Chapter 9 Umbrella

Autumn in this city is long and layered, even if Chen Yuechi has no time to pay attention to the outside world, he can feel it.Every time there is a heavy rain, it will be a bit colder, and it has started to feel a little bit cold when I wake up these two days.

Ticada neighs occasionally, but it can only bring out Xia Yi's irreversible.

After being in a hurry for a while, Chen Yuechi coordinated the work of the convenience store and the cake shop.Due to the private attitude of the colleagues in the convenience store, Chen Yuezhi didn't really want to talk to Sister Huan, so it was the cake shop's time that he had to make a concession.

Fortunately, the boss is nice, and many shop assistants work part-time, so it is more convenient to change shifts.

Another discovery of working in the bakery is that Guan Rong really likes the bakery's bread.

He often shows up at the bakery at different times, but always buys the same things.It was the handmade bread that Chen Yuechi had eaten last time.

The afternoon of weekdays is the busiest time in the store, and Chen Yuechi is at the counter practicing with the leftover ingredients from the kitchen.

My co-worker is a bright girl who just entered her freshman year. Because of the word "sister" in her name, everyone in the store calls her younger sister.The younger sister watched from the side, and said with a smile that he would open a shop with him as a teacher. The baker was about to leave after get off work. Hearing this, she said that Chen Yuechi would not be allowed to enter the back kitchen, lest he steal the teacher.

Chen Yue smiled and concentrated on beating the egg whites, when he suddenly heard a clear voice: "Brother!"

Chen Yuechi lowered his head and didn't see anyone. He bent down and saw the bottle from behind the counter glass.He was a little surprised, and asked with a smile, "How do you remember me?"

The bottle yelled: "Why don't you remember!" He turned to his sister and shouted crisply: "Hello, sister!"

Guan Rong, who came late, entered the shop, walked straight to the artisanal bread area, took something to the counter, and ordered a few more puffs, probably for bottles.

The younger sister moved a step faster than Chen Yuechi, and was already loading things.The bottle kept talking to Chen Yue.After listening for a while, Chen Yuechi understood that he was talking about his trip to Hainan a few days ago.

Another guest came in, Guan Rong interrupted the bottle: "Okay, let's go, did your mother tell you that you are annoying? Talking so much will affect your brothers and sisters going to work."

"It's nothing, the kid is so cute!" The younger sister greeted the guests with a smile.

The bottle licked his mouth with insatiable desire, as if talking was eating sweets.After a few steps to the door, he turned his head three times and said goodbye to Chen Yuechi crisply.

"It's so cute." The younger sister sighed again.

Chen Yue smiled: "Yes."

"How do you know such a person?" My sister said again.

I don't know when, Chen Yuechi had a sensitive nerve in his mind, and that nerve was touched at this moment.He asked: "Such a person?"

The younger sister turned around holding the plate, walking briskly, as if she was dancing: "Such a young and handsome person with a baby!"

It took two seconds for Chen Yue to smile: "It may be because my part-time job footprints are all over the square."

"You've worked too hard, Brother Yue." The younger sister sighed, "It's raining, will the handsome uncle and the kids get caught in the rain?"

It really started raining again outside.Chen Yuechi had never seen such a rainy autumn before. The rain didn't look heavy, but the ground was completely wet after a while.

There are always umbrellas in the store, but there is only one left. My sister has to rush back to school to go to class. When she was leaving, she asked Chen Yuechi if she needed an umbrella, but Chen Yuechi told her not to worry about it.

It looked like it was going to rain continuously.Chen Yuechi looked out the window and made up his mind not to go back.Take some bread to deal with at night, and you can go directly to the convenience store.Just run for a few minutes.

He continued to beat the egg whites long enough that the basin was already white after foaming.It's so thin that it makes people feel a little greasy.

A folding umbrella suddenly appeared in sight.

Bottle stood on tiptoe and was pushing the umbrella on the counter sideways.Chen Yue looked down at him and looked up again, seeing Guan Rong standing at the door with a black umbrella waiting.Calm face.

"It's raining," said the bottle, "don't get caught in the rain."

Before Chen Yuechi could express his opinion, the bottle had already turned around and ran out, stuffed his hand into Guan Ronghang's hand at his side, and waved at Chen Yuechi with the empty one.

Those two people quickly disappeared from sight, and Chen Yuechi stared at the umbrella in a daze.

A strange person who is engaged in a special industry with an incomprehensible temper who doesn't know whose child it is.

Chen Yuechi wanted to say thank you to Guan Rong, but took out his cell phone and found that there was no phone number.Although I left a number on Guan Rong's cell phone last time, Guan Rong never called or sent a text message.

He wasn't even sure if Guan Rong deleted the string of numbers after he left.

It was still raining the next day.

Chen Yuechi's class was in the morning, and the girls from the nearby nightclub still made the shop noisy for a while.When the shift was about to end, someone came over, handed a bottle of hot milk to Chen Yuechi, and whispered, "Brother, please pay the bill."

It was the girl who quarreled with her boyfriend at the end of the street and finally let Guan Rong get out of the siege.After that incident, Chen Yuechi became a little familiar with Guan Rong, but it seems that he has never seen this girl since then.

He took the milk and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

The girl smiled, but her smile was pale, and she whispered, "Yes, I'm back."

Chen Yuechi couldn't understand what she meant for a while.After the girl gave the money, she said, "People in our business can't escape anywhere."

Chen Yuechi was taken aback for a moment, someone next to him asked to take the buns, Chen Yuechi responded and went over to help, but when he turned around, the girl had already left.The bottle of hot milk was still on the counter.

"Brother, don't provoke her." The last woman to leave said.

Chen Yuechi showed doubts on his face, and the woman pouted in the direction where the girl left: "Qingqing, the one who gave you milk just now, she likes little boys like you the most. Don't be too nice to her."

It was strange to say this, Chen Yuezhi didn't understand whether it was a warning or an exhortation.The woman looked him up and down unscrupulously, and he was neither angry nor annoyed, so she put away her expression and said in a casual tone: "She is too easily hurt, it's miserable."

Chen Yuechi was a little moved suddenly.

The person who spoke was already walking out, he seemed to be reassuring someone, lowered his eyes and said softly: "I will not provoke anyone."

After finishing work, he went back to the rental house, holding the umbrella that Guan Rong lent him.

Hurry up and get five hours of sleep.Chen Yuechi had a dream, as if in a daze, he returned to the place where he lived before.

The roses in the yard were blooming very well. Zhou Dian came back from a long distance and said he would pick him up.He reached out to grab her, but it was in vain.Something was pressing on his chest, he couldn't breathe, he wanted to call her loudly, but he opened his mouth and there was only a silent roar.

He was so stuffed with panic that he was about to explode. In his dream, he saw a sharp knife stabbed into Zhou Dian's abdomen, and the sky was covered in red.In his panic, he suddenly realized that the handle of the knife was in his hand.

Zhou Dian's bright face quickly peeled off and melted into the blood, leaving Chen Yuechi standing in a pool of blood.The blood was as thick as paint, sticking his feet to the ground, making him unable to move.Can't escape.

At the moment when he was about to suffocate, Nokia's bell rang suddenly.

Chen Yuechi suddenly sat up from the bed, thinking that he was still in a dream, he could only open his mouth urgently and breathe heavily.I felt a little uncomfortable on my face, and raised my hand to touch the wet marks, I don't know if it was sweat or tears.

After a while, he found that the phone was really ringing.

It is an unknown number.Chen Yuechi saw the screen clearly, and suddenly became a little nervous.He didn't understand the source of his nervousness, but just pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Yuechi?"

The heavy and violent heartbeat subsided slowly, and Chen Yuechi laughed silently. This was the first time someone called him that.

He should: "Hi, is this Teacher Guan?"

Guan Rong didn't respond to his address, but asked, "Are you cold?"
