Guide to Running a Shop in Another World

Chapter 236: The sixth store

Views:

Facing An Yan's indifference, Lu Yao was very calm.

The shop has opened to the sixth door, and they meet every time.

There is no doubt that Xiao A has something to do with her wishes.

Lu Yao thought about it carefully and concluded that Xiao A and the system were probably not on the same side.

Compared to the dream-fulfilling system, Xiao A seems more trustworthy.

However, these actually do not affect what Lu Yao wants to do.

Lu Yao sat down at the table, facing An Yan and the new experimental subject: "Do you two also want to sign up for childhood tutoring?"

An Yan shook his head: "I'm not."

The experimental subject also shook his head: "I want to buy bubble water and flying toys. Professor An happens to be free, let's go shopping together."

Lu Yao turned to look at Zheng Siyao, "You were the first to register the day before yesterday, so let's start first."

During tutoring time, non-tutors are not allowed to stay in the tutoring room.

The experimental subject was particularly interested in the cram school, so the remaining three people booked a teahouse early in the morning, where they drank tea and ate snacks while reminiscing about their childhood.

Not long after they sat down, more customers came to buy snacks and toys, and Xu Xiaoxiao hurried to the front to greet them.

Erxin rushed out from the middle door of the corridor, approached the tea room, tilted his furry head, meowed, and rubbed against An Yan's trouser leg.

An Yan had a comic book on his hand and was about to open it when he noticed movement at his feet. He leaned over and picked up the calico pig.

Xiaomei and the experimental subject looked at this scene in amazement.

An Yan is not liked by small animals. The little white mice in the laboratory hide in the corner when they see him.

When cats and dogs meet him on the road, they will simply take a detour.

Erxin, the piglet with a round head, round face, round ears, and a furry ball, lay on Professor An's lap, snoring, which somehow made Professor An seem gentler.

In other words, it's very rustic and cute.

In the cram school room.

Lu Yao took out Zheng Siyao’s soul key and information.

Zheng Siyao’s request for tutoring is very simple—she wants to use tutoring to get rid of a bad habit.

Zheng Siyao's superpowers are highly practical, and she also paid great attention to the development of her abilities when she was in school. Her ability rating was quite high when she graduated. After graduation, she directly entered the municipal research institute and studied the most popular topics at the moment.

Among her peers, Zheng Siyao's salary is definitely among the best.

After being promoted to An Yan's assistant, his salary was also raised.

Zheng Siyao’s little problem is that she can’t save money.

When her monthly salary is paid, she will immediately spend most of it online, buying all kinds of clothes, cosmetics, snacks, or electronic products that she has picked out in advance.

Zheng Siyao thought of some ways, the most effective one was to deposit the money in the bank, which she persisted for at most half a year.

In the end, there was a burst of revenge consumption during the shopping festival, and all the money saved for half a year was squandered at once.

Zheng Siyao sat opposite Lu Yao, staring at a small area in front of her, not daring to look at Lu Yao's expression.

As an adult, especially one who works in scientific research, I can't control my desire to shop. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about it.

Lu Yao listened carefully, looked up at Zheng Siyao, and did not respond for a while, which made Zheng Siyao inexplicably nervous.

Lu Yao tilted his head and lowered his eyes, laughing softly: "There is no need to be so burdened. Researchers are also human beings. As human beings, they have seven emotions and six desires. Liking to buy things is just like some people liking to fall in love, some people liking to eat, and some people liking to collect things. It is not something to be ashamed of."

Zheng Siyao fell into deep thought.

The research institute is full of talented people who only ask for

When talking about work or occasional private chats, everyone comes from a wealthy family and talks about life experiences that ordinary people cannot get to experience. The sense of gap is really strong.

Zheng Siyao is not sure whether her strong desire to shop comes from external pressure, but the shop owner may find it difficult to understand her feelings.

Sometimes language can only convey limited meaning, making it extremely difficult to understand each other.

Lu Yao said no more and asked Zheng Siyao to open the key of her heart and understand her childhood first.

Zheng Siyao lived in a relatively remote town when she was a child. Her potential for superpowers was discovered by her teacher in middle school and she was directly admitted to the best university in the city.

She worked hard and her abilities were fully developed, and she was successfully admitted to graduate school after graduation.

Whether she was going to school in the countryside as a child, or later going to university in the city, Zheng Siyao has always been a simple, hardworking and plain girl.

It was not until she officially joined the research institute and received her first month's salary that Zheng Siyao spent it all immediately, buying all the things she wanted to buy but couldn't before.

Super Energy Research Institute has single-person dormitories for employees, which can be moved in by applying. There is no rent pressure, and the employee benefits are generous. After that, every month is almost a repeat of the first month.

Zheng Siyao had suffered from this for a long time, and she did not hold much hope that childhood tutoring could correct the problem.

Just the day before yesterday when registering, a new item was added to the improved childhood test form, asking the guests about their tutoring goals.

At that time, Zheng Siyao couldn’t think of any other goals, so she just casually wrote down “I hope to correct the bad habit of spending money indiscriminately.”

After the first learning session, Lu Yao took out his key and started formal tutoring.

Zheng Siyao saw the silver ball on the table cracking radially. The white light in front of her eyes hurt. When she opened her eyes again, the scenery around her had changed.

She looked down at her hands which were becoming smaller and fleshier. Her consciousness gradually became dizzy and she fell asleep on the desk.

After an unknown amount of time, Zheng Siyao woke up, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes gently, and caught a glimpse of a little black dragon lying on the desk.

Mom and Dad are off work

Zheng Siyao turned to look at the door and listened carefully, but there was no sound.

When he looked back, he was suddenly startled and his whole body froze with fear.

The little black dragon on the table opened his eyes, grunted and sat up, looking at her.

Zheng Siyao asked: "Who are you?"

The little fat dragon's stubby wings fluttered twice, "I'm Alfred, your tutor."

Zheng Siyao asked in confusion: "My family is very poor and we don't have money to hire a tutor."

Alfred stood up, walked to Zheng Siyao, and snapped his black claws.

“Pah—

—”

A palm-sized pink notebook and a silver pen fell into Zheng Siyao's hands. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, from today on, you have a task. Every month, use the wish pen in your hand to write down the things you want most in the gift list notebook. At night, tear off the gift list and put it in your mother's shoes."

Zheng Siyao is already in elementary school. She is relatively precocious and is confused about the situation, but she can't help but feel excited.

What's the point of writing down what you want

Perhaps based on this expectation, she swallowed all the questions in her heart and passively obeyed Alfred.

Alfred continued, "This is a long mission. It will start today and will not end until your sixteenth birthday. Please work hard to complete the mission."

Xiao Siyao suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

Alfred left behind a wishing pen and a gift list notebook and disappeared.

Zheng Siyao sat at the desk, tapping the pink notebook in front of her, trying hard to think about what she wanted.

Before going to bed at night, Zheng Siyao finally thought of it and wrote down a title for the book in her notebook.

She tried to keep her eyelids open, waited for her parents to go back to their room and fall asleep, and quietly put the wish list into her mother's shoes at the entrance.

The next morning, nothing happened.

On the morning of the third day, Zheng Siyao opened her eyes and found a brand new book on superpowers placed next to her pillow.

She sat up suddenly, picked up the book and opened it with joy. There was a note inside the page, a message from Alfred.

Zheng Siyao didn't look at it carefully, but couldn't wait to flip through the book, and finally turned back to read the message.

Alfred reminded her that she would continue with the mission next month and to think carefully about what she wanted.

From then on, Zheng Siyao's life seemed no different from before, but every month she would receive gifts written in the gift list notebook.

But after the first success, Zheng Siyao was too excited and wrote a whole list in the second month, but she received nothing the next morning.

After reflection, she rewrote down what she wanted most, and indeed received a gift the next day—a beautiful doll in a transparent box, tied with a beautiful ribbon, placed at the head of her bed.

As she grew older, Zheng Siyao began to plan and write down the gifts she wanted, ranging from daily necessities to some unnecessary entertainment items that her classmates had and she also wanted, snacks, clothes, books, and even cosmetics.

The note placed in my mother's shoe was like a necessary step in some magic spell, and she always got what she wanted on the third day.

When she grew up a little bit more, Zheng Siyao gradually realized that the person who bought the gift for her might not be Alfred.

The person who actually bought all kinds of gifts for her was probably her mother.

After all, she always put the wish notes in her mother's shoes, and her parents were not surprised by the various new objects that suddenly appeared at her door.

Zheng Siyao gradually felt that her family was not as poor as she had thought, and her worries during adolescence were much less.

Later, Zheng Siyao's potential in superpowers was discovered, and she went to college in the city alone. She still received gifts from home on a regular basis every month.

Every month Alfred would help her send the gift list back home and put it in her mother's shoes.

At the age of sixteen, Zheng Siyao completed her studies and received a FER from the Sanhua City Super Energy Research Institute.

On the birthday, Alfred appeared holding a huge bright yellow gift box: "Siyao, congratulations, the gift list task is officially over! This is the last gift, please open it after you wake up."

Zheng Siyao was well prepared for this day and took the gift box calmly.

Zheng Siyao’s first childhood tutoring session ended.

This tutoring session didn't seem to be much different from her original life.

Zheng Siyao woke up, and her consciousness and the memory of tutoring gradually merged. On the table was the yellow gift box that Alfred had given her for the last time.

Zheng Siyao held her forehead with her hands, her face full of shock.

During the tutoring period, the sense of fulfillment and security she felt from receiving gifts on time every month gradually filled the missing piece in her heart.

"Lu Yao, is this okay?" After coming back to her senses, Zheng Siyao felt unbelievable again.

Lu Yao: "Everyone's situation is different, and the specific effect of tutoring needs to be observed regularly. But you are in good condition, so I think there is no problem."

Zheng Siyao nodded blankly, still feeling a little light-headed.

I have to say that the owner's ability is beyond imagination.

The feeling of personal experience remains deep in my consciousness, as if it is

It struck at her soul, making her think about it over and over again, as if she were experiencing it again.

Recalling this many times, a feeling of warmth, contentment, and security fills my body, and my mind unconsciously feels refreshed.

Zheng Siyao came out of the cram school room holding a yellow gift box. Xiaomei was surprised: "It's over so soon?"

Zheng Siyao nodded and shook her head, "The time gate for tutoring is actually quite long, but the flow rate of the time gate is different from here."

They discussed this issue when they returned the day before.

Xiaomei: "How do you feel?"

Zheng Siyao was still a little dazed. She felt great during the tutoring session, but after it was over it was like midnight. Cinderella had lost her magic, and she felt even emptier inside than before the tutoring session.

Xiaomei asked again: "What's in this box?"

Zheng Siyao finally perked up a little, "I haven't opened it yet."

As Zheng Siyao was talking, she opened the gift box and saw the eight or nine things inside. Her face was stunned.

Xiaomei couldn't interpret the complex emotions in her eyes. She looked down at the box and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with these things?"

Zheng Siyao picked up the brown stuffed bear in the corner of the box and looked at Xiaomei in confusion: "This is a gift I got during my tutoring. This bear, this schoolbag, this scarf, notebook, small leather boots... are all gifts I wrote on the gift list every birthday month. I thought it was just a dream... These things... can actually be brought out from that world..."

Zheng Siyao scratched her hair, "I'm a little confused now, is childhood tutoring an illusion or reality?"

Xiaomei didn’t know the specific content of Zheng Siyao’s tutoring, so she couldn’t quite understand her shock at this moment.

But her interest was indeed piqued again and she couldn't wait to get her childhood tutoring started.

The experimental subject beside him also muttered to himself: "This childhood tutoring seems to be more interesting than I understood. How about I sign up for it?"
