Lin Qi was really a little helpless.

When he was in the car, he saw that there was basically no one outside the store, so in order to let Su Yueliang rest for a while, Lin Qi directly picked her up from the car and prepared to take her to the room on the second floor of the store.

The process of hugging it was very smooth, and Su Yueliang slept like a kitten in the store, and she didn't even wake up.

But Xiaoxing and Du Shiqiao blocked the door of the cat café tightly.

Du Shiqiao's eyes were good, and he was facing the outside of the store, and he quickly saw Lin Qi clearly.

Xiaoxing was a little sluggish, but it could be seen that she was still very happy this year.

"Store manager, I'm me..."

Xiaoxing seemed to want to explain something, but he couldn't argue.

Lin Qi only handed her two keys: "Help me open the door on the second floor and the door to the room."

"Good, good ......"

Xiaoxing took the key and ran away quickly.

Du Shiqiao was as steady as ever, lowered his voice, and said very sincerely, "Happy New Year, store manager."

Lin Qi smiled and nodded, signaling himself to go upstairs first to settle the boss.

When he went upstairs, Lin Qi and Xiao Xing took a look at each other, and Xiao Xing wrung his hands in front of him like a child who had made a mistake.

"I'll get the key later."

Lin Qi smiled at her and passed by.

"What should I do, what should I do, Du Shiqiao, what should I do! Did he hear it all, the store manager, will he deduct my salary, will he fire me squid... I really haven't done it many times..."

Xiaoxing was so anxious that his cheeks flushed.

"Is this called that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings?" Du Shiqiao laughed and teased.

"You're the monkey!" Xiaoxing reacted quite quickly.

"What should I do..."

"Oh, it's a small thing, you don't know how good the store manager is." Du Shiqiao replied casually.

"That's what I said..."

It may be that he hasn't seen Lin Qi for a while, Xiaoxing has forgotten what Lin Qi's personality is, and realized that he has made a mistake, Xiaoxing's mind is full of the temper and style of the blue-haired phantom.

"The shopkeeper is down."

Du Shiqiao reminded Xiaoxing very directly this time, and Xiaoxing turned around like a spring, put his hand behind his back and stretched out his hand, with an attitude of accepting punishment with resentment.

"Store manager, I was wrong, I shouldn't have secretly learned to make drinks, and I shouldn't have used the raw materials in the store privately after work, you can punish me, you can punish me any way, as long as... Don't fire me squid..."Xiaoxing's voice became quieter and quieter as he spoke.

This girl... Cheng Xuetong's red-faced image was also established a little too successfully.

"That's right..."

Lin Qi deliberately touched his chin, pretending to be very puzzled.

"Then punish you—"

Lin Qi deliberately didn't finish his words in one breath, and Xiaoxing's body was tense.

"Make two drinks, I won't punish you if you do well, I want a cup of mocha, what about Ishibashi?"

"Black tea will do." Du Shiqiao was also smart not to say anything else.

"Ahh

Xiaoxing froze in place.

Is this also called punishment?

"Why don't you go yet?" Lin Qi tilted his head to express his doubts, and Xiaoxing finally suddenly realized that he ran away.

Lin Qi and Du Shiqiao looked at each other and smiled.

….

While waiting, Lin Qi chatted with Du Shiqiao about his recent situation.

Du Shiqiao did not go home for the New Year, and in the days leading up to Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire university town seemed to be emptied, whether it was an Internet café or a cat café.

Thanks to the "matchmaking" of the Furong King, he always ran to the cat café shop when he had nothing to do, and no one except Du Shiqiao could pull it back, and sometimes Du Shiqiao was not available, so Xiaoxing had to "persuade" it back in person.

These come and go

, The relationship between the two has become very familiar, Du Shiqiao will come to the store to help feed the cat and clean it when he is fine, and Xiaoxing is also very righteous to make him drinks after work.

In this way, the two accompanied each other in this lonely and lonely Spring Festival and became good friends in the real sense.

That's nice.

Lin Qi sighed in his heart.

"Do you still live in an Internet café?"

"No, I found a cheap long-term rental nearby."

Lin Qi nodded.

"Manager, it may be a bit numb to say this, but I really appreciate you very, very much."

Du Shiqiao's appearance was quite sincere, and he desperately wanted to convey his feelings to Lin Qi.

"If there's anything I can help with in the future, don't be polite to me, I won't get much, but I'll do my best!"

Du Shiqiao clenched his fists.

"Uh-huh, I remember."

"By the way, I've always been curious about one thing."

Lin Qi wanted to take this opportunity to answer the confusion in his heart.

"You should... It's not dropping out of school, is it? Of course, if it comes to your privacy, I won't ask much."

A trace of sadness flashed in Du Shiqiao's eyes.

"Well, it's not dropping out, it's equivalent to taking a long break from school." Du Shiqiao did not hide Lin Qi.

"That's... Did something happen, or was there something difficult?"

Lin Qi always felt that Du Shiqiao's personality and cognitive level should also be regarded as excellent in school.

"Something happened, but it doesn't matter, I wasn't interested in my studies in the first place, but something happened to make me more determined about the path I want to take, store manager, I can support myself on my own!"

It is not so much that Du Shiqiao is expressing his declaration to Lin Qi, it is better to say that he is making a stubborn but firm guarantee to himself.

Lin Qi didn't ask any more.

Everyone has the right to choose their own path.

......

Half an hour later, Du Shiqiao and Xiaoxing went home one after another, and after Lin Qi closed the store, he went to the pet room to touch those cute and well-behaved cats.

It's time to give Xiaoxing a holiday and let her go home to see her family.

Also, there are some places where some people need to visit...

Lin Qizheng was thinking like this.

"Ah Liang, your clothes are leaking."

There was a sudden sound of tidying up at the door.

"Why do you always find me in advance?"

"Because this litter box is reflective..."

Lin Qi said with a smile.

"Alright then!"

Su Yueliang finally leaned out of the door and swept in as lightly as a butterfly.

Squatting down, he grabbed one of the most restless kittens from the side and held it in his arms.

"Have you slept well?"

"Uh-huh."

"You can't stay up late to play games that night."

"Woooooooo

"Boss, I'm thinking of giving Xiaoxing a few days of paid leave and letting him go back to his hometown to have a look."

"yes, yes."

The pet room was quiet for a few seconds.

"Ah Liang... I also want to leave for a few days..."

Su Yueliang's action of smoothing the kitten stopped.

"That's... Will you come back?"

Su Yueliang didn't turn her head, but the caution in her voice made Lin Qi feel a scratch-like heartache.

"Of course, definitely."

Lin Qi let his voice not waver.

Like me, it's really an all-round play

Hibernate for a hundred years

Read on and look forward to the excitement continuing!
