Chapter Ninety-One: The Bookstore
Sunan drove away from the hospital and turned an intersection, with another traffic light in front of him. He slowed down and slowly slid over, only to find Jasmine walking ahead with her head down.
It's a big night, and there are no people on the road. didn't dare to get too close, for fear of scaring her, Sunan pressed the horn, but found that the other party didn't react at all.
Take a closer look, Jasmine is wearing a sweatshirt hat and possibly earplugs. It's not safe for a girl, and it's not the way to go to a hospital or a hotel.
Suddenly, Jasmine turned around and entered a shop that was still open on the street, and looked at the sign that it looked like a bookstore.
Sunan thought about it, found a place to park, and followed into the bookstore, only to find that it was open 24 hours a day.
Don't say it, there are still a lot of customers.
Sunan is a person who is used to nightlife, but never thought that bookstores could also become a corner of the night economy. And it's obviously not just literary and artistic youth.
There doesn't seem to be any clerk in the store, anyway, Sunan looked over and couldn't tell who the boss was.
A middle-aged aunt was sitting on the sofa reading a book, this kind of crowd was not in the square dance team, Sunan was a little puzzled.
Further inside, there is a free reading area, a magazine area, and of course, a must-have coffee area for staying up late.
A row of tall feet on the street is full of young people, most of whom carry backpacks and have paper and pens on the table, which feels like a school study room.
After looking around, Sunan finally found Jasmine behind a row of bookshelves. She was talking to a rustic uncle. The two of them had a piece of paper in their hands, and Jasmine pointed at it, and looked carefully at the bookshelf, as if they were looking for a book?
As soon as she looked up, Jasmine was surprised to find Sunan walking towards her, but she continued to look down.
Finally, she happily picked up a book with a colorful cover, and looked at the words on the spine, it turned out to be Dream of Red Mansions, but the packaging was a little lively, which was different from the ancient design that everyone saw every day.
When the uncle left contentedly with the book, Sunan stepped forward and asked, "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"The popular version, children can watch it. ”
Sunan nodded.
"What are you doing here?" said in unison, both laughing again.
"I was with my uncle in the hospital and found this bookstore. ”
"I'm here to see Mr. Fu. You've been staying in a hotel lately?"
"I went back after work. I'm here with Doudou today, so I'll stop by to take a look. ”
Thinking of the pocket that was crooked with Qin Chao just now, Sunan smiled.
Jasmine led him to the café and sat down.
"Drink something?"
"Are you really going to stay here all night?"
"Coffee is just a drink for me, I can't sleep. ”
"American. ”
"You're just going to stay up late. Jasmine frowned, went to the bar and ordered an Americano, and ordered herself a latte.
"After watching for a long time, I met this clerk. Sunan gestured to the waiter behind the bar.
"I've been here many times and never met the owner. There are usually only two clerks per night. ”
"But in this kind of place, most of them are regular customers, so it's not a big problem. ”
"Hmm. Jasmine nestled in the sofa and said lazily, "That uncle just now often comes to buy books, and it is said that he brings them back to his hometown for his children." ”
"Why pick this bookstore?"
Jasmine shook her head: "It seems that I am working during the day, and I only get off work at this time." ”
"I don't buy online. Therefore, those traditional shopping channels and paper bills still have value. ”
"Possibly. ”
"Coffee for two, please use it slowly. "The waiter brought the coffee.
"When I entered the door just now, I saw an aunt. Sunan said.
"That aunt I know, insomnia. ”
Sunan remembered his mother's menopause and realized: "It seems that everyone who comes here has a story. ”
"Not here, but there are. Jasmine took a sip of coffee and looked at Sunan with meaning.
"What books do you usually read?"
"I recently watched "Woman, It's Only Your Fault for Provoking Me". ”
“……”
"Do you have to read a masterpiece if you stay up late?"
"It's not. Well...... When will I wait for me to read it before commenting. ”
"You won't like to watch. ”
"Why?"
"The male protagonist of this kind of book is probably like you, but the plot is too detached from reality. ”
Sunan was dumbfounded, and heard a man's voice behind him: "Sunan?"
He turned his head to see that it was Fu Shouyi, who had only been separated for a long time, and then looked at Jasmine, and thought helplessly, this is fate, I can't stop it.
"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Fu's son, Fu Shouyi. Sunan didn't stand up, just beckoned to Fu Shouyi, motioned for him to come over, and said, "This is Master Qian's niece, Jasmine." ”
After saying that, he looked at the two of them for a long time, curious to see what expressions they would have.
Obviously, neither party expected to see each other for the first time in this situation.
Surprised, but ...... It seems that at least the other party doesn't annoy his appearance, or this environment is comfortable, anyway, it's okay.
"Hello. ”
"Hello. Jasmine stood up, "Do you drink coffee?
"Latte. ”
Jasmine was satisfied, smiled and nodded, and turned to walk towards the bar.
Fu Shouyi picked a sofa and sat down, looking at Sunan meaningfully.
Sunan spread his hands, saying that everything was accidental.
"Mr. Fu is coming back to see Mr. Fu?"
"Yes. By the way, pick him up and go to the United States. ”
"Isn't Mr. Fu almost recovered?" Jasmine seemed a little nervous.
Fu Shouyi knew that she understood, and explained: "It's just going to play for two days." We'll be back together next month. ”
"Your coffee. "This time, the coffee was delivered by a young man, not wearing a clerk's uniform, and the coffee he brought was placed directly in front of Jasmine, with a heart-shaped latte art on it. He looked at Jasmine intently, completely shielding out the two men next to him.
Fu Shouyi and Sunan immediately felt the hostility behind the ignorance.
Jasmine looked up as if she had seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Thank you. This cup is his. As she spoke, she pushed the coffee cup in front of Fu Shouyi.
Before the other party had time to say anything, Fu Shouyi unceremoniously picked it up and drank the latte flower in one gulp. With this drink, the small half cup of coffee is gone.
"Thank you. Tastes good. Fu Shouyi raised his head and said to the man who delivered the coffee.
Jasmine lowered her head and smiled.
Sunan also sighed in his heart, he didn't realize that Fu Shouyi's heart to protect calves was too heavy.
"The three of them chatted slowly. I'm Fan Yunchen, the boss here, and I'm always looking for me if you need to. Someone had to leave the scene gloomily, and as soon as he turned around, he heard Fu Shouyi say:
"Do you want to come with me to the United States for two days?"
How acquainted are we? Jasmine was a little stunned.
Sunan reacted quickly and responded cooperatively: "Yes." You can also go shopping with his dad and feel Christmas. It's still quite interesting. ”
Jasmine didn't understand until she heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground behind her.
Turning his head, Fan Yunchen was rubbing his knees, smiling at them awkwardly, and left in a panic.
"You ......," Jasmine frustrated, "this is the first time I've seen him here." ”
"This shouldn't be the first time he's seen you. Fu Shouyi guessed.
"In the past, you should have been alone, but today there are two more of us, so ......" Sunan also began to deduce.
Jasmine found that men use their imagination and are not inferior to gossip women, but she doesn't plan to dwell on this topic, after all, she doesn't plan to have a romantic encounter.
So she asked, "Mr. Fu should also enter TP, right?"
"Hmm. When I return home at the end of the year, it's time to go to work. ”
"Thank you for your attention. Jasmine pointed to the coffee in front of Fu Shouyi, "For the sake of my coffee." ”
Fu Shouyi smiled, picked it up and took another sip: "Okay." ”
Sunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two got along quite well.
Jasmine, he's not familiar. But Fu Shouyi, he still knows very well. It can be seen that Fu Shouyi has a good impression of Jasmine, not on the surface.
At this time, Fu Shouyi's mobile phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and picked it up: "Auntie." Is there anything wrong with this late hour...... Okay, I'll be there in a minute. ”
Sunan and Jasmine were very surprised, Mrs. Fu's eldest sister was still the third sister, and they even knew that Fu Shouyi was in China.
