"Tingli, go and put the freshly baked shredded coconut buns on the shelf. It will be the peak time at noon in a while." The proprietress said to Xue Tingli while taking care of the bread in the oven.

"Oh, I see." Xue Tingli walked out of the back kitchen with the freshly baked coconut buns.

Because Xue Tingli is petite and delicate, and has a pair of moist blue eyes, in the past few days, a few gangsters have always taken the opportunity to be rude to Xue Tingli.Although he was chased away by Ah Xu, who looked good on the surface but was very reliable, the proprietress still felt that this was not an option, and then she brought Xue Tingli to match him with a pair of black contact lenses to block his eye-catching blue eyes.Although Xue Tingli is not so eye-catching now, his good-looking appearance often attracts some middle school students in the vicinity to "watch" on the grounds of buying bread.

"Ting Li, those girls are here again." Xiaoju stood by the window and said sharply.

"I'm going to the back kitchen first." Xue Tingli, who had just neatly stacked the shredded coconut bags, immediately hid them. He didn't want to attract attention, and it would be terrible if Sun Chaoran found out.According to Xue Tingli's understanding of this man, he is not an easy character to deal with, so it's better to be careful.

After the girls walked into the store, they didn't bother with the delicious bread at all. They searched around the store and couldn't find Xue Tingli, their excited expressions immediately collapsed.

"That—may I ask if there is another clerk in your store?" A girl boldly asked Xiaoju.They didn't see Xue Tingli for several days in a row, and they felt very regretful.

"He went shopping, do you have anything to do?" Xiaoju asked.

"Then when will he come back?" Another girl asked boldly.

"He went out with his girlfriend, how would I know." Xiaoju nonsense said.

Hearing that Xue Tingli had a girlfriend, the girls immediately left disappointed.

"Why are you talking nonsense, where did Ting Li get his girlfriends? What if they don't come to buy things in the future?" Ah Xu looked at the few figures walking away and said worried about the business.

"They don't buy anything every time they come! Does it count if five people buy a pineapple bun?" Xiaoju snorted and said, these people clearly came to see Xue Tingli.

"Seeing how you look like a hen guarding chicks, you're starting to be Ting Li's nanny so soon?" Ah Xu said.

"Fuck you." Xiaoju threw a ball of paper over to be caught by Ah Xu.

In the evening, the four of them sat in the back kitchen and ate. There was basically no business at this time, so they had a lot of leisure. It was rare for the proprietress to disappear early today.

"Ting Li, just take off your hat when you eat, why do you always wear a hat?" After finishing speaking, Ah Xu stretched out his hand to pick off Xue Tingli's hat.

"Don't—no need, I'm used to wearing it and don't need to take it off." Xue Tingli immediately covered the hat on his head in surprise, and the three people around were stunned.

"Ting Li, do you have any difficulties? Tell us to see if we can help? I remember you asked me for a hat when you first came here." The proprietress asked with concern.

"I——I'm fine, really." Xue Tingli said falteringly, clutching his hat.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, just let me know if you need help." Seeing Xue Tingli's distressed expression, the proprietress said understandingly.

"En." Xue Tingli nodded lightly in response, feeling very touched in his heart.

Since I came here for half a month, the three proprietresses have not asked me about my experience, which relieved Xue Tingli's uneasy heart, and I am also very grateful to these three people.

"That's great, we can all get off work early after Ting Li comes." Xiaoju said cheerfully.

Because Xue Tingli lives in the attic of the bakery, he has time to take care of the bakery 24 hours a day.In this way, both Xiaoju and Ah Xu can leave work early with the help of Xue Tingli, and the figure of the proprietress who disappeared at five o'clock in the evening is now completely gone at three o'clock in the afternoon, and sometimes disappears after lunch.

"Ma'am, why didn't you go out today?" Xiaoju asked gossip.

"Can't I be at home? What do you always go out for?" the proprietress said casually, swallowing her meal.

"Who wouldn't be arguing with that so-and-so?" Ah Xu laughed without fear of death.

"What nonsense is that brat, why don't you eat quickly." The proprietress glared at Ah Xu.

"Who is it? Who is it?" Xiaoju became interested.

"The little girl asked so many what to do, eat quickly and go home." The proprietress said.

"The proprietress has made a new boyfriend recently, when I heard the proprietress call—" Ah Xu said winkingly at the proprietress.

"What did you hear? Don't talk nonsense if you don't hear clearly." The proprietress said with a panicked expression, and gave Ah Xu a chestnut.

"Look, why don't you just call yourself out!" Ah Xu smiled even more happily.

"Don't talk nonsense, brat, that's one of our customers." The proprietress explained.

"Customers? We still have customers in this small shop?" Ah Xu asked, "Madam Boss, I clearly heard you say to that person when you called, 'You can do whatever you like'."

"Ah? Who is who? Tell me quickly." Xiaoju asked Ah Xu with bright eyes.

"Miss Boss, just tell us, did you kick Boss Zhang and find a new one? Don't worry, we won't let Boss Zhang know about it." Ah Xu smiled.

"Just tell me, lady boss, Ting Li, come and beg lady boss together." Xiaoju said while grabbing Xue Tingli's arm.

"If the proprietress doesn't want to talk about it, why don't we ask?" Xue Tingli said awkwardly.

"Oh, you should support me." Xiaoju looked at Xue Tingli and sighed annoyedly. Xue Tingli was good at everything but he was too honest.Hearing Xue Tingli's words, the proprietress smiled in satisfaction.Xiaoju pestered Ah Xu for a while and still didn't get an answer, and finally went home after eating regretfully.

"I'll go back today." Afterwards, Ah Xu also bid farewell.The proprietress also left happily after receiving a call, and Xue Tingli cleaned up the back kitchen and prepared to close.

"Huh, it closes so early? We need to buy something." Three punks walked into the store.

"We're not doing business anymore, you guys, Qinghan, come back tomorrow." Xue Tingli watched as the three gangsters subconsciously approached Ah Xu with iron bars.

"Since you're not doing business, come chat with us! It's rare to see you during the day!" A little gangster said with a playful smile.

"Don't be nervous, we don't mean anything malicious." Another gangster said with wretched eyes.

"You—don't come here, Ah Xu will be back in a while." Xue Tingli hid in the corner with the iron rod left by Ah Xu and said, the trembling iron rod in his hand fully exposed his fear.

"Hmph, could we come in if we didn't watch that kid walk away?" The little gangster smiled wickedly.

"He—he just went out for a while and will be back in a while." Xue Tingli said with a guilty conscience.

"Oh, that's just right, we'll wait with you!" The three surrounded Xue Tingli.

Bang!The restless voice outside the door sounded extremely incongruously in the quiet night.The three punks immediately turned their heads to look, but since the sound outside the door, it has been eerily quiet.

"Is that kid coming back?" A person asked worriedly.

"I'll go and have a look, you guys look at him." Another gangster walked out.

After 5 minutes, the person who went out did not come back, and the two people in the house immediately became alert.

"Is anything going to happen?" A man asked terrified.

"How do I know, just wait and see." The other was also full of urgency.

After 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and half an hour later, the remaining two finally confirmed that there was a problem outside.

"What do we do?" asked the man who had just been terrified.

"It's better to wait until dawn before leaving. It doesn't seem safe outside." Another person glanced at Xue Tingli and said, "Anyway, the store is safe, so take him to the back first."

"No, let me go." Xue Tingli took his hands to the back kitchen in pain from being caught.Another gangster took the opportunity to close the door of the bakery, and the lights in the front hall were also turned off.

"It's much safer here." After the two punks calmed down, they started thinking about Xue Tingli again.Xue Tingli had been trying to find a way to call for help just now, but helplessly, he was watched closely by the two gangsters. Not only could he not get close to the phone, but he was also closely watched every movement of his hands.

"Hey, there are no emergencies now." The two gangsters approached Xue Tingli wretchedly, the expressions on their faces clearly showing their thoughts.

At this moment, with a click, the switch in the house was turned off, and when the two punks were surprised, suddenly a hooded figure entered through the unlocked back door.

"Who is it? You're going to—" A little bastard was knocked to the ground before he could finish his sentence.

The other gangster managed to see his accomplice knocked to the ground in the dark, and in shock, he dropped Xue Tingli and turned towards the door, but was arrested before he could step out of the back kitchen.Before the words of begging for mercy were uttered, the man fell to the ground, and the hooded figure lifted the two of them up and left through the back door without saying a word.After a while, the electricity returned to normal, and Xue Tingli, who was hiding aside, sat on the ground for a long time before reacting to the sudden situation.

Who is this sudden appearance?He seemed to be helping himself, but why did he have to pull the switch and hide it so tightly?Why not say a word or even look at yourself?Could it be the hatred of these three people rather than someone who came here to help him?

Xue Tingli was confused, but luckily a crisis was resolved.After locking the door of the bakery, Xue Tingli went back to the attic, lying under the quilt, holding the two rings tightly and guessing secretly.

Is the battle tower strict?No, if he had shown up earlier, why sneak around.Thinking of Zhanlou Yan, Xue Tingli felt sad again, more than three weeks had passed since the incident in the Middle East.Xue Tingli once used the bakery's computer to secretly hack into the mainframe of the old house to check the secret files, hoping to find some news about Zhanlouyan.And Zhan Louyan seems to have been deemed dead, and the top-secret documents of the old house marked Zhan Louyan's file as death. Xue Tingli felt uncomfortable for many days after reading it, and the three proprietresses looked at him very worried.

"I still have this child, so I must persevere." Xue Tingli touched his belly and encouraged him secretly for a while, then fell asleep holding the fleshy ring.

I really miss that person, I really want to see him again, even in my sleep, please appear in my dream!

From the corner of his eye, a tear slipped down lonely and disappeared on the pillow.
