Ye Xiaojing hesitated, there are not many pastries she can make at all, if she learns now, it is more likely that she will continue to be deducted if she does not do well, and it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

Could it be that she could only give up that month's salary?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Cheng Qixin, only to see that the other party was casually looking at the murals on the wall, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Somehow, this leisurely state suddenly stimulated Ye Xiaojing, and she was still hesitant just now, and she immediately made up her mind: "I agree!" ”

"Are you sure?" Ye Xiaojing's sudden determined expression made Cheng Qixin's eyes flash with surprise.

"In this world, nothing is impossible and can't be done, just because you haven't worked hard enough." Gently reciting this sentence, Ye Xiaojing looked at him and said, "This sentence was said to me by the young master just now, as long as I put in a little more effort, I believe I can do it!" ”

"Very good, I hope your next performance will not disappoint me!" Lowering his head casually, hiding the look of praise in his eyes, Cheng Qixin said in a flat tone.

After getting off work the next day, Ye Xiaojing followed yesterday's memories and came to the "Meimei Pastry House" again.

The hall is brightly lit, and as soon as you step through the door, you will be greeted by an enticing scent that makes you inhale deeply.

It may be a little late, there are no other customers in the store, and behind the cash register, there is only a young woman busy with her back to the door.

"Excuse me, is Xu Dawei here?"

The woman turned around when she heard the sound, and when she saw Ye Xiaojing, she was obviously stunned for a moment.

At this time, Ye Xiaojing also recognized that the young woman behind the cashier was Zhang Zhenmei, Xu Dawei's childhood sweetheart neighbor and Xu's mother's favorite future daughter-in-law.

Ye Xiaojing smiled at her kindly and greeted, "I remember you, I heard Ah Wei say, your name is Zhang Zhenmei, right?" I am a friend of Ah Wei, my name is Ye Xiaojing. ”

Zhang Zhenmei glanced at Ye Xiaojing vigilantly, and asked in an unkind tone: "Xu Dawei is not here now, what are you looking for him?" ”

Ye Xiaojing said: "I have something I want to ask him for help, may I ask when he will come back?" ”

When Zhang Zhenmei heard this, she immediately gave her a blank look: "Please, Ah Wei, he's very busy now, okay?" When the new store opened, he had to do almost everything by himself, and he was busy from morning to night every day, and even the time for eating and drinking was almost gone! Where will I be free to help you! ”

Zhang Zhenmei's words made Ye Xiaojing very embarrassed, and she smiled reluctantly: "I just want to ask him about some questions about pastries, and I won't disturb him for a lot of time." ”

Zhang Zhenmei replied to her unceremoniously: "Are you mistaken? Do you know how much time Ah Wei spent researching those new varieties of pastries in order to open this store, and you want him to tell you all in one sentence? Why are you like this?! ”

"Miss Zhang, you misunderstood, I just want to ask some very ordinary questions, which won't hinder your business." Ye Xiaojing hurriedly said.

"I don't care what you mean! Anyway, Xu Dawei is not here now, if you don't want to buy something, then it's better to leave and not give it away! Zhang Zhenmei's tone was still very impulsive.

"Miss Zhang, you, did you misunderstand me?" Ye Xiaojing asked tentatively.

When Zhang Zhenmei heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "Did I misunderstand you - you don't care!" ”

Ye Xiaojing smiled good-naturedly and said to her: "I think you may really misunderstand, when I worked with Ah Wei before, he saw that my leg was not good, so he always took care of me, although I left the company later, I have always regarded him as my best friend." Actually, I can understand that it's normal for you, as his girlfriend, to be a little worried about our relationship-"

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Zhenmei had already interrupted her excitedly: "Girlfriend? Who do you say is her girlfriend? You said that on purpose, right? Ye Xiaojing, don't be confused about the situation, even if Xu Dawei likes you? I tell you plainly today, the Xu family will never accept you into the door! ”

"You, aren't you Ah Wei's girlfriend? But Aunt Xu told me that day, you are already with Ah Wei? Zhang Zhenmei's excited appearance made Ye Xiaojing stunned for a moment.

Zhang Zhenmei was stunned when she heard this, and then covered her face with her hands and cried: "Ah Wei, Ah Wei, woo woo-"

"Miss Zhang, what's wrong with you? Don't cry—" Ye Xiaojing didn't understand why she was crying suddenly, and she didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.

Zhang Zhenmei cried and sobbed and said, "Ah Wei, he is ...... Not with me and he said he liked ...... You, he said he was going to marry you, woo - he opened a shop, he wanted to help you...... But I really like him, uh-"

Zhang Zhenmei's words surprised Ye Xiaojing, she didn't expect Xu Dawei to be affectionate to herself, listening to the meaning of Zhang Zhenmei's words, it seems that Xu Dawei even opened this cake shop for himself.

How so?

Ye Xiaojing's heart sank, and for a while, she was both grateful and ashamed of Xu Dawei, but more sad.

Seeing Zhang Zhenmei's crying a little lower, Ye Xiaojing said to her in a solemn tone: "Thank you for telling me so many things I don't know!" Miss Zhang, I'm here to assure you today that I, Ye Xiaojing and Xu Dawei, are really just ordinary friends, and they are—"

Before the words fell, I only heard a "pop", and something suddenly fell to the ground.

Ye Xiaojing and Zhang Zhenmei turned their heads to look when they heard the sound, only to see Xu Dawei standing at the door, and there was an extra box of overturned eggs on the ground, whole or broken eggs scattered on the originally neat white porcelain floor tiles, just like Xu Dawei's desperate mood at the moment.

After a short silence, Ye Xiaojing said softly: "Ah Wei-"

Without the familiar honest smile, in the face of Ye Xiaojing's greeting, Xu Dawei opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything after all. Suddenly, as if fleeing, he turned around and rushed outside.

"Xu Dawei—" Zhang Zhenmei hurriedly shouted.

"It's all you, it's all you—if something happens to Ah Wei, I won't let you go!" After Xu Dawei's figure disappeared, Zhang Zhenmei was so anxious that she cried again.

"Miss Zhang, don't worry, I think Ah Wei is just a little impulsive, I believe he will be fine; You stay here and look at the shop, and I'll go out and look for him. Ye Xiaojing sighed in her heart and comforted her.

"Then why don't you hurry up!" Zhang Zhenmei had no idea now, so she had to urge her anxiously.

After going out, Ye Xiaojing searched around, but did not find Xu Dawei's figure, she continued to search while asking passers-by, and finally found him by the fountain pool in the community park about 200 meters away from the "Meimei West Point House".

Xu Dawei sat on the stone steps at the edge of the pool, his lonely figure looked like a lonely migratory bird, Ye Xiaojing walked up to him and sat down, for a while, neither of them spoke.

The midsummer evening breeze blew gently, taking away the last traces of heat left by the scorching sun of the day, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional word or two of people's voices from afar.

Ye Xiaojing put her hand into the pool and picked up a piece of phoenix petals that fell to the surface of the water out of nowhere, although it had been away from the branches and leaves for a long time, the bright red flower color had not faded in the slightest: "Ah Wei, do you know what the flower language of the phoenix flower is?" ”

"It's parting and longing." Ye Xiaojing said softly.

She looked at the bright red color in her hand and sighed softly, "I often wonder how happy my sister and I would have been if my parents hadn't died so early and my family hadn't lost that money!" It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, and as long as we haven't paid off that debt, my sister and I won't get married—"

"Xiaojing, I can help you, let me help you, okay?" As if grasping a little hope, Xu Dawei said eagerly.

"Ah Wei, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't harm you, I mean it!" Ye Xiaojing said in a low voice.

Xu Dawei said: "Xiaojing, I don't think you are harming me, I really like you!" Xiaojing, you believe me, I will definitely be able to help you pay off the money. ”

"Ah Wei, you-" Ye Xiaojing wanted to speak and stopped.

"Xiaojing, you see, I have opened a cake shop now, and when the business is better, I can open a chain store again, and when the chain stores are opened all over Taiwan, I can also open it to the mainland and other countries, so that I can make a lot of money, right?" Xu Dawei said excitedly.
