Fortunately, Mr. Mori was an open-minded person and recovered in no time.

When the number of people in the store decreased, they sat at the bar to rest, and Tanaka suddenly said that he would resign in a few days.

"Huh? Why so suddenly?" Xiao Zi opened her eyes wide and unconsciously sat up straight.

Tanaka scratched his head sheepishly and stammered for a while before finally speaking.

“My family is asking me to go back home to get married, and I might look for a job there afterward.”

They both looked shocked at the same time. Su Yuanyuan opened her mouth, "You just graduated from university not long ago, and you're getting married?"

"Yes, we met through a blind date, and we felt we were a good match, so we decided to get married soon."

Tanaka smiled happily, clearly very satisfied with his partner.

Su Yuanyuan and Xiao Zi glanced at each other, then slumped listlessly on the bar. Su Yuanyuan let out a long sigh.

"When are you leaving? If you leave, it'll just be the two of us left, and we won't be able to get any good coffee anymore."

Xiao Zi's focus was clearly different from Su Yuanyuan's; she rested her chin on her hand with longing and her tone was tinged with envy.

"I also want to find someone I like to marry. I've been to several matchmaking events, but I haven't found anyone I'm satisfied with."

Su Yuanyuan rested her head on her arm and looked at her sideways. "Why are you so pessimistic? What's so good about marriage? Isn't it better to be single and do whatever you want?"

"Huh? Is that what Ryoko thinks? Why doesn't she want to get married?" Xiaozhi looked at Su Yuanyuan in surprise, as if she were looking at some strange creature.

"What's so good about getting married? You'll have to take care of his daily needs and rebuild your bond with a family of complete strangers."

If you have even one bad point, everyone will only criticize you and never care about how the man does.

Once you're married, any unhappiness in the marriage is the woman's fault, so why should I make myself uncomfortable?

I'm doing great now. I can buy myself whatever I want with the money I earn, and no one makes a mess at home.

Su Yuanyuan rattled off a long list of things, and there was still so much she wanted to say, but seeing their expressions, she decided to say less.

"Ryoko's ideas are so progressive! I can't do that. I still want to find someone to marry and have children."

Xiao Zi touched her forehead somewhat awkwardly, unsure how to comment on her thoughts, but she didn't show it on her face.

"I also think Ms. Ryoko's ideas are very forward-thinking." Tanaka looked at Su Yuanyuan and only managed to say one sentence after a long while.

Su Yuanyuan looked at them with amusement, "It's nothing, everyone has different ideas, and there are probably many people like me."

Xiaozhi and Tanaka nodded and didn't continue the topic.

"Miss Xiaozhi, I'll have to trouble you to start looking for someone new from tomorrow. I might stay for another two or three days."

Taking the opportunity, Tanaka changed the subject and looked apologetically at Azusa.

"It's okay, let's look for it tomorrow."

Xiao Zi waved her hand, saying that even if they couldn't find anyone, she and Liang Zi could manage on their own.

Two days was simply not enough time to find the person. After Tanaka left, they were only a little busier at work, nothing else changed.

That morning, Su Yuanyuan glanced at the calendar and found that the date was wrong. She assumed that she had forgotten to change it.

However, in the following days she noticed that even the weather seemed off.

She was wearing a skirt yesterday, but woke up this morning feeling cold, and when she looked outside, it was snowing.

Su Yuanyuan stood by the window wrapped in a quilt, staring blankly at the snowflakes outside. She picked up her phone and dialed Xiao Zi's number.

"Xiao Zi, why is it snowing today? Is it the same where you are?"

"It's snowing here too. The weather forecast said it would snow yesterday, didn't you see it?"

Hearing Xiaozhi's words, she was even more confused. She clearly remembered that the weather forecast yesterday said it would be sunny and the temperature would be in the twenties.

She sat on the bed and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. She opened the closet, but there were no clothes for winter to wear inside.

She hadn't even been here for a year, and she had already thrown away all her old thick clothes. Su Yuanyuan took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts for a long time.

Feeling somewhat dejected, she tossed her phone onto the bed; she only had Xiaozhi and Gin's numbers.

Xiao Zi is at work right now, staring at her phone, hesitating whether to ask for a day off or call Gin.

If she asked for leave to buy clothes, she didn't have any clothes to wear out, so she gritted her teeth and simply called Gin.

"what's up?"

Gin's voice came through the phone. Su Yuanyuan hesitated for a while before speaking up, feeling embarrassed.

"Brother, could you please bring me a set of warm clothes? I've thrown away all my old clothes, and I can't go out without warm clothes."

There was a long silence on the other end, and just when Su Yuanyuan thought he was unwilling and was about to hang up, he finally spoke.

"You threw away your clothes? What were you wearing before? Did winter only arrive today?"

Su Yuanyuan stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a perfect reason, so she finally decided to give up and just tell the truth.

"Brother, bring it to me first. When it comes here, I'll tell you something. I feel like something is wrong with this world."

Gin sneered, "If you don't have a reason to convince me, then give me more training."

"No problem, brother. Hurry up, I'm freezing."

Su Yuanyuan immediately assured that she was not lying. She didn't know if the world was wrong or if she was wrong. Su Yuanyuan also wanted to confirm with Gin.

Gin was quick; he came in less than half an hour after I hung up the phone.

Su Yuanyuan watched him act as if he were in his own home and was speechless. Why did he have a key to her house when she had already changed the locks?

Catching the clothes Gin threw at her, Su Yuanyuan ran into her room and quickly changed. Her blanket was also from summer, so wrapping herself in it wouldn't make much difference.

When she came out after changing, she saw Gin sitting on the sofa smoking. Su Yuanyuan puffed out her cheeks and pretended not to see him.

She sat opposite Gin, her eyes fixed on the table, and after organizing her thoughts, she asked, "Big brother, have you noticed anything strange lately?"

Gin stubbed out his cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, looked down at her, and asked in a flat tone, "What do you want to say?"

Su Yuanyuan began by recounting how she first noticed something was wrong with the calendar, and the more she spoke, the more Gin's brows furrowed.

By the time she finished speaking, Gin's expression was beyond ugly. Su Yuanyuan sat quietly, not daring to disturb his thoughts.

"If you dare to lie to me, then die."

After a long while, Gin, his face dark, threatened her in a chilling tone.

“There is absolutely no older brother. I only confirmed it this morning. You can see my wardrobe; it's full of summer clothes, and my blankets are also for summer.”

Su Yuanyuan waved her hand anxiously, trying to defend herself, not wanting this petty person to misunderstand.

Gin stood up, went to her room, and came out radiating coldness. Su Yuanyuan unconsciously rubbed her arms.

"Brother, have you ever encountered this situation?"
