Half a month later, Jin Mo saw Shi Yan again on her way to work.
She wore clean jeans and a hoodie, topped with a duckbill cap that wrapped her up tightly, but she still looked like a student.
The first time she saw her, Jin Mo only saw a mature-looking woman with deep thoughts, unaware that she was actually a student at Ningjiang University.
At such a young age to take on such a job, she must have been forced by life's circumstances. Jin Mo had never looked down on her, but felt a sense of pity deep down. She was sure Shi Yan would regret her decisions in the future, as they would cast a lifelong shadow over her.
Although she dressed like an ordinary student, the sadness in her eyes wasn't something a student should possess. At her age, she was supposed to be carefree, without parents looking over her shoulder, able to spend her time and money as she pleased, brimming with vitality, and full of longing for the future.
"Miss Jin, may I buy you a cup of coffee?"
