At noon, the store manager came to the store and called Ruoqing, who was counting the goods, to the cash register. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That, Xiaoyan, Ruoqing, Ah Liang suddenly had something at home tonight, which of the two of you will take his shift at night?"

Ruoqing and Xiaoyan looked at each other.

"Store manager, I also have something at home, maybe ......"

The store manager frowned, "Oh, how can this be good." As he spoke, he looked at Ruoqing.

"Store manager, why don't I talk to my family?"

The store manager was a little embarrassed and hesitated, "Eh, that's not okay, it's not okay, it's important to have something at home." ”

Ruoqing turned to look at Xiaoyan with an innocent face - what could be going on in her family, how could a girl who is usually so arrogant come to this at a critical moment.

Xiao Yan hurriedly avoided Ruoqing's eyes and lowered his head to tidy up the cash register.

Ruoqing had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and said to the store manager: "Then I'll come, I'm okay anyway." ”

The store manager's frowning brows just now unfolded suddenly, and his eyebrows smiled, "Oh, Ruoqing, thank you so much, I won't be on duty until 2 o'clock today, I'll close at ten o'clock, OK?"

"Ok, store manager. ”

The store manager nodded in satisfaction, looked around the shelves for a week, and left.

Ruoqing was helpless in her heart, she was on duty until the middle of the night, and Shen Jiawei was not there, she was still very scared in her heart. I had no choice but to turn around and tidy up the shelves.

"Oops, my parents told me yesterday that I was going to come home early today, saying that my brother brought his girlfriend home. Xiao Yan laughed awkwardly, obviously trying to defend himself.

Ruoqing shook his head silently, revealing an indifferent smile.

"Very good, doesn't this mean that you are about to have a sister-in-law? ”

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to explain and resolve the embarrassment, but in exchange for such a good invitation, Xiaoyan was overjoyed.

"Really? Ruoqing, thank you! Thank you so much, you are such a good person!"

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture, look at how exaggerated you are. ”

"No, I was supposed to be on duty with you, so I'm a little sorry for you, by the way, your boyfriend will come to pick you up, right?"

Speaking of Ruoqing's boyfriend, Xiaoyan's tone was more active.

Ruoqing's work in his hand paused, and he stretched out his head to look at Xiao Yan.

"He's not coming. ”

"He's not coming......"

Xiaoyan was like a deflated ball, his face full of regret.

"Did you quarrel?"

Ruoqing had already walked to Xiao Yan at the cash register, and smiled at Xiao Yan with a sideways face.

"Not really. Look at your nymphomaniac look, hooked on that guy?"

Xiao Yan's face turned red after a while, and he looked at Ruoqing's face and quickly lowered it.

"What, what are you talking about, don't make fun of me, okay, it's really ......"

Ruoqing laughed.

"Kidding you. ”

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at Ruoqing's back and sighed luckily.

Xiao Ruo also has a heart, try to let Ruoqing rest, and Ruoqing slept in the warehouse for a while at noon. The two of them were busy, and they were also talking about some interesting things in their respective schools, and the strangeness they had at the beginning of their acquaintance gradually disappeared.

It turned out that Xiaoyan was a native of Guangzhou, but because her mother was not in good health, she had to run to the hospital all the year round, and the expenses were not small, and the family gradually became no longer rich. The elder brother is an introverted man, who is inactive and honest, and was deceived by his own worship brother when he first started business. finally found a girlfriend, and the family was very happy. In order to reduce the burden on the family, Xiaoyan will come out to work during the winter and summer vacations, and usually do some short-term part-time jobs such as distributing leaflets at school, and she is a positive and optimistic girl.

Before he knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, Ruoqing looked up at the time, and walked into the cash register with a cup of instant noodles.

"Come, you get off work, change me. ”

"Is it really possible? Ruoqing?"

"You only have one chance, can you go?"

Ruoqing arrogantly gave an order to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan hugged Ruoqing happily.

"Thank you so much! I'm leaving!" he said, took off his work clothes, picked up the bag he had already packed, and rushed away.

Ruoqing shook her head helplessly, tore open the instant noodle cup, squeezed the seasoning, and rushed to the hot boiling water, and the white gas of the boiling water jumped up and hit her face.

While waiting for the instant noodles, several customers came one after another to buy some simple drinks.

Ruoqing was a little tired, felt a slight pain in his waist, and his face was dark and gloomy, but he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile and send the guests away. When she turned around and opened the lid of the instant noodles, she found that the instant noodles had risen.

She sits in a chair with her head down and stirs the instant noodles with a fork to make them taste more even. One bite, one bite, the instant noodles made a refreshing sound, and she felt a little more strength regained. From time to time, she flicked her bangs and combed them back as far back as possible so as not to affect her noodle eating.

It was only a few hours before she began to miss the porridge made by Shen Jiawei. The kind of ordinary food with the smell of home and full of love, the softness that is most likely to touch people's hearts, makes people feel the warmth of the primitive essence that the body craves.

Dudu - the phone rang, it was Shen Jiawei.

The so-called tacit understanding of love is probably that when you think about this person, he will appear in front of you.

Ruoqing picked up the phone with a smile on his face.

Shen Jiawei on the other end of the phone didn't wait for Ruoqing to speak, and said cracklingly.

"Did you go to dinner after work? Go back immediately after dinner, don't wander around. ”

In the face of Shen Jiawei's justified order, Ruoqing's heart was warm.

"Ah Liang can't come to the night because of something, I take his shift, and I have to work until 10 o'clock today. ”

"Ten o'clock? What's going on! Why is your store manager like this, letting you stay so late as a girl, no! This is absolutely not good, I'll go over and accompany you!"

"Ah! Shen Jiawei, I'll tell you! Don't mess around, I'm fine, it's only ten o'clock, isn't it early? Don't worry, I'll take a taxi back as soon as I close at ten o'clock, okay!"

Shen Jiawei looked very anxious.

"No, no, I'll go now. ”

"Shen Jiawei, don't mess around! Train hard! We'll be over when you come!"

Ruoqing didn't know how he could say such a thing, so he was startled, and immediately softened his tone.

"I know you're worried about me, but it's only ten o'clock, don't make a fuss, I'll report to you the whole process after work, okay?"

"You're really, I'm in a hurry, okay, okay, remember to report!" Sometimes Ruoqing is very tough, and Shen Jiawei has no choice but to follow her.

"Eh, how's your training?"

"Are you eating instant noodles?"

"Well, how do you know?"

"Really, I don't know how to take care of myself, how can I eat instant noodles when I'm so tired!"

"I feel sorry for me, so wouldn't it be good if you made me something delicious later. ”

……

"The coach called me, call you later, you remember to report!"

"Got it, let's go!"

After hanging up Shen Jiawei's phone, the instant noodles had already been eaten, Ruoqing felt thirsty and was about to reach out for water, and a bottle of water was handed over. She looked up and saw that it was Li Che.

Surprised, puzzled.

"Oh, thanks. After taking the water, the bottle cap has been intimately unscrewed, and Ruoqing's heart is soft.

Li Che still held a warm smile that Ruoqing hated and liked in his heart.

"Why are you here?"

"After training, I just happened to pass by, came to see you, and it happened that you were talking to that guy on the phone, oh, sorry, I said the wrong thing again. ”

Ruoqing paused for a moment, "Oh, it's okay, thank you for the water." ”

"It's okay, by the way, what time do you get off work?"

"Ten o'clock. ”

"It's not safe for girls to be so late, I'll wait for you. ”

"You're crazy, what are you waiting for me, no, I'm not a high school student. ”

"In my eyes, you will always be that little Ruo. ”

Ruoqing avoided his gaze and laughed awkwardly.

"Haha, yes...... Are you really waiting for me?"

"Didn't you call and say that you don't need Shen Jiawei to pick you up from work, then I should be okay with waiting, right?"

"Okay, then you can wait, but I might be too busy to talk to you......"

"I'll just sit at the door and wait, you're busy. With that, he went to the door and sat down.

Ruoqing tried to keep himself from looking at him and not thinking too much.

――I was a little scared to go back alone at night, and it was better to have someone to send than to myself.

Ruoqing comforted herself with such thoughts, and suppressed the softness and true self in her heart. From the chance encounter in the morning, Li Che's arrival actually made her very uneasy, she prayed countless times in her heart not to get close to herself, not to get close to herself, but when she really faced his familiar smiling face, her heart began to stir again.

What makes her even more uneasy is that she has slowly become accustomed to and relies on Shen Jiawei, but when facing Li Che, she will hold a throbbing that she shouldn't have, and she resists and reverses this throbbing in her heart, and these contradictory emotions make her angry with herself.

At this time, two male customers came in to the convenience store.

They were wearing simple sweatshirts, floral pants, a cigarette in their mouths, hippie smiles, and held a box of condoms to settle the bill.

Ruoqing was about to take the goods, but one of the male customers suddenly reached out and picked up Ruoqing's chin, and smiled at her obscenely, "Pretty girl, alone!"

Ruoqing was so frightened that he immediately took a step back and grabbed the goods.

"Sir, it's 120 in total, cash or membership card?"

Another male customer bared a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled wickedly at Ruoqing.

"Pretty girl, why don't you try this product with us?"

At this time, Li Che didn't pay attention to the store, and the cool breeze was blowing outside.

Ruoqing took another step back, wanting to reach for the equipment that could protect him.

"Sir, please be respectful, we have surveillance here, may I ask for cash or membership card?"

The male customer was obviously a repeat offender, and he began to laugh even more wildly when he heard the word surveillance.

"Could it be that the pretty girl wants to experience your products with us brothers under this lens?"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Ruoqing's shoulder.

"Ahh

Ruoqing screamed loudly, picked up the nearest gift, the glass, and pointed it at the man.

Li Che only discovered the situation in the store when he heard Ruoqing's scream, he rushed in, and punched him before the man could react.

"Pretty boy, don't meddle with things!" another man glared at Li Che.

Li Che grabbed his fist and punched the man again.

The two men were furious, got up from the ground, and joined forces to push Li Che to the ground and beat him violently.

- Ahhh

Ruoqing raised the glass in his hand and smashed it at a man, who quickly collapsed, and blood quickly left on his head.
