Overnight, he rushed out a painting and hurriedly brought it to him, but he only glanced at it and put it on the table, and then said to me seriously: What I want is a good work that puts my heart in, not this kind of sloppy and perfunctory defective product.

After that, every once in a while when I handed in a painting, he was able to find the shortcomings in it and give me some pointers. At one point I thought he must be a hermit painter, but later he told me that he couldn't paint because his right hand had been badly injured.

Maybe the painting was a door that opened the bridge between me and him, and after learning that I was living in poverty, he began to take over the work of repairing old paintings for me.

It's a shame to say that it's not without selfish thoughts to think of coming to him. Although I have never explored the background behind his identity as the boss of "Time", I know in my heart that he must be a person with a background, otherwise there would not be so many people with special identities to meet in his café, and it would be impossible for me to connect those private jobs. And my reward for him is, at most, to take care of all the murals in this café. Sometimes he would recommend my paintings to clients, and interested people would buy them for the same price, which in his words was a way to attract business.

Naturally, I don't know if I will really be placed in the warehouse, and there is a lounge in the back yard of the café, which is temporarily used for me to move in. When I returned to the store after purchasing all the daily necessities from the supermarket next door, I couldn't help but ask He Zhixu: "Don't you ask me why I want to stay with you?" ”

He looked up from the coffee machine and asked in a low voice, "Does this matter?" When everyone has difficulties, you choose to come to me because you believe in me and treat me as a friend. I was really embarrassed to say this, and then a guest came, and he walked out of the bar to greet him, and I quickly put away the tidying up and changed into work clothes and went out to work.

Speaking of which, I usually need to take time to come to the store, but now because Gu Xi's project has a lot of time, I don't have to go to school to report to the tutor. Many of the customers are familiar with me, some of them are regular customers, and some of them have dealt with them privately, so they are very willing to talk to me when they see me in the store. At the end of the day, I wasn't too busy, and I had a good time talking with customers.

Seeing that it was only a quarter of an hour before the closing time at nine o'clock, a few of us clerks began to make preparations. I just went into the back hall with a plate, and when I came out again, I saw a colleague whispering on the side, and when I came out, he quickly pulled me to speak: "Alice, look at a handsome guy over there." "Alice is the English name I came up with when I came in. Gaze as they pointed, gaze paused.

The lazy sitting posture, dark chestnut hair, deep facial features, and slender body are all familiar. Because I just said goodbye to this person in the morning, I thought it was really as easy as I wanted, but I still came.

He Zhixu whispered at the bar, "Is it Alice's friend?" He could tell a thing or two from the look on my face.

I hesitated and nodded, sort of...... Friends.

When I got up and walked towards the figure, my colleagues cast envious glances at me, and they could only smile bitterly, they didn't know that this person was difficult.

"We're closing."

Ben's lowered gaze was raised, obviously sitting a little shorter than me standing, but when he looked up slightly, his momentum was not half a point weaker. His eyes met in the air for a moment, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "What time does it close?" ”

I told the truth: "Nine o'clock." ”

The black eyes swept around and landed on the wall clock on the wall, with a smile in his eyes: "There are still more than ten minutes left, is your store going to catch customers?" I paused, but patiently asked, "And what do you want to drink?" ”

"What do you have? Let's talk about it. ”

When I gave me the name of the coffee, he said, "I don't drink coffee." ”

If you don't drink coffee, then you still come to the café? What's more, he waved his hand and said unannoyingly: "Forget it, let's have a cup of English black tea." "At this point, I'm sure this man is here to make trouble!
