[HP Tomb Raiders Notes] Zhaoming

Maybe it was because she was too tired from shopping last night, Jiang Lin slept until she was awakened by a knock on the door before struggling to open her eyes. She lazily responded and staggered out of bed to open the door.When he opened the door, A Yuan was standing outside, looking at him in surprise.She suppressed the inexplicable disappointment in her heart, cleared her throat slightly and asked, "What's the matter, A Yuan?"

It was probably the first time the boy saw Jiang Lin wearing pajamas, his ears were slightly red, and then his eyes swept to the other's feet, and immediately screamed: "Sister, why don't you wear shoes?! You are so dirty on the ground do you know?"

She rubbed her feet on the ground unconsciously, and then yawned: "I'll have time to put on my shoes when you finish talking earlier."

"It's eleven o'clock now, does Miss Xiaolin want breakfast or lunch?"

"Ah? Oh... what?! It's eleven o'clock?" Jiang Lin finally realized, she forgot that although today is Saturday, Brother Cheng had informed the owner that he would come to the store one day earlier, that is today.After realizing the seriousness of the problem, the witch slammed the door directly, regardless of the other party's bewildered expression, then threw herself on the bed, grabbed the clothes on the bedside table, and quickly put them on her body. Ten minutes later she opened the door and rushed to the bathroom like a gust of wind.When A Yuan saw her again, Jiang Lin was adjusting the small leather shoes by grabbing the handrail of the stairs. After turning the shoes to a comfortable position, she straightened up and waved to A Yuan who was standing at the door of the living room: "I'm going to be late for work. Let's go, thank you for waking me up, come back and bring you a duck neck!"

A Yuan looked at the woman who acted like the wind, and had to swallow the words of persuasion. He turned around and looked at the porridge and soup dumplings on the table and muttered to himself: "What should I do, Mr. Zhang also reserved breakfast Let you eat. And, why did a strange man send you back last night?"

No one answered him.

When Jiang Lin pushed open the familiar store door, the clock on the wall just pointed to "12". She walked in panting, and noticed that Cheng Yun was already sitting at the counter. Material records and account books.Seeing her coming in, Cheng Yun hurriedly beckoned her to go over, and then said softly: "My boss has already arrived, and now he's wandering around in the small warehouse behind, don't let me follow. I said you went to deliver things to customers earlier. By the way , didn’t you forget to bring the information?”

Jiang Lin nodded hastily, and took out a document from his bag and handed it to him. After the other party took it, he flipped through it hastily and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.At this time, the door of the warehouse next to him suddenly opened, and a familiar pretty figure appeared behind the door.

"Boss, do you have any questions?" Cheng Yun quickly stood up and greeted, and pointed to the girl beside him, "This is the new clerk Xiao Lin. Her information is here, why don't you take a look first ?”

Yao Hui looked at the young girl in front of her, and felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but it was clearly a strange face. After searching in her mind, she was sure that she did not know her before.

"Hello, I'm Yao Hui, the owner of this store. You can just call me Miss Xiaohui." She greeted with a smile, and took the information Cheng Yun handed over by the way, flipped it over and put it back on the counter.

"Hello, Miss Hui." Jiang Lin put her hands behind her back nervously. She didn't expect Yao Hui to be the owner of this store. Then she thought that Yao's family had lived in Taoqiu for generations, so opening a store on Lin'an Street was not a bad idea. Nothing unusual, but it reminded her of a few others.

Don't know how they are doing now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin suddenly felt heartbroken. At this time, Cheng Yun motioned her to tidy up the shelves. She quickly seized the opportunity to do something, so as not to be seen by her old friends.

Fortunately, Yao Hui did not act strangely. The witch looked at the shop and nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Cheng Yun, you can make ordinary potions independently. I am assured of that. But some potions have complicated ingredients. The production cycle is also long, so leave those to me. By the way," she turned to the girl who was still stacking a pile of newly arrived African snake bark, "Xiao Lin, the potions class on your graduation report card The grades are not bad, especially the operation score is very high, so you can be my assistant. Don't worry, the salary will be calculated separately."

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Lin quickly agreed.

In the following days, the business of the potion shop was still good. After all, Yao Hui's potion level was professional, and Jiang Lin also learned a lot while assisting her. She was even able to independently make the Potion of Living Hell.However, Yao Hui has strict control over these dangerous medicines, requiring customers to show certain licenses before they can buy them.As a former Auror, Jiang Lin understood the other party's intentions and supported her very much.

When it was time to pay her wages, she touched the heavy bag and smiled happily.Now I can pay off the foreign debts I owe, and then take my two roommates out for a good meal. I have been here for so long, and I haven’t tasted Hangzhou’s delicious food yet.

Jiang Lin was working very hard today, and everyone was smiling. Cheng Yun and Yao Hui never imagined that such a simple matter as salary payment would make the girl so happy.Before leaving get off work, Cheng Yun stopped her and said, "Are you free tomorrow weekend? Qingqing wants to meet you—that's my girlfriend." After finishing speaking, he scratched his head, as if a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yun's gift was also sent out, and judging from his red face afterwards, he should have responded well.But why does his girlfriend want to see him, is he afraid of being poached?

Thinking of this, she thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but I have an appointment, would it be convenient to bring them here together?"

"No problem, as long as you are willing to come. Then see you at Amy Coffee Shop on Lin'an Street at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Cheng Yun seemed relieved after speaking, then waved with the two girls and left.

Jiang Lin and Yao Hui also finished packing up the materials in their hands, and they bid farewell and went home.

She only started to regret it when she returned to the residence, and Zhang Qiling would be troubled again, wondering if he would mind going out with her.But it seems that I seldom see the other party going out, even on weekends.Ah Yuan often goes out alone, and seeing that face full of peach blossoms, he is probably with his girlfriend.

The building was quiet, and the living room was filled with soft light. When she walked to the door, she saw Zhang Qiling sitting on the sofa flipping through a book, very similar to the "Historical Records" she had seen before.

Jiang Lin cleared his throat, at this moment he heard a noise and raised his head, looking at her calmly with deep eyes.

"I want to ask if you have any plans for tomorrow afternoon? Two friends asked me to go out to play. I don't think you have gone out on weekends. Why don't you just go out and relax?"

Zhang Qiling seemed to be stunned for a moment, as if he had never heard such an invitation before, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at her again and said, "Okay."

"Great, I'll call you when I leave." She almost jumped up happily, and the worry and anxiety along the way disappeared.She turned around and wanted to continue upstairs, but she retracted her foot as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Go to bed early, good night!" The girl said with a sweet smile, and then jumped upstairs, humming a cheerful tune.

Zhang Qiling looked at the door, recovered after a while, and continued to look at the book in his hand, suddenly felt that the content in the book was more interesting than before.

Jiang Lin woke up early the next morning. She took off the quilt cover and sheets vigorously, put them in the washing machine, and then ordered the two men to take out the laundry they wanted to wash. Diligence" in the voice of emotion doing housework hard.She secretly cast a magic spell while A Yuan was out shopping for vegetables, all the laundry to be washed was cleaned automatically, and the brooms and mops also cleaned the room separately.

Zhang Qiling came back after exercising and saw such a scene. He stared at a teapot being poured with interest, and then said to Jiang Lin who was sitting on the sofa, "Is your wand okay?"

"Well," she took a sip of the milk tea in the mug, "I changed it, and it's much easier than before. Now, let me show you another fun one."

She seemed to be playful, pulled out the magic wand around her waist and waved at the teacup on the table. The cup seemed to be held by an invisible hand and floated steadily to Zhang Qiling's side.She motioned for the other party to catch it, the man hesitated for a moment, and reached out to take the glass floating in the air.She smiled triumphantly, and waved her hand holding the wand lightly, the tea in the cup escaped from the cup without warning and hung above the rim, like a ball of watery marshmallow.Zhang Qiling held the cup and tried to catch the water ball, but the water ball followed his movements as if alive.

Zhang Qiling turned her head to stare at Jiang Lin, she finally stopped the game under the gaze of the other party.The tea fell steadily into the cup again.

Jiang Lin rarely casts spells outside of the magic world, lest the secrets of the magic world be revealed.However, it feels very novel to use magic in front of an ordinary person like this, not to mention that this person is immune to forgetfulness, and I don't know if the forgetfulness potion will work.Maybe it was because he was stared at for too long, Zhang Qiling suddenly said: "Are those two friends the same as you?"

"Well, brother Cheng is a wizard, so I don't know about his girlfriend, maybe so." Cheng Yun didn't mention much about his girlfriend to her.

"Can a wizard marry a Muggle?"

"Yes, although the confidentiality regulations stipulate that the secrets of the magic world cannot be revealed, it is not so strict. Otherwise, how will the wizard group continue?" , there will also be a small number of squibs-their magic power is limited, almost equivalent to Muggles, but they can see things that ordinary people cannot see. Besides, there will also be magical children among ordinary people, so that Muggle families must know that the wizarding world exists and understand the community and society."

Zhang Qiling nodded thoughtfully. He noticed that the girl looked a little sad at this moment. He rarely saw the other party have similar negative emotions. The girl was always optimistic and lived seriously as if she had endless energy.He originally wanted to end the topic without further questioning, but he didn't expect the girl to speak up by herself.

"But some families are very stubborn. They don't recognize the wizarding world, refuse to let their children go to school, intimidate them when they show extraordinary magical powers, imprison them, and even burn or drown them in severe cases." Her The tone became a little sad, "Those children were regarded as aliens since they were young. They should have enjoyed another better life, but they died tragically because of the prejudice of their family members. Whose fault is this?"

"Everyone has his own destiny." Zhang Qiling's tone was heavy, as if he felt the same for Jiang Lin's words.

She didn't continue this topic, but listened to the movement upstairs and said: "The clothes seem to be washed, I'll go and have a look."

After they tidied up the house, Ah Yuan came back with big bags and small bags. The boy excitedly said that he went early today, and the dishes were fresh and cheap.This surprised Jiang Lin. He hadn't seen this guy cooking during the few days he lived in Chencang.

She took the initiative to help A Yuan process the materials, and she also wanted Zhang Qiling to help, after all, everyone wanted to eat, but A Yuan stopped her desperately, saying that Master Zhang could not do it.Only then did she realize that the other party was a super fan again, so she gave up the idea of ​​letting that great master into the kitchen.

However, she was impressed by A Yuan during the dinner. The boy made braised pork ribs, mapo tofu, pickled fish, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a meatball soup.It looks very appetizing and the taste is also in place.Jiang Lin praised Ah Yuan very much, and the boy proudly said that if he hadn't gone to help his girlfriend cook two meals wisely later, maybe the two would have broken up.This made her feel that foodies are easier to chase.

After the meal, Ah Yuan was still washing the dishes, and she couldn't stop her.Zhang Qiling sat on the sofa acting as a thinker with a peaceful look, but she didn't feel much righteous indignation.Sure enough, appearance is justice, and she couldn't help despising her own values.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, she stopped Zhang Qiling on time, greeted A Yuan and set off.This time I went by car. There were few people on weekends, and it took half an hour to arrive.They walked through the old shop until the lively alley behind the stone wall emerged.

"Welcome to Lin'an Street, Mr. Zhang." Jiang Lin said playfully.

Zhang Qiling noticed that the girl's face had changed at some point, it was quite different from before, but those eyes were still clear, reflecting his own figure at this moment.

It was still early, and the two of them walked slowly on the street. When they passed by a very old shop, the girl stopped suddenly. She asked herself to wait outside first, and then walked in quickly.Zhang Qiling felt familiar with the whole shop, as if he had often seen this kind of decoration in the past years, not only this one, but there were many other shops on Lin'an Street that were old, but he didn't find it strange.Before he had time to grasp the ethereal feeling, the girl had already come out, while putting an envelope in his hand into the bag.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat first." Jiang Lin said happily, as if she was hiding a huge sum of money.

They came all the way to the Amy coffee shop around the corner. After entering the shop, Jiang Lin asked the other party what he wanted to eat. The man shook his head slightly, as if he didn't care about these things.In the end, she recommended a matcha double berry cake, and she asked for a rainbow ice cream.The two sat in the shop and ate slowly, it seemed that the cake tasted good, not as sweet as it looked, and Zhang Qiling's cake was almost eaten.

Jiang Lin drank the melted cream in the cup and said, "Well, it's really cold, and it doesn't feel as refreshing as eating in summer."

She wiped her mouth and was about to buy another drink, when the man across from her suddenly reached out to stop her.When she was still wondering what was going on with the other party, the man had already pulled off the tissue on the table and reached out to rub her face lightly.

For a moment, Jiang Lin felt a warm feeling flowing from her heart, and then her ears began to heat up. She froze in place and didn't know what to do, and the other party quickly withdrew her hand.

"Hi, Xiao Lin! You guys are so early. This is my girlfriend Qingqing; Qingqing, this is my colleague Xiao Lin I mentioned to you." Standing beside Cheng Yun was a tall young girl with a delicate face. Li, at this moment was looking her up and down.

Jiang Lin has never been so grateful for her colleague's arrival like this moment, she quickly said: "Hello, this is my friend Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling, this is my colleague Cheng Yun."

Both men nodded their heads, Qingqing took Jiang Lin's hand familiarly: "I didn't expect Xiao Lin to be such a cute girl, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

She hurriedly smiled and replied: "Where, Qingqing was joking, brother Cheng is really lucky to find such a beautiful girlfriend like you."

The four of them started chatting after ordering drinks.Not knowing who started it, they gradually talked about the attack on Chen Cang some time ago.

"I heard that the witch who was caught later was the real dark wizard, and the girl who was framed is so pitiful that she has not been found yet." Qingqing said with some regret.From the previous conversation, she knew that the other party was a member of the Auror Command, which made her feel more cordial.

"What's the matter with that black wizard?" Zhang Qiling, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked.

"It seems that the witch was going to attack again. When she attacked the witch hospital, she was caught by the Department of Prohibition of Misuse of Magic. It was only found out by using Veritaserum during the interrogation." Seeing that someone was interested, Qingqing continued to add, " Hey, Xiao Lin, what's the matter with you, are you uncomfortable?"

Jiang Lin's face was a bit ugly, she waved her hand and said: "It's okay, maybe I ate too much cold food and drank hot coffee just now-you continue to talk, what happened afterwards, are there any casualties in the hospital?"

"It was quite lucky this time, no one was injured, unlike the gathering where seven or eight people disappeared at once. Then the witch was sentenced to life for life, and now she is probably in Yunsen Tower. Alas, at a young age There is nothing wrong with going to be a terrorist." Qingqing drank her red tea, and seemed to feel that it was not good to mention prison, so she quickly changed the topic again. "By the way, where does this friend work?"

"He works in an antique shop in the city, and he doesn't like to talk very much." Jiang Lin said quickly, afraid that the other party would not talk to him.

Cheng Yun chimed in at the side: "It seems that you get along quite well, the relationship must be very good, right?"

"Uh, okay."

Qingqing smiled mysteriously: "I saw it just now, and even wiped your face for you. Why don't you give the man a chance? Or do you mind if he's not a wizard?"

So the wind of gossip is blowing all over the land of China, and there is no way to hide it.

She felt her scalp numb, and said quickly: "I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well today. If you don't want to hang around anymore, we'll take our leave first."

Cheng Yun and his girlfriend expressed that they wanted to sit down for a while, Jiang Lin dragged Zhang Qiling out the door.She was disclosing the news clearly along the way, and she felt very strange in her heart, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't find anyone to question.Except for the witch who was imprisoned in Yunsen Tower, no one seemed to understand the key points of the whole incident.

She was a little unhappy, but then she thought that the attack was not done by herself, and she didn't have to bear any major responsibility. Besides, she was still expelled, so she could completely ignore what happened to Chen Cang.After she figured it out, she felt that the burden in her heart was relieved a lot, and she arrived at the residence in a short while. Zhang Qiling just stepped on the stairs on the second floor, and she called him to stop him as if remembering something.

"Here, this is the money to pay you back. I just paid my wages yesterday. I went to Ming Pavilion to exchange the banknotes you use. You count them." Jiang Lin took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to him.

Zhang Qiling looked a little surprised, as if he had never been paid back, he hesitated for a while, but still accepted it: "Well, don't look at it."

She jumped up the steps one step at a time, just at the same height as Zhang Qiling, and then said: "Thank you today. If you have anything to say in the future, maybe I can help with some small things." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for the other party to respond. Responding, he jumped up two more steps, stretched out his hand and gestured for the height of the two of them.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask a question—of course it's fine if you can't answer it." She looked at Zhang Qiling expectantly, "How tall are you?"

The man who had just been attacked was looking at her quietly at this moment, as if he was not ready to answer this simple question.She was made guilty by the other party's faint expression, and was about to go upstairs with a smile when she suddenly heard the other party speak again.

"180."

"Wow..." She suddenly stopped, and wanted to continue to sigh, but Zhang Qiling had already stepped onto the second floor and entered the room directly.

Uh……

When Jiang Lin returned to the room, she felt light all over her body. She threw her bag on the cabinet, and threw herself under the quilt. After lying quietly for a few minutes, she couldn't help but rolled a few times.

Is this a real date?After washing, she lay on the bed and thought silently.

The author has something to say:

Sure enough, I still can't get the running account, which feels weird.
