After coming down from the temple, Xiang Huan declined the offer from his grandmother to stay and returned to Xu Jiandong's house alone.
Not long after entering, she started to have a fever.
He took out the thermometer and measured his temperature. It was soon 38.6 degrees. Fortunately, he had a spare medicine box at home. Xiang Huan found antipyretic medicine, took it and lay down on the bed.
She closed her eyes, but her mind never stopped, thinking over and over again the words she heard in the temple, and the way the old monk looked at her before he left.
Feeling uncomfortable all over his body, and with a dull pain in his heart as if being stirred by a small flame, Xiang Huan struggled to get up.
She felt it was difficult to breathe and wanted to go out for a walk or find a place to sit and wait for the antipyretic medicine to take effect and get better.
Just after leaving the community and walking aimlessly on the roadside for a few steps, Chengye sent a WeChat message asking Xiang Huan what he was doing and whether he had been to a coffee shop today.
Xiang Huan lowered his head and looked at his phone. He typed a few words and deleted them all without replying.
She still couldn't calm down. When she thought of the old monk's words of "seeking refuge", tears wanted to well up in her eyes.
I wanted to take the initiative to contact Cheng Ye to ask for clarification, but in the end I held back.
Xiang Huan touched his face. It was very hot. His body temperature probably hadn't dropped yet, and the discomfort on his body hadn't eased.
She stood on the side of the road and hailed a scooter that was pulling people in the town. She told the location of the coffee shop and prepared to go to the shop.
When we arrived at the coffee shop, there were quite a lot of customers and there was no room at the moment, so Xiang Huan had to order coffee and stand aside to wait.
A male waiter wearing the store's uniform came over to her, greeted her politely, and asked her if she was the lady named Xiang.
Xiang Huan looked at the store uniform he was wearing and thought to himself that he
She was recognized, but she had no impression of the boy in front of her, so she answered yes.
"I said you read it right! Hello, sister, I am the new barista in the shop. I came from Lincheng. I used to work in the coffee shop where my sister always went. Don't you remember me?" Male waiter Pull down the mask you are wearing to expose your full face.
Xiang Huan still had no impression after seeing it, but he was embarrassed to speak directly, so he nodded vaguely, said hello, and asked why he came to work here.
"Sister, there is an empty seat. You go and sit down first. I have twenty minutes to rest and will find you later." The male waiter saw that there was an empty seat and hurriedly took Xiang Huan to sit there.
Xiang Huan sat down. The sudden greeting made him temporarily forget about the bad things in his heart, and instead he felt relaxed.
When it was lunch break, the waiter brought a piece of cake to Xiang Huan, saying it was a new product in the store and asking her to try it. He sat down with the iced American cake.
"Actually, I recognized you when my sister came over a few days ago, but since you didn't identify yourself, I didn't come over. I knew you must be here to conduct a secret inspection on behalf of our boss." The male waiter was very talkative, with a hint of humor in his tone. Full of youthful energy.
Xiang Huan originally thought that no one in the store knew her, but when such an unexpected situation happened, she stopped pretending and said that she was here to take a rest and help her friends to check out the store.
"Don't be nervous. I'm an unofficial employee and won't say anything to your boss. Besides, I've been here twice and I feel pretty good." Xiang Huan didn't want the atmosphere in the store to be tense because of her, so she explained to the male waiter.
"clear."
Xiang Huan looked at the customers queuing up at the bar to order and asked how the business was going.
Is that so good?
"No, I don't know what happened in the past few days. It's probably because I was replaced at the coffee station, which attracted customers, hahaha!" the male waiter replied a little bit.
Xiang Huan also curled up his lips at what he said, and asked him how he came here from Lincheng.
The waiter said that he just wanted to get away from home and see the outside world, so he came over when he had this opportunity.
Xiang Huan smiled, took a sip of coffee, and asked him how he knew he was friends with the boss here.
"Well, I told you, sister, don't be angry," the waiter tried a little awkwardly, but did not explain immediately.
"Don't be angry, just say it."
waiter
After glancing around, he said that he actually found out by reading the gossip news on the Internet.
Xiang Huan really didn't expect such a way of knowing. After hearing this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and continue drinking coffee.
She hoped that the male waiter would be wise enough to say goodbye and leave. She didn't want to talk any more.
"Sister, please take your time and sit down. If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll go and get busy first." Fortunately, the male waiter really had a nice face, and he quickly found an excuse and left voluntarily.
When he returned to the coffee machine, Xiang Huan saw another WeChat message from Cheng Ye on his phone.
This time I sent a photo directly. It was when Xiang Huan was sitting in the coffee shop talking to the waiter. I don’t know who in the shop took the photo and sent it to Narino.
Xiang Huan replied to WeChat and said that she had just come to sit down and that the male waiter was from Lincheng.
When Narino replied, he didn't mention the waiter. He only asked if your face didn't look good and if you felt unwell.
It was a not very clear photo, and he could see that he was in a bad condition.
.
Xiang Huan didn't say that he had a fever, but just replied that he hadn't slept well and might feel better after drinking coffee.
Chengye directly sent a video call, and Xiang Huan answered it with a frown.
"I will also be in town tomorrow night. Do you need me to bring you anything? I just want to ask this." In the video, Chengye stared at Xiang Huan with a serious face.
Xiang Huan looked a little uncomfortable, shook his head and said nothing, and asked Chengye why he came here.
"Aren't you worried that if I leave, no one will keep an eye on the decoration of the house? The second young master of the Xu family promised that he will be responsible. After all, it is a big business for his company, and the boss will personally do it." Narino's face softened a little, but he still stared intently. Tight item Huan.
Xiang Huan laughed and didn't explain, waiting for Cheng Ye to tell him why he wanted to come too.
"Remember that that area is going to be demolished and re-planned. All parties are going to sit down for a meeting. I have to come over in person. I just received the news in the morning." After Narino finished speaking this time, he finally looked away. one time.
Xiang Huan felt a little bad when he heard this.
She knew where the land Narino was talking about was, it was the former site of the dance hall fire, and it was the last thing she wanted to mention.
But then I thought about it, I could see Narino soon, and my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, making me feel like an extremely emotionally unstable patient.
Xiang Huan stared at the screen of her mobile phone in trance. In fact, she was a patient, with both physical and mental problems.
"Why are you so stunned? Go back early and have a good sleep. I don't want to see a pair of panda eyes when tomorrow night arrives." Narino noticed her eyes.
After ending the call, Xiang Huan felt that the discomfort in his body seemed to have begun to lessen. It should be that the antipyretic medicine began to take effect.
I sat there for a while and touched
Touching my forehead is not as hot as before.
Xiang Huan breathed a sigh of relief, at least she didn't feel that she would be sick when Chengye came over. She got up and went to the bar to say goodbye to the male waiter.
Other people in the store also knew who Xiang Huan was, and they all took the initiative to say hello to her.
One of the local girls, after looking at Xiang Huan, suddenly said, "You are much prettier than the girl the boss brought here, and you have a better temperament than her!"
Everyone stared at the girl sideways.
"Shut up, what do you know." The waiter scolded the girl in a low voice.
"Thank you for the compliment. You guys are busy. I'll leave first." Xiang Huan pretended not to hear anything, turned around and left with a smile.
After leaving the coffee shop, her face immediately dropped, and she felt like a big blockage was stuck in her heart, making her very unhappy.
It's not just because of the girl's words just now, it's because of all the recent squeezes, which exploded with the girl's words.
Xiang Huan now really wants to find a place to vent.
