Raymond wears a funny chef's hat and a pink striped apron.He greeted a woman who appeared to be in her 30s with a big smile.As a newly appointed bakery clerk, he is not jerky or shy at all, and handles every customer who comes to the store with ease.Especially the lady in front of her, who was amused by his joke.

"Caroline dear, I understand why you don't like cheesecake, because you are like this, very beautiful," after a while, he called each other's name familiarly, "but you must try this sweet cake. lock up."

This Caroline was deeply pleased by his poor compliment.They chatted about work, address, and family members, and finally Caroline smiled and left with nearly 10 donuts of different flavors.

Jessica sat in the corner, eating sips of ice cream that was about to melt, and watched the whole process.

"What's the difference between this and a scam?" She looked at Caroline's leaving back, amazed.

"It's a little unfair for you to say that," Raymond straightened his chest and lifted the chef's hat on his head. "My boss is definitely using real materials."

"That's not what I meant, I was talking about you," Jessica emphasized the word "you," "you asked Caroline to buy a caramel donut for the family cat on the grounds that it was cheaper than Cat food is much better."

"I haven't tried cat food, but I'm pretty sure it's better than cat food, what's the problem?"

Raymond stood proudly behind the checkout counter and said it without showing any guilt.

Before stepping down as captain of the soccer team, he decided to do something for his players to make up for the too-hard training.So he paid a lot of money for a yoga instructor - no one could understand, but he insisted on doing it - and thus incurred a huge debt.In order to fulfill the guarantee made to the creditor Mark, Raymond found a part-time job, working as a shop assistant here after school every day.

Jessica looked at Raymond who was using the glass to reflect the mirror, and felt that as far as the current situation is concerned, he has adapted to this job very well, to be precise, quite well.Except for the occasional ramblings that make people suspect that he will go to jail for this, his ability is amazing.

"Why do you have to work in the bakery here?" Jessica held her chin, "Whether it's school or home, there are places closer."

"Because, that is," Raymond shrugged, "I like this place?"

"Really? But I don't think there's anything special here," Jessica looked around the small shop, "it doesn't look like there's a super hot female clerk or something."

In an instant, Raymond's expression became very distorted, he opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again, and under Jessica's suspicious gaze, he said dryly: "I...not...forget it. "

Jessica couldn't help but rolled her eyes to the sky.

"You can go home anytime," Raymond exclaimed angrily, "you're not asked to stay."

"If I could, I would," Jessica retorted, "if you would allow your precious car to be taken away by someone who doesn't have a license but is a good driver."

"Don't even think about it." Raymond stuck out his tongue slightly at her.

"Uh, hey, Raymond."

Just as Jessica was thinking about how to smash the ice cream in her hand on Raymond's head, a boy who looked about their age pushed open the door and walked in, visibly startled by Raymond's sticking out tongue .

"Hahaha, Harry," Raymond quickly retracted his long tongue, glared at Jessica, and smiled awkwardly, "You look good, man. But there are still twenty minutes before the shift change .”

"I guess I got there a little early." Harry scratched his head and smiled shyly.

Jessica looked at Harry in front of her, feeling a sense of déjà vu.With his long curly hair hanging over his shoulders and his hippie attire, something suddenly occurred to her.

"You...you..." Jessica swung the spoon up and down at Harry unconsciously, "You are...James...party..."

"Can't you be a little polite?" Raymond snorted, turned to Harry with a smile and said, "Sorry, this is my sister, you should have seen her at that party last time, I bet you already Impressed with her."

Harry scratched his head again, and smiled at Jessica, dimples showing on his cheeks, "Nice to meet you, eh, Jessica?"

Jessica also smiled. "It's nice to see you too, Harry. The last time I saw you and Raymond were together, at a party at James Perkins' house."

"Yes, Raymond invited me." Harry nodded, with a troubled look on his face, as if he was struggling to bring up that night to Jessica, "If you, uh, I was at the party I met a few friends on the Internet, and they all didn't believe it..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter," Jessica waved her hand nonchalantly, "I'm innocent, and she didn't get away with it, did I?"

Harry was visibly relieved by her unburdened demeanor.Jessica couldn't help feeling a deep affection for this kind and polite boy. Just looking at Harry's face, she imagined how his hair was tied up, and asked hesitantly, "I don't know if I'm looking at Harry." Wrong, but... did you also participate in the football game at the end of last month?"

Jessica vaguely remembered that there was a No. 17 with a ball head on the court at that time, who was the opponent's striker, very similar to the person in front of her.At that time, Sherlock also commented that his Achilles tendon was not very good, which also made her pay more attention to No. 17.

"You read that right." Harry looked at Raymond and smiled sheepishly, "I was your opponent at the time."

"Oh—then how did you get along so well?" Jessica looked between the two of them, a little curious.

In her mind, Raymond is not the kind of person who can ignore the grievances on the field in private. Even if they win in the end, it is impossible to establish any friendship with the "enemy".

Harry licked his lips and replied, "We..."

As soon as he started, he was interrupted.

"It has nothing to do with you." Raymond propped his hands on the cash register, purposely snorted heavily at Jessica, and said with a cold face, "Have you finished your ice cream?"

Then he turned to Harry and said, "Would you like to change in the back first?"

Harry said an apologetic "see you" to Jessica, and went to the back of the shop.

Jessica looked at the angry Raymond in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Pull Harry out of your gossip-girl quagmire," Raymond accused, of course. "You're digging into the privacy of someone you're meeting for the first time."

"Not at all," retorted Jessica, but then the door of the bakery opened again, and two unexpected people entered.

Both of them were dressed in black, which looked out of place in the hot summer.The person walking in front looked serious and vigilant, as if he was facing an enemy.

McCoff?

Before Jessica had time to confirm whether she was dazzled, the people behind also walked in, and it was Sherlock who was also ready for battle.

Sherlock and Mycroft, holding hands, walked in one after the other.

The spoon in Jessica's hand was hanging in the air, and the melted ice cream was about to drip.But what does it matter?She couldn't take her eyes off their hands.

In the world thus stilled, Raymond's shocked voice reached her ears.

"Dude, you said you weren't gay."
