"Did he… go out to buy breakfast?" He took a tentative guess.
This was not a strange reoccurence. Sometimes, when He Juan woke up earlier than usual – or not even sleeping at all – he would go to the breakfast stall on the corner of the street to buy steam buns (for both of them) and unsweetened soy milk (only for Mu Yuze). As thoughtful as he was, he would try to time it perfectly so that Mu Yuze would come out with a warm and piping breakfast on the table.
While Mu Yuze was making his coffee, he would sit in front of the counter and go through the morning news on his phone. Then, Mu Yuze would place the cup of coffee in front of him and receive a bright smile in return. Only then would they start to eat breakfast together.
That was the only explanation he could think of regarding why He Juan was not in the house, but—
But it did not explain Chen Youzhi's presence here.
Did He Juan need him for something, perhaps?
