I drove my motorcycle and stopped in front of a milk tea shop. Through the window, I saw her bending over, wearing a blue bib, wiping the table.
This summer, Xiang Qianlan has been working here at night.
My heart suddenly twitched for no apparent reason, and I subconsciously pushed the door open and walked in. I sat by the window and shouted, "Beauty, I want a cup of the sourest milk tea in your store."
She saw that it was me, but didn't show any surprise.
"Guest, a cup of lemon tea?"
“Is lemon tea the sourest?”
"If that's what you want, we can do it."
"I want the sweetest one."
"I'd like to order you a cup of honey grapefruit tea, very sweet, is that ok?"
"Listen to you."
I watched her take notes in the notebook, then turned and went to the front desk. The air conditioning in the milk tea shop was turned on very low. I was a complete fool, shivering with cold, but my eyes did not forget to follow her back.
Five minutes later, she brought two cups of milk tea and placed them on my table: "Enjoy your meal."
I tilted my head back and grinned at her: "Beauty, can you have a drink with me? I'll give you a sweet one." I pushed a cup of milk tea across the table.
"Sorry, we don't provide such a service," she said.
"Huh!" I scratched my hair proudly and said, "Then I will make a scene and disturb your work. I am a little hooligan and I keep my word."
She glanced at me, perhaps wondering if I was lying, but she didn't make a statement. Instead, she turned around and talked to a woman with yellow hair, then sat down opposite me and said, "If I have a drink with you, I can go to work?"
I nodded. “Yeah.”
After I finished speaking, she picked up the cup of milk tea, tore off the plastic seal on the rim of the cup, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Now that you've finished your drink, please go ahead." She smiled, turned around and walked away.
She is really, really interesting and makes me love her to the core.
I simply stopped drinking the milk tea and crossed my arms to watch her busying about. Little hedgehog, what a cute child. My irritable mood gradually calmed down and a soft feeling grew in my heart.
Qi Beichen didn't come to pick her up that day, so she went home alone after get off work.
I was riding my motorcycle, following her at a snail's pace. I was thinking about what topic to talk about when she turned around.
She said, “Why are you following me?”
"Let me take you home," I said. "I'm afraid someone will covet your beauty and do something bad to you." She turned and left, and I smiled lovingly at her back.
It seems that she still doesn't know how lethal her beauty is.
I followed her almost to the door of her home in Tongluo Lane, and then I said to her, "Good night, beautiful." She didn't look at me, didn't respond to me, and walked towards the door. I saw her open the door, close the door, and soon the lights in the room on the second floor came on.
So I looked at the light in her window, leaned against the motorcycle and lit a cigarette. After smoking it, I turned and left.
The next day, I went to see her again.
As soon as I entered the milk tea shop, I saw Qi Beichen sitting in the seat where I sat yesterday. His eyes followed her, but of course she ignored him and was politely greeting the customers.
When Qi Beichen saw me come in, he seemed very interested, so I sat down opposite him.
After a while, she came up to me and asked me, "What would you like to drink?"
I pointed to the coffee cup in front of Qi Beichen: "Same as him."
The coffee was served quickly, I took a sip, and spat it out.
Oh my god, I am going to die of suffering! Does Qi Beichen think he is Dou E? Is he so wronged?
"Oh, by the way." Qi Beichen said, "I forgot to tell you that I don't add sugar to my coffee."
I stubbornly kept silent, suppressed the urge to vomit, drank the cup of coffee in one gulp, then slammed the cup on the table, as heroically as if I had finished a bottle of beer.
"Don't come and disturb her life." Qi Beichen said, "You are not suitable for her at first glance, not to mention that I am dating her now."
I laughed exaggeratedly, and then said to him, "Do you want to know what is the best thing in the world? Let me tell you, it is other people's things. I have liked to steal things since I was a child."
Qi Beichen pursed his lips tightly, stretched out a finger, lowered his voice and said: "Try it."
I know he's lacking confidence.
Hehe, my little hedgehog, no, my Lanlan, I decided to call her Lanlan, it seems more intimate. She doesn't like him very much, I know that.
I took out a lighter from my pocket, the flame shone on my face, and I took two puffs when Lanlan appeared. She said to me, "Sorry, sir, smoking is not allowed in the store."
She looks so beautiful when she is serious.
"Okay, since you said it's not allowed, I won't smoke." I put out the cigarette with a smile, threw it into the trash can, spread my hands and chuckled, "Is that ok?"
She bit her lip gently and said, "Thank you."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Qi Beichen looked at me with gritted teeth.
I shook my legs, picked up a toothpick to pick my teeth, and answered him affirmatively: "To pick up your girlfriend."
Qi Beichen must have been so angry that he stamped his feet in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He took a sip of coffee slowly, looked at me with pitiful eyes and said, "You have no chance."
"It's okay." I said, "Lanlan is not interested in you. You must have used despicable means to make her agree to date you. You can't even get into her heart, so what should I be afraid of."
Qi Beichen said nothing.
I said to him, "I'm going to pee."
I was walking towards the bathroom, not noticing that I had just finished mopping the floor, and I fell flat on my face. I was very dignified and didn't cry out in pain. Then I lay on the ground, turned my head towards Lan Lan, and screamed, "Ouch! I fell down, and I needed the most beautiful waitress in your store to help me up."
Lan Lan saw that everyone's eyes were on her, so she put down the rag in her hand and walked towards me. A figure blocked her way.
"I come."
Qi Beichen grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I broke free from his hand and said, "Are you the most beautiful waiter? I want to change someone else!"
Qi Beichen pulled me up and pushed me away. His grip was so strong that I grimaced in pain. Qi Beichen said to me, "If I help you, I'm afraid I'll dirty the hands of the most beautiful waiter. It's the same if the most handsome customer helps you."
"Are you so shameless?"
"A little worse than you."
I felt a little depressed. The man in front of me was more difficult to deal with than I thought. I thought he was a rich but brainless young man, but I didn't expect that he was a cunning fox like me.
I returned to my seat dejectedly, followed by Qi Beichen.
I glared at him and he ignored me. We each drank two cups of coffee, three cups of water, two cups of tea, ate two pieces of matcha cake and a sandwich.
I think there must be something wrong with Qi Beichen's bladder, otherwise why did he only go to the toilet once with so much water in his stomach?
Lanlan didn't get off work until nine o'clock in the evening. She refused my offer to see her off and also refused Qi Beichen's offer.
I knew it, they must be in a “fake relationship”, Qi Beichen is so insidious.
Lan Lan didn't look at us, she walked ahead alone, Qi Beichen and I followed her, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. My motorcycle and Qi Beichen's car were both left in front of the milk tea shop.
After walking for a while, Lanlan suddenly squatted down, her body trembling a little.
Qi Beichen and I both noticed that something was wrong with her, so we rushed over together. Qi Beichen saw that her forehead was covered in sweat, so he picked her up sideways.
"Put her down."
"Qi Beichen, let her go!"
I grabbed Lan Lan's left arm and screamed. Qi Beichen shook me off and said fiercely, "Let go of me, I'm her boyfriend!"
I looked at him and almost punched him.
Lan Lan closed her eyes slightly, beads of sweat rolling down her face. She said with difficulty: "Put me down, I can walk."
Qi Beichen didn't get a taxi, so he ran with her in his arms. I paused for a second, then quickly caught up with him. This place was too far from the hospital, so Qi Beichen, like I thought, sent Lanlan to the nearest health center.
At 9:40, the nurse with a watermelon hairpin on her head came out of the room and said only one sentence to us: "She had dysmenorrhea, but she is fine now."
I looked up and saw Qi Beichen's unnatural face. I touched my nose and felt a little embarrassed. Then, as if by tacit agreement, we walked out at the same time.
When I came back, Lanlan was sitting on a chair and the nurse was talking to her, telling her not to work so hard and to get enough rest during her menstrual period.
Qi Beichen put a few packets of Chinese medicine on the table in front of Lanlan, and I put a few bottles of unknown medicine on it. Qi Beichen also went to the pharmacy?
Lanlan's expression was no longer so scary. She looked at us with an inexplicable look, and then unexpectedly accepted it. Then, I heard her say softly, "You all go back. I can go home by myself."
Qi Beichen glanced at me and I walked out. Unexpectedly, Qi Beichen also walked out.
After Lan Lan came out of the clinic, Qi Beichen and I secretly followed her until she returned home safely. A strange thought came to my mind: if we were not rivals in love, Qi Beichen and I might have become brothers who would stick together through thick and thin.
Now, we have to stab each other.
I was thinking about what to do next. I was very clear that I was not as rich as Qi Beichen.
If Lanlan is with me in the future, I can't let her suffer with me. After realizing this, I acted quickly.
Recently, Langzi and Xiaoshuai were discussing opening a store together. I had no interest at first, but when I thought this might be an opportunity, I withdrew all the money in my bank card and said I wanted to invest.
This is the living expenses that Chai Kefu gives me every month. I eat and drink freely everywhere, and I save a lot of money, tens of thousands of dollars. I decided to invest it all in Langzi and Xiaoshuai’s “entrepreneurship”.
Lanlan refused to listen to anyone's advice. She went to work as usual the next day, like a robot that never gets tired.
I really have no idea what to do.
It seems that Qi Beichen has also advised her and even wanted her to work in his family's company, but Lanlan refused. She was so stubborn that it made people feel distressed.
I didn't go to the milk tea shop again. I decided to make money. I looked forward to the day when I could give a sack of money to Lanlan. When I thought of the expression on her face, I was instantly filled with fighting spirit.
Langzi called me half a month later. At that time, I was working in a car repair shop during the summer vacation. I crawled out from under the dirty car and answered his call with greasy hands. Before I could tease him, Langzi said in a trembling voice: "Brother Chaiquan, we were cheated."
I almost jumped up from the ground, threw the wrench in my hand, and said to the prodigal son, "Wait for me to come over."
I left the auto repair shop and rode my motorcycle to the prodigal's house.
I dropped my motorcycle and ran to his door. The door was not closed and Xiao Shuai was there. When he saw me coming in, he walked towards me and shouted, "Brother Chaiquan, we've been cheated! The man who said he would rent us the storefront is a liar."
"Don't be in a hurry, explain things clearly." I leaned against the wall, took out the cigarette box, and shook out a cigarette, but found that I didn't have a lighter with me. Langzi hurriedly lit the cigarette for me. His hands were a little shaking, and he tried twice before he could light it.
So, I held a cigarette in my mouth and listened to them tell me what happened.
Langzi and Xiaoshuai wanted to open a mobile phone accessories store. They pooled together enough money and went online to look for store transfer information. A scammer targeted them, and they met with the scammer. The scammer acted very similarly and said some lies about having urgent matters at home and wanting to transfer the store at a low price. Langzi and Xiaoshuai didn't take it seriously and paid a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan. When they called the scammer the next day, they found out that the scammer had disappeared.
"You guys believe such a lame excuse?" I threw the cigarette on the ground and crumpled it, furious. "At least go to the actual store and take a look."
"It's because the transfer price is low, so I thought I'd pay the deposit to settle it, and made an appointment to go see the store the next day..." The prodigal son said timidly.
"What the hell are you looking at? Now all your money is gone." I was almost pissed off by these two idiots.
"Brother Chai Quan, don't worry. We will return your 40,000 yuan to you." Xiao Shuai quickly tried to smooth things over.
"It's not about the money. You guys scraped together your own money. How can you pay me back?" I sat on the windowsill. Seeing that they were inexplicably nervous, I didn't want to scold them anymore. I lowered my voice and asked, "How much did you cheat?"
"Thirty thousand, and I treated that kid to a meal, which cost several hundred yuan."
"Forget it." I squeezed out two words from between my teeth, and then said, "Just take it as a lesson. Business is not that easy to do."
"Brother Chaiquan, you don't blame us anymore?"
I punched the prodigal on the shoulder: "Strange, why not? The food stall treated me to a late-night snack, and I can forget about this matter."
I see myself in their eyes, so cool and handsome.
