Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Way of the Enemy
The moment I opened my eyes, I felt tears slip down the corners of my eyes.
"What's wrong with you?
Following the voice, I saw Xuan Chen, who was standing on the edge of the bed with a worried face, frowning at me.
When I sat up, I handed a tissue in front of me, and I took it and wiped the tears from my face, but the sadness in my dream did not dissipate.
"What happened to you?
I didn't know how to answer, so I shook my head and asked, "Did I just talk in my sleep?"
Xuanchen frowned and looked at me for a while, Fang nodded, "You've been crying"
The pillow was wet with a big piece, it seems that I cried in reality when I cried in my dream just now, and I think Xuanchen came over when he heard the cry.
This is the first time that a dream has had such an impact on me!
I don't know why I feel so sad when I see that person gone, as if I have been abandoned, as if I am about to lose the most important thing, and I feel sad and sad that I have never felt before.
"Y-did you dream about something?"
Xuanchen seemed to be a little hesitant when he asked this, I opened my mouth and hesitated, and suddenly I didn't want to tell him the dream just now, so I pulled the corners of my mouth and said: "I dreamed that I failed the exam, and my mother called and said that she was coming to school to break my legs, and I cried when I was scared."
Xuan Chen obviously didn't believe my words, but he didn't ask again.
I felt sad and said to him, "Sorry to wake you up, go to sleep"
"Then you have a good rest," Xuan Chen looked at me with a deep look when he got up, turned off the lights and walked out.
I lay back in bed but I didn't feel sleepy, and my mind kept replaying the scene from the dream, the quiet and peaceful waters, the fiery red tree, the white-clothed and white-haired young man...... What was that place? Who was that boy? Why did I feel familiar with it in my dreams, why did I feel so sad when I saw that boy disappear?
When there was a faint light outside the window, I was dazed and a little sleepy, and before I fell asleep, I thought of the young man in white sitting under a fiery tree twisting flowers and smiling.
It was ten o'clock in the morning when I woke up again, and today Zhu Zhu Xiaorong and I took half a day off, and we went to the store at two o'clock in the afternoon.
When I went downstairs, I heard Xuanchen talking on the phone in the living room, and this was the first time I had seen him talk to someone on the phone.
“...... No, everything went according to plan...... I know"
Seeing me go downstairs, Xuan Chen said to the other end of the phone, so let's hang up the phone and said to me, "Are you awake?"
To be honest, my head hurts a little, and it should be because of a hangover. Speaking of last night, I remembered that I should have been drunk later, so I asked Xuanchen, "Did you pick me up last night?"
Xuan Chen smiled slightly: "To be exact, I brought you back" said with a little ambiguity, "I also helped you change your clothes"
My face suddenly burned a little, but I still said, "Thank you."
Don't get me wrong, I don't get used to it, I really regard my innocence as a floating cloud, but after I got up, I looked at the clothes on my body, except for the shirt and denim skirt on the outside that were taken off and replaced with a nightdress, the close-fitting clothes were worn neatly and neatly on the body, so there was really nothing to see and nothing to see, so I didn't have to be pretentiously angry.
"I have some things to deal with in the afternoon, I may pick you up later, you wait for me after work"
Hearing this, I hurriedly said: "If you are busy, you don't have to pick me up, I and Zhu Zhu and they can just take the subway back."
Xuanchen shook his head, "It won't be delayed for a long time, you just wait for me."
"It's really okay" I smiled: "Although not as powerful as you, but don't forget, I'm not an ordinary weak woman, ordinary demons and monsters still can't do anything to me! Besides, it's been very good lately, presumably those guys who don't go into the stream know that you are by my side to protect them and don't dare to act rashly!"
Xuan Chen smiled and said, "Haven't you heard what the tranquility before the storm is?"
I was stunned, "What do you mean—"
Before I could finish speaking, Xuan Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Lied to you, look at what scared you, and said that she is not an ordinary weak woman, I don't think you are much stronger!"
I'm a little annoyed, a little annoyed or embarrassed! It's true that compared to him and Mu Sin, my little tricks are really not worth mentioning, but if I compare with those weak women, I'm really not a little stronger, right? At least deal with a little hooligan pervert or something, and it will definitely make them regret their choice!
After resting for a while after lunch, Xuanchen drove me to the store and told me again to wait for him to pick me up.
Seeing that he is a little serious, I can only agree, of course, it is undeniable that I am still a little happy in my heart.
Today is a working day, although the business in the afternoon is better than in the morning, but there are not many customers, and in addition to me and Zhu Zhu Xiaorong in the store today, only the store manager and this week's person in charge Sister Wan are left, and the others are off in the afternoon.
While waiting for the guests to come to the door, we listened to Sister Wan talk about her neighbor's bloody divorce, which is really more exciting than a novel.
"The junior knocked on the door and beat my neighbor to the hospital, I heard that he smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, I guess, my neighbor's house is now left with those few walls and gates."
After listening to Sister Wan's words, I was really amazed at the arrogance of this junior, surprised by the cowardice of her female neighbor, and despised the scumbag husband who caused all this.
Zhu Zhu was a little excited when he heard this, and slapped the counter and said angrily: "Ya is not cleaned up, if you run into me, see if the old lady doesn't kill them!"
I couldn't help laughing, it is estimated that if this scumbag meets a daughter-in-law like Zhu Zhu, he will not dare to mess around outside if he is given a hundred dares, let alone conniving at Xiao San to go to the door, it will definitely take the initiative to send him to death.
We were chatting about the customers coming to the store, and we got up to greet them after chatting, but after I saw the people clearly, I felt that life could actually be more bloody.
Ji Ya was also stunned when she saw the three of us, and then she looked at us with an arrogant smile and said, "I didn't expect you to intern here?"
Zhu Zhu and I glanced at each other and knew that the road was narrow.
I was just about to reply, when I heard Ji Ya laugh and say, "If I had known that you wanted to intern in the summer, I would have introduced you to my father's company, my father is short of a few interns who serve tea and pour water."
Serving tea and pouring water is also a job, but hearing Ji Ya say this makes people very uncomfortable, I replied lightly: "Let's serve tea and pour water, I'm afraid your father's company can't pay this payment!"
The smile on Ji Ya's face stiffened, but he said: "Although your heart is high, you still have to see the reality clearly, at least I can afford the clothes in this store, and you-" said and deliberately paused and smiled with contempt.
I'm angry, but I have to endure it, not because I'm afraid of Ji Ya, but because I don't want to cause trouble for the store.
It is estimated that Sister Wan saw that Ji Ya's comer was not good, and took the initiative to step forward and said: "I didn't expect you to know, that's just right, if you like which set of clothes, I can apply to the store manager to give you a discount."
I didn't want Sister Wan's words to fall, Ji Ya snorted disdainfully and stroked her hair and said, "I never wear discounted goods"
The implication was that the clothes in the store were low-grade goods, and I was really angry.
Sister Wan naturally heard the meaning of Ji Ya's words, but after all, she had more experience in serving guests than us, and after the smile on her face stiffened for a moment, she asked with a smile: "I don't know what style and occasion you want to wear today, our store——"
It's just that before she can finish speaking, Ji Ya spoke again, and pointed at me and said, "I want her to serve me"
Sister Wan looked at me, and she also had the intention to help me out, so she said: "She has only been in the store for a short time, and she is not very familiar with the style of the clothes in the store, so it is better for me to serve you today."
Ji Ya glanced at Sister Wan and said, "What's the matter?
I think, if I hadn't cultivated good restraint since I was a child, I would have gone up and kicked Ya out with two big mouths.
"Sister Wan, since the guest has asked for it, then I'll come, if I don't understand something, you can remind me."
Come and find fault, right, the demons and monsters are not afraid, and they are afraid that you will not be able to make a piece!
I was about to step forward after speaking, but Zhu Zhu stopped me, looked back at Zhu Zhu with an angry face, smiled at her comfortingly, and said, "It's okay."
Of course, it's impossible to be fine.
In the next service process, Ji Ya naturally deliberately made things difficult, and tried one after another clothes, not that the color of this piece was not good or that the style was too old.
I stared at the door of the fitting room and took a deep breath several times before suppressing the anger that was about to explode again, Ji Ya came out of it and threw the clothes to me and said, "No, the material of this dress is so bad, my skin hurts a little when I grind it."
When I took another deep breath, I heard the voice of the store manager behind me, not in a hurry, but also not lukewarm.
After working for more than a week, to be honest, I have always had a strange feeling about this beautiful store manager, and I always feel that she should not only be a store manager here, because in terms of her knowledge and bearing, it is too condescending here.
"I'm sorry that the clothes in the store don't suit you, but you may not know that the dress you just tried on is made of pure natural mulberry silk, which is very skin-friendly, and it will never happen as you say"
After the store manager finished speaking, he said to me, "Xiaoxiao, you can hang up all your clothes back."
I was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly and was about to take the clothes in my hand to hang them, but I heard Ji Ya say: "Who let me hang it, there are still a few I haven't tried yet!"
But before I could speak, the store manager spoke: "The clothes in our store are specially for ladies with taste, I don't think it is suitable for customers like you, so please go to other stores to have a look."
Looking at Ji Ya's face that was instantly reddened, I felt a cool thing in my heart, and at the same time, I secretly applauded the store manager's scolding without dirty words.
Aren't you rich, but your taste doesn't deserve to wear the clothes in our store!
Although it was obviously not at the same level, Ji Ya refused to stop there, glared at the store manager and said, "What do you mean?"
The store manager glanced at her lightly, and said with a little carelessness: "My meaning has been clearly expressed, if you don't understand, I suggest that you study hard whether you go home or go back to school."
I really can't help but applaud the store manager, this is the high number of quarrels, and I don't say anything about it, and I don't say anything about it, but I also make the other party have nothing to refute.
Although I haven't had much contact, Ji Ya's personality has grown into what it is now, and I don't think it has much to do with the school, mainly because of the tutor.
"You!" Ji Ya probably has never met an opponent of the level of the store manager, his face is already red with anger, his neck is thick, where is the arrogance just now, he pointed at the store manager and said, "Who are you? I want to complain about you!"
