Qi Zi is just in his early twenties and is an ordinary company employee. Her parents run a small coffee shop, so they often call her to help out in the shop after get off work.

  That night, a new customer came to the store. He was a young guy, tall and thin, with a white shirt, and looked very energetic. As soon as the guy entered the store, Kaizi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: So handsome. Then, she hurriedly went up to greet the order. After a while, the boy finished his coffee and left. Kai Zi couldn't help but glance at his back again, and silently hoped in his heart: It would be great if he could visit again.

  I didn't expect that the young man would come every day for the next month. Not to mention how happy Kai Zi was, but every time the young man ordered coffee and smiled politely at her, he lowered his head to read newspapers and magazines; sometimes, he even avoided her sight. Several times, Qi Zi was about to lose his temper and wanted to come forward to say hello to him and ask him what he meant. But she thought again: What if I am self-indulgent? I am a girl, in full view of the public, making jokes, how embarrassing it would be. Alas, it would be nice if I could know his mind.

  One day, Kizi passed by a small shop where old things were replaced and was attracted by some small things in the glass window. Suddenly, she found a piece of paper attached to the inside of the window, which read: Do you want to know what other people are thinking? Please take telepathic medicine, it can help you read the inner world of others. Recently, the stock is limited, please make an appointment in the store to order.

  Kai Zi's heart skipped a beat, thinking: Telepathic medicine? Is it really that magical? She thought again: If you take this medicine, you can know how good the young man is thinking.

  So, she walked into the store. The owner is an old man with glasses. When he saw Kaizi enter the door, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Welcome, please come in, what do you want to buy?"

  Kai Zi hesitated and said, "I saw the advertisement posted outside, saying... can read people's minds... is what the above says true? Eating this can really read people's minds?"

  The boss hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Of course, I tried it, and the other party's thoughts will be clear at a glance! But keep your voice down, this medicine was shipped by us in secret, so I don't want to be too loud, so I have to sell it. Ah."

  When Kizi heard this, he quickly lowered his voice and asked dubiously, "Does this medicine taste complicated?"

  The boss also came up and said in a low voice: "It's very simple, just swallow a small pill, and then you look at the other party. At this time, you must concentrate, empty your mind, and the other party's thoughts will be It will naturally spread to your mind. Don't desert!"

  Seeing that the boss said something like that, Kaizi became interested. She asked, "How much will that cost?" The boss also simply offered: "Fifty thousand pills!"

  Kizi was startled when she heard this. This was her savings for several years. But she hesitated again and again, but still couldn't bear to give up, and said, "I don't have enough money today, please book one for me. But if it doesn't work..."

  The boss laughed when he heard it: "Don't worry, come to me if it doesn't work, and I'll help you with an idea! You are lucky, you are the last one, and the appointment is about to close!"

  Only then did Kizi believe it, signed the reservation form, and prepared to pick up the medicine the day after tomorrow.

  In this way, Kaizi managed to survive for two whole days, and finally came to the used goods replacement shop with the money. When the boss saw that it was her, he quickly greeted: "You're here? I've prepared everything for you."

  Kizi paid the money, took the pill, and took a look. It seemed to be no different from other pills. Seeing that she was a little suspicious, the boss hurriedly explained: "This is the last tablet in the store, you can only use it once. After swallowing it, the effect can only last for three minutes, you must make good use of it."

  Kizi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you, I will definitely make good use of it."

  After speaking, she immediately ran to the coffee shop and waited in a panic, worried that the young man would not come today.

  After half an hour, the young man came in! Still wearing a clean white shirt, still so handsome. Kai Zi's face turned red. She quickly calmed down, tidied up her apron, brought a glass of cold water, and asked him what he needed to drink.

  The young man lowered his head and said, "Please have a cup of coffee."

  Kaizi replied "Wait a minute" and returned to the counter. However, she was not busy making coffee, but slowed down, took out the pill and swallowed it. Then, she took a deep breath and stared at the young man. I saw that the young man was probably impatient with waiting, took a sip of water, and looked this way. Kaizi hurriedly and subconsciously wanted to avoid the gaze, but then thought again: Don't be timid, you have to empty your head to read his mind... So, she immediately greeted her gaze again.

  However, after a full minute, the young man was thinking, but Kaizi couldn't read anything. Kaizi persisted for another three minutes, but still nothing worked.

  Fooled! Kai Zi thought to himself: That old man is talking nonsense! How can you read people's hearts with such a pill? I was so fascinated that I lost my head.

Qi Zi was furious, took off his apron, and ran straight out. The young man saw her just now, looked surprised, and watched her out of the coffee shop.

  Kai Zi ran into the old-fashioned replacement shop in one breath. When the boss saw her, he quickly asked with a smile, "How is it? The effect is good!"

  Kai Zi said angrily: "Not bad what? It's a lie at all. Give me the money back!"

  The boss hurriedly asked, "Hey, don't get excited, what happened? Can you tell me?"

  "I did exactly what you said. But the medicine didn't work at all!" Kai Zi said before and after that that he didn't read the young man's mind.

  The boss was puzzled: "As soon as that person appeared, you took it? And when you looked at him, you didn't think about anything else?" Kai Zi said excitedly: "Of course, I stared at him for three minutes!"

  "No, you wait." The boss pondered for a long time and said, "Ah, I understand." Then, he explained, "This kind of situation is rare, and the medicine is definitely fine. If you don't read him mind, then there is only one situation that can explain this phenomenon, that is, the young man also emptied his mind at that time, and his mind didn't think about anything!"

  Kiko still didn't quite understand and asked, "Huh? What's going on here?"

  The boss hurriedly smiled and said, "That is to say, when that young man looked at you, his head was empty. Then, at that time, he happened to be trying to read your mind."

  Hearing this, Kai Zi opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe his ears.

  At this time, the boss suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Hey, look, is it him?" Kai Zi turned around and saw that the young man happened to be pulling the door to come in.

  The boss smiled knowingly and said, "He was the one who ordered the pills in front of you. It seems that he, like you, is here to investigate the efficacy of the medicine. How about it? This time, should I explain it again, or do you tell him yourself?"
