Lin Jie twitched the corners of his mouth with a subtle expression.
If it wasn't for his own image, his current expression should only be described as "subway, old man, mobile phone.jpg".
He has seen all kinds of guests in the past three years, but he has never seen anyone who wants to wrestle his arms.
The store has been open for so long, no, considering the time when I was a lecturer at the university, I have never heard such a strange request...
Would a normal person choose "arm wrestling" among the three options of "borrowing books, buying books, and reading books"? Is this appropriate
This is clearly inappropriate.
Out of the instinct of a life mentor, Lin Jie felt that there must be something strange in this.
He looked at the girl in front of him again.
There is no makeup on the face and the skin is fine.
The quality of the workmanship of the clothes is quite good, the hat seems to be a very famous brand, and the edges of the shoes are stained with muddy water.
However, the shoe prints left on the ground were clean, and they should have been washed away in the accumulated water at the door.
It can be seen from the subtleties that this little girl's personal cultivation is quite good.
It is especially worth noting that the thick red hair is well maintained, like the soft fur of an orange cat, which makes people want to touch it.
From the above, it can be seen that her family should be very good.
And Lin Jie recalled the girl's demeanor just now, and could see that she was a little nervous and disappointed.
She was quite sure in her heart that she should have come specifically for her bookstore, not to hide from the rain like Ji Zhixu did.
So, why would such a girl with a wealthy family obviously not lack entertainment activities, why would she suddenly run into his bookstore... and wrestle with him
Lin Jie felt that, from the current point of view, his bookstore did not have any qualities that could attract people to come here in a heavy rain.
No, wait.
His number of new guests has increased recently. Could it be that new guests are promoting it
Ji Zhixu, Joseph... Joseph
Lin Jie's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he folded his hands, examining the girl in front of him.
Although it is very inconspicuous, her appearance is vaguely similar to Joseph's, especially her eyes.
It may be strange to say this, but... Although Joseph looks like an old tough guy now, but from the outline of his facial features, it can be seen that he was definitely a handsome guy when he was young.
Therefore, the correct statement should be that the girl in front of him has a very high similarity with the young Joseph.
Lin Jie has an intuition at this moment, the girl in front of him is definitely directly related to Joseph.
Unconsciously, he did not realize that he had been staring at the girl in front of him for nearly a minute.
This deep stare and wordless silent scrutiny brought an invisible pressure.
Originally with her hands on the counter, the imposing Melissa felt a little guilty for some reason. She retracted her hands and put them on her knees stiffly, and said, "What, what's wrong, arm wrestling shouldn't be too much, right? Can't it be?"
Obviously this guy still looks ordinary, why suddenly feel like he has done something wrong
That's it... What's with this feeling of being reprimanded by dad for doing something wrong? !
The girl fell into a kind of annoyance of "opposite ≈ dad".
Lin Jie came back to his senses, realized his rudeness, cleared his throat and said, "Of course you can, but I have two questions that I want to ask first, okay?"
Melissa nodded: "What's the problem?"
Lin Jie stretched out a finger: "The first question, you are here because of Joseph, right?"
Although it is a question, it is actually an affirmative sentence.
Melissa's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't expect that the other party would say Joseph's name directly.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the young man opposite in surprise.
At the same time, the uncertainty in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
"Looks like I'm right."
Since the two people are indeed related, the possibility of kinship is very high.
Lin Jie smiled and shook his finger: "Don't look at me like that, you two still look alike."
Melissa suddenly widened her eyes and puffed out her cheeks, like a puffer fish that had been attacked and swollen: "Who looks like him!"
Lin Jie applauded his increasingly accurate eyesight. This rebellious attitude, as well as the disgust in his expression, should be the father-daughter relationship.
Alas, he has seen this situation a lot.
Last time it was a brokenhearted lover who was hurt by a scumbag, this time it was a family member who ran away from home in a quarrel with his parents.
The use of his life mentor is really more and more.
Melissa regretted it at this time.
She already felt that it wasn't her father's fault, but her own judgment and curiosity that had led her to a not-so-good situation... Of course, not a dangerous situation.
However, since the other party can instantly know her relationship with Joseph, there is a high possibility that they will sue...
I-level areas, you really can't intrude, even if it's "friendly".
But the only fortunate thing is that the "friendly" evaluation in the file is indeed correct.
Lin Jie then stretched out a second finger and asked, "Then the second question, why are you looking for me to wrestle your wrist?"
In fact, if it was just a general request for help from a regular customer, he would definitely not ask such a deep question.
But in front of a young female new guest, and the request is physical contact.
For his own reputation and innocence, he had to be a little more cautious.
Don't think that only women will be harassed, boys are outside, remember to protect yourself!
And a deep understanding of the other party's motives for doing strange things can also help them psychological counseling and chicken soup instillation.
Melissa immediately sat upright and looked straight: "Joseph said that if you feel uncomfortable because of something or someone, but you can't do it because of conditions or because of face, you can find someone to wrestle your arms."
"?"
Lin Jie put a question mark and asked suspiciously, "Why arm wrestling?"
Wait, so the reason why Melissa is uncomfortable should be the conflict with Joseph.
And the one who acts as a punching bag... is he
Assi, he retracted his foreword, this is a bear child.
Melissa looked stern: "It's best to find the person involved, so that you can appreciate his twisted, angry, but helpless expression."
"If the opponent refuses such a game activity, he will appear timid. Even if he refuses, he can start it forcibly. If he finally gets angry with me, then I have a reason to beat him."
""
Lin Jie felt that he had many question marks.
He was deeply suspicious of Joseph's educational level as a father.
Sure enough, you shouldn't expect a retired soldier with ptsd to have any parenting experience, right
"Okay okay, how to compare."
Lin Jie felt a headache.
But since it's just for venting and satisfying her, it's over. Such a little girl with thin arms and legs probably doesn't have the strength.
Although he said so, he must have been looking for a friend as a partner before, letting her let her vent benignly.
However, this kind of childish thinking must be corrected.
"Two wins in three games."
Melissa's face was cautious and authentic, and then she thought to herself, although the other party didn't seem to be as ordinary as she imagined, it should look like a scholar or a wizard.
This I-level, it should be in the ether, the flesh is definitely not that strong.
The two sat firmly on both sides of the counter, clasping their hands, and the atmosphere was tense.
Judging from the state he felt, it was indeed very loose, just the strength of a normal adult male.
Melissa secretly exhaled and whispered:
"three."
"two."
"one."
"start!"
"Snapped."
The battle was instantly resolved.
Melissa stared blankly at her arm that was pressed firmly on the counter.
how is this possible? ! ! !
