"Hey, I see your face is red! You...... Do you feel too hot? Do you want me to turn on the air conditioner? Suddenly, a voice reached Jingzhi's ears, interrupting her thoughts.

Jingzhi felt that the voice was both "unfamiliar" and "familiar".

"Strange" because the owner of this voice is definitely not Jingzhi's friend or relative; "Familiar" is because Jingzhi has just heard this voice and feels very familiar.

Jingzhi thought about it, raised her head, and looked at the young man in front of her. She said very tactfully, "Thank you." I don't think you need to turn on the air conditioner because I'm not hot at all. My face was a little red because I had just rushed to this restaurant, panting all the time. ”

After listening to Jingzhi's explanation, this person had no intention of turning around and leaving at all. On the contrary, he stood straighter, more steady, and more energetic.

He said unhurriedly, "Oh? You rushed over just to eat at this restaurant? As he spoke, he burst out laughing, "Haha! The boss will be happy to hear what you just said! ”

When he said this, Jingzhi was very embarrassed.

In fact, Jingzhi told a little lie, she didn't come in a hurry, but walked leisurely on the side of the road for a long time before deciding to settle down here and have lunch.

The man mentioned the boss, which once again aroused Jingzhi's curiosity. She hesitated for a few seconds, but finally asked curiously, "You just mentioned the owner of this shop?" Are you close to your boss? ”

"Me? With the boss? Close? Of course! He replied crisply, not at all like he was lying.

"Then you ......" Jingzhi hesitated for two seconds and said, "Is it ...... His...... Relatives? ”

"Me? Relatives? Boss? Ha ha! After listening to what Jingzhi said, the waiter couldn't hold back for a while, and suddenly burst out laughing, like a naughty child.

With a friendly glint in his eyes, he said, "I'm not a relative of the boss. What about my relationship with my boss......" The man hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I guess it's a friend." ”

"You're not a relative of the boss?" Jingzhi pursed her lower lips and said embarrassedly, "I saw the way you mentioned the boss, and I thought it was ......."

"Haha!" The person in front of Jingzhi smiled even more "unscrupulously". He looked like a child, and with great effort, he finally got his favorite toy, and he was playing with it in his hand, and he couldn't put it down.

Jingzhi's face was a little unhappy, and she said, "Isn't it a little rude for you to smile like this?" The first time I saw a waiter, he actually smiled at a customer. However, seeing that you are new here, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Don't worry, I won't complain to my boss. ”

When the man in front of him heard what Jingzhi said, he immediately put away a kind smile and said very anxiously: "Don't, don't mention me to the boss." Otherwise, I'll have to explain a lot...... You...... Don't be angry, I'm just too happy...... I didn't expect you to care about me...... No...... "It's not ......," the man suddenly turned red and stammered, "yes...... It's you who think I'm a relative of the boss...... I was surprised...... I didn't hold back...... You...... You won't ...... Really mind, right? ”

Jingzhi didn't expect that although this person stammered, his logic was quite strict and he couldn't find any flaws. She looked at him and shrugged helplessly, indicating that she had forgiven him for his "faux pas".

Jingzhi has never been in the habit of talking to strangers, and she doesn't want to talk about anything more. So, she said calmly: "Since you say so, then I won't complain anything to the boss." Just don't worry, I won't give you trouble from the boss. ”

"Looking for trouble?" The man almost burst out laughing again when he heard the word "trouble."

He suddenly remembered Jingzhi's unhappy appearance just now, and immediately straightened his face and said "seriously": "Thank you......"

The man hesitated for a second, and with a full apology, continued, "I only came here to work recently, and I occasionally make mistakes...... That one...... Please don't take it personally! You don't know me, but believe me, I ...... I'm definitely not a bad person......"

Jingzhi looked intently at the sincere person in front of her, and easily felt his apology.

She smiled and said in a reassuring tone, "Don't be nervous, I'm sure you're not a bad person." Since you're not a relative of your boss, there's always a name. ”

"Me?" There was a slight excitement in the man's voice, "Everyone calls me Jason!" ”

“Jason？” Jingzhi smiled and repeated.

"Hmmm! Jason！ The man smiled and repeated.

Jingzhi wasn't sure of her guess, so she asked in a very tactful tone, "You...... Is it British? ”

"I'm talking to you about Mandarin Chinese, how can I be British?" Jason asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Then you are ......" Jingzhi was interrupted by Jason before she could continue.

"Authentic Chinese," Jason still smiled, "although my mother is British, my father is Chinese." Moreover, I was born and raised in China. ”

"No wonder!" Jingzhi kept blinking her sparkling eyes, as if she had suddenly solved a big problem, and sighed, "I see! ”

"A lot of people think I'm British." As he spoke, Jason smiled and touched the golden bangs on his forehead, "But it doesn't matter, as long as I have a Chinese passport." ”

Hearing Jason say this, Jingzhi also laughed and said, "Haha, that's ...... too"

As the two chatted with each other, the number of people in the restaurant gradually increased.

Jason had to go to another table to greet the other guests.

As for Jingzhi, she sat there alone and ate with relish.

Now she finally let go of the doubts in her heart, knowing that the strange man she suspected just now was not an "international agent", just an ordinary waiter.

He's just coming to work and hasn't fully adapted yet.

After eating, Florence ran over and took away the utensils on the table.

"Need something?" Florence asked softly.

"Not at the moment. Thank you. Jingzhi had just eaten and drunk enough, and now her stomach couldn't hold anything.

After Florence left, Jingzhi took out the book she had just read from her bag. When she was just eating, Jingzhi was afraid of breaking the book, so she kept it in her bag.

This is a new book that Jingzhi just bought recently: "Jane Eyre" by British writer Charlotte Brontë.

She gently held the book in the palm of her hand, turned the page with the bookmark in it, and continued to read it where she had just been.

After a long time, a "strange" and "familiar" voice sounded in Jingzhi's ears again: "Huh? The English version of Jane Eyre? Did you like this novel by Charlotte Brontë? ”

Jingzhi raised her head, and sure enough, it was Jason! He is a person, if he is described as "elusive", it is really accurate! He always appears out of nowhere, catching Jingzhi off guard.

"yes, Jane Eyre, I bought it recently, I'll take a look at it when I take a break. A combination of work and rest! How? Have you read this book too? ”

"Me?" Jason was a little flattered by Jingzhi's question. He nodded stiffly and said coolly: "I read this English novel a few times when I was in high school. I haven't watched it for a long time, and I can't remember many plots anymore. ”

"I saw it when I was in high school?" Jingzhi was a little overjoyed, "It's pretty good." I watched it a few times when I was in high school, but at that time I read a translation from Chinese. ”

"Oh? Chinese version? You...... Like this book? Jason asked curiously, "Are you a fan of Charlotte Brontë?" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Jingzhi's face was filled with happiness, and Jane Eyre was one of my favorite English novels.

"Jane Eyre...... "Jane Eyre...... "Jane Eyre......" Jason didn't say anything else, just kept muttering, "Jane Eyre...... "Jane Eyre......"
