Chapter 1 The beautiful man at the door of the coffee shop

On the way to work these days, at the door of a newly renovated café at the corner of Yongfu Road to Dacheng Road, there is always a brightly dressed, fashionably dressed, handsome boy with his legs crossed, drinking coffee while looking at a book in his hand with relish. At first, Junko always hurried to the bar where he worked, not paying attention to the specific appearance of this person, but a few times he saw a passing girl stop to take pictures of him, and Junzi also looked at the boy twice, but he didn't expect to take a closer look, and he took a deep breath of surprise, this boy is too handsome! Handsomely, it seems that > from < Ruili, < the > of the world's fashion garden, this kind of fashion magazine out of the fashion model, even more handsome than the model. The picture of such a handsome boy bathed in the sun reminds Junko of a Japanese movie "Love Letter" that she watched a long time ago, in which there is a scene where the male protagonist stands in front of the window of the library and reads a book, allowing the white curtains to swing in the wind, and the handsome face of the male protagonist bathed in the sun makes Junko unforgettable for a long time, and the boy in front of him reminds Junko of the male protagonist in the movie, and the expressions of the two are really a little similar!

Because I have to pass by this café every day, I have to see this boy every day, and there are a few times when the boy looks up and looks at Junko a few times, and every time Junko avoids his eyes, I don't know why, Junko always feels that there is a playful look in the corners of his eyes, especially the slightly raised corners of his mouth that seem to be smiling and not smiling, giving people a sense of cynicism. Shunzi, who has worked in the bar for nearly ten years, has read countless people, and is a son who came to the bar street to play with the ticket girl, the second generation of the rich brother! Facing the eyes of this handsome guy in front of him, Shunzi did not avoid it this time, and came to a pear vortex, smiled, and swept by!

Shunzi, whose full name is Huang Shunying, is the proprietress of the Eden bar on Yongfu Road Bar Street, came to Shanghai from a small town in Hubei Province at the age of 19, in this Oriental Pearl, the Bund, Lujiazui Financial Center, Xintiandi, the latest fashion tentacles, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street have worked hard for ten years, and finally luckily have a bar of their own on Yongfu Road. Speaking of Eden, this bar is an Australian-style bar, focusing on Australian craft draft beer, there is a two-meter-long beer machine with ten heads behind the pure wooden bar, and people who want to drink craft draft beer on the bar street will come here to have a few drinks, IPA, Pale ale, Lager, Roger, Pilsner everything.

The previous boss Ned is an Australian, 7 years ago Shunzi worked part-time in the Garden of Eden, because of the hard work, smart and smart, won Ned's love, the Shunzi from the full-time work place of high salary dug over, carefully cultivated, from the field to the bar to the kitchen, everything is detailed, carefully taught, less than two years Shunzi was promoted to the manager of Eden, fully responsible for things inside and outside the store.

5 years ago, Ned decided to return to China because of physical reasons, and before leaving, he gave Shunzi the Eden Garden at a low price like a gift, and Shunzi is still grateful to Ned, an old man who has given him help in his career, and unknowingly stayed on Yongfu Road for 7 years, all kinds of bars, cafes, and bakeries on both sides of Yongfu Road have been closed, and they have closed, and I don't know how many owners have changed, but Eden Garden is one of the few bars that has stayed for the longest time.

Every weekend, there is an endless stream of guests who come to Yongfu Road, and there is an endless stream of people who take pictures at the door of those Internet celebrity stores on Yongfu Road during the day, one after another, some of these people go to the bar to drink two glasses, and some are hungry, and they come into the store to eat some fish and chips chicken wings or something. On Saturday, the Eden store was full of people from noon, two part-time college students, Linda and Wendy, didn't come until three o'clock in the afternoon, and Junko was busy ordering from noon, running the dishes, and finally taking care of the cashier.

Finally survived the rush hour, the number of customers in the store was reduced by half, and at this time Linda also began to clock in and go to work, Junko felt that her stomach was already hungry, and asked the kitchen to make herself a spaghetti with meat sauce, and was sitting at an inconspicuous small table in the open-air area outside the bar while eating pasta and playing with her mobile phone, when suddenly a slender, virtuous, and elegant woman sat across the table, and looked at the mouth full of satisfied noodles and said with a face,

"Junko, I'm in love, I'm finally Move On, you must help me tonight!"

Junko was so surprised that a mouthful of pasta was blocked in her chest, she couldn't go up or down, she slapped her chest a few times hard, and drank a large glass of lemonade before she came to her senses and looked at the old guest named Grace in front of her. Grace is a native of Nanjing, three years ago after returning from studying in the United Kingdom and working in Microsoft, is a veritable white-collar elite, high salary, good family background, beautiful people, but I don't know why, just no boyfriend, every Saturday either with colleagues, or alone must come to the Garden of Eden for a drink, rain or shine, become a backbone of the old guests here.

"How can I help? As long as I can do it, I will do it with all my might!"

I heard that this Miss Grace was deeply hurt in England back then, and she still can't get out, if she can really look at someone else, then this person is not a small blessing. It is said that Grace's father is a senior officer in a military region in Nanjing, with a solid family background and a strong background, and is the object of many people's beleagueries. When Grace was studying in the UK, she fell in love with an international student from Fujian, and when she fell in love, her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend came to her for a showdown with a big belly, either breaking up or having two lives, and her boyfriend knelt down and begged her to forgive herself, the child was innocent, and she couldn't be born without a father. In this way, her Fujian boyfriend returned to China to marry her son, and Grace then contracted anorexia and was so thin that only a handful of bones remained.

This incident hit Grace too hard, every time she drank and drank in the Garden of Eden, she cried and laughed while drinking, I don't know how many times it was Junko who took a taxi to send her back, looking at her lying on her shoulder and crying, Junzi often thought, is it so difficult to forget a person? I always feel that love is a rich man's game, like myself who works hard day and night every day, repays loans, pays off mortgages, how can I have time to carry out this kind of heartbreaking luxury game!

"I'll bring a friend over for a drink tonight, leave me a seat at the bar, I'll have a casual chat with him, you can help me listen to it then, see how this person is, I think this person is okay, I can handle it!" Grace winked at Junko with a peach blossom face, and Junko nodded vigorously, this is the first time Grace said that she has taken a fancy to someone, and she can be favored by such an arrogant daughter, so what kind of young talent does this person have to be. Junzi secretly imagined the appearance of this person, a little looking forward to it, you must know that Grace is a well-known eldest lady's temper, and after every blind date, she will run to Junzi to complain, and she feels that she has no connotation, and she feels that she has no connotation in her belly, and she thinks that she is talking too much, and the younger ones are empty-minded and don't understand anything, and the older ones are too greasy and philistine. Such a high-minded Bai Fumei is obedient to Shunzi for some reason, and he is obedient to him.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, it is the time for the bar to enter the guests one after another, and within half an hour, the seats in the store are already full of customers, and reservations are not accepted on Friday and Saturday nights, because the bar is full every weekend, and it is impossible to reserve a place for guests, only old customers like Grace greet Junzi in advance, and Junzi will leave a place, and Junko left two high stools for Grace in an inconspicuous place near the warehouse at the bar tonight. After 9 o'clock, Grace has not yet entered the door has stretched out her hand to the bar in the bar to say hello, tonight the bar is too busy, Shunzi stayed in the bar to help the bar manager Eric, the outfield is a manager named Vivian is in charge, the cash register is also on the bar side, Shunzi also has to take care of the cashier's work, these two days the cashier went back to his hometown of Yancheng, Jiangsu Province to do a happy event for his son, Shunzi himself became a cashier.

I saw Grace, who was dressed in a light blue floral dress and had a delicate makeup face, carefully squeezed through the crowded crowd in front of the bar, and came to Junzi step by step, across the bar, Junzi waved her hand, and suddenly Junzi's hand couldn't go down, only to see that Grace came behind with a tall posture and a handsome appearance, comparable to the model who came out of a fashion magazine, the beautiful man at the door of the coffee shop!
