Chapter 2844 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 03

The next day, it rained heavily.

The whole street was shrouded in a gray mist. In this kind of weather, the coffee shop was naturally quiet. Only five or six passersby came to take shelter from the rain in the morning.

Jin Chen made a hand-drip coffee, held the cup, leaned against the bar, and looked out at the street through the glass window.

The flower shop next door was still lit up, with many potted plants and fresh flowers displayed at the entrance. Usually, when the weather was nice, they would be set up to attract customers, but today they had become a burden.

Jin Chen saw a little girl come out of the flower shop and struggle to carry a money tree that was half her height into the shop.

The rain was so heavy that even with the eaves providing shelter, many people still got quite wet.

After making two trips, the little girl stopped to catch her breath. Looking at the dozen or so plants waiting to be moved outside, a worried expression appeared on her face.

Jin Chen watched for a while, put down his cup, and waved to Xiao Liu, who was organizing materials in the break room.

"Xiao Liu, the rain is too heavy. Go next door and help move some flowers."

Xiao Liu looked over, said "Oh," found an umbrella under the counter, and ran out excitedly.

After Jin Chen returned to the bar, her eyes remained fixed on the flower shop.

After Xiao Liu went over, he said a few words to the girl, and the two of them worked together, which greatly improved their efficiency.

After moving about seven or eight pots, the door of the flower shop was pushed open again, and this time a man came out.

Yun Jian seemed to notice the gaze and looked up towards the coffee shop.

Through the rain and glass, their eyes met for a fleeting moment.

Jin Chen didn't look away, nor did Yun Jian. They just watched quietly for two seconds, then Yun Jian nodded slightly as a greeting, before lowering his head to continue moving the flowers.

Jin Chen withdrew his gaze and turned to grind new coffee beans.

He had just poured the beans into the grinder when 999's voice rang out: [Master Jinchen, the protagonist has arrived... the protagonist... has fainted.]

Jin Chen paused, put down what he was holding, and quickly walked to the door.

He pushed open the door, and the sound of rain instantly intensified. He opened the spare umbrella by the door and went outside.

Sure enough, on each of the two stone paths, lay a person completely soaked by the rain, motionless.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Ye had just finished moving the last pot of flowers and were standing under the eaves of the flower shop, catching their breath. When they saw this scene, they stared in disbelief, holding the empty flowerpot, looking to the left and then to the right.

A few seconds later, the flower shop door opened again, and Yun Jian walked out.

He first glanced at the person lying at the door, his brows furrowing slightly, before looking up at Jin Chen.

The two looked at each other through the rain.

999 isn't very skilled, so the announcement is a bit late: [A villain has been detected in this world's storyline, triggering a corruption threshold. Current corruption threshold: 68!]

[Task requirements: Clear the black value to zero and change the villain's tragic ending! ]

Yun Jian crouched down, checked the breathing of the person on the ground, and then looked up at Jin Chen, "Boss Jin, what about that person over there..."

"Alive." Jin Chen also squatted down to check. "He's breathing and has a heartbeat; he's probably just passed out."

Two shop assistants: "..."

Jin Chen asked, "What does Boss Yun plan to do? Should we call the police and let them handle it?"

Yun Jian shook his head, his voice gentle, "No need. This is my friend's younger brother. He said he was coming here to play for a few days and asked me to look after him. I guess he was running around everywhere and got sick from being in the rain."

After explaining, he looked at Jin Chen and asked, "Mr. Jin, what's going on...?"

"Me?" Jin Chen bent down, reached out and grabbed Tan Quan's arm, effortlessly lifting him from the wet, cold ground, half-supporting and half-clamping him to her side like a sack, "Just doing a good deed every day."

The man made a muffled sound when he was pulled, but he didn't wake up.

Yun Jian watched his movements, his gaze lingering on Jin Chen's arm for a moment before quickly shifting away, his dark pupils reflecting the shimmering water.

"Then I'll take the person inside first," Yun Jian said. "It's raining heavily, Boss Jin should go back quickly too."

Once inside the store, Jin Chen carried the person directly upstairs to the second floor.

The building is designed with businesses downstairs and living quarters and small warehouses upstairs.

Jin Chen doesn't stay at the inn often, but the upstairs is well-equipped, which is perfect for temporarily accommodating this protagonist of unknown origin.

Jin Chen threw the person on his shoulder onto the sofa in the living room. The person groaned twice after being thrown like that, but still didn't wake up.

Jin Chen stood by the sofa, looking down at the protagonist.

The original storyline portrayed Tan Quan as incredibly ruthless and cruel, possessing exceptional underground boxing skills and even engaging in forced love...

How could this person...?

She was thin, her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing no muscle definition, and she was curled up, looking somewhat fragile.

Could this be the same ruthless character who scared the protagonist into not daring to fight back, nearly bankrupted the villain's flower shop, and ultimately died in the boxing ring?

But since the person was unconscious, no further clues could be discerned.

Jin Chen turned and went downstairs, ready to finish the coffee that had been interrupted.

When I went back upstairs with the cup, the person on the sofa was already awake.

Tan Quan sat on the sofa, holding his head, looking dazed from a hangover. Hearing footsteps, he looked up sharply and saw Jin Chen. He jumped up from the sofa and almost fell over because of the sudden movement.

"You saved me...you're a monster!"

He considered himself to be quite tall, nearly 1.9 meters, but the man in front of him was more than half a head taller than him! He only reached the man's shoulder; what kind of monster was this?!

Jinchen: "..."

He found it slightly amusing, "Where's your manners?"

Tan Quan stiffened his neck, wanting to retort righteously, "What do you, a monster over two meters tall, need my manners for?" But out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the full-length mirror in the corner of the living room.

Tan Quan paused for a moment, then rushed to the full-length mirror in the corner of the living room.

Then, Jin Chen witnessed a spectacular face-changing performance.

Tan Quan stared at himself in the mirror for three seconds, his expression shifting from confusion to shock to terror, his face turning completely white.

He suddenly sprang away from the mirror, then darted back to the sofa, crouched down with his head in his hands, and screamed.

Jinchen: "...?"

He put down his coffee cup and asked, "What are you howling about?"

Tan Quan clutched his head; he had shrunk!

No, this ordinary human being in front of me must not know any of this!

Tan Quan's eyes were a little red, whether from being anxious or hungry, he stared straight at Jin Chen... at the coffee in his hand.

She darted over and stared at the coffee cup. "What are you drinking? It smells so good... Can I have a sip?"

Jin Chen fell silent again, suddenly unsure whether the coffee was now smeared with Tan Quan's saliva.

He rubbed his temples, too lazy to argue, and said, "Here you go."

Tan Quan's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it, not caring that it was hot, and gulped down a big mouthful.

"Aaaaaaah, it tastes so bitter!"

Tan Quan stuck out his tongue, tears welling up in his eyes.

Jin Chen was completely certain.

There's definitely something wrong with the original plot. This protagonist doesn't seem like a ruthless character capable of forced love at all; instead, he seems like a silly dog ​​who might not be very bright.

Tan Quan stubbornly finished the rest of his coffee. After he finished, he squatted down, looked up, and said, "I'm so hungry... Since you took me in, can you give me something to eat? I'm starving."

"Why should I?" Jin Chen asked.

Tan Quan thought for a moment, then took out a solid gold bar from his pocket.

Jin Chen: "Deal."

Jin Chen took out his phone and opened the food delivery app.

Tan Quan immediately leaned over, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, and swallowed hard. "I want to eat eight bowls of rice."

Jin Chen's fingers trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

Suddenly I remembered a guy in the Quick Transmigration Bureau who also had a huge appetite.

Hopefully, the delivery driver won't be scared off by this order.

After placing the order, Jin Chen remembered what had happened downstairs and said to Tan Quan, who was still squatting by the sofa, "By the way, you weren't the only one who fainted just now. Someone else fainted in front of the flower shop next door. He looked about your age. Do you know him?"

Tan Quan buried his face in the sofa cushions, completely engulfing them. "...I don't know him."

Jin Chen's vision went black.

Not long after, Jin Chen went downstairs to pick up his takeout. When he arrived at the store, he found that Yun Jian was also there.

The deliveryman was standing in front of the counter, carrying two large bags. When he saw Jinchen, he said loudly, "Hello, your Jiufen Honey Teriyaki Rice."

After he finished speaking, the air in the store was silent for a moment.

Xiao Liu peeked out from behind the workbench in alarm, and Yun Jian also looked up at him.

Jinchen: "..."

He took the bag without changing his expression, casually placed it under the worktable, and then turned to Yun Jian, "Boss Yun, would you like something to drink? It's on me."

Yun Jian said gently, "Then a latte, please."

"Wait a moment." Jin Chen nodded, turned around and went back to the bar to operate the coffee machine.

Yun Jian found a small table by the window and sat down. His gaze naturally, seemingly unintentionally, fell on Jin Chen's hand.

The bright lights in the coffee shop illuminated every detail of the hand. Jin Chen's skin was very fair, making the veins stand out even more. He had a large palm, long fingers with thin calluses on the fingertips, and slightly red knuckles. His arm, bound with sleeves, had well-proportioned muscles.

Yun Jian picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip, and looked out the window at the camphor tree swaying in the rain.

Jin Chen noticed the gaze and looked up in confusion, only to see Yun Jian looking out the window. He then walked over with a latte he had made, the delicate milk foam forming a simple heart shape.

As he drew closer, Yun Jian smelled a rich aroma of coffee, beneath which lay an even fainter scent.

Yun Jian's fingers trembled slightly, and he looked up at Jin Chen, meeting Jin Chen's gaze.

"Let's give it a try and see if it suits your taste," Jin Chen said.
