δ failed again.

I'm really decrepit.

At the end of the day, I still didn't have the courage to ask her for contact.

Although they are all colleagues in the same store, it is very reasonable to ask for a phone number or Wechat email address, and it is absolutely impossible for her to suspect that I have any bad intentions.

Wait, what am I thinking.

In good conscience, I just want to make friends with her, so what's a bad intention?

It's obviously a positive social interaction, well, it must be so.

Anyway, I still haven't been able to talk to her.

We all took turns the rest of the day.

I didn't ride to Jinji Lake to exercise as usual, I didn't go to Blizzard Battle.net to play Star Sea Battle 2, I didn't read the One Piece manga updated that day, I didn't ask my friend Xiao Ji to sing K together, and I didn't watch the Big Bang Theory, but I stayed at home for a day uncharacteristically.

It's a whole day!

There was simply nothing to do.

Because her mind is full of the side face when she squints her eyes and smiles.

I want to go to work, I want to go to work, I want to go to work!!

I want to go to work, I want to go to work, I want to go to work!!

I want to go to work, I want to go to work, I want to go to work!!

Finally, another day passed, and I continued to go to work in the store.

I finally succeeded in saying a sentence to her, a sentence that has nothing to do with work, has nothing to do with eating, has nothing to do with thanks, and is not essential to say something that can't be said.

[That... May I ask if you dropped the EasyCard on the ground? ]

Although this sentence was proposed by me.

But in hindsight, it's still embarrassing.

What kind of conversation is this?

It's too vulgar to use such a rotten stalk as a topic of conversation with girls to pick up and return something.

But she really dropped Yoyo Kaa.

Forget it, to be able to see her smile angelically at me.

Satisfied.

At least I knew her name.

Fan Jiaxin, English name KIRA.

Are the names of angels so good?

I do not know.

After all, they don't show up very often, do they?

ε

With a name, there's an entry point.

Well, that's all it takes.

A good start will always make people feel a lot better.

However, things moved faster and faster than I had anticipated.

Today, the day after I know her name.

ushered in a turning point.

A major turnaround.

Lunch is coming.

There are almost no customers in the shop.

There is only one young man who came to theorize [making trouble], I saw him a few days ago, came to the store to fill out a resume and left without saying a few words to Sister Lu, with black-framed glasses, a Chinese face, a look of not waking up, wearing a school uniform that I don't know which school, the whole thing is dressed as an otaku, because he has not been notified to go to work, he ran to argue with the supervisor to reason, and was sent away by Sister Lu's righteous words, and the store returned to the previous quiet atmosphere.

I HAD A CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH KIRA.

That's great.

It's okay to talk to her.

There is no happiest thing on earth than this.

I'd better be able to stop at this moment forever.

So that we can talk all the way and all the time.

Of course not.

I asked her, "Why did you choose KIRA as your English name, isn't it weird for a girl to use such a name?"

She asked me to guess.

I paused, carefully searching my mind for every possibility that these four-letter words might exist in all the multiverses of each dimension.

[So yes, it has something to do with Kira in Japan?] Kira in Mobile Suit Gundam. Yamato? Or the savior Night God Moon in Death Note? I grabbed the back of my head with my hand and glared at KIRA.

I saw a look of surprise on her face, and she only stopped for a second, then smiled and looked at me.

[Hahahahaha, you think too much, is it usually Conan or detective novels that I read too much, people just casually searched for an English name on Google and just jumped out of KIRA, hahaha, you're so funny.] KIRA STUCK OUT HER TONGUE AND TURNED HER HEAD TO THE DOOR.

There was a rush of footsteps.

A tall figure, from the outside in, entered the store and soon came to us.

[Hello, how can I help you?] Do you want to buy clothes or knock on a medallion? KIRA smiled at the middle-aged man in a suit in front of him, and looked at each other with blinking eyes, looking very cute.

Just as I watched her lose her mind again.

The middle-aged man in the suit spoke:

[Hello, I'm from the Taipei headquarters, this is my work card, I'm here today to do the store's semi-annual inventory inspection, may I ask the store manager or shift leader?] He said politely, not forgetting to brush the slightly crumpled cuffs of his suit.

Hey, his voice, why do I feel a little...

[In the in, Brother John's arrival, there is a long way to welcome, come and come inside, please, I haven't seen you for a long time.] Sister Lu ran out of the office in a panic, and she stammered a little when she spoke, it seems that this person in front of her is really not small, and she must have reached a very high level in the head office.

They walked into the office one after the other, and as soon as the door closed, they couldn't see what was going on inside.

KIRA AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND SMILED, AND CONTINUED OUR CHAT.

Until......

[What the hell is going on?] You two, come over to me! Sister Lu shouted loudly, her emotions almost out of control.

I've never seen her like this.

KIRA WAS OBVIOUSLY ALSO FRIGHTENED BY THE SCENE AND DID NOT DARE TO SAY ANYTHING.

I'm a boy, so of course I want to set an example, so I nodded at Kira and motioned for her to come over.

KIRA QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I MEANT, AND WALKED WITH ME TO THE OFFICE.

In front of us.

The middle-aged man in the suit was expressionless, and he was writing something down in a booklet with a pen, and the posture was a little weird, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it for a while.

Sister Lu was sweating profusely, but she didn't care about wiping it, she looked around, as if she was looking for something, and it seemed that the six gods and no master had lost their way.

She finally looked up at us:

[Did you all go to work yesterday?] Who received the goods? ]

KIRA AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, NOT KNOWING WHAT TO ANSWER.

[I ask you, who received the goods, and now there are three less egg yolk umbrellas and two less Starbucks co-branded mugs. Sister Lu finally calmed down, and her tone calmed down a little, but the expression on her face was still very nervous, like a taut string.

My brain turned very fast, yesterday in the store on me, KIRA, and Ding Xiaojia work, the delivery person came in the morning, Ding Xiaojia had a stomachache and went to the toilet for a long time and didn't come back, and I was receiving a middle-aged male customer who said a mouthful of Gangpu that was difficult to understand, so this batch of goods should be signed by KIRA, yes, there were not many goods yesterday, just a big box, I didn't go to help her sort it out.

Unless.

It was she who signed the form without counting.

Otherwise, there is a deficit in the inventory of our store.

I can't think of a third possibility.

I LOOKED AT KIRA.

She pressed her head very low, very low, as if she was counting the number of ants on the ground.

She clenched her hands into fists, looking struggling.

I kind of get it.

It could be that she was mistaken.

But.

How could I bear to let her confess it openly on such an occasion?

This kind of thing, of course, has to be done by a thick-skinned guy like me.

I raised my hand.

[That, yesterday was the goods I received, and there was a mistake in the inventory, my mistake, I admit it.] I looked at Sister Lu with an earthy face, in fact, this expression was pretended by me, pretending to be decay is as simple as eating and sleeping for a person like me, who is already super decrepit.

[According to the company's regulations, the discrepancy in store inventory is a serious financial negligence, but Xu Yufan, you have only been here for a week, and it is still a newcomer training period, and many things are not particularly clear, this time I will receive a warning sheet first, go back and reflect on my mistakes, write a two-hundred-word review, and I won't be able to protect you if I do it again, Brother John, what do you think? ] Sister Lu laughed with her, the call just now was ostensibly for me, but the actual audience was indeed the middle-aged man named John.

[Ah go back and check the monitoring and control, and then contact the distribution department, if it is true that you have not received the goods because of the leakage, forget it, it is not easy for the newcomer, and then be careful, this phenomenon of leakage is still more appropriate to be found on the spot, otherwise it is not clear.] Brother John said solemnly.

[Yes, yes, yes.] Sister Lu nodded, but was obviously relieved.

I had to cooperate with her, and then lowered my head and said yes a few times.

Brother John is finally gone.

After Sister Lu educated me, she continued to go back to her office, probably to investigate the surveillance.

[Thank you just now, Mr. Xu.] KIRA HELD BACK FOR A LONG TIME AND FINALLY OPENED HER MOUTH.

Wouldn't it be too official to say no at this time?

Wouldn't it be too contrived to say that this is what I should do?

Wouldn't it be too ambiguous to say that it was my pleasure to help you?

Now it's my turn to speak.

I stared at her, smiled, and smiled.

[Why are you laughing so much that I'm embarrassed.] She lowered her head again, and I could see that her face was flushed.

[Because... Because...] Just when I was stuck and didn't know what to say, I almost lost control and blurted out because I liked you, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Brother John I just saw.

[Have you noticed that Brother John just now is a bit of a lady when he speaks?] I'm a dull person, and a lot of clues come back to me long after it's over, and they pop up like a fountain bursting, and I can't help but laugh, I mean, the kind of laugh I really want to laugh at.

[Eh, yes, oh, you seem to be talking like that, I just thought it was weird to say, do you think he would be....] KIRA analyzes very shyly, and looks like a cute child in kindergarten.

[Yes, it must be, 800 percent yes, if it were a public vote, I would definitely raise my hands and feet in favor.] I raised my right hand and pretended to vote.

[Well, hey, wait, no, almost off topic, you just carried the black pot for me, I'll invite you to coffee when I get off work, as my return gift, don't refuse!] She didn't give me a chance to say no, and ran away to receive a young couple who had just entered the door.

I certainly won't say no.

Is my life about to reach the top?

It must be.
