Chapter 40: She and Him Only Talk About Reality
Christmas celebrations have finally arrived.
On this day, the traffic of the South Shore Plaza ushered in a significant peak in the square, and the atmosphere was full of joy, and every store was full of tricks to attract customers.
Most of the people who come and go are young people who pay attention to quality and atmosphere, which makes many, many exquisite and stylish small shops very popular!
Many young ladies were still very interested in this kind of small shop with drinks and gifts, and one of the sisters ordered a few signature drinks at once, and bought a variety of flowers and floral gifts.
Jia Yi was busy from downstairs to upstairs, serving as a store manager, waiter and even a delivery person, and experienced various roles from day to night. When she was so busy that she didn't even have time to drink saliva, Xiaoya suddenly "disappeared".
Maybe Xiaoya may be with Sheng Fuyang, after all, she is a young girl, Jia Yi didn't have the heart to care so much, after making a few calls in a row and no one responded, she didn't pay attention to it anymore, she still went into battle in person, busy from the store to the outside of the store.
Late at night, there were fewer customers in the mall, and even Yuanyuan, who was helping out, was picked up by Fang Quan, who stayed alone on the first floor of the store, accounting for the day's accounts.
Suddenly, a person came in at the door, Jia Yi habitually thought it was a guest, and just wanted to squeeze out a standard service smile from his tired face, and when he opened his mouth to say "Welcome", he only saw Gao Qu.
She was stunned for a moment, but Gao Qu smiled and said, "What, I'm not welcome?" β
Jia Yi was no longer surprised by Gao Qu's appearance, not to mention that he was now a "shareholder" of this store, but the moment she saw him appear, her heart still tightened suddenly, and her eyes moved slightly to the right side of his face, and the shallow bruise was no longer visible.
Gao Qu snapped his fingers in front of her eyes, pointed to the menu card above and said, "Rose Dew." β
Jia Yi came back to her senses, she turned around in a panic, and began to make drinks on the kitchen counter, "The injury on your face has healed a lot." She asked cautiously.
"Of course, I'll listen to your advice!"
"You really got a girlfriend?!" Jia Yi turned around in surprise and looked at him and asked.
"Why, you seem nervous?" He chuckled.
"What do you think! I was just surprised that you would really listen to such a build. She blushed and turned away.
"Originally, I didn't have much strictness, it would be nice to have more emollients on my face in winter, and I really have to thank you to be honest!"
"You don't have to thank me, because I know where this bruise came about......" she said with her back to him.
He also chuckled softly and said, "No need to add sugar." β
Because there was a faint burst of ambiguous sweetness in his heart, he looked at her back and said, "You are tired after a busy day." β
"How can you make a lot of money if you're not tired?" Jia Yi dotted a few fresh roses on the rim of the cup and handed him the finished rose dew.
"Are you short of money? I've heard people say that opening this kind of stylish store is often for a feeling, how can you say that it is to make money? β
"What about me is different from person to person...... I can only talk to you about making money. β
Regarding opening a store, she chatted with Qiao Le about her dreams, talked about her feelings with Mark, and only talked about Gao Qu, she and he only talked about reality.
"You have a very strict prejudice against me, but I have no prejudice against your idea of making a lot of money, after all, dreams and feelings can't be eaten."
"Dreams and feelings are used to cultivate sentiments, of course, they can't be eaten, just by what you just said, it turns out that my judgment of you is not prejudiced."
"Do you ...... Do you really think I'm vulgar too? His voice suddenly went low.
"How can there be a second person who thinks the same way as me?" She was intrigued by the "also" in his words.
Gao Qu snorted, didn't speak, just picked up the cup and drank a soft drink like a drink.
"Oh...... It can't be Dr. Luo Tingluo, right? Jia Yi took the opportunity to tease him.
He still didn't respond, just put down the cup in his hand, slowly leaned forward, almost to her, and said, "Don't be too curious, be careful-" He narrowed his eyes and laughed evilly, and as he watched her being forced to turn back, he suddenly shouted "boom!!" β
An apple instantly appeared in his hand, fiery red, right in front of Jia Yi.
Gao Qu immediately straightened up and said with a smile: "Merry Christmas, it should have been given yesterday." β
Realizing that he was deliberately joking again, Jia Yi, who was teased, took the apple angrily and stuffed it into his mouth, but he stopped him.
"You're a caterer, why don't you pay so much attention to hygiene?"
"I knew I scared you hahaha......"
Gao Qu knew that he was "counterattacked" but he was not angry, he only took the apple and walked to the back of the bar, cleaning, Jia Yi was still lying on the bar and said with a smile: "As long as you make a little trick, you will take the bait, and it is easiest to hide your thoughts between actions." β
She took the apple that Gao Qu had washed and wiped clean, and in front of him, she opened her mouth wide and took a bite, her face full of pride.
It's just that they don't know that there is a man standing not far from the store, a man they all know well, holding a bouquet of white roses, standing quietly in the corner.
The square is surrounded by festive fireworks, noisy crowds, and the sound of announcements of merchants' promotions.
- And Mark, who was standing quietly outside the door at this time.
However, Jia Yi and Gao Qu were not allowed to do this, they were only immersed in the conversation and laughter of the two of them.
Mark hesitated outside the window, hesitating to go in.
He couldn't bear to spoil the picture in front of him - Jia Yi and Gao Qu were smiling unscrupulously in the store, and the light sorrow that had been coiling on her face was hard to find at the moment, only an undisguised smile, faded away from restraint, without deliberateness, letting go of all shyness and sensitivity.
She could have grimaced, rolled her eyes, and crooked herself at every turn for a little trick that succeeded.
At one point, however, Mark coveted her melancholy, fragile, red-glowing face, when she recounted her feelings, when she rode the bike, when she walked through the streets of Nanbin, and when she sat in his car and cried secrets that night......
They had seen so many beautiful views of the South Shore together, but he never seemed to have seen her face in its entirety, at least the one she was now facing Gao Quβit was strange to him.
Mark didn't go in after all, he stared at the night sky for a long time, then looked down at the watch in his hand, and said to himself, "It's time to get up over there." β
He sighed, cautiously put the white rose in his hand on the stone chair outside the store, took out a small pink card from the flowers, stuffed it into the pocket of his coat with his hands, and walked along the streets of New Nanhama, facing the cold wind and going against the flow of people, alone, and left.
