Chapter 3 The New Clerk

The author says:

After getting the test report, Zhou Jing went for a consultation. He did have some low blood sugar, but he didn't pay much attention to it before. In addition, he was under a lot of pressure recently, so he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

After learning the result, he casually sent a message to Li Shengrui, after thinking about it, he clicked on Yu Xiu's WeChat, and edited a message for him as well.

Not long after the message was sent, Zhou Jing's phone vibrated as soon as he walked out of the hospital building, and the caller ID showed 'A Yu Xiuxiu'.

He swiped the answer button, and Yu Xiu's worried voice sounded from the other end of the phone: "Brother, did the doctor say your hypoglycemia is serious?"

Zhou Jing smiled softly, "Fortunately, just pay more attention in the future."

Yu Xiu responded with a slightly lower voice: "From now on, you must remember to eat breakfast, and you should always carry some sugar with you."

"Well, I got it." Zhou Jing's steps suddenly became a little brisk, "Yu Xiu, come to my house for dinner if you have time, my mother misses you a lot."

"Yes, it's just that the school's courses are scattered. I want to find a spare time to see my aunt, just like... I spent a few more days with her as I did when I was a child."

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. When he was a child, Yu Xiu was very popular with adults, and so was his mother. If he couldn't see him for a while, he couldn't help thinking about him.

"Okay, I'll pick you up when I have time. I usually live in an apartment near the company, which is pretty close to your school."

Zhou Jing chatted with him for a few more words, until he saw the bus slowly approaching not far away.

After hanging up the call with Yu Xiu and getting in the car, Li Shengrui also called. Zhou Jing found a seat by the window and sat down, then clicked to answer.

"Hey Lao Zhou, who were you on the phone with just now? I called several times and the line was busy." Li Shengrui spoke a little vaguely, as if he was chewing something in his mouth.

Zhou Jing smiled and asked him, "I don't know if you still have an impression of Yu Xiu. I just met him in the hospital."

Li Shengrui thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "Yu Xiu...is that the kid who likes to cling to you?"

Zhou Jing said angrily, "What a brat, he's a college student now, it's just a surprise that he goes to school here."

"Don't mention this kid yet." Li Shengrui interrupted him, "Do you want to go to the class reunion I mentioned?"

"Li Shengrui, you..." Zhou Jing was about to say nothing, but Li Shengrui interrupted him suddenly.

"Old Zhou, it's really too late for us to stop thinking about the future at this age. Think about it, we're both approaching [-] this year. Now we'll find a suitable one and talk first. Fall in love and lay the foundation for marriage. Really wait until then I don't feel angry anymore."

Zhou Jing sighed softly, "In fact, love and marriage are not something that can be forced."

Li Shengrui clicked his tongue, "It's hard to find someone like me who is worried about my brother's lifelong affairs with a magnifying glass. If you don't look for it, you can just accompany me, this widow. Anyway, I was alone that day."

Zhou Jing really didn't want to think about whether to go or not, but because of his friendship with Li Shengrui, he responded casually: "Okay, but let's make it clear in advance, I will just accompany you there."

The matter of her parents' divorce continued to simmer, and Zhou Jing was powerless to help, so she could only wait for the news from the attorney.

In his memory, the man who was his father was hardly homely. Even if he met him, he would only bring punches and kicks. name only.

As long as that man shows a little concern for this family, or shows a little bit of restraint in his behavior, Zhou Jing will not feel too sentimental when his mother mentions the word "divorce".

On the last day of the holiday, Zhou Jing went back to the apartment from home. She still felt quite tired in the first two days of work, and she slept well. After she got used to it, she felt a little insomnia that night.

When he returned to the office the next day, his head was naturally groggy. When he was sitting on the computer chair and was about to yawn, a pair of hands suddenly came from behind him.

Zhou Jing flashed a shock, and when he looked back to see the owner of those hands, he couldn't help curling his lips, "Sister Lin, why don't you make a sound."

Lin Yundan threw him a small bag of dried strawberries, and looked at Zhou Jing with his chin for a while, then suddenly leaned over and asked, "Xiao Zhou, did you not sleep well last night?"

"Well...it's a bit." Zhou Jing nodded sincerely.

"That's just right. If you don't go home at noon, you can accompany Sister Lin to the coffee shop downstairs and buy a cup of coffee to refresh yourself." Lin Yundan smiled mysteriously, which made Zhou Jing's heart tremble slightly.

"Hey Sister Lin, don't you don't drink coffee?" Zhao Jia turned around together with the computer chair, his face full of ambiguity, "Do you want to find an excuse to drag our little brother Zhou on a date?"

Lin Yundan threw another bag of dried strawberries in his hand, and said angrily: "Yes, do you envy my sister?"

She brushed her hair and said with a smile: "Just kidding, although my sister is single, she would rather be single than consider sibling love."

"What's the matter with sister-brother love, sister-brother love is not very good." Zhao Jia stuffed his mouth full of dried strawberries, and suddenly tilted his head, "But I heard that there seems to be a new male waiter in the coffee shop downstairs. Tall and handsome, Sister Lin is definitely not here to catch a glimpse of the handsome guy."

Lin Yundan bit the dried fruit in his mouth bitterly, and said bitterly: "Look at what's wrong with the handsome guy. Seeing how handsome the handsome guy is, he can eat and lose weight."

Zhao Jia nodded approvingly, and jokingly said, "That's right, brother Xiao Zhou is also quite handsome, why don't we see that we are thinner?"

Lin Yundan kicked her computer chair, and glanced at her, "Do you still want to eat? Come and give it to me."

Zhao Jia stuck out her tongue at her, slid the computer chair and quickly returned to her work station.

Even if Lin Yundan decides, eight horses can't be pulled back. For example, she took Zhou Jing to the coffee shop to cover up to see the handsome guy.

Zhou Jing went naturally. After all, his spirit was hovering on the verge of lethargy all morning. If he didn't buy a cup of coffee to refresh himself, he would probably miss work in the afternoon.

MOOCH, a coffee shop, sells a series of desserts in addition to the main coffee. Its business has been unabated, and there is an endless stream of customers every morning and noon.

But after not coming for a few days, Zhou Jing found that the coffee shop was overcrowded today. Thanks to Lin Yundan pulling him to trot all the way, even with the speed bonus, the two of them were still in the middle of the line.

Lin Yundan is 32 years old this year, she doesn't show her age, and she is no more ambiguous than anyone else when it comes to looking at handsome guys, and she can still cheer like a little girl.

There was a lot of noise in the coffee shop, and the front desk was surrounded by people. Zhou Jing thought that it would take some time to queue up, so she looked down at the news on her phone the whole time.

Guessing that when he was approaching them, someone seemed to push his back, Zhou Jing turned his head away, and at some point Lin Yundan ran from behind him with a look of great interest, "You go buy it first. , I'm right behind you."

When he got close to the counter, a very familiar voice suddenly came from inside, "Caramel latte medium cup, take away."

Zhou Jing looked up subconsciously, and happened to collide with the eyes of the people at the counter - a well-fitting clerk uniform, neat short hair, and a clean and refreshing smile.

The brain stopped spinning for a moment, and Zhou Jing froze in place in a daze.

"Sir, what do you need?" Yu Xiu smiled, but he was not surprised when he saw him.

"Yeah, a medium cup of espresso." Zhou Jing answered quickly after recovering.

"Drinking Italian now will affect your sleep at night." Yu Xiu smiled at him, and then shouted to the clerk who made the coffee: "Small cappuccino, take away."

Zhou Jing didn't care what to change, he was more concerned about why Yu Xiu suddenly appeared in the coffee shop downstairs of the company.

"You can go to the customer waiting area and wait later." Yu Xiu thoughtfully took out the sugar bag and put it in his hand, "You can add some sugar appropriately."

"Okay." Zhou Jing nodded, and looked at Yu Xiu several times as if she was not sure when she left.

"Espresso, thank you." Lin Yundan also ordered a glass of espresso after hearing the conversation between the two. His eyes looked expectantly at Yu Xiu, hoping to get a word or two of his thoughtfulness.

Yu Xiu just nodded and smiled at her, and replied: "Good lady, please wait a moment in the waiting area."

Lin Yundan curled his lips in disappointment, and when he walked to the waiting area, he said to Zhou Jing: "Mr. drinks espresso at noon, but he can't fall asleep at night. Ms. can fall asleep after drinking it."

Zhou Jing couldn't help laughing, "Sister Lin, you don't like coffee very much, is it okay to order Italian directly? Do you want to exchange it with mine?"

"Forget it." Lin Yundan glanced at Yu Xiu regretfully, and said, "The little handsome guy specially ordered it for you."

Zhou Jing smiled, and while chatting with Lin Yundan, he sent a message to Yu Xiu, saying that he wanted to have dinner with him in the evening.

Lin Yundan suddenly approached him with a mysterious look on his face, "Zhou, do you think that handsome guy who ordered is interested in you?"

Zhou Jing was taken aback, a little dazed: "Sister Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Yundan raised his eyebrows, "When I saw him, he always looked at you, as if he cared about you very much, and just ordered coffee for you, no matter how you look at it, he seems to have a good impression of you."

Zhou Jing laughed and explained to her: "Actually, I know him."

"Know?" Lin Yundan suddenly became excited, "Your friend's height and face are almost ideal in my heart, so is he still single?"

"This... I don't seem to have asked." Zhou Jing took the coffee from the clerk, took another small bag of sugar, and told her very calmly, "But Sister Lin, he is still in college."

Lin Yundan seemed to have been poured cold water, and his mood was ups and downs, "If he is more than ten years older, maybe I will boldly pursue him."

Zhou Jing fetched coffee for her, and said with relief: "Actually, I don't want to get married, it's just that I haven't met a suitable person, and I will always meet in the future."

"I remember that in the few appointments we talked about before, there was indeed a person who was quite suitable for marriage." Lin Yundan seemed to be a little regretful, and said: "Every aspect of that person is perfect, but our intimacy is limited to sleeping forward."

Zhou Jing seldom listened to her talking about the past, and could only drink coffee in silence. In front of other people's lives, he could not talk or ask more questions.

Lin Yundan sighed, and continued: "He generously confessed his orientation to me, and expressed his apology."

Zhou Jing was a little surprised, and whispered: "Don't you blame...he lied to you?"

Lin Yundan smiled and replied: "Zhou, people actually have many choices, and some roads are bound to be difficult to walk. He cried more than ever when he told me, and I also told him not to involve innocent people no matter what. People come in, because once some choices are made, they must have the fearlessness to bear them.”

Zhou Jing didn't speak any more, and helped Lin Yundan lift the curtain when he walked out of the store.

Lin Yundan glanced at the passing crowd under the steps, shrugged and said, "Now, he and his boyfriend are living happily. Although most women my age have children of their own, I still choose to wait for the one that suits me." People show up, if I can't wait, I can still live happily."

"People do have their own choices." Zhou Jing smiled along with her: "Perhaps the person you are waiting for is also waiting for you."
