Chapter 15: The First Part-Time Job

This Cat café called "Natsume" is not far from the school, about a 15-minute walk away.

As soon as the door was opened, the cats in the store began to meow.

"Welcome." The waiter didn't look very old, and he seemed to be a student.

"I ...... I'm here to find the boss. ”

She was afraid that her boss would not hire her, she was afraid that she would not get along well with her colleagues, and she was even more afraid of meeting picky customers.

But it's about to get to the point of exhaustion, and now I have to push myself again.

"This way." The waiter gently chased away a few cats with his feet, and led Summer to see Da Zhuang with a smile.

Da Zhuang looks older than Liu Tao, about 25 years old, with a very short inch hair, he is wearing a camouflage vest, a thick silver chain around his neck, his body is very strong, his skin is tanned into a healthy bronz, his face is tough, his eyes are big and round, and he is deep and spirited.

It's hard to imagine that such a "tough guy" would be the owner of this cat café.

Da Zhuang handed her a cup of coffee before she spoke.

"Taste it."

"It's delicious."

In fact, I only drank a small sip in the summer.

Da Zhuang snatched her coffee cup and began to latte art.

"If it doesn't taste good, say it doesn't taste good, don't say things against your heart just to please me."

The coffee cup was handed back with a white heart floating on it.

Seeing her finish drinking, Da Zhuang wiped his hands with a white towel and said, "The job here is very simple, the only requirement is not to abuse the cat, Xiaomi, you take her." ”

Is this considered a successful application?

Summer was a little confused: "That ......"

Da Zhuang lowered his head and continued to be busy with the work in his hands, and he didn't bother to raise his head: "The salary will be paid to you every day." ”

Millet gave Summer a set of overalls and an apron embroidered with a cute cat.

"This was worn by the waiter before, I washed it all, you're not wearing thin, are you?"

"It's fine."

"I'll teach you how to recognize cats first."

Millet pointed to the cats and said their names one by one, the cats with patterns are relatively easy to recognize, but the solid color cats are not recognizable, they are all gray in the eyes of summer, the only difference is dark gray and light gray.

"Cats go to the toilet here, shovel feces to be diligent, otherwise there will be a smell, the cat litter in the box is less to fill in time, these little guys love to be clean. This is the cat's nest, you have to put them in a cage before closing the store, just pour the cat food into these bowls, and they will come and eat themselves when they are hungry. ”

Millet is a gentle and smiling girl, and she secretly rejoices in the summer that her first job in her life has no intrigue.

After 5 o'clock, the number of customers gradually increased, most of them ordered a cup of coffee, or milk tea, and then read a book and petted the cat.

The waiter's job is easier than expected, and Summer stands up straight, always keeping an eye on the door, ready to welcome the guests who are about to enter the door.

Xiaomi walked up to her with a book and whispered: "Don't be so nervous, relax, when the guests don't need us, we can do whatever we want, read books, play with mobile phones, but remember to mute." ”

Summer nodded, thinking, this job is about the same as playing.

When the store was about to close at night, Xiaomi put the cats into the cage one by one, and in the summer, it was so foggy that even the cats with patterns couldn't recognize who was who.

"Each cat litter tastes different, and if you put it wrong, they can make a lot of fun for the night." After Xiaomi, she put on her gloves and shoveled.

"Come in the summer." Da Zhuang stood at the bar and greeted her.

Seeing that he didn't have a smile on his face, Summer thought that he was doing something wrong and was going to be trained.

"Add a WeChat." Da Zhuang said.

"Oh." Summer slowly scanned his business card, not understanding why the boss wanted to add the employee's WeChat.

"Your salary has been sent, change your clothes and get off work." Da Zhuang said while wiping the bar.

The amount of the red envelope is 60, which is different from what Zhang Fei said.

"60 a day? Or is it the end of the day? Summer asked timidly.

"What? Too little? Da Zhuang raised his eyes and asked her suspiciously.

"No, Zhang Fei said......"

"My shop, I have the final say." Da Zhuang smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth, "Let's go, everyone outside the door is in a hurry." ”

Someone outside the door?

Summer walked out of the store with a doubt, and a whistle followed.

Cheng Ze sat on a wooden chair in front of the store, surrounded by smoke, as if he had just smoked a box of cigarettes.

"Senior sister, are you off work?" Cheng Ze stood up and walked up to Summer, a head taller than her.

The street lamp emitted a yellowish glow, reflecting Cheng Ze's delicate face, and his gentle eyes were like a warm fire in the cold winter.

"It's time to get off work." Summer slowly stretched out her hand and touched Cheng Ze's face, coldly, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

Cheng Ze watched in a daze as Summer's hand stretched out towards him, and when he touched his cheek, he shook unexpectedly, his lips trembled and said, "No, it won't be long, senior sister, don't be burdened, I want to wait for you here, everything is willing." ”

Summer thinks that such a gentle boy will secretly grieve because of his bad attitude, and the guilt will uncontrollably rush to his heart in waves.

"Thank you for introducing me to this job." How could the smart summer not know, this is all Cheng Ze's arrangement.

"Ah......" Cheng Ze tried his best to stop his voice from trembling, "If you don't accept the money from the senior sister, the senior sister will feel uncomfortable, right?" But I'm worried about your living expenses, so I asked Brother Zhuang. Senior sister, I want to have an equal and burden-free relationship with you. ”

Contact!

Summer took a step back.

Cheng Ze squinted and smiled happily, and the tiger teeth were exposed.

"Why are you kidding me?" Looking at Cheng Ze's evil smile, Summer puffed out his cheeks and asked him angrily.

"Are you kidding? Why does Senpai think I'm joking with you? Narusawa tilted his head and looked down at the summer.

He thought about the reason why he didn't like him in the summer, maybe because of his age, or because of his personality, or maybe a boy like him was not her thing, but he never thought that his deep love would be seen as a joke by her.

"The prince won't fall in love with Cinderella, and the president won't fall in love with the little clerk, and I won't be ...... because you're good-looking and cheeky" Summer paused, and the hurtful words were swallowed raw.

"I've been pretty thick-skinned during this time." Cheng Ze touched his face, "I'm not that noble, I'm not a prince, I'm just an orphan who was abandoned by my mother - I look okay, and I was adopted because of ......"

The sound of the rolling shutter door clattering and falling......

"Haven't left yet?" Da Zhuang locked the door and asked Cheng Ze.

"Brother, let's go back to school." Cheng Ze said with a smile.

He is always able to hide his sadness and show his gentle smiling face to others.

"Ah, school grass!" Xiaomi jumped up to Cheng Ze and quickly took out his mobile phone, "Add a WeChat, I didn't have time to add you last time you were in too much of a hurry." ”

"Okay."

Seeing the two of them smiling in the summer, she felt a little unhappy in her heart.

Sure enough, it's a genuine 'central air conditioner', Summer thought.

"Is the handsome guy going back to school too? Together. Millet said uninterestingly.

"Come here, I'll explain to you tomorrow's ......" Da Zhuang called Xiaomi over and winked at Cheng Ze.

Cheng Ze smiled and nodded in thanks.

On the way back to the dormitory, the two ushered in a lot of envious, jealous and hateful eyes.

Wear a mask in the summer and keep your head down at all times.

"Senior sister, can I come to you for breakfast tomorrow?" Arriving at the door of the dormitory building, Cheng Ze asked cautiously.

"I said no, you'll still come."

"Yes." Cheng Ze smiled and waved his hand at her, "Come in, senior sister will see you tomorrow." ”

"Sister Tian'er, have you gone on a date?" As soon as she entered the door in the summer, Kim Yeon asked her.

"Are you dating the school grass?" Yang Yang asked.

"I went to work." Summer put down her rucksack and climbed into bed tiredly, "We're not what you think." ”

"Cheng Ze sent you back?" Xiao Qian asked.

"Hmm."

"Sister Tian'er, it's amazing, she grabbed the heart of the school grass without making a sound." Kim Yeon gave her a thumbs up.

It seems that between her and Cheng Ze, it has been rumored that there are various versions of "Cinderella".

"I don't really want you to be with Cheng Ze." Jin Yan changed her attitude, "Sister Tian, I quit the club." ”

"Why? Don't you like Cheng Ze a lot? "I didn't expect my cousin to give up so quickly in the summer, is it because of myself?

"Yanyan, I have nothing to do with him."

"It's not because of you, in the past few days in the club, I found out that he is a bad and good person who doesn't refuse to come, and he is so gentle to all girls, so unprincipled, which girlfriend can stand it in the future?" Kim Yan said.

"So those who are good-looking are all playboys." Yang Yang and Xiao Qian both agreed.

After the lights went out, Summer thought back to what they had just said.

Suddenly, Da Bai sent a message: "Senior sister, is your work going well today?" What are the problems? ”

Summer quickly replied: "There are too many cats, it's hard to recognize." ”

The other party sent a string of smiley faces.

Summer also laughed silly.

"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention to the proportions of my speech in the future, and I won't embarrass my senior sister anymore."

"Hmm."

"Can we be friends, then?"

"Hmm."

After ten minutes, Dabai didn't send any more messages.

Sleeping?

Or is it because the word "um" is too perfunctory and angry?

The phone was locked by Summer, and it was unlocked and locked......

The dormitory with the lights off was quiet, and the roommates were all asleep, only Summer stared intently at WeChat, waiting for the news of Dabai.

The time at the top of the screen jumped to 10:30, and suddenly, the other person's status changed to "typing".

Summer clenched her phone and held her breath, anxiously waiting for the characters that were about to pop up on the screen.

"I was discussing club activities with Xiangxiang just now, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Senior sister, have you slept?"

"See you tomorrow, then."

Summer didn't dare to go back, for fear that Cheng Ze would know that he had been waiting for him.

stared at the screen for a long time before turning off WeChat and stuffing the phone under the pillow.

"Sister Tian'er, where are you working?" The next day, while having dinner in the cafeteria, Kim Yeon asked about Summer.

"It's in a coffee shop not far from the school." Summer said.

"Tired or not?" Kim Yan asked.

"It's okay, the coffee shop is full of cats." Summer said.

"I'm not going to the library later, can I come with you?" Kim Yeon squinted her eyes and begged coquettishly.

"Okay." With my cousin by my side, I can't ask for it in the summer.
