Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dreaming of Returning to the Coffee House
Qin Feng looked at the pitch-black staircase on the third floor of the basement, and then at the evil ghosts roaring outside the iron gate, especially the resentment revealed in the eyes of those blue-clothed ghosts, which made Qin Feng shudder. He knew that there was no way to get out of the second stairs this time, so he could only take Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to the third floor, hoping that there would be a way to get out.
As soon as Qin Feng entered the third staircase, he actually saw a trace of white light at the end of the stairs, Qin Feng looked at Xiao Hei Xiaobai with a surprised face, Xiao Hei Xiaobai didn't know what was going on, glanced at each other and cautiously walked towards Bai Guang, as they got closer, the white light became bigger and bigger, and Qin Feng's eyes couldn't be opened, and after Qin Feng adapted to the strong light, he saw that there was only a ten-meter-long corridor on the third floor, and at the end of the corridor was the source of the white light, there was only a stone door carved in white stone, Qin Feng looked at the door, The mood is very mixed. The third floor is this corridor, this door. There was nothing else, but Qin Feng felt that it was very depressing here, as if something was pressing in his heart, and he actually wanted to cry.
It's not just Qin Feng who feels this way, but also Xiao Hei Xiaobai, they will actually have sad emotions in their hearts, they endure the discomfort in their hearts, look at the white stone door together, and a burst of yearning emerges in their hearts, because they feel that it is so beautiful there, there is no grief, there seems to be something behind the door that they want to pursue, they slowly walked towards the door, bathed in the white light emitted by the door, the white light became stronger and stronger, and gradually wrapped Qin Feng, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai in the white light. Qin Feng was wrapped in white light, and he felt very comfortable, so he wanted to sleep like thisγγγγγγ
"Boss, boss, don't fall asleep here, you'll catch a cold" Qin Feng heard someone calling himself in his ear, this voice was very familiar, he wanted to open his eyes to see, but he felt too tired, he couldn't use any strength, he felt as if something was covered on his body, the cold feeling on his body disappeared, he relaxed comfortably, no longer obsessed with opening his eyes, he heard the beautiful female voice talking to others.
"The boss is so hard that he can't wake him up"
"Forget it, let him sleep here, you guys go and rest too, I'll take care of him here" Qin Feng felt as if someone was sitting down next to him, he heard someone going upstairs, and soon he felt that there was no sound around him, only the occasional sound of turning the pages of the book, which made him feel very comfortable and relaxed, and he seemed to have forgotten something.
Qin Feng slept comfortably like this, until the next day he opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure wiping clean, it was a waiter who had been employed in the store for a long time, Qin Feng remembered that her name was Ye Xiaorou, she was beautiful, she had just graduated from college, and she was about the same age as herself, but the difference was that he inherited the coffee house left by his parents, and Xiao Rou could only work for herself, Xiao Rou saw Qin Feng wake up and showed a sweet smile.
"Boss, are you awake?" Although Xiao Rou was greeting Qin Feng, she still didn't stop what she was doing, still wiping the table, at this time, two children, a man and a girl, came down upstairs, this is the child that Qin Feng's relatives asked him to take care of, the boy is called Xiao Hei, the girl is called Xiao Bai, he is only thirteen years old this year, and he has just entered junior high school.
"Boss, Sister Xiaorou, let's go to school" Xiao Hei said as he took Xiao Bai's hand and walked outside, Xiao Hei looked more extroverted, while Xiao Bai looked more introverted, and hid behind Xiao Hei timidly.
"Xiao Hei, pay attention to safety on the road, take care of Xiao Bai" Xiao Rou instructed Xiao Hei, who was holding Xiao Bai, they were more like relatives in comparison. Qin Feng didn't feel anything, at this time, the door of the coffee house was pushed open, and a girl wearing red short sleeves and black sweatpants ran in, holding on to the cash register out of breath.
"It's a minute late, what do you say" Qin Feng glanced at the clock on the cash register, and said to the panting girl, this girl is also an employee of the coffee house, she is a college student at a nearby university, and she takes advantage of the lack of classes to come to the school to work part-time, she is called Shangguan Lianxue.
"Boss, you're wrong, it's still three minutes before work, and the clock was deliberately set up by three minutes last night, just to make you think I'm late for work" Shangguan Lianxue adjusted her breath and showed her mobile phone to Qin Feng, Qin Feng glanced at it, and then looked at his mobile phone, and the time shown on it was indeed three minutes before it arrived.
"I'll take the time of this clock as the standard, if you don't change your clothes and go to work any longer, I will really deduct your salary" Qin Feng put away his mobile phone, regardless of the angry Lianxue, and went directly upstairs to wash, while Shangguan Lianxue was still standing there looking at Qin Feng's back upstairs with an angry face.
"Lian Xue, the boss means that your salary will not be deducted this time, go and change your clothes" Xiao Rou saw that Lian Xue was motionless, and hurriedly reminded her, and when Lian Xue heard Xiao Rou say this, a smile immediately appeared on her face. Jumping upstairs to change clothes. Start your day.
When Qin Feng came downstairs after washing, he saw that Xiao Rou and Lianxue were working hard, and after saying hello to them, he planned to go out.
"Boss, where are you going, aren't you going to eat?" Shangguan Lianxue saw that her boss was going out, and asked curiously.
"Breakfast and lunch, you can solve it yourself, I'm going to my parents' house, I haven't been back to see them for a long time, today I want to go back to see them" After Qin Feng finished speaking, he pushed open the glass door of the coffee house and walked outside, the early morning sun shone on him, he felt warm, but Qin Feng felt as if something was wrong.
But soon he was cleared of this doubt by the crowded bus. At this time, it was the rush hour for work, the road was congested, and the bus was as crowded as sardine canned, Qin Feng got on the bus early, and occupied a seat early, and he didn't get off until the terminal, so he didn't worry about getting off the bus at all, he looked at the traffic outside the window and began to recall his life.
I have been mixed up since I was a child, and I finally got mixed up until I graduated from college and wanted to take a good break for two years, but my parents wanted him to inherit the coffee house that had trapped them all their lives. They are retired to enjoy life, but they are bound to it.
Thinking about it, Qin Feng fell into a trance, until his feet were knocked a few times by something. Qin Feng returned to reality from his memories, he turned his head and saw that there was an old man in his sixties standing next to him, he was holding a cane in his hand, and the other hand was struggling to hold the handrail, Qin Feng saw that the old man accidentally hit him because the bus was shaking, he saw that there were young people who were about the same age as him in front of him and behind him, they must have spotted this old man before themselves, but they did not give up their seats.
Qin Feng saw the old man's struggling appearance, so he got up from his seat and said that he would let the old man sit. But a middle-aged man next to the old man saw Qin Feng get up and thought he was going to get out of the car, so he sat down in Qin Feng's place, turned his head to look out the window, and said that he didn't know anything.
Qin Feng was so angry in his heart, he opened his mouth to let the middle-aged man get up and let the old man sit there. But the middle-aged man was unmoved, Qin Feng also felt helpless, and the people around him didn't seem to see it. Qin Feng looked at the old man helplessly, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart, but what could he do, he was just an ordinary person, and he couldn't do anything at all.
After a few more stops, the crowd finally dispersed, the car became empty, Qin Feng sat in the seat, he was not reminiscing about the past, but thinking about it, if he was old in the future, what should he do if he encountered this situation. Thinking about it, he fell asleep, and in the dream he dreamed that he had become a patrol envoy in the underworld, specializing in supervising the injustices in the world, and Xiao Hei Xiaobai, Xiao Rou and Xue also became a ghost in the underworld to help him complete this great task.
Soon he was woken up by the driver, saying that the terminal had arrived, telling him to get off the bus quickly, they were going to overhaul the vehicle.
Qin Feng got off the bus, bought some fruit at the fruit stall on the side of the road and carried it to his parents' house, he looked at everything he was familiar with in front of him, and always felt that something was wrong.
Take out the key to open the door, his parents must have gone out for a walk, maybe at this time in the morning tea, he took out an apple from the fruit he bought, washed it and came to his room, the layout has not changed, turn on the computer, there are still games that he liked at the beginning, but the last time he opened it was a year ago. Qin Feng was not in the mood to play games, he turned off the computer and lay on the bed, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Qin Feng fell asleep, and he dreamed again that he had become an inspector, and I don't know how long it took, Qin Feng's parents came back, and they bought a lot of vegetables, as if they had something happy about.
"Xiaofeng, are you back? Then we are going to call you and ask you to come back" Qin Feng's mother saw that she came out of the room, with a smile on her face, and then went to work in the kitchen. Qin Feng's father sat on the sofa and watched the news. Qin Feng also sat on the sofa and hurriedly asked his father what happened.
"You are also not a small child, but you are busy with the affairs of the coffee house all day long, so I discussed a family affair with your mother, the girl is not bad, and you have seen it, and the girl's parents have no objections, so on the eighth of next month, you put down the things in your hand and get married, at least find something for me and your mother to do" Qin Feng's father watched the news on TV, without any tone of discussion with Qin Feng, in his opinion, Qin Feng's marriage is a very casual thing.
"Are you going to decide what I want to do? I don't have any problems, but I want to know who that girl is? Qin Feng was only surprised when he heard this, but he didn't lose control of his emotions, everything he did since he was a child was taken care of by his parents, and he had no chance to resist at all.
"That girl is Xiao Rou, her parents have also seen you, and they think you are okay, our two families took the time to talk today" Qin Feng's father did not feel the slightest guilt and discussion, as if Qin Feng should still thank him.
When Qin Feng heard that he was going to marry Xiao Rou, an image of Xiao Rou wearing a blue maid outfit with her hands on her stomach and bending over slightly to salute suddenly flashed in his mind, Qin Feng shook his head, how could he have such thoughts, he didn't have those strange hobbies.
Next, Qin Feng and his father didn't say a word, and at the dinner table, Qin Feng's parents were discussing marriage, Qin Feng didn't say a word, this meal was very depressing for Qin Feng. He didn't think the meal was very good. After eating, Qin Feng said goodbye to his parents and took the bus back to the coffee house alone.
When they returned to the coffee house, Xiaohei Xiaobai had already returned from school, they were doing homework on a desk, and Lianxue was also playing with her mobile phone behind the cash register and watching videos. But Xiao Rou was nowhere to be seen.
"Mercy Xue, where's Xiaorou?" Qin Feng didn't see Xiao Rou on the first floor, usually she was teaching Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to do her homework, but today it was Xiao Bai teaching Xiao Hei.
"Boss, you're back, Sister Xiaorou left after receiving a call at noon, it seems that her parents called her" Lian Xue saw her boss coming back, looking at herself outside the cash register, and hurriedly hid her mobile phone, and was caught playing with her mobile phone during work hours, so it's no wonder that her salary is not deducted.
Qin Feng didn't say anything, just walked upstairs with a hum, and waited until he was almost on the second floor to say, "You get off work early today, there is a hundred yuan in the drawer, and you will be a bonus" Qin Feng's voice disappeared for a long time before she reacted, opened the drawer and found that there was indeed a hundred yuan inside, so she took Xiao Hei Xiaobai to eat something delicious.
On the second floor, Qin Feng felt a headache, and Xiao Rou must have told him the news of his marriage when she went back. But she is still a girl who has just graduated from college, and now it is not the arranged marriage that she used to have, she will definitely resist, and what if she resigns in a fit of anger when the time comes.
The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more headache he felt, and Xiao Rou's appearance in various maid outfits kept flashing in his mind, as if he had seen it himself. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and finally fell asleep, he didn't know how long he slept, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and walked gently to the side of his bed, Qin Feng frowned, at this time, Xiao Hei Xiaobai should have been asleep, Lian Xue will definitely not be in the coffee house at night, could it be that Xiao Rou is back.
Qin Feng opened his eyes and sat up from the bed, looking at the side of the bed with a surprised expression, holding Xiao Rou who was about to cover himself with the quilt in his hand, Qin Feng felt that his head hurt again.
"Old, boss, you haven't fallen asleep yet?" Xiao Rou didn't dare to look at Qin Feng after reacting, her face began to turn red and hot, as soon as she got home, she heard her parents talk to her about marrying her boss, she was surprised at first, then angry, and had a big quarrel with her parents, but her parents' attitude was very resolute. Xiao Rou hid in her room and cried for an afternoon, and finally she still accepted her fate, her parents only had one only daughter of herself, and it was impossible to cut off relations with them, so Xiao Rou also accepted her fate, not to mention that her boss was actually not bad, but she didn't know what he thought. So she returned to the coffee house at night and saw the open door of the boss's room, she saw that Qin Feng didn't cover the quilt, so she wanted to cover him with the quilt before leaving, but she didn't expect the boss to fall asleep.
Xiao Rou's face looked bright and attractive in the light, but Qin Feng didn't want to bully Xiao Rou, just asked her to go back and rest well, and not think too much.
Xiao Rou agreed, then ran out of Qin Feng's room with a red face, returned to his room and closed the door and lay on the bed, buried his red face in the quilt, and screamed silently with excitement, and then fell asleep with a stupid smile.
