Chapter 193: The Old Man
Liu Yaoxi hurriedly raised his head and looked ahead. A familiar and somewhat unfamiliar face suddenly appeared from behind the female clerk, smiling all over her face. Although the man looked a little vicissitudes, he still couldn't hide his surprise.
"Eh, boss!" Liu Yaoxi also called out.
"Long time no see." The boss said in surprise.
"Ah, Aang." Liu Yaoxi also smiled.
"Come on, come on, is it still Oreo milk tea?" The boss hurriedly squeezed to the front desk and pushed the female clerk aside. Liu Yaoxi looked at the female clerk who was squeezed aside and looked confused, and couldn't help but smile in her heart.
"Hmm." Liu Yaoxi agreed, and then reminded with a smile, "Remember to add pearls." ”
"Of course." The boss responded with a smile, then turned around and said to the only female clerk, "Oreo milk tea with pearls." ”
"Oh." The female clerk nodded solemnly, and then immediately ran to the back to prepare.
"Sit." The boss said with a smile again and walked out.
"Hmm." Liu Yaoxi also sat on the wall next to the front desk with dignity. And the boss sat down and sat across from him.
"Eh, why do you look younger?" The boss asked with a smile as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Ah......" Liu Yaoxi quickly turned his brain, slightly embarrassed and pretended to be proud, "Is there one?" I don't think I'm old. Liu Yaoxi quickly entered the role, and now he is 23 years old.
"Where do you work now?" The boss asked again, "I haven't seen you in a long time." ”
"I'm working in S City now." Liu Yaoxi casually said a city, and even Liu Yaoxi himself didn't realize that he was actually right, "I only come to see it occasionally." ”
"Well, that's good." The boss smiled again.
"After all these years, you haven't changed much here." Liu Yaoxi began to look around the store again, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, I don't have much to do all day long, so it's good to open a small bubble tea shop here." The boss responded with a smile.
"Look at the clerks have changed batch after batch, and your boss has not changed." Liu Yaoxi also laughed and teased.
"Well, usually I come here with young people who don't work for a few years and then leave. Some of them are okay and will come back to see me occasionally. The boss's smile narrowed slightly, "But part of it is almost gone." ”
"Your Oreos, do you want to drink them now or take them away?" The female clerk asked from behind the front desk.
"Drink now." Liu Yaoxi quickly replied.
"That's it, I've just arrived." The boss turned his head slightly and pouted at the female clerk, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Although I sometimes mess things up, most of the time I am quite diligent." ”
"Where?" The female clerk was a little angry and put the cup of milk tea in front of Liu Yaoxi.
"Thank you." Liu Yaoxi still thanked him. Now he is already panicking, for fear that someone will suddenly appear and expose him.
"Eh, you haven't found a girlfriend yet, have you?" The boss's sudden question stunned Liu Yaoxi, and Liu Yaoxi was stunned.
"Ah...... Aang, not yet. Liu Yaoxi replied with some sneer.
"Hey, what do you think of us Xiaoshan?" The boss suddenly pouted at the female clerk who was tidying up the front desk, and there was some gossip in her eyes.
"This, don't." Liu Yaoxi smiled awkwardly.
"What? Still can't see it? The boss squinted at him.
"No, no, no." Liu Yaoxi hurriedly waved his hand, "It's just that now, I don't think much about it......" Liu Yaoxi already felt a faint pain in his heart.
"How old a person, I don't have a girlfriend yet." The boss said again.
"Oh, take your time." Liu Yaoxi continued to smile awkwardly, softening the atmosphere.
"Either way." The boss smiled and waved his hand gently, "It's your own business, you can solve it yourself, others can't force it." ”
"Hmm." Liu Yaoxi pretended to be very mature, nodded in agreement, and then looked down at the milk tea in front of him and took a sip.
"They should still be studying at night." The boss suddenly spoke again.
"Hmm." Liu Yaoxi echoed, and then said, "I came to take a fresh look at my alma mater, but I was kicked out by the security guards as soon as I walked to the school gate. Liu Yaoxi said with a wry smile, as if all this was true. But after thinking about it carefully, Liu Yaoxi didn't seem to be lying.
"Haha, after all, at this point, they haven't finished school yet, they can wait here, and maybe meet your teacher." The boss said with a smile again.
"Not bad, either." Liu Yaoxi also smiled politely, and after speaking, he took another sip of milk tea in front of him.
"Then stay by yourself, I've got something to do." The boss stood up as he said to Liu Yaoxi, turned around and left.
"Hmm." Liu Yaoxi responded, and then watched the boss walk to the backstage and disappeared from Liu Yaoxi's field of vision.
"Eh, do you know your boss?" The female clerk walked out of the front desk and asked the only customer in the entire store.
"Aang." Liu Yaoxi was stunned. He vaguely remembered that the boss called her just now, as if it was Xiaoshan. Nickname it. Liu Yaoxi thought so.
"How did you know each other?" Xiao Shan asked again, and then naturally sat opposite Liu Yaoxi.
"Nothing." Liu Yaoxi smiled lightly, "It's just that I have often come to take care of business, and I have gradually become familiar with this back and forth." ”
"Seeing that you are only a high school student, how can you ......" she seemed a little skeptical.
Liu Yaoxi suddenly thought badly, and hurriedly spoke, but he didn't act so flustered, he just smiled awkwardly: "You look young, you may grow a little slowly." ”
"How old are you now?" She asked again.
Liu Yaoxi couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself, Are you sincere in driving me away? So many questions?!
"Twenty-three." Liu Yaoxi replied lightly.
"I really can't see it, I'm only a high school student." She frowned again.
"If you don't believe it, forget it." Liu Yaoxi pursed his lips, "It's good if you're a high school student, I still want to go back to high school." Liu Yaoxi calmly said the truth.
"Okay." She replied skeptically. However, Liu Yaoxi could still see that she didn't seem to believe it.
"It's past nine o'clock." Liu Yaoxi suddenly spoke again, with a desire to leave in his tone, "It's almost time for me to leave." With that, he stood up.
"Eh, can you leave a contact information or something?" Suddenly, Xiao Shan's question once again confused Liu Yaoxi.
At this moment, Liu Yaoxi was even doubting her identity.
"Forget it." Liu Yaoxi turned around and smiled awkwardly and politely rejected her. I don't have any contact information right now. Liu Yaoxi silently rolled his eyes in his heart.
Liu Yaoxi still walked out of the milk tea shop safely, holding an umbrella in one hand and milk tea in the other, standing on the side of the street and looking left and right, hesitating.
Liu Yaoxi thought about it for a while, and still chose to walk in the direction of the school. This time he was not so open-minded, but just stood aside, silently watching the school gate, waiting for something.
Finally, Liu Yaoxi saw a familiar figure. Liu Yaoxi couldn't help but smile in his heart and hurriedly ran over.
"Teacher Liu!" Liu Yaoxi exclaimed with some surprise.
When the man heard the shouting, he turned his head to look at Liu Yaoxi. Obviously, the man was also surprised, and it was Liu Yaoxi who stopped him.
"Yo! Liu Yaoxi?! Liu Yaoxi was pleasantly surprised, his junior high school homeroom teacher still remembered himself, after all, it had been six or seven years.
"Oops, it's changed!" Teacher Liu couldn't help but sigh when he saw Liu Yaoxi.
"Hey, yes. Mr. Liu, it's been a long time. Liu Yaoxi also greeted with a smile.
"Well, why are you here?" Teacher Liu asked.
"It's been a long time since I've been back." Liu Yaoxi sighed as he spoke, "I happened to pass by here today for something, so I stood at the school gate and watched for a while, but I didn't expect to meet you." Liu Yaoxi said as he spoke, and his tone gradually became a little more happy and surprised.
Liu Yaoxi didn't dare to say how good his high school homeroom teacher was to him, but he knew that his junior high school homeroom teacher was very good and good to their entire class. So when Liu Yaoxi met his teacher Liu, he didn't act particularly like a student meeting a teacher, but felt more like an old friend reunited.
"Well, yes, yes." Teacher Liu sighed while looking at Liu Yaoxi.
"Is Mr. Liu still a class teacher?" Liu Yaoxi asked with some concern.
"yes, it's much easier to be a teacher now." Teacher Liu said with a smile, "Today's children are much better behaved than you were back then!" Today, Mr. Liu is a middle-aged man in his thirties and almost forty, but he still doesn't look old when he laughs.
"Haha." Liu Yaoxi also smiled, as if he was laughing at his past self.
"What? Where have you been working lately? Teacher Liu began to ask about Liu Yaoxi's situation as he spoke.
"I'm working in S City now, and I've recently come back." Liu Yaoxi replied calmly.
Teacher Liu suddenly fell silent, which scared Liu Yaoxi again. Liu Yaoxi felt that his heart could no longer be frightened, and he felt that he was going to be exposed several times tonight.
"What's the trouble you've been having?" After being silent for a long time, Mr. Liu slowly asked.
"Huh?" Liu Yaoxi didn't react at once.
"You're lying, it's just you." Teacher Liu said a meaningful sentence.
Liu Yaoxi was stunned again, he didn't know how he was exposed.
"No matter how much you hide, even if you hide the expression on your face, you can't hide the look in your eyes." Teacher Liu said another word.
Liu Yaoxi's eyes suddenly darkened, even if it was night, it stands to reason that Liu Yaoxi's eyes should be able to be hidden. But in front of his own teacher, it seemed useless.
When Liu Yaoxi was in junior high school, he felt that Teacher Liu could read minds, and his careful thinking was generally unstoppable by Teacher Liu. I didn't expect that after so many years, even in different time and space, in the face of Teacher Liu, Liu Yaoxi was still so helpless.
You seem to be in trouble, unprecedentedly difficult. Teacher Liu said again, "Organize your mood, pack up, and move on." ”
Liu Yaoxi was still stunned, as if the teacher in front of him was a wizard, and he was like a transparent person in front of him.
Liu Yaoxi smiled bitterly in his heart:
Sure enough, the teacher is still a teacher, and the student is still a student.
