"Are you Empire Without Sunset?" Rose asked.
Jay nodded.
After getting the confirmation, she said, "I’m your internet friend, Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber. Look how I've come all the way here to support your business. How about you treat me to supper?"
Jay still only just nodded.
Glancing at the price list next to him, she laughed happily before saying, "You only make 15 yuan from sticking on a film. Are you sure you can afford to buy me supper?"
Jay stuck on the protective film on her phone and handed it to her.
She reached out to pick it up as Jay slowly raised his head.
"What do you want to eat?"
Rose heard this familiar voice and suddenly raised her head. Having seen Jay, Rose was stunned.
Her lips were stammering for a long time before she hesitated and called out, "Sir... Ares. It's you?"
Jay took off the peaked cap, revealing his perfect face that looked like a sculpture. He looked straight at Rose.
Picking up the phone, she calmly scanned the QR
code to pay.
She then confronted Jay calmly, saying, "Mr. Ares, your skills with the protective film is good. I will come to support your business again next time."
With that, she calmly stepped back a few steps, turned around, and ran.
Jay had guessed that she would pull this stunt. His long legs dashed forward as he rushed into the pouring rain with Rose.
"Rose, stop."
Taking advantage of his long legs, Jay cut Rose off at the intersection.
"Mr. Ares, you've got the wrong person. I’m not Rose." Rose's tears had mixed with the rain, but her hoarse and choked voice betrayed her emotions.
Jay looked at her fixedly, desperately restraining the urge to hold her in his arms. He was trying to opt for a n alternative that would show he respected her.
"Please leave."
