Arriving home in the middle of the night, Chen Xiao saw Yaya curled up on the sofa in the living room, already asleep. Thinking about the extremely fragrant "dry cleaning" the night before, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly...
It's not that he's prude. But he is not the kind of man who only thinks with his lower body. In terms of men and women, Chen Xiao still prefers to put emotions first rather than sensuality.
Besides, Yaya is still underage. A fifteen-year-old girl's mind is like a blank sheet of paper and she doesn't understand anything. If I take advantage of her, I really feel guilty.
Chen Xiao put away the things and carried Yaya from the sofa in the living room into the room. Yaya woke up when he was picked up by Chen Xiao. He just glanced at Chen Xiao and said in a daze: "You're back... "
He put Bai Shengsheng's arm around Chen Xiao's neck and fell asleep.
Looking at Yaya curled up like a cat in his arms, Chen Xiao would be lying if he said he was not moved, but after all, he was not a beast, so he put the girl back on the bed in the room. Then I ran out to change clothes and take a shower.
When Chen Xiao woke up the next morning, he found that Yaya ran into his bed again without knowing when. She was still sleeping there quietly like the night before, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Chen Xiao sighed... Well, it seems that he has to think of ways to teach her the concept of "difference between men and women".
Otherwise, even though there is a beautiful little girl warming the bed, and the fragrance is extremely fragrant, but in this case, sleeping every day becomes a test for oneself, and every night there will be a battle between heaven and man, like this It doesn't taste good.
It's simply a test of my humanity... Chen Xiao muttered - what if I can't help it anymore and my bestiality comes out that day...
Speaking of which, Yaya is indeed very cute, especially her extreme innocence and ignorance of the world, which arouses Chen Xiao's pity - but that's all. Chen Xiao is still pursuing the relationship between men and women. A girl like Yaya has a blank slate in her mind, and it is really difficult for her to have any communication with her. Although that youthful and delicate figure can really stir up my heartstrings, but... After all, people are not like animals who only know how to mate.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of the girl named Fenghuang - he had to admit that Fenghuang was probably the only girl who had made his heart flutter so far. Although they only met once, the brief banter between the two in the coffee shop that day made Chen Xiao feel very comfortable. Phoenix's kind of affinity, as well as the smile that makes people feel like spring breeze, the playful smile, Chen Xiao will never forget it...
After gently getting up from the bed, Chen Xiao quickly put on her clothes. Yaya hadn't woken up yet. It seemed that she was particularly sleepy today. Chen Xiao was careful not to disturb her, but stood by the bed and watched quietly. Yaya's sleeping posture for a while...
Haha, he is a man after all, and the beautiful scene of the little beauty falling asleep is still very eye-catching.
But then he walked out of the bedroom, and Chen Xiao casually dug into his pocket and found something - the envelope that Sister Lu gave him, which contained money.
I opened it and looked at it. It was true that the money was not much, only three thousand. But considering that I only took one class, three thousand is already a high amount. Sister Lu made it very clear that she was grateful to herself for saving her, and that her family had undergone a sudden change and she couldn't come up with much money. Although their family is very wealthy, the men are eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and they are about to get divorced and divide their property, so they are probably very nervous.
Chen Xiao thought for a while, but another problem faced him: source of livelihood!
Originally, Chen Xiao resigned from the fast food restaurant because he planned to support himself by working as a tutor. But now the tutoring job has been lost, and there is one more person in the family to feed the family. Although the salary in the coffee shop is not low... there is no money in the shop! If Chen Xiao was allowed to be shameless and evil-hearted, and go get the gold and diamonds that old man Edward put in the safe - he is not that kind of person.
"It's decided, skip class today!" Chen Xiao stretched out hard: "Stop class! Go sell gold! Otherwise, I will really drink the northwest wind! Besides, the old man Edward told me to sell it on the phone last night. , so there’s no need to worry.”
Chen Xiao had a good reason, so he quickly made a breakfast, left a note for Yaya, telling her that he would be back very late tonight, and so on. Then he picked up a backpack and started walking in a hurry. Out the door.
Since he had nothing to do today, the first thing Chen Xiao did when he went out was to run to the bank in the city to find his bicycle. The result was exactly what Chen Xiao expected: the car was gone.
Although he lost his car, Chen Xiao was mentally prepared for it. After being depressed for a while, he felt relieved. Then take the subway to the coffee shop.
That commercial street still seemed like the scene of a ghost movie—it was around nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining, but there were still no shops open on the huge pedestrian street. Along the way, Chen Xiao only saw two or three municipal cleaners cleaning the road. He quickly went to the coffee shop and took a gold brick from the safe upstairs.
Throughout the morning, Chen Xiao went to the jewelry street in K City and walked around several gold shops. I sold a gold brick and got more than 200,000 yuan in cash, which I put in the backpack I was carrying. When I came out, I remembered that Fenghuang came to the coffee shop that day. It was such a big coffee shop, except for coffee. Not even any other food...what does it look like.
After all, Chen Xiao also worked in the catering industry, so he simply went to a large warehouse supermarket to purchase a batch of ingredients. He picked up seven or eight large and small bags before heading back to the coffee shop.
He spent an afternoon cleaning the coffee shop - today was Thursday, and Old Man Edward sternly told himself that he must be open tonight, thinking that there would be some important customers coming tonight.
Now that he has done this job, Chen Xiao is a responsible person and will not slack off just because his boss is absent.
After everything was done, Chen Xiao sat behind the counter. The afternoon sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows into the lobby of the coffee shop, making people feel a warm and peaceful feeling. Chen Xiao sat there, but I couldn't help but glance at the door every once in a while, as if I had a faint hope in my heart, hoping that the girl who likes to joke and call herself "Sajia" would open the door and come in inadvertently...
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao was disappointed, and the phoenix did not appear again until dusk fell.
In addition, it once again confirmed another guess of Chen Xiao: the business of this coffee shop is really miserable! The whole day, not even a single customer... On the empty pedestrian street outside, Chen Xiao carefully calculated that from noon to evening, there were only three people who came to the door. One was selling tableware, one was selling encyclopedias, and one was visiting. Here to sell insurance...
It’s not surprising when you think about it. It’s such an unfinished pedestrian street, and it’s on the edge of the city. Who would come here to go shopping
Opening a coffee shop in a place like this is obviously a loss-making business. If it were a normal person, it would be closed down in less than a month. That is to say, people like old man Edward would do this.
Thinking of the huge wealth in the safe in the room upstairs, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh: Old man Edward didn't even expect to make money by opening this store. Even if he loses money for decades, he can still afford it.
Well, service clubs are indeed some abnormal guys.
When he was bored in the afternoon, Chen Xiao even thought about bringing Yaya to accompany him, which was better than being alone here in a daze.
Originally, he wanted to read a book to pass the time, but who knew that the old man Edward left a pile of books under the counter. Chen Xiao turned over and rolled his eyes.
"Jin Ping Mei", "Jade Futon", "Lamp Grass Monk"... Yi? There is actually an unabridged version of "Legend of the Dragon Warrior" and "The Chronicles of Ali Buda"?
"You are still reading these things at such an old age, and you are not afraid of bursting your blood vessels." Chen Xiao looked at the pile of "banned books" in front of him with a dumbfounded look, and shook his head helplessly: "Edward, this old man, has really strong preferences."
…
Finally, at dinner time, the first customer walked into the store.
The first customer who came in was a middle-aged uncle, wearing a dirty blue-collar worker's overalls with some engine oil stains on his body. When he walked in, he nodded to Chen Xiao and smiled slightly. It's like saying hello.
"Welcome." Chen Xiao walked out immediately: "Please sit down wherever you like. What can I drink?"
"Are you Chen Xiao?" The middle-aged uncle smiled gently. He had a beard, dark skin, a strong build, and a square face. He looked like a mature and steady uncle, but his eyes were very gentle. Come to think of it, He is a person with a good temper.
Chen Xiao was slightly surprised: "Do you know me?"
"Well, I know that Lao Ai has hired a new person here." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Oh, I am the owner of the car repair shop at the intersection of this street. Everyone calls me Uncle Tian."
"It turns out we are neighbors." Chen Xiao smiled politely, but felt a little strange in his heart: Is it possible that Uncle Tian is not a normal person when he opens a car repair shop in such a remote place
really…
"Every Thursday is an important day. You are a newcomer and don't understand the situation. I'm worried that you won't be able to cope with it, so I came over to see if there is anything I can do to help." Uncle Tian smiled very friendly and looked at There was also some faint concern in Chen Xiao's eyes.
"You..." Chen Xiao hesitated: "Are you also from the 'Service Club'?"
"It used to be, but now I'm retired." Uncle Tian answered simply, without any intention of hiding anything.
Another superpower...
Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Uncle Tian a few more times, but he didn't mind at all and smiled very friendly.
Chen Xiao made him a cup of tea and then chatted with him casually. The middle-aged uncle was really good-tempered and talkative. He seemed to have traveled a lot and visited many countries. The two of them were in the South China Sea. After chatting with Bei for a while, Chen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally wanted to ask about some things about the service club, but the other party calmly changed the topic and seemed unwilling to say more.
Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, and when the clock struck seven, Uncle Tian's expression became obviously more serious. He closed his mouth and fell silent - this change made Chen Xiao's heart move.
Ding dong…
The door of the coffee shop was pushed open.
