Owner Wang said Liu Man had already paid him for one month of meals.

Zhang Pei did not think much and trusted what Owner Wang said.

She also got to know Boss Yu from the pet clinic next door.

It was a tempestuous day when they met, and it was going to rain soon. The two employees didn’t bring their umbrellas, and neither did Zhang Pei. She let them go first. She stayed behind to tidy up the storage space and was going to go home early, too.

Who would have expected it to suddenly start pouring rain before she even went a hundred-meters? She turned around and was only going to head back before an umbrella stopped the rain from drumming on her head.

Zhang Pei looked up, surprised. She saw a young, handsome man that made her even more surprised.

At that moment, Zhang Pei was wondering if this rain gave her delusions. She felt as if she was back to a sixteen-year-old girl, thinking about love.

She admitted. When she was young, she did dream about sharing an umbrella with a handsome boy.

Zhang Pei’s face blushed and paled all at once. She was ashamed of her thoughts; she had a husband and a daughter! She loved her husband very much! But admiring handsome guys was a right that women of any age owned!

The handsome guy introduced himself in a pleasant voice, “Hello, Auntie. I am the owner of the pet clinic next door, and my name is Yu Zhan. It is raining so heavily, I will drive you back.”

The humble “auntie” and his polite manners made Zhang Pei feel good.

“No, no, no, no, my home is very close to here; it’s only a ten-minute walk.”

“The rain is so heavy, and you will be soaked all over after a few minutes. You can sit in my clinic first, take a sip of hot tea, and wait for the rain to lighten before leaving.

Zhang Pei accepted this proposal, so she followed Yu Zhan to the pet clinic next door.

Liu Man held an umbrella by herself and held an umbrella in her other hand. She rushed over from home to pick Zhang Pei up. She went upstairs to the storage space and found that no one was there. The lights were also off.

Where did her mother go? She didn’t see her mother on the way here.

Liu Man was anxious and subconsciously wanted to go to the next door to ask Yu Zhan about the situation. When she walked to the doors of the pet clinic, he found her mother and Yu Zhan sitting face to face on the small sofa in front of the front desk, each holding a cup of tea. They were chatting very happily.

Seeing Liu Man, Zhang Pei was quite excited as she held her hand and said, “Man Man, this boss Yu saw the heavy and kindly let me come in to take shelter from the rain,” she said to Yu Zhan again, “Boss Yu, She is my daughter and her name is Liu Man.”

Liu Man’s expression was too weird; she did not know whether to laugh or cry. Should she pretend she didn’t know Yu Zhan, or should she tell her mother that they were friends for a long time ago?

Yu Zhan winked at her secretly, and then as if seeing Liu Man for the first time, he exclaimed to Zhang Pei, “Your daughter is so beautiful, and she looks just like you. One could never tell you already have such a grown-up daughter!”

Zhang Pei smiled from ear to ear. Every mother liked to listen to others complimenting her child, and she also liked to listen to others indirectly complimenting her being young and beautiful!

She reciprocally said, “You are not only handsome but also outstanding. You are only a few years older than my daughter, and you have already opened a pet clinic. Your parents are blessed to have a good child like you.”

Liu Man, who knew that Yu Zhan’s parents had passed away, was worried about the inside. Her mother had said the wrong thing. Nonetheless, she saw that Yu Zhan was still smiling, and there was not a single distinction to be found.

On the way back, Zhang Pei kept praising Yu Zhan in front of Liu Man, saying that he was good-looking, that he had a noble character, and that he was young and promising.

Liu Man also paid attention to the compliments. She felt that her mother’s words were not wrong. Yu Zhan was such an excellent person. Anyone who knew him will subconsciously have a good impression of him.

Since then, Zhang Pei and Yu Zhan had also become acquainted. They must greet each other every day when they see each other. Yu Zhan also invited Zhang Pei to drink tea twice every three days.

After a period of operation, the name Princess Man had become synonymous with authenticated Cats’Garden cat food. Buyers who bought cat food from her, after verifying the authenticity, praised them and recommended them to other cat owners nearby. Their friends would also recommend cat food to others. More and more cat owners started hearing Princess Man’s name. Everyone flocked to her. Some followed her live-streams, some followed her Weibo. Her fan count finally broke through 100k.

Liu Man now had to go to school during the day. It was only a month after school reopened, and sometimes she had class all day. In the evening, she also has to go to the storage space to help her mother count the goods and settle accounts. This was enough to keep her busy. The main content of her live-stream was also selling cat food as well as attracting new customers. There was a limit to the energy one had. She was not a superman, and it was impossible to write calligraphy and play piano in the live broadcast room with all this going on.

On this day, as usual, she was finishing with processing everyone’s live orders in the live-stream. Just after she quit the live-stream, Pecah is a fairy sent her a WeChat message.

She gave Liu Man a WeChat card.

“This is Otaku Boy’s WeChat. He’s strongly requesting for you to add him,” Peach said.

Otaku Boy was one of the live-stream administrators as well, so, of course, Liu Man wouldn’t decline. She instantly added his WeChat. Otaku Boy’s WeChat name was “Riding the Wind to Pick up the Moon.” The freshness of this WeChat nickname was very different from how weird his nickname was on the live-stream APP.

The young man found out that Liu Man had added himself, and soon sent a message, “Sis, hello. I am Otaku Boy. My real name is Jiang Chengfeng. I am a sophomore at Capital University, and I’m a computer science major. There is an urgent matter that I must tell you in person; can I see you tomorrow?”

This request was so sudden Liu Man didn’t know how to reply.

After a few minutes, Jiang Chengfeng sent another message, “I know that my request is very reckless and sudden, but this matter is really urgent. It has something to do with your calligraphy works. I promise it is not a bad thing. If you have concerns and are afraid I’m a fraud, you can bring a friend with you.”

Liu Man quickly typed: “I don’t think you are someone bad.”

“If you don’t, then let’s meet, okay? The location will be at the Starbucks near your school’s front gate. Tomorrow at 6 p.m., right after your school day’s over. I’ll go find you where you’re most familiar with, and you’ll be safe.”

The other party has provided many reasoning, and the wording was very solemn as if it was an emergency. Liu Man agreed after thinking about it.

She replied,

“Okay.”

Jiang Chengfeng, on the other side of the screen, sighed in relief before he typed:

“I’ll see you there, then.”
