Chapter 12: Old Friends

Under the clear sky, a dark blue town appeared before his eyes, its flat shape resembling the symbol of a power switch. Yang Qingnan could see the flow of people walking inside, and he could even hear the shouts of roadside vendors.

According to a medicine farmer who went up to the mountains to collect medicine, the town that connects to the port is the town of Rade. Originally, it was just a small and inconspicuous village, but since Rad arrived, it has grown rapidly, and gradually became known to the world as it is today.

Yang Qingnan didn't really care about this, because he was tired, thirsty and had no money now, and he just wanted to find a place to live. The medicine farmer said then you go, there are hundreds of families in the town, don't worry about finding a job, you can pick a random job, and you can earn enough money to buy lottery tickets in a few days.

"Heh, uncle, if I can go up, you can also go up, what kind of medicine will you go up the mountain to collect?"

Yang Qingnan was just joking, but the medicine farmer was obviously not happy: "Go, go!" Don't here! ”

He didn't expect this uncle's temper to be so big, so he didn't dare to answer, and went straight down the mountain after saying goodbye.

The way down the mountain is much easier than the road up the mountain, and after a while, Yang Qingnan walked to the foot of the mountain, and then, a burst of flower fragrance came to his nose.

A high wall was built outside the town, and glass sheets were hidden on the top to prevent the invasion of beasts. Its façade is a double door, unguarded, always open during the day, and the majestic human figures on both sides come to life, as if to warn of something.

Of course, no one would pay special attention to Yang Qingnan when he walked in generously, in fact, the clothes everyone wore were basically the same. Even if there are some differences, it doesn't matter, there are often strange people gathered here to say strange things.

A few meters from the entrance of the town, there was a square store, and Yang Qingnan pretended to miss it, not even daring to look at the boxes of drinks piled up inside. A local fruit and drink shop is across the road, but Yang Qingnan also misses it, hey, he really misses eating and drinking in the Sak tribe.

A young man dressed as a third-rate man walked in front of him, tossing a coin in his hand, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Yang Qingnan. Yang Qingnan's face changed, and he subconsciously touched his pocket, but fortunately, the coins on his body were still there.

At first, he thought that the island was untouched and that there was no trade. But when he came here, he realized that he was wrong, and he was as overwhelmed as if he had suddenly knocked on the door of a new world. So, he picked up the money, and yes, he went to the beach himself to find all the coins he had lost, and shamelessly exchanged all the small coins for paper money.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because he was so excited.

After about twenty minutes, Yang Qingnan stood in front of a well-decorated café for a long time, and after thinking for a moment about the door number, he stepped forward and walked in.

The interior of the store is decorated in a blue-and-yellow southern style, reflecting the cool exotic atmosphere of summer, and the music player by the water platform is operating, filled with a cheerful slow tempo tune.

Yang Qingnan casually found a window seat and sat down, and at this time, another guest was already dining diagonally opposite him. The waiters at the café were two girls dressed as maids, and the red one was brushing his glass on the water table, glancing at him from time to time out of the corner of his eye.

Yang Qingnan looked at his poor and sour appearance to know the reason, his clothes had not been changed, and there was a slight smell wafting out, and even a little faded. The bath must be washed, otherwise he would not be embarrassed to sit here and ask for food.

The girl in purple didn't have any dislike, and still came over to talk to him with a smile.

"What do you need, sir?" She asked stiffly, her smile a little stiff.

"Uh, I'll think about it......" Yang Qingnan's gaze stayed on the menu, scratching the back of his head with his right hand, "That, just give me a glass of boiled water, thank you." ”

The girl was obviously taken aback and asked in a low voice, "Is there really no need for anything else?" ”

"Well, there's a problem?"

"No, no." After speaking, the girl bowed to him, "Please wait a moment." ”

A glass of water was brought to the table, Yang Qingnan drank it all in one gulp, but he had doubts, and he immediately stopped the purple-clothed girl who was about to leave.

"Wait, how is the water you gave me lukewarm?"

The girl was startled, she turned around, and explained methodically, "Sir, this is because you ordered boiled water as soon as you entered the door, and you didn't need anything else, so I thought that you must be very thirsty, and you don't have much change with you." ”

She said Yang Qingnan's difficulties in one sentence, but her expression did not change, as if she was talking about an inconsequential matter. What surprised him even more was that there was no falsehood in her attentive eyes.

Yang Qingnan nodded undeniably: "It's true." ”

"Then I'll give you another drink."

"Ah, no." Yang Qingnan saw her panic, "Little sister, what's your name?" ”

"It's Violet, well, that's right."

"That's a nice name." Maybe it's just a code name or something, and the hair also has a faint purple color. Yang Qingnan asked her to pour another glass of water.

The same glass was served, but this time the water was full.

"Although the water is free, you're making your own decisions, aren't you?" He smiled wryly.

"It's okay, the store manager won't blame."

"What are you talking about violet?" As soon as she finished speaking, a fashionably dressed mature woman appeared behind her, "What were you and this guest twittering just now?" ”

Violet didn't answer, she lowered her head and was silent.

"I just talked to her a little bit, and it's nothing."

"But she's too enthusiastic, and she'll snub the other guests." The store manager was polite, and she gave Violet a quick glance, "Look, my jaw almost fell to the ground." ”

"I'm sorry, I'll pick it up." She bowed again, then slowly walked away.

"Hehe, this gentleman, you have a smile."

The female store manager looked the strange customer up and down with bad intentions, and the corners of her mouth slowly raised a flirtatious smile. Yang Qingnan saw that his heart was furious, so he opened his mouth to interrupt her.

"Uh, is there something on my face?"

"It feels familiar, have I seen you somewhere?"

"Hey, don't scare me." Yang Qingnan was startled, he leaned back in his chair, "I don't remember we ever met." ”

"Huh, hahaha...... That's the expression. Suddenly, she burst out laughing, and then said a name lightly, "Isn't it?" A highly talented student at Tokyo Medical University? ”

"Damn! No way? Could it be that you are Yu Kui? Yang Qingnan's mouth opened wide, he didn't expect to meet his old classmates here, and he still looked like this.

"You remember me, we shouldn't have seen each other in over a year, right?"

"No, it's been two years, and I dropped out of school halfway through." They used to be classmates in the same class who got along day and night, and they weren't friends. When Yang Qingnan first saw her, he thought she was a weak type of bird, but now she has completely changed and is almost unrecognizable.

"Eh, why? You're a pretty good learner. ”

"That's because my dad is a doctor, so I have some foundation, but I'm not interested in medicine."

"Speaking of which, I realized that I didn't study well, medicine was not the same as I imagined, and I didn't do it after the internship." Hanai said as she pulled a chair and sat down.

She wore light makeup, her black hair curled back, but her sitting position remained the same as before. Yang Qingnan stared at the other party's face for a long time, then picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"So now switch to desserts? Yo, the façade is pretty good. ”

"Oh, the most important thing in this industry is craftsmanship, only when the beauty, fragrance and taste are done well can this store be opened. Since it was an old classmate visiting, I had to treat it to myself. Hakui stood up, her back straight, and smiled professionally.

Yang Qingnan didn't know what she was going to do, so he was a little nervous, so he just heard her say, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Whatever, as long as you can fill your stomach." He said embarrassedly.

"yes, I see."
