Chapter 4 Is This a Date?
"Lao Lin, what are you doing again?" After Dong Bin prepared the drinks ordered by the girls, he saw Lin Xiaoyao sitting in a daze at the bar, so he patted Lin Xiaoyao on the shoulder and asked.
"It's nothing, have you adjusted it all?" Lin Xiaoyao asked with a smile. Dong Bin nodded and said to Lin Xiaoyao: "Let Jiang Wei go out." β
After speaking, Dong Bin took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, shook one out and put it in his mouth, and then said to Lin Xiaoyao: "I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." Together?" Then, Dong Bin handed the cigarette case to Lin Xiaoyao.
Lin Xiaoyao also shook out one and put it in his mouth, and after saying hello to Aiwei, he walked to the side of the road outside the drink shop with Dong Bin, looking at the night sky and smoking a cigarette.
"Do you remember that time when a few of us traveled to Xixing Mountain in Tianhai City next door?" Dong Bin said to Lin Xiaoyao while smoking. After Lin Xiaoyao took a puff, he shook off the cigarette ash, and then said to Dong Bin: "Of course I remember, that time we stayed in the B&B in Xixing Mountain, Ai Wei and a few of her girls went to the hot spring pool to soak in the hot spring, but soon after they entered, the B&B staff accidentally reversed the curtains of the men's and women's hot spring pools, and Jiang Wei happened to go to the hot springs, and ended up walking on the lady's side." β
That night, Jiang Wei was treated as a pervert and beaten by two sisters, Erin and Ivy, by the hot spring pool. After the two of us heard his screams, we asked the staff of the B&B to save him. Dong Bin smiled and said.
"More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Xiaoyao looked at the night sky and said to Dong Bin with a melancholy expression, "There are two more years left, and Minying will finish her doctoral program at Cambridge University, do you have any plans?"
Dong Bin shook his head, and then said to Lin Xiaoyao: "I don't know, my family who is not allergic to Ying doesn't seem to like me very much." Just because when I was in high school, I was very close to those bad teenagers in society for a while. Min Young's family thought I was one of those social gangsters. β
Lin Xiaoyao patted Dong Bin on the shoulder, and then said to Dong Bin: "Actually, you like bartending so much, why don't you become a bartender?" I remember Min Ying's father, who used to be the world's top bartender, and he seems to have a good impression of you, you can continue to learn bartending with him and have a good relationship with him." β
After Dong Bin snuffed out the cigarette butt, he said to Lin Xiaoyao: "It's not that simple. Minyoung's parents have been divorced for many years, and Minyoung has been living with her mother, and in Minyoung's mother's heart, she feels that she has made the wrong choice before and doesn't want Minyoung to repeat the mistakes of the past. β
After Lin Xiaoyao heard Dong Bin's words, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Lin Xiaoyao also extinguished the cigarette butt and returned to the store with Dong Bin. As soon as the two returned to the store, Lin Xiaoyao heard a girl's voice calling his name. Lin Xiaoyao looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Liu Qianqian and several girls who had entered the store not long ago sitting together drinking and chatting.
"It turns out that the person who just talked to that girl on the phone is really you. After Lin Xiaoyao saw Liu Qianqian, he walked to Liu Qianqian's side and said to Liu Qianqian.
"Didn't you go home and clean up the room, why are you here?" Liu Qianqian got up and said to Lin Xiaoyao, and then said to the girls: "Let me introduce you, this is what I just told you, my fiancΓ©." β
After the girls heard Liu Qianqian's words, they looked at Lin Xiaoyao with a surprised expression. "Wow, Qianqian, your fiancΓ© is so handsome. "Standing with you, it's just a talented man and a woman." β
After Lin Xiaoyao heard the words of those girls, he smiled and said, "It's not very handsome." That is, the first of the top ten schools of Tokai University of Technology in my year. β
"Boss, you're not interesting enough. The future boss lady has introduced you to her friends, why don't you tell us about the future boss lady. Jiang Wei suddenly walked to Lin Xiaoyao's side, put his arm on Lin Xiaoyao's shoulder and said to Lin Xiaoyao.
Then, Jiang Wei greeted Liu Qianqian and said, "Hello future boss, I'm Jiang Wei." It's the waitress in the shop. The person in the bar who was mixing drinks was called Dong Bin, and the person next to him was the person in charge of making snacks in the store, called Aiwei. The one who was cleaning up was the waitress in the shop, named Erin, and the two of them were sisters. β
"Alright, go to work. I saw that there were still a lot of dishes left unwashed in the kitchen, so I was about to wash them. Lin Xiaoyao said to Jiang Wei.
After Jiang Wei waved his hand to Liu Qianqian, as well as a few of Liu Qianqian's friends, he was pushed into the kitchen by Lin Xiaoyao and began to clean the dishes.
After pushing Jiang Wei into the kitchen to wash the dishes, Lin Xiaoyao walked to the bar, picked up his cup of milk tea, and pulled a chair to sit next to Liu Qianqian.
"Senior, I didn't expect you to be the same as Qianqian, both of you are a top student. At the age of twenty-two, he completed all the courses of the master's degree and obtained the graduation certificate. After Liu Qianqian introduced Lin Xiaoyao to several of her classmates, one of the girls said to Lin Xiaoyao.
"Actually, it's okay, I didn't plan to go to graduate school so early, it was the guy who was just pushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and fooled me into going to graduate school. Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile after taking a sip of milk tea.
"That's right, senior. Why did you choose to open a drink shop after you finished your graduate studies?" asked a girl suddenly.
"Actually, when I was a child, my dream was to one day open my own drink shop and design every drink on the menu myself. I'm not afraid to tell you, when I was in college, I took a bartender certificate and a barista certificate. Lin Xiaoyao said to the girls, "So in fact, there are two bartenders in the store, namely me and Dong Bin." β
"Senior, can you show us how to mix bartending on the spot?" a girl said to Lin Xiaoyao. Lin Xiaoyao nodded to indicate that there was no problem, and then got up and walked into the bar, found the set of bartending tools, and started on-site bartending. And Dong Bin saw that Lin Xiaoyao was going to demonstrate bartending on the spot, and he was itchy for a while, so he and Lin Xiaoyao came to a two-person live bartending.
In a short time, five base glasses and cocktails of different colors were prepared. "The first cup is Bloody Mary, the second cup is Long Island Iced Tea, the third cup is Angel's Kiss, the fourth cup is Singapore Commander, and the fifth cup is Pretty in Pink. Lin Xiaoyao introduced cup by cup.
Liu Qianqian and the girls tried a little bit of each cup, and then looked at Lin Xiaoyao with a surprised expression. "Drink it. Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao.
"It's good to like it. These are what Dong Bin and I are good at. Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian and a few of her classmates sat for a while "waiting for love" before getting up and going back to the dormitory. "Let's go back first, and at half past ten the names of the dormitories will be called. Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao.
"Do you want me to send you back?" Lin Xiaoyao asked, Liu Qianqian shook her head and said, "No need, you can't enter the school." We'll just go back on our own. By the way, are you free the day after tomorrow, I want to go to the shopping street in the center of the city to buy some things, and move things to you by the way. β
"Yes. Call me when you're ready to go. Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian.
After Liu Qianqian left, Lin Xiaoyao and Dong Bin also began to pack up their things and prepare to close.
......
Two days later, the commercial street of the business district in the center of the East China Sea.
"You asked me to accompany you to buy things, just to buy clothes and cosmetics?" Lin Xiaoyao looked at the big bags and small bags of things in his two hands, and said to Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian held a cup of milk tea, and said to Lin Xiaoyao while drinking: "Otherwise, you think I'm going to buy something." I haven't bought new clothes for a long time, and many of those clothes don't fit well. Gu Han doesn't have to go to class today, that's why I asked you to come out and buy something with me. β
Lin Xiaoyao followed Liu Qianqian speechlessly, and said as he walked: "I said Miss, you have been shopping for more than two hours, and you have bought more than a dozen bags of clothes, pants, skirts and so on, what else do you want to buy." β
"I also want to buy a few sets of couples' clothes, I think there seems to be a clothing store in front of me that specializes in couples' clothes, let's go see what looks good. Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao.
Lin Xiaoyao heard Liu Qianqian say that she wanted to continue shopping, and she almost didn't collapse. As a result, after Liu Qianqian saw Lin Xiaoyao's expression, she said to Lin Xiaoyao: "Today is the first time we have gone out on a date and gone shopping." Can you save some face?"
"Sister, is this a date? You're holding me as a coolie. My feet are going limp. Lin Xiaoyao wanted to cry and said to Liu Qianqian without tears.
"Alright, alright, let's go eat after visiting that house. Liu Qianqian said to Lin Xiaoyao, and after speaking, Liu Qianqian pulled Lin Xiaoyao to the clothing store that specialized in selling couples' clothes.
After Liu Qianqian entered the store, she immediately chose a few sets of couple outfits, and then asked Lin Xiaoyao's opinion. As a result, Lin Xiaoyao sat on the sofa in the clothing store with an expression of almost collapse, and said to Liu Qianqian: "It's good-looking, it's all good-looking, just like it." β
After Liu Qianqian glanced at Lin Xiaoyao, she asked the staff of the clothing store to take out a set of new clothes of her and Lin Xiaoyao's yards for each style, and pack them into bags.
"Let's go. Liu Qianqian took the bag given to her by the staff and said to Lin Xiaoyao. Lin Xiaoyao had a relieved expression, carried things, and walked out of the clothing store behind Liu Qianqian.
At noon, the two of them had lunch at a Japanese restaurant in the shopping street. After lunch, Lin Xiaoyao drove Liu Qianqian back to the dormitory area of Donghai University of Technology, Liu Qianqian returned to the dormitory, and carried the packed luggage downstairs. After the luggage was carried by Lin Xiaoyao into the trunk of the BMW X5, the two returned to the car, and Lin Xiaoyao drove to the community where he lived.
"I didn't expect you to have only three suitcases, which is really rare. Lin Xiaoyao said to Liu Qianqian while driving. After Liu Qianqian glanced at Lin Xiaoyao, she said to Lin Xiaoyao: "I didn't bring anything when I returned to China, I just brought clothes and some cosmetics." β
