Chapter 38 [Thursday Night Business]
When she got home in the middle of the night, Chen Xiao saw her curled up on the sofa in the living room, already asleep. Thinking of the glamorous "dry cleaning" the night before, Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly......
It's not that he's being a hypocrisy. It's just that he's not the kind of man who only thinks with his lower body. In terms of men and women, Chen Xiao still prefers to be emotionally oriented, rather than meaty.
Besides, she is still a minor, a fifteen-year-old girl, her thinking is like a blank sheet of paper, she doesn't understand anything, and she really feels guilty if she takes advantage of her.
Chen Xiao put her things away and carried her from the sofa in the living room into the room, she woke up when she was picked up by Chen Xiao, just glanced at Chen Xiao, and said in a daze: "Are you back......?"
He hooked Chen Xiao's neck with Bai Shengsheng's arm and fell asleep.
Looking at the girl curled up like a cat in his arms, Chen Xiao said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved, but after all, he was not a beast, and put the girl back on the bed in the room. Then I ran out to change clothes and take a shower.
When Chen Xiao woke up the next morning, she found that she didn't know when she ran to her bed again, still sleeping there quietly with her head resting on her shoulder like the night before.
Chen Xiao sighed...... Alas, it seems that she had to think about how to teach her the concept of "the difference between men and women".
Otherwise, although there is a beautiful little girl warming the bed, the fragrance is extremely fragrant, but in this case, sleeping every day becomes a test for me, and it is not good to have a battle between heaven and man every night.
It's just the person who tested me...... Chen Xiao muttered - in case he couldn't help it that day, the beast was a big deal......
Speaking of which, she is indeed very cute, especially the kind of innocence that is extremely simple and incomprehensible to the world, which can arouse Chen Xiao's pity even more - but that's all. Chen Xiao is still more interested in the relationship between men and women, and a girl like Yan Yan has a brain like a blank piece of paper, and it is really difficult to communicate with herself. Although the delicate figure of the green chūn can tug at his heartstrings, he ...... After all, people don't only know how to mate like animals.
Thinking of these, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think of the girl named Phoenix - he had to admit that Phoenix was probably the only girl who made his heart flutter so far. Although I only met once, but that day in the coffee shop, a few short words of ridicule between the two made Chen Xiao feel very comfortable, the affinity of the phoenix, and the smile and playful smile that made Chen Xiao unforgettable......
After getting up from the bed gently, Chen Xiao quickly got dressed, she hadn't woken up yet, it seemed that she was particularly sleepy today, Chen Xiao was careful not to alarm her, but stood by the bed and quietly watched her sleeping posture for a while......
Hehe, after all, it's a man, and the wonderful scene of the little beauty falling asleep is still very eye-catching. I read books
But then walked out of the bedroom, Chen Xiao casually took out his pocket and touched something - the envelope that Sister Lu gave herself, which was filled with money.
I opened it and looked at it, and the money was indeed not much, only three thousand. However, for the fact that he only took one class, three thousand was already a high number. Sister Lu said very clearly, she was grateful to herself for saving her, and her family had suddenly undergone a huge change, and she couldn't come up with any money. Although their family is very wealthy, the man eats, drinks, gambles, and is about to divorce and divide his property, so he is probably also very nervous.
Chen Xiao thought about it, but there was another problem in front of him: the source of life!
Originally, Chen Xiao resigned from the fast food restaurant because he planned to support himself with this tutor job. But now the job of a tutor is lost, and there is one more person in the family to eat. Although the salary of a coffee shop is not low either...... But there's no money in the store! If Chen Xiao is cheeky and black-hearted, he will take those gold and diamonds that Old Man Edward put in the safe—he is not that kind of person.
"It's decided, skip class today!" Chen Xiao stretched hard: "Skip class!" Go sell gold! Otherwise, I would really have to drink the northwest wind! Besides, the old man Edward was on the phone last night and treated him to sell it, so he didn't have to worry about it. ”
Chen Xiao had a good reason, quickly made a breakfast, left a note for Ya Ling, told her that she would come back very late tonight, and then took a travel bag on her shoulders and went out in a hurry.
Since there is nothing to do today, the first thing Chen Xiao does when he goes out is to run to the bank gate in the city to find his bicycle. As a result, it was not what Chen Xiao expected: the car was gone.
Although he lost the car, Chen Xiao had already been mentally prepared, and he was relieved after being depressed for a while. Then take the subway to the coffee shop.
The street still looked like a ghost movie - the sun was shining at nine o'clock in the morning, but there were still no shops open on the huge pedestrian street. Chen Xiao walked all the way, only to see two or three municipal cleaners sweeping the road, quickly went to the coffee shop, and took a gold brick from the safe upstairs.
For a whole morning, Chen Xiao went to the jewelry street in K City and walked around several gold shops. I sold a gold brick and got more than 200,000 yuan in cash, and I put it in the backpack I was carrying, and I only came out of it, remembering that day when Phoenix came to the coffee shop, a huge coffee shop, there was not even a little food except coffee...... What does this look like?
Anyway, Chen Xiao also worked in the catering industry, and simply went to a large warehouse supermarket to purchase a batch of ingredients, and picked up seven or eight large bags before returning to the coffee shop.
He spent the afternoon sweeping the coffee shop - it was Thursday, and old man Edward sternly told himself that he must be open tonight, thinking that there would be some important guests tonight.
Since he has done this job, Chen Xiao is a responsible person, and he will not be passive and slack off because the boss is not there.
After everything was done, Chen Xiao sat behind the counter, the afternoon sun shone into the coffee shop hall through the huge rows of floor-to-ceiling windows, which made people can't help but have a warm sense of serenity......
It's a pity that Chen Xiao was disappointed, and the phoenix did not appear again until the twilight came.
In addition, it once again confirmed Chen Xiao's other speculation: the business of this coffee shop is really miserable! For a whole day, there was not even a single guest...... On the empty pedestrian street outside, Chen Xiao carefully calculated that from noon to night, there were only three people who came to the door, one was to sell tableware, one was to sell encyclopedias, and the other was to sell insurance......
It's not surprising that on such an unfinished pedestrian street, and on the edge of the city, who would have nothing to do here to shop?
Opening a coffee shop in such a place is clearly a loss-making business, and if it is a normal person, it will be closed in less than a month. That's how old man Edward would do that.
Thinking of the huge wealth in the safe in the upstairs room, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh: I think that the old man Edward didn't expect to open this store to make money by opening this shop. Even if it is a loss for decades, he can afford to lose.
Well, the service agency, sure enough, are some abnormal guys.
When she was bored in the afternoon, Chen Xiao even thought about simply bringing her to accompany her, which was better than being alone here in a daze.
Originally, I wanted to read books to pass the time, but who knows, the pile of books left by the old man Edward under the counter, Chen Xiao rolled aside, and rolled his eyes.
"Golden Vase Plum", "**", "Lamp Grass Monk", ...... Smooth? There is actually an unabridged version of "The Legend of the Dragon Warrior", as well as "The Chronicles of Alibuda"??
"I'm still looking at these things at such an age, and I'm not afraid of bursting blood vessels." Chen Xiao looked at the pile in front of him with a smile and shook his head helplessly: "Edward, this old man's preferences are really strong." ”
・
Finally, when it was time for dinner, the first customer walked in.
The first guest who came in was a middle-aged uncle, wearing a dirty blue-collar worker's work clothes, and there were some oil stains on his body.
"Welcome." Chen Xiao immediately walked out: "Please sit casually, what do you want to drink?" ”
"You are Chen Xiao?" The middle-aged uncle smiled very peacefully, he had a beard, dark skin, a strong figure, and a square face, he looked like a mature and steady uncle, but those eyes were very gentle, I think he was a very good-tempered person.
Chen Xiao was slightly surprised: "You know me?" ”
"Well, I know Lao Ai has invited a new person here." The middle-aged man smiled: "Oh, I am the owner of the car repair shop at the intersection of this street, and everyone calls me Uncle Tian." ”
"It turned out to be a neighbor." Chen Xiao smiled politely, but there was a slight strangeness in his heart: In such a remote place to open a car repair yard, isn't this Uncle Tian a normal person?
Really......
"Every Thursday is an important rì, you're a newcomer, I don't know the situation, I'm worried that you won't be able to deal with it, so come over and take a look, maybe there's something I can help with." Uncle Tian smiled very friendly, and there was some faint concern in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xiao.
"Are you ......" Chen Xiao hesitated: "You are also a member of the 'Service Society'?" ”
"It used to be, but now it's all retired." Uncle Tian replied very simply, and he didn't mean to hide it at all.
Another Adept......
Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Uncle Tian twice, but the other party didn't mind at all, and smiled very friendly.
Chen Xiao made him a cup of tea, and then chatted with him casually, this middle-aged uncle has a very good temper and is also very talkative, and seems to have traveled a lot of places, as if he has been to many countries, the two chatted for a while, Chen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally wanted to inquire about some things about the service club, but the other party did not move and diverted the topic, and seemed unwilling to say more.
Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, and when the clock struck seven, Uncle Tian's expression was obviously more serious. He closed his mouth and fell silent—a change that made Chen Xiao's heart move.
Ding dong......
The door to the café was pushed open.
