Chapter One
The boss of Yuyuan has been lacking a player recently. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather was fine, and I loved the sun, so I made a cup of black tea, hugged Juan Guwen and sat on the balcony on the second floor to enjoy the sunbathing. The landlord, Mr. Ming, was downstairs in the courtyard, playing mahjong with the players, while discussing the latest news loudly. I had just moved here a few days ago, and I was home unemployed, and I pricked up my ears with interest when I heard them talk about having a job. The old man talked a lot, and after talking bits and pieces for a long time, there was no focus on what I wanted to hear. After listening patiently for a few minutes, I couldn't wait any longer, so I stood up and lay on the fence and shouted to Mr. Ming Lao below.
"Grandpa Ming, where is the Jade Garden, I want to try it."
Mr. Ming paused when he touched the cards, probably because he didn't expect that there was an audience upstairs: "Girl, the work of Yuyuan is all drudgery, and few of our guys here are willing to go, so don't go to a girl's house." ”
"That's right, the owner of the Jade Garden is a notoriously eccentric, and there are no less strange things there." A player sitting next to Mr. Ming, who had white hair and looked like an old birthday star, also spoke out to persuade. However, he may be too old and has lost a few teeth, and his voice is a little funny.
Drudgery? Boss quirky? What is this. I secretly cut in my heart, these old people really still look down on women. But I couldn't say it, so I just smiled and ignored the advice. "Grandpa Ming, as long as it's work, how can it not be bitter? I'm just a newcomer now, and I just want to earn some money for living expenses. Besides, I'm just going to try, and if I really can't do it, I can talk about it. Just help me. ”
"Hey. What are you...... Let's talk about it! "Seeing that I said this, Mr. Ming couldn't refuse directly. After saying this, he shook his hand in annoyance, lowered his head and touched mahjong, and stopped talking to me.
The work there is already so difficult that no one wants to touch? I didn't get a reply, so I had no choice but to sit back a little stupidly.
After a few more days, I didn't see Mr. Ming tell me anything about Yuyuan. I don't know if he forgot because he had a bad memory, or if he thought I forgot and didn't plan to mention it again. On this day, I was in a daze and didn't know what to do, and my phone suddenly sang in my ears.
“…… Hello...... "I was almost scared out of a heart attack, and I smoothed my hair, and it took a long time to hold back two words.
"You're big!" Through the headphones, I can imagine the dignity of the other party gritting his teeth and grinning. This tone, coupled with the highly recognizable Lori voice, confirmed that it was Zhang Yiru.
“…… Art"
"You didn't tell me when you moved to Songling! You! Oh yes! ”
“…… Forehead...... Aren't you going to school, I thought ......"
"Are you so isolated from the world that you are about to ascend to immortality! It's August, and my mother is on summer vacation! ”
“…… My fault ......"
"Hmph...... "The roaring tiger in the earpiece turned tsundere in seconds, "forgive you." Where do you live now? ”
I looked out the window, the weather was semi-cloudy, there was no scorching sun, it was a good time to travel. "I rented a house in Wolf Alley."
"Wolf Alley? How do you rent a house in the old town? Do you know that in the past few years, Songling has built a new city, and the old city has become a semi-no-man's land, and only some old people still live there. ”
"Got it, it's not cheap here."
“…… Forget it, no matter you. I'll look for you later, and we'll go out on the streets. You just wait for me at the mouth of the alley, your place is too remote, you definitely can't even get a taxi. ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Putting down Yiru's phone, I lay back on the bed. I have very few friends. After that incident, after I left school, Yiru was the only one who could still be friends with me without any guilt. Now I am about to turn 20 years old and have been out of school for two years. The high school classmates of the past are now either going to colleges and universities or entering the society, which is no longer a stranger. I remember clearly what Su Beiyu warned me, so I was extremely confused, and I didn't know whether I should continue to keep in touch with Yiru.
My name is Ye Meixin, and two years ago I was an ordinary high school girl with a happy family. There is no major illness, the grades are medium to high, I think I have a good popularity, I have my own small circle and small life, and I am extremely happy when I think about it now. Everything now is because one day two years ago, my eyes suddenly became yin and yang. After that,......
The music started again, and my phone vibrated happily in front of my eyes, pulling me out of the memory. Look at the caller ID, sure enough, it's Yiru.
"Xiao Xinzi, where are you! I've arrived at the mouth of the alley, you hurry down for me! ”
"Oh oh, I'm right away, I'm right away!" I didn't expect Zhang Yiru to arrive so quickly, I was in a hurry, and after hanging up the phone, I hurriedly grabbed a coat and rushed out of the door, even my hair was still unkempt. dared to be late in front of Zhang Yiru's big arrogance, and the consequences were simply miserable.
So when I jumped into the taxi where Zhang Yiru was out of breath, I unsurprisingly received the disgusted eyes of His Royal Highness Yiru, plus a flying comb.
"Shun your hair, otherwise I won't have the face to take you out." Zhang Yiru squinted at me with contemptuous eyes, "Rough men are neater and cleaner than you." ”
Accustomed to her poisonous tongue, I made a surrender form, and then obediently took a comb to smooth my hair. "You should live in the new town, isn't it a long way, why did you get there so quickly?"
"Hmph, how can I be slow ......"
“……”
Back at the mouth of the alley again, it was already dark.
I was almost tired and got out of the car with a large bag and a small bag, and I was also awarded the title of "Five Scumbags of Physical Warfare" given by Zhang Yiru.
"Be careful on the road."
"Uh-huh, you too." Zhang Yiru, who was still in a state of excitement for shopping, held an oversized shopping bag and waved to me in the box full of back seats.
So I stood on the side of the road and watched the taxi leave, and for the nth time in my heart I swore that I would never go shopping with this crazy woman again! Although this oath never worked.
Sighing, I silently took a step back, ready to turn around. However, there was a banging sensation behind him without warning, and at the same time, the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard.
Surprised, he turned around. I saw a young man in a white tunic with a tall figure, slender but not thin, like a bamboo fairy. Of course, under the illumination of the light, I did not miss his frowning brow and the wooden box lying quietly at his feet.
Looks like I'm ruining someone else's business again...... Judging by his angry expression, he shouldn't have hit me, right?
"That...... I'm sorry......" I weakly apologized and reached for the wooden box that had fallen to the ground.
"Smack!"
The other party unceremoniously opened my hand, grabbed the wooden box first, and then left without saying a word before I could react.
Somehow, I was usually blocked and didn't want to find something to endure and endure, and I suddenly felt extremely angry, and shook my hand and yelled at his back: "Hey! Can you be a little polite! It's not my fault for hitting you and causing you to drop something on the ground, but I apologize and I'm ready to pick it up for you. If you don't want me to touch your stuff, you can also say that it's rude to slap someone's hand! ”
I was about to suffocate myself and shouted such a long string of words, but the other party turned the corner of the alley very calmly as if he hadn't heard it, and entered another alley. I felt like I was being laughed at, and I couldn't help but want to get angry. But reason kept telling himself to calm down, and there was no need to be angry about this kind of thing.
Finally, when I reached the mouth of the alley around the corner of the young man, I was finally able to calm down and stop being impulsive.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling calm and strange at the same time at his sudden anger. I've never been an irritable person, and this outburst doesn't look like something I've done. But now I can't figure out why I was so angry.
"Forget it, I don't want to." I shook my head vigorously, as if I could get the inexplicable feelings out of my head.
However, as I was about to leave, I couldn't walk anymore.
Because I saw, under the dim street lamp, in front of me, a shop that looked like it was old was quietly located on the right side of this alley. The sign above the door of the store has two free and easy Chinese characters, gilded and already peeled off, and the mottled appearance is full of the quiet beauty of time precipitation.
Jade Garden.
I found this place by accident.
I remember that moment I didn't breathe. It's like all of you forget to breathe when you see something absolutely beautiful. Of course, I didn't know at that time, but everything that would happen here would unfold here.
