Chapter 32 The "Strange" Guest

Another four or five days passed in the store. During these days, Xiang Wan had shifts every day.But anyway, the wages are settled on an hourly basis, so more shifts can also make more money, which is not a bad thing, at most I am a little tired.

Under the guidance of Yu Shan, Ding Jiaojiao and the others, Xiang Wan also made rapid progress.At the beginning, I just taught some basic etiquette, ordering, and the location of various things. Today is the fifth day of work, and I have already started to make some relatively simple drinks.In addition, Xiang Wan also tried to figure out coffee by himself and asked the old clerk about it.

When Xiang Wan was working on the side, Yu Sheng found a seat in the store to sit down, not far from the bar, as long as he could catch a glimpse of Xiang Wan as far as his eyes could see.

Xiang Wan was accompanied by his voice every day when he commuted to and from get off work, so he was probably used to it.However, I'm already familiar with the road, so I don't have to worry too much about making a fool of myself. Besides, I was caught pretending to be a bear last time, so there shouldn't be anything more embarrassing.

The winter in Yushi is a bit uncertain, and the weather can change every now and then.Just a second ago, I saw some sunlight shining on the ground outside, but in a blink of an eye, the sunlight disappeared, the sky darkened, and the snow began to drift down.The snow was not heavy, but some pure white particles could be vaguely seen falling, but it was not as dense as rain.

This is the first snow in Yushi, but it's not falling in a big way, and I'm afraid it can't be piled up on the ground.The people in the coffee shop don't feel like winter at all. The warm interior of the shop is paired with warm milk into the throat, and the whole person is intoxicated in the greenhouse.

The seat by the window is the best place to enjoy this scene. The hot air from the mouth blooms crystal flowers on the transparent glass surface, making the already empty snow outside even more mysterious.

In a corner of the store, a mature woman was sitting by the window, with exquisite facial features and just the right makeup, her slender body was not obvious because she was sitting, and she looked like a professional woman.It's just that for some reason, Xiang Wan always felt that her face was not very happy, especially on this day when there was light snow, the corners of her mouth that were usually slightly raised were gone.

Xiang Wan didn't know who she was, but in the past few days, she basically drank a cup of hot coffee here after getting off work at five o'clock every day.Many working people like the quiet environment of coffee shops, so they will find a comfortable place to sit down, continue unfinished work, or relax the exhaustion of the day.Some people who are too stressed like to sit at the bar and chat with the shop assistants, or watch them busy as a way to pass the time.

But in this woman's eyes, the whispers at the bar, the guests coming and going, and even the slowly rising coffee heat around her failed to attract her attention.Her eyes were always on the window, and Xiang Wan didn't know what she was looking at.As for the other shop assistants who seem to be old acquaintances with her, especially Yu Shan and the boss will always greet her a few times when she comes, and then watch her go straight to the seat she likes, and then serve her a glass of her usual Drink no sugar added latte.Occasionally, a few regular customers passed by her seat and found her, and they would have a few chats, but her mind was obviously not in the store.

Although Xiang Wan was curious about such a person, he didn't know anything about it. He hadn't seen anyone mention anything in the past few days when he came to the store, so he didn't ask any more questions.

It was snowing for the first time that day, and when the woman entered the store, her face was clearly distressed.Xiang Wan didn't know if she was too tired from work or for other reasons. In short, she seemed very tired today.Yu Shan, who worked with Xiang Wan, looked at her with a hint of distress in her eyes: "Qin, how are you doing today?"

The woman forced a smile: "San, bring me a latte as usual. I will still sit in that seat."

"Okay. I'll send it to you in a while." Yu Shan was a little dazed, watching the woman named Qin leave the bar.

"Oh", Yu Shan sighed softly, feeling a little sad for a while.It's snowing again, she sighed in her heart.

Xiang Wan, who was at the side, watched the interaction between the two of them in a cloud, not knowing what happened, but Sister Yu Shan, who was always optimistic and lively, suddenly became so sentimental.

He wanted to go forward to help Yu Shan, but Yu Shan's movements were so seamless that he, who was still a novice, couldn't help at all.

"Go and deliver it to her. Here, she's sitting there." Yu Shan handed the coffee to Xiang Wan, looked at the place where the woman was sitting, and told Xiang Wan where she was.

After saying hello to Xiang Wan, he picked up the coffee and prepared to send it over.

"Hey." Yu Shan stopped Xiang Wan who was about to deliver something, "You take this small cup of syrup to her."

"Doesn't this guest like latte without syrup?" Xiang Wan felt a little strange.

Yu Shan was surprised by Xiang Wan's question: "I didn't expect you to be a little silent at ordinary times, but you observe very carefully. Take this syrup with her, today is special."

Now that Yu Shan had said that, Xiang Wan stopped talking too much, took the syrup and gave it to the woman together.

"Hello, here is your latte." Xiang Wan placed the coffee cup in front of the woman, and then put the syrup aside, "This cup is syrup."

The woman nodded politely to Xiang Wan, smiled, and then looked at the bar.Yu Shan also looked at her and nodded.

After Xiang Wan left, the woman stared outside again blankly, as if in her eyes, the scenery was always changing and she would never get bored.

Back at the bar, Yu Shan asked Xiang Wan with concern, "Did she say anything?"

Xiang Wan shook his head: "No, I just said thank you to me."

At this moment, Yu Sheng came over and packed up his things: "Xiao Wan, what shall we have for dinner?"

Xiang Wan turned to look at the clock hanging on the wall. It turned out that it was already a quarter past six, and he had been off work for 15 minutes.

"Look at my concentration, I actually forgot your off-duty time, I will ask the boss to pay you more~ Don't worry." Yu Shan looked annoyed, talking about the time, but Xiang Wan I have a vague feeling that she is trying to hide it.

"Wait for me for a while, I'll pack up and leave." Xiang Wan said to Yu Sheng, then ran to the storage room to get his schoolbag and coat, and folded his work clothes neatly.

"It's packed, let's go~" Xiang Wan put on her schoolbag, walked up to Yu Sheng, turned her head and said "goodbye" to Shan.

Pushing open the store door, the cold wind outside swept against his face, and Xiang Wan shivered.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng took off the scarf around his neck, hung it around Xiang Wan's neck, and wrapped it around from left to right.Xiang Wan's nose and the lower half of his face were buried in the scarf, and there was a faint smell, which was very pleasant.

"Where are we going?" Xiang Wan asked in a low voice.

"It's past six o'clock, I have to eat first." Yu Sheng said, "Tell me about where you want to eat."

Hmm... Xiang Wan began to think seriously.

"Forget it, don't bother thinking if you can't figure it out, I think you've been busy all day, just listen to me." Seeing Xiang Wan like this, Yu Sheng couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Yu Sheng brought Xiang Wan to a barbecue restaurant. It seemed that the business was good. Although there was no need to line up, the seats inside were basically full.

A waiter came up to greet him and asked politely, "How many seats do you two handsome guys need?"

"Two." Yu Sheng replied simply.

"Okay, you guys come with me." The waiter had a habit of nodding and bowing, which Xiang Wan didn't like very much.

There are no so-called private rooms in this store, they are all seats.The seats are separated by partitions, and only the tops of other people's heads can be seen.

Xiang Wan didn't want to order food, so he left the matter to Yu Sheng.Anyway, he also knows what he likes to eat.

Yu Sheng's style of ordering food has always been decisive, without hesitation, and he ordered what he wanted to eat with three or two clicks.

"What's the matter? I think you were a little absent-minded at work today, why do you keep looking elsewhere?" Yu Sheng expressed his concern to Xiang Wan, but it always gave people a feeling of dissatisfaction.

"Me? I didn't look anywhere else, just casually." Xiang Wan tried to explain to himself, even though he knew that Yu Sheng always knew him.

Yu Sheng sighed: "You, do you want to know about that female guest?"

Is Yu Sheng the roundworm in his stomach?How do you even know this?He obviously didn't mention anything related to this, besides, Xiang Wan saw that he was obviously busy with reading and other things.

Although Xiang Wan was a little annoyed, his thoughts were hit right away, but he still wanted to know what happened to that female guest. Yu Sheng seemed to know something, so he just nodded silently.

"However, when I was in the coffee shop just now, I heard the customer next to me talk about this matter. The authenticity is questionable, but I can tell you about it." Yu Sheng first explained how he knew about this matter. In fact, when he had been observing Xiang Wan, he also felt that this female guest was weird and knew everyone. He also saw that Xiang Wan seemed to be very concerned about this matter, so he asked Yu Run privately.

"Okay, don't play tricks on me." Xiang Wan was a little anxious, thinking that Yu Sheng was deliberately teasing him.

Yu Sheng cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "I heard that about half a year ago, this female customer was an old clerk in the coffee shop. I don't know how old her seniority is. It seems that she entered the shop with Yu Shan." Yes. Later, she met a male customer who fell in love at first sight in the store. Since then, that male customer likes to sit not far from the bar and watch her every time he comes. The two gradually fell in love, and then naturally Together, they seem to have met on the side of the road not far from the entrance of the store at first. At that time, the woman was going to work in the store, and the man was also on his way. It was a coincidence that they bumped into each other, just like the actors in the TV series. Like I said, the boy watched the woman enter the coffee shop, so he liked to come to this shop afterward.”

"What happened later? What happened later?" Yu Sheng stopped suddenly, and Xiang Wan asked.

"I don't know much about it later, I just heard that the male customer never came to the store again, and the woman resigned and left, and went to find a good job in the office building. It's just that she still comes to the store often, always I like to sit in a certain place, drink a certain thing, and look at a certain place." Yu Sheng actually knew what happened afterwards, but he didn't want to talk about it.

It was boring, and the story that ended abruptly made Xiang Wan a little frustrated.Forget it, it's gossip anyway, and I don't want to chase after others to find out about other people's affairs.
