At the corner of Rongcheng Old Street, there is a handmade coffee shop called "Sugar Frost". When Lin Youbai was mixing coffee behind the bar in a beige apron, she could always see Gu Mingjun, a young surgeon from the hospital opposite. The way he held the takeaway cup with his long fingers was as graceful as holding a scalpel, but he frowned beautifully when he tasted her creative coffee.
"This time's ginger-osmanthus latte..." He paused, "is even scarier than last week's coriander chocolate."
Lin Youbai stood on tiptoe to grab the coffee cup, but when she turned around, she knocked over the honey jar. The sticky golden syrup snaked along the marble countertop, much like her chaotic heartbeat after meeting Gu Mingjun.
When a stray cat picked up on a rainy day is forced to stay at a doctor's house, and when the new tenant turns out to be Dr. Gu, who only wears house clothes and makes breakfast, Lin Youbai discovers that this seemingly aloof "coffee reviewer" hides his skills in carving roses with a scalpel and his gentleness of always sending her home after late night shifts.
"Want to try the newly developed coffee?" She pushed the steaming mug over.
"This time it's a serious caramel macchiato." Gu Mingjun took off his gold-rimmed glasses and suddenly held her hand that was stained with milk foam, "I want to try it more than coffee..."
His kiss fell on her frosted fingertips.
