This is an old Teochew store called Xu Kee.

The façade is not too big, divided into two floors, and it operates Guangzhou morning tea and Chaozhou cuisine. It was past the busy time of noon, when most of the guests were drinking afternoon tea, chatting mostly and eating little, so the chef and the men also gathered together to read the newspaper, brag and fart, and occasionally stare at the horses on the television and shout.

There were many such stores in the 90s, and after entering the 21st century, the rapid development of the economy, the transformation of the business model, and the change and strengthening of the management system made it difficult to operate this kind of old storefront, and now there are very few.

Qi Shan liked the atmosphere of this store very much, because when he was in HK before, there were such stores everywhere, after all, he was in the 90s, which was the period when this kind of store was booming.

The two of them asked for a private room, and the guy brought three or five side dishes, a few Cantonese refreshments, and brought a pot of tea, closed the door and withdrew, and the private room was suddenly quiet.

Qi Shan and Wang Jiamei sat side by side.

A fast, yet elegant eating.

The other was like a frightened deer, keeping his head down and making no sound, looking up from time to time to peek over, and then quickly lowered his head before Qi Shan noticed it.

The two have not communicated, and the only sound in the private room is the crisp sound of chopsticks touching the dishes.

After a long while, Wang Jiamei said cautiously.

"What do you want to do to me, maybe you want to kill me?"

"That's not true, but you're an eyewitness, so I can't let you go just yet."

In fact, this is very far-fetched, even if Qi Shan started quickly just now, the people passing by basically didn't pay attention, and no one could see it.

But now it's close to 2010, the sky is full of surveillance, and the streets are full of electronic eyes, maybe it will be filmed somewhere.

This opening mode has great drawbacks, first it will be hostile to the government, and then it will inevitably be followed by a bunch of police officers behind the ass for some time.

However, it is not so easy to catch Qi Shan's handle, after all, there are benefits of no identity and no identity.

As for the benefit, there may be only one, that is, it can be compulsorily close to Wang Jiamei and have exchanges.

This person is stubborn but timid, withdrawn, cautiously isolating himself, but eager to communicate with others, and even dreams of a big star.

There are some contradictions, and there is a lot of negative energy in the personality.

If this kind of girl comes into contact with it head-on, I'm afraid it won't be easy.

So the sword goes sideways, maybe it's a good idea.

"Then how long are you going to keep me in custody? I've got to work tomorrow. ”

"Huh!" Qi Shan shook his head and didn't answer, but glanced at Wang Jiamei and asked, "Did he force you to pick up guests just now?" ”

Wang Jiamei bowed her head and was silent.

"So what's the pity of such a person dying? I also contribute to society, albeit in a different way. ”

Qi Shan shook his head and said: "Put your heart in your stomach, as long as you are obedient, I will not hurt you, but in the near future, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave me, of course, I am not a demon, so I will naturally not cut off your communication." If there is something important you need to contact, you can call. ”

Wang Jiamei looked up in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that I will call the police?" ”

"Haha, if you can do it."

Qi Shan laughed, handed over a basket of refreshments, and said, "Eat something, I can't tell when I will have something to eat at night." If I don't eat enough now, I don't care if I'm hungry for a while. ”

Wang Jiamei glanced at Qi Shan, hesitated, slowly picked up a pair of chopsticks, carefully picked up a shrimp dumpling, and ate it in small bites.

She was in a strange mood at this time, with both fear, fear and the urge to run away, as well as the thrill of rebellion, the pleasure and satisfaction of breaking free from the rules.

Since I arrived in Hong Kong, I have carefully ingratiated myself with my colleagues every day, doing everything the manager explains, even if I am tired and half dead, I can't complain.

There are no friends around, my mother has a strong personality, basically doesn't listen to her, once something goes wrong, just slap her up.

Although my sister has a good personality, she cares about her sister very much.

In fact, both of them know in their hearts that the sisterhood is just the surface.

Most of them are made for outsiders.

Every day she lives in a cage of rules, constantly encroaching on her freedom, living carefully and unhappily.

Today's sudden world has had a strong impact on Wang Jiamei's small world.

It was as if the sky had smashed a hole, and a larger world appeared in front of us. The anticipation in my heart, and the desire to move my lips, seems to have not been felt since I was 12 years old.

The two of them finished a meal silently, got up and glanced at the carry-on space, a little embarrassed and sad, Wang Jiamei's carry-on bag, took out a few banknotes and settled the account.

When I went out, I passed by two customers who came in and hailed a taxi.

opened the car door and motioned for Wang Jiamei to enter.

She hesitated for a moment and whispered: "My place is a bit out of the way, if you take a taxi, the money ......."

Qi Shan nodded and said softly, "It's okay, I'll solve it." ”

Reaching out and sticking it to her back, he gently pushed her to the back seat and sat down himself.

His right hand reached behind her waist and grabbed her elbow, and with his left hand he closed the door and gave the driver in front of her an address.

The driver agreed, and the car started slowly.

Wang Jiamei felt the temperature on Qi Shan's arm, and inexplicably no longer feared, but a trace of warmth rose.

She knew the meaning of Qi Shan's movements, but in fact, she didn't want to struggle at all.

It's weird, but it's true.

Why, exactly?

Wang Jiamei couldn't find an answer.

The taxi stopped in front of an old-fashioned residential building, actually touched it, miraculously pulled out a purse, and took out all the cash.

counted out a few and gave the fare, and the rest opened Wang Jiamei's small bag and threw it directly inside.

Wang Jiamei's eyes flashed and she didn't speak.

The two got out of the car, and Qi Shan raised his chin and said, "Which one." ”

"It's on the first floor!"

She led the way in front, and Qi Shan followed.

After going up a few stairs, I turned into the cramped hallway, took out the key and opened the third door.

As soon as the door closed, Wang Jiamei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed.

Qi Shan looked at this room, it was very small, only a dozen square meters.

There was no decoration on the concrete floor, there was a garbage basket in the corner, and next to it was a small bed, which was a bit messy, and the quilt was still piled up in the corner.

Diagonally facing a table with a lot of things in a mess, and a door on the wall on the other side, Qi Shan guessed that it might be a bathroom.
