"Is someone cursing me?"
Jason thought almost subconsciously.
But immediately, he shook his head.
Even with his current ’identity’, indeed many would curse him.
But it definitely wouldn’t be this ’mild’.
At the very least, it would be the life-threatening kind.
Thus, the other party wouldn’t use such a ’mild’ curse.
What else could it be?
A curse from beyond this world?
What kind of power would it take to curse him across worlds?
If there really were such an enemy, he would’ve been dead and buried long ago.
"The weather is getting cooler."
"Remember to dress warmly."
Hui Lijing, who was in the driver’s seat, said without turning back, then with a very stylish drift, parked the car next to the parking space beside the Polar Bear Cafthis was a ground parking space, marked on the pavement, and indeed, it was bought by Hui Lijing’s sister, Hui Lixiang. In fact, the lady had bought all three parking spaces next to the Polar Bear Café.
Jason responded and got out of the car to head upstairs.
Hui Lijing watched Jason enter the second-floor room before heading towards the café.
Due to various accidents, the café had already been closed for the day.
This was highly undesirable!
Her dream was to be a barista!
Therefore, Hui Lijing immediately flipped the sign.
Under the afternoon sun, the four characters were particularly conspicuous.
After briskly wiping down the tables and chairs and changing her clothes, Hui Lijing stood behind the bar.
Even though she said she would run it well, she couldn’t help but think about the events of the past few days.
"The firepower is too weak."
"I need a larger caliber weapon."
Almost involuntarily, Hui Lijing muttered to herself.
The wind chimes sounded.
A group of children burst in.
Among them, a little girl with a yellow cap, short black hair, rosy cheeks, a white shirt, and a red suspender dress was particularly eye-catching.
"Sister Hui Lijing, Pudding!"
The little girl shouted loudly as she came in.
Hui Lijing immediately responded with a smile.
Wasn’t her love for being a barista because she could see such pure smiles?
The wind chimes sounded again.
A bald old granddad walked in.
Hui Lijing recognized him; he was Cherry’s grandfather, a regular at the shop, a very cheerful old man who sometimes had a not-so-good memory.
And also, loved to boast.
Always talking about how strong he was in his younger days.
This time was no exception.
"Cherry, when granddad was young, I was really strong."
The old man said with a chuckle.
"Yep, with one punch, you could knock down a monster."
"But, granddad, you’d be even stronger in my eyes if you don’t snatch my Pudding."
Cherry protected her Pudding, warily watching her grandfather.
The old man patted Cherry’s head, emitting a joyful laughter.
Wasn’t this the life he wanted?
However, at this moment, a dark shadow appeared on the street outside the door.
He concealed his presence.
His fierce eyes scanned the Polar Bear Café.
Inside the room, the happy laughing grandfather suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh dear, I think I’ve dropped my senior citizen’s card outside."
"Cherry, wait here for a moment for granddad."
The bald grandfather got up and walked outside.
"Granddad is always so forgetful."
Cherry muttered under her breath.
Then, worried, she called out to the grandfather’s retreating figure.
"Go and come back quickly!"
"Alright, alright, I know."
The bald grandfather waved his hand and pushed open the door.
The slanting evening sunlight flooded in, bathing the old man’s clothes in yellow, and the evening breeze gently fluttered the old man’s clothes, making a fluttering sound like a cape shaking.
