, how can I have the mind to entertain others?"

"It's so unfamiliar."

Seeing that the cup in front of the brown-haired girl was empty, he smoothly filled it with warm water and handed it to her.

"Didn't you hear the first thing she said when she came in? She used to always be bothering me."

"I might as well let her see that I am indeed working, so she won't message me so frequently in the future."

"That's enough, stop drinking and have some warm water."

"Oh."

Being praised as her ideal type made Gu Caiwei feel sweet inside, and she was still a little unsatisfied.

But the bartender wouldn't mix the drinks, so the dizzy girl had no choice but to give up.

"She'll definitely send it to you!"

You have no idea what she used to be like.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and Gu Caiwei hesitated, her soft, sweet voice lingering in place.

"What happened before?"

"Forget it, it's not good to gossip about other people."

Drinking too much alcohol makes you thirsty, so Gu Caiwei gulped down a big mouthful.

Have you talked to Xiaolizhi about this?

"of course."

"We're all in the same gossip group, you can't show favoritism!"

Zhou Mingyuan crossed his arms, stood up and sat down next to Gu Caiwei, nudging her with his shoulder.

"Okay. But don't go around telling everyone."

The girl quickly wavered.

"Don't worry, I will keep it a secret from my own people."

Zhou Mingyuan stretched out his hand, his expression very firm.

"Look at her clothes, food, housing, and all sorts of random things. Doesn't she seem very rich?"

"Yes, isn't that right?"

Zhou Mingyuan had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

"No! She actually comes from an ordinary family."

Gu Caiwei sat up straight, her tone filled with utter disdain.

"As ordinary as you?"

"You're so annoying, stop interrupting me!"

Gu Caiwei glanced at him with her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Other classmates may not know, but I do!"

"All her designer bags, valuables, and various jewelry, digital products, and pendants were bought for her by other people."

The girl paused for a moment, then continued.

"Her usual trick is to package herself up and specifically hunt down boys who are relatively rich, handsome, and look like all-rounders."

"Then they'd talk for a few months, make a fortune, and then just pack up and leave."

"."

Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but interrupt, "Others may not know, but how do you know?"

"Uh"

Gu Caiwei supported her chin and drew out her voice.

"Those idiots must have chased after you too, right?"

Intelligent people tend to resonate with each other when they talk.

The girl didn't deny Zhou Mingyuan's reasoning and simply nodded.

"and then?"

"What does this have to do with the messages she sent me?"

Gu Caiwei stared at him as if he were a fool, their eyes meeting.

The men who asked the obvious questions were all a little embarrassed.

"With your outstanding qualities and handsome looks, how could she not be obsessed with you?"
