Chapter 35: "The Bad Guest".
Florence shook her head and said in confusion, "Sorry......"
Seeing Florence's confused look, Jingzhi continued to patiently explain, "That's it...... There is a dividing line in the middle...... Belch...... The upper layer is a clear light pink liquid...... The lower layer is a mixture of dark purple and dark red liquid...... What is its name? Can you help me point me on the menu? I'd like to order another drink. Thank you ......."
Hearing Jingzhi say this, Florence asked very uneasily, "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly, Ms Chen, what do you mean?" ”
Although Jingzhi has an English name, she always wants others to call her by her Chinese name. As a sign of respect for her customers, Florence usually calls her Ms Chen in the store.
Jingzhi thought for a few seconds, then continued to explain, saying, "I want to order a drink that is exactly the same as the one on the table. However, I didn't know its name. As for the drink, the upper layer is a clear light pink, and the lower layer is a mixture of dark purple and dark red, with a dividing line in the middle. Could you please point me out on the menu? Thank you. ”
Poor Florence, she still doesn't understand what Jingzhi wants to drink. With an aggrieved tone, she said, "Ms Chen, isn't the drink you just ordered hot chocolate?" You told me that yourself, didn't you? ”
At this moment, Jason, who sensed the awkward atmosphere here, strode over and asked Florence carefully what was going on.
Florence was confused, and briefly explained to Jason what had just happened.
Jason suddenly understood. He gently patted Florence on the shoulder twice, shrugged her shoulders, and said to her, "It's not your fault. It's all to blame for not arranging it. ”
Florence heard Jason's words with a relieved expression and whispered, "I'm sorry......"
"Don't worry!" Jason comforted Florence and said, "The lady next to me is a 'bad customer'. You'd better give her to me! ”
After listening to Jason's words, Florence shook her head slightly, took a deep breath, and said to Jason with gratitude: "Thank you......"
Jason didn't say anything more, just grimaced at Florence.
Seeing Jason's "cynical" look, Florence burst out laughing. Thinking of Jingzhi, she immediately put away her smile again, respectfully owed her body, and turned to leave.
Jason's words just now were a reassurance to Florence, but Jingzhi was "carrying the black pot", and Jingzhi was of course very unhappy. For half a minute after Florence left, she crossed her arms over her chest, her back straight, her eyes unblinking, and she kept staring at Jason, pressuring him.
may have just said a bad word about her in front of Jingzhi, and now Jason is very weak-hearted. With a tentative tone, he whispered, "What?" Unhappy again? ”
Jingzhi said coldly with a little resentment: "This gentleman, I think I am still a magnanimous person, and it is the first time that I have been said to be a 'bad guest'!" ”
"Haha!" Jason smirked and said, "I really have to make a statement right away when you remind me of that." In my heart, you are really a 'bad guest'. ”
Hearing him say this, Jingzhi felt even more incredible. With a skeptical tone, she continued coldly: "Okay, you can tell me, why am I 'not good at serving'? As she spoke, she blinked her eyes, always staring at Jason, her eyes were also tired, and she needed to take a break, "If you have a point, then I will admit it, and I will never talk back!" ”
A rare serious expression appeared on Jason's face. He stood there, his back straight, and said to Jingzhi in an extremely sincere tone, "Florence is a girl who has just started college. She is still young and doesn't have much social experience, so if she can't handle your request for a while, you shouldn't have trouble with her. When I came over just now, I saw her aggrieved expression, and I thought about quickly finding a reason to send her away. I just casually made a little joke. I don't think there's anything wrong with me doing that. If you're still serious about this, you're really 'not good to serve'! ”
Jingzhi understood what Jason meant, changed her relatively gentle tone, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean to embarrass Florence at all. I'm not a 'bad customer'. ”
"That's good!" Hearing Jingzhi say this, Jason was visibly more relaxed, "Florence is a hardworking and capable girl. Although she is not very old, she works very hard. You don't want to embarrass her, it's certainly not a 'bad guest'" After saying that, Jason owed himself and thanked him with body language.
Seeing Jason's "serious" apology, Jingzhi suddenly realized that he was a rather responsible young man. I was still angry with him just now, but now I am impressed with him!
Thinking of this, Jingzhi added: "You're right, Florence is indeed hardworking and cute, I like her too late, how can I embarrass her!" ”
"That's good...... That'...... good," Jason thanked again, "Leave it to me what you just need her to do." It should be much easier for you to explain to me in Chinese. ”
At this time, Jingzhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Originally, she just wanted to order a drink, but it ended up like this. She handed Jason the menu of drinks on the table and said tactfully, "I just wanted to order another drink of the kind you just sent me, but I don't know which one is printed on this menu." I had to ask Florence, but she didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. ”
Now, Jason fully understands what Jingzhi means. At the same time, he also knew why Florence was completely overwhelmed when she heard Jingzhi's words.
He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said "pretending to be calm": "The drink you drank just now was specially made for you by me, and there is no ...... on the menu at all."
Hearing the words "specially prepared for you", Jingzhi's heart rippled with layers of waves, slapping passionately against the sun-tanned sand on the shore.
"You? Specially concocted for me? Jingzhi said with a little excitement.
"Hmm......" Jason nodded slightly in embarrassment. The golden bangs on his forehead were rhythmically patting his forehead, making the few beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from his forehead clearly visible.
Two seconds later, Jason continued to add in all seriousness: "To apologize is to have an apology. Giving you a casual drink from the menu would be insincere, right? ”
"......" Jingzhi was moved by Jason's sincerity and was speechless for a while.
Seeing that Jingzhi didn't speak for a long time, Jason hurriedly helped her find the bottom of the stairs and said gently: "Since you want to order another drink that is exactly the same as the one just now, it means that you think it tastes good." I guess so, right? ”
Jingzhi didn't come back to her senses, but just spit out two words from her mouth like a robot: "That's right......"
"Haha!" Jason smirked, "So you like to drink the drink I just made for you!" This is easy to do! I'll bring you another drink later! Wait a minute, I'll be back right away! ”
After saying that, Jason took the menu in his hand and left in a hurry.
