Chapter 19: The Drunken Man
Just when Jiang Kewei would have a very difficult time getting along with He Yan in the future, he realized that he was really thinking too much.
For four days, she could only see the banquet once a day in the morning and evening, and they were all in a hurry.
Because He Yan went out at night and came home in the morning, he hardly talked to her, and completely regarded her as a transparent.
Jiang Ke was a little skeptical about whether he could see himself.
On the fifth day, Jiang Ke couldn't sit still at home.
Because she doesn't have anything to do, someone will put the food at the door every day, she only needs to cook three simple meals for herself every day, and then there is nothing to do.
During these four days, she went to the study of the banquet and looked for books on the shelves, and found that they were all messy original English books, which seemed to have been bought by He Yan to support the faΓ§ade, because he didn't look like a person who could read the original English books.
She also tried to find some boring variety shows and TV series to pass the time, but this kind of day when the door is not out of the door is not a way after all.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, she took advantage of the time when He Yan went to sleep in the room and went to the convenience store where she worked before.
It happened that the boss also came to settle the accounts, and was very surprised to see her, and immediately asked her where she went recently, why didn't she say goodbye before, and she didn't even receive her salary for those days.
Looking at the boss's concerned look, Jiang Ke was a little embarrassed.
She was wearing the new clothes that the banquet had bought for her, and she stood in front of the cashier in a hurry, and whispered, "I don't want the salary, I am very grateful that you were willing to take me in before." β
The boss was even more surprised to see that she was not here to ask for a salary.
"So you're just passing by today?"
Jiang Ke paused and nodded: "Well, I was just passing by, so let's take a look." β
Then she didn't say anything more, just bought a drink, sat in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window of the convenience store, and looked at the passers-by outside the window in a daze.
She watched it all afternoon, and finally the boss came over to shoot her.
"Xiao Ke, are you hungry? Why don't you just grab some quick food at the store? β
Jiang Ke picked up her phone and looked at the time, it was already half past five in the afternoon, she was worried that He Yan would be angry if she woke up and couldn't see her at home, so she refused: "No need, I'll go back immediately." β
After saying that, she hurriedly left the convenience store and took a taxi back to Heyan's upscale apartment in the center of the city.
The convenience store owner looked at her strange behavior and just sighed, "This kid is nervous." β
When Jiang Ke pushed open the door, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, but when she walked into the living room and saw the shoes at the entrance, she realized that He Yan had not gone out.
No, he wasn't awake at all, and he didn't notice her coming out.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that he came up from upstairs, and he still passed by Jiang Ke with an expressionless face, and didn't say a word.
Jiang Ke was a little excited in his heart.
Because after this afternoon's test, she found that she could go out during the day, and He Yan would not find out at all.
She thought about the convenience store again, and she wanted to go back.
The next morning, she reappeared in front of the convenience store.
The part-time workers in the store were surprised to see her and hurried to catch up.
"Xiao Ke, why are you back?"
Jiang Ke's eyes were full of hope and asked, "Will the boss come today?" I have something I want to tell him. β
My colleague's name is Yu Jin, a little girl who is about the same age as her, she took advantage of the summer vacation to come out to work, she likes Jiang Ke very much, and immediately replied: "The boss may not come back, do you have anything to do?" Shall I give you his phone number? β
Jiang Ke blinked, and his small appearance looked exceptionally well-behaved.
"Thank you, Yu Jin."
Yu Jin smiled slightly, "No, it's a trivial matter." β
Yu Jin gave Jiang Ke his phone number, Jiang Ke stepped aside to call the boss, and the first thing he said was: "Boss, is there still anyone in the store?" I want to come back to work, I know it's wrong for me to say goodbye before, but I really want to come back to work, it's okay if you give me a little less hourly rate, I don't mind. β
The boss was silent for a few seconds and said: "Come back if you want to come back, the hourly wage is the same as before, and you can communicate with Yu Jin by yourself during working hours." β
He felt sorry for this little girl who was almost homeless, which reminded him of the pampered little princess in his family, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed about Jiang Ke.
Jiang saw that the boss agreed without asking anything, and he was so happy that he said thank you several times in a row.
When she hung up the phone, her eyes were slightly red.
How can she always meet kind people?
Yu Jin was very happy when he heard that she was coming back to work, so he rearranged the schedule with her on the spot, asking her to come to the day shift and work the night shift by herself.
Jiang Ke saw that the time was just the time for He Yan to sleep at home, and decisively agreed.
"Then today is your first day on the job, I can go back to rest, come on!"
Yu Jin made a cheering gesture and left happily.
Jiang Ke watched her leave, and a smile appeared on her sweet little face.
One morning, she worked extremely seriously, and at noon she ate a light meal in the store, satisfied.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, when she was waiting for Yu Jinlai to take over, a topless uncle suddenly walked into the store.
He wore a T-shirt on his right shoulder, his whole body was covered in greasy flesh pink, and his figure staggered a little, as if he had drunk too much.
Jiang Ke stared at him tightly, watching him take a condom on the shelf, he chuckled in his heart, and lowered his head a little embarrassed to settle the bill for him.
"68 in total, thank you."
Just as she pushed the scanned condom back, a hand suddenly covered it and almost held her hand.
The touch of a moment also made Jiang Ke as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
She was startled, quickly retracted her hand, and looked at the drunk uncle in front of her in a bit of a hurry.
"Y-What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man squinted his eyes and looked at the tender little girls in front of him, as if they were not yet adults, and their fair little faces were full of natural powder, like freshly picked peaches.
"Little girl, why are you working here? Isn't there a shortage of money? Do you want to go with your uncle? 1,000 yuan at a time, which is much better than if you were working here. β
The man's disgusting words reached his ears, as if a piercing chill penetrated his back, Jiang Ke felt that the blood in his whole body was almost frozen, and took a big step back.
"Excuse me!" She spoke softly, without a deterrent effect.
The man glanced at the small door next to the cash register, and suddenly pulled his legs and rushed over there.
When Jiang Ke wanted to stop him, he was already a step too late, and the man had already rushed into the small door and walked into the small space inside the cash register, blocking Jiang Ke's way.
Jiang Ke's hair stood on end all over his body, his eyes were full of fear, and he looked around, but he didn't find the weapon in his hand.
At this time, the greasy man also stretched out his hand to her, getting closer and closer.
