&nbOn the second day after Lu Yao returned to Winter City, she decided to help Jiang Rui's jade shop. Jiang Rui gave her the position of acting store manager, although everyone knew it. She won't be here long. But Lu Yao’s character means that she must be serious and responsible whether she works for a day or a month.
&nbShe got up early on her first day at work. The clerks in jade shops all have uniforms. Lu Yao didn't have it, so he followed the store's style. She changed into a foot-length skirt with a bit of ethnic style, and her long hair was not tied up. Drape it down casually.
&nbWhile packing the bag, she saw the bell bracelet in the mezzanine. This bracelet was given to her by Xia Shengyi. When I was in Night City before. Ji Guanxin didn't like the smell, so he wouldn't let her wear it. Ji Guanxin wasn't here either. Lu Yao saw that the bracelet matched the skirt quite well. So take it out and wear it on your right wrist.
&nbAfter all, I promised Xia Shengyi. It’s also not easy to wear one set in front of you and another on the back, wearing it for a few days is meaningless. Wait until Ji Guanxin arrives before taking it off.
&nbAfter everything was packed up, Lu Yao went out to work.
&nbShe came early. The store door was still locked. Jiang Rui gave her a key and she opened the door and went in. When she came here yesterday for a quick glance, she didn't have time to take a closer look. Now that she had plenty of time, Lu Yao took a clear look at every furnishing in the store from left to right.
&nbThe jade stones here were brought back by Jiang Rui from Myanmar or abroad. They are all of high quality. Each piece can be regarded as a work of art when taken alone. Lu Yao originally loved to play with these bead strings, but the ones she used cost tens or hundreds of yuan. The things here start at least five figures, and if they cost more than hundreds of thousands or millions, then they will go up. No more caps.
&nbBefore the clerk left yesterday, he had cleaned the inside of the store, so the floor was very clean. After Lu Yao walked around for a while, she had nothing to do, so she simply went to the bathroom to wash a towel and wipe it everywhere.
&nbJiang Rui went to the airport to see off a friend at around six o'clock in the morning. On his way back, he passed by the jade shop. At this point, the door of the shop was not open yet, but as soon as he walked by, he saw that there was no lock on the door. .
&nbThe car stopped on the street, he stepped down and walked into the store.
&nbLu Yao was wearing a lotus-pink dress and long hair shawl. She was facing away from him and was cleaning the jade plates placed on the shelf. With her movements, the lotus leaf sleeves on her arms fluttered left and right, and the decorations in the store made people feel trance-like, as if they had returned to ancient times in an instant, and her mere silhouette was enough to make people fascinated.
&nbLu Yao carefully wiped the jade plate and then slowly put it back in place. The towel on her hand was stained with dust, and she thought about going back to the bathroom to wash it again. When she turned around, she accidentally saw a tall figure poking at the door. She was startled and couldn't help but take a small breath.
&nbWhen she saw clearly that it was Jiang Rui, she raised her beautiful eyes and said with some surprise: "Brother Rui?"
&nbJiang Rui finally came to his senses. He suppressed the feeling of heat on his face and his eyes dodged slightly. Then he smiled and said, "Did I scare you?"
&nbLu Yao didn't lie, and replied truthfully: "Well, I was shocked. Brother Rui, why are you here?"
&nbShe wanted to ask, why did he come so early? Still standing at the door without saying a word, it meant that she had been scared by Ji Guanxin once before, and her courage had increased to a new level. Otherwise, if she had encountered someone who was startled just now, she would probably have knocked down the shelf behind her.
&nbJiang Rui said: "I went to the airport to see off a friend and passed by here when I came back. Why are you here so early?"
&nbTell her to just come back at eight-thirty. Others arrived at eight, but it's only half-past seven now.
&nbLu Yao smiled and replied: "I went to bed early last night, and there was nothing to do when I got up anyway, so I might as well come over and open the store door first."
&nbJiang Rui said: "You don't have to work. If your brother knew that I called you over to clean things up, he would definitely kill someone."
&nbLu Yao smiled and said, "My brother wants to send me to your place to raise you, right?"
&nbJiang Rui also laughed, and he replied aloud: "Yao Yao, you really don't have to work. Your brother and I think the same thing. During the time you stayed in Winter City, you were relaxed. How can you be happy? Come."
&nbLu Yao said: "I'm happy. Brother Rui, you don't have to worry about me. On the contrary, if you don't let me do anything, then I really can't stay with you any longer."
&nbFrom the times Jiang Rui came into contact with Lu Yao after bringing her back from the Night City, it is not difficult to find that Lu Yao is a virtuous and sensible person that is rare among young girls in this era. When she was at home, she had to work in the kitchen. Sometimes she would wipe the table with a towel, and sometimes she would squat on the floor and wipe the floor. This made Lu Boquan always say that she was not happy and only knew how to work all day long.
&nbI don’t know how she spent these years in Night City to develop such a character. Just looking at it makes people feel distressed.
&nbJiang Rui sighed secretly, and then said: "You have done all other people's work. When they come over later and find that there is nothing to do, they have to worry about whether you, the store manager, are giving them power."
&nbLu Yao said subconsciously: "I didn't think so much..."
&nbJiang Ruidao: "They don't know you, and you don't know what they are thinking, so I advise you to leave a way for others to survive, so that they don't have to look at your eyes to do things."
&nbLu Yao has never been a serious businessman except for making some money with Xu Yingjia, and she doesn't know the so-called way of doing business.
&nbBut this is Jiang Rui's place. Even if he speaks, she won't listen.
&nbIf you don’t want to do it, just do it. Lu Yao said: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.” After that, she asked again: “Brother Rui, do you want to come in and sit for a while or go home and go to bed?”
&nbJiang Rui is not a person who is very good at talking to girls, not to mention that Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin are getting married soon. At such an early hour, there were only two of them in the store. He stayed and had to think about what to say later and worry about whether he would be misunderstood. Reason told him that he had to leave and just take a look.
&nbBut another voice in her heart was saying that she was alone at such an early hour, if something happened...
&nb"I just want to read something." Before I could fully think about it in my heart, I had already spoken out my words in advance.
&nb Lu Yao heard this and quickly said: "Then I will make you a cup of tea. Do you want Dahongpao or Longjing?"
&nbThe store is full of special good tea, because he has a friend who is in the tea business and gives a lot of it, so he puts it in the store to entertain guests. But Jiang Rui, who doesn't usually drink tea, woke up very early and wanted to go back to sleep. He couldn't fall asleep after drinking tea.
&nb"Whatever."
&nb"Then let me make a pot of Longjing for you."
&nbLooking at Lu Yao’s back as she turned and left, Jiang Rui breathed a sigh of relief instinctively.
&nbWhat's wrong with him? What you think in your heart and what you say are completely different things.
&nb Lu Yao went to the tea room, leaving Jiang Rui sitting alone on the sofa, dazed with a jade bracelet in his hand. It seemed like he was observing the jade bracelet, but in fact, his consciousness had already drifted far away.
&nbHe was thinking about how he felt when he saw Lu Yao for the first time more than ten years later.
&nbIt was amazing. Jiang Rui was already confused when he saw Lu Yao wearing a mask with only a pair of eyes exposed a few meters away. He remembered that Lu Chi's sister used to hang out at his house when she was a child. But over the years, they had grown up and each had experienced a lot of things that would change people.
&nbBut the only thing that hasn't changed is his understanding of her appearance. She had been beautiful since she was a child. Every time he came to Lu's house to look for Lu Chi or to have a meal, he would be in a good mood for the whole day if he could say a few words or joke with Lu Yao.
&nbLater, Lu Yao followed Du Hui to marry into Night City, and his family also encountered great changes, so he never had time to think about his childhood.
&nbWhen Jiang Rui saw her again, she felt happy beyond words. He admitted that he was vulgar and was attracted by Lu Yao's appearance. But in recent years, no matter whether his condition was good or bad, all kinds of women took the initiative to throw themselves into his arms, including some beautiful ones, but he was not interested in any of them.
&nbSo he thought that his obsession with Lu Yao was not just a matter of lust. To a large extent, it also had memories of his childhood.
&nbHe could see that she was unhappy, so he took her to Lancheng to play. When he knew that she was lovelorn, his first reaction was not that she was in love with another man, but that he was glad that she was finally alone now.
&nbHe is not short of money now. He can afford a house, a car, and anything she likes. And based on the relationship between him and Lu Chi, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to pursue Lu Yao, right
&nbThe reason why he didn't mention it was because after all, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and he couldn't tell Lu Yao that he liked her just a few days after they met. He was afraid of scaring her, and he was also afraid that she would think he had a bad character.
&nbBut this delay actually cost Ji Guanxin. And as soon as he came, he coaxed Lu Yao right away.
&nbSeeing that Lu Yao finally had a smile on her face, Jiang Rui felt mixed emotions in her heart. She couldn't tell whether it was sadness or loss. He could only persuade himself that it was a good thing he didn't speak to Lu Yao, otherwise he would only embarrass her.
&nbShe likes Ji Guanxin, and Ji Guanxin also wants to marry her. This is a great thing.
&nbAs for these little secrets in his heart, he is the only one who knows them, and he won't even tell Lu Chi.
&nb"Brother Rui, drink tea." Using love and time:
&nbJiang Rui's consciousness was brought back to reality by a familiar voice. He turned his head and saw Lu Yao in a long skirt walking over with a tea tray.
&nbShe picked up the teapot and poured him tea herself. Jiang Rui subconsciously reached out and said, "I'll do it myself."
&nbBut the teacup was very small. He didn't dare to touch it in Lu Yao's hand, so he could only let her fill the cup.
&nbLu Yao placed the teacup in front of Jiang Rui and sat down on the sofa opposite him. Seeing a jade bracelet in his hand, Lu Yao asked curiously: "Is there anything special about it?"
&nbJiang Rui glanced at the bracelet in his hand. In fact, there was nothing special about it. He just found a reason casually. But when Lu Yao asked, he had no choice but to explain to her, from the material of the jade bracelet to the place of origin, to the workmanship and the crowd, he almost regarded her as his apprentice.
&nbLu Yao was very interested in these things, so she nodded frequently.
&nbThe two of them chatted and drank tea until the first clerk walked into the store.
