Yinglong was busy with the things at hand in the store, and Wenxue was quietly cleaning on the side.

She first mopped the tiled floor with a mop, then gently wiped the tables and chairs with a rag, and finally emptied the ashtrays one by one, took them to the workshop to wash them, and put them back in their places shiny.

Of course, the glass windows in the store are always wiped clean and spotless by Wen Xue. It's so bright that when you look out from inside the room, it's as if there is no glass.

Yinglong feels that Wen Xue is diligent, which is rare in the world, perhaps because she cherishes this job very much.

Yinglong plans to stay until next year, as long as Wen Xue doesn't leave, she will be given a salary increase, because of Wen

Xue He could have hired one less laborer, and it was natural for her to increase her salary.

The conditions in Wen Xue's family are not good, Yinglong knows a little about it, he sympathizes with Wen Xue, and at the same time admires her for her young age, she is the pillar of the family.

He even hoped that Wen Xue could find a good family to marry, so that he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future.

It happened to be one afternoon that there weren't many customers in the store.

Yinglong and Wenxue were idle, so they sat behind the counter and played with the computer. Xiaoqiang was still there just now, and when he saw that there was nothing in the store, he said to Yinglong, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yinglong was bored and a little thirsty, so he turned around and instructed Wen Xue, who was watching Taobao on the Internet: "Hey, Wen Xue, you're okay now, can you help me get a cocktail?" ”

Wen Xue turned her head and looked at Yinglong with wide eyes, with a somewhat curious expression: "Brother Long, are you idle, do you want to drink at this time?"

Yinglong looked weak: "Go, go, go, get a drink, what are you doing so verbosely." ”

Wen Xue looked at Yinglong mischievously and smiled: "What are you doing with such a big temper, isn't it just to get a cocktail?

After saying that, Wen Xue jumped off the barstool, turned around and ran to the workshop to get a bartender and some ingredients.

Wen Xue reached out and opened the cap of the rye whisky with her shallot-like fingers, poured about two-quarters of the whiskey into the can, then about a quarter of the red vermouth, and finally added a little Angostura bitters.

Then she closed the lid and put it in her hand, shaking it gently up and down, left and right.

Wen Xue's movements were gentle and delicate, and the slender jade hand holding the bartender made a graceful arc in the air, revealing her snow lotus-like arms under the short sleeves, which fluttered and danced there, dazzling.

After a moment, Wen Xue put down the bartender and poured the mixed cocktail into a clean glass. The red cocktail draws a graceful arc above the glass and falls into the crystal clear

In the glass, the syrup takes on a reddish agate color.

Wen Xue then added two ice cubes to the cup, and placed a red cherry and a slice of peeled orange peel on the rim of the cup.

"Brother Long, try my 'Manhattan'!"

Wen Xue picked up the wine glass and put it on the table, and gently pushed "Manhattan" in front of Yinglong.

The wine is so ingenious that it is simply impeccable.

The agate-like cocktail has a flame-like color in the glass, not as bright red as the small accent, but this one is mellow and soft. With the golden orange peel and the cherry resting on the rim of the cup, it looks like a girl's heart.

Yinglong exclaimed, picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, the wine syrup exuded the fragrance of absinthe, and when he took a sip, a refreshing sweet fragrance accompanied by a faint taste of absinthe lingered on the tip of his tongue.

Yinglong had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and a pulsating aftermath rippled in his heart.

"Wen Xue, I didn't expect you to have this hand! No wonder customers like to drink your wine, I really can't see it!" Yinglong tasted the wine and slowly raised his head to look at Wen Xue.

I've been learning this for a long time. Wen Xue was a little embarrassed and a little surprised, but she didn't expect Yinglong to know that her skills were good until now.

"Yes, to be honest, I didn't expect your 'Manhattan' to be so different, you can completely surpass Xiaoqiang!" Yinglong thought about it and couldn't help but praise her.

"Where can I surpass Brother Qiang, it's just a little different. Wen Xue's words were very modest, she didn't dare to think that she could surpass her master Xiaoqiang.

"Then why did you shake it just now?" asked Yinglong, puzzled.

"It's just a matter of shaking the mixed wine a little better so it tastes better, but it doesn't mean anything else. ”

Wen Xue smiled, revealing a row of white and neat teeth like shells, and smiled slightly.

"Oh, yes. I think your craftsmanship is simply different from the original!" Yinglong slowly tasted "Manhattan" and turned his head to look at Wen Xue.

"So, do you like my 'Manhattan'?" Wen Xue lowered her eyes slightly, and then stared at Yinglong's eyes faintly.

"yes, I like it. Yinglong looked at Wen Xue, and his soft gaze made him feel his eyes burn, and his heart throbbed.

Yinglong hurriedly withdrew his gaze and stared at the wine glass in his hand.

Crystal clear, red agate-like liquor vibrates in the glass, like a dancing flame singing and dancing in the cup.

Could it be that this glass of wine poured Wen Xue's wish?

The atmosphere at this moment was a little intoxicating, and the sweet fragrance and absinthe fragrance of the elixir jade liquid on the tip of the tongue dipped into Yinglong's heart and spleen, constantly penetrating, so that he felt a slight dizziness.

Yinglong took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, feeling the intoxicating sweetness of "Manhattan".

"Wen Xue, can you help me make a glass of wine like this next time?"

Yinglong swept his gaze to Wen Xue's beautiful face and asked softly.

"Okay, Brother Long, definitely. Wen Xue clasped her hands together and gently held them on the countertop, lowered her eyes and smiled.

Two intoxicating dimples instantly bloomed on Wen Xue's cheeks.

There is a saying in the legend that people with dimples on their faces are because they had an unfinished relationship in their previous lives, and because they refused to drink Meng Po soup and jumped into the Lechuan River, so Meng Po made a mark on their faces, which is dimples.

They will carry the memories of their past lives and look for unfinished love in the next life, so when you find someone with dimples around you, you must cherish it. Because they had waited for thousands of years in the Lethe River to come to this life to be reincarnated.

Yinglong thought that Wen Xue was probably an infatuated woman in her previous life, otherwise how could she have two dimples.

Although it is a legend, he is also half-skeptical about whether people have a past life or an afterlife. Otherwise, why would a princess say that she was a dolphin in her previous life?

Some people say that they keep memories of their past lives, and even swear by what kind of person they were in their previous lives and what they did. Whether there is a previous life, Yinglong doesn't know, but a gentle and beautiful woman like Wen Xue, he can't bear to hurt it.

He subconsciously thought that Wen Xue needed someone to protect her, she was like a beautiful narcissus, warm and beautiful, exuding a charming atmosphere.

"Brother Long, are you usually alone?" Wen Xue asked Yinglong with a twist of her fingers.

"What kind of person? ...... you mean?"

Yinglong felt that Wen Xue's words were a little sudden, and he didn't realize that Wen Xue would ask such a question just now.

"I see that you usually go alone, and sometimes you live in the store. ”

Wen Xue turned her head to look at Yinglong, and then turned her head to look at her finger after a while.

"You mean, I'm alone now, and sometimes I take a break in the store when it's late. Yinglong stared at the wine glass and replied to Wenxue.

"Then you live alone?" Wen Xue was a little curious.

"Well, one person is alone, my parents are actually in Ben Cheng, sometimes I go to see them. Yinglong was a little confused.

"Once I saw a picture of a child in your wallet, is it your son?" asked Wen Xue faintly.

"Well, it's my son, but my son is in Lake City. Yinglong tapped the countertop with his fingers.

"Brother Long, your son is very cute, he looks quite like you!" Wen Xue looked at Yinglong with a smile.

"Yes, my son is quite cute, but unfortunately he is not around, and I miss him a little. Yinglong took a deep breath and took out the photo in his wallet and handed it to Wen Xue.

"Well, this is my son, named Yingrui. ”

"Heh! Hey, so handsome, what a cutie!"

In the photo, Xiao Yingrui is standing in the park holding a bottle of Coke and smiling innocently.

Yinglong saw Wen Xue smiling, looking curiously at Xiao Yingrui in the photo, and he couldn't help but smile.

"But what about your wife?" Wen Xue felt a little strange.

"Well, she, we broke up. Yinglong took the photo from Wen Xue's hand, stuffed it into his wallet, and put it in his pocket.

"Oh, yes, I'm really sorry. ”

"Nothing, we've been apart for a long time. "Yinglong didn't know what to say.

Wen Xue and Ying Long were silent for a while.

"Why haven't you seen your boyfriend come to you, is he busy?" Yinglong was a little puzzled.

"Well, I --, haven't talked about friends yet, and my family is poor, so I don't plan to do it yet, so I'll save some money first. ”

Wen Xue awkwardly stroked a few strands of hair hanging down from her forehead.

"yes, in fact, if there are good lads, you can also consider it. Yinglong took a sip of his glass.

"However, there must be a suitable one, for example, I won't consider it if I'm like Xiaoqiang. Wen Xue looked at Yinglong, lowered her eyes, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Hehe! It seems that Xiaoqiang has no hope!" Yinglong laughed.

"He's flamboyant, who knows if what he says is true or false, I don't think it's reliable. Wen Xue raised her eyes and glanced out the door.

"It's right to find a reliable young man, after all, it's a lifelong thing. Yinglong nodded.

"Yes, men still have to be reliable, who knows what will happen in the future!" Wen Xue crossed her fingers and clenched it.

"Well, you're right, not only men have to be reliable, but women also have to be reliable. Yinglong is deeply touched by this.

"According to me, whether it is a man or a woman, you have to be sincere, do you say yes? ”

"Wen Xue, what you said is the most correct, that's the truth!" Yinglong very much agreed with Wen Xue's opinion.

"So, finding someone to live with is a lifelong thing. If you find the right person, you won't have anything to worry about in this life. ”

"Yes, you really have to find the right person, and you have to stand the test. ”

"So, you have to look at people accurately, but it's harder, so I'm not in a hurry to find a boyfriend. ”

"I see, then you have to wait! Don't you know the phrase that you will see people's hearts over time? How can you be able to see it all at once?"

Yinglong couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but feel that Wenxue was a little cute.

"What are you laughing at, I am not in a hurry to meet thousands of miles away!" Wen Xue raised her chin and showed a light smile.

"That's good, then it's up to you who you're destined for!" Yinglong looked out the window with a smile.

"Hehe, maybe someone will come to the door!

"You're so confident!"

"Of course, what am I anxious about?"

"You are really the emperor's daughter, don't worry about getting married!"

Yinglong is glad that Wenxue came to his small shop and did not fall into the red dust, maybe this is her temporary refuge.

is such an innocent girl, he thinks that he must protect Wenxue and prevent her from being hurt. After Wen Xue found the satisfactory Lang Jun, he could rest assured that Wen Xue would leave, but he also doubted whether he would really be willing to do so at that time.

Yinglong once thought that he had become a flower messenger, and could only admire this fresh and beautiful flower from afar, and could not bear to pick it himself.

Because it would be pleasing to look at her, if once plucked, he would worry that the flower would wither from now on.

Sometimes, it is more precious to look at something beautiful from a distance than to possess it.

The feeling that Wen Xue brought to Yinglong was a kind of mental throbbing, which caused his empty soul to stir up ripples in circles, he didn't know if it was a long-lost touch, so that his empty heart was impacted, and it was no longer a backwater.

But he didn't dare to open his mind to accept this feeling, for fear that he would be dwarfed by him, and he would not be able to face Wen Xue calmly from now on, so they would not get along well in the future.

Yinglong suppressed the impulse in his heart, not daring to let Wen Xue's burning gaze melt the ice in his heart, lest he not be able to stand calmly in front of Wen Xue.

Yinglong faced everything with patience like this, maintained the demeanor of a man, calmly commanded the things in the store, he still wanted to play the role of the boss well, so as not to lose his sense of proportion in front of everyone, thus messing up Yun Zhiyao's business.

After all, he is the boss, and he needs to make a living just like everyone else, although it seems that Yinglong is a little different from others.
