Chapter 213 Three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work
Probably because it was lunch time, there weren't many customers at this dessert shop called "Xingji Desserts".
The bright midday sunlight streamed in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied an entire wall, drawing a clear dividing line in this small shop, which was only a few dozen square meters.
The swing-like seats sway gently and creak slightly, order a cup of coffee or juice, listen to soft background music, smell the sweet and fresh smell of cream and fruit in the air, and look at the bustling crowd on the street outside the window, as if even time is starting to become lazy at this moment.
"How many of you are there, sir?"
Li Mengnan had just found a place to sit in a corner sheltered from the sun, when a soft and sweet voice like glutinous rice dumplings came from beside him.
Before turning his head to see his face clearly, Li Mengnan's gaze was forcibly pulled down by the faint furrow at the neckline of the beige plaid skirt that imitated the maid's dress, and he was about to praise the conscience of this dessert shop angrily, but suddenly heard an exclamation from the service girl in front of him.
"Blindfolding...... Monango? β
Get! Li Mengnan didn't need to look up this time to know who the "broad-minded" girl in front of him was, and at present, in the world, he is called this way, and only Qingche, this little girl.
Qing Che didn't expect to see Li Mengnan here, he was happy in his heart, and a little nervous, he peeked in the direction of the counter, and saw that the proprietress was just looking down and playing with her phone, and didn't notice her, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Qingche? Why are you here? Don't you have to go to school? Li Mengnan wondered, he remembered that today should not be a rest day.
"This is a shop owned by a relative of one of my classmates, and I've been doing it here for a while...... But don't worry, Monango, I didn't skip class, I worked part-time, and I came to work after school and on my days off. β
Probably afraid that the chat time would be too long and make the proprietress suspicious, Qing Che explained in a low voice and deliberately said loudly: "Sir, today's discount recommendation for our store is this strawberry potted plant, do you want to have one?" β
Li Mengnan took the dessert list in Qing Che's hand, pretended to ask, and said with a smile: "Work-study is a good thing, but you don't have to fight so hard, right?" β
Qing Che was stunned, and then followed Li Mengnan's line of sight to understand that he was talking about the neckline that exposed a small half of the career line, and couldn't help but blush, blocked it with the dessert list in his hand, and said crampedly: "Brother Mengnan, don't get me wrong, this uniform is not custom-made, but one-size-fits-all, and it's okay for others to wear it, but I will become like this when I wear it...... I really didn't mean to show so much, and if you don't like it, I'll quit this job right now. β
"Okay, I'll tease you, don't be so nervous."
Li Mengnan is just joking, now the weather has not completely cooled, and the low-chested and deep-V girls on the street have gone to the sea, and Qingche's career line is nothing compared to it.
But just because of a joke, this little girl was so nervous about his opinion, this kind of heart made Li Mengnan very moved.
"How's the job? Is it hard? β
Li Mengnan's concern made Qing Che's heart warm, and he shook his head again and again: "This is not a restaurant, and customers will not come at the same time ......."
"Just what?"
"No, no, it's nothing, it's not a big deal." Qingche wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Mengnan can naturally see that this little girl is hiding something, but after all, this is Qingche's personal **, and judging from the current situation of the little girl's love, it is obvious that what she encountered is indeed not a big deal, and it is likely that it is just a little trouble at work.
"If there's something you have to call me, you know?" Although Li Mengnan believed that Qing Che could handle this little matter, he still felt the need to remind him.
"Don't bother you, Monange, I can handle it." Qing Che hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's so sad for me to say such an out-of-the-box thing, you're my future girlfriend's substitute, if you suffer something, isn't it equivalent to me suffering? It's tolerable or unbearable, and uncles can't tolerate it, isn't it? β
Although for Li Mengnan, what this little girl said about her girlfriend substitute was just a naΓ―ve joke, I have to say that this reason is still very useful in the face of this little girl.
"Well, Monnango, I'll listen to you."
It was the first time Qing Che heard Li Mengnan personally admit her identity as a "girlfriend substitute", and his heart was suddenly happy, taking advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, he gently pulled Li Mengnan's hand on the table, and then lowered his head shyly with a red face.
Li Mengnan was also a little heartbroken by Qing Che's sudden move, and hurriedly diverted the topic to hide his embarrassment, and coughed dryly: "By the way, Qing Che, you seem to be only thirteen years old, right?" Does this shop also recruit child labor? β
Qing Che hurriedly raised his finger to Li Mengnan and made a booing motion, and said in a low voice: "I told the owner of the store that I was eighteen years old, don't tell ...... out."
"Eighteen? This is also ......"
Li Mengnan just wanted to say, "This can be believed", but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly swallowed them back, because he found that these words were not outrageous.
Although Qingche, this little girl, is not very old, but her development is very early, saying that eighteen years old may be suspected, but saying that sixteen years old is definitely believed, and then a little more mature makeup, pretending to be an adult, no one will really be able to see it.
"Ha, I hope no one checks your ID." Li Mengnan laughed dryly.
"The proprietress has something to check, but I said that I lost my ID card and it will take time to reissue it, if she doesn't need me, I'll go to the dessert shop opposite, and then she quickly left me behind."
Speaking of this, Qing Che couldn't help laughing, obviously very proud of the little tricks he played.
"Hehe, if she dares not to keep you, the turnover of this store will drop by at least ten percentage points."
Li Mengnan can imagine the face of the proprietress at that time, in this society where three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, and the remaining ninety points are completely based on appearance, a rare cute girl like Qingche with a childish face = breasts, no matter where she goes, she can directly pull the turnover of a store, although it doesn't matter if she doesn't hire it, but if it is obtained by a competitor, it will be terrible.
"What's the matter, Monange, you're going to pick something nice to coax me, you're a bad person."
The little girl happily blocked her reddish face with a dessert list, she finally knew that she was going to issue a bad guy card to Li Mengnan, which was really a big improvement.
"By the way, Monange, why did you come here, did you make an appointment?" Qingche finally remembered what he wanted to ask in the first place.
"How do you know?"
Li Mengnan was a little surprised, Qing Che had always given him the feeling that she was the kind of stupid girl who stayed in the depths and was naturally cute, how could she suddenly become so sharp today?
"Experience!" Qing Che waved his hand embarrassedly, "Generally speaking, only female customers will come to the store alone to eat desserts, but if male customers come alone, they are basically waiting for someone, and 100% waiting for a woman." β
"Well, I'll admit, I'm here to wait for someone, and that's what I'm waiting for." Li Mengnan simply had a direct showdown, anyway, Le Youyou will arrive soon, and there is nothing to hide.
After Li Mengnan's personal admission, the little girl's expression obviously became a little unnatural, obviously this answer made her a little shocked, but fortunately, she still remembered the agreement between the two, and the word "substitute" behind her head, but she didn't mess around, just tried her best to make a normal expression, and asked in a low voice: "That girl...... Who is it? β
"Meet here, in your experience, what do you think?" Seeing Qing Che's complicated expression of contradictory entanglement but pretending to be calm, Li Mengnan couldn't help but want to tease this little girl.
"Monnango, you said you don't have a girlfriend now, so ...... Should be...... The girl you're courting right now, right? β
Qingche was a little lost, in addition to couples, she had seen only men and women who were about to become couples dating in the store.
"Okay, don't put on that bitter gourd face as if you were abandoned, it's a girl, it's just a female buddy, let's talk about something here, it's not as flowery as you think."
Qing Che's resentful eyes at this moment and his slightly pursed mouth were about to turn people upside down, if it weren't for the people around him watching, Li Mengnan really wanted to reach out and pinch it.
"Really?" The little girl was immediately overjoyed, and her face changed as fast as if she was flipping through a book, "Then, then I'll invite you to dessert, employees in a store like us have the permission to sign orders at half price three times a day......"
"Okay, but let's talk about it when we come." Li Mengnan smiled and did not refuse Qing Che's kindness.
At this moment, the copper bell on the door of the dessert shop made a crisp collision sound, and Leyouyou, who was dressed in an off-white windbreaker, pushed the door and walked into the dessert shop, and after a little glance, he found Li Mengnan sitting in the corner, and beckoned to him with a smile.
"That's her? β¦β¦ Then I'll go get you dessert and drinks. β
Qing Che subconsciously patted her chest, she was completely relieved now, at least in her opinion, even if Li Mengnan didn't open her eyes again, she would not fall in love with such a fat girl.
Although the other party is not ugly, and even has a hint of charm when you look closely, the obvious excess weight is not something that can be ignored if you want to.
After the little girl happily left with the dessert list, Le Youyou walked to the seat opposite Li Mengnan and sat down, took off the windbreaker to reveal the red knitwear inside, glanced curiously in the direction where Qing Che left, and said, "What did you just say?" Coax other people's waiter girls to be so happy? As if you picked up money? β
"As soon as I came in just now, the girl was deeply impressed by my Yushu Linfeng's upright and extraordinary, and secretly stuffed me with a note with a mobile phone number, but I refused solemnly.
I said no, I'm here to wait for someone, even if you look at me with sincerity, I can't do that kind of beast thing that forgets friends.
The girl was moved to tears on the spot, and said I like a hot-blooded man with a sense of responsibility like you, it doesn't matter, even if it's your girlfriend, I'm willing to wait for the day you break up, and you can treat me as your girlfriend's substitute.
Well, that's pretty much it for the whole thing, if there is a discrepancy in the details, please refer to the official explanation. β
Li Mengnan habitually began to talk nonsense, of course, it can't be completely nonsense, at least a large part of it is true.
"Editor, you just continue to make it, such a beautiful little girl, or a rare child-faced giant = milk otaku dream model, what kind of Cheng dΓΉ can secretly stuff a note for you as soon as you meet?"
Le Youyou pursed her lips disdainfully, Li Mengnan was so, she didn't know it on the first day, she didn't believe this obviously unreliable explanation when she heard it.
"You don't believe it? Do you want to make a bet? Li Mengnan smiled while fiddling with the mobile phone in his hand.
"Bet? What to bet on? β
Le Youqi is amazing, Li Mengnan doesn't have to brag about it, but he still dares to argue with her on the spot?
"Don't you believe she left me my phone number? I'll call her now, if her phone rings, even if I win, if it doesn't, even if you win, how about it? β
"Okay, what's the bet?" Le Youyou obviously doesn't believe in evil, and thinks that Li Mengnan is using psychological tactics to deceive her.
"Ladies first, you decide, I am not too little for a lollipop, and I am not too much for a car."
Li Mengnan didn't care about the stalls, anyway, it was just a temporary prank, and he didn't plan to take it seriously.
"Then make a bet with this." After thinking for a while, Leyouyou took out a black iphone6 mobile phone from his bag and put it on the table, "If you win, this phone will be yours, and if you lose, your phone will be mine." β
Li Mengnan was happy and said, "Youyou, why do you want me to break my phone?" Smashing walnuts can't lift ......"
"It's just a bet anyway, so why be serious? Besides, if I want an iPhone6 too, do you have it? Could it be that you will give me a kidney on the spot? β
Leyouyou also said that it doesn't matter, for her, the chips are not the most important, the gambling itself is the greatest fun.
"Then we'll see." Li Mengnan picked up the mobile phone and was about to dial, but suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, and looked at Le Youyou with a smile, "Finally, confirm, do you really want to bet with me?" β
"You can't be scared, right?" Leyou Superior Fa believes that Li Mengnan's sentence is a manifestation of weakness.
"No, I just want to make a final confirmation, lest I win and you say I'll cheat you."
After speaking, Li Mengnan stretched out his finger and swiped it on the mobile phone screen, and quickly dialed Qingche's mobile phone number.
Le Youyou thought that Li Mengnan was just dialing the phone casually, and then fooled the other party with the reason that the other party's mobile phone was turned off, Ben was ready to ridicule, and he didn't want to count a few seconds later, the beautiful little waitress who was ordering for another table of guests not far away actually rang the mobile phone ringtone.
This...... How is this possible? It can't be just a coincidence, right? Maybe someone just called her, and Li Mengnan caught up with the shit......
As soon as this idea came to mind, Le Youyou saw the beautiful little waitress put down the dessert list and hurriedly walked to the corner and took out her mobile phone, and saw the caller ID obviously showing a very surprised expression, and then looked at the table between the two of them, and shook her head to Li Mengnan in obvious embarrassment.
Li Mengnan put down his mobile phone and raised his eyebrows proudly at Leyouyou, and the two rows of neat big white teeth laughed very cheaply.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? I have said a long time ago, I am famous for my iron teeth, copper teeth, and gold do not exchange for honest and reliable Xiao Langjun......"
"It's just a phone call, maybe you saw it on the duty schedule in the store...... Besides, they didn't answer, and shook their heads vigorously, obviously not wanting to pay attention to you! β
Le Youyou doesn't care about betting or something, the key is that she doesn't want to lose so unexplained.
"Losing is losing, and playing tricks is not a gentleman's doing."
"Hmph, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a little girl." Leyou Youcai is not subject to Li Mengnan's agitation.
"Okay, you are unkind, I can't be unjust, I will convince you to lose today, and by the way, wash away my unreliable impression in the hearts of the world."
Le Youyou was speechless for a moment - big brother, isn't it just a bet? How big of a deal? Do you need to elevate yourself so infinitely?
Having said that, Le Youyou still cheered up, she wanted to see how Li Mengnan's goods would turn the tables.
Li Mengnan didn't even make a phone call this time, and handed it over with a look.
The little girl didn't know what Li Mengnan was doing when she suddenly asked her to go over, but she couldn't refuse whether she was public or private, so she had to obediently walk up to the two.
"Sir, is there anything you need?"
"Yes."
"Then please speak."
"Kiss me."
"Huh?" Qing Che almost suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and he couldn't help but ask again, "What did you just say?" β
"Kiss me, here." Li Mengnan smiled and pointed to his cheek.
Leyou almost didn't pass out on the spot.
Does Li Mengnan know what he's doing? blatantly flirting with other people's waiter girls in other people's dessert shops, is this because he didn't die fast enough? As long as the little girl shouts to catch the hooligans, believe it or not, a dozen strong men will pop up in minutes to give you "righteousness and bravery"......
However, what made Le Youyou feel even more like vomiting blood was that although the beautiful little waitress who was "molested" was shocked, she really did what this product requested, pretending to bend down to pick up something while no one was paying attention around, pecked Li Mengnan's face lightly, and then ran away quickly with a flushed face.
"Now you believe it?" Li Mengnan leaned on the back of the seat and lifted Erlang's legs.
"You first ruined my worldview with a magic trick, and now you ruined my outlook on life with a pickled girl, just hurry up, when will you destroy my values together...... Both brothers were killed, and it was pitiful to be alone. β
Le Youyou lay on the table in frustration and threw herself on the street, this time she completely admitted defeat and died.
"Youyou, although you are not the first to be ruined by me, you will never be the last...... And you should feel fortunate that some people are with me, not only ruined their three views, but also ruined their childhood. β
Li Mengnan kindly comforted, if this can be regarded as comfort.
