Christmas

"Xiao Yao, you are finally here."

As soon as Xia Yao entered the coffee shop, his cousin Xu Wen's voice came over, with some teasing in her tone.

Touching his nose subconsciously, he suddenly thought of why he had taken such a long time. Xia Yao's face was hot, and he walked towards Xu Wen's direction with some embarrassment.

Xu Wen was leaning on the bar with a cup of coffee, looking at Xia Yao who was walking towards him with a smile on her face.

Xu Wen is a very mature and beautiful woman with fair skin and beautiful facial features.Her burgundy hair was curly and wavy to her waist, her figure was uneven, and she was very stylishly dressed.

"I'm sorry cousin, I was late for work on the first day."

Xia Yao touched his nose in embarrassment and said.

Xu Wen is 28 years old this year, eight years older than Xia Yao, and the two grew up together.Because Xia Yao's mother has a close relationship with his uncle's family, the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and Xia Yao also likes his cousin very much, and is also somewhat moved.

Excited.

But because of Xu Wen's strong character, Xia Yao couldn't help softening his tone when he saw her, and he couldn't change his tone after so many years.

Xia Yao's birthday falls on November 29 of the lunar calendar, which is winter, and those days in the north are usually very cold.I remember that when Xia Yao celebrated his 12th birthday, a child’s 12th birthday here is very particular, so Xu Zi and Xia Boyang held a birthday party for Xia Yao in the hotel in a grand way, with many banquets relatives and friends, so Xia Yao received a lot of birthday gifts that day

gift.

At that time, Xia Yao happened to be obsessed with collecting Ultraman models, and there was only one Sai Luo in the whole set, so Xia Yao always wanted this model as a birthday present.

But after he searched through all the birthday presents, there was nothing, so Xia Yao was in a bad mood.But because he is considered an older child, he can't show it, he can only hold it in his heart and feel unhappy.But Xu Wen saw that he was in a bad mood, and asked Xia Yao's reason on the sidelines, and went out in the middle of the meal, and spared a lot of streets to buy this model for Xia Yao.

It snowed heavily that day, and when they finished their meal and were about to leave, Xu Wen came back with her head covered in snow and her nose was red from the cold.

But her eyes are very bright, and her smile is also very bright, just like the flowers facing the sun in spring.

She gave Xia Yao the best birthday present.

The set of Ultraman models full of memories was stored in the deep part of the cabinet and has fallen to ashes, but that memory has always remained in the mind of 12-year-old Xia Yao until now.

Even in the next ten or 20 years, I will never forget the beauty of this childhood.

"It's okay, I understand."

Xu Wen smiled and put the coffee cup on the bar, looking at Xia Yao with a teasing look in her eyes.Xia Yao instantly understood what Xu Wen meant, and blushed immediately.

"cousin……"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to say. Did your family send you here just now? Oh, are you too sweet?

, please be considerate of an older leftover girl like me, please?My old man is a little sweet

Xu Wen covered her throat and deliberately elongated her tone, coughing a few times, but she had a bright and teasing smile on her face.

Xu Wen also knew about Xia Yao and Shi Xie, and it was a coincidence that Xu Wen came to deliver something to his house when he and Shi Xie were going home for dinner.

Now that he met Xia Yao, he didn't hide his relationship with Shi Xie, and told Xu Wen directly.

Xu Wen's views were not rigid, she didn't say anything at the time, and she accepted it quickly, but she just let Shi Xie treat Xia Yao well, so Xia Yao was even more grateful to her.

"Cousin, what should I do?"

Xia Yao sighed, he couldn't compare to Xu Wen in terms of eloquence in eight lifetimes, so he didn't plan to continue talking with her, otherwise he would still be the one with thick face and neck in a while.

"You just help out as a waiter, serve coffee, and occasionally clean up the table. It's not heavy work. Because there are a lot of people during the holiday, the store is a bit busy, so I asked you to help, But after I recruit someone in a few days, I don't need your help, and I will pay you the salary according to the whole month's settlement."

"Cousin, you don't have to be so polite. Anyway, I'm fine during my vacation."

"I can still use you for nothing, Jie, this key belongs to your cabinet."

Xu Wen gave Xia Yao a blank look, and stuffed the key into Xia Yao's hand without any explanation.Turning his head and raising his hand, he waved to a short boy who was wiping the table on the other side.

"Xiaolin, come here first, take Xiaoyao to change clothes, and then let him familiarize himself with the work."

Xu Wen stroked Xia Yao's hair, the excessive force made Xia Yao's scalp ache.After so many years, Xu Wen still kept this habit. Although Xia Yao protested, she never resisted.

Xiao Lin walked over quickly and smiled friendlyly at Xia Yao.

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Xia Yao's first impression of Xiao Lin was good. He is not tall, about 25,6 or [-] years old.The skin is a bit dark, but it looks very attractive

Follow Xiao Lin to the dressing room at the back, which is very clean, and Xu Wen has already arranged a cabinet for him, where he can usually put his bags and other items.

"You change it first. Sister Wen said that you can come to me directly when you come out."

After telling Xia Yao the location of the cabinet, Xiao Lin left the dressing room. Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help thinking about Shi Xie's villain in his heart.

He took off the T-shirt on his body, revealing the skin underneath, and saw that the fair skin was covered with stars and red spots, and there was a more obvious dark purple spot on the chest.

Xia Yao rubbed the purple mark, it didn't hurt, but it looked a little scary.

Folding the T-shirts and putting them in the cabinet, Xia Yao changed into the clothes.The clothes are very regular black and white waiter uniforms, and the size fits well

suitable.

After coming out of the locker room, Xu Wen was no longer there. Xiao Lin saw him coming and waved at him.

"Sister Wen just went out with some business, now you should get to know other people first."

Xia Yao nodded and walked to Xiao Lin, only to see three people standing beside him, two girls and one boy.

One of the girls looked a little older, and the other was a little green, probably a summer student.The boy is about the same age as Xia Yao, and he should also be a student working during the holidays.

"Hello, my name is Xia Yao."

After Xia Yao said hello, the older girl spoke first.

"You're welcome, just call me Sister Lu."

Followed by young female students.

"Here Miko ends up being that male classmate.

"Hi, my name is Wang Yao."

Their attitudes were very kind, and Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"In the future, if you don't understand anything, you can ask us."

Sister Lu's tone was very gentle, just like a big sister.She is the barista in the store, and sometimes Xu Wen will help when the store is too busy.

"Ok, I will."

"Okay, Xiaoyao, come and clean the table with me first. It will be the rush hour in a while, and we need to clean up quickly

"

〇

"Ok."

Xiao Lin handed Xia Yao a rag, and Xia Yao hurriedly took it and followed Xiao Lin to the table that needed to be cleaned.

After all, it is just a coffee shop and does not provide food such as meals, so the tables are still very clean, except for some coffee stains and water stains.

After Xia Yao cleaned up all the tables, customers came in one after another, most of them were students, and they came to have a small tea party together.There are also writers who bring their computers, order a cup of coffee and sit in the corner quietly doing their own things.

After working for about an hour, Xia Yao finally had a little rest time, and Xia Yao leaned on the bar counter to wipe the sweat from his forehead.Sister Lu makes coffee at the bar, and Mizi is his assistant, who also helps make some simple things.It was only him, Xiaolin, and Wang Yao who helped serve coffee and clear the table. It wasn't very tiring, but it was a little hot from moving around.

"how do you feel?"

Sister Lu was wiping the cup at the bar, and asked Xia Yao with a smile.

"It's okay, it's just a little hot."

"Well, there were originally two air conditioners, but it happened to be broken during this time. Come, have a glass of ice water first."

Xia Yao took a big gulp of the ice water handed by Sister Lu, and immediately felt alive again. Just at this time, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Xia Yao looked towards the door subconsciously, and a person walked in with his head down. Seeing that Xiao Lin and the others were busy, Xia Yao put down his water glass and went to greet him.

"Hi, may I ask what you need... hey - it's you."

As soon as he raised his head, Xia Yao immediately let out a sound of surprise, and the customer also raised his head, showing a shy smile when he saw his appearance clearly.

"Xia Yao, why are you here?"

"I came here to help, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I'm a regular here."

Wei Kong followed Xia Yao to the empty seat beside the bed, sat down and looked up at Xia Yao with an introverted expression.

"That's a coincidence, what do you want to drink?"

"A cup of bitter coffee with five teaspoons of sugar."

Xia Yao stopped writing the list, and subconsciously looked at Wei Kong.

"Add five spoons of sugar? How about a sweet coffee?"

"No, no, I like to drink that way."

Wei Kong quickly waved his hand to refuse, Xia Yao raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be here in a while."

"Okay, trouble."

Xia Yao waved his hand and went over to talk about the list.

"Sister Lu, a cup of bitter coffee, add..."

"Add five spoonfuls of sugar, right?"

Sister Lu turned around, glanced at Xia Yao, and said in the ground.

"Yes... Sister Lu, how do you know?"

"Haha, because that gentleman is a regular customer here, he always orders a cup of bitter coffee with five spoonfuls of sugar. He is really a strange person."

While Sister Lu was talking, her staff quickly ground the coffee and poured it into a delicate coffee cup, and added five spoonfuls of sugar into it with a small silver spoon.
