wilderness

The two drank the porridge in a few sips without moving the fritters, and then walked outside.

Peng Yan said: "My car is parked in the parking lot over there, the station is not allowed to park here, let's walk over."

Gu Beiqiao nodded and followed beside him.

Peng Yan saw that he was holding the strap of the backpack with both hands while walking, with his head slightly lowered, and there were a few locks of dull hair on the top of his head. Although the heights of the two were not much different, Gu Beiqiao obviously looked like a student, so he asked him: " Xiaoqiao, are you eighteen?"

"Seventeen."

"Oh, you are really young and tender, so why do you have to go to City Y?"

"It's more convenient to enter Tibet from City Y."

"Wow, you still want to go to Tibet!" Peng Yan said curiously: "Young man is very courageous, aren't you afraid of being alone?"

Gu Beiqiao wondered: "What are you afraid of?" In the past, others were afraid of him and wished to stay away from him. What is there to be afraid of?

"Bad guys, there are so many bad guys in this world now! Some time ago, someone was killed by the driver because he was halfway in a black car, and many others were robbed. People like you are more dangerous!"

"Ah? Why?" Gu Beiqiao turned to look at him puzzled.

Peng Yan lowered his voice and said: "You will be robbed of your money if you are so light, and you will be dragged into a small dark room if it is serious!" He suddenly laughed when he thought of something.

Gu Beiqiao looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face, "What are you doing in the dark room?"

Peng Yan coughed a few times and suppressed his smile, "It's nothing, let's drag him into the small black room and continue the robbery!"

Gu Beiqiao nodded, expressing his understanding, "I will be careful."

Seeing his cute appearance, Peng Yan jokingly asked, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, "No..."

"Why don't you hand in one? You can try dating at your age..."

Gu Beiqiao's ears turned red slightly, but he still shook his head.

Peng Yan smiled and said, "Then there must be a lot of people chasing you! How about it? Do you like it?

"Do you like pretty people or do you have a good temper? Let me tell you that people shouldn't be so superficial and only look at the surface. Some people are just superficial, but they are really fierce on the inside. It's better to stay away from people like this..."

"Hey, why don't you talk anymore? Isn't it because you are shy?"

No matter what Peng Yan asked, Gu Beiqiao just shook his head and didn't respond.

In the end, Peng Yan had to give up the topic.

While talking, the two walked to the parking lot. Gu Beiqiao didn't know the model name of the car. He only thought that Peng Yan's car was much better looking than Zhao Yang's Wuling Hongguang, and it was even more comfortable than Uncle Chen's off-road vehicle.

He sat in the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and asked Peng Yan, "Brother Peng, what do you do?"

Peng Yan pursed her lips, "Waiting for work, squatting at home, unemployed."

Gu Beiqiao didn't really believe it, but seeing that he didn't want to say anything, he turned his head and looked out the window.

City C is worthy of being the capital city of a province. Compared to Gu Beiqiao's home and City S, it is simply much more prosperous.

After waiting for more than a dozen red lights along the way, when Gu Beiqiao was falling asleep, the car finally stopped near an intersection.

Peng Yan parked the car on the side of the road, then led him to the door of a milk tea shop, pointed to the sign, "Go in and ask, I'll wait for you at the door."

Gu Beiqiao didn't know why he didn't go in with him, but he nodded and walked in by himself.

This shop is called a milk tea shop, but it is actually more like a coffee shop or a book bar. The space inside is not small, with a dozen tables, sofas and chairs, and a few bookshelves full of books. One entire wall is covered with glass, so the store is well lit, even if the lights are not turned on.The overall decoration is cute, the wallpaper is pink, the floor is geometric tiles, white decorative branches are placed beside the seats, and antlers are hung on the wall, which makes people feel retro and simple at first glance.

Since it was still early, there were no customers in the store, only a very beautiful female clerk was talking on the phone behind the bar.

"Oh, okay, um, don't worry, I understand."

Gu Beiqiao waited for the clerk to hang up the phone before walking up, and asked with some embarrassment: "Excuse me...do you still recruit people in your store?"

The clerk said politely with a smile: "Hi, we need a shift changer. I'm in charge of the store's business from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am. Since it's busy at noon, I can't do it alone. I need you to come from ten to two o'clock. Come over at two o'clock and work until six o'clock in the afternoon, when the evening shift will replace you, is that okay?"

Gu Beiqiao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

The clerk smiled at him generously, "Since you only have to work half a day every day, the salary is not that high, but it is relatively good, two thousand eight a month, do you have any other conditions?"

Gu Beiqiao was a little moved, "Then... do I need an ID card to work here? Also, maybe I won't stay long..."

The clerk smiled and said, "No, just do as long as you can."

Gu Beiqiao asked, "Then when can I come to work?"

The clerk said: "I want to teach you how to make milk tea first. It's actually very simple. You can come and learn every afternoon when you have time. First, I will teach you for a week. Here it is, of course this week’s wages are also paid as usual.”

Gu Beiqiao couldn't believe it was so easy to find a job, the corners of his mouth were happy, he thanked the clerk, and said, "Then I'll come over this afternoon." Turning around, he was about to go out to tell Peng Yan the good news.

The clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't know your name yet?"

Gu Beiqiao hurriedly stopped and smiled at her: "My name is Gu Beiqiao."

The clerk nodded, took a new paper cup from behind the bar, added some ingredients, and said to Gu Beiqiao while he was busy, "My name is Xu Xin. From now on, you can call me Sister Xin."

"Sister Xin." Gu Beiqiao called obediently.

Sister Xin mixed the drink in her hand, covered the paper cup, inserted a straw into it, and handed it to Gu Beiqiao, "Our store's new strawberry ice cream, try it, I'll treat you to drink for our boss."

Gu Beiqiao said thank you again, took the drink and said goodbye to Sister Xin.

Walking out of the milk tea shop, I saw Peng Yan leaning against the car and watching with his mobile phone, sliding his finger on the screen from time to time, his brows were tightly frowned, and his face was full of impatience.

Gu Beiqiao walked over and called softly, "Brother Peng, I can work in the milk tea shop now."

Peng Yan hurriedly put away the phone, raised her head and said with a smile: "That's just right, I'll take you to my place to have a look first."

Gu Beiqiao hesitated and said, "Will it trouble you too much?"

Peng Yan opened the car door for him and said: "It's not troublesome at all! Maybe I have to thank you!"

Gu Beiqiao asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Peng Yan said with a sad face: "I'll tell you when I go back."

Gu Beiqiao got into the car and gave Peng Yan the drink he was holding in his hand, "The sister in the store gave it to me, you can drink it."

Peng Yan glanced at the label, "Isn't strawberry ice cream a new product? Drink it."

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, "I don't like drinking this."

Peng Yan took it, took a sip from the straw, "Yeah! It's delicious!" Under Gu Beiqiao's stunned expression, he sucked up the drink in one breath, and threw the paper cup into the trash can far away through the car window Here, the car started.

"What's the matter? You can drink without getting drunk, the traffic police don't care about that." Peng Yan glanced at him.

Gu Beiqiao shook his head, "I won't get drunk, but I will get fat."

Peng Yan snorted softly, "Brother's figure is directly proportional to his appearance, and they are all perfect, so don't worry!"

The milk tea shop is actually not too close to Peng Yan's house. It took about ten minutes to drive to the downstairs of the community. Peng Yan explained: "There are a few small roads that are relatively close, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. I will show you the way in the afternoon. .But you can’t drive in, you can only take the main road, which is a bit of a detour.”

Gu Beiqiao waited for him to park the car in the garage, followed him to the elevator, and when it stopped on the seventh floor, Peng Yan pulled him out.

Peng Yan's house has two bedrooms and one living room. As soon as he entered the door, he found that his living room was much larger than ordinary people's. Peng Yan said that this house was originally a three-bedroom and one living room structure. Later, he opened the wall of the other bedroom. Yes, it changed to what it is now.

"A person can't live in so many bedrooms. It's better to have a bigger living room. I can sleep in one and keep another one as a guest room."

Peng Yan took Gu Beiqiao to the guest room to have a look. The decoration is quite simple, with green wallpaper, solid wood floor, a two-meter bed, two bedside tables of the same color and a wardrobe with double doors.

Peng Yan went to the cabinet and took out a set of bedding, "Old Zhang's set will be replaced later, this set is clean."

Gu Beiqiao watched him shake the quilt in his hands, went up to help, and the two changed the sheets together.

"Okay! I'll take it to wash. Would you like to take a rest after a night's car ride?" Peng Yan hugged the dirty sheet and looked at Gu Beiqiao who was standing by the cabinet.

Gu Beiqiao hurriedly picked up the sheets, "I'll wash them."

Peng Yan smiled and said: "No, just roll it in the automatic washing machine and take it out to dry in a while. You can take a rest, do you want something to drink? If you don't like drinks, there is still Wangzai milk in the refrigerator. "

Gu Beiqiao put down his schoolbag, "I'm not thirsty yet, then I'll sleep for a while, thank you Brother Peng."

Peng Yan said: "It's okay, you go to sleep, I will wake you up at noon."

Gu Beiqiao saw that he turned and went out and closed the door, so he put his schoolbag in the closet, yawned and lay down on the bed.

Tired, yet sober.

You are so lucky, Gu Beiqiao.he said to himself.

He lay down in a daze, a drowsy dream for a while, and the cicadas chirping outside the window for a while. He didn't open his eyes until Peng Yan knocked on the door and called him for lunch. He didn't realize that he was sleeping. did not fall asleep.

Peng Yan ordered takeaway, and when he put a few dishes on the table, he said shyly, "We won't go downstairs to eat when it's very hot at noon, and I'll take you to eat delicious food when you get off work in the evening."

Gu Beiqiao broke off the disposable chopsticks, and the two quickly settled the lunch.

Peng Yan patted his stomach lazily lying on the sofa, looked at Gu Beiqiao for a while and suddenly took out his mobile phone, "Xiaoqiao, come and take a photo with me."

Gu Beiqiao wondered, "What are you doing taking pictures?"

"Well... just to keep a memory!" Peng Yan looked at the ceiling with a guilty conscience, "It's just a photo of buddies hooking shoulders and backs."

Gu Beiqiao didn't think much about it, "Okay..." He went to the sofa and sat down, and Peng Yan grabbed his neck.

Seeing that Gu Beiqiao wanted to increase the distance between the two of them, Peng Yan was dissatisfied and said, "Closer!" So he got closer and adjusted the angle of the phone so that he could take a diagonal photo of the balcony.

Peng Yan pressed the shutter and looked at it carefully for a while. From the selfie screen, the faces of the two were almost stuck together, which seemed very intimate.

"Very good!" Peng Yan smiled strangely for a while, and asked Gu Beiqiao, "Can I post it to Moments?"

Gu Beiqiao glanced at him blankly, but still nodded.

While muttering to himself, Peng Yan clicked and swiped on the phone, not knowing what he was doing.

The author has something to say: When I named Peng Yan, I thought it was a catchy name, but I thought of Peng Yuyan later. . .

Please don't think of Peng Yuyan's handsome face, our PY is just a coquettish boy. . .He's not a bad guy, don't worry!
