No Plagiarism!wn2hxNv1fj0PXk9UKruYposted on PＥNAＮＡ This night, Cin Heung curled up on the sofa and lay there while looking at Manman and Wing Tung who were sleeping soundly. These high school friends of hers that allowed her to re-discover her original self and change her future. Cin Heung wanted to maintain this friendship. ‘Happiness is something you need to fight for’, this was what Manman once said. Cin Heung’s future was still uncertain, Stirling… Yeung Yi Po… Soon, Cin Heung fell asleep. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡndYaibcuww 維尼

Early in the morning, Cin Heung opened her eyes slightly, and she could somewhat make out that there were two faces in front of her. She blinked her eyes again to find that there were two people looking at her eagerly. Their watery eyes were gazing straight at her. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrLTOp1Ey 維尼

Manman and Wing Tung squatted beside Cin Heung and were examining her closely. Cin Heung did not get up immediately. Instead, she just smiled at them as though to tell them, “Please rest assured.” However, they were still worried and asked, “Have you found them?”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83vWk9kpgQ 維尼

Cin Heung lay there and said, “Not yet.”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡGroNQEXQrr 維尼

“What now then?” Manman asked in a loud voice.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq83ugMVIA 維尼

Getting up slowly, Cin Heung placed her arms around their necks then brought them close and said to them, “Don’t worry.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaM7jp6cxF 維尼

They all trusted in Cin Heung’s ability to handle things, so they didn’t ask more questions.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHWtdTzP6e 維尼

Cin Heung shrugged and patted them. “Wing Tung, you’ll be coming with me to somewhere today.” She then looked toward Manman and said, “I have already contacted Tony and he will come to pick you up.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uO9BHI7QV 維尼

Displeased, Manman asked, “Why are you leaving me?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64KnFVhvmo 維尼

“The most important thing for you to do is to take care of yourself and concentrate on being a bride.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3GO4efwl 維尼

“Right!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gNSa0DWH 維尼

With that, Cin Heung stood up excitedly and clapped her hands. “Let’s start packing up! It’s gonna be a busy day!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wdI1oExIS 維尼

The group checked out and left the hotel. Tony was already waiting for them. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ryg8aHjOT 維尼

Seeing this, Cin Heung said with satisfaction, “Tony, you will definitely be a good husband. Here’s returning Manman to you.” Cin Heung said that as she nudged Manman into the car. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNG9OGHyF 維尼

After Tony put the luggages away, he asked, “You ladies aren’t going back with me?”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4y3lD8foc 維尼

“We have something else to do. We’ll head back after we’re done.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKeLMwFzg 維尼

“Well, call me up when you ladies are done!”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡefvHR9jpvW 維尼

After replying “Alright”, Cin Heung went to Manman and saw through the window that Manman still had a bitter look on her face. Cin Heung lifted the corners of Manman’s lips with her fingers and said, “Smile a little. Having a bitter look will definitely leave wrinkles.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLARaf9wRw 維尼

Grabbing her hand, Manman looked at Cin Heung eagerly. Finally, she squeezed out a smile as she wanted Cin Heung to work with ease. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9DmFsDoPu 維尼

Soon, Tony drove away.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuKK5Sh5kQ 維尼

After a short while, a car quickly arrived. The driver of the car stretched out his hand and waved, “Cin Heung!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYDo4Wp5dK 維尼

The driver who was excited and driving hastily was none other than Yeung Yi Po. After he stopped the car, he immediately jumped out and greeted her, “Morning, Cin Heung!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tuALeunKR 維尼

“I didn’t expect you to arrive early.”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVyRBDwN0e 維尼

“I didn’t want to keep you waiting!” Yi Po aimed at the woman beside Cin Heung and asked, “This is?...”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw9rqo6yYU 維尼

“She is my friend Wing Tung.” Cin Heung then introduced him to Wing Tung. “His name is Yi Po. We will be going to his coffee shop today.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhljkSJ3zN 維尼

Wing Tung asked curiously, “Coffee shop? Why?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8Y5gDfeHz 維尼

Whispering into Wing Tung’s ear, Cin Heung explained in length what they were going to do. Wing Tung’s eyes widened and said, “Can we really do it?”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTkKKKuPfz 維尼

Cin Heung nodded and answered, “We must have hope!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26alkBV3b6 維尼

Yi Po came up to Wing Tung, extended his hand for a shake and said, “Nice to meet you.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XL4bx8dTS 維尼

Looking at his gentleman demeanor and his kind and elegant appearance, Wing Tung had a good impression of the man. She too extended her hand for a shake.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSTcBkv7tz 維尼

“We’re going to borrow the kitchen at Yi Po’s coffee shop.”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAiT9KwbR6 維尼

Suddenly, Wing Tung realised something and exclaimed, “Oh! You are the playboy barista Manman talked about!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4lbiOA4C7 維尼

Shocked, Cin Heung had her eyes wide open. Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Wing Tung quickly covered her mouth. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOvjLH9cs 維尼

Yi Po looked at them, and then bent over double with laughter. With tears of laughter coming out, Yi Po rubbed his eyes and said, “It’s the first time I heard someone calling me that. I guess there’s another playboy in Flushing!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6bZqYeBHS 維尼

“Wing Tung!” Cin Heung complained. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0kxWnn8n2 維尼

Wing Tung shrugged and grinned. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgyC32KanM 維尼

“Ladies, let’s get going then! We haven’t got a lot of time!” Yi Po said. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTPBIrHgx 維尼

Yi Po was familiar with the roads in this area. He passed through many narrow streets through dense crowds, and then went through a tunnel. Without any trouble, he drove through the complicated web-like roads and soon drove into a parking lot.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡWopKbfsWdE 維尼

"Cin Heung, Wing Tung, we’ve arrived.” After that, Yi Po happily led them to the coffee shop. “Cin Heung, what else do you need me to prepare?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5HlNJZWP 維尼

Cin Heung thought for a moment. “Did you prepare all the things I told you to?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7W5N0uTOk 維尼

“Got ’em all” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGZu0LfNDD 維尼

In front of the coffee shop, a big sign said “Able Café” in cursive. Yi Po unlocked the front door, then locked it again from the inside after entering. He then hung the sign “Closed” in front of the door.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡomuDngh7pZ 維尼

“Don’t you need to run the cafe today?” Cin Heung asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP5sRQ7E17 維尼

“I’ll take a day off to help you all day.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxn5EchqLo 維尼

Cin Heung felt grateful, but also ashamed for wasting a day of Yi Po’s time. “I really don’t know how to make it up to you.”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJviwNxodf 維尼

“Don’t say that! A day’s business is nothing! Come on! Get ready!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡjru5Mmo5EV 維尼

Cin Heung looked at him, appreciating his generosity and boldness. Yi Po took out all the materials Cin Heung said she needed; no more, no less, and most importantly, nothing missing. It was really soothing, with how considerate a person he was.“So what am I responsible for?” Yi Po asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDZsPQQaop 維尼

“You’ll film the whole process!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86GKg46ym 維尼

Yi Po made an okay sign with his hand, placed it on his forehead, and flicked it off. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHCMKGCfio 維尼

“What about me?” Wing Tung asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb518tFdvd 維尼

“You’ll help me finish this today!” Cin Heung said with a smile of encouragement on her face.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF9Krq2jgE 維尼

“Let’s start!” Yi Po shouted. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡypWM1Deg1N 維尼

*** 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf5Soo3F5a 維尼

The setting sunlight shone into the café, and everyone was sprawling on the sofa. Only Cin Heung was working hard in front of the computer provided by the café.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2YfxihKX9 維尼

Yi Po looked at Cin Heung and was admiring her. Even Wing Tung noticed Yi Po gawking at Cin Heung. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡOodIXYOYhg 維尼

“Done!” Cin Heung suddenly cheered. She then concentrated on her phone and sent out several messages. After a while, Cin Heung finally relaxed.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT9ZykRVk4 維尼

Yi Po went to the counter and skillfully made some coffee. “Cin Heung, Wing Tung, come and have a cup of coffee after all that hard work!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i5ydrtadp 維尼

The cup had an inviting coffee fragrant with a hint of lovely jasmine smell. Cin Heung’s eyes were wide open, her spirits lifted. “This is your handy work!” After saying that, she took a sip and continued, “Oh, it’s delicious! It’s far from what I had on the plane that night! A cup of joy and relaxation indeed!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QBhnRhfpP 維尼

Hearing this, Yi Po jumped up with joy and said, “Well, you should visit more often, I’ll make it for you!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rFr6Dce7n 維尼

Cin Heung giggled and said, “Wouldn’t that mean I’ll have to stay in the states?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmk9RT57rT 維尼

“I support that decision!” He said sincerely.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYqKhuI5JR 維尼

Taking a look at the cup of coffee and looking at the two, Wing Tung let out a faint smile. She took a sip of the coffee then said, “Oh, it’s really delicious! I don’t know much about coffee, but this tastes great!” After saying that, Wing Tung stared at Yi Po and waited for his enthusiastic response. Unfortunately, she didn’t get any of that enthusiasm Yi Po had for Cin Heung. This made Wing Tung giggle. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpkg0GOlZz 維尼

Hearing Wing Tung’s dubious laughter, Cin Heung and Yi Po both looked at her. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3rDnGH4Wx 維尼

“What’s so funny?” Cin Heung asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBw0lWFref 維尼

“Nothing,” Wing Tung replied casually.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu34VteTgG 維尼

Cin Heung looked at her suspiciously. On the other hand, Wing Tung stared at Yi Po, which made him blush with embarrassment.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71b5n0Oy9y 維尼

Looking at how Wing Tung was acting, Cin Heung couldn’t help tickling Wing Tung’s waist with her hand, making Wing Tung laugh out loud. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B3d4V5tRd 維尼

Yi Po then asked happily, “All right, after a day’s work, how should we deal with this?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgm20T2Gya 維尼

Wing Tung settled down and said, “Bring it back to the New Jersey house, of course!”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyxChgPhRk 維尼

Yi Po nodded in agreement. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRurcTp20 維尼

Cin Heung then interjected in a hurry, “No, Manman will see through it! Besides, it also depends on Sum Ting and Gou Jing… I hope.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIxYGdDkX1 維尼

“Yeah, I hope your friend can understand the effort you girls had put into this. How’s this! I’ll deliver it to Tony and the bride on the wedding day!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8Mnp3BCJ 維尼

“Ah! How do you know about the wedding?” Both Cin Heung and Wing Tung were surprised.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw8gyJnEV6 維尼

“I’ve been wondering all day whether it’s Duen’s wedding or not! When you mentioned the name Tony, that’s when I became certain. I know their family. Actually, Tony was my classmate when I was a student. So... I will actually be attending the wedding.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWePHICRaU 維尼

“What a coincidence! But why isn’t your name on the wedding list?” Cin Heung asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt87WFQBmC 維尼

“I know him well! That’s why he just told me about it.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhf3iUmmBe 維尼

“What a coincidence!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcgLX2UOPR 維尼

Yi Po murmured, “Like you said, it’s fate that brought you from the other side of the world to…” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡC50CwgTYfe 維尼

“What did you say?” Cin Heung didn’t hear what he said. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P5XrvGZYc 維尼

“Nothing! Nothing!” He laughed awkwardly, then continued, “Oh, it’s decided then. I’ll deliver the item on the wedding day!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LGrGINrpz 維尼

“Thank you!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95NZD6Euxn 維尼

Wing Tung, the bystander per se, saw the way Cin Heung acted shyly again. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdVSb5qpBf 維尼

Yi Po took out a cake from the freezer and gave it to them. After a long day’s work added with the fact that this was the in house desert, the two enjoyed it very much. Even Wing Tung appreciated the elegance of the store and the outstanding food.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9PY9jh1qy 維尼

“The coffee is alright, but the cake is far from what Cin Heung made,” Yi Po said modestly.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95fo0A5HaG 維尼

“Why drag me in? You did a good job,” Cin Heung said with a smile.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSamhbkrTn 維尼

“We’ve just been busy working today. Let me introduce the shop to you ladies, come with me.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL2kAgUqqf 維尼

Bringing them around the shop, Yi Po explained to them the different types of coffee beans. What were considered new and old beans, and how to steam and brew them. Yi Po introduced everything with enthusiasm, giving the listeners a fantastic introduction. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUTd8C55tx 維尼

Cin Heung came across a notice board and stopped to take a look. There were notes and photos left by the guests, posters about missing pets, as well as information about tuition classes. Suddenly, an advertisement caught Cin Heung’s eye. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQIt5DjtDv 維尼

Noticing Cin Heung’s interest, Yi Po said, “That’s an ad for a famous culinary academy. It’s a lesson about dessert. You might like it.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X4yDfdQxR 維尼

Cin Heung was in fact very interested in this. Aside from Manman’s marriage, the greater purpose of her coming here was to put aside the troubles in Hong Kong. However, in the past few weeks, the things that had happened here were all fresh and exciting. Cin Heung was starting to like it here. “Can I take this?” Cin Heung asked. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF54E8VeU3 維尼

“No!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj6StLtdJK 維尼

“Oh!” Cin Heung reacted strongly. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsrX6jWM6W 維尼

“It’s better if I bring you over to register,” Yi Po said with a smile. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPWV0nppyt 維尼

“Hmph!” Cin Heung made a silly face.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCypQBdJ9 維尼

“I’m willing to help.”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWJ6MCBL4d 維尼

“Isn’t it easier to just register online? Your method of asking for a date is so old-fashioned!” Cin Heung looked at him with a smile.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsorw1IV2H 維尼

“That’s true, but I do know them! It’ll be easier if I brought you over!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2mK7w45zq 維尼

“But I have to ask my family first!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr0xUUwfsG 維尼

“Of course! Of course!”8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZiUndjq94 維尼

Unable to hold back anymore, Wing Tung chimed in, “Am I in you guys’ way?” Wing Tung chuckled then whispered into Cin Heung’s ear, “I’ve never seen a strong woman like you acting like a proper lady! You’re like a little girl when you’re with him!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡB228C3atxc 維尼

Blushing red, Cin Heung poked Wing Tung with her arm.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4ytmTzrnC 維尼

Seeing the two ladies talking among themselves, Yi Po asked innocently, “Did I say something wrong?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfz8smHWdZ 維尼

“No! No!” Cin Heung waved her hands and glared at Wing Tung. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX9ceq50E7 維尼

Yi Po handed the enrollment leaflet to Cin Heung, “Here.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC5FIFEc8G 維尼

“You sure?” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPa6Pubh1l 維尼

Yi Po nodded.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHieccVkpy 維尼

Cin Heung accepted it with a smile and said, “Thank you so much for everything!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41aDKxKWmS 維尼

“It’s late already! I’ll send you ladies back to New Jersey!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVlZROIwS 維尼

Cin Heung and Wing Tung waited at the shop while Yi Po drove the car to the front of the shop. Talking and smiling, Yi Po invited the two into the car. He then closed the door for them, paying special attention to Cin Heung. 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJsd06BH6l 維尼

As soon as the car engine started, the car drove away slowly.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkvHq4mTvZ 維尼

At that moment, a girl stood on the corner of the street. She trembled slightly and smacked the wall with her hand. She let out a sigh and said, “Able.” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ryQCPbVrw 維尼

Suddenly, someone in the distance called out, “Emma! Let’s go back home!” 8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSKeK74ajt 維尼

The girl was Emma.8964 copyright protection288ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBWibD60ZL 維尼

Emma looked back and said, “Alright! I hear you Anne! Can you stop it with the yelling!”292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXlO18cTu7
