Chapter 38: Business on Thursday Night.

When Chen Xiao got home in the middle of the night, he saw that Ling was curled up on the sofa in the living room and had fallen asleep. Chen Xiao couldn't help laughing bitterly at the fragrant "dry cleaning" the night before.

In terms of men and women, Chen Xiao preferred to be emotional rather than carnal.

Besides, Lingji is still under age, a 15-year-old girl, you can of her like a piece of blank white paper, she does not know anything. If he takes advantage of her, then he really would feel guilty.

Chen Xiao put his things away first and carried Ling Ling into the room from the sofa in the living room. When Ling Ling was picked up by Chen Xiao, she woke up. She just looked at Chen Xiao and said vaguely, "You're back..."

With Ling's arm around Chen Xiao's neck, she fell asleep.

Looking at Ling's curled up posture like a cat in his arms, Chen Xiao was falsely saying that he was not* moved, but after all, he was not a beast and he just put the girl back in the bedroom. Then he ran out to change clothes and take a bath.

When Chen Xiao woke up the next morning, he found that she ran to his bed again. She rested her head on his shoulder and slept there quietly the night before.

Chen Xiao sighed... Alas, it seems that he has to take pains to teach her the concept of "men and women being different".

Not only there is a beautiful little girl who warms up his bed, the fragrance is extremely tempting, thus in this way, sleeping every day becomes a test for himself. Every night, there will be a battle between heaven and man. This state is not good at all.

It's a test of my humanity. Chen Xiao muttered -

Speaking of it, Ling Ling is really cute, especially that she is pure to the extreme, and incomprehensible, which can arouse Chen Xiao's pity - but that's all. Chen Xiao is on board on the idea of pursuing feelings between men and women. Girls like Lingling that have a blank mind, it's really hard to communicate with her . Although that youthful and delicate posture is able to pull up his heartstrings, but... After all, people don't just mate like animals do.

Thinking of these, Chen Xiao can not help but think of the girl named Phoenix - he has to admit that Phoenix is probably the only girl to let his heart beat. Although he only saw her once, in the coffee shop that day, Chen Xiao had a very comfortable feeling with their short jokes. The affinity of Phoenix, her smiles that is of the spring breeze and her witty smiles that made Chen Xiao feel their meeting "extremely" memorable...

After gently getting up from bed, Chen Xiao quickly dressed himself and surprisingly Ling did not wake up. It seemed that she was sleepy today. Chen Xiao carefully did not disturb her, and stood by the bed and watched her sleeping position quietly for a while.

Ha-ha, after all, he's a man. The beautiful scene of a little girl falling asleep is still very eye-catching.

[this here folks is what being a man is like... We have 2 heads! 1 up top, 1 at the bottom!

He then went out of the bedroom, Chen Xiao randomly stick his hand his pocket and touched something - the envelope that Lu Jie gave him, which contained money.

Opening it and seeing it, the money is really not much, only 3000. However, for oneself to attend only one class, 3000 is already a very high number. Lu Jie said very clearly that she thanked himself for saving her, and her family had changed dramatically, and she could not afford any more money. Although their family is very wealthy, but because of her husband eating, drinking and gambling, she will soon divorce and divide property, it is estimated that it is also a very nerve racking event.

Chen Xiao thought about it, but he had another problem: the source of life, income!

Originally, Chen Xiao resigned from the fast food restaurant because he planned to support himself through the work of tutoring. But now the tutor's job is lost and one more person is eating at home. Although the coffee shop's salary is not low... But there is no money in the store. Of course, if Chen Xiao could be cheeky and heartless, he could go and get the gold diamonds that old Edward put in the safe - but he's not that kind of person.

"It's decided, I will skip class today!" Chen Xiao stretched out a lazy waist: "Truancy! Sell gold! Otherwise, I really want to drink the Northwest wind! Besides, there's no need to worry about the old man Edward's selling on the phone last night.

Chen Xiao now had a good reason, quickly made a breakfast, left a note for her, told her that he would come back very late tonight, then took a shoulder bag, and went out in a hurry.

Today, since nothing is happening, Chen Xiao's first thing to do is to go out and run to the bank's gate in the city to find his bicycle. As a result, as Chen Xiao had expected, his bicycle was long gone.

Although he lost his bicycle, Chen Xiao had already been mentally prepared and was relieved of his depression for a while. Then he took the subway to the coffee shop.

The mall is still like a ghost film scene - more than nine o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining, but there are still no shops open in such a large pedestrian street. Chen Xiao walked all the way, only to see two or three municipal cleaners sweeping the road. He then rushed to the coffee shop, and took a gold brick from the safe upstairs.

Throughout the morning, Chen Xiao ran to a jewelry street in K City and took a turn in several gold shops. Selling a piece of bricks and getting more than 200,000 cash, he packed it in the backpack he carried with him. Only when he came out today, he remembered that when Phoenix came to the coffee shop that day. There was no food except coffee in such a big coffee shop.

Chen Xiao also worked in the catering industry, so he simply went to a large warehouse supermarket to buy a batch of ingredients, and small bags of seven or eight, then went back to the coffee shop.

He spent an afternoon cleaning out the coffee shop - it was Thursday today. Old man Edward sternly told himself that he must open tonight. He wanted to see what important guests would come tonight.

Now, he has to do his job, Chen Xiao is a responsible person, and he will not slack off just because his boss is not there.

After everything was done, Chen Xiao sat behind the counter. The afternoon sunshine shone into the coffee shop hall through the huge row of landing windows, which gave people a warm and peaceful feeling. Chen Xiao sat there, but could not help looking at the door every other moment, as if there was a hidden hope in his heart, hoping that the girl who liked to joke and claimed to be a "sprinkler" in herself would appear. Inadvertently, she will push the door in...

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao was disappointed, and Phoenix did not appear again until sunset.

In addition, it also confirms Chen Xiao's another guess: the business of this coffee shop is absolutely terrible! _____________ For a whole day, there was not even a guest... Outside the empty pedestrian street, Chen Xiao carefully calculated that from noon to evening, only three people came to the shop. One was to sell tableware, the other was to sell encyclopedias, and the other was to peddle insurance at home...

It's not surprising to think that such a rotten pedestrian street is on the edge of the city. Who would have nothing to do to come here to shop?

Such a place and to open a coffee shop, it is clear that there will be the loss of business, if it were normal people opening then in less than a month the shop will be closed.

Considering the huge fortune in the safe in the upstairs room, Chen Xiao could not help sighing that old man Edward did not expect to even have a business to make money at all. He can afford to lose even if he loses money on a business for decades.

Well, service agencies, they're all abnormal guys.

In the afternoon when he was bored, Chen Xiao even thought that it was better to bring her with him than to be alone here.

Originally he wanted to read books to pass the time, but who knows, old man Edward left a pile of books under the counter, Chen Xiao turned aside and turned his eyes white.

"Jin Ping Mei", "*", "Lantern Grass Monk"... Yi? Is there an unabridged edition of *, and the Alibada Chronicle?

"When you look at these things at such an old age, you are certainly not afraid of bursting blood vessels." Chen Xiao looked at a bunch of "forbidden books" in front of him, crying and laughing. He shook his head helplessly. "The old man Edward's hobby is really strong." -

Finally, at dinner time, the shop had the first guest.

The first guest who came in was a middle-aged uncle, wearing a dirty blue-collar worker's overalls and some oil stains on his body. When he came in, he nodded to Chen Xiao and smiled, which was a greeting.

"Welcome." Chen Xiao immediately came out and said, "Please sit down, would you like a drink sir?"

"You are Chen Xiao?" The middle-aged uncle laughed peacefully. He had a beard, dark skin, strong figure and square face. He looked like a mature and steady uncle, but his eyes were very gentle. He thought he was a good-tempered man.

Chen Xiao wondered, "Do you know me?"

"Well, I know Lao Ai hired a new man here." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Oh, I am the owner of the garage at this street junction. Everyone calls me Uncle Tian."

"So it was a neighbor." Chen Xiao laughed politely, but in his heart he felt it was slightly strange: in such a remote place and to start repair shop, is Uncle Tian not a normal person?

[I left "not a normal person" as it is as it is the most polite way I can think of ATM]

Sure enough...

"Every Thursday is an important day. You're a new person. You don't know the situation. I'm afraid you can't cope with it. Come and see if there's anything I can do to help you." Uncle Tian smiled very friendly and looked at Chen Xiao's eyes with some light concern.

"You..." Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment. "Are you also a member of the Service Society?"

"Yes, but now I'm retired." Uncle Tian answered simply, without any intention of concealing it.

Another miracle...

Chen Xiao couldn't help looking at Uncle Tian more, but the other side didn't mind at all and just smiled very friendly.

Chen Xiao made him a cup of tea, and then chatted with him casually. The middle-aged uncle was really good-tempered and talkative, and seemed to have traveled many places, as if he had been to many countries. After a few minutes of chatting between the two, Chen Xiao intentionally or unintentionally wanted to inquire about the service agencies. But the other side changed the topic, and seemed unwilling to say more.

Soon it was seven o'clock in the evening, when the clock struck seven, Uncle Tian's expression was obviously serious. He shut his mouth and became silent - such change moved Chen Xiao's heart.

Ding Dong...

The door of the cafe was pushed open.
