Chapter 315 - Bad Character

There were only two people at the cafe. Shen Tang was the only customer, and the other was the cafe owner’s daughter who was a high school girl watching the store.

The girl was watching a show on her phone with her headphones on. She watched the latest episode a couple of times and scrolled through her phone before she looked up at Shen Tang with a sympathetic face.

Shen Tang had been there for two hours. The man who was supposed to be her blind date did not show up and must have stood her up.

The man was definitely a scumbag because he just let poor Tangtang wait there by herself without informing her.

‘Is that man just making fun of Tangtang?!’

The girl put her phone down and got up. She was about to tell Shen Tang that she should just go home because it was raining.

Just when she got up, the cafe door suddenly opened.

A handsome young man came into the cafe. He looked like a comic character that came to life. When he looked at her, her heart thumped wildly. The girl quickly stood up and greeted with some nervous excitement, “Hello…”

“Shhh!” Yu Qiubai gestured for the girl to be quiet and walked to the counter. He smiled warmly and lowered his voice as asked, “What does she like to drink?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The cafe owner’s daughter looked over in the direction of his gaze and realized that this handsome man was referring to Shen Tang. For a moment, she looked at him conflicted and instantly changed her attitude. She said rudely, “I don’t know.”

‘What the hell?! So… this guy is Tangtang’s blind date?!’

He was not punctual and disrespectful for making Tangtang wait for so long. Even if he was good-looking, his character was questionable.

Yu Qiubai noticed that the girl at the counter seemed to dislike him and that her attitude changed a little too quickly. He did not care much and said warmly, “Then… Please give me a cup of warm water.”

The girl stared at him blankly and pointed at the water dispenser. “There are cups there. Help yourself.”

‘Hmph! So what if you’re handsome? He has such a bad character!’

It was already a pity that Tangtang was visually impaired. If she could not find a good life partner, that would be even more pitiful.

Yu Qiubai raised his eyebrows slightly. A flash of doubt crossed his narrow eyes. ‘How did I offend her? Was I not polite enough? Or did she find my face annoying?’

Besides Shen Xi, no girl had ever been able to resist his charm.

Shen Tang did not know how long she was waiting. It had begun to rain, so she tilted her head toward the window and quietly listened to the sound of rain. She felt someone coming and turned her head.

Yu Qiubai put a cup of warm water by her hand and asked, “Are you waiting for someone?”

Since Shen Tang lost her vision, her ears were particularly sharp. She turned to face him with a surprised smile. “You haven’t left?”

Yu Qiubai sat across from her. “I did, but I noticed that I lost something, so I came back to look for it.”

Shen Tang thought that he was very attentive when she felt the glass of warm water. She asked, “It must be very important, right? I can help you to find it.”

Yu Qiubai’s eyes flashed with obvious sadness and loss as he said in a deep voice, “I’m afraid it’s gone. I don’t know where I dropped it. I’ve been to too many places here.”

He was in such a hurry to get here that he did not notice that he lost it.

It was something very precious to his mother, so he always wore it around his neck as a necklace and never took it off except when he took a bath.

“How can you not try? There’s still hope if you try. Otherwise, you definitely won’t find it.” Shen Tang got up and faced him, looking a little anxious. “I’ll go with you.”

Yu Qiubai looked at Shen Tang’s nervous and anxious expression as if she was the one who lost something. He could not help but smile. “Alright, I’ll try my best to look for it and won’t give up.”

Shen Tang said, “Then let’s go now!”

Yu Qiubai reminded her. “It’s raining outside though…”

Shen Tang turned in the direction of the counter and said, “Dandan, is there an umbrella I can borrow for a while?”

Dandan was secretly watching the couple for a long time and realized that she had been mistaken. This man was not Tangtang’s blind date, so she smiled at him with slight embarrassment and rushed over from the counter. “Yes, I’ll go get it for you guys right away!”

‘Turns out he wasn’t the jack*ss that stood Tangtang up. I was so rude to him earlier… I wonder if he’s angry…’

She also felt that this man was a little too young to be the university graduate who was supposed to be Tangtang’s blind date.

Dandan found two umbrellas and handed them over as she apologized to Yu Qiubai.

Yu Qiubai smiled back and thought, ‘The people from Shen Xi’s hometown are quite interesting…’

Shen Tang insisted on going with him to find the ring.

Yu Qiubai looked at Shen Tang. Since she could not see, he did not have to conceal the emotions in his eyes. They looked a lot less inscrutable and much warmer when he smiled and said, “If you catch a cold from the rain, Shen Xi’s gonna beat me up.”

Shen Tang shook her head. “Xixi won’t do that.”

Yu Qiubai did not say anything. ‘It seems that this well-behaved and lovely girl doesn’t know her younger sister’s true colors!’

Shen Xi was a hot-tempered girl and had a deep prejudice against him. If her sister got sick because of him, she would have skinned him alive.

“Let’s go!” Shen Tang was anxious and pulled his arm. She walked to the door before she realized what she was doing and quickly let go of him, then pushed the door open in a panic.

Yu Qiubai smiled and followed her.

Dandan watched the two of them leave and felt confused. ‘What’s going on? What’s the relationship between that comic character and Tangtang?’

However, Tangtang was beautiful and the comic character-looking man was so handsome, so they looked like a match made in heaven.

After dealing with that scumbag, Shen Xi and Shen Feng each held a stick of candied hawthorn while they walked to the cafe to pick up Shen Tang.

Shen Feng did not see his sister in the cafe, so he frowned and asked, “Dandan, where’s my sister?”

Dandan saw the two of them come in and quickly told them about what just happened. She then looked at them and asked, “Is that man your relative?”

She had not seen that man before, and he was not Tangtang’s blind date, yet Tangtang was so friendly to him, so he must be their relative.

Shen Xi and Shen Feng looked at each other confused. They did not know which handsome man Dandan was talking about who went out with Tangtang to look for something.

Shen Feng looked at Shen Xi with disdain. “Is it one of your friends again?!”

Shen Xi gave him a blank stare. “Fu Qingxuan and Yu Qiubai went home.”

The two of them then followed Dandan’s directions to find Tangtang. It was none other than Yu Qiubai.

Shen Feng raised his eyebrows and nudged Shen Xi with his elbow. ‘It’s really her friend… didn’t this dude leave already? Why did he come back?’
