come to my office after get off work

Episode 01 First Encounter (Parallel World)

The rain in summer is always fickle. It was sunny just now, but it rained heavily in the blink of an eye.

The rain was so heavy that the whole city was foggy.

Ding-dong-

Hello, welcome.

The door of the convenience store opened and closed.

A middle-aged man came in, who seemed to be sheltering from the rain.He stepped on the water on the door mat and went into the store to buy something.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, during the peak traffic period, and there was no one else in the store except him and the girl at the cashier.

It's still raining outside, and it's getting bigger and bigger.

Across the shelf, the middle-aged man has secretly glanced at the girl several times.Recently he has been coming to this shop all the time, sometimes watching her secretly.

She is very thin, and she always wears a ball head when she works, showing her fair neck.He doesn't like to talk, and his eyes are always full of melancholy.

She likes to keep her head down, so she can always see her thin side face.

She also seems to love tidying up things. Her pair of white hands are slowly sorting out the banknotes in the box. Because she is too thin, a small bone protrudes from her wrist, which makes people want to hold it.

The man observed so carefully that he could see the changes in the girl's skin color.Maybe it's a cloudy day, but today she lacks a little color, her skin is fair, it looks like she hasn't had a good rest.

The man took a bucket of instant noodles from the shelf and glanced at her again.

With a perfect appearance and an indifferent attitude, how could there be such a girl?Almost fulfilled all his fantasies...

Time passed quickly, the man walked around for seven or eight minutes, still with the bucket of instant noodles in his hand, and finally went to the cashier to check out.

closer to her.

The pleasant smell floats into the man's nasal cavity, if it is possible...

The man handed over the instant noodles, and the girl took it and scanned the QR code without saying a word.

"how much is it?"

"Five yuan." The voice was cold, just like her.

Dip, I scanned the QR code, but the man didn't leave.

"how old are you?"

Jiang Shu:?

The man sneered, "I've been following you for a long time, you are so beautiful, have you considered changing jobs?"

Jiang Shu ignored him, turned around and went to add water to the Kanto Boiler, the coffee machine was still boiling, and the rain outside was pattering, other than that, it was a bit too quiet.

The man didn't speak, his eyes fell on Jiang Shu, watching the operation in her hands, his throat slipped unconsciously, seeing that Jiang Shu didn't speak, he had no choice but to speak again:

"Help me an oden, two radishes and one kelp roll."

Jiang Shu put the food into the box.

"Add more soup."

So she scooped up a spoonful of soup.

"how much is it?"

"Eight dollars."

The man took out his mobile phone again to pay, and at the moment Jiang Shu was about to scan the QR code, the man stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Shu's wrist.

Ding-dong-

Hello, welcome.

It was raining heavily, and another girl came in. She was covered in moisture, and she saw such a scene the moment she entered.

The girl at the cash register was pinched by the middle-aged wretched uncle, the girl struggled a bit, trying to get away, but she was not as strong as the man.

Ji Lianxing was so angry that he ran into sexual harassment in broad daylight!

"what are you doing!"

An exclamation startled the man.

There was a row of umbrellas at the door, and Ji Lianxing took an umbrella and rushed up in a few strides, and then beat up the middle-aged man with the umbrella.

"You can't see such an obvious camera?! Disgusting thing!" Ji Lianxing poked him on the back several times, the man screamed from the beating, Ji Lianxing continued to scold: "Rotten! Beat you to death! "

"I was wrong! I was wrong, I was wrong!!" The man raised his hands in surrender, fled in a panic under Ji Lianxing's curse, and finally fled into the rainstorm...

Panting for breath, Ji Lianxing glanced sideways at Jiang Shu.

Just one glance, a strange feeling ran through her heart, the source of this feeling was elusive, she felt her heart beat a little faster, she didn't know if it was panic or something else.

Jiang Shu lowered his head slightly, and from Ji Lianxing's perspective, he could just see her straight nose bridge and lips.

She was staring at the wrist, a little red where the bony bump was, and was rubbing one hand with the other as if sprained.

"Are you okay?" Ji Lianxing's voice softened a lot, put down the umbrella in his hand and walked towards Jiang Shu.

Only then did Jiang Shu look up at Ji Lianxing, their gazes collided, and they both froze for a moment.

Eye contact, Ji Lianxing held her breath, feeling her heart pounding, as if her DNA had moved, how could she do this!what!good!look! ?

"Well, it's okay, thank you." Facing Ji Lianxing's eyes, Jiang Shu was a little at a loss, so he could only lower his head and scoop the soup from the Kanto cooking into a cup, using this action to cover up his inner panic.

"You're welcome, but next time you have to be careful." Ji Lianxing looked around, "Why are you the only one in the store?"

"The others are busy." Jiang Shu put a few balls in the cup and added some soup. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ji Lianxing, who was already picking food from the shelf.

Compared with the middle-aged man just now, Ji Lianxing's shopping speed is very fast. When she came to check out with some snacks, Jiang Shu just finished cooking the Oden.

So Jiang Shu started to pay the bill, and Ji Lianxing stood there watching her pay the bill.

She stared at her hands, the slender wrists gave off a sense of weakness, very thin and white.

Scanning the price list bag after bag of food, Ji Lianxing regretted that he took such a little thing.

"What's your name? My name is Ji Lianxing."

"Jiang Shu."

"Your name sounds really nice." Ji Lianxing almost blurted out.

There was a ripple in Jiang Shu's heart, and he couldn't explain the feeling. Does this name sound good?She was the first to say so.

After paying the bill, Ji Lianxing scanned the QR code to pay, and took another look at Jiang Shu.

"Is your hand really okay? Do you want to take a leave of absence?"

Jiang Shu shook his head, the pain was nothing, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." She picked up the Oden beside her, handed it to Ji Lianxing, and said, "Here for you."

"For me?"

"Well, no money, thank you just now..."

"This is what it should be. By the way, remember to call the surveillance alarm and deal with that person, or will he harass you again?" Ji Lianxing glanced at the time, "Sorry, I have to go first, I still have class."

Jiang Shu nodded, "You go."

It was raining heavily, and Ji Lianxing rushed into the rainforest with an umbrella, while Jiang Shu stood at the cash register, watching her leaving figure until the tall figure disappeared from sight...

She said her name was Ji Lianxing.

How could he not know that she is Ji Lianxing? A student of N University, a sophomore, very famous.The family is rich, good-looking, and has good grades...

It is the envy of many people.

And Jiang Shu himself, with no relatives and reasons, lived hard alone.

Fortunately, she has just graduated from the postgraduate entrance examination this year and has become a graduate student of N University. The way she supports herself is to work in a convenience store, which is just one of her part-time jobs.

It's the last week though, next week I'll get paid and then quit...

They are two people living in completely different worlds.

Jiang Shu pulled his mind back and continued working.Soon, the rain outside gradually subsided, and people came to the convenience store one after another...

It seems to be just an episode, just like this rain comes and goes quickly.

Jiang Shu didn't take it seriously, so when Ji Lianxing came to the convenience store again at night, it was a lie that she wasn't surprised.

What is she here for?Do you want to buy something?Or find yourself?

After thinking about it, Jiang Shu still had no expression on his face. She took a look and saw something in Ji Lianxing's hand.

Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed, wondering if he should take the initiative to greet her, because the supervisor was also in the store.

Ji Lianxing went to the shelf to take things casually to check out, and asked Jiang Shu during the process: "What time do you get off work?"

"Ten minutes left."

"Then I'll wait for you at the door~"

I don't know why Ji Lianxing waited for her, I just feel very strange, they are not familiar with each other, but Ji Lianxing came to her suddenly, so why?

Five minutes later, Jiang Shu took over.

I was quite tired after a day of work, and when I went out, there was a figure standing at the door.

Just as Jiang Shu was about to speak, the other party greeted him first: "Hi~"

"Hello......"

Ji Lianxing had already walked towards her and handed her the bag in his hand.

"what is this?"

"Plaster for hands, wipe it on."

Jiang Shu didn't expect that she was here to give this?What a small matter, even she herself forgot about the injury on her hand, but when Ji Lianxing mentioned it, Jiang Shu felt that her wrist really hurt a little.

"Thank you, I'm fine, keep the medicine for yourself." She pushed the medicine back.

As a result, Ji Lianxing pushed over again, and said: "Look, your hands are still red, and it will be much better if you apply it. I talked about you with my friend today, and she said that she knew you and that you were from our school." Graduate student, then I should call you senior sister."

"Ah."

Except for "um", Jiang Shu didn't know how to respond. She didn't often communicate with people like this, she was too active, and she didn't know how to deal with such enthusiasm as an introvert. If it was someone else, she might be colder.

But this is Ji Lianxing, probably because she helped out during the day, Jiang Shu didn't want to take away her kindness.

"So senior sister, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Jiang Shu lied.

"Oh, well, where do you live? A school dormitory?"

"No." In order not to be disturbed during the postgraduate entrance examination, Jiang Shu chose to rent a house outside, which is a community not far from here, "I rent a house."

"It's so late, shall I take you home?" Ji Lianxing took out the car key from his pocket, pressed it, and the car across the street turned on.

Jiang Shu glanced, it was a sports car.

Well, a sophomore student driving a sports car is a world she has never touched.

"No need, it's very close, I'll just go back by myself." Jiang Shu had already taken steps towards home.

Ji Lianxing behind her followed her, and said while walking, "Senior sister, can I go with you?"

Jiang Shu began to refuse, "It's very late, do you want to go back? It's not safe for a girl to be alone later."

"It's not safe for you to go back, how about I take you? I'll drive back, it's safe."

Jiang Shu stopped, and Ji Lianxing also stopped.

"Why is this?" Maybe it was because she was very wary all the time, Jiang Shu didn't believe that someone would suddenly treat her well, "Thank you for helping me during the day, but you make me unbelievable."

Feeling her tone, Ji Lianxing panicked, "I'm not a bad person! I just want to make friends with you. I don't know why, but I think you are very kind."

Jiang Shu didn't speak.

Seeing her silent, Ji Lianxing was a little disappointed.Maybe it was because I was too abrupt and reckless, which scared her?

"It's okay, if senior sister doesn't want to, I won't—"

Jiang Shu interrupted her: "Yes."

"Ah? What can I do?"

"We can be friends."
