"Alas, I'm exhausted."

The store manager pushed the door and took off his black motorcycle helmet, the key ring dangling in his hand. The hand flicked his hair casually, revealing that grim face.

At that time, K saw the store manager and became interested. Crossed hands hurriedly spread out, put on the cash register, leaned forward: "What to drink?" ”

"I'll make it myself." The store manager put his helmet aside and walked straight to K, whispering in words that only the two of them could hear.

"Alas, the rent has risen again this month."

K raised his eyebrows: "How much has it risen?" ”

The store manager pursed his lips and did not speak. I just spread out K's palm and scratched it inside.

"A hundred?" K to a finger, indicating incredible.

Unbeknownst to him, the store manager shook his head again, grabbed his palm, and slowly scratched next to the "1" just now.

K was about to stick out two fingers, but the manager shook his head again, left an unfathomable smile, and turned to go into the back kitchen.

The four fingers curled back slightly, and the fingertips pressed against the traces that the store manager had just scratched, rubbing them, and they were even more puzzled.

At this moment, the store manager lifted the curtain and poked his head out: "The cat is yours?" ”

"Well, I didn't like to run out." The head of the house, Z, put Xiaobai on the table, and Xiaobai's fur immediately fluffed up to the table and trembled. It doesn't seem to be very happy that others will touch it.

I poked its tail, it shook, I poked again, it shook again, I still wanted to poke, Xiaobai's tail slapped on my hand. I had to withdraw my hand tremblingly and pick up the oolong tea instead.

But suddenly he held his head on K, tilted his head to look at me teasing the cat, and was very interested.

With a shake of my hand, one hand came up in front of me, blocking K's view.

"What are you looking at?" The store manager withdrew his hand and smiled.

At this moment, the guest in the middle shouted outward, "Boss, two cups of kumquat Yilito." ”

"Okay, come on—" The boss replied as he looked inside, his gaze returning to K, and raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing." K raised his eyes, glanced at the store manager, and turned to go inside to mix drinks.

I had just finished drinking a cup of oolong tea in my hand, and the rest of the ice cubes were creaked by me.

My friend P came forward and saw me poking and poking with a straw, and couldn't bear it: "The ice cube didn't provoke you, why should you practice it." ”

"It's fun, decompress." I proceeded to pinch the ice cubes.

The head of the house, Z, picked up the cat on the side, watched the two of us continue to make trouble, and couldn't help frowning: "Still playing, walked back." ”

"Oh." I got up and said hello to the store manager.

The store manager nodded: "Don't forget your box." ”

"Oh, yes." As soon as my friend P remembered, he went back to get the glass bottle that he had just put aside.

Now that Xiaobai has found it, how can he say that he should return it after raising it for so long, and he will lose it again after saving it. Therefore, when I said goodbye to the dormitory leader Z at the intersection of the dormitory, I naturally stretched out my hand and prepared to hug Xiaobai.

Unexpectedly, the head of the house, Z, didn't see anything, and looked ahead and walked in with Xiaobai in his arms.

Me: "......"

I was overwhelmed with my outstretched hand.

The head of the house hugged Xiaobai tightly: "What's the matter, is there anything else?" ”

"That...... Shouldn't you give me back the cat, I'll go back to the errand......" I was slightly embarrassed.

"Did she let me pay it back?" The head of the house, Z, had no expression on his face.

"That...... It doesn't seem to be. "I scratched my temples.

"But! You think, if it gets lost again, you still have to pay it to others, it's better to pay it back now, you can save a lot of money on cat food, right? "I tried to convince the head of the house.

After all, the head of the house, Z, said that he wanted to raise Xiaobai on his behalf, and he was willing to pay for the cat food and cat litter cat toys at his own expense.

"That's right...... too"

The head of the house, Z, looked at me with a pious face, then looked at the cat that was napping, hesitated for a while, and reluctantly handed it out.

I happily took it, but the head of the house, Z, hugged Xiaobai and changed his posture, and walked in without looking back.

"You tell your roommate that the cat is lost, and get a new one for her another day." The head of the house waved his hand, and his voice faded away.

Me: "......"

Empty handed......

"I can't help it." Friend P hugged the vase and expressed helplessness: "I'm afraid I won't come back, so you better tell you A as soon as possible." ”

Reluctantly took out his mobile phone, thinking about sending a text message, but unexpectedly he answered a call.

"Hello? Who? What's up? ”

"I, your senior brother, hit the money!" A crisp voice blew up from the other end of the phone.

I was suspicious for a while, and saw that the remark on my mobile phone was "that Xiao Chen", and I was on a voice call......

I looked at my friend P in front of me in surprise, and my friend P looked at me suspiciously.

"Senior Brother Xiao Chen! How did you call! I exclaimed into my phone.

Senior Brother Xiaochen's voice was still cheap: "If I don't reply to a few text messages from you, I'll call the voice, okay, I'm running out of traffic, I'll talk to you by text." ”

As he spoke, the guy actually hung up the phone first.

"Senior brother is back?" Friend P also seems to hear who the other party is.

"I don't know, it seems to be." I clicked on the chat interface, and sure enough, I saw several unread messages popping up.

"Is their internship that short?" Friend P expressed doubts.

It stands to reason that it's only the end of November, and I'll have to come back next month.

According to the senior brother himself, the duration of his internship is six months, and if it is counted, it will have to be in February next year. This time it's just a holiday, come back to solve some trivial things after graduation, and by the way, meet old friends for a while.

After all, when he was away, the chess club was changed, and the senior brother always had to take a look at the new members, and the quality of the new seedlings would leave with confidence.

However, it is still Wednesday, and the senior brother said that he will only be back on Friday, so let me know in advance.

"Then did you tell Ah Jiu?" I say.

After all, Senior Brother and Ah Jiu are two good friends in the chess club, I guess, Senior Brother should have told him in advance,

Unexpectedly, the senior brother said that he hadn't yet.

"The first thing I thought about was you, little junior sister, how could you not be moved." The senior brother said cheaply: "It's the same if you go and talk to him, if you don't say it, give him a surprise." ”

Surprise......

I touched my chin, and said "uh-huh" on my mouth, thinking to myself, it would be better to tell Ah Jiu earlier, so as not to give others a scare.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I was just about to leave, only to see my friend P still staring at me suspiciously.

"What's the matter, you still want to go with me?" I blinked, teasing.

Friend P "cut" and shook his head bitterly: "It seems that you have learned badly from your senior brother." ”

"No, no, no." I shook my head, too, "I learned from you." ”

Friend P didn't believe it: "Don't frame me, I'm a dignified person." ”

"Really?" I crossed my fingers: "For example, drinking and splitting dice, staying up all night, climbing over the wall, skipping class and impostoring...... Didn't you teach me? Ouch! ”

Before he finished counting, he was shocked by his friend P: "I don't talk about so many advantages, what the hell are you learning!" ”

"I ......"

"Alright, alright." Friend P held the glass vase and raised her head slightly: "Turn back to me and thank her." ”

"Okay." I made an OK gesture to know who my friend P was referring to.

The friend P walked all the way, holding the glass bottle and having fun.

"I didn't expect that woman to be so righteous......"
