On a breezy summer afternoon, melodious piano music echoes over the Verdelite Café, over the guests working hard at their seats. The aroma of coffee and waffles fills the air, as if a layer of mist has covered this quiet place, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lu Wenfeng stopped at the junction of the hall and the carved corridor, quietly looking at the curly-haired young man whose fingers were flying in front of the grand piano not far away.

The faint sunlight filtered in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, falling on his profile and hanging on his thick, curled eyelashes. Even the hair on top of his head seemed to be dyed a layer of gold. Even if he just looked at it and did nothing, he felt that the boredom in his heart was relieved a lot.

So watching Lin Jianxi play the piano was a complete enjoyment, but he had never been there to enjoy it before. In fact, he had only been to the Deep Blue Bar where he had worked for a long time, and that was only once. However, whenever the young man had time, he would come to the bakery to help.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenfeng felt heavy in his heart, with very complicated feelings.

Soon the song ended and it was time for Lin Jianxi to take a break. Lu Wenfeng hurriedly took advantage of the opportunity to go over and lead the person into the private room he had booked long ago.

"Senior, why did you suddenly think of coming here to see me today?" He sat upright at the table, his hands folded on the soft table mat, looking a little surprised and curious.

"I came to you to fulfill my promise." Lu Wenfeng smiled gently, his expression was no different from usual, but there was a barely perceptible uneasiness in his eyes.

Lin Jianxi's attitude has changed a lot during this period of time. After thinking about it, he felt that he had not cared enough.

In addition, the young man specially celebrated his birthday in advance and prepared a surprise, but he was a few hours late. Although he said it was okay at the time, he must have been sad, which is why he became a little cold.

So now he was trying to find an opportunity to make up for it, and his face looked earnest and sincere.

"Xiao Xi, I have been breaking promises for a while because of work, and I am really sorry for you. Now a big project is finally finished, and I can't break my promise to you again."

Her voice was deliberately soft and subdued, her posture was very humble, and her eyes were filled with ripples, like a gentle spring breeze, and she fully expected to get a happy response from the young man in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jianxi waved his hand and said lightly: "Those things happened a long time ago, I don't take them to heart anymore, and you are very busy at work, I understand."

The corners of his mouth and eyes were slightly curved, and he looked in a good mood, with a sweet smile, but Lu Wenfeng keenly smelled something unusual from it.

No, that's not right. It shouldn't be like this.

This nonchalant attitude seems to be more than just understanding and consideration, it seems more like a kind of indifference.

It's like when you get something truly important, you no longer care about the gains and losses in front of you.

Lu Wenfeng couldn't help but have his eyelids twitching wildly, his palms were actually slightly sweaty, and a feeling of confusion gradually came over him.

But then he quickly rejected the finding.

How could I not care?

Truth comes out when drunk. When he was completely drunk, Lin Jianxi's gentle "Brother Feng" and his sticky and sincere "I like you" could not be fake.
