In an elegant cafe located in the center of the city .
As Nian Xiaomu walked toward the entrance, she gripped her handbag tightly .
She had thought it through carefully before deciding to face her past .
Although she had set her mind to it, she was inevitably nervous at this moment in time .
"How many of you, Miss?" The staff member at the reception greeted Nian Xiaomu politely when she saw her push the door and enter the cafe .
"I'm looking for someone . He should be here already . " Nian Xiaomu turned to the side to check and found Fan Yu sitting quietly at a table in the corner .
He was not dressed in his usual business suit . Today, he was clad in a white shirt and a pair of casual pants .
His distinctive and handsome features were out of the ordinary .
His long fingers were stirring a cup of coffee with a small teaspoon while he appeared to be thinking of something .
It was clear that he was deep in thought .
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he suddenly lifted his head .
Both of them got startled when their eyes met .
Fan Yu stood up immediately as he greeted Nian Xiaomu with a smile . Then, he pulled her chair out for her .
He carried out the action so smoothly that it was as if he had done it a thousand times before .
As Nian Xiaomu watched his figure move past her, she felt a stir in her heart .
It could have been a fleeting feeling, but for the first time, he gave her a sense of familiarity .
He felt like an elder brother who doted on her .
"Thanks," Nian Xiaomu said as she sat down .

Hearing that, Fan Yu stopped and forced a smile on his face as he answered, "You never used to be so polite to me . "
"Used to? Do you mean when we first met or the past that I do not remember anymore?" Nian Xiaomu pursed her lips as she asked curiously .
Fan Yu's look of disappointment faded with her forthcoming words .
Instead, his eyes were filled with affection as he said, "You're still the same . You're so candid that it leaves the people around you with no choice . "
Fan Yu sat down and gestured for the waitress to come over .
He held a menu in his hands as he asked Nian Xiaomu, "What do you want to drink? The desserts at this cafe are pretty good . Would you like to give them a try?"
As Fan Yu spoke, he flipped the menu to the desserts page .
"How about tiramisu?"
"I want to eat tiramisu . "

Both of them answered at the same time and immediately fell silent as soon as they heard the other speak .
As the waitress noted down their orders and took back the menu, she added, "Would you like anything else?"
Regaining her composure first, Nian Xiaomu smiled as she answered, "I'd like a cappuccino too . "
The waitress walked away very quickly .
At this corner of the cafe, there were only the two of them .
After that moment, the mood between them became slightly strange .
Nian Xiaomu tried to start a conversation a few times, but did not know what to say .
When the waitress returned with the coffee and dessert, Nian Xiaomu scooped up some cake and starting eating .

The sweet and familiar taste spread in her mouth .
After some hesitation, Nian Xiaomu slowly asked, "Did we used to be close?"
Fan Yu was taking a sip of his coffee when she raised this question .
Hearing her words, his dark brown eyes flickered . Putting the cup of coffee down, he coolly answered, "Childhood sweethearts . "
"…" Nian Xiaomu almost dropped her spoon in horror .
The story was unfolding like a cliched plot .
The goddess had lost her memories . Then, a childhood sweetheart who had been searching for her turned up, claiming that they were engaged to be married .
Surely she had not done something to Fan Yu for him to hold on to her so dearly until now…
Wait, something was not right .
