Chapter 1: Life
The sunlight outside the window punctually shines through the tulle on the ground to form dots of different sizes, and the crisp and gentle birdsong is accompanied by the warm morning sunlight and the occasional noise from the street, which seems so peaceful and comfortable.
Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......
The alarm clock at the head of the bed kept screaming, urging the little one in the nest to get up.
"I'm so annoyed, I'm going to work again." A hand stretched out from the warm quilt, a little thin, and slapped it on the noisy alarm clock to successfully turn it off.
Then a head with cat ears came out of the bed, looking like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, yawning and stretching, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking sleepy.
I got up from the bed impatiently, grabbed the shirt and jeans scattered on the ground and put them on, the shirt looked a little close-fitting, and the jeans were slightly white, it seemed to be some years.
The boy came to the bathroom, and he raised his toothbrush to brush his teeth for a while, and he found that his four tiger teeth had grown a little longer, and it was time to polish them, and it would be embarrassing to be recognized by the people around him that he was not human. That's right, he is a demon, a demon from the demon world, it is not easy to get the opportunity to enter the human world, he was lucky enough to be selected among the hundreds of orphans in the orphanage, and came to the human world to become an ordinary salesman. After brushing his teeth, he rinsed his mouth briefly, picked up a towel and wiped his face carefully, the long hours of work made him a little haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes were also very heavy, so he had to recuperate on the weekend.
Finally, he raised the comb and combed his hair, except for the two cat ears on the top of his head, which seemed to be no different from ordinary humans, put on a cap to hide his ears, checked his wallet and keys, and opened the door and walked out after confirming that they were correct. Today's weather is also good, it is spring, and the wildflowers on the roadside are also scattered and blooming, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air, and he likes this faint fragrance very much.
"Morning, little one, do you want a bun?" The kind-eyed grandmother greeted the boy cordially, and threw a few buns in a plastic bag to the boy, "Your favorite chicken filling, I really don't understand how you like chicken buns so much." ”
The boy raised his hand to catch the bun thrown by the old grandmother, and unpacked it as he ran, taking a bite, the tender chicken containing the soup exploded in his mouth, and most of his wake-up anger was washed away.
"Run slowly, don't eat while running, be careful of choking, it's really good to wake up early next time." Shaking her head helplessly, Grandma Wang also turned around and continued to steam the buns, and said to herself: "Three chicken buns are four yuan and five, and I lose four yuan and five yuan every day for my wife." ”
This grandmother Wang lives on the first floor, and is also the boy's landlord, usually when she has nothing to do, she will push a cart to sell steamed buns at the door, and the steamed buns she makes are not only thin and filling, but also large in size and weight, and the taste is first-class, which is loved by nearby residents.
It's not that the boy doesn't know how to be polite, it's that he only has five minutes to get to the convenience store where he works, otherwise he will have to deduct his salary, and he really doesn't have time to greet and respond to Grandma Wang. While running wildly all the way, he also gobbled up the buns, surrounded by vehicles coming and going and busy behavior, everyone in the human world is running around for life every day, and there is no freedom in the demon world, so that he still wants to go back to the demon world.
6:27… 6:28… 6:29…
A tall woman stood at the door and looked around, talking about the white dress fluttering in the spring breeze, lining the graceful figure to the fullest, and the second hand of the wrist watch, which was still quite expensive, kept advancing. At the moment when the minute hand pointed to 6, the boy's voice came from a distance.
"Store manager, I'm here! Not late! The boy shouted as he galloped in.
"It's not bad, count you in the card." The store manager reached out and patted the boy's little brain, turned around and opened the door lock of the convenience store, turned on various power sources, and began to count the quantity of goods.
The boy followed her, helped her move the cardboard boxes full of various drinks, so that the store manager could count them more easily, and went to check which drinks were out of stock in the freezer, and made up for them one by one.
"The turnover is not bad these days, but I wonder if I want to consider adding a machine to cook oden." The store manager said while counting the various flavors of potato chips, "Recently, the rice balls have been very popular, do you want to buy more?" ”
The boy looked back at the small storefront, thought about the overall structure for a while, and replied, "If you buy a smaller one, you can put it next to the cash register, and as for the rice balls, should you prepare a microwave oven, many customers are asking if you can heat it up." ”
Hearing this, the store manager raised his head and threw out a smile, and continued to bury his head in the inventory.
This convenience store is not big, but it has a lot of things, whether it is daily necessities or all kinds of snacks and drinks, and even some simple rice balls, sandwiches and bento boxes, which are good and inexpensive, and are the first choice for lunch for employees of several small companies around. The boy's job is to help the boss look after the store, move goods, clean and other sundries, and earn enough to support the rent and water and electricity from half past six in the morning to half past nine in the evening every day. He has been working here for more than two years.
It took a lot of effort to finally count all the goods without any mistakes, and all the goods on the shelves were completed. After all this, the store manager took out a bottle of sparkling water from the freezer, unscrewed it, drank several sips, and took out another bottle of happy water and threw it to the boy, who raised his hand to catch it, drank it unceremoniously, and hiccuped comfortably and contentedly, causing both of them to laugh.
"Anyway, did Xiao Xuan have breakfast?" Comfortably sat on the boss's chair behind the cash register, turned on the mobile phone and began to scroll up the news from time to time, "By the way, clean up the garbage on the ground." ”
"Eat, Grandma Wang's steamed buns." The boy reluctantly picked up a broom from the corner and cleaned it up.
"Hey, when you say that, I also want to eat Grandma Wang's buns, can you bring me two beef fillings and a vermicelli filling tomorrow?" The store manager touched her stomach, it seemed that she had already growled, she had to count the inventory today, so she got up a little early, and she didn't have time to eat breakfast before she remembered that Grandma Wang's buns were even hungrier, so she grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Okay, good, I'm not afraid of gaining weight if I eat so much..."Of course, the boy said this sentence in a very small voice, and if the store manager heard it, he would be miserable. Picking up the garbage and coming to the door, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, I really hope that the peaceful and peaceful life can continue.
