I open a bookstore in the human world

Song Lan poured a cup of hot milk and put it on the table in front of Gan Tian, ​​and said softly, "Tired from crying? Let's drink something to moisten your throat."

Crouching on the sofa, Gan Tian's eyes were red and swollen, her face was stained with tears, her hair was a little messy, and her expensive and low-key Chanel suit was not neat. If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think that Song Lan had bullied her.

Song Lan also felt quite aggrieved: He obviously didn't do anything, so why did he take the initiative to come to the door when he was in trouble?

The slander belongs to the slander, Song Lan was still able to face Gan Tian with a pleasant expression, so as not to scare the little princess. If Gan's family finds out about this, then there will be good fruits for her to eat?

Speaking of the Gan family, Song Lan still had doubts: "Why are you here alone at this time? Where are your bodyguards?"

Gan Tian's eyelashes, which still had teardrops on them, trembled slightly, her mouth pouted, and she said stiffly, "I don't want to hear the word bodyguard again."

The eldest lady is indeed the eldest lady, and she has become like this now, and she is still losing her temper.

Song Lan shrugged, spread her hands and said, "Okay, I won't say. Do you want to go to the bathroom to tidy up first? It's a bit..."

Gan Tian's face froze, and she immediately took out a small mirror from her bag to take a look, her cheeks suddenly turned a liver color, she stood up hastily: "I'll go to the bathroom first."

Sure enough, a woman is a kind of strange creature. Even if she cried her heart out for a second, she would die or live, but once she finds that her makeup is messed up and her hair is messed up, even if the end of the world is coming, the last thing she does Not to escape, but to touch up makeup.

While Gan Tian tidied up her time, Song Lan made a phone call.

When Gan Tian came back again, she looked much better than before. There was no trace of crying makeup on her face, and her hair was combed again. Except that her clothes were a little wrinkled, it was almost impossible to tell that she was very disregarding her image not long ago I cried a lot.

This transformation made Song Lan amazed.

"Calm down now?" Song Lan asked.

Gan Tian's face became hot, and she argued, "I've always been calm."

Song Lan raised her eyebrows, noncommittal: "Why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

Speaking of this, Gan Tian's expression became tense and her breath became short of breath: "Mr. Song, I already know that my family is behind the scenes. They didn't want me to work in the bookstore, so they sent those bodyguards on purpose. Make it difficult for you. Don't worry, I have already..."

"Miss Gan," Song Lan interrupted Gan Tian's defense, and said calmly, "I think I have made things clear during the day, you are Miss Gan's family, and in your capacity, even if you want to come to the bookstore, you are still a VIP. As for being a clerk or something, it's really not for you."

"Mr. Song, I know you said that because of pressure. In fact, you don't think so in your heart. Tell me, am I right?" Gan Tian looked at Song Lan expectantly, trying to adore her There are some clues on the face of the person.

Song Lan shook her head lightly, and what she said disappointed her: "No, even without the pressure from your family, I would never have agreed to you to work in our store."

"Why?!" Gan Tian wanted to cry.

Song Lan said lightly: "I told you, because you are the daughter of the Gan family."

"If that's the case, then I'd rather not be this lady!" Gan Tian gritted her teeth.

"But the facts cannot be changed," Song Lan has always been calm, "You are one of the heirs of the Ganlu Group, and you will take over a huge business empire in the future. Even if you do nothing, there will be a group of graduates from prestigious schools Your genius is at your service. Why do you have to succumb to a small bookstore and wrong yourself like this?"

"But I like you, I want to be closer to you, so that I can see you every day." Gan Tian blurted out.

Why did she want to work in Shadow Bookstore?Isn't it just to get close to Song Lan?Couldn't Song Lan be even a little moved by her humble sacrifice?

Hearing such a confession, Song Lan remained unmoved at all: "Thanks to Miss Gan's wrong love, but I'm afraid I have to say sorry."

"Why? Don't you feel anything about me? Or do you already have someone you like? This is impossible. I have already found out. You have always been single and have no girlfriend." Grabbing Song Lan's sleeve, with a look of fear on his face, "Mr. Song, tell me, do you really dislike me? Or is it because of pressure from the Gan family?"

"This has nothing to do with the Gan family, Miss Gan." Song Lan opened Gan Tian's fingers, looked into her eyes, and said word by word, "Miss Gan, I'm sorry, but I still have to say, I don't have any love for you. There is no emotion between them, even if it is a little bit."

"Because you have someone you like?" Gan Tian stared at Song Lan.

"I..." Song Lan wanted to say something in denial, but suddenly the door of the bookstore was opened from the outside, and a familiar voice thought coldly——

"You're right, he already has someone he likes, and that person is me."

Hearing this voice, Song Lan felt his scalp go numb, and turned his head in disbelief, stunned: "Xie Daonian? Why are you here?!"

It wasn't just Xie Daonian's falling from the sky that surprised Song Lan, but also what he said shocked Song Lan. In short, Song Lan is now in a daze from head to toe.

Xie Daonian smiled slightly at Song Lan, walked up to him quickly, and said in a low voice, "I asked Tang Chi to send me here."

After Song Lan hung up the phone, Xie Daonian was restless, and finally called Tang Chi, asking him to take him to Jincheng, the sooner the better.

Because it was the middle of the night, when the ghost power was strongest during the day, Tang Chi was able to take Xie Daonian across thousands of miles and arrived in time.Even so, Tang Chi couldn't take it anymore, he was leaning against the door to breathe.

Song Lan couldn't help but glared at Tang Chi: What are you trying to do, kid?

Tang Chi didn't pay attention to the attack in his boss's eyes, because he was also shocked by Xie Daonian's words: Wait, what did brother Xie say just now?He said Brother Song likes him?

Is there something wrong with his ears, or is the world changing so fast that he can't keep up... Tang Chi thought foolishly.

Too bad, Tang Chi actually heard it.Thinking that maybe everyone would know about the relationship between him and Xie Daonian in a short time, Song Lan felt dizzy.

He gouged out Xie Daonian's eyes: what should we do this time?The trouble you caused, you solve it yourself.

Xie Daonian pretended not to see Song Lan's eyes, but looked at the bewildered Gan Tian, ​​and said with a smile, "Miss Gan, right? My Song Song told me about you, and I have admired you for a long time."

What the hell?Song Song?When did he have this name!Song Lan rolled her eyes angrily.

Gan Tian was obviously too frightened by this title, her eyes widened, and after a long time she said softly, "What is your relationship with Mr. Song?"

Xie Daonian put his arm around Song Lan's shoulder, looked at Song Lan from the side, and said in a friendly tone, "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xie Daonian, another partner of Shadow Bookstore, and I have another identity, which is him boyfriend."

There were two "pop" and "pop": the glass in Gan Tian's hand fell to the ground, and Tang Chi bumped his head against the glass door.

Does he know what he is talking about!Song Lan's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and he looked at Xie Daonian in disbelief, forgetting to free his shoulders from the opponent's "claw".

"You, you..." Gan Tian's eyes widened in disbelief, her eyes flicked back and forth between Song Lan and Xie Daonian, with an expression on her face that was about to collapse, "You guys..."

"Honey, I have to think about finding a rope to tie you by my side, lest you go around messing around while I'm not around." Xie Daonian remained calm, lowered his head slightly, and leaned close to Song Lan's ear, with a smile that was not a smile and raised the corners of his lips .

Xie Daonian's voice was not high, but in this quiet late night, it happened to be heard clearly in Gan Tian's ears.

"What did you say—" Song Lan didn't know whether to get angry or clarify first, her face flushed red, which was the prelude to going berserk.

Tang Chi tried his best to shrink his huge figure behind the glass door, complaining in his heart: Seeing Brother Song's appearance, he is obviously angry, God bless, there is a wrong and a debt, but please don't spread the fire on him! , he is innocent QAQ

Before Song Lan could finish speaking, Xie Daonian whispered first, "If you want to get rid of Miss Gan completely, then don't refute me."

Song Lan raised his eyes and stared at Xie Daonian, but the other party's gaze was frank, as if he really wanted to rescue Song Lan, so he said that.

Could it be that I really blamed him by mistake?Song Lan swayed, and stopped the action of throwing Xie Daonian away, and fell into thinking.

Gan Tian couldn't hear Xie Daonian's last words. From her point of view, Xie Daonian and Song Lan were standing very close, and Xie Daonian had one hand on Song Lan's shoulder and the other around his waist. Similarly, the faces are very close again, and the posture looks more ambiguous and ambiguous.Even without Xie Daonian's astonishing words just now, I'm afraid it would still make people's imagination run wild.

The last glimmer of hope in Gan Tian's heart was also shattered.There was a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth: No wonder Song Lan dismissed her love so much.No wonder, the outside world said that Song Lan had never had a girlfriend.It turned out that it was because he didn't like women!

Gan Tian also has some good friends who only like the same sex, so she naturally knows that it is more difficult to change a person's sexual orientation than to change a person's personality.She is confident that she can compete with the women who appear beside Song Lan, but once her competitor becomes a man, she has no choice but to admit it.

This is like a rookie Mengxin who just came out of Novice Village. The first monster he meets is epic difficulty. How can he fight this special meow?Just admit defeat directly.

"Look, Ms. Gan hesitated, I said it will work." Xie Daoyou smiled.

Song Lan: "..." It sounds reasonable, but why does he always feel that something is not right?

Before Song Lan could think it through, Gan Tian spoke.I saw that she was about to cry, her little face was pale, but in order to maintain her pride as Miss Gan's, she had to put on a considerate and magnanimous appearance, squeezed out a very forced smile, and said in a breathless voice : "It turns out that Mr. Song already has his own heart. If so, then I wish you all..."

It's really crying blood every word, every sentence punishes the heart.

After finishing speaking, Gan Tian covered her face and ran out of the bookstore.

"Miss Gan..." Song Lan wanted to call her back, but then thought that this was a good opportunity to get rid of her entanglement, so she stopped moving.

Tang Chi thought for a while, and had to bite the bullet and remind him: "Brother Song, is it dangerous for Miss Gan to be alone this late at night?"

It's not that he wants to spoil the scenery, it's because he understands that Miss Gan's family has an unusual status, and she is also the object that their Shadow Bookstore will try their best to win over. If something happens to them, the Gan family will have to pick them up?

"It's okay," Song Lan smiled, "I've already called the Gan family, and the Gan family should have arrived by now."

Tang Chi suddenly said, "It turns out that Brother Song, you have made arrangements, so I can rest assured. But, Brother Song, you and Brother Xie..." Tang Chi's eyes flicked back and forth between Song Lan and Xie Daonian.

"Don't think too much about it. What happened just now was just to let Miss Gan get out of the way. We, we were acting." Song Lan's complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly explained.

"Acting?" Tang Chi looked surprised, his eyes froze on Xie Daonian's arms around Song Lan's shoulders and waist.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a fake, does it?Tang Chi muttered in his heart.

Song Lan noticed his gaze and was startled. She hurriedly pushed Xie Daonian away, pretended to be nonchalant, straightened her clothes, and her eyes flickered: "If you don't act more realistically, how can Miss Gan believe it? Hey, what do you say?" Right?" Song Lan gestured to Xie Daonian with his eyes, telling him to speak clearly.

Xie Daonian's expression looked innocent: "Huh?"

"Quickly explain to Tang Chi!" Seeing that Xie Daonian didn't know whether he was really confused or pretending to be stupid, Song Lan was so anxious that he wanted to jump, and stared at him with eyes that could shoot knives, "If you don't explain, Tang Chi will really misunderstand!"

At this moment, Tang Chi's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Xie Daonian nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Daonian turned to Tang Chi who didn't know why, and said with a smile, "Tang Chi, Brother Song is right, we were actually acting just now."

Even Xie Daonian said that, Tang Chi did not doubt that he was there, and smiled happily: "I see, I was really surprised just now."

Song Lan's hanging heart was finally able to let go, but before he could feel relieved for a few seconds, Tang Chi asked again: "But it's strange, how did Brother Xie know that Miss Gan would confess to Brother Song at this time? "

"Ahem..." Song Lan coughed for a while, feeling really weak.

"That's because your Brother Song secretly sent me a text message, asking me to come to the rescue." Xie Daonian smiled and took over the conversation.

Maybe it was because Xie Daonian's tone was too natural, or maybe Tang Chi just asked the question casually and didn't want to go into it. In short, this kid really believed it, nodded and said, "So that's the case."

Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the other party is Tang Chi, who is more nervous. If it is the shrewd Lin Se or the sensitive Xiao'e, it may not be possible to get away with it.If Tang Chi asked a question like "If this is the case, why didn't Brother Song find someone nearby, instead of looking for Brother Xie who is far away in Shanghai", if he asked such a question, Song Lan really didn't know how to answer it.

Xie Daonian took a deep look at Song Lan, and said meaningfully: "Since the matter has been resolved, I will go back. Tang Chi, let's go."

"Hey, so soon?" Tang Chi was taken aback. He hadn't been to Jincheng before, and he wanted to visit the Shadow Bookstore here.

"Don't forget that you have to work in a few hours." Xie Daonian guessed what Tang Chi was thinking, and said deliberately.

"Okay..." Speaking of this, Tang Chi couldn't help feeling discouraged, and lowered his head, "Then Brother Song, I'll come to see you next time when I have time."

Song Lan didn't expect them to leave as soon as they said they would, so he hesitated and asked, "Is it just like that?"

Xie Daonian's footsteps faltered slightly, he turned his head, raised his brows slightly, the light above his head was reflected in his eyes, and it appeared unusually bright: "Why, are you reluctant?"

"..." The corners of Song Lan's mouth twitched, showing a very impatient expression, "Let's go, I won't see you off!"

Xie Daonian smiled and led Tang Chi away.

The bookstore fell silent again, inexplicably, a feeling of desolation and loneliness surged into Song Lan's heart, he suddenly felt that this place was too quiet, too quiet for people to live in.

"...Mr. Song?" Song Lan came back to her senses, only to realize that it was the security guard of the mall talking to her, "Mr. Song, the mall has to be closed, look..."

"I see, I'll leave right away." Song Lan came back to her senses, smiled at the security guard, and left with a sad face.

"Strange," the security guard rubbed the back of his head and said to himself, "Mr. Song looks weird today..."

***

Tang Chi took Xie Daonian back to Shanghai. Seeing that there was still some time before going to work, he returned to his and Xiao'e's residence.

"Are you back?" Xiao'e was watching the video of Big Stomach King, and immediately raised her head in surprise when she heard the movement.

"I said you're so weird, watching this kind of video while losing weight, aren't you afraid you won't be able to stand it?" Tang Chi pointed helplessly at the iPad in Xiao'e's hand and closed it, and the video just stopped at the popular big stomach king in that island country An image of stuffing a mouthful of a calorie-looking dessert into your mouth.

"This kind of video is the best to watch when you're hungry. It's abusive." Xiao'e waved her hand, "You won't understand with such a rough nerve!"

"Okay." Tang Chi shrugged.

"By the way, brother Xie, what are you going to Jincheng to do at night?" Xiao'e asked again.

Tang Chi explained the matter clearly in a few words, and added a sentence at the end: "Actually, I think that Miss Gan looks quite similar to Brother Song in appearance. She has a good family background and is polite... Hiss—you What are you pinching me for?" Tang Chi looked at his girlfriend aggrievedly.

Xiao'e folded her breasts and looked sideways at Tang Chi: "You must have fallen in love with that Miss Gan, right?" There was a sour taste in her words.

"No, no, how dare I?" Tang Chi was sweating profusely, and quickly explained, "It's just a pity. If we can marry the Gan family, wouldn't it be much easier to succeed?"

"You think Brother Song is that kind of superficial phoenix man?" Xiao'e gave Tang Chi a blank look, "But..."

"But what?" Tang Chi was confused.

"But you just said that Brother Song specifically asked Brother Xie to save him?" Xiao'e half-closed her eyes.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Tang Chi didn't understand why.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Xiao'e rubbed her chin and speculated, "Brother Song and Brother Xie are in Jincheng and the other is in Shanghai. They are thousands of miles away. The matter is more urgent. Why don't you say Brother Song?" Looking for other people in Jincheng, but looking for Brother Xie? Taking a step back, if he thinks that he is more reliable, he can also find Lin Se and the others in Nanhai Province, at least they are a little closer than Brother Xie."

"That's right, why didn't I think of this level!" Tang Chi suddenly realized, and gave Xiao'e a thumbs up, "Honey, you are really smart!"

"Then there's no need for you to say it?" Xiao'e shook her head triumphantly, then fell into deep thought again, "So, what is the reason for this..."

"Could it be because Brother Song and Brother Xie have a good relationship that you asked him for help?" Tang Chi speculated.

"Don't Brother Song have a bad relationship with other people?" Xiao'e retorted.

"Or is it because Brother Song thinks that Brother Xie is good-looking, so he is more convincing to Miss Gan?" Tang Chi raised another conjecture.

Xiao'e disagreed: "In terms of good looks, Lin Se is happy that their looks are not bad, and the distance is even closer. Besides, brother Xie is still an ordinary person, and he doesn't have the ability to move a thousand meters in an instant."

"I don't understand..." Tang Chi shook his head.

"Exclude all the impossibilities, then there is only one truth!" Xiao'e said slowly, imitating the tone of an elementary school student in an island country who would never grow up.

"Huh?" Tang Chi still didn't understand.

"Stupid you, the only possibility is that Brother Song and Brother Xie are lying!" Xiao'e said excitedly, her eyes shining brightly, walking back and forth in the room, "Actually, Brother Song didn't take the initiative to ask Xie Brother Xie asked for help, but Brother Xie went to Song Brother first."

"But if that's the case, how did Brother Xie know that Miss Gan would confess to Brother Song? Then why did they lie?" Tang Chi was still puzzled.

"That's right, they can tell the truth, so why would they lie? Unless...unless they have something bigger to hide!" Xiao'e clenched her fist and punched Tang Chi on the shoulder, shouting.

"Hiss—" Tang Chi rubbed his shoulders, his face full of helplessness, "My wife, what are you doing hitting me... According to you, what are they trying to hide?"

"What are you hiding..." Xiao'e looked at Tang Chi with bright eyes, "Honey, tell me everything that happened tonight without missing a single word!"
