In the face of Xiao Ai's questioning, I was a little confused, and after secretly thinking about the reason why she turned her face because of my like, I finally replied: "I just think your idea of becoming an immortal is good, and there is no meaning of schadenfreude at all." ”

"It's amazing to have a girlfriend, it's like it's twenty-five or eighty-thousand."

I couldn't figure out what she was trying to say in her leaping mind, so I sent her a series of question marks.

She didn't reply to my message for a while, and I finally remembered that we met in the mall more than an hour ago, but I only said a few words to her and then went to the bathroom alone.

I smiled helplessly, in fact, even I didn't understand why I thought her presence was air when I was in the mall.

Maybe it's because of Chen Yi, subconsciously I don't want to get too close to other women.

Actually, I am a man who is very content, even if I am with Chen Yi day after day, year after year, I will not feel bored, but it is a pity that in this crowded city, there is a class gap after material measurement, so I want to be comfortable with Chen Yi, it is not as simple as it seems now.

With such a mood, I also posted a circle of friends post later: The wind that can't be blown is like a dagger; Under the sun, the reality of human nature is too dazzling; There is a silent cry in the rain, so let's become an immortal, not to get rid of grains, just to ask for a clean ear"

Within five minutes of this post, Xiao Ai sent me a message: "A good word, can you not change it so non-mainstream"

"I don't think it's non-mainstream, it's just that everyone's purpose of becoming an immortal is different, I'm asking for a clean ear, and you're here to eat Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew."

"It's really good to talk to me, I think you're with Chen Yi and feel too much pressure."

"Sort of, I didn't expect to be together harder than a crush, and I'm going to see her parents tomorrow, as well as that big family of relatives."

"Hahahaha thought you were a man who could be born and die for love, but it turned out that you were so cowardly, so unheroic"

I stared at this message for a long time, but I couldn't give myself any strength as a hero, but I just replied: "What do you know about a little girl, love is originally satisfying on the one hand, and cruel on the other." ”

"I don't know what you mean by being satisfied on the one hand and cruel on the other, I just know that the most important thing is for two people to be happy together. If love becomes a burden in the end, then what is the purpose of being together in the first place?"

I suddenly couldn't find an outlet in Xiao Ai's sharp question, so I didn't reply for a long time, and finally simply didn't care about those messy emotions, just thought about Chen Yi's gentleness in my brain over and over again, and then told myself: I love her very much, I really love her, I shouldn't care too much about the oil-stained rumors in the secular world, I should be like a lonely but brave lighthouse to warm Chen Yi's world with light and heat, and when there is light in her world, my world will not be too dark. Because we hold hands and want a love that can be transformed into marriage.

The next day, I went to the "Mood Coffee Shop" that Yu Ya transferred to me for free, and the manager of the store had been notified by Yu Ya that she did not have much objection to me taking over the coffee shop, but just reminded me that last month's salary should be paid, and then handed me a financial bill and more than 18,000 yuan after deducting daily operating costs.

I asked for a cup of coffee, and then I looked at the financial bill, as far as last month is concerned, this "mood coffee shop" is profitable, but it is only a small profit, because from the 18,000 yuan after deducting the basic salary and performance commission of the three clerks, there is only 5,000 yuan left, and this 5,000 yuan is the net profit of the coffee shop last month.

After checking the financial bills again and making sure that there were no problems, I called Zhang Xiaoya, the store manager and barista, and then paid her basic salary and 7,000 yuan including performance commission, and then the two waiters paid 3,000 yuan each.

At this time, the store was very idle, and Zhang Xiaoya, who received her salary, sat opposite me and chatted with me about the daily operation of the coffee shop, and soon it was time for lunch, she finally asked me: "Boss, Sister Yu Ya, why did she suddenly transfer this shop to you to operate, I have always felt that she has a lot of feelings for this coffee shop, although she doesn't come back often, but as long as she comes back, she will stay alone in the coffee shop for a long time." ”

Of course, I knew that Yu Ya or Su Han opened this coffee shop to commemorate the past between her and Qiao Ye, but these grievances were not easy to talk to others, so I replied: "She is due to some personal reasons, and the bar in Lijiang is too busy, and I really don't have the energy to take care of it here." ”

"But I've been taking care of this coffee shop all the time, and she basically doesn't spend any energy."

I smiled and replied, "I can tell, you are repulsive to my new boss."

"Uh, no, it's just that I remember that I won't be able to see Sister Yu Ya in the future, and I don't feel very good, you often came to the coffee shop to consume before, and we are very familiar with each other, so there is really no rejection of you."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoya say this, I didn't feel very good in my heart, and I knew that Yu Ya would not return to Nanjing. She was right, since she took the 2 million breakup fee, the former Su Han has died, at this time, she just wants to leave Su Han's purity in Qiao Ye's memory, and she doesn't want to use Yu Ya's identity to tear out the past that has been settled.

I finally said to Zhang Xiaoya: "Although she won't come to Nanjing, but if we have the opportunity, we can go to Lijiang to find her, and now there are still four months before the New Year, let's all work together to achieve a turnover of 180,000 yuan before the New Year, and travel to Lijiang is even if it is the year-end benefits for everyone in the store, and all expenses are counted in the store." ”

Zhang Xiaoya smiled, and then replied: "Boss, I'll tell you the truth, it's difficult to achieve a turnover of 180,000 before the Chinese New Year, and the rational range should be between 100,000 and 130,000, unless you have a new profit model."

"Don't worry, since I took over Mood Coffee, I will definitely make a change."

"Come on boss, I hope you can replace Sister Yu Ya to carry forward the mood coffee shop"

I nodded, and then cheered myself up in my heart, I should give this "mood coffee shop" enough confidence, at least now it is still profitable, although it is far from what I expected, but how can there be a real cheap in the world to pick up for myself, so this small "mood coffee shop" requires me to pay for the effort is by no means one or two, and from the principle of being a man, I still have to give Yu Ya some profit sharing at the right time, how can I really ask for this coffee shop in vain

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, I hurriedly returned home, changed into the decent clothes that Chen Yi accompanied me to the mall to buy last night, and then drove Xiao Ai's Mercedes-Benz car that had not been returned to the airport.

I admit that I shouldn't have driven this car, and the right choice was to drive Chen Yi's A4, but there was always an eagerness to not depend on Chen Yi materially, which prompted me to do this particularly unseemly thing in my own eyes. And this is the first time I have become so good-looking, I feel very awkward, and I even want to change back to Chen Yi's car halfway, but after all, the car has been driven on the road by myself, and it has been driven far away.

In order to be able to get to the airport early, I chose a relatively close road, but I didn't want to encounter a serious traffic jam at half past four.

I couldn't move forward or backward, so I was stuck in the road, and at first I didn't care too much because I had more time, but as time went on, I became more and more nervous

I finally called Chen Yi, who was filming exterior scenes in Haimen, but she didn't answer, maybe she was still working, but I didn't know the phone number of her parents, so I became even more anxious, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were only ten minutes left before Chen Yi's parents got off the plane.

I turned on the real-time navigation, and I realized that there was a serious rear-end collision ahead, which had taken up most of the main road, and the traffic was passing very slowly, and I was about two kilometers away from the accident site, which meant that I needed to stop on this road for at least an hour.

Looking at the densely jammed cars in front of me and the approaching night, I was depressed and lay on the steering wheel, I never dreamed that I would encounter such trouble when I should be courteous in front of Chen Yi's parents. I don't dare to think about what Chen Yi's parents, who have been tired of traveling, will feel when they can't wait for a long time at the airport to pick them up.

I lowered the window and lit a cigarette in annoyance, and at this time the mobile phone finally rang, I reflexively picked it up from the side of the car seat, and found that it was Chen Yi calling, so I hurriedly connected it.

Without waiting for Chen Yi to speak, I said to her: "You hurry up and call your parents, I have encountered a traffic jam on the road here, and I can't get out for an hour, I'm sorry, see if you can let them take a taxi to go back first."

Chen Yi on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying to me: "My mother just called me, and it was Qiu Zi'an who went to pick her and my dad up, and now they have arrived home, and they are ready to go to the hotel I booked after resting for a while." ”

I suddenly felt very blocked in my heart, and after taking a deep puff of cigarette, I finally asked Chen Yi in a cold voice: "How does Qiu Zi'an know that your parents are back?"

"Maybe you saw the Moments news I posted last night."

I didn't know what to say, I just took a deep breath and my mind got bigger and bigger

Chen Yi said to me again: "You can find a place to turn around and come back quickly, I will also go to Nanjing soon, and we will meet directly at the hotel later." ”

After another silence, I replied to Chen Yi: "I won't go, your parents will definitely think that I Jiangqiao is unreliable at this time, and I can't do such a small thing as connecting people." ”

"It's just a special case, and they'll understand it if you make it clear to them."

Thinking of Qiu Zi'an, I felt irritable inexplicably, and the tone of my voice couldn't help but become heavy: "Chen Yi, can you think about it from my point of view, I don't know how to express it, but I will go to the hotel later, what is the situation, you won't be unexpected, I don't want to be the target of public criticism in front of your family, let alone compare with him Qiu Zi'an, I think he went to pick up your parents was premeditated, he knows where my weaknesses are"

"Can you not be like this, we are in love, not going through a war, what is premeditated Zi'an He is not that kind of person"

Hearing Chen Yi's defense for Qiu Zi'an, I was even more irritable, and I said angrily: "If you still don't think about it from my point of view, I don't think there is any need to talk about it, so be it."

I didn't give Chen Yi a chance to speak again, I hung up the phone the next moment, and then pressed the cigarette out in the ashtray heavily, but my heart was throbbing, looking at everything in front of me was abstract, I didn't know what to do in the next moment, I only felt that my heart was getting more and more painful, and my breathing was getting heavier and heavier
