During this time, Jiayi has a lot of things to do: confirm the decoration of the store, contact the manufacturer's delivery machine, customize the counter, prepare the approved quantity of newly ordered curtains, tablecloths and vases, file and settle the payment of various categories of expenses, and apply for various business licenses...... She was determined to get it all done in the past few days, and she was often busy from morning to night, and she didn't even forget to eat.

Gao Qu came to see her a few times, and every time he had to tease her a few words before leaving, and her flawless tricks also made him return in vain every time and leave in a huff.

At this time, look out the window, the night Nanbin has already been lit up, neon lights like a flowery girl, but all of them are wearing the same makeup, enthusiastically and unrestrainedly put their intentions in front of pedestrians. She should also be so beautiful, with heavy makeup, hooking the arms of the person she loves, and starting a leisurely nightlife.

But the reality is that she has been hungry, her face is tired, and the only thing that supports her is the bar under her and a thick ledger, and the newly renovated shop is too simple, and when the weather is cold, the new windows squeak, like pitiful, more like mockery.

She couldn't bear it on an empty stomach, she couldn't hold on, she sighed alone, and remembered Ming Jing's advice that "it's not safe at night", and decided to pack up and go home first, just turned off the light, suddenly, a black figure fell into the door of the store, with the light on his back, Jia Yi couldn't recognize the appearance of the person at all, probably it could be judged to be a man, the appearance was stout, and the figure he saw that night was exactly the same, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly hit, Jia Yi groped for the remaining sticks of the decoration on the wall, and immediately turned on the light again.

When he wanted to scream and rush up, he found that the man looked good-looking, he wore a pair of black-framed eyes, and had a round head, and when he saw Jia Yi walking in front of him with a stick, he immediately covered his face with his hands, and shouted: "Don't worry, I'm next door!" ”

"What?" Jia Yi was surprised, and slowly put the stick down, but still stared at the man vigilantly, after all, it was unfamiliar, and it was such a night with few visitors.

Seeing that Jia Yi didn't mean to attack himself, the man touched the back of his head with his hand and said with a smile: "I'm from the coffee shop next door, you often see that little girl, she is my sister." ”

"Oh-" Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It turned out to be you!" She tossed the guy aside and laughed, "I thought it was some kind of villain!" To put it this way...... The figure I saw the other night was you, right? ”

"It should be, I'll come here at night to pick up my sister home, oh, by the way, my name is Lin Xiao, I've been too busy lately, I haven't had time to say hello."

Jia Yi remembered that his sister said that he was busy with a blind date, and when she saw him in front of her, she suddenly wanted to laugh a little, and the tense nerves just now suddenly relaxed, and she said with a smile: "My name is Jia Yi." ”

"I know, my sister told me."

Suddenly, the hand he touched the back of his head stretched out towards Jia Yi, but she didn't seem to see it, and only said, "Don't you plan to go back yet?" ”

Lin Xiao had no choice but to withdraw his hand and touch himself on his head again, as if the round head was all "touched" by him, and said, "Mingjing went to dinner with friends." ”

"Oh, you're almost home, aren't you?"

He lowered his head and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, or ......?"

Jia Yi knew what he was going to say, and wanted to refuse, but considering that they were neighbors after all, and besides, it was always good to have a care for them when they opened a store together. So she politely waited for him to finish.

"Or ...... Let's go to dinner together? He finally finished speaking.

How can Lin Xiao's courage succeed on a blind date? Jia Yi was anxious for him.

"Okay!" Jia Yi replied cheerfully.

Lin Xiao seemed to have received an unexpected surprise, hurriedly thanked him, and then quickly ran out and said to clean up and close the store.

Jia Yi thought this man was very funny.

Lin Xiao asked Jiayi to eat in a Chinese restaurant that had just opened in Nanbin Plaza, but his purpose seemed to be really just to eat......

Jia Yi was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to let him pick up the food for himself (this is the first time he has experienced this traditional Jia Yi at a dinner table of his age), but fortunately he has a good habit of solving the food in his mouth before speaking.

At the dinner table, Jia Yi learned that Lin Xiao's identity transformation from programmer to coffee shop owner has little to do with feelings, purely because of the sudden death of programmers, various illnesses, and the decline in health quality at the beginning, he gave up his original job because of the sudden death of programmers, various illnesses, and the decline in health quality, and then because of the high monthly salary and no girlfriend when he was a programmer, he naturally saved a lot, and his sister just graduated and didn't find a job, so he wanted to start a business with his brother.

"I didn't think of anything for a while, so I went into business." His response was simple and straightforward every time. This trait is also the reason why Jia Yi still has a little appreciation for the science and engineering man in front of him.

"What are you going to do in the future?" While he was chatting, Jia Yi picked out a piece of beef from a plate of green peppers and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Open the shop, and then ......" he suddenly stopped talking, licked his upper lip with his tongue, smiled awkwardly, and began to rub one hand on his head again, "Find a daughter-in-law on a blind date." When he said this, his head was almost lowered, and a beam of light shot at Jia Yi in his sunken eyes, hot, eager, and sensitive.

Jia Yi felt that he might have been on too many blind dates, just a reflex, and didn't care much. So much so that he asked Jia Yi about his love status, and Jia Yi replied neatly: "I'm single!" ”

Lin Xiao smiled again, still smiling innocently: "I don't believe it." ”

Jia Yi is a little impatient, she hasn't seen a man like Lin Xiao who lacks emotional intelligence and lack of heart and eyes, but she can often tease a few times before pushing it away, this is good, she is not even interested in teasing.

Jia Yi didn't respond to his question, just pretended to smile, and then took the opportunity to eat the meat vigorously, secretly comparing him and Mingjing in his heart, how could these two be brother and sister?

A few days later, Qiao Le's "inspection inspection" finally arrived as scheduled, and as soon as he entered the store, he wrinkled his nose and said, "What does this smell like?" After saying that, he coughed violently.

Jia Yi remembered that Qiao Le had rhinitis since college, she actually forgot, and she was a little reluctant to go, so she hurriedly handed over the tissue and said, "Just finished decorating, the smell is relatively big." ”

"And you're still here all day? Can't you smell it? ”

"What's the solution? This is my shop, and I will follow it from renovation to opening. ”

"It's good to leave it to a professional company, why do you bother ......" Qiao Le couldn't stand the air in the store, and immediately walked outside the door and said, "Why do you come every day?" ”

"Of course you have to come every day, you think the decoration is so simple!"

"If you have any problems, you can sue me!" His voice was raised higher and higher, but he didn't want outsiders to feel as if he was arguing with Jia Yi, so he lowered his voice a little, and persuaded in a deep and earnest tone: "You should always pay attention to your body." ”

Of course she knew that he was caring about herself, but his incomprehension still made her a little dissatisfied, "I know, didn't I already buy two empty purifiers, one upstairs and one downstairs, as long as someone is here, the doors and windows are open." ”

She hoped that these words would reassure him, but his worries did not ease in the slightest, and he continued: "Even so, then you shouldn't be busy alone, why don't you hire someone to help, you are always so strong." ”

His tone was full of pity and earnestness, how could she not feel it, but she was even more obsessed with him labeling herself as "strong", and she would make a mistake in the face of Qiao Le, the more he cared, the more she wanted to escape.

She chose not to respond to him, and only pretended to be busy in a muffled voice, spreading out the newly arrived tablecloth samples and matching them, as if she didn't see Qiao Le standing in the doorway at all.

Qiao Le has been well versed in her temper since college, but he still can't help but ask, "You can recruit people, right?" ”

Jia Yi nodded and said, "Of course you have to recruit, but this should be after the opening." ”

In fact, Xiaoya is even an employee in the store, but she also knows that before the formal arrangement, Xiaoya's help will make her unhappy.

She just wants to be strong, but she just doesn't want anyone to break this.

He relieved himself a little and said, "Okay, if you have any difficulties anyway, you must tell me, you know, I ......"

Jia Yi didn't wait for him to finish, she stared at him directly with her sharp eyes, which shot out like an arrow, reaching the bull's-eye, and his voice really stopped abruptly.

It's quiet, because of this arrow-like gaze.

But he felt that the world was not quiet, full of struggling gasps and cold wails, and he looked at the sunset outside that was about to disperse, and thought of another thing to say to Jiayi.

"You haven't forgotten my birthday next week, have you?"

Jia Yi suddenly became nervous and said, "Of course I won't forget, what, are you going to get a birthday gift now?" Of course she knew that he wasn't here to ask for a birthday present, this sentence was for herself, and all kinds of things were mixed during this time, and she forgot to pick a gift for him.

Seeing that Jia Yi's mood was calm, Qiao Le felt happy and said with a smile: "No, because I have a business trip next week, my birthday will be passed early." ”

Jia Yi was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "In advance?" When? ”

"This weekend, the venue is at my house!"

Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." She added, "But Xiao Yin came to invite me before." ”

"Are you still in touch with Xiao Yin?"

"What? Can't get in touch with your girlfriend? She deliberately said the word "girlfriend" very seriously, and she wanted to remind Qiao Le that there was still a love in front of him that he needed to be loyal.

He said slowly, "No. You can contact whomever you want, but I don't want you to deliberately bypass me and contact her. ”

Of course, she deliberately bypassed him, when she thought of Xiao Yin, she felt guilty, but she didn't know why she felt guilty?

But for Qiao Le, she has long been a sin with conclusive evidence, but why is she not guilty at all?

She closed her eyes, unwilling to think about it, and only said, "I know, I will go, I will go!" ”
