Hot chocolate .
‘Du Yi, why do you think that rich woman comes here every day?’ Jiu Tu asked . ‘Do you think she’s sick or is she waiting for someone?’
‘Make her a hot chocolate,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
‘She ordered a coffee,’ Du Yi said .
‘Hot chocolate,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
Yue Gu Zai brought a cup of hot chocolate to Zhen Zhen’s table .
‘Mrs Yue, your drink,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
Zhen Zhen smiled because she loved hearing the waiter’s voice that sounded like Yue Gu Zai . She took a sip and she frowned .
‘I want to drink coffee,’ Zhen Zhen said .
‘Drinking too much coffee isn’t good for you,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
‘What’s your name?’ Zhen Zhen asked .
‘Du Yi,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
The next several days, Zhen Zhen ordered hot chocolate . Yue Gu Zai thought she looked skinner by the day . Some days he would order her a meal, and she would take a bite .
Mr and Mrs Yue asked Zhen Zhen to come home but she declined . For a year there was no news of Yue Gu Zai or their daughter . There was no reason for her to restore her sight . She didn’t want to accept Yue Gu Zai and their daughter died . That day she was happy she finally received news about their daughter .
‘Mrs Yue, your hot chocolate,’ Yue Gu Zai said .
‘Thank you,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Can you sit with me for a while?’
Yue Gu Zai didn’t know if it was right for him to sit .
‘Sit,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I’ll reimburse the owner for your pay today . ’
Yue Gu Zai sat opposite Zhen Zhen .
‘You don’t like to talk,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘He doesn’t like to talk either . Can you talk a little more today?’
‘Is he your husband?’ Yue Gu Zai asked coldly .
‘Yes,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘Your voice sounds exactly like my husband’s voice . ’
‘Is that so?’ Yue Gu Zai asked . ‘Why do you come here every day?’
Yue Gu Zai was jealous of Zhen Zhen’s husband .
‘Do you come here to wait for him?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .
Zhen Zhen didn’t know why the waiter made her feel like she was sitting with Yue Gu Zai .
‘After today, I’m not coming here anymore,’ Zhen Zhen said .
Yue Gu Zai teared the napkin in half .
‘Why?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .
‘I can’t stay here forever,’ Zhen Zhen said . ‘I need to accept my reality . ’
Zhen Zhen received news that Shu Tang Jue was raising a one-year-old baby girl . If the baby girl was her daughter, she wanted to her daughter back .
Zhen Zhen and Yue Gu Zai sat in tensed silence until closing time .
‘Du Yi, the woman closed her account here and she also left a generous tip,’ Jiu Tu said . ‘What did you two talk about? Why isn’t she coming back?’
‘Jiu Tu, do you want to turn into a gossiping mother hen?’ Yue Gu Zai asked .
‘Hey, if you don’t want to tell me then you don’t have to,’ Jiu Tu said . ‘There’s no reason to be angry . ’
Yue Gu Zai walked outside . He saw Zhen Zhen was still waiting for her driver . Usually her driver picked her up at the back of the restaurant because there were more street lights .
‘Mrs Yue, where do you live?’ Yue Gu Zai asked . ‘I’ll take you home . ’
‘You don’t have to,’ Zhen Zhen declined .
‘Fine,’ Yue Gu Zai said coldly .
A second later, Yue Gu Zai pushed Zhen Zhen away and a car crashed into him .
‘Miss, are you OK?’ a man asked .
‘Miss, is he your husband?’ a woman asked . ‘Someone call an ambulance . There’s a car accident . ’
A minute later, Bai Yu Tian arrived at the restaurant . He was shocked to see Yue Gu Zai lying on the ground, and Zhen Zhen holding Yue Gu Zai’s hand .
‘Boss!’ Bai Yu Tian called .
Bai Yu Tian knelt on the ground and he examined Yue Gu Zai .
‘Mrs Yue, let go of boss’ hand,’ Bai Yu Tian said . ‘The ambulance is here . We need to take him to the hospital . ’
Zhen Zhen followed Yue Gu Zai into the ambulance . She couldn’t see him, but she felt she was holding his hand . He wasn’t Du Yi if Bai Yu Tian called him boss . Was he really Yue Gu Zai? If he was Yue Gu Zai, she didn’t want to let go of Yue Gu Zai’s hand .
