Ming's Pawnshop

.Since Manli's accident, she has helped me a lot and even found me a lot of temporary jobs.I was also very moved at first, but yesterday she said that she would sell all the property under her name, and she would also act as my agent for Manli.You know, it is impossible for me to leave Manli alone. This job is of great significance to Manli, and it cannot be taken over casually. "

It turned out to be such a mistake. After knowing the ins and outs, Ah Cheng was filled with emotions, thinking that Cheng Jinyun was really harming others and himself. Not only did he hurt Mingtai's closest relatives, but he also lost his The advantage of being liked by him, I'm afraid she also missed the opportunity to make Mingtai really fall in love with her.Even if the starting point is love, the ending is embarrassing.

"And..." I don't know Ah Cheng's inner thoughts, Mingtai here is still hesitating, as if there is something else hidden, "I recently met a person, and I have a different feeling about him."

"Mingtai, you can do it, who else?" Ah Cheng felt a little headache, in his opinion, the young master's emotional world is too complicated.

"A firearms teacher of mine. A while ago I decided to participate in a gunfight drama, and I needed to know some simple firearms knowledge. You know that our country is very strict about this. My photographer is Manli's fiancé, He found a relationship and introduced me to someone, some kind of retired military officer, named Wang Tianfeng."

"Wait, man?" Ah Cheng took a sip of wine and almost spit it out, thinking that this young man's world is really exciting.

"That's right, man. Brother Cheng, don't be so rigid. The society is very open now, and it's very tolerant of these things. Well, you don't mind, do you?"

"No, no, I'm just a little surprised. How could it be?" Ah Cheng quickly waved his hand to deny it, fearing that Mingtai would think that he was really a stubborn old antique, and wouldn't talk to him any more.

Seeing that the expression on Ah Cheng's face did not seem to be fake, and there was indeed no rejection, Mingtai continued: "I can't say it well, it doesn't seem like I like Jin Yun. I only met the teacher a few times, and there is An expectation to see him again."

"Every time I see him, my heart jumps for joy, but I'm always worried about my appearance and clothing, and I'm afraid that I won't be angry with him if I don't do well. When he approaches, I'm so nervous that my whole body will stiffen. When I retreat, I feel a little bit reluctant. Although he is very strict with me, every time I make a mistake, he is merciless, but there is always love in his eyes. Every time it is late, he asks the kitchen to prepare meals for me alone and eat with me. "Mingtai almost sounded like a mosquito after speaking, and his face became more and more red.

When Mingtai was narrating, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at Ah Cheng's expression, but found that the other party had no response after talking for a long time, so he could only secretly look up, and found that Ah Cheng was stunned there like a thunderbolt. As if he didn't notice that he had finished speaking at all, he stretched out his hand and carefully pushed the other party, shouting, "Brother Ah Cheng! Brother Ah Cheng!"

After pushing it several times in a row, Ah Cheng looked at him as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Mingtai, this feeling...is love?"

"Hey, Brother Ah Cheng, don't ask me this," Mingtai scratched his head and sighed, "I still don't understand myself!"

Mingtai drank another three or four glasses while talking, feeling drunk, pestering Ah Cheng to fulfill his promise.There are many things on Ah Cheng's side that are extremely secretive and cannot be disclosed to Mingtai, so he has to pick out some unimportant ones, but Mingtai will not be satisfied with these trivial matters, and just say that Ah Cheng is playing tricks, and refuses to let him go.

At this time, Ah Cheng also drank a lot of wine with him, and became a little drunk. Looking at Mingtai's expectant eyes, he sighed: "Actually, I have an older brother, his name is Minglou. He is said to be a brother , but in fact I have no blood relationship with him, I was just thrown into his care. At that time, I was over 20 and still didn’t understand anything, and I couldn’t help anything, thinking that he would gradually talk to others I hate giving up on me. But I never thought that he would personally take me to read and practice calligraphy, taught me to be reasonable, and made me what I am now. I have never complained. He is the warmest person in my life. If If the feeling you said is love, I'm afraid I..."

"Wow, brotherly love! It's amazing, Brother Ah Cheng." Although Mingtai was already half-drunk listening to other people's gossip, his eyes were still frighteningly bright.

"Oh, I don't have any unrealistic expectations, I just hope that I can be by his side forever."

When it came to the end, both of them felt heavy in their hearts, and they simply let go of their drunkenness. In the end, Mingtai was so drunk that he didn't know what happened to him. Fortunately, Ah Cheng retained the last trace of sobriety, sent him home and returned to the pawnshop.

As soon as he entered the door, Ah Cheng found that Minglou was sitting in the living room waiting for him with an unhappy face. Seeing him come back smelling of alcohol, he even broke out on the spot: "Where did you go and you only come back now? What's wrong with the smell of alcohol?" What's going on? If I don't care about you these days, you will be lawless, right!"

It's a pity that Ah Cheng drank too much tonight, and tried his best to use the last sliver of Qingming to get home. After seeing Minglou, this sliver disappeared without a trace. How can I answer his words, just muttering Calling someone: "Brother... hiccup, brother..."

"Where did you go? Talk!"

"I... hiccup, I'm going to show big brother... the blue and white porcelain vase... put, put it in the study... do you like it, big brother... do you like it..." Some unintelligible nonsense was said in his mouth Ah Cheng's body was limp and about to fall down.

Minglou waited at the pawnshop for a whole day without seeing anyone, anxious and angry, but no matter how angry he was, he couldn't just watch Ah Cheng fall to the ground, so he hurried over to help him.

"Oh, I really owe you!" Seeing the usually shrewd and capable Ah Cheng leaning softly in his arms, still calling himself incessantly, Minglou couldn't get any more anger out of his heart. He can lead people to his room half-supporting and half-embracing.

After finally putting Ah Cheng on his bed, Minglou looked at him for a while, then sighed and turned off the light and left. The desk lamp rummaged through the transaction records of the pawn shop.

The author has something to say: The number of words is just blowing up, and I am too lazy to score two updates. After all, the plot is very complete, so let’s treat it as a bonus

Why did it take so long? I am also reviewing myself. I am tired of the short story that I agreed to become a medium-length one.

CH9

The next day, when Ah Cheng woke up from the hangover, he found that Ming Lou hurried out again, leaving only a breakfast and warm milk in the outer study. Although he was drunk, he still clearly remembered What happened last night, recalling Minglou's ugly face at that time, stuck out his tongue quietly, and quickly drank a mouthful of hot milk to soothe his cramped stomach and tense nerves.

Minglou was not around, so he could only be in charge of the pawnshop business. Pressing his nauseated stomach, Ah Cheng sensed the number of guests who made an appointment today, and heaved a sigh of relief.

When seeing off the last guest who made an appointment, Ah Cheng felt a burst of relief, and was about to go back to his room to check if there was any stomach medicine prepared. Although he was not sure whether the medicine would still work for him, at this moment, he felt A new guest has been sensed.

Yu Manli.

Hearing Mingtai's narration only yesterday, and knowing how important she is to him, Ah Cheng suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and secretly regretted marking it down, but he doesn't have Minglou's authority to prevent guests from entering, and he can't break the rules Refusing the business of the pawn shop, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and stand up to greet him.

Compared with the drunken pretty girl Ah Cheng saw last time, she is now a lot haggard. She is already petite and even so thin that she can be blown away by the wind. It can be seen that this The torment in her heart has not diminished for a few days, and Mingtai's companionship and enlightenment are obviously of no help.

"I heard that you can get anything here?" Yu Manli stared at Ah Cheng as soon as she sat down, her back was stiff, and her face was full of ruthlessness. Ah Cheng knew that this meant that she had made up her mind some kind of determination.

"Yes, Ms. Yu," Ah Cheng wanted to dissuade him again, thinking it was for Mingtai's sake, "I hope you can think about it again. Once you make this choice, there will be no change. You are still young. There will be many other opportunities.”

"Oh, you don't understand, and you don't need to understand. You just need to know that I hope to exchange for artist Mingtai to overcome his career crisis at this stage."

"Miss Yu, I know Mingtai." Seeing that Yu Manli didn't seem to be listening to advice, Ah Cheng had no choice but to use Mingtai's name, "I know you too. I saw you drunk the other day." He fell down in the bar and called the person who came to Mingtai for you, he... After talking to me about your affairs, you and I both know that he will definitely not want you to make such an unwise choice. "

"He told you all about it." Mingtai had already told her what happened in the bar that day. Knowing Ah Cheng's identity, he mentioned that he knew Mingtai again. Yu Manli's tone was much better, but the meaning It was still uncomfortably sharp, "Then do you know that I have less than five years to live? No, maybe not even five years."

Seeing the shock on Ah Cheng's face, and thinking about what to do next, she knew that she had to convince the man in front of her to have a chance, so she gave him some extra explanations: "I don't have time to start all over again, his My career can't be ruined by me. You don't understand how important the resources in the hands of an agent are to a developing artist. Although there are... other people have helped some, but this work can't be replaced without years of accumulation , no one will take over temporarily, this is not something that can be solved with money, if it is not done well, it will destroy him."
