"do not know."
"Ka bang", Ji Mingyue seemed to hear something broken, but when he looked back, he only saw Lin Feng's back walking away, but found nothing.
"Forget it." He turned around and continued to eat with Doudou. Seeing that Doudou's mouth was full of oil, he took out a tissue and wiped his little face clean.
On Zhang Meng's side, she had a few words with those sleazy young men at the door, and when she heard the store manager calling her in the back kitchen, she turned and entered the store, and those young men also walked in, also I don't know if it was intentional, but I happened to sit next to Ji Mingyue's seat.
Some of them put their legs on the table, some took out their cigarettes and began to smoke. After being stopped by other waiters in the store, they gave an unhappy "tsk" and extinguished the cigarettes, still holding the cigarettes between their fingers, and Companions began to talk—
"That cunt is really capable of pretending to be a twat and robbed me of a woman. I asked a dozen people to stand in front of him, and I immediately gave up!"
"Chen xx is also too coquettish. She can't move when she sees a man. Fortunately, Brother Sun doesn't want her now!"
"That's right, Zhang Meng isn't much prettier than Chen xx, but he's just a bit arrogant..."
"I've been told that now I'm carrying punishment on my back, I don't want to fall in love with you bastards, it will easily affect her, and she still needs a graduation certificate, hahaha!"
"Don't get punished, go back to class and come here to work? Pretending to hang on to Brother Sun, there is no girl that Brother Sun wants to date, and there is no girl he can't get!"
"I can't stop her from thinking about other pretty faces. I'll ask her later to see who dares to come out and pretend to be with me..."
The loud voices of several people made people's ears hurt. People who were eating around frowned and looked at them, but they turned a blind eye and still went their own way.
Doudou raised her head, and asked Ji Mingyue crisply: "Brother, are these people... hooligans?"
For him, the word "hooligan" is a relatively advanced vocabulary. When he used it, he struggled for a while, but as soon as he finished speaking, the people around him laughed tacitly, and cast their eyes of "deeply agreeing" to them.
The red-haired leader was called "Brother Sun", he was at the center of everyone's ridicule, his face turned red and blue, he stared at Doudou viciously, as if hesitating whether to attack, Ji Mingyue turned around and said : "Children's words are not taboo."
Since he is a big brother in a mixed society, what do you care about with your children? "Brother Sun" grabbed the French fries next to him and had to hold back his anger.
The busiest time of the cold drink store is the period when the customer flow is the most. Within a few minutes, Zhang Meng came out of the back kitchen again. When she was walking this way, "Brother Sun" owed her body and was about to stand up. Without looking sideways, he passed them directly and walked to Ji Mingyue's side.
"There is a special children's activity area over there. There are slides and bubble balls. Do you want to take him there to play?" Zhang Meng smiled. "There are quite a lot of children. Maybe he can find something to play with."
"Want to take a look?" Ji Mingyue lowered his head and asked Doudou.
Perhaps Doudou also noticed the unfriendly eyes of the people at the back table, and nodded, "I'll go after eating this egg tart!"
"Okay." Ji Mingyue agreed, and took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, and stuffed it into Zhang Meng's hand, "There is no need to treat guests, and it is not easy for you to make money."
Zhang Meng raised her brows, and stuffed the money back: "It's not easy, but I can still afford a meal. Let's hurry up, I'll take you there, there will be more people there in a while."
The more Ji Ming didn't want to push her back and forth, he didn't insist, and he didn't rush to leave, but he still wanted to ask her: "Well, does Lin Feng also work here?"
"What? Who?" Zhang Meng just glanced back at "Brother Sun", but didn't quite listen to Ji Mingyue's words.
Doudou had finished eating the egg tarts in two or three bites, jumped off the chair, and pulled Ji Mingyue's clothes. Ji Mingyue took his little hand and said as he walked, "Lin Feng, is he from your place? I just saw him gone."
"Oh, him, our schoolmaster?" Zhang Meng said, "He doesn't work here. He knows the boss. He seems to help the boss consult about stocks and bonds, and also cooperate in investment? I don't know much. It was before. He came once, just in time for the store to be busy, so he helped out, and as a result, many girls bought a lot of things because of him, just to look at him more."
She spread her hands and continued: "After that, the boss often begged him to come over to help, and the hourly wages he paid were very high, and he didn't need to wear uniforms." She sighed faintly, "Nowadays, men are more handsome than girls. There are many advantages."
"Then he... just came to help when he was very busy at noon? Didn't he come at other times?" Ji Mingyue asked.
"Yeah." Zhang Meng looked back and said, "It's strange, it stands to reason that he should have left at this point before, but he is still here now."
Ji Mingyue followed her gaze and found that Lin Feng was delivering food to a table of guests by the window. The afternoon sun shone on him, reflecting his tall and slender figure. The moment Ji Mingyue looked over, he also turned his head in response and glanced at him.
When they arrived at the children's activity area, Zhang Meng continued to go back to work, while Doudou plunged into the ocean of foam balls, splashing about energetically in it, like a cheerful little fish.
He was so excited that he kicked up a foam ball and hit it on the head of a little girl nearby. The little girl said "Ouch". He had already "swimmed" one step ahead, grabbing the little girl's hand and rubbing her head.
After the two children said a few words, the little girl smiled, took Doudou's outstretched hand, and went up the slide hand in hand with him.
Ji Mingyue: ...
When it comes to picking up girls, this is the one who is really self-taught and wins at the starting line!
Ji Ming stared at it for a while, and felt that the facilities here were clean and safe, and that Doudou was having a good time, so he temporarily relaxed, walked away a few steps, and sat on the sidelines to play with his mobile phone.
He just played a small game when he heard Doudou's voice: "Brother!"
Ji Mingyue quickly raised his head and saw that Doudou had crawled out of the foam ball and was holding his new playmate by the hand. His little face was flushed with excitement, and he ran towards him: "Brother, I'll take you with me." Here comes a toy, you give it to... Aw!!!"
The child was not on guard, and tripped heavily by the suddenly outstretched foot next to him. With a "bang", the little girl next to him almost fell down, knelt beside him, her eyes were red.
Ji Mingyue ran over the moment Doudou fell, and hurriedly helped the child up. Fortunately, there was no damage, but when Doudou saw Ji Mingyue, his mouth was aggrieved, and he said "wow". Weeping loudly.
While hugging him to comfort him, Ji Mingyue raised his head and glared at the instigator: "You are sick!"
The one who tripped people on purpose was one of those young men who were flamboyant. Although it wasn't "Brother Sun" himself, "Brother Sun" walked over with his hands in his trouser pockets, obviously deliberately instigating Dry dog legs.
"Take your children to vent your anger, are you men?" Ji Mingyue felt that he had really underestimated their lower limit, and thought that if something happened, he would come for him. And seeing that they like to brag and be strong on the outside, they may not necessarily take action just because of speculation.
In the end, they didn't do anything to him, and chose to stretch out their feet to trip over a child!
He almost laughed angrily.
"Whether we are men or not, don't you know if you try it yourself?" Someone laughed.
The people next to him followed suit, deliberately humiliating him with a mouthful of nasty words: "Give us a day tonight, and you will know who the man is!"
"She's quite pretty, if she hadn't stood up, we'd have thought she was a woman."
"Just like you," "Brother Sun" wanted to slap him on the face with the back of his hand, but Ji Mingyue dodged it, and he sucked his teeth in displeasure, and said, "You still want to grab girls from me?!"
"What's your name?" Ji Mingyue raised his face while wiping Doudou's tears.
He knew that this group of people would humiliate and push him at most, and did not dare to do anything in Zhang Meng's shop, so his face looked cold and calm.
However, he has already counted a hundred ways to hire a murderer to beat someone...
"Do you know what my name is? What do you want to do?" "Brother Sun" frowned, and slurred in obscenities, "You just need to know how big my job is..."
"You look like this, you are suitable for being a woman to sleep with. Let's see what your grandson looks like..." He turned his head and glanced, "Look at any waiter who looks more manly than you..."
Boom.
"Any one" The tall and handsome waiter came over and punched him in the face.
The cold drink shop was very chaotic that day, and there was a little bit of humor in the chaos.
Seeing that Lin Feng had made a move, Ji Mingyue followed suit, but was forcibly pressed behind him by Lin Feng. Zhang Meng came out from the back kitchen and saw that he was yelling "Sun Jie, I'm fucking your ancestor" while coming over to assist with small fists; the shop owner also came out from the back room, shouting "Don't fight, I'll call the police" while pulling sideways, taking the opportunity from time to time A kick and a punch.
As a result, there were two superficial combatants on their side, but they abruptly fought an evenly matched posture with four or five people on the opposite side.
Especially when the police siren sounded from a distance, "Brother Sun" and the others were even more unwilling to fight. Lin Feng pushed the three of them on the ground alone and beat three of them.
"Boss, did you really call the police?" Zhang Meng rubbed her hands and hissed.
"No, I guess I happened to be passing by." The boss gasped, "I saw the first move on your side, so it's unreasonable to call the police!"
"He tripped the child first!" Ji Ming was more unconvinced.
"Then you beat them back and beat them back. Lin Feng, you are so ruthless. Those who don't know think your wife has been molested." The boss said, "There is safflower oil in it, why don't you go and rub it? "
"That... the broken thing, do we need to pay for it?"
Zhang Meng coaxed Doudou to play outside. The boss’s rest room was very small, less than five square meters. After setting up the bed, he couldn’t even turn around. There was a small window on the roof, and the light was dim.
There were only Ji Mingyue and Lin Feng in the room. Lin Feng turned on the bedside lamp, sat sideways on the bedside, and applied safflower oil on the bruises on his body without saying a word.
Ji Mingyue went up and gave two punches at the very beginning, but was pulled behind by Lin Feng the whole time, so he was unscathed. He didn't need to take the medicine, and wandered around the room twice. Although he seemed embarrassed...but he still cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"No," Lin Feng replied without raising his head, "His desks, chairs and benches don't cost much, at worst, I don't need my salary for helping today."
"... Oh." Ji Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but cautiously leaned over and asked, "Is your back hurt enough? Can I rub the medicine for you?"
Lin Feng seemed to want to turn his head to look at him, but he didn't know why he didn't turn his head. After a while, he said in a tense voice: "...OK."
The cloth was pushed up, and the young man's back was stretched straight, and the lines became more and more beautiful. When Ji Mingyue's warm and cool fingertips touched the scattered bruises on it, the two trembled almost at the same time.
No one spoke.
Ji Mingyue slowly applied the medicine one by one, and then went to get the bandage on one side. Lin Feng's injuries were basically bruises, not serious, so he didn't need to wrap them up layer by layer. He only needed to cut the bandages into small squares and stick them on the medicated wounds to prevent the medicated oil from being rubbed off.
There were no scissors in the boss's medicine box, only a fruit knife, and Ji Mingyue picked it up, and while cutting the bandage, he couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again... I wish I had left earlier, no I should always feel that they are afraid to do it..."
Seeing Lin Feng's injuries, he really felt distressed.
"You..." Just as Lin Feng said a word, he heard Ji Mingyue's "hiss". In a blink of an eye, he forgot what he wanted to say. Looking back, it turned out that the light was too dim. When Ji Mingyue cut the bandage with a fruit knife, Accidentally cut his own hand.
This time, in turn, it was Lin Feng who pressed his hands and bandaged him, and his movements were clean and neat, much better than him.
"Forget it if you're stupid."
Ji Ming felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, I..."
"How many times do you have to say it, don't tell me you're sorry." Lin Feng interrupted him without even raising his eyelashes, and continued to lower his eyes to bandage, "It's fine if you do this."
He wanted to say it before, but because of such words, the emotions mixed in them were too strong, so that there was no way to express them.
——It’s good if you do this, you don’t need to spend your time trying to be nice to me, follow me, chase me, and try to please me.
Even if you don't, I will protect you.
