One day, we received a notice from the company that an event was to be held, requiring me and him to cooperate together. I mistakenly thought the company had arranged for the "popular king," Qin Jin, and I felt both nervous and excited as I anticipated his arrival. However, when I pushed open the door of the coffee shop, what I saw was Pei Chenyi. At that moment, my feelings were quite complicated.
"Why is it you?"
Pei Chenyi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why can't it be me?"
"..."
I silently looked at him. His status as a big star made me feel overwhelmed; I didn't know how to interact with him. He seemed to sense my concerns and smiled, "Don't be nervous; I'm just an ordinary person."
"..."
"And just like you, I'm also an employee of this shopping center," Pei Chenyi added.
I nodded gently, "I know."
"So..." Pei Chenyi stepped in front of me, looking down at me, "Can we interact normally?"
I was slightly taken aback and then awkwardly lowered my head, "I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay," Pei Chenyi smiled, "Let's get started."
"Okay." I nodded and then walked toward the coffee machine. Pei Chenyi followed me and said with a smile, "Let's have a competition."
"A competition?" I looked at him in confusion.
"Yes," Pei Chenyi nodded, "A coffee latte art competition."
"..."
Without hesitation, Pei Chenyi immediately called over several customers to act as judges. Then he began to focus seriously on his latte art. I stood by watching his concentrated expression and couldn't help but lose myself in thought. To be honest, his technique was very skilled, and his latte art looked great. But I had no intention of conceding. Taking a deep breath, I began to focus on my own latte art.
Soon, our competition attracted many customers who gathered to watch. Everyone took out their phones to take photos and videos, and some even live-streamed it. Half an hour later, the competition came to an end.
Pei Chenyi looked at me and smiled, asking, "Who do you think will win?"
I shrugged, "I don't know."
"I think..." Pei Chenyi paused, "you will win."
"..."
I awkwardly looked at him, "Don't say that."
"I'm serious," Pei Chenyi said with a smile, "your skills are really good; I admire you."
"..."
I was completely speechless.
In the end, we ended up in a draw.
After the event, Pei Chenyi looked at me with a smile, "You're quite impressive."
"Thank you for the compliment," I replied casually.
"But..." Pei Chenyi looked at me, "I think there's still room for improvement in your skills."
"..."
"For example, your coffee art just now; if you had slowed down a bit at the end, it might have looked even better," Pei Chenyi said seriously.
I was slightly taken aback, "Really?"
"Yeah," Pei Chenyi nodded, "you can try it next time."
"Okay, I will," I smiled.
"And..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment, "the latte art you did earlier was made with milk, right?"
"Yeah," I nodded, "what's wrong?"
"You..." Pei Chenyi looked at me, "are you sure that milk was okay?"
I was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
"I think there might be something wrong with that milk," Pei Chenyi frowned.
"..."
I stared at him for a long time, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi scratched his head awkwardly, "I got so excited earlier that I forgot."
"..."
...
After work in the evening, I returned home and had just finished showering when I received a phone call.
It was from Pei Chenyi.
"Hello?" I answered the call.
"Yao Yao..." Pei Chenyi's voice sounded a bit hesitant.
"Mm?" I asked curiously, "What's up?"
"Um..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment, "that milk really has a problem."
"..."
I took a deep breath: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi paused for a moment, "I'm sorry."
"..."
I was completely confused: "What are you talking about?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi paused again, "I used that milk to wash my face, and then my face had an allergic reaction."
"..."
I was utterly stunned.
"So..." Pei Chenyi said softly, "you mustn't use that milk either."
"..."
It took me a while to respond: "How is your face now?"
"It's already better," Pei Chenyi replied, "but I still feel very sorry. I didn't expect that milk would have a problem."
"..."
I sighed: "It's fine; I didn't drink it anyway."
"..."
Pei Chenyi was silent for a moment: "You didn't use that milk either?"
"Yeah." I nodded, "I didn't dare to use it."
"..."
Pei Chenyi was silent for a while again, then laughed: "Looks like we were pretty lucky."
"Yeah." I nodded, "Don't blame yourself; it's not your fault."
"Yeah." Pei Chenyi said softly, "Thank you for your understanding."
