One week after New Year's Day passed, Yan Shuang successfully completed the exams of all subjects. After the bell rang for the last exam, she said goodbye to her classmates with a smile, and then put her schoolbag on her back and boarded the bus.
Sheng Guangming's new store opens today.
It was originally planned to reopen after the next year, but he said, "In this case, the employees have been vacant for too long. If we open the store in the last month of the year, we can give them year-end bonuses at that time."
Such a good boss, no wonder those employees would rather wait for him to open a new store than find a job after the store is cleared.
He is a good man.
Yan Shuang looked out the window happily.
The plot of the good guy is simple and easy to read, he likes the good guy the most.
The whole city is stained with a strange layer of gray in winter, but the cake shop located on the side of the street is bright and soft blue, there are many flower baskets around the door, exquisite desserts are displayed in the window, Yan Shuang got off the bus It smelled sweet.
The reopened cake shop is more popular than before in the mall, and even had to set up a temporary cordon at the door to control the flow of people in the shop.
The clerk came out with small biscuits and distributed them to the crowd. When he saw Yan Shuang in the line, his eyes widened in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't the boss say you have an exam today?"
When the store was being decorated, Yan Shuang gave advice in the past, and Sheng Guangming introduced directly to the staff, "This is my boyfriend." He said that naturally, so everyone in the store knew that their boss had a A boyfriend who is in a serious relationship.
"After the exam, I'll give him a surprise." Yan Shuang said with a smile.
The clerk said: "Then you go in quickly, don't wait in line, it's so cold outside."
The people at the front and back of the line heard what the two said, and cast a somewhat dissatisfied look. Yan Shuang smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll line up here, and it will be my turn soon."
The clerk couldn't resist him, so he had to enter the store after distributing the biscuits.
Yan Shuang lined up quietly in the line, with his hands in his pockets to avoid the wind. After a while, the wind chimes on the store door rang, and a tall man who only wore short sleeves in the cold winter hurried out.
Sheng Guangming glanced quickly across the team, and then said pleasantly, "Shuangshuang!"
Yan Shuang tilted his face in the crowd, smiled, and waved him slightly.
Sheng Guangming hurriedly walked over in three steps at the same time, and took Yan Shuang's hand first. The hands of people wearing thin clothes are much hotter than those in long down jackets, and they immediately warmed Yan Shuang's cold hands When he got up, Sheng Guangming frowned, "Hands are so cold."
"Congratulations on the opening." Yan Shuang smiled.
"Let's go in and talk," Sheng Guangming put his arms around his shoulders, and bowed to the people in the front and back lines, "Sorry, this is my family."
Yan Shuang was half-embraced and entered the store, and Sheng Guangming led them all the way to a place where there were few people in the back kitchen before stopping.
The temperature in the store was very comfortable, Yan Shuang's face flushed, Sheng Guangming held his hand, his face still showed distressed expression, "Why wait outside when you come here, what should I do if I catch a cold? "He raised Yan Shuang's hand and breathed out two breaths.
Yan Shuang smiled and said, "I'm not that fragile."
Ever since he drew a line with Qi Feiyun that day, Sheng Guangming treated him like a fragile vase, taking care of him carefully.
Originally, the beginning of this relationship was born on the premise that "one party doesn't like it".
The favored party has nothing to fear, and it is normal to be arrogant when favored.
But Yan Shuang acted like the most perfect lover.
Every time he smiles and looks at him, he is so focused and gentle.
Sheng Guangming was flattered.
Gradually, he understood that Yan Shuang was fulfilling his promise—working hard to like him.
In this case, he should work harder than Yan Shuang.
The love that two people worked hard together made him feel sweet and joyful. Every day he passed, he became more certain that he hoped to continue walking with Yan Shuang to a farther and better place.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"good."
"How did you get here?"
"Take a bus."
"Why don't you take a taxi? Or call me, and I can pick you up."
"I think you are so busy today, so I won't bother you."
The two whispered very ordinary words, and the atmosphere in the corner gradually became ambiguous. When the cheeks approached eagerly, the clerk suddenly came over. Seeing the two people who were close, he slammed on the brakes, closed his eyes and shouted: " I didn't see anything..." Then he remembered the business again, and hurriedly said: "Boss, something happened!"
The customers who were almost full in the store disappeared.
The long queue outside the door also disappeared.
It was as if someone had worked their magic in just a few minutes and took all the life out of the store.
"...After you entered for a while, a group of people suddenly came and drove all the guests away."
It sounded like a fairy tale, Sheng Guangming frowned, "Who?"
The clerk pointed out of the window in fear.
Sheng Guangming turned his face away.
Across the street stood a row of men in black coats. They were tall and straight-faced. When someone wanted to go to the cake shop, they would immediately rush up and scare them away without saying anything.
The people in the store looked at what happened outside with anger and fear, and the behavior that seemed to be malicious competition could only be resolved by asking the boss to come forward.
"I'll go and have a look." Sheng Guangming said with a serious face.
"Let's go together." Yan Shuang grabbed his arm.
Sheng Guangming said, "It's okay, you just stay here, it's cold outside." He patted the back of Yan Shuang's hand reassuringly, and walked out amidst everyone's expectant gaze.
Yan Shuang also walked to the window.
Sheng Guangming quickly walked across the street.
From Yan Shuang's judgment on Sheng Guangming's force value, the group of men in black on the opposite side should be able to fight Sheng Guangming 50-50, but after all, there are so many people fighting against one person, and they are in the street, so they probably won't fight in broad daylight. .
Sure enough, the two sides seemed to be negotiating.
It seems that the negotiation is not going well.
Yan Shuang saw through the window that Sheng Guangming's face was ashen, and the hands hanging on both sides had quietly clenched into fists.
"I'll go out and have a look."
Yan Shuang dropped a sentence, opened the door calmly and walked out.
"...Who on earth sent you?"
Sheng Guangming restrained the urge to punch, and asked again.
The leader of the men in black looked disdainful, and his tone was deliberately provocative, "Who did you offend, don't you know?"
"He offended someone."
Yan Shuang came from behind Sheng Guangming, with his chin tucked into his down jacket, his expression indifferent, Sheng Guangming hurriedly said, "Shuang Shuang, what are you doing out here, go in quickly."
The leader suddenly put away his contemptuous attitude, and said respectfully, "Master Yan."
Sheng Guangming was about to lift Yan's hands and suddenly froze.
"Where is Qin Yu white?" Yan Shuang asked directly.
"Boss Qin is in the company."
"He hid in the company and asked you to come out and make trouble? It's really despicable." Yan Shuang said coldly.
The leader did not dare to refute, and bowed his head in silence.
"Go, don't stay here."
"I'm sorry..." the leader hesitated, "Our task today is to stay until the store is closed."
"It doesn't help if I let you go, does it?"
"...Sorry, that's what Mr. Qin meant."
"Where is the car, I'll go with you."
"Shuangshuang—" Sheng Guangming, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but squeezed Yan Shuang's wrist, his brows were furrowed, "It's cold outside, I'll take you inside."
Yan Shuang looked at him with a calm expression on his face, "It's nothing, I'll just go and talk about it."
"Hands are cold again, go in quickly." Sheng Guangming turned a deaf ear, pulled him into his arms and walked into the store. Yan Shuang was hugged forward by him, and said in a cold tone: "Brother Sheng, this is my fault. It's up to me to fix it."
Without saying a word, Sheng Guangming hugged the man all the way to the store, and said to the clerk, "Let's get off work, today is half a day off, go back and rest, you have worked hard."
Everyone who got the holiday had no joy on their faces, and they all looked anxious.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of things."
The tall man stood upright in the store, looking very convincing. The shop assistants who had already experienced a similar incident were a little shaken, but they could only pretend to be calm and obey the arrangement.
The originally bustling opening suddenly became deserted, and the shop assistants left one after another, and everyone looked worried when they left.
All the people in the store left, only Sheng Guangming and Yan Shuang were left with the sweet aroma of cakes in the room.
Sheng Guangming glanced at the street outside the window.
The men in black still haven't left.
"Let me go." Yan Shuang said softly.
Sheng Guangming turned his face abruptly, and said firmly, "No."
"It's okay, maybe I said something too harsh last time, he came to punish me on purpose, I apologized to him and gave in, and the matter was over." Yan Shuang took the matter lightly on himself.
"He's targeting me." Sheng Guangming said.
"It's also because of me."
"It's not your problem," Sheng Guangming held his shoulder, "I'll solve this, trust me, okay?"
Yan Shuang's eyes were slightly sad, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "...OK."
Sheng Guangming hugged him into his arms, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
Things happened suddenly and not suddenly.
The love affair with Yan Shuang was so smooth that Sheng Guangming subconsciously ignored the hidden reef hidden under the water.
Qi Feiyun came, it was Yan Shuang who drove him away.
Now that Qin Yubai is here, is it necessary for Yan Shuang to come forward
Since he became Yan Shuang's boyfriend, he was ready to meet these things.
Sheng Guangming sent the man back home, and told him: "Rest at home, and I'll cook for you when I come back tonight."
Yan Shuang was sitting on the sofa, blinking, with a look of hesitation, and reluctantly nodded under Sheng Guangming's earnest gaze.
He watched Sheng Guangming go out, sat quietly for a while, and picked up his cell phone.
"Hello? It's me."
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then sighed softly, with a complicated tone of helplessness, "Of course I know it's you."
"He's here now, be careful yourself, and be careful not to get beaten."
"… understood."
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
There was another silence on the other end of the phone, the man breathed lightly, and after a while he smiled wryly and said, "Shuangshuang, why did he upset you?"
"He didn't upset me."
Yan Shuang lay down on the sofa and raised his feet, "He didn't do anything wrong, it's just that I want to set up some obstacles for him, so that he can realize more quickly how honored it is to have me."
There was another long silence on the other end of the phone. Yan Shuang didn't hang up the phone. He entrusted someone to do something, so of course he had to be more polite.
"… free tonight?"
"No time," Yan Shuang said lazily, "Don't go too far, Qin Yubai, haven't you learned to be good yet?"
Qin Yu held the pen with his white fingers, lowered his long eyelashes, his eyes seemed to be gentle, "I will do whatever you ask me to do, isn't it good enough?"
