To Oak

Zhu Miao was numb all over, and her whole body seemed to have disappeared, except for two lips and a tongue.

Suddenly, just when Zhu Miao was in a daze, Xiang Shu's half-closed eyes opened, and he blinked, as if he just woke up, and pushed Zhu Miao away.

Zhu Miao was still in a daze, her mouth was still half open, her lips were wet and glistening, her cheeks and eyes were red.

"Fuck me." Xiang Shu stood up, took a step back, and his back was pushed against the edge of the bar.

Just now, Zhu Miao felt that she was blowing up like fireworks in the sky. In just two seconds, the fireworks quickly exploded and burned, and then annihilated.Zhu Miao lowered her head, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

Almost at the same time as Zhu Miao, Xiang Shu also said "I'm sorry", he said: "I'm sorry, I thought it was..."

His voice was very low. Zhu Miao didn't hear what it was.His heart couldn't stop sinking, he said: "It's my fault, I kissed you secretly."

Xiang Shu didn't answer his words, took off the apron and hung it back up, saying: "It's too late, I'll go back first, you go to bed early, don't write too late."

Zhu Miao's position happened to block the only exit from the bar, and he was still thinking about what Xiang Shu said just now.What Xiang Shu thought it was, Zhu Miao thought of the scratches on Xiang Shu's back out of time, and kissed another lover with him absent-mindedly.Zhu Miao felt extremely embarrassed, his eyes were astringent, so he had no choice but to say: "I, I am because..."

Xiang Shu asked, "What?"

"It's because..." Zhu Miao raised her head and forced a smile, "Because I've never been in a relationship before, I don't know...just curious, I won't be anymore...sorry."

Xiang Shu seemed to be relieved, but his brows were still furrowed, and he seemed angry, but Zhu Miao didn't dare to look at his face at all.

"I go first."

Xiang Shu didn't answer Zhu Miao's words, turned sideways and went out beside him, pushed the door open and left without looking back.It took a bit of force to push the door. After the door was closed, the bell hanging on the door was still ringing.Zhu Miao vented all her energy, squatted down with her back against the bar, sat on the ground with her hands on her knees, stared blankly for a while, rubbed her eyes, stood up again, and continued to do her homework.

The strange thing is that Zhu Miao was extraordinarily calm, neither sad nor overthinking. He quickly finished his homework and memorized twenty words. When it was time to go to bed, he lay on the soft couch, smelling Smelling the smell of the cat, he fell asleep quickly without tossing and turning.

It's just that when she woke up the next day, Zhu Miao felt numb on the tip of her heart, as if someone was pinching her all the time, which made her unable to lift her spirits.When school was over, he came back to the store and saw Xiang Shu behind the bar at a glance. The two made eye contact and quickly separated. Zhu Miao felt even more uncomfortable, and suddenly realized that it was Xiang Shu who was pinching his heart.

Zhu Miao has been studying hard recently. Except for Lin Zhou, the teachers of the other subjects are very happy to hear it.The progress of underachievers is what the teachers are most happy to see. They are even more excited than seeing top students make progress.

He does his homework on the second floor, and Xiang Shu guards the shop on the first floor.

Normally, Zhu Miao would be very embarrassed, and he would try his best to go downstairs to help. After all, being taken in and taken care of is already very good, and it is too unreasonable to have to eat and drink for nothing.But Zhu Miao didn't want to go downstairs at all today. It was much more comfortable to stay with Job and the cat than with Xiang Shu.

Today Friday, there were quite a lot of people in the store, and the small tables in the store were almost full. Zhu Miao also heard the voice of a child. He looked out from the railing on the second floor. I saw two couples with a seven or eight-year-old boy.

The little boy was very excited to see some cats in the store.The cat hid when it saw the child, but the child grabbed the cat by the tail. Zhu Miao was startled when he saw it. Xiang Shu walked over and picked up the cat. , Xiang Shu said: "Let go."

The kid pursed his lips, let go, and ran back to his parents. Xiang Shu put the cat on the stairs, patted the cat's buttocks, and the cat ran up to the second floor and nestled on Zhu Miao's lap.

The little boy was still making noise in a low voice, saying he wanted to play with the cat. His mother coaxed him: "The cat ran to the second floor, you go and have a look?"

Xiang Shu interrupted loudly: "The second floor is closed."

His voice was a bit loud, his face was very smelly, and the store was suddenly quiet. Zhu Miao felt a little nervous when he saw it.Fortunately, Xiang Shu's stature and colorful arms still looked very intimidating, and the family of three ordered coffee without saying anything.Just when Zhu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, Xiang Shu also made coffee and sent it over.

The man in the family of three started to find fault after taking a sip.

He seemed to know a little bit about coffee, and he said that the brewing was not good. At the beginning, Xiang Shu answered him patiently—there are sometimes such picky customers in coffee shops, but this man is picky from the degree of grinding. When it came to the water temperature, he said that the flavor was wrong, and that the barista’s technique was not good, and the voice was still loud, and the whole store looked at him sideways.

Without further ado, Xiang Shu went up to bring back the coffee he had taken a sip of, and poured it all into the sink with a "crash".

Zhu Miao stood up in fright on the second floor, and the cat jumped off his lap.Usually, Xiang Shu was more gentle and thoughtful than Yi Ning when guarding the shop. Today, it was indeed this man who found fault, but it was rare to see Xiang Shu's face so stinky. He was also wearing sleeveless today, with a The rose gold plain bracelet, with the flower arm exposed, looks grumpy.

He said: "Don't drink if it doesn't taste good."

The man couldn't save his face, so he stood up all at once, but he was not tall, so he lost his momentum in front of Xiang Shu, which made him even more angry.Relying on his status as a customer, he went up and pushed Xiang Shu provocatively. Xiang Shu didn't talk nonsense with him, but grabbed his collar and threw him back. The man's back hit the shelf, and there were several The cup fell and "cracked" all over the ground.

Zhu Miao screamed and hurried downstairs. Xiang Shu gritted his back teeth, his jawline was as sharp as a knife, and clenched his fists as if he wanted to beat someone. The customers in the shop were all terrified.Zhu Miao hurriedly rushed over and separated the two with great strength.

The man was still yelling: "What kind of store are you, you still beat people..."

Zhu Miao leaned against Xiang Shu with her back, and almost couldn't resist, Zhu Miao said loudly: "There is surveillance in the store, you did it first—"

The man glanced at Xiang Shu, still swearing harshly, and took his wife and children away cursing. Zhu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Xiang Shu's arm, fearing that he would chase him out.Xiang Shu's arm muscles were tense, as if he was really angry.Except for beating Lin Zhou last time, Zhu Miao had never seen him so angry.

Zhu Miao pushed and pulled Xiang Shu into the courtyard, apologized to the customers in the store, and said that he would give them free orders.

After all the guests had left, Zhu Miao opened the door carefully, and looked into the yard. There was no one in the yard, only Xiang Shu, who smelled of cigarettes, and there was a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray. .

Zhu Miao said, "I've given other guests free orders, is that okay?"

Xiang Shu gave an expressionless "hmm".

Zhu Miao asked again: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Xiang Shu held a cigarette in his hand, and seeing Zhu Miao's worried face, he became even more angry. He couldn't understand why he was angry, so he pinched the cigarette and said, "No."
