Chapter 964 Rewind ([-])

……

2005 years.

United States, California, San Francisco——

"Ring Ling~"

"Welcome~"

On a sunny beach, in a lively casual coffee shop, a white waiter who was standing behind the bar and wiping glasses saw a middle-aged woman with short gray hair and a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose Pushing the door open and coming in, he blinked, then quickly turned his head and whispered to the kitchen behind a layer of curtain: "Hey, Woo (宇), the person you were waiting for is here."

About a second later, a young and clear male voice came faintly from behind the curtain.

"Stop it for me, I'll come out right away."

"Ok!"

The white waiter made a gesture without hesitation, and along the way, he reached out to stop a waiter who wanted to take an order, and shook his head at him.

Such a small action is not very obvious, so no one noticed it for a while in a coffee shop with people coming and going.

Soon, a slender figure who had just washed his hands hurried out from behind.

He took off the black apron around his waist and handed it to the smiling white waiter beside him. The corners of his mouth were also hooked, and there was a gentle smile on his handsome face that made the eyes of some female customers who were secretly watching in the store shine. .

"I owe you a favor."

The white waiter raised his eyebrows, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Let's make it even with the last time you introduced me to Evan (Evan)."

"Ok!"

An unusual and straightforward response.

The white waiter's face immediately collapsed in a funny way, but he didn't pay attention to it for the time being, but with a slight smile on his lips, he cast his eyes on the man who was sitting by the window of the shop and started to work quietly. Middle-aged woman.

A pair of eyes that were as deep as black glass narrowed immediately, and then he calmly raised his hand to straighten the tie on his shirt neck, and then put on a handsome face that made people look at him. With a standard smile that was enough to make him feel good, he walked over.

"Sorry to bother you, may I help you?"

Accurately pronounced American English with a bit of an Asian accent that I can't get rid of in the short term, just like this gently spread into the middle-aged woman's ears.

She raised her head to look at him, a look of astonishment appeared on her slightly old and thin face, and there was a faint smile that she didn't even notice.

"We met again. It seems that we really have some fate. Is today also your working time?"

Instead of ordering the first time, the middle-aged woman first said so with a smile.

Originally, when a woman of her age said something like this to a teenager with excellent appearance like him, outsiders would feel a subtle sense of disobedience in their hearts more or less.

However, when these words came out of the mouth of a middle-aged woman, no one could come up with any strange thoughts.

When she spoke, her voice was very soft, like an elder talking softly to a younger generation, with a little Virginia accent from the east coast of the United States.

"Actually, I think it's because of the rules of your life, ma'am, that you can meet me every time."

Instead of following the middle-aged woman's words, she smiled slightly and responded in a slightly humorous tone.

He is very clear that if he shows the slightest aggressiveness at this time, it may ruin his next action.

"Okay~ It seems that I am really not suitable for striking up a conversation, the first sentence failed~"

The middle-aged woman was wearing a gray professional attire, and there was a black briefcase on the table next to her. Her appearance was not bad, but she was a bit intellectual and capable.

Generally speaking, people with her temperament would act in a rigid and serious manner, but she surprisingly showed a sense of humor, which made people feel a little fond of her .

However, there was no special reaction on his face, as if it was commonplace, he just asked with a smile, "Is it still the same?"

"Well. It looks like that."

Just a few jokes are enough, if it is not for the young waiter who has a good impression of her, middle-aged women will rarely talk to a stranger in public like this.

After hearing this, he still nodded with a smile, turned around and went to prepare without saying a word.

Not long after, when he brought a steaming cup of coffee to the table of the middle-aged woman, he didn't say much except for nodding impeccably, turned around and left with the plate.

"Hey, Woo..."

"Be patient, Robin, you look more anxious than I am."

Standing behind the bar, working as usual with all the waiters, while the white waiter next to him spread his hands and watched with a strange smile on his face, he wiped the glass in his hand with a clean white cloth While holding the cup, he glanced at the middle-aged woman sitting by the window from time to time with a normal expression.

As if quietly waiting for something.

Finally, finally, under the secret attention of one or two faint eyes, the middle-aged woman sitting by the window looked at the heavy laptop in front of her and let out a sigh of relief, raised her hand and pressed it down, He closed it, then picked up the cup of coffee in his hand, turned his head, and looked at the street scene outside the store with a relaxed expression.

"despair."

At the same time, in the palm of a slender hand, a glass that had been wiped clean was also placed on the table in due course.

He took a short breath, and finally there was a hint of excitement in his dark eyes that had been very calm since the beginning.

After observing during this period of time, he knew that the other party would habitually stay in the store for a longer period of time after finishing work each time. This was a good opportunity and the only opportunity for him.

"Wait a minute...Woo, are you sure you want to be today? If you fail, it will be over."

"There is no need to continue to wait and see, and the result will be the same if it is delayed."

He looked down at the sharp appearance again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he raised his head, smiled at the white waiter, and said, "Besides, I don't have time to procrastinate... I don't want to bet on her luck Possibility of finishing work and going back to Massachusetts."

"Okay~" Smacking his lips, the white waiter patted him on the shoulder, "Good luck, my friend. By the way, it doesn't matter if you fail, at least you still have me, Evan, and Jack... "

"I hope you are really blessing me sincerely."

Rolling his eyes slightly, he replied to this guy with some dumbfounding, then he straightened his face, turned and walked towards the figure in gray professional uniform by the window.

"Miss. Gilpin, may I have a moment of your time?"

The middle-aged woman was taken aback, and looked up subconsciously. When she saw the familiar slender figure appearing beside her, a genuine look of astonishment appeared on her slightly aged face.

Fortunately, she soon recovered from the sudden situation in front of her. She blinked, and the pair of dark blue eyes behind the clear glasses lenses couldn't help but narrowed, looking at that with a rather strange look. On Zhang's young and handsome face was a gentle smile that he was also familiar with.

After a while, she picked up the cup of coffee on her table again, took a sip, looked at him with interest, and said in the same soft tone as before: "If you can, Would you mind explaining to me what the situation is like now?"

"Of course, I'm happy to help you."

He didn't seem to be surprised by the reaction of the middle-aged woman. After a smile, he threw out a sentence so straightforward that people didn't know what to say:
"Simply put, I hope to win an opportunity from you, Miss. Gilpin, an opportunity to... enter Harvard to study."

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.

The middle-aged woman looked at him in surprise, then blinked thoughtfully, and said, "You mean...you have known who I am for a long time, and you have been observing it for a while?"

The so-called "observation" is not something the middle-aged woman casually said. After all, not long ago, she saw this little guy in front of her treat herself with the same attitude as she treats other guests. Since...he proposed Harvard Then it is impossible for him to know his identity in just a few ten minutes, and he also had an impromptu idea, right?
"Correct."

His attitude is still so honest that people don’t know what to say. After nodding and responding to the middle-aged woman’s words, he added: “To be precise, it’s from the first time you came to the store. At that time, I already knew your identity."

Now, the strange look on the middle-aged woman's face seemed to be a little stronger.

She thought for a while, and then asked, "I'm not so famous that even a student who works in a coffee shop here in San Francisco knows what I look like?"

"In fact, it's only because I have been paying attention to Harvard University for a long time, so I know some information about you, Ma'am."

After hearing what he said, the middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows a little. Instead of wondering why he was obsessed with Harvard, she suddenly turned her head and looked around at the environment the two of them were in now.

Then, she raised the cup of coffee in her hand, squinted her eyes, and said with no emotion on her face: "Let's not talk about other things, don't you think, you find me now, except for being presumptuous and impolite , the timing is also very wrong? It should be difficult for ordinary people not to be angry when encountering such a situation?"

"I know, but I have no choice. Besides... that's why I purposely communicated with you, ma'am, for a while to cultivate a good impression in advance."

It was a very concise answer, but the meaning of it was well understood by both parties present.

As if she understood what he was thinking, after listening to his words carefully, the middle-aged woman still didn't show much emotion on her face, she just tapped the handle of the coffee cup inadvertently, and continued: " Should I admire your courage and honesty, or should I hate your brazenness and straightforwardness?"

"Anyway, it's the truth. I don't think you can't see it, ma'am. It's just the best choice to be honest, and it has nothing to do with my own personality."

When he said this, his appearance still looked so calm. If the white waiter who was watching quietly behind him could see clearly his neither humble nor overbearing attitude, he would be speechless and say that this is not like an interview at all. The person, but the examiner in charge of the interview!

The same may be true for middle-aged women at this time.

After hearing such an answer, she once again looked at the handsome young man in front of her in surprise.

However, the result of the matter may surprise most people.

After barely thinking for a long time, the middle-aged woman looked down at her watch, nodded, and said, "I can give you about 5 minutes to let you say what you want to say to me, you ...Oh, by the way, what's your name, young man."

"Han Yu."

There was an undisguised smile of relief on his face, he sat down opposite the middle-aged woman, looked at her with a very serious look, and said with a smile:

"Han is Han, and Yu is Woo. Han Yu."

　Rewind means "rewind" in meaning, but I prefer to understand it literally - "wind of return".
