He quickly stepped out from behind the counter and came up to her, smiling shyly. "Xiao Mo, I thought you weren't going to come!"
"I'm really sorry, Manager. I might not be able to come anymore," Hua Xiaomo said, feeling somewhat guilty.
Zhou Xiyang smiled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I had a feeling you might not stick around for long. But I've definitely made a friend in you, Xiao Mo. Make sure you come by often!"
Hua Xiaomo looked up at him. His sunny smile was full of gentleness, which made her feel shy too. "Sure, Manager."
"Just call me Xiyang."
"Mhm."
Hua Xiaomo smiled. As she was about to leave, Zhou Xiyang suddenly grabbed her elbow, pulled her to a quieter area of the store, and said with a faint smile, "Xiao Mo, there's a favor I want to ask you, if you have time..."
Hua Xiaomo looked at his mysterious expression. "Just tell me. If I can help, I definitely will."
