Chapter 9: Uncle

The sound of "whooshing" running water, Chen Xiaojian was washing coffee cups and dessert plates. It's almost ten o'clock, and it's almost time to close.

At noon, although Chen Xiaojian recognized Quan Xiaosheng, neither side had a more in-depth exchange.

Before leaving, Quan Xiaosheng asked Chen Xiaojian if he would continue to watch their performance in the afternoon, and Chen Xiaojian said that he would not go.

The morning was relatively short and there were few guests, so I went out and didn't have much impact. But in the afternoon, there are always some individual customers coming, and there are more customers, and if there is no one in the store all the time, it is not good.

And a coffee shop, the owner is also the only staff member, go out twice a day, and always feel that it is not far from closing.

Although the girls have some regrets, they can fully understand Chen Xiaojian. Chen Xiaojian said that he would continue to support them in the future, and the girls also expressed their gratitude to Chen Xiaojian.

There are not many customers who come to the café in the afternoon, but there are a few in twos and threes, and it is not until the evening that there are more customers.

At this time, there are basically no customers in the store. After Chen Xiaojian cleaned up, he was ready to close at any time.

The reason why the door hasn't closed yet, and the reason why I say it's basically none, is because there is still a guest sitting there.

After Chen Xiaojian cleaned up the bar and equipment, he poured himself a glass of water and looked at the place where the guests were sitting.

It's still the same position near the window, or the guests are in a daze. There is still only a cup of coffee in front of him, and the coffee is still untouched.

It's a pity that the person sitting there is not a cute girl Lee Soon-gyu, but an uncle in his thirties.

Chen Xiaojian doesn't have the habit of changing hot coffee and sending desserts to his uncle, not only that, Chen Xiaojian now only hopes that he will check out and leave quickly.

It's so late, don't you have to go back to accompany your wife to coax the children? Or is this a single dog?

Forehead...... Why did I suddenly think of this? And I felt hurt.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaojian hurriedly shook his head and shook those messy things out of his mind.

At this time, the uncle took off the glasses from the bridge of his nose and put them on the table. He rubbed his hands together on his face and leaned back against his chair with his face covered.

Looking at his uncle like this, Chen Xiaojian couldn't help but think of himself in his previous life. At that time, I was also such a person.

Late at night, sitting in an unknown shop, covering my face with my hands like this, I feel that I can escape for a while and rest for a while.

Although Chen Xiaojian didn't know him, at this moment, Chen Xiaojian suddenly felt that he must be very tired. Maybe it's because of family, maybe it's because of work.

It's just that no matter how tired he is, he just wants to bear it alone, so he doesn't go back so late, so he is only alone at such a late hour.

Even if it seems so lonely.

But Chen Xiaojian didn't know why he was in his coffee shop. In Chen Xiaojian's opinion, he should go to the tavern, a plate of side dishes, and a pot of liquor.

Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged uncle, Chen Xiaojian picked up the water cup and took a sip. What would have happened if I hadn't crossed back?

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaojian looked outside the glass door and was stunned. The lights outside make Seoul so bright at night.

Chen Xiaojian's mood suddenly fell a lot, and this feeling made Chen Xiaojian very uncomfortable.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the uncle by the window, he had put his glasses back on, picked up the coffee that was already cold in front of him, and drank it in one go.

When you finish drinking it, you put the cup down and look like you're a completely different person. Where is the tired, melancholy look just now.

The uncle picked up the handbag next to him, stood up, walked to the bar, took out the money from his wallet and handed it to Chen Xiaojian.

Chen Xiaojian took the money, said thank you for coming, and didn't say anything more. He may have been tired and empty just now, but now he doesn't need anyone's encouragement or persuasion.

When he put his glasses back on, all he saw was ahead, waiting only for tomorrow, a real man.

After the uncle left, Chen Xiaojian drank the water in the cup, then cleaned the water cup and coffee cup, and wiped the table clean with a cloth.

After getting these things done, Chen Xiaojian pulled the gate. The lights were turned off and the machines were quiet. Chen Xiaojian walked out of the coffee shop and locked the door.

Walking next to his car, Chen Xiaojian took out a cigarette and lit it. The flame of the cigarette butt flickered in the night, and puffs of smoke spit out of Chen Xiaojian's mouth.

After snuffing out the cigarette butt on the trash can, Chen Xiaojian got into the car and started up, ready to go back.

However, at this time, Chen Xiaojian naturally did not know that two figures appeared at the door of his coffee shop.

"Look, I said I wanted to come early, it's closed now. ”

"It's not like it's been a long time since I've been out shopping, so I forgot the time. Besides, Ernie didn't you have a lot of fun shopping yourself. ”

"I ......"

"Alright, it's useless to say anything now, let's go back first. Anyway, the store is here and we can't run away, so we'll come early next time. ”

"Let's go, let's go. ”

After a conversation, the two left. If Chen Xiaojian saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize one of them as Li Shungui who came to the store last night.

It's not that Chen Xiaojian is so familiar with Li Shungui that he can recognize it by looking at the back, but that the height is a little too "protruding" when he puts it there.

It's a pity that Chen Xiaojian is not here, but is already on the way home.

In the car, Chen Xiaojian held the steering wheel in his hand and drove in the direction of home. Halfway through, Chen Xiaojian suddenly turned the head of the car, and at this moment, Chen Xiaojian didn't really want to go home.

Maybe it's because of that uncle, Chen Xiaojian feels that he is in a bad mood now, and Chen Xiaojian doesn't want to go home at this time. He wanted to blow the wind and find a place to walk.

The places Chen Xiaojian wants to go are very famous in Seoul or South Korea, but it is really because Chen Xiaojian does not know many places, except for those famous places, he does not know other places.

For example, there is a fire on the top of the South Mountain...... No, it's the South Mountain Tower on the top of South Mountain. Another example is the place where Chen Xiaojian is going now, called the Han River Bridge.

Although it is the Han River Bridge, although the Han River can be seen at a glance from the place where Chen Xiaojian lives, it is still a bit far between the two.

Chen Xiaojian drove for a while before arriving near the Hanjiang Bridge, and after finding a place to park the car, Chen Xiaojian walked to the Hanjiang Bridge alone.

When passing by a nearby 24-hour convenience store, Chen Xiaojian went in and bought a cup of American.

The coffee shop manager went to the convenience store to buy coffee, well, a little embarrassed.
