α I stood near the silver-black display rack closest to the gate, pretending to be sorting out the new short-sleeved shirt hanging on the display shelf, I carefully wiped the unnecessary dust on the pink HelloKitty T-shirt, I looked at the customers scattered in all corners of the store who were choosing their favorite clothes, but in fact, they were peeking in the direction of the cash register with the peripheral vision of their eyesThe queue was very long, the little girl trembled and took the clothes handed by the customer, and stuffed the clothes into the packaging bag very bluntly, and accidentally almost broke the bag, she stuck out her tongue and squeezed out a smile to the customer, resolving the crisis.

It's so cute.

Just when I was intoxicated by the little girl's smile and couldn't extricate myself, I only felt that my left ear was being grabbed with a lot of strength.

[Ahh I struggled desperately, but the strength of that hand multiplied, and I couldn't escape.

[Xu Yufan, now during the rush hour, the store is so busy, but you are hiding here and being lazy?] The voice is very sharp, and when I hear it, I am the shift leader, and at the same time, I am the trainer, Ding Xiaojia.

[No, no, I see that there is a certain deviation between the placement of these new T-shirts for display and the temperament of the store, so it is being sorted out, you see, after my careful adjustment, now our store is overcrowded, how about it, amazing.] I was expecting Ding Xiaojia to give me a proud thumbs up, only to roll his eyes in exchange for his rather disdainful signature move.

[Don't go and help the cashier ship yet!] Don't you see that they are too busy to use their hands and feet? You're the laziest person I've ever trained, and I should have asked the company to give you the laziest employee award, and the prize is, well, a dismissal letter. Ding Xiaojia was holding the plate clip used to record inventory, and he didn't know what he was writing.

Where do I dare to be lazy, I immediately rushed into the cashier area to help, still as usual did not dare to look directly into the eyes of the little girl, blushing to avoid meeting her eyes, she took an order, I made an order, she took an order, I made an order, she took an order, I made an order.

I continued as usual, and didn't speak to her.

It's just that, in the busy space, take every opportunity to appreciate the moving silhouette of her side face.

Until.

The last customer walked out of the store satisfied.

How did today's peak come to an end so quickly?

It's incredible.

The process in the middle seems to be completely detached.

In my memory, only her taste, her side face, and, her voice.

[Everyone has worked hard, it's almost time to eat, Xu Yufan, you eat first, remember that there is only half an hour, yesterday, and the day before yesterday you were overtime, and then I have to record it. Sister Lu took out the operation manual in a good manner, I ignored her and ran outside the store as soon as possible.

Elevator, down.

Basement level.

Although it has passed the meal, the main food stalls and store entrances are still occupied by a dazzling array of diners.

Not at all to give people a chance to breathe.

I was casually standing in the line at one of the curry shops.

I don't really have high expectations for food.

I have a request for a wallet.

The curry shop is the only place in this building where I consume.

The ranking is even ahead of Starbucks.

To be honest, their beef curry tastes amazing, very Taiwanese, and the price is a dollar cheaper than Starbucks' ham and cheese toast.

I come here to eat almost every day.

However, due to the long queue, it is almost impossible to eat it in half an hour.

I usually bring some puffs back and share them with my colleagues in the store, first, to bribe the leaders, and secondly, to come.

The main thing is to hope that they will be fed to her.

I don't know her very well.

I haven't met Sister Lu and Ding Xiaojia a few times.

Oh yes, it's my fifth day on the job.

My name is Xu Yufan, and I work in a trendy clothing store in the Eslite Bookstore in Suzhou.

β

How can I say it?

If you think about it carefully, this whole process is obviously not logical.

I've loved singing since I was a child, and when I was in middle school, I decided to be a singer when I grew up, and I studied vocal music in college, and after graduation, I entered a piano store for an internship, but now I work in a trendy brand store that is completely incompatible with my major.

My mom and dad are going crazy.

said that all the money spent in the university was in vain.

What did you know that such a down payment to buy a house, so many years can be doubled several times.

Raising me is equivalent to raising a white-eyed wolf.

It's almost time for me to go home.

I don't remember how I ended up running to Eslite to apply for a music specialist at Eslite Bookstore that day, and when I went downstairs after the interview, I saw her in a trendy store.

She was small, and the long hair of her shawl and the slightly curly air bangs on her forehead gave me an indescribable sense of pleasure.

It's like suddenly meeting an old friend you haven't seen in decades in a strange city.

She held a blue pen and scribbled on a stack of colored paper.

Suddenly.

Flutter smirked.

That glance.

That's the look.

I don't know how to describe it in the language of the earth.

From her eyes, I saw the vast universe, human civilization from ancient times to the present, from the meteorite explosion to the formation of the planet to the extinction of the dinosaurs to the rise of the empire, everything in an instant, like a marquee of life, quickly swam in my mind.

My heart, I probably stopped beating for a few seconds.

A dazzling white light.

I felt like I was in the Garden of Eden, and when I opened my eyes, the colorful petals that bloomed along the way fluttered in the wind.

The sky was blue, the clouds were treacherous, and three or two baby-shaped cherubs were waving their pure white wings and soaring in the sky.

Suddenly.

One of the little angels pulled out a golden longbow from his back, and the arrow was on the string, and it was about to fire.

The pink arrow broke through the barrier of time and space, and gently passed through her body, down her back, and through my heart.

I woke up.

Come back to your senses.

She had already handed the stack of colored paper in her hand to the short-haired eldest sister in the cash register, and then walked out of the store and disappeared into the other end of the long corridor.

I vaguely heard the short-haired elder sister say to the young brother next to her, [This girl is good, she can be hired].

I seem to have forgotten the real purpose of my visit to Eslite.

I pulled out my spare resume tucked away at the bottom of my gray shoulder bag.

Resolutely stepped into that trendy brand store.

[Hello, my name is Xu Yufan, and I want to come here to work.] ]

γ

I can admit with a clear conscience that I chose this job because of her.

But in the five days that passed in the blink of an eye, there was almost zero communication with her.

We each followed our own trainers to learn a series of work such as cashiering, receiving, inventory, customer reception, and cleaning in the store.

In one word, busy.

I never thought that such an ordinary trendy brand store that is not a first-line mainstream brand can be so busy.

Maybe it has something to do with the Hudong business district to which Eslite Bookstore belongs.

I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat, and I was so busy that I went to bed in the middle of the night carrying the size of my clothes, the number of stocks and the reception language, and of course I didn't have time to talk to her.

In addition to occasional eye contact, communication with each other is an essential work communication.

[Yes, Sister Lu just said that the Doraemon series has been sold out and will not be available in the short term.] ]

[I, tomorrow too, morning shift.] ]

[Thank you for the puffs.] ]

[No.] ]

Presumably a factor of family inheritance.

As soon as I talked to her, my brain turned off, and my face instantly turned red like a monkey's ass, so I had to pretend to read the instruction manual in my hand, for which Ding Xiaojia often complained that I always lowered my head when I spoke, saying that this was a sign of lack of self-confidence, and it had a bad impact on the store, so I had to smile at him, but I was crying in my heart.

Of course I was crying that I was incompetent.

Why didn't I even get enough points for the skill of talking to girls?

What were you doing when you were studying?

My academic performance is quite good, I have an orchestra with a few dead parties at the same time of studying, I play some jazz and blues songs when I have nothing to do, and occasionally organize performances in the school auditorium, of course, I am the lead singer of a cool orchestra, standing at the front of the line, after the singing, enjoying the applause and gaze of the audience, and occasionally receiving postcards and small notes from the girls in the front row with contact information, I ignored any of them.

I'm certainly not a, and I don't mean I'm just immersed in the world of studies and music.

Because I haven't met the one I was destined to be.

There is no need to do something futile at this crossroads of fate.

Because my dad has taught me since I was a child, unless I meet a girl who I really like from the bottom of my heart and decide to live a lifetime, don't be easily ambiguous, the consequences of ambiguity girls can't afford it, and I will also be unable to afford it, so I asked him how I know what real like is, what love is.

My dad smiled and said that the appearance of love is that you want to laugh when you see her, and you want to cry when you don't see her.

When you meet someone like that, you'll know.

Simple and crude, easy to understand.

When I was only ten years old, I understood.

And has been following his teachings and remaining fucking single until now.

Until that day, that moment.

Freeze frame.

In the vast sea of people, a beam of light lit up.

I finally knew that that light was what love looked like.

[This handsome man, please ask if you are still a little single, if so, can you trouble you and let the young lady in the back take the lead.] ]

！！！

[Dot, I want curry beef, add meat, add rice, more soup, no vegetables, oh yes, takeaway, thank you!] It dawned on me that I had been in a trance, and that I had exceeded the speed of the team.

Five minutes later, I grabbed a takeaway lunch box, asked for four glasses of juice in front of a freshly pressed juicer, and headed for the elevator.

Today, be sure to try to talk to her more than three sentences.

I meditated in my heart, and the corners of my mouth went up.
