Chapter 10. Like a Fool

Living in a penthouse in the sky in such a bustling city always feels unreal.A gorgeous and cold penthouse villa, a quiet and withdrawn hostess, it sounds like something wonderful will develop... But for more than a month, nothing has come, only a lost bird will come. Visit from time to time.

Time is sometimes so unpredictable, sometimes it is very long, and sometimes it is fleeting.It seems that I have been used to such a peaceful life. When I opened the stained glass door, I found that the unknown flowers in the garden were all smiling. Ning Xier was watering the flowers. From time to time, a few birds passed by chirping. Staying here, sometimes on the shoulders, they seem to like this woman who takes care of the garden every day, Ning Xier sprinkles some millet for the passing little guys to eat.

Today I have to go to a coffee shop called "White House" for an interview. I have already talked with the manager on the phone, and I feel that I should have great hopes.Looking at the note left by Zimo on the table: no return at noon, meeting, dinner together in the evening - Guan Zimo, still so concise.Should I tell the other party in advance, but think about it or forget it.Looking at the sandwiches and milk on the long table, Ning Xier couldn't help but smile, now Zi Mo sometimes cooks breakfast, and every time she makes a copy for her, and she cooks most of the dinners because she wants to exercise Cooking, practice makes perfect is her, and Zi Mo said that she has improved a lot.Although it is not as delicious as the French restaurant that regularly delivers food, Zi Mo seems to like the food he cooks very much.

Thinking of waking up for the first time in the morning, she saw the expressionless Zi Mo cooking Western-style fried eggs in a cute panda apron when she was sleepy.At that time, the other party handed it to him with breakfast, uttered the word "eat", and there was no more text.The simple breakfast is so appetizing, and the taste is of course not to mention. At that time, I just said, "Zimo, if you are laid off, why don't we open a small restaurant, the business will definitely be booming."

At that time, the other party actually seemed to be thinking with his chin on his hand, and stared at her directly. She couldn't believe it.But since then, Guan Mowang has started to make breakfast in different ways every morning, and he never tires of it.

"Ha ha."

At this time, Guan Zimo would always look up at her, wondering what this guy was doing.

Ning Xier took a sip of millet porridge and looked at the exquisite breakfast on the table, "I laugh, I'm so lucky, I always eat breakfast made by Chef Zimo lately~"

Guan Zimo remained silent, ignoring the other party's soliloquy, and continued to sit opposite to eat.

------------------------------------

Sometimes I feel that when Zi Mo is doing things in a serious manner, she is a little dazed. Although she always has a poker face, she seems to understand her emotions. I really want to see what Zi Mo is like when she is working. Could it be that he also has a refrigerator face...

What should I do, I am thinking of someone like a fool.When she realized this, Ning Xi'er staggered a few steps uncomfortably.Fili on the shoulder seemed dissatisfied with being ignored for so long, and pecked at the broken hair of the other party.

"Philip, don't steal the grapes on the table, you know? Last time who ate so many grapes and got diarrhea? Be good, I'll go out for a while." Ning Xi'er was fully dressed and said to Feili on her shoulder.

"Understood, understood~Be careful on the road~" The round body flopped onto the long table, touched the grapes on the tray with my mouth, I'm tired of eating them, so I won't steal them, hum~

The morning sun shone warmly on her shoulders, and Ning Xier walked on the gravel road with small steps. It was really not easy to find this cafe, but the good salary and the accommodation conditions really attracted her.If Philip hadn't been pecking at the newspaper, she almost missed the small advertisement in the middle of the newspaper.

"Oh, here it is." Ning Xi'er looked down at the route copied in her hand, and then looked around for a while, "Strange, why not?" Could it be that she copied it wrong?After searching for a long time but not seeing the door sign, Ning Xi'er was a little speechless. Could this be a deceptive advertisement?At this time, one or two young men and women passed by her, and asked about it——

"Excuse me, may I ask, is Whitehouse Cafe nearby?"

"Hey, isn't the one next to you right? We're just about to go in."

"Next to it?" Ning Xi'er looked up at the ancient attic covered with wisterias, surrounded by small purple and white flowers. It doesn't look like a cafe at all...more like a ghost that no one cares about. House... After evaluating in my heart, I followed the couple into the house.Pushing open the door, the doorbell rang in the wind. It has to be said that there are two worlds inside and outside the house. The cafe, which I thought was small, has a strange layout, which makes people have a romantic feeling of European style.Even in the morning, there are many people drinking coffee and chatting.

"Miss, there is a place here, what do you need?" A sweet-looking girl walked to her side dragging a plate.

"No, no, that... Excuse me, is your store manager there? I'm here to apply for the job." Ning Xi'er hurriedly stood up and waved her hands.

"Wow, are you Miss Ning Xier?"

"um, yes."

"That's great, I thought you weren't coming, I just wanted to call you." The girl was a little excited, and cleared her throat after a while, "I'm the store manager, hello, my name is Mi Xiao."

"Ah, hello, you are the store manager? I feel so young." Although he is the same height as himself, he feels so small. There is a particularly conspicuous beauty mole on his petite face with a bit of baby fat, which is very cute.

"I hate it, I'll be shy if you say that, but I'm older than you." The store manager named Mi Xiao took Ning Xi'er to the back hall to discuss, "Come here, this is a contract, let me show you For a moment, there is absolutely no need to look at it.”

"Well... don't you need to read my resume?" Although Ning Xi'er is not experienced in the world, she also knows the steps to be followed when applying for a job. At least she has studied online for a while, and whitewashed her poor resume.

"No need, didn't you explain your situation clearly on the phone, I think you have a good eye, you will definitely like this job, and the upstairs of our house is a famous house, you can live upstairs , the rent will be deducted from your salary, welcome to White Castle!" The other party finished in one breath, leaving no room for Ning Xier to speak at all, looking at Ning Xier who was sitting on the seat and listening a little confused. Xi'er, Mi Xiao looked at her and blinked, what's wrong, didn't you hear clearly?

"If you recruit employees like this, you will still scare them away." A tall girl wearing a chef's hat came over helplessly, "Sorry, our store manager is always so enthusiastic, hello, my name is... ..."

"Her name is Xiali. Lili is our pastry chef. Although she is young, the desserts she makes are world-class." The store manager Mi Xiao actively pushed Xiali in front of Ning Xier. He didn't shout a few times with a loudspeaker.

"Shop manager, can you stop talking too much, you really won't be able to recruit shop assistants..." Xia Li looked at Ning Xi'er apologetically, "I'm the pastry chef here, and the shop manager has always had such a carefree personality. , don’t look outside, as you can see, the store is quite big, but there are relatively few shop assistants, and sometimes it’s too busy, it’s great that you can apply for this job, this is an employee contract, please take a look.”

"I've already told her about this, and Xi'er has understood." Milo leaned over and complained to Xia Li in disbelief.

"It's because you said it that people can't understand it." Xia Li's expression was very helpless.

Ning Xier instantly felt that the gentle big sister wearing a chef hat in front of her was the real store manager here. The contract was very simple, and Ning Xier felt that the conditions were acceptable. She could work shifts in the afternoon from Monday to Friday, and the salary was very good. And most importantly, a place to stay.

"Xie'er, you can accept whatever conditions you think." Mi Xiaoba looked at Xier who was holding a pen and didn't fill in her name. Where can I find such a girl with a good eye? Don't fail this time. .

"Well, I think it's all good. In fact, it's my first time looking for a job, so I don't understand many things, but I can still be a waiter. I will work hard!" Ning Xier signed her name , and handed it to the other party with a smile.

"Lili, look, I can still recruit people." Mi Xiao took the contract and handed it to Xia Li who was standing aside, with an expression of "Praise me quickly, praise me quickly".

"Well, you are great..." Xia Li praised the other party very much.

Ning Xi'er looked at the interaction between Mi Xiao and Xiali, and reconfirmed that the manager's character is not just confused, but it seems that the atmosphere is really good, thinking resentfully, seeing a customer enter the door, the store manager Mi Xiao I ran over with a tray and greeted the customer warmly, and the customer also smiled back. The background music is the classic blueberry night theme song. I feel that this kind of cafe seems to be very humane.

"The customers who come here are all regular customers. This cafe has been open for many years. It has been opened since Mi Xiao's father's generation. Mi Xiao's coffee making skills have been inherited from her father. People in this area like to come here For coffee." Seeing the surprise in Ning Xi'er's eyes, Xia Li murmured to explain.

"No wonder I see that the people who come here feel very familiar with this place, and everyone feels very happy." Ning Xi'er looked around and sighed. The room was filled with the strong aroma of coffee, and the elegant blues music played slowly , not at all lost to those high-style gorgeous restaurants.

"how do you feel?"

"Well, very good." Praise from the bottom of my heart.

"Then why don't you start working this afternoon~" Mi Xiao said unconsciously, taking advantage of Ning Xi'er's surprise, she dragged her to the attic. "This is the changing room. It's actually just a room in my house. There are small cabinets here, all for the employees. La la la, Xier, your cabinets are here."

There are six wardrobes, each with a cute sign, so there must be other people in the store. "There are other employees."

"Well, there are only six of Xi'er added, and the others are on the same shift as you. Of course, if a day is particularly busy, the store manager, I will call you~" Mi Xiao took out a stack of work clothes from the closet and handed them over. I gave it to Xi'er, signaling to let her see it through.

"By the way, Xi'er, when will you move here? Do you need me to entrust a moving company?" Mi Xiao asked while helping to organize Xi'er's clothes.

"Hey? When will you move here?"

"That's right, didn't you pay more attention to accommodation issues before, and you can actually live here today~" Mi Xiao looked at Ning Xi'er in uniform, like a clothes rack.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." That's right, she had to move out when she found a job, and she actually forgot...

"what happened?"

"No...no, I should move here in a few days, the store manager please take care of me in the future."

"That's a must~"

This afternoon, Ning Xier experienced the work of a waiter seriously. First of all, she had to familiarize herself with the names of various coffees and desserts. Of course, it was necessary to remember, but Yining Xier was confused when she read English. It's not easy for her to remember her personality for a while. Of course, she is full of warm and sunny atmosphere, which really makes the customers in the store very satisfied. Even on a busy Monday, there are still many customers in the cafe in the afternoon.

After a short break, I checked my phone and saw that it was already 05:30 in the afternoon, and there was still a missed text message.

17:10 Zi Mo: ...

A string of ellipsis, this is to ask where she went.It's been more than 20 minutes, I don't know if the person at home will be angry, anyway, let's reply a text message.

17:35 Xi'er: Zi Mo, I'm sorry, I just saw that I'm out now, and I'll be home at six o'clock. (smile)

Just as Ning Xi'er was about to put down her phone, the bell rang.

17:35 Zimo: Yes.

Is the other party replying in seconds!Ning Xi'er could already imagine Zi Mo's gloomy face sitting alone on the sofa and looking at the phone.

--------------------------------

"The store manager, I'll go now~" Ning Xi'er took off her overalls, and tidied up quickly.I looked at my phone, it's too bad, there are too many customers, and now it's delayed until 06:30!

"Xi'er, in fact, if you have time, you can continue to work at night, and get a raise~" Mi Xiao tried to seduce with money, she really likes this new employee.

"Shop manager, I'm sorry, I still have something to do~" Ning Xi'er was so busy that she couldn't even put on her shoes well.I don't know if Zi Mo has eaten at home.

"Xie'er, you are in such a hurry to leave, why is there a man hiding at home?" Mi Xiao threw himself into Xia Li's arms sadly, "Lily, Xi'er was snatched away!"

Xia Li mercilessly pushed away the fake crying store manager, sometimes he felt that he was too kind, "Shop manager, last month's accounts were not balanced in the end, how do you want to get over it~ eh?"

"Xie'er, I have something else to do. We will meet later..." Before Mi Xiao could finish speaking, Xia Li dragged her back to the back hall.

It is true that one thing falls one thing.

It was already [-] o'clock in the evening when I got home, and Zi Mo didn't send her a message after that, but it was the first time Zi Mo sent her a message. Every time she came home from get off work, it was around five o'clock, and she was at home at that time.Looking at the phone, he clearly said he would be back at six o'clock, but he was busy until seven o'clock. Once people get busy, punctuality is really not an accurate number.Zi Mo probably already had dinner, should I tell her that I have found a job?

If you tell her, don't you have to leave here?At least... Can she stay by her side for these two days?I don't know why, but I feel a little unspeakable sadness in my heart.For the first time, Ning Xi'er had the urge not to face Zi Mo.I can take the elevator but insist on taking the stairs, step by step seems to be filled with lead.

I'm really cunning, I hate it so much.

Hesitantly pressed the password, but his mind wandered far away. After entering the wrong password a few times, the input is automatically prohibited, ah, damn it, unexpectedly the hand trembled and the wrong input, four 8s can be entered wrong, Ning Xier, you What's the use... Looking at the fortified gate wanting to cry but without tears.

The phone text message rang——

Zi Mo: Are you a fool?

Seele: Yeah, I'm stupid, like a fool. (Crying face)
