The young man’s name is Nike, and he is a friend Guanyan met in the slums of Continent B.
At that time, she was transporting a batch of goods for Daji, and was intercepted by a local gang on the way. Because she did not understand the local situation in advance, her boat capsized in the gutter and she almost lost her life.
She was injured and ran to the slums, where she met Nike who was treating an old woman.
She was quite desperate at the time and asked for help. Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle and timid man not only helped her, but also treated her injuries and allowed her to hide in the slums for half a month.
Later, when she recovered from her injury and contacted Sun, they separated...
It was precisely because of this experience that Guan Yan came out to meet him at such a sensitive time.
She was still thinking about Nike and his friends refusing to leave the slums, and asked them with a rare relaxed look in her eyes, "By the way, why did you suddenly think of coming to the illegal area to find me?"
Just at this moment there was a knock on the door.
Guan Yan frowned unhappily: "Who is it?"
The person outside heard the voice inside and whispered, "Hello, guests. I'm a waiter. I'm here to bring you some water."
Guan Yan rubbed his brows and suppressed his temper: "Come in."
The person outside pushed the door open.
It turned out to be a woman dressed as a waitress.
She came in with a tray in her hand and placed a blue glazed teacup in front of each person and poured a cup of rose tea into it.
While introducing it to the guests in the box in a gentle voice: "This is the specialty tea of our store. It is made from freshly picked roses that are roasted and stir-fried."
Guan Yan ignored her introduction and looked at the other two people in the box, mainly at Nike: "By the way, you haven't answered the question I just asked you."
"Why did you suddenly think of coming to the illegal area to find me?"
Nike had been paying attention to the tea poured by the waiter. When she asked him this, he seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, and there was a hint of uncontrollable complexity on his expression.
Guan Yan was just happy that they came to find him, and did not notice the fleeting change in expression on his face. He still looked at them with relaxation and trust.
Nike opened his mouth and forced a smile, his eyes flickering: "We came here to purchase medicines, and by the way, we asked you to come out and meet."
"Medicine?" Guan Yan knew that the slums were in urgent need of medicine and often provided support to them. Hearing this, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "What medicine? Give me a list later, and I'll ask someone to help you find it later."
Nike's expression became more and more indescribable, his eyes moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something to her. But the corner of his eye caught the waiter who was quietly pouring tea for them in the box, and he seemed to be very afraid, so he held back: "Okay, thank you."
"We are friends for life, you don't have to be so polite to me." Guan Yan also noticed that he was frequently looking at the waiter who was staying in their box.
He urged: "Isn't it done yet?"
The woman had just finished pouring three cups of tea and straightened up: "It's ready, sir."
"Yeah." Guan Yan responded, and said with a dull expression: "We don't need you here for the time being, go out."
The waitress silently put away the tray, very sensibly left the box, and took her to the door.
Guan Yan saw that the man went out.
A pair of clear eyes fell on Nike again, and he said steadily: "You had something to say to me just now. Now that there is no one around, go ahead."
"..." Nike's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect her to be so observant and sharp. She could accurately capture his emotions in just a moment.
