    Summary

    Lan Qiren approaches, trying not to frown as he looks down at the young boy in his strange clothes. “Young man, are your parents at work? They should not have left you home alone without a caretaker."

    "No, shushu!" The boy shakes his head vigorously, large eyes growing wide. "A-Ying lives alone!"

    Summary

    [Nie Mingjue] nearly drops his wallet when he makes eye contact with the barista. All the air in his lungs leaves in a rush. The barista’s dark eyes are striking, piercing straight through Nie Mingjue, his face may as well be cut of marble. Nie Mingjue hopes his mouth isn’t flopping open like a fish, but he can’t seem to get his body to respond anymore. All of his systems have gone offline.

    “Good morning,” the barista says, bright and cheerful despite the early hour. Rationally, Nie Mingjue knows it’s just his customer service voice. He’s paid to speak to people like that, it’s his job. But rationality disappeared the moment Nie Mingjue laid eyes on him. “How can I help you?”

    “Uh,” Nie Mingjue begins tactfully. Great, he thinks, snappy and ill-tempered even in his own head, this man spoke to you with a voice like windchimes and you replied, ‘uh.’ “Surprise me.” His reply is sharper than he intends it to be.

    ---

    nie mingjue misses his alarm and stops by a random coffee shop in order to make it to work on time. the barista who takes his order is gorgeous. this may be a good thing for both of them.
