I'm in charge of the kitchen - I see, it's okay to be a man like this. That's when it dawned on me, and the boss looked at me like a monster.

"Why, you don't want to be a maid, do you?"

He was probably just joking, but I could only laugh awkwardly.

My boss told me to come to work tomorrow. This is quite satisfying to Tang Ling's requirements, and it is also in line with my own purpose of wanting to work. I thought it would be good, so I said yes without saying a word.

After I settled on my part-time job, I thought it would be okay to spend a little money.

"I want to have a pet." remembered that Tang Ling once said this.

Tang Ling's parents seem to have allergies, so they can't have pets at home. And after examination, Tang Ling herself also has allergies.

"Even if it's not a puppy or a kitten, I hate pets that die quickly. Pets must live a long life, at least not before me. ”

"How's the turtle?"

I was joking, but she immediately told me excitedly that she wanted this.

But where are you going to buy the turtle?

On the way home from the maid's café, I searched on the Internet and found that there was a shop selling turtles nearby. When I went to the pet section of the household goods store, I saw that there were turtles for sale.

Turtles are cheap.

So far, I don't know the market price of turtles, but this time, I saw that the turtles with high prices were less than 100 yuan. In this way, you don't have to work to save money, and you can buy it right away.

As the saying goes, the crane is a thousand years, and the turtle is ten thousand years, but how long can a turtle live? It won't really live for 10,000 years, won't it be fine?

I consulted with the clerk and learned that a turtle with a long lifespan can live for about 30 years. However, when I asked further, I found that although the turtle was cheap, the sink and pet supplies cost a lot of money. So I said, "I'll come back later," and left the store.

"Welcome back, host~ I'm Lily!"

On my first day at work, I was greeted by a short-haired maid with bright hair, which made me a little embarrassed.

"That, I'm Long Xiaotian, the new guy today."

When I said that, her cheeks turned crimson.

"The staff passage is over there, and this side is for the guests."

It's my fault no matter what she thinks, but she looks shy.

"My name is Tian Li, seventeen years old, a sophomore in high school this year, hello... Eh, what's your name? ”

"Long Xiaotian, you can also call me Xiaotian."

I replied and walked over to the staff aisle.

When I went in, I was told that the boss was not there. I didn't even bother to introduce myself, so I was called by the busy maid seniors to help out in the kitchen. Those of us who are in charge of cooking do not have uniforms, but we are required to wear white shirts and black pants by law. I put on my apron, which served as a uniform, and went into the kitchen.

To my surprise, there were no seniors in the kitchen.

I heard that a few months ago, the chef in charge of cooking had a big fight with the boss, and he quit. After that, the maids took turns to cook the cooks.

"Come and get a hand."

Contrary to the laid-back atmosphere of the store, the kitchen is hell busy. In a panic, I shuttled among the scrambled maids, and did everything I could.

"Good work."

The part-time job starts at noon and ends at 10 p.m. I collapsed in my office exhausted, when the short-haired maid I met during the day accosted me.

"Ah, Sister Xiaoli."

In the shop, the maids all add the word "small" to their names to call each other. That's what the clerk and customers call it that. Although I felt embarrassed, I still followed the local custom. But because the other party is an older person, I added a "sister" to the end.

"Long Xiaotian, how did you feel on the first day of work?"

"Today is the first time I've ever made a cake."

Anyway, because of the lack of manpower here, I was asked to do everything. To be honest, even though it was my first time working part-time, I really didn't expect to be so tired.

"If you can, let's go back together."

I had no reason to refuse, so I waited for Sister Xiaoli to change her clothes and go back together.

"Is Long Xiaotian the same age as me?"

"No, I'm a year younger than you, and I'm a freshman in high school this year."

"Wow, yes! The people who worked at the shop were all older than me, and I was the youngest before. So Long Xiaotian came to work, I was very happy! Actually, it's a very, very hard job to be in charge of cooking, and many people quit after not working for long, so I'm a little worried, so I'm here to ask you. ”

I see, sure enough, this job is relatively hard.

"yes, but I guess I'll keep doing it, probably."

Listening to my answer, Sister Xiaoli was a little surprised.

"Well, there aren't many people who say that. Is there any reason for this? Want to save money for a gift for your girlfriend? ”

"Well, there's a reason."

"Girlfriend?"

"Do I look like I have a girlfriend?"

"Subtle~" Sister Xiaoli said with a smile.

In the evening, when I came home exhausted, my parents were already asleep. Dinner was covered with plastic wrap and placed on the table. However, I didn't have much appetite, so I put dinner in the fridge and took a shower back to the bedroom.

As soon as I went upstairs and walked into the hallway, I noticed that the door to Xiaoyan's sister's room was open. This is very rare, because Sister Xiaoyan's room has remained as it has been after her death. It's not that I haven't thought about throwing away Sister Xiaoyan's things and turning the room into a storage room, but I haven't opened my mouth to my parents. Of course, no one usually enters Sister Xiaoyan's room.

I walked in and lit the lights in the room. The closet in the room was open, and the cardboard boxes containing my sister's personal belongings were exposed. I think maybe my mother came in. At least I knew that my father would never do such a sad thing. Seeing this kind of thing only adds to the sadness.

Thinking about it, I looked into the cardboard box. The top cardboard box contains textbooks. Sister Xiaoyan and I went to a different high school, and the textbooks we used were also different. I took out a Chinese textbook and looked through it.

One page is marked with a red pen.

It was a poem by some modern poet.

When a loved one dies,

I have to be buried with him.

This line of the poem draws a red line.

The red line means that my sister has a special love for this poem. However, I can't appreciate poetry at all. In other words, is there really anyone in this world who can understand the meaning of poetry? At least I haven't encountered it so far. I was a little surprised that my sister was a person who could appreciate poetry. What did Sister Xiaoyan say before she died...... At least she had a very cheerful personality until her boyfriend died, and she was not at all the kind of person like a literary girl.

I remembered Sister Xiaoyan's boyfriend.

He's a very cheerful athletic guy, the kind of guy I'm not good at dealing with.

How much does Sister Xiaoyan like him?

But it's a melancholy poem. Is this kind of poem really suitable for a textbook?

"When a loved one dies, he must be buried with him."

I secretly complained to myself, "How is it possible?"

"Is there really an omelet rice with love painted on it?"

Tang Ling listened to me talk about my part-time job with great interest.

"Yes, but I basically did it."

Hearing me say this, I don't know why Tang Ling laughed.

"Hey, don't say it, laughing makes my stomach hurt."

"It's super fun, and the maid costume is pretty good."

I showed Tang Ling the photos I took with my mobile phone before.

"Who...... This person? ”

"Ah, this is Sister Xiaoli, the senior who works in the store, a year older than me. I said I wanted to take a picture of a maid outfit, and she modeled for me. ”

"Oh?"

For some reason, Tang Ling suddenly straightened her face and glared at me. I couldn't figure out why she was suddenly upset. After that, Tang Ling said a little angrily: "I want bungee jumping!" ”

The tone was sharp as a knife.

“…… No, no, no, no. ”

"I want me, I want me, I want it!"

Tang Ling said coquettishly.

"I'm not going to do that."

I answered her like this.

One day, under a suspension bridge in a remote mountain, I was forced to sign a contract.

The content of the contract, in short, is that no matter what accident happens, injury or death, you are responsible. The words exacerbated my sense of horror, and I even suddenly wanted to slip away.

But I signed it anyway, and all that was left was to wait in line.

"Ahh

The woman who jumped down let out a wail as if she were dying.

Why should I spend money to find guilt?

I always feel very aggrieved.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally my turn. The staff quickly secured the rope on my body, and now I had to grit my teeth and jump down.

Walking to the designated position in the middle of the drawbridge, I took out my phone, fixed it on my helmet, and headed towards me, and then made a video call with Tang Ling.

"Hey." Tang Ling's face was displayed on the phone, and I just wanted to speak, but I felt pushed by the staff behind my back.

I flew in the air.

I approached the water under the suspension bridge at high speed. The world in front of me has become incredible. I instinctively thought that this time I was going to die.

"Whoaa

I screamed and fell, and when the rope was stretched to its limit, I flew again in the air because of the reaction force.

"Hahaha!"

Tang Ling burst into laughter. I don't have time to look at her.

"Whoaaa

"Hahahaha"

"Babble, ah"

"Hahahahaha

In the midst of the repeated screams, my body finally stopped. I was hung by a rope and swayed in mid-air like a pendulum.

"Are you satisfied this time?"

I asked Tang Ling a little impatiently.

"Well, I'm happy."

Tang Ling replied happily.

One morning, Wu Jie called me at ten o'clock. I thought to myself, it must be some trouble, and I pretended not to hear it. I took it anyway.

"There's something I want you to help with." The first sentence Wu Jie said made me immediately regret answering the phone.

"Do you know what I've been up to lately?"

"Not at all."

I'm not interested in Wu Jie's private affairs. He can do whatever he likes, as long as he doesn't involve me.

"I'm cleaning up my relationships with women. I want to break up with them both. ”

Wu Jie doesn't have a girlfriend. "No girlfriend doctrine" is Wu Jie's value, but he is very popular with girls. So he shot one after another, and in the first semester of high school, he got into trouble from time to time. But now, somehow, Wu Jie on the other end of the phone wants to break up with the girl.

"There's a woman who's in trouble, and she doesn't want to break up with me anyway. Even if I try to say it, it won't work, so I want you to go and break up with her for me. ”

"You......"

I was speechless. Talking about breaking up and letting others go, is there such a hypocritical thing?

"Anyway, I will never say yes."

"Hey, Xiaotian. I've been cornered with no way out, and I'm going crazy. What should I do? ”

Wu Jie's voice suddenly became painful. I couldn't see his face over the phone, and I had no way of knowing how lost he was.

"Can we meet today? I'd like to meet with you directly. ”

As a result, under the pretext of just meeting and discussing, I was semi-forced to meet with Wu Jie.

He told me he was sitting by the window at a nearby fast-food restaurant. I went to the place he designated, and Wu Jie sent a text message telling me that he was in the innermost seat by the window. But there was someone else sitting there.

And that person, I'm also familiar with.

"Huh? Why Long Xiaotian ......? ”

Sitting there was the homeroom teacher, Mr. Fang Jiang. For a moment, my mind was in a mess. Immediately after that, I thought of the worst-case scenario, and I suddenly had a headache. I thought to myself: I really want to kill that guy.

Because Teacher Fangjiang who was sitting there was sobbing. She had been crying before I came.

"Could it be that Teacher Fangjiang was called out by Wu Jie?"
