I open a bookstore in the human world

"What is this?" Seeing Song Lan directing Mao Shi to move a huge cardboard box into the store, all the ghosts surrounded him curiously, even Xiao Dan, who had always been silent and shy, was holding her pot of tea that never left her hand. Baby Mimosa watched quietly.

"Yes, just put it here, hey, be careful, don't break the machine carelessly." Song Lan watched Mao Shi's movements closely, for fear that this careless guy would accidentally let go, and it would be a disaster.

Under Song Lan's supervision, Mao Shi was also very nervous. He finally put the carton in the designated place, let out a long sigh, and wiped the sweat from his forehead—not tired, but nervous.If he damages the contents of this box, he might not know how Brother Song will clean himself up. You must know that the contents inside were bought at a high price.

Song Lan couldn't wait to open the box, and all the ghosts gathered together to see what was so precious.

"What is this?" Even Xie Daonian who was making tea at the side noticed the movement here.

"Coffee machine." Song Lan continued to unpack the package without looking up.

"Oh——" the ghosts suddenly realized, and then they had doubts, "Brother Song, we are not opening a coffee shop, why are you buying a coffee machine?"

Except for Mao Shi, the only one who knew about it was Lin Se, who was in charge of the account. Song Lan had paid him a large sum of money to buy a coffee machine. Hearing this, he unceremoniously despised the wave of questions: "Stupid, who said Bookstores can’t sell coffee anymore?”

Dao Dao has a look of lovelessness: He is obviously not the only one who asked the question just now, why is he always the one who is responsible?

Happy understood a little bit: "I heard that there are many bookstores now selling drinks and sweets. Does Brother Song want to do the same?"

Song Lan smiled slightly and asked back, "Why not?"

Hearing that food was going to be sold, Tang Chi looked excited, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, food is my favorite!"

Lin Se couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "I warn you first, you can't steal food, it's all for sale."

Tang Chi, who had been robbed, was a little embarrassed: "Who, who said they were going to steal it?"

The ghosts looked at Tang Chi suspiciously.

Tang Chi blushed, and stammered, "Okay, okay, I swear I won't steal it, that's..."

Zuiyue thought it was a bit funny, shook her head and said, "Tang Chi, you and Xiao'e are really strange. One of you ate too much to eat and the other starved to death because of anorexia caused by excessive weight loss. Look, this coffee machine must Xiao'e will take care of it, she will definitely not steal it."

Speaking of the starving ghost Xiao'e, Song Lan also spoke, and asked: "By the way, is Xiao'e feeling better recently? Can you come out to do things?" It was said that Xiao'e had been staying in the hospital because of poor health and mental distress. You can't come out of the bag of ghosts, so many days have passed, you should rest well, right?

Qin Shi couldn't help interjecting: "I haven't seen Xiao'e for a long time, it's strange to say that I miss her."

Zuiyue gave Qin Shi a blank look, and then turned to Song Lan: "I'll ask her, but Brother Song, do you really intend to let Xiao'e take care of the food?"

"And him," Song Lan pointed at Tang Chi with a smile.

Although Tang Chi is gluttonous, like many gluttons, he has acquired a good cooking skill, and he is not a problem with latte art.And Xiao'e is most sensitive to food, so she can just supervise Tang Chi and tell him not to steal it.From Song Lan's point of view, the two of them are the best partners together.

Wen Yan Zuiyue's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.Except for Xiao Dan who gave her a worried look, no one (ghost) noticed that something was wrong with her.

***

Lu Min had just pushed open the glass door of the Shadow Bookstore that day, and immediately noticed something was different.

Nose twitched, and Lu Min suddenly realized: It smells so good, and it smells like coffee!

Lu Min greeted his new male god Linse with a smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Has your store started selling coffee?"

Lin Se nodded and recommended to Lu Min: "Would you like a cup? Freshly ground coffee, the coffee beans are imported from Brazil."

To be honest, Lu Min, who has visited many coffee shops, is not very interested in the coffee sold in bookstores. In her opinion, if you want to drink coffee, you should go to a special coffee shop. As for the coffee sold in bookstores? , mainly for taking pictures, she didn't think she could really drink good coffee in the bookstore.

But since it was his male god who opened the mouth, Lu Min naturally wouldn't refuse. With the mentality of giving it a try, Lu Min smiled and said, "Okay, is there a menu?"

Linse sent a menu.The menu is very special, it is hand-painted, and each food name is followed by a corresponding Q-version cartoon. Lu Min is a little moved, and can't help but want to ask: Do you sell this menu?

"Give me a cup of mocha." Lu Min said.

"Our store offers matcha mille-feuille today, do you want to try it?" Linse recommended again.

Lu Min nodded dispensably: "Then have a copy too."

While waiting for the meal, Lu Min was playing with his mobile phone boredly, when he accidentally looked up and saw a waiter he had never seen passing by with a plate.This is the first time Lu Min has seen her. She is a tall and thin woman with a pointed face, a little pale face, surprisingly big eyes, a slender waist, and slender chopstick legs... Lu Min has seen it before. There are quite a few skinny people, but this is the first time I've seen someone so thin.

Lu Min couldn't help but cast a few more curious glances at the other party, as if feeling Lu Min's gaze, the woman smiled at her, and said softly: "Hello." The voice seemed a little weak, lacking in energy.

"Hello." Lu Min also lowered his voice.For some reason, she didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of blowing her down with one breath.

"Are you new here?" Lu Min hesitated and asked.She had come to the Shadow Bookstore many times, but this was the first time she had seen this woman.He glanced at the name tag on the woman's chest, which said "Xiao'e".

Xiao'e is the starving ghost, the woman who died of dieting to lose weight.

Xiao'e smiled, even her smile was faint, as if it would disappear at any moment, "Yes, I am a new employee."

"Xiao'e, come here!" Someone at the counter called her name.

Xiao'e smiled apologetically at Lu Min, and walked away quickly.

She's so thin...Looking at Xiao'e's back like Liu Fufeng, Lu Minmin sighed, feeling a little suspicious in her heart, could such a delicate beauty really be qualified for the obviously not easy job of a bookstore clerk?

Xiao'e returned to the counter and found that Tang Chi was acting sneakily, with a panicked expression on his face.

Xiao'e narrowed her beautiful eyes, sniffed her nose, and said with certainty, "Tang Chi, you stole the cake!"

"W-Where is it!" Tang Chi pretended to be calm, "Who said I ate it? Did you see it?"

A sneer flashed in Xiao'e's eyes: "I smell it."

Hearing this, Tang Chi felt relieved, and said confidently, "You heard it wrong."

Xiao'e didn't argue with him either, but just strode towards Tang Chi.

"You, what do you want to do?" Tang Chi panicked, seeing Xiao'e's hand getting closer to his neckline, he couldn't help but take a step back, "I tell you, the sun is shining brightly in broad daylight, don't mess around Come on! Come on, stop! If you don’t stop, I’m going to call someone! Come on, someone—”

Tang Chi's voice came to an abrupt end as if it had been cut off suddenly.He stared at Xiao'e with round eyes and a little cake crumbs on her fingers, with an embarrassing expression on her face.

"Then what...a customer has ordered, I'll go get ready." Tang Chi wanted to sneak away.

"Wait." Xiao'e's voice was not loud, but it was very intimidating.

Tang Chi stopped in embarrassment, turned around stiffly, and fawned on his face: "Xiao'e, brother usually treats you well, right? Just help brother this time, don't tell brother Song... "

It's no wonder Tang Chi was so panic-stricken. Song Lan had already stipulated that he would be punished for eating during non-break times, and stealing food prepared for guests was even more sinful.

"What are you talking about?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind Tang Chi, like a bolt from the blue.

Xiao'e shrugged at Tang Chi, with a helpless look on her face: Here, take care, it's not that I don't want to help you.

Tang Chi turned around with a mournful face, guilty of not daring to look at Song Lan: "Brother Song..."

Song Lan said coldly: "Steal food? You will be fined not to eat snacks for a week."

To Tang Chi, this punishment was even more terrifying than going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. His face immediately turned pale when he heard this, and he said in extreme horror, "Brother Song, I—"

"Don't say anything," Song Lan waved her hand and left without looking back. "My little cousin and I are going out for a while. You should take a good look at the store."

"Brother Song and Xie, let's go." Xiao'e smiled and waved goodbye to the two, "We will take a good look at the store, and I will also supervise Tang Chi!"

Tang Chi: "..."

After the two walked out of the shop, Tang Chi glared at Xiao'e angrily, and said, "Did you do it on purpose just now?"

Xiao'e's expression seemed innocent: "What did you say?"

"There are no outsiders present, so don't pretend to be stupid," Tang Chi folded his arms around his chest, "I know, you have always disliked me and are always looking for opportunities to torture me."

Although Tang Chi loved to eat, he was not the kind of ghost who only knew how to eat and was unresponsive. As early as when he was in the bag of ghosts, he found that this starving ghost seemed to have a strong hostility towards him.

Strange, I shouldn't have offended her in the past, right?Tang Chi tried hard to think about when he had hurt Xiao'e when he was still a human, causing her to refuse to let him go even after she became a ghost.

As a result of the memory, Tang Chi was sure that he didn't know Xiao'e when he was still a human.Among other things, the two of them lived in different ages. Xiao'e died of anorexia at the beginning of this century because of improper dieting. He was choked to death too quickly.

So what is the reason?Tang Chi really couldn't figure it out, so he asked Xiao'e directly: "If I have offended you in the past, I apologize to you, but please let me go!" The two had only been working together for how long. Xiao'e had already been caught three times as the "criminal evidence" of stealing food. If this continues, he will definitely be driven crazy.

The corner of Xiao'e's mouth curled up, and under Tang Chi's expectant eyes, she opened her mouth lightly: "No way."

After saying that, Xiao'e didn't care what Tang Chi's reaction was, and happily left with a tray in hand, humming a little tune.
