" It's been so long, and you still haven't changed at all... Why are you still so quiet? "



Suddenly, there was a cold feeling around my neck. 



Ulysses apologized in time.



He reached out his hand and sat down in front of me with a smiling face: " Iced - free, sugar - free, and with tapioca pearls, your favorite, Four - Season Spring Macchiato. "



" Did I get it right? "



I took it and poked the straw all the way down.



After taking a sip of the milk tea, I replied:



" You haven't changed either. You're still so childish and talkative. "



Ulysses leaned back on the chair, his black hair falling in strands, looking a bit nonchalant.



" I'm only like this with you. If I hadn't grown up with you, I'd at least be a cold and handsome guy. "



Ulysses sighed:



" Unfortunately, you've been like an iceberg since childhood. If I were also an iceberg, it would be difficult for me to say twelve words to you in twelve years. "



I smiled and didn't comment.



" How have you been these years? "



Ulysses continued to chat with me.



" Pretty good. I've already started living a retired life ahead of time. How about you? "



" After graduating from college, I worked as a wildlife photographer for two years, getting close to nature. But I got injured some time ago, and my mother was so worried that she cried. I couldn't let her worry about me anymore. "



Saying this, Ulysses shrugged helplessly:



" Now I have to give it up and prepare to open a studio. "



" It sounds a bit of a pity... "



I folded my arms and raised my eyebrows teasingly:



" But at your age, you can still experience the passion of starting a business like a young person. It's like going back to being eighteen. "



Ulysses pretended to be angry and suddenly reached out to tap my forehead when I wasn't prepared.



I instinctively turned my head to avoid it.



Ulysses's hand froze in mid - air, and the atmosphere became a bit tense for a moment.



Ulysses casually withdrew his hand and brushed off the incident with a joke:



" Forget it. I, this young and handsome guy who's going back to being eighteen, have nothing to talk to you, an old person. "
