Probably because it was lunch time, there were not many customers in this dessert shop called "Xingji Dessert".
The bright sunshine at noon shines in from the large floor-to-ceiling window that occupies an entire wall, drawing a clear dividing line in this small shop with only a few dozen square meters.
The swing-style seat sways gently, making a slight creaking sound. Order a cup of coffee or juice, listen to the soft background music, smell the sweet and fresh smell of cream and fruit in the air, and look out the window.
The bustling crowds on the street seemed like time was starting to feel lazy at this moment.
"Sir, who are you?"
Li Mengnan had just found a corner to sit down under the sun, when a voice as soft and sweet as a glutinous rice dumpling came from beside him.
Before turning his head to see his face clearly, Li Mengnan's eyes were directly drawn away by the faint ravine at the neckline of the beige plaid skirt imitating a maid's uniform. He was about to praise the conscience of this dessert shop, but suddenly he heard the words in front of him.
The service girl exclaimed.
"Meng...Brother Meng Nan?"
Come on! This time Li Mengnan didn't have to look up to know who the "broad-minded" girl in front of him was. Currently, the only one in the world who calls him this name is Qing Che.
Qingche didn't expect to see Li Mengnan here. He was happy and a little nervous at the same time. He glanced in the direction of the counter and saw that the landlady was only playing with her mobile phone with her head down and didn't notice her. She couldn't help but feel slightly.
Breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qingche? Why are you here? Don't you have to go to school?" Li Mengnan asked strangely. He remembered that today was not a day off.
"This is a shop opened by a relative of one of my classmates. I've been working here for a while... But don't worry, Brother Meng Nan, I didn't skip classes. I worked part-time, and I came to work after school and on days off.
of."
Probably because he was afraid that chatting for too long would make the landlady suspicious, Qingche explained in a low voice and then deliberately said loudly: "Sir, our store's special offer today is this strawberry potted plant. Do you want one?"
Li Mengnan took the dessert order from Qing Che, pretended to ask, and said with a smile: "Work-study is a good thing, but you don't have to work so hard, right?"
Qing Che was startled, and then following Li Mengnan's line of sight, he understood that he was talking about the neckline that revealed a small part of his career line. He couldn't help but blush, and blocked it with the dessert list in his hand, and said awkwardly: "Brother Meng Nan, don't get me wrong.
This uniform is not custom-made, but comes in one size fits all. It’s okay for others to wear it, but it looks like this when I wear it... I really didn’t mean to show so much. If you don’t like it, I, I’ll do it now
Quit this job."
"Okay, I'm just teasing you, don't be so nervous."
Li Mengnan was just joking. The weather has not completely cooled down yet, and there are so many low-cut and deep-V girls on the street. Qingche's career line is nothing compared to it.
However, just because of a joke, this little girl was so nervous about his opinion, which moved Li Mengnan very much.
"How is this job? Is it hard?"
Li Mengnan's concern made Qing Che suddenly feel warm in his heart. He shook his head and said: "This is not a restaurant, and customers will not come at the same time. Moreover, they are only responsible for ordering and delivering desserts to the guests. There is nothing too tiring.
Work is just..."
"Just what?"
"No, no, actually it's nothing, it's not a big deal." Qing Che hesitated to speak.
Li Mengnan can naturally tell that the little girl is hiding something, but this is Qingche's personal privacy after all, and judging from the current emotional stability of the little girl, it is obvious that what she encountered is not a big deal, it is probably just a little.
Trouble at work.
"If anything happens, you must call me, you know?" Although Li Mengnan believed that Qingche could handle this little matter, he still felt it was necessary to remind him.
"I won't bother you anymore, Brother Meng Nan, I can handle it." Qing Che waved his hand in a hurry.
"It hurts me so much to say such things to outsiders. You are my future girlfriend. If you suffer any loss, doesn't it mean I suffer a loss? Is it unbearable for an uncle or an aunt?
It’s unbearable, isn’t it?”
Although to Li Mengnan, what the little girl said about his girlfriend's substitute was just a childish joke, but I have to say that this reason is still very useful when facing this little girl.
"Well, Brother Meng Nan, I listen to you."
This was the first time Qing Che heard Li Mengnan admit her identity as a "girlfriend substitute", and she felt happy. When the people around her were not paying attention, she gently pulled Li Mengnan's hand on the table, and then blushed shyly.
Lower your head.
Li Mengnan was also a little heartbroken by Qing Che's sudden move. He quickly changed the topic to cover up his embarrassment, coughed dryly and said: "By the way, Qing Che, you seem to be only thirteen years old, right? This store still recruits
child labor?"
Qingche hurriedly raised his finger to Li Mengnan and made a shushing gesture, lowering his voice and saying: "I told the owner of the store that I was eighteen years old, but you must not tell anyone..."
"Eighteen years old? This is..."
Li Mengnan was about to say, "Some people can believe this," but he suddenly swallowed it back because he realized that it was actually not outrageous.
Although the little girl Qingche is not very old in actual age, she has developed very early. She may be suspected if she says she is eighteen years old, but some people will definitely believe her if she says she is sixteen years old. It is indeed not possible to put on a little more mature makeup and pretend to be an adult.
Someone will see it.
"Ha, I hope no one checks your ID card." Li Mengnan laughed dryly.
"The boss lady wants to check, but I said that I lost my ID card and it will take time to get a replacement. If she doesn't need me, I will go to the dessert shop opposite, and then she will leave me here quickly."
Speaking of this matter, Qingche couldn't help but laugh, obviously very proud of his little tricks.
"Haha, if she dares not to keep you, this store's sales will drop by at least ten percentage points."
Li Mengnan could imagine the look on the boss's wife's face at that time. In this society where one-third of the day is doomed, seven-tenths of it depends on hard work, and the remaining ninety-tenths depends entirely on appearance. A rare and cute girl like Qingche with a childlike face and big breasts, no matter where she goes,
You can directly boost a store's sales anywhere. It doesn't matter if you don't hire someone, but it would be terrible if it was acquired by a competitor.
"No way, Brother Meng Nan, you can only choose nice things to coax me. You are a bad person."
The little girl happily covered her blushing face with the dessert sheet. She finally knew that she was going to give Li Mengnan the bad guy card, which was really a big improvement.
"By the way, Brother Mengnan, why did you come here? Have you made an appointment?" Qingche finally remembered what he originally wanted to ask.
"how do you know?"
Li Mengnan was a little surprised. Qingche had always given him the impression that he was the kind of stupid girl who stayed deep and was naturally cute. How could she suddenly become so sharp today?
"Experience!" Qingche waved his hand sheepishly, "Generally speaking, only female customers will come to the store to eat desserts alone, and if male customers come alone, they are basically here to wait for someone, and 100%
It’s a woman you’re waiting for.”
"Okay, I admit, I'm just here to wait for someone, and what I'm waiting for is 100%." Li Mengnan simply showed off his cards directly. Anyway, Le Youyou will arrive soon, and there is nothing to hide.
After receiving Li Mengnan's personal admission, the little girl's expression became obviously a little unnatural. Obviously this answer shocked her a bit, but fortunately she still remembered the agreement between the two and the "substitute" behind her name.
He didn't bother with the word "two words". He just tried his best to make a normal expression and asked in a low voice: "Who is that girl...?"
"We made an appointment to meet here. Based on your experience, what do you think?" Seeing Qing Che's complicated expression of conflict and complacency, Li Mengnan couldn't help but want to tease this little girl.
"Brother Meng Nan, you said you don't have a girlfriend now, so... it should be... the girl you are pursuing now, right?"
Qingche was a little disappointed. Apart from couples, the only people she saw dating in the store were men and women who were about to become lovers.
"Okay, don't put on that bitter face that looks like you've been abandoned. It's true that I'm a girl, but I'm just a female friend. We made an appointment here to talk about something. It's not as fussy as you think."
Qing Che's resentful eyes and slightly pouted mouth at this moment almost made people look cute. If there weren't people around watching, Li Mengnan really wanted to reach out and pinch her.
"Really?" The little girl immediately beamed with joy and changed her expression as fast as flipping through a book. "Then, let me treat you to dessert. Store employees like us have the authority to sign half-price orders three times a day..."
"Okay, but let's wait until the others arrive." Li Mengnan smiled and did not reject Qing Che's kindness.
At this moment, the copper bell on the door of the dessert shop made a clear clanging sound. Le Youyou, wearing an off-white windbreaker, opened the door and walked into the dessert shop. After a brief glance, he found Li Mengnan sitting in the corner.
Smiling and waving to him.
"So it's her?...Then I'll get you desserts and drinks."
Qing Che patted her chest subconsciously. She was completely relieved now. At least in her opinion, Li Mengnan would not fall in love with such a fat girl even if she kept her eyes open.
Although the other person is not ugly, and even looks a little charming if you look closely, his obviously excessive weight cannot be ignored.
After the little girl happily left with the dessert order, Le Youyou walked to the seat opposite Li Mengnan and sat down. He took off his windbreaker to reveal the maroon sweater underneath. He glanced curiously in the direction where Qing Che left and said: "
What on earth did you say just now? To make the waiter and girl so happy? As if you picked up money?"
"When I came in just now, the girl was deeply impressed by my tall and straight jade tree, and secretly slipped me a piece of paper with my mobile phone number on it, but I sternly refused.
I said no, I'm here to wait for someone. Even if you look at me sincerely, I can't do that kind of beastly thing.
The girl was moved to tears on the spot and said, I just like a passionate man like you who has a sense of responsibility. It doesn't matter, even if it is your girlfriend, I am willing to wait for the day when you break up, and you will treat me as your girlfriend.
The replacement is ready.
Well, the whole thing is roughly like this. If there are any differences in details, please refer to the official explanation."
Li Mengnan habitually began to talk nonsense. Of course, it could not be completely regarded as nonsense, at least a large part of it was true.
"Editor, just keep making it up. Such a beautiful little girl, with a rare childlike face and huge breasts, is a dream for otakus. How crazy is it that you have to be to secretly slip a note to you as soon as you meet her?"
Le Youyou curled her lips in disdain. It wasn't the first time she knew that Li Mengnan was talking nonsense. She didn't believe this explanation, which was obviously unreliable at first sight.
"You don't believe it? Do you want to make a bet?" Li Mengnan said with a smile while fiddling with the mobile phone in his hand.
"A bet? What to bet on?"
Le Youyou was surprised, Li Mengnan didn't care about bragging, but he actually dared to challenge her on the spot?
"Don't you believe she left me her cell phone number? I'll call her now. If her cell phone rings, I win. If it doesn't ring, you win. How about that?"
"Okay, what's the bet?" Le Youyou obviously doesn't believe in evil and feels that Li Mengnan is using psychological tactics to deceive her.
"Ladies first, you decide. I don't want one lollipop too little, and I don't want one car too much."
Li Mengnan spread his hands indifferently. It was just a temporary prank and he didn't intend to take it seriously.
"Then let's use this as a bet." After thinking for a while, Le Youyou took out a black IPHONE 6 mobile phone from his bag and placed it on the table. "If you win, this phone will be yours. If you lose,
, that phone of yours belongs to me.”
Li Mengnan was happy and said: "Classmate Youyou, what do you want with my broken mobile phone? It won't hold up even if you smash a walnut..."
"It's just a bet anyway, so why take it seriously? Besides, if I also want an IPHONE 6, do you have one? Are you going to give me a kidney on the spot?"
Le Youyou also said that it doesn't matter. For her, the chips are not the most important, the gambling itself is the greatest fun.
"Then let's wait and see." Li Mengnan picked up the phone and was about to dial. Suddenly he stopped what he was doing and looked at Le Youyou with a half-smile. "Just to confirm for the last time, do you really want to bet with me?"
"Are you afraid?" Le Youyou found that Li Mengnan's words were a sign of guilty conscience.
"No, I just want to confirm it one last time, lest you say I cheated you if I win."
After saying that, Li Mengnan stretched out his finger and swiped the screen of his mobile phone, and quickly dialed Qing Che's mobile phone number.
Le Youyou originally thought that Li Mengnan just made a random call, and then used the excuse that the other party's phone was turned off to fool him. He was already ready to make fun of him, but he didn't expect that a few seconds later, the person not far away was taking orders for another table of customers.
The beautiful little waitress actually had her cell phone ringing.
This... how is this possible? Could it be just a coincidence? Maybe someone just called her, and it happened that Li Mengnan was lucky enough to get away...
As soon as this idea came to mind, Le Youyou saw the pretty little waitress put down the dessert order and hurriedly walked to the corner and took out her mobile phone. She showed an obviously surprised expression when she saw the caller ID, and then looked at their table,
He also shook his head at Li Mengnan with obvious embarrassment.
Li Mengnan put down his cell phone and raised his eyebrows proudly at Le Youyou. His smile with two neat rows of big white teeth could be described as extremely mean.
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? I've said it before, I'm a well-known honest and reliable young man..."
"It's just a phone call. Maybe you saw it on the store's duty list... Besides, she didn't answer the call and kept shaking her head. It's obvious that she doesn't want to talk to you!"
Le Youyou didn't care about the bet, the key was that she didn't want to lose so unclearly.
"If you lose, you lose. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to cheat."
"Hmph, I am not a gentleman to begin with, I am a little girl." Le Youyou was not immune to Li Mengnan's provocation.
"Okay, you are unkind, but I cannot be unjust. I will let you lose today and be convinced. At the same time, I will wash away my unreliable impression in the hearts of the world."
Le Youyou was speechless - Brother, isn't it just a bet? How big a deal is it? Is it necessary to raise one's starting point so infinitely?
Having said that, Le Youyou still cheered up. She wanted to see how Li Mengnan would make a comeback.
Li Mengnan didn't even make a call this time, he just handed it over with a wink.
The little girl didn't know why Li Mengnan suddenly asked her to come over, but she couldn't refuse regardless of business or private matters, so she had to obediently walk up to the two of them.
"Sir, do you need anything?"
"have."
"Then please speak."
"kiss Me."
"Ah?" Qingche almost suspected that he heard wrongly, so he couldn't help but ask again, "What did you just say?"
"Kiss me, here." Li Mengnan smiled and pointed at his cheek.
Le Youyou almost fainted on the spot.
Does Li Mengnan know what he is doing? He is blatantly molesting a waitress in a dessert shop. Does this mean he thinks he is not dying fast enough? As long as the girl just shouts to catch the gangster, believe it or not, he will be able to catch the gangster in minutes.
A dozen strong men jumped out and made you "act bravely"...
But what made Le Youyou almost vomit blood was that although the pretty waitress who was "molested" was extremely shocked, she actually followed the guy's request and pretended to bend down to pick up something when no one was around.
He pecked Li Mengnan lightly on the face, and then ran away quickly with his face flushed.
"Do you believe it now?" Li Mengnan leaned on the back of the seat and crossed his legs with dignity.
"First you ruined my world view with a magic trick, and now you ruined my outlook on life with a pick-up. Why don't you hurry up and destroy my values at some point... Both brothers were killed in the battle, and one of them
It’s quite pitiful to be alone.”
Le Youyou lay on the table in frustration, throwing herself on the street. This time she had completely given up.
"Youyou, classmate, although you are not the first person to have my outlook ruined by me, you will definitely not be the last... And you should feel lucky that some people are with me. Not only are your outlook ruined, but their childhood is also ruined.
destroyed."
Li Mengnan kindly comforted him, if this could be regarded as comfort.
