"Hello, what would you like to drink?"
Behind Chaoge's bar, the clerk wearing thick glasses looked at the young woman in a casual dress in front of him with a professional smile on his face, but he felt a burst of curse in his heart.
Originally, the business in the store was average, and it was still a working day in the morning. People were going to work and school. I was just about to take a nap when a customer came in. It didn't look like there was any good coffee in the store.
"Do you have any recommendations in your store?" The woman looked at the environment in the store curiously.
"Vanilla latte bar, our boss's favorite." the clerk replied casually. Anyway, in my opinion, the taste of the coffee is the same, no matter what I drink.
"Then let's have a cup of vanilla latte." The woman followed the suggestion and opened the payment code on her mobile phone. "Is your boss in the store now?"
The clerk quickly scanned the code and turned around to find the coffee beans he had put there last night.
"You should still be sleeping upstairs. It's only ten o'clock now. Our boss usually doesn't get up until noon."
"Do you sleep until noon every day?" the woman asked curiously.
"Absolutely. Unless something happens in the morning, he won't get up. He never gets up in the morning." The clerk glanced at the woman, "Does the lady know our boss?"
The woman tilted her head and said with a smile: "We know each other, we just had dinner together last week."
"Blind date?" The clerk suddenly became interested.
The woman thought for a moment and nodded.
"That's really rare. I thought our boss liked men." The clerk said a little surprised.
"Why do you say that."
The clerk stopped what he was doing, took two steps outside the bar, stretched his head and looked at the stairs to make sure no one was there, then came back and whispered: "I have been in this store for three years, except for Xia Xia. , I have never seen the boss say a few words to other women, and when a good-looking woman comes to the store, the boss doesn't even bother to look at her.
Our boss is pretty handsome, right? Many young girls approached him but he ignored them. He didn't even have a mobile phone and didn't make friends. Tell me, this must mean he is not interested in women. "
"Perhaps he hasn't met the type he likes yet?" the woman speculated, "Maybe he believes in love at first sight and becomes interested once he meets someone. But if he really likes a man, it would be quite exciting. .”
Women have always had a strange sense of excitement about things between men.
"So, you have fallen in love with our boss at first sight?"
"That's not really true. I just think this person is quite interesting. He seems to be a little out of touch with this society, as if he is still living in the last century." The woman described it.
The clerk nodded repeatedly, "Well, it's already 2022, and there are still people who don't use mobile phones. No, it's not just mobile phones, they don't even use any electronic devices. I see that the lamps he lives upstairs are from the last century. With a kerosene lamp, a young man made himself as nostalgic as an old man in his seventies or eighties."
"But I still advise you, try not to be too interested in him. I really feel that he has no idea about relationships at all. Even a beautiful girl like Xia Xia hangs around him every day. He No one can be moved."
"Is the Xia Xia you're talking about also from this store?" When she heard the name for the second time, the woman was inevitably a little curious.
"Yes, Xia Xia is another boss in this store. The big boss never cares about the decoration and management of the store. Xia Xia is in charge of the store's business.
Although Xia Xia is just a student who has just entered college, her brain works very fast. Without her, this store probably wouldn't make a penny. "
"Although I was losing money originally." The clerk added after thinking for a while.
"Then what's the relationship between her and your boss? Is she a relative or a cooperative relationship?"
"It's adoption." The clerk thought for a moment and replied, "I heard that Xia Xia's parents died in a car accident when she was a child, and she was later sent to an orphanage.
After staying in the orphanage for only two years, the boss took her in and adopted her, and she has been there ever since. Speaking of which, our boss is a good person. "
"Is she very beautiful?" the woman asked thoughtfully.
"If she comes down later, you can take a look. As soon as she entered college, she was ranked at the top of the rankings of major colleges and universities in Jiangbei. Moreover, she is a beauty without makeup, unlike ordinary people like us who wear a layer of makeup on our faces every day. It’s not as good-looking as anyone else on the internet.”
The clerk sighed, but soon he saw the professional makeup on the face of the woman opposite him from the corner of his eye, and quickly explained: "Oh, I'm talking about ordinary people like us. Miss, you are also a rare beauty. Walking in The number of people turning heads on the street is definitely high.”
The woman smiled and didn't care about the clerk's words. Instead, she became more curious about the girl named Xia Xia.
"With such a beautiful girl by your side, won't your boss be tempted?"
"No, that's why I thought he doesn't like women. He pursues Xia Xia every day. The men who come to the store to give gifts are lined up from the south of the city to the north. If I were a man, I would also pursue him. In the end, this one has the best chance. People just don’t do anything,” the clerk agreed.
"Sister Xie, what are you talking about me again?"
On the stairs not far away, the girl seemed to have just woken up, her voice was hazy, and she was still yawning.
The woman followed the sound and saw that at the corner of the stairs, a girl wearing pink bear pajamas was holding a half-human tall pink bear doll in her arms, looking sleepily at the hall downstairs.
The girl looks very youthful. She probably hasn’t put on makeup when she just woke up, but her skin is fairer than most women who wear thick foundation. She has an oval face with perfect curves and frowns, but she can still Her big eyes and delicate facial features are just like those of a heroine in a Japanese comic. Coupled with her bright red long hair, she not only does not look gorgeous, but instead has the sense of a high school delinquent girl in a novel.
"What else can I say? I just want to compliment you on how beautiful you are." Sister Xie handed the mixed coffee to the woman in front of her, "If you add a little ice, it will taste better."
"Thanks."
The woman nodded, turned around, walked to the hall, picked a table and sat down.
"Then I'm really touched." The girl pouted, rubbed her eyes and walked to the bar. "It's rare to have a customer this morning. It seems that our store is really developing in a good direction."
Sister Xie came over and whispered, "I seem to be here for the boss."
"It's not surprising. Little girls are attracted to him when he goes out for a walk like this. Sometimes I really want to take him to the streets to attract more customers to the store." Su Jianxia was not surprised.
"But from what she said, it seemed like she had a blind date with the boss last week."
"What are you talking about? Do you think the old man is someone who would do such a thing? Me... um? Wait a minute, a blind date?" Su Jianxia suddenly sobered up in the middle of speaking, "Ah, yes, it seems... If this is really the case, doesn’t it mean that the woman didn’t like him, so why did she chase him directly into the store?”
"It seems to be love at first sight, right?" Sister Xie recalled.
"It's 2202 years old and you're still here playing love at first sight. I think you're not too young." Su Jianxia pretended to glance at her casually, "It's okay, I'll come and meet her."
Su Jianxia looked down at her own clothes, hugged the bear and ran back upstairs. After about twenty minutes, she walked down the stairs again.
Sister Xie adjusted her glasses and wiped the lenses.
The innocent female college student who was wearing bear pajamas just now has now changed into a smart white shirt and a hip-hugging skirt. Her hair has been curled up from the original high ponytail with a curling iron into a few waves and draped behind her back.
I have seen Su Jianxia wearing casual daily clothes, loose tops and short skirts and shorts. At most, the exposed legs can be seen to be even in thickness and flawless. With a height of 170+ and perfect body proportions, the The advantage of her legs is particularly obvious. No man walking on the street will not look back.
But after putting on this slightly mature outfit today, Sister Xie realized how good her figure was that she usually kept hidden under those loose clothes. Very few people can maintain the size of their waist and legs despite being bulging forward and backward, but it is precisely because the waist and legs are thin that they appear more convex and backward, and the two complement each other.
If those little boys had seen it on weekdays, people who come to the shop to drink coffee would probably have to queue at the intersection now.
What does this mean? Seeing that the other party has this style, you also respond with the same style? I can already smell the gunpowder before I even talk about it.
Thinking of this, Sister Xie silently took two steps back.
"Hello, Miss Xu, my name is Su Jianxia. This is our first meeting. Please give me your advice."
Xu Chenxi put down her phone when she heard the voice. She raised her head and saw a Su Jianxia with a completely different style from before. Her eyes widened. It took a while before she realized what she was doing and took hold of Su Jianxia's stretched out hand, "Hello, Miss Su, do you know my name?"
"I heard it when Sister Wang introduced her before. Sister Wang is right. Miss Xu is indeed a rare beauty." Su Jianxia sat across from her without any courtesy and looked Xu Chenxi up and down.
"If I heard this before, I might be happy, but now in front of Miss Su, I dare not agree that I am a beauty." Xu Chenxi said sincerely.
She was just a high school girl in the comics, but now she is a mature urban woman. Although she still has the face of a teenage girl, her well-developed figure just makes up for it.
"Miss Xu is here to see my uncle?" Su Jianxia got straight to the point.
"Your uncle?" Xu Chenxi was stunned.
"It's the owner of this store, Wei Ziqi. Because he is much older than me, I call him uncle." Su Jianxia explained, "The result of the last blind date seems to be that Miss Xu is quite satisfied with him?"
Xu Chenxi thought for a while, "I can't say that I am completely satisfied. I can only say that this person was really interesting during the process. I happened to pass by here today, so I stopped by to see what kind of store he opened. .”
"That's really a pity. You can't see the owner's personality and preferences in this store." Su Jianxia squinted and said with a smile, "Because all the decorations in the store were chosen according to my preferences."
Xu Chenxi glanced at the pink bear stickers that could be seen everywhere in the store, "It can be seen that people like him probably don't like pink bears."
"Miss Xu, do you want to continue to get to know my uncle?"
"We should both be of marriageable age, and I actually go on quite a few blind dates. I rarely meet anyone I'm interested in."
Su Jianxia raised her eyebrows, a little surprised by Xu Chenxi's straightforwardness.
Although she is extremely confident in herself, Xu Chenxi is also a rare type among ordinary people. She wears a loose casual dress that cannot hide her curves. She has some light makeup on her face and some There is a kind of leadership style of successful people. At first glance, it looks like the all-powerful female boss in the workplace.
"Ms. Xu, are you sure that your uncle is also interested in you?"
"He is indeed a very strange person. I can't see his attitude or emotions at all." Xu Chenxi paused and continued, "So I decided to come over and have a look. Maybe I can get to know him better if I get in touch with him. .”
Su Jianxia frowned without revealing any trace, "He is not someone who can be understood by contact."
"But if you don't contact me, you will never know if you have a chance to get to know me. Maybe if you contact me a few more times, he will find that he is also interested in me? Even if he is not interested, I have tried it, and the result is not important." Xu Chenxi looked at the people in front of him. Girl, with a smile on her face.
Su Jianxia opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
"Now that Miss Xu has made up her mind, just wait here. He won't get up before noon."
"It doesn't matter. I have a day off today. I don't have much to do. The environment here is quite good. It's relaxing to sit here for a while."
Su Jianxia stopped talking, stood up with a straight face, and walked back upstairs crookedly.
Only then did Xu Chenxi realize that she was wearing a pair of high heels that didn't fit very well.
For people who have to work on time every day, the time at work always passes by minute by minute, but when relaxing, hours and hours pass by inadvertently.
So it was soon past twelve o'clock at noon, and when Xu Chenxi was considering whether to have a meal first, a familiar figure wandered around the corner of the stairs.
Similar to Su Jianxia who just woke up, Wei Ziqi also yawned and walked down the stairs with a sleepy look on his face. However, he had already changed his clothes. Xu Chenxi wondered if he still looked so sleepy even after sleeping. Didn't sleep at all that night.
"Boss, the lady over there has been waiting for you for three hours." Seeing that Wei Ziqi didn't even look at the hall, Sister Xie couldn't help but remind her.
Wei Ziqi was stunned and turned to look over. Xu Chenxi was tilting his head and extending his hand to say hello to him.
Wei Ziqi hesitated for a moment, walked to the other side of the table in front of Xu Chenxi, and said with a puzzled look, "Hello, are you looking for me?"
"You don't remember me, right?" Xu Chenxi was a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, I have a bad memory as I get older..." Wei Ziqi looked at the slightly familiar face in front of him. On the surface, he looked a little slow, but in his mind, he was going through all the women he knew. Once again, but none of them could match the face in front of me.
Xu Chenxi took a breath of air, "We just had dinner together last week, Japanese food, introduced by Sister Wang."
Wei Ziqi's eyes were in a daze, and it took him a long time to realize, "Ah, it's you. I'm sorry, I've really had a bad memory recently."
"Then you must not remember my name, right?"
Wei Ziqi was a little embarrassed and chose not to speak.
Xu Chenxi only felt a little angry and funny, and then took out a notebook and a pen from her bag, opened a page, wrote her name, and handed it to Wei Ziqi.
"I'm telling you this for the last time, put it away. I'll be angry if you don't remember it next time you come over."
Wei Ziqi took the note, glanced at it and silently put it into his pocket.
"Miss Xu came here specifically to find me?"
"You can't just come here to drink coffee." Xu Chenxi commented, "The coffee in your store is indeed much better than other coffees I've had, but I definitely won't make a trip just for coffee."
"Oh, by the way, I told you when we had dinner last time that I like to drink fruit tea."
"What's the matter with Miss Xu?" Wei Ziqi asked.
"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Xu Chenxi rolled her eyes, "Is this an okay reason to get to know my blind date better?"
Wei Ziqi immediately shut his mouth because he felt a bit cool behind him.
Xu Chenxi tilted her body, looked around Wei Ziqi, and saw Su Jianxia who was leaning on the stair railing behind her with an unfriendly expression.
The girl who looked mature just now has now changed into a black JK uniform, and her long burgundy hair is no longer casually hanging around her back, but is tied up in a high ponytail.
"Why, you won't be controlled by a little girl, right?" Xu Chenxi raised her eyebrows.
"That's not true, I just don't know how to answer." Wei Ziqi said truthfully, "I really don't have any experience in this area."
"It doesn't matter. I have plenty of experience and I can teach you. You just need to provide me with the time."
Although it was a proactive word, Xu Chenxi looked at Su Jianxia and said it.
Without turning his head, Wei Ziqi could feel the murderous gaze of the girl behind him. He was thinking quickly about how to answer this sentence. If he didn't reply, he would definitely not be able to do it. But if he did, he had no similar experience and couldn't find it at all. A way to avoid offending both sides.
At this moment, a ringtone suddenly broke the awkward situation, and Sister Xie behind the bar also shouted in time, "Boss, the phone is ringing."
"I'll answer the phone first." Wei Ziqi said the next sentence and ran to the bar in two or three steps without looking back. He picked up the phone and wiped the sweat on his head.
The situation of being caught between two women is more dangerous than the confrontation with a certain god in ancient times.
"Hello, Mr. Wei, I'm Hu Shouyu. Can you come to Tongzhou? I'm really desperate."
A weak voice came from the other side of the phone. Wei Ziqi frowned, and it took him a while to remember the man who had been in the store last week.
