Abuse the Scum Storm

Chapter One: The First Encounter

Amid the hustle and bustle of a bustling city, there is a small coffee shop called "Cozy Corner of the Mind." On this day, the sunshine streaming through the windows falls upon the wooden tabletops, adding a cozy touch to the entire coffee shop.

Zhou Yue, a young professional woman, is sitting in a corner with a cup of coffee in her hand. There is a hint of tiredness in her eyes. She has just experienced a setback at work and is feeling down.

Meanwhile, Lu Yunfeng walked into the coffee shop. He was a freelance photographer, exuding a carefree and untamed air. Lu Yunfeng looked around, and his gaze finally landed on Zhou Yue. Her forlorn expression aroused his curiosity.

Lu Yunfeng walked towards Zhou Yue unconsciously, and spoke softly, "Is there anyone here?" Zhou Yue looked up and saw the handsome stranger in front of her, shook her head.

Lu Yunfeng sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. Then he smiled at Zhou Yue and said, "It looks like you're not feeling very good." Zhou Yue was surprised, but she replied calmly, "It's just something work-related. Nothing serious." Lu Yunfeng smiled and said, "Sometimes, talking to a stranger can help."

The two of them began to chat, ranging from work to life, from dreams to current worries. Zhou Yue found that Lu Yunfeng's words always managed to soothe her soul, while Lu Yunfeng...

From that day on, Zhou Yue and Lu Yunfeng's contact became more frequent. They would go to exhibitions together, stroll around the streets and alleys, and share their joys, sorrows, and anger with each other.

Lu Yunfeng would take Zhou Yue to take beautiful scenery photos and teach her how to capture beautiful moments in life with a camera. Zhou Yue would prepare a warm dinner for Lu Yunfeng when he was busy.

At a concert where they watched together, when the melodious music began to play, Lu Yunfeng gently held Zhou Yue's hand. Zhou Yue did not struggle to free herself, and in that moment, their hearts seemed to be closer than ever.

In their leisure time, they would sit on the benches in the park, watching the sunset and talking about their future aspirations. Lu Yunfeng said he wanted to travel the world and capture every touching moment with his camera, while Zhou Yue looked forward to making a name for herself in her field of work and achieving her own sense of value.

As they got to know each other better, Zhou Yue found that Lu Yunfeng, although he appeared carefree and unrestrained on the surface, had a deep longing for family and warmth in his heart. Lu Yunfeng was also deeply attracted by Zhou Yue's strength and kindness. Her hard work in the workplace and her unyielding spirit in facing difficulties impressed him greatly.

They volunteered together, bringing warmth to those in need. They also spent time in the library, searching for their favorite books and sharing their reading experiences. With each other's company, their lives became richer and more colorful, filled with laughter and warmth.

During the course of their interactions, Zhou Yue gradually realized that she had developed a special feeling for Lu Yunfeng. However, she was afraid to express her feelings easily, fearing that it was only her one-sided infatuation.

Lu Yunfeng was no different. He appreciated Zhou Yue's independence and kindness, but he was also worried that his free-spirited lifestyle would cause discomfort for Zhou Yue.

Just as their feelings for each other were quietly growing in their hearts, a misunderstanding suddenly struck.

One day, Lu Yunfeng's female photographer friend came to him to discuss a collaboration. They were engrossed in their conversation over coffee, laughing from time to time. This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Yue, who was passing by, and her heart sank immediately, mistaking Lu Yunfeng for having a special relationship with the female friend.

Zhou Yue did not approach and question, but turned away silently, filled with disappointment and pain. Lu Yunfeng was unaware of this and was still immersed in the discussion of his work.

In the following days, Zhou Yue purposely avoided Lu Yunfeng and did not reply to his messages, nor did she agree to meet him. Lu Yunfeng felt very confused and anxious, not knowing what he had done wrong.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yue was struggling within herself, suffering in silence. On one hand, she wanted to trust Lu Yunfeng, but on the other hand, she couldn't shake off the shadow of what she had seen.
