The last time I paid the shop rent was in November last year, and now it’s almost June in the blink of an eye.
Come to think of it, Tian Jing and I have known each other for half a year.
After Lai Yang put out his cigarette, he looked up and saw Xu Mo walking towards him along the sidewalk with a drink in his hand.
"Ah, what wind blows you today?"
Lai Yang smiled and waved at her, and at the same time glanced at Li Dian. His expression was a little solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"I'm free in the studio right now. It's not far away anyway, so come over and take a look." Xu Mo walked forward and greeted him with a smile.
"There's only a cup of milk tea in my hand. Who is it for?"
Lai Yang teased, Xu Mo felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything. Then Lai Yang bumped his shoulder against Li Dian; "Are you saying hello? Don't you recognize me?"
Li Dian looked a little nervous, raised his hand like a lucky cat and said, "Hello, Miss Xu."
XuMo smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, right?"
"That's right." Lai Yang imitated the lines in A Chinese Odyssey: "Last time you called me Little Sweetie, but now you call me Madam Niu?"
Li Dian was so angry that he was about to attack, but Lai Yang just laughed and then walked towards the street alone.
After walking a few meters, he turned around and looked at the two of them again. They were standing at the door of the theater chatting about something. It seemed that Xu Mo really had some feelings for Li Dian.
Could it be that they could really become a couple
Lai Yang thought for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to the Yunbin Building on the street. Tian Jing should be in the office now, but how should he find her and ask her about this
In fact, the rent of the shop is paid annually, but the money on hand was really limited at that time, so I only paid for half a year. But now the money is enough to pay for three months at most, it feels like it is going backwards...
Lai Yang thought about it and decided to wait for her to get off work in the afternoon, pretend to meet her by chance, and bring up the matter.
After deciding on the direction, he walked towards Aru's milk tea shop again. He had promised Aru that he would come when the shop opened, but he completely forgot about it in Chengdu. He felt a little guilty about it.
The "Nianqing" milk tea shop is now open. There are several flower baskets with balloons on both sides of the door. There are also several customers queuing up. It seems that business is pretty good.
Walking to the door of the store, Lai Yang glanced inside and saw Aru was mixing drinks by himself. He was a little flustered and his technique was not very proficient.
But fortunately, it is basically prepared by equipment, so he only needs to add it manually, shake it and then pack it for the customers.
Aru saw him, called him Brother Yang lightly, and asked him to come in and sit down.
"I'm so sorry, something happened to me on the day you opened your business, so
Just… didn’t make it.”
Lai Yang entered the store, sat down in the narrow space, and took a look at the internal structure.
The milk tea shop has a mix of new and old equipment, and there are quite a few of them. It is estimated that the cost of these alone is over 100,000 yuan.
"What to drink?" Alu asked.
He didn't respond to Lai Yang's words just now, which showed that he was angry and deliberately avoided the topic.
"Whatever, what's your sign?"
“Mango and coconut milk tea with snow top.”
"Why is this name so long?"
Aru was mixing drinks for the customers in line while saying, "This name is not long. We also have pineapple crystal oolong and sweet milk tea."
"Oh~ what else?"
Alu wiped the sweat off his forehead and took a breath, "There are also Mud Bobo Cherry Tomato Milk Tea, Oolong Snow Mountain Honey Pomelo, Cherry Milkshake, and Original Milk Tea."
"Very good, give me a glass of boiled water."
Puff~
The young female customer at the front laughed. Aru glanced back at Lai Yang and his expression became more serious.
"You... don't look at me like that. I just think you're too busy. You don't need to bother with your own people."
…
After all the guests had left, Aru made Lai Yang a cup of silt bubble milk tea, put it on the table and said.
"Shengda said you liked this the most. I was going to give you the first cup of the opening, but you didn't come."
Lai Yang picked up the milk tea with an embarrassed look and drank it, covering his mouth.
After taking a sip, Lai Yang frowned slightly. The taste was a bit strange. It couldn't be said to be unpalatable, but it wasn't very tasty either.
"Brother Yang, I have something to ask you. If you still want to consider me as your friend, be honest with me." Alu sat opposite Lai Yang with a serious look on his face.
"Just say what you want to say. Why don't I treat you as a buddy?"
"Okay, that's fine."
Aru handed Lai Yang a cigarette. After taking it, Lai Yang found that he had changed the cigarette.
I used to smoke the pure-flavor Septwolves, which cost more than 30 yuan, but now I smoke the Blue Jade, which has a panda printed on the butt, for 13 yuan a pack.
My goodness, the seven wolves turned into bears.
"Sheng Da said his mother was in the hospital. I wanted to go back with her, but she refused and didn't give a precise reason."
Lai Yang lit a cigarette with a pop and continued listening.
"During the Chinese New Year last year, didn't his family video chat with you? At that time, they thought you two were in a relationship, so
… Has she not yet told her family about your breakup?"
After Alu asked this question, he stared at Lai Yang.
After a few seconds, Lai Yang looked up and asked, "What do you mean by asking this? Do you think Sheng Da is not sincere to you?"
Alu was startled, frowned, took a deep puff of the cigarette, and exhaled.
"Brother Yang...what do you think?"
"What the hell do you think? You've already been with her, you should at least have some trust in her, right? How long have you been together? You're already suspicious of her, how far can you go in the future?"
A ball of evil fire was surging in Lai Yang's heart. He raised his voice and continued, "Don't worry about what her family thinks. Let me ask you, didn't you go to the Bund to take pictures that day? Why did you delete it in seconds after posting it on your Moments, and then post it again? Did you forget to block your family the first time? Is that right?"
Aru didn't say anything, just lowered his head and smoked.
"Look! You don't even think it's time to announce it to your family yet, so what right do you have to ask her to do that?"
Maybe because his words were a little harsh, Alu's hand holding the cigarette was shaking a little.
After Lai Yang sighed heavily, he told him not to have any extra thoughts and to run the store well. After both he and Yuan Shengda had made long-term plans, they would have to meet their parents sooner or later.
I thought Alu would continue to be stubborn, but unexpectedly he nodded sincerely and said that he would stop thinking about it and hoped Lai Yang would not mention the incident again.
Aru's reaction was a bit abnormal. Lai Yang didn't react for a moment. Was he talking about what happened just now
…
After leaving Aru's store, Lai Yang had nowhere to go. Xu Mo was in the theater, and he didn't want to be a third wheel, so he simply came to the quiet community to wait for her to get off work.
But until the moon was high in the sky, Lai Yang still hadn't seen her come back. When he finished smoking the cigarettes in the cigarette box, he suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Shit! Is it possible that she didn't go to the company today?"
Following this thought, Lai Yang quickly went upstairs and came to the door of the quiet room. As soon as he approached, Yu Bo's voice came from inside!
Lai Yang's pupils shrank and his heart beat faster.
He looked around the corridors, no one was there. After a moral struggle in his heart, he heaved a long sigh and put his ear to the door to listen.
"Jingjing... I'm calm. It was wrong for me to force you last time, but you can't hurt me like this... I've already told my uncle that the transformation cooperation is going on as normal. In addition, the date is still November 7th... We can't just think about ourselves. This is a matter between two families!"
