Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 786: [Yan Jian Extra]35. What does such panic and confusion count for_3

Yan Yu took a deep breath, incredulously meeting his eyes.

So, it was actually him?

After a decade, he had returned to stand before her again. And she happened to still like him, even thought about confessing to him...

Everything seemed as perfect as a fairy tale. She only needed to nod, and a beautiful love would open up to her instantly.

Yet somehow, at this moment, she found herself hesitating.

.

She finally remembered, proving that she had never truly forgotten him. Xue Jiangqiu happily leaned down to hold her elbow and said softly, "It’s me. I’m back. Ten years as a promise, I’ve returned to steal your first love."

He grinned mischievously: "... Is your first love still obediently waiting?"

When he said this last sentence, his heart was already filled with certainty, but he was teasing her to say it herself, he wanted to hear it.

Just because after being with her these few months, he already knew she was still that girl with a heart as calm as still water, putting all her passion and focus only into her pastry business, without any close male companion by her side.

From the shy look she gave him, he was sure she still cherished her first love.

Yan Yu blushed and flustered when asked, instinctively avoiding his gaze, awkwardly exclaiming, "... Since it’s you, how could you still fool me? Why didn’t you tell me who you were from the beginning?"

He smiled, patient and gentle: "Because... I wanted you to fall in love with me. Not because I’m from the Xue Family, just because I’m myself."

At this sweet moment, unexpectedly, an oblivious customer suddenly pushed open the shop door. The wind chimes hanging on the door jingled in a flurry, forcing Yan Yu to be distracted and turn her head to look over.

A gust of wind swept in, the doorway previously filled with clear morning sunlight, but now standing there was a shadow that seemed impossible for the sunlight to illuminate.

Yan Yu’s heart skipped a beat, "Little Ben? How come it’s you?"

.

Xue Jiangqiu also looked up, seeing it was this peculiar customer, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow: "You know each other?"

Xue Jiangqiu’s words left Yan Yu a bit puzzled, she turned back to look at him: "Hmm? You, could it be that you’ve also met?"

Xue Jiangqiu smiled, acknowledging it, but did not mention last night’s incident.

As for last night, in the end, it was Ben Shaming who was impolite. With Xue Jiangqiu’s manners, he naturally didn’t want to bring it up in front of Yan Yu.

Yan Yu, holding her suspicions, approached and blankly asked, "... How did you know this is my shop?"

Ben Shaming squinted at Yan Yu, letting out a cold snort: "You’re mistaken, how would I know this is your shop? I just happened to pass by in the morning wanting to buy some breakfast and came in by chance."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted past Yan Yu’s shoulder, towards Xue Jiangqiu: "... If I had known this was your shop in advance, I wouldn’t have come at all!"

.

Ben Shaming spoke these words feeling a bit guilty, Xue Jiangqiu also slightly frowned.

Yan Yu didn’t know this customer had been here before, but Xue Jiangqiu did.

But Yan Yu believed his words, lowering her head with tightly knit brows: "I also think..."

Considering the conflict between her and Little Ben, with Little Ben’s nature, if he had known in advance this was her shop, he indeed shouldn’t have come in.

Ben Shaming noticed she believed him, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

But actually, he didn’t even understand why he was so tense.

Whether she believed it or not, was it that important?

He raised his eyes again to glance at Xue Jiangqiu, "But since I’m already in, I might as well make my visit worthwhile. Just settle my breakfast then."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment before she understood, quickly shaking her head awkwardly: "Sorry, we haven’t opened for business yet, so... the first batch of pastries isn’t ready."

Ben Shaming squinted slightly, somewhat calculatively: "Is today a special day? It’s not just once or twice that I’ve passed by this shop, I remember that usually at this time, the scent of bread should be wafting out from the shop."

Ben Shaming was right, today was delayed... Yan Yu quietly looked up at Xue Jiangqiu, blushing.

It was all because talking to Xue Jiangqiu delayed time.

But she didn’t know, such an expression in Ben Shaming’s eyes was rather glaring.

Some things are self-explanatory even without words.

Ben Shaming couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at Xue Jiangqiu again.

Xue Jiangqiu originally didn’t know the depth of the relationship between these two, so it wasn’t appropriate to intervene, but now seeing Yan Yu’s obvious embarrassment, he stepped forward to gently shield Yan Yu, gracefully saying: "Really sorry to disappoint you. How about this, just delay you a few minutes, I’ll prepare the first batch of pastries for you immediately."
