“Open and convenient, Xiaoxu is always welcome.”

But unexpectedly, the person who replied to her was not Qi Yue, but Qi Kai who was online instantly after she sent this message.

Replied almost instantly——

Immediately afterwards, Qi Yue's three shocked expressions were displayed in the dialog box!

A small two-story bookstore is located at the intersection of a not-busy street. Inside, there is a young man wearing a clerk's uniform.

"Brother, was it you just now? Your account was hacked, right..."

"Nonsense, who can steal my account!"

The man sitting in a corner of the bookstore, working quickly on the keyboard, replied to him without raising his head.

The clerk dressed up as Qi Yue who had previously appeared outside Shangyou Hotel to rescue Qi Xu.

The other clerk in front of the computer, who is also the store manager, is his brother, Qi Kai.

Qi Yue looked at his brother several times to confirm that it was him.

"Brother, are you possessed by someone? Don't you never participate in group chats?"

Qi Kai simply moved to the other side of the table holding the notebook in front of him, too lazy to talk to him!

At this time, the group message box with a blank name flashed again, accompanied by the sound of Didi, causing Qi Yue to turn on his phone again.

"I've already stepped out of the subway. Are you the only two here? Have something to drink and I'll bring it over by the way!"

There happens to be a tea shop at the subway entrance. Although the quality is not very high, it was not only full of people at this time, but there were also four or five people queuing up at the door to take out. It seemed like the business was pretty good.

"Sister Xiao Xu, why don't you come and buy something to drink? You're so polite!"

"I just want a glass of ice cream!"

Qi Yue sent out two messages with flying fingers.

Immediately afterwards, he received a reproachful look from Qi Kai.

A few more seconds passed, and Qi Xu, who had yet to receive any message from Qi Kai, sent another message.

"What about the others?"

"my brother?"

"My brother doesn't need it!"

But before Qi Yue's second message was sent, Qi Kai snatched the phone away. At the same time, Qi Kai sent a sentence in the message box.

"Same as yours."

"Okay, then just wait a moment, I'll be here soon!"

After Qixu finished sending the message, he followed the people in line in front of him.

She was really lucky. Two of the people in line in front of her were lovers, and only the girl asked for a drink. The other person seemed to be in a hurry, so he suddenly received a call and left in a hurry.

In this way, she only needs to wait for the person in front to finish buying before it is her turn!

However, just when the people in front got their drinks and were about to leave, they were suddenly penetrated by a mother and daughter!

"Boss, we want two cups of strawberry custard!"

The little girl who was being led turned around and made a face to the long team, "A little bit..."

Before Qi Xu said anything, a couple lining up behind her mumbled their dissatisfaction.

"What kind of quality? Everyone is queuing up, why should they be allowed to go first..."

The little girl's mother seemed to have an unusually good ear. She took out her mobile phone and was about to pay. When she heard someone talking about her, she turned around and yelled.

"That's better than some people talking nonsense behind my back! Didn't you see that I am a woman with a child? Didn't your parents teach you to be polite?"

"I only know that my fist is very hard!"

The man in the couple was about to roll up his sleeves as he spoke, as if he was about to come over with his fist in the next second.

"Why, you still want to hit someone in broad daylight? Here comes someone, someone is going to hit someone!"

The girl's mother shouted, causing passers-by to stop.

"If anyone wants to hit you, I'm afraid of getting my hands dirty!"

Qixu, who had been fiddling with his cell phone, turned around and realized that the man was a social young man with a knife tattooed on his arm. The girl pulled him to signal him not to be impulsive.

"We two are so pitiful. We can be bullied on the street..."

The girl's mother seemed not to let him go, and continued to shout, causing dissatisfaction among those waiting in line behind her.

"Girl, tell me, are they the ones who jumped in front of you? Don't let anyone tell you what they dare to do!"

The man was very irritated by the noise from the girl's mother and immediately asked Qi Xu.

"Three glasses of iced Coke are ready, which guest belongs to them!"

At this time, the guy at the front desk suddenly shouted to the crowd while carrying a bag.

Qi Xu immediately smiled at the girl's mother and said, "I'm sorry, I'm fine, please give me a break!"

The girl's mother immediately became angry, "Why should I do it for her first? She is obviously at the back!"

The guy at the front desk handed Qi Xu three cups of packaged Coke and explained kindly.

"I'm sorry, the drinks in our store are all made according to the order of ordering. This lady has already ordered a delivery and pick-up order. If you don't plan to order, please let the customers behind you order first!"

"I order!"

Hearing what the guy at the front desk said, the girl's mother suddenly glared at Qi Xu's back angrily.

Although she could jump in line with her children, she had not placed an order after all, and there was really no reason to stop the tea shop from taking delivery orders first.

Even if she was justified in jumping in line, there was no reason why she couldn't let people take her ordered drinks away, so she could only hold her breath.

And the people behind the queue who were dissatisfied with the two women also felt comfortable physically and mentally. They just jumped in line and made excuses. This kind of people can't talk nonsense to her and just place the order first and pick up the goods first. Even if she looks anxious, it's useless!

However, many people have gradually come to realize that they didn’t expect that by using the delivery and pick-up method, they can move the order number forward, which saves so much time!

After leaving, Qixu didn't know that the tea shop launched a small program for advance reservations the next day, and there were no more disputes over queuing in front of the store.

Qixu almost ran to the small bookstore. At this time, there were only three or two people reading quietly in the bookstore.

Because it is the last station of the subway, there are no big shopping malls around, and there are not many residential buildings, so unless some people really like to read quietly, few people will come here.

"Aftertaste Bookstore", as its name suggests, the books in this small bookstore are not the current best-sellers. They are either some historical ancient books, or some popular literary books in the last century, and some books that are almost unknown on the market.

Reissued anecdotes...

In today's Internet age where the amount of information is exploding, such a small bookstore has little appeal to customers. Sometimes Qixu wonders what they rely on to maintain the operation of this bookstore.

"Sister Xiao Xu, you are finally here. Brother Kai and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Qi Yue spoke, but his eyes did not leave the three cups of Coke in Qi Xu's hand.

"Are you and Qi Kai the only ones here today?"

Qi Xu didn't expose him and handed him the two drinks in his hand.

"Xiaohua went to buy new books, but she's not here..."

Xiaohua is another clerk in the bookstore. Like the Qi brothers, she works as an ordinary clerk during the day and does her own thing at night. But in Qixu's eyes, Xiaohua is just a girl in her early twenties, even better than her.

Still a year younger, this kind of work should be done by two grown men.

"You two men, let this little girl do this?"

Qi Xu was a little troubled by the behavior of these two straight men, and said slightly dissatisfied.

"Sister Xiao Xu, it's not like you don't know that there is no shortage of books in our bookstore..."

It means that Xiaohua is not really going to buy new books.

Qi Xu nodded clearly, asked no more questions, and followed him deeper into the bookstore.

The bookstore only has two floors, but the design is very clever. Whether it is on the first or second floor, there are winding paths. If there are not many people, you will not be able to see anyone else three meters away, so you will not be able to see anyone else until you reach the first floor.

Only then did he see Qi Kai, who was typing away on his laptop.

At the same time that Qi Xu saw him, he also raised his head and stopped what he was doing.

When Qi Xu met his gaze, her eyes were instantly filled with thick confusion...

She was very sure that this was the first time she had met the legendary "great god" Qi Kai. Although she had had phone and online contact before, she usually met Qi Yue and Xiao Hua more often. In addition,

I know that there is another "Brother Xuan" in their team who has never shown up, but...

The way Qi Kai looked at her was very unusual, as if they had known each other for a long time and had an inexplicable connection. But when she wanted to see something through the other person's eyes, Qi Kai instantly concealed all her emotions and looked again.

It felt as if we had met each other for the first time, and there was even a hint of surprise.

"Hello, I'm Qixu. It's our first time meeting you. I didn't bother you, did I?"

Out of politeness, Qi Xu took the initiative to greet him with a smile.

The disappointment flashed across Qi Kai's eyes, but this time it was not caught by Qi Xu.
