Zan Fu looked through the windows to the stars in the sky. He remembered a simpler time when everything wasn't so insane. These thought led to the very day that everything went wrong. The day he discovered that Braedon was a cultivator.
Maybe if that had never happened, then everything would be as normal as before. If the butterfly effect was true, then this was definitely a possibility. Zan Fu sat back on his bed and closed his eyes. He wasn't sleeping, he was meditating.
Time passed as he collected his thought and cleared his mind. Eventually the morning sun rose lighting up his room in an orange glow. He slowly opened his eyes, only to be blinded by the yellow star.
He slapped on some clothes, grabbed a granola bar, and ran outside to do his usual routine once his vision readjusted itself. Carbucks was in view when he noticed a familiar looking car nearby.
He didn't really pay much attention to it as he entered the cafe without a second thought. He stepped into the familiar setting, with the rich scent of coffee and freshly baked pastries in the air. The same barista that had been at the counter every time he visited waved to him.
He walked over and didn't even asked for anything, she already had something prepared for him. When he stepped up the barista leaned in close to him, "So are you waiting for your friend?" She said in a playful manner.
Zan Fu gave off a smile and shrugged, "Like usual. Of course there is always the chance that he will never arrive." Zan Fu noticed that the corner of the women's eye was twitching. He wasn't sure why but he felt as if she was judging him harshly.
He sat down at a table nearby after talking with the worker for a few more minutes. While sitting in the table, he felt the gaze of someone watching over him. He didn,t back since he was worried that the culprit might find out that he noticed him/her.
He heard the cushion behind him puff up and knew that the person had stood up. The quiet footsteps confirmed his suspicion and Zan Fu prepared himself for any trouble that might occur. They sounded a bit heavy meaning that whoever it was, was probably male.
When the man was directly behind of him, Zan Fu felt a hand land on his shoulder. He slowly turned around to find a familiar, big, thick, and meaty arm grabbing him, "Xiao Hagen?"
Connected to the arm was Xiao Hagen, Braedon and his friend. The unexpected identity of the person came as a shock to Zan Fu. With a wide grin, Xiao Hagen simply said, "Sup!"
They hugged and sat down together. Xiao Hagen started snacking on a small croissant that he had ordered. Zan Fu just sat back looking at the front door. "Are you looking for someone?" Xiao Hagen noticed that he was constantly watching the door and asked.
"Yeah, a friend of mine was suppose to meet up with me here. I wonder if something happened." A playful glint appeared in Xiao Hagen's eye when he said this, "Oh my, is it possible that you are meeting up with your girlfriend?"
He laughed when Zan Fu playfully punched his shoulder, "Or is it a fan of your webnovel?"
Zan Fu shook his head, "I don't have those." A few more quick jabs followed the earlier remarks, until finally the person Zan Fu was expecting stepped through the door. Why Rong was later than usual, but he couldn't blame him. Large bags were under his eyes and he looked even thinner than he did yesterday.
Zan Fu stood up to go greet him. Xiao Hagen looked at Shu Rong, then at Zan Fu, the. Sh Rong again. A smirk formed on the corner of his mouth as he got up and walked to the barista at the counter. He didn't understand why his friend went over there, but Zan Fu thought that it was for the best anyway.
He arrived at Shu Rong's side and held him up by his arm. "Are you okay?" They walked over to the table that he was just at. Shu Rong slumped into the chair looking as if he was dying. Zan Fu walked over to Xiao Haven and the barista.
"I need one slice of every cake you have." The barista froze for a second while Xiao Hagen stood in the background trying to hold back his laugh. She immediately started chuckling and went ahead with the order. He returned to his seat afterwords.
Shu Rong looked at Zan Fu in a lazy manner, "I'm sorry, I know the agreement was for me to give you some information every visi-"
"Don't worry about it. Just hang in there, I ordered something for you to eat." Shu Rong nodded slowly as if confused and then thanked him. Once the cake arrived, he looked at Zan Fucas if looking at an idiot, "Do you really think I can eat all of this?"
He shook his head, "No, but if we worked together then we might be able to make a dent in it." A smiled formed on both of their faces as they picked up a fork on the side and began to dig in. They finished only 2/3 of the cake but they finished satisfied. After a short break, Shu Rong looked at him gratefully, "Thanks."
Zan Fu got up and paid for the food. He walked over back to the table, "Don't worry about the information, get yourself some good rest. Also if you want, come visit my house once in a while."
He left the cafe soon after only to have Xiao Hagen chase after him. He patted Zan Fu's back saying how proud he was. Zan Fu knocked away his arm and they walked on to their classes.
Despite everything that had happened recently, Zan Fu still went to his classes once in a while. He wasn't too worried about them, especially now that he had just broken through and basically obtained an eidetic memory.
"I feel like you have been more distant lately Zan Fu." Xiao Hagen began talking while they casually walked around the place. "Did something happen?" Zan Fu shook his head denying. Kai Hagen's question.
"No, I am just... having trouble finding someone."
"Who?"
"Don't worry about it." As time passed, Zan Fu returned home after hanging with Xiao Hagen until the sun went down.
He arrived at his front gate to find something surprising, Shu Rong stood there in the middle of the night. The problem was that it was freezing cold and he was shivering nonstop.
"Shu Rong!" He ran up and grabbed him by his sleeve. "What are you doing here?"
He looked at Zan Fu with wide eyes, "I think I found Braedon!"
