Shimmer as promised

The scorching sun scorched everyone unscrupulously.The wind is also tired, and only occasionally sends a rare gust of air lazily.

Xu Yao spread his five fingers, glanced at the vicious sun through the gaps between his fingers, sweat slid down his angular face to his chin, wobbled twice, and finally fell to the ground with a "click", leaving A small water stain on the next flower.

His eyes turned to the street corner, where stood a small figure, without any shade to cover it, running around tirelessly forever.

He put away the flyer and walked over: "Xu Weichen!"

The figure turned around, recognized him, and waved happily at him: "President!"

"Yeah." Xu Yao glanced at his sweaty face, "Thank you for your hard work, let me buy you a drink."

Xu Weichen waved his hands again and again, took off his backpack, took out an old plastic water bottle, and shook the remaining half of the bottle of water triumphantly: "I'll just drink this, I brought a lot."

Xu Yao pursed his lips, involuntarily snatched his water bottle and stuffed it into his bag, then dragged him to the commercial street opposite the school.

At the corner of the commercial street, there is a conspicuous orange shop signboard with two large characters - "a cup".

"Huh? When did a new beverage shop open here? The name is so strange..." Xu Weichen used to work in a small shop nearby. Since he was caught by Xu Yao and joined the student union as a strong man, he has found a work-study job for him. , board and lodging are at school, he has not been to the commercial street for a long time.

Xu Yao looked at him, then at the name of the store, and dragged Xu Weichen into the store regardless of Xu Weichen's struggle.

"What do you want to drink?" Xu Yao asked.

Xu Weichen looked up at the menu full of drinks, dazzled by various names.What Simi Luyouge burned fairy grass... He didn't know what these were, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for fear of being laughed at.

"Welcome, what do you want to order?" The waitress with a blonde afro behind the bar asked with a smile.She was tall, her big eyes were painted with delicate eyeliner, she was staring straight at her, Xu Weichen's head was lowered like a wheat ear.

Xu Yao glanced at him, and said coldly to the waitress: "A cup of lemon tea, give him a cup of pearl milk tea."

"Okay!" The waitress shouted behind her, "Lele, a cup of lemon tea and a cup of milk tea!"

"Oh……"

Someone responded, and then something popped out from under the bar, startling Xu Weichen.

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was a boy who was not much taller than the bar counter, with obedient hair combed, picking up a measuring tool and carefully making milk tea.

Xu Yao glanced at Xu Weichen who was beside him again, the two of them looked very stupid.

"It's 45 yuan in total," the waitress said cheerfully, "Please pay first!"

Xu Yao touched his pocket, ready to take out his wallet to pay.

——I didn’t touch it.

He frowned, and carefully fumbled through the pockets and backpacks all over his body.

--still none.

He was a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I forgot my wallet at school..."

"Ah?" The waitress blinked her big eyes and said hurriedly, "Lele don't do it! The customer didn't bring any money!"

"Oh..." the boy slowly put the measuring cup back, muttering and complaining, "I'm already half done..."

"I can't help it. I can't invite guests to drink free drinks, right? I don't care. If 45 finds out, I'm going to gossip again." The waitress comforted him, and the two complained together that they didn't know who they were.

"That... I have money." Xu Weichen interjected weakly while the two were complaining.

"Huh?" The waitress widened her eyes, "What did you say?"

Xu Weichen thought she didn't believe it, so he quickly opened his backpack and took out a handful of small change, including one and two dollars, and the largest one was five dollars.He counted out 45 yuan and pushed it to the waitress: "Here."

"...You should have said it earlier if you had money!" The waitress reluctantly pushed the boy, "Lele, let's make milk tea and lemon tea again!"

"Oh..." The boy sighed heavily, Xu Weichen blushed and hurriedly apologized.

"It's all right." The boy put the finished milk tea on the sealing machine, pressed the handle hard, shook the sealed milk tea up and down, and handed it to Xu Weichen, "Here, your milk tea."

Xu Weichen took it, but the boy didn't go back to make Xu Yao's lemon tea. He stared at the door, as if he had been fixed.

The waitress pinched his face: "What's the matter? 45 won't buy you any snacks?"

Xu Weichen followed his line of sight, the store door was pushed open, a young man with messy hair came in yawning, looked up and saw that everyone in the store was staring at him, he yawned halfway in fright Frozen in the middle, he scratched his head and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

The waitress had no choice but to turn around and make lemon tea and pass it to Xu Yao, and said loudly on purpose: "Try it, it's not good, ask the boss to refund the money!"

The young man rushed over, shaking his head like a rattle: "No refund, no refund! The payment is settled!"

He turned to the boy and tapped the boy's forehead: "Did you not work hard again? The customers will refund their money."

The boy opened his mouth, and the waitress rushed to say, "It's easier to go bankrupt if the boss comes to work only after lunch!"

"Ah... is it time for lunch..." The young man looked at the clock on the wall and asked the boy, "Have you eaten yet?"

The boy shook his head.

"Come on, follow me to Chen Yao's house for lunch!"

The boy raised his head and blinked his eyes: "Skipping work?"

"There is a big treasure, let's go!" said the young man, took the boy's hand, opened the door and escaped before the waitress chased him out.

Xu Weichen watched helplessly as the owner of the beverage shop led the staff in the shop to skip work and took a sip of the milk tea, which was unexpectedly delicious.

The waitress glared at the swaying store door, bent down and took out a "Closed Business" sign and threw it on the bar counter, looking down at the two of them: "After drinking, hurry up, I have to eat."

Xu Weichen was a little speechless: "Why...so casual..."

"Hmph, I'm just a part-time worker, and the boss isn't here, so why bother me!" The waitress pursed her bright red lips in displeasure.

Without saying a word, Xu Yao pulled Xu Weichen out.

On the street, Xu Weichen looked back with nostalgia: "I forgot to ask just now, I don't know if their store is still hiring..."

"What do you want?"

"Come to work, the boss looks very talkative!"

Xu Yao disapprovingly "cut": "With this kind of boss, sooner or later he will go bankrupt, and maybe he won't even be able to pay his wages."

"It makes sense..." Xu Weichen worried sullenly. When the work of the student union is over, where should he continue to work and earn money?

Xu Yao, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, and Xu Weichen accidentally bumped into him: "I'm sorry, President!"

Xu Yao didn't care at all, he stretched out his hand, stroked Xu Weichen's hair, and said seriously: "In the future, I'll be the boss, so come and work for me."

Xu Weichen opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.

The noon sun was scorching like fire, and the young man in the backlight was as determined as a mountain. The sun cast a soft golden light on his body, which was as hazy as a dream.

Xu Weichen nodded vigorously and laughed: "Okay!"
