Just like what I said to Fang Yuan, after opening the store, I want Xu Luo to come to "Throb" to work.

She says I'm possessive, but I'm not.

Just like Xu Luo also had a part-time job at Fangyuan before, Xu Luo also brought her more traffic, and this was my idea.

Xu Luo also came to me to work as a coolie, not only in terms of time, but also money.

I believe she can bring me a batch of customers.

It is best to be there at the beginning of the store.

Xu Luo also listened to my words, she didn't agree immediately, but asked something else first: "Then what am I going to do here?"

Her voice was low: "I won't stay in the apartment to study every day. If I stay, I will go out to find a part-time job."

I once told her that she is not allowed to be as tired as before, even if it is a part-time job, there is only one job at most.

At that time, it was because she thought that she would spend more time on me, but now it has a different taste.

I never thought I would open a shop.

Really.

I didn't answer her directly, but asked her again: "Do you know what I've been up to lately?"

"I don't know." I didn't mention anything about the store in front of her.

And our communication is also decreasing day by day. Sometimes I am in the study, but she doesn't come in, doing her own things in the living room.

When I was on vacation, she was busy again in class.

We only lie down and sleep together at night, and at other times, there is no extra contact.

I lowered my head slightly, let the wind fall on my face, and replied: "I'll get off work first, and I'll talk to you later."

After hanging up the phone, I frowned and carefully considered my future plans.

Xu Luo also has a holiday on the 27th, so he can go home that day, and then wait until the day before I open for business.

This arrangement seemed appropriate, allowing her to return home without wasting her resources.

After all, she had nothing to do before opening.

I won't let her participate in things like handing out leaflets.

After get off work, I went back to the apartment, but when I arrived, Xu Luo hadn't come back either.

This surprised me a bit, I thought she was already there.

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal for them to be busy when it's time for the final exam.

After I drank a glass of water, I called her again.

Sure enough, she was at the professor's place, and was stopped by the professor again to help.

I coughed lightly and said, "I'll pick you up."

It has been a long time since I went to the gate of Polytechnic University. When I arrived, I felt a little strange.

I was not familiar with it.

These days, because of the "throbbing" thing, I don't even go to the bar anymore, let alone the Polytechnic University, which is not at all on the way.

The food stalls outside the campus are still lively. It’s summer, and there are more people eating barbecue and drinking beer. I was seduced by the spicy barbecue smell again, but as usual, I didn’t buy anything.

At 10:30, Xu Luo also knocked on my car window, then opened the door and sat down.

This scene made me a little dazed, I don't know if I am getting older, but the scene of me coming to pick her up for the first time appeared in my mind.

I froze for a while.

Xu Luo also fastened her seat belt. She was natural and proficient, with bright deer eyes.

I swallowed, held the steering wheel, and asked her, "Do you have a test tomorrow?"

"want."

I drove the car and looked ahead: "Come on."

There was silence in the car, obviously we have been getting along like this for nearly a month, but at this moment I feel a little uncomfortable.

The car was working smoothly on the road. After a while, I heard Xu Luo also take the initiative to say: "I got a driver's license."

"Okay." I actually know this, because the coach sent me a message saying that my cousin got her driver's license smoothly.

It's just that I didn't say congratulations to her.

After another intersection, Xu Luo also said again: "Mr. Yu, you haven't said what you're busy with yet."

It happened to be a red light ahead, so I stopped the car, turned my head to look at her, smiled, and said, "I opened a shop."

Xu Luo wasn't surprised at all. He said "um" calmly and asked me, "What store?"

I didn't answer, but instead asked, "Aren't you surprised?"

She shook her head: "I don't think so."

"I won't be surprised at anything you do," she said.

I smiled again: "Really?" Then I answered her question, "I opened a dessert shop, and it will open on the [-]th of next month."

I paused: "I want you to stay, that's the reason behind it."

A driver behind me honked the horn. It turned out that the green light had arrived, so I continued driving.

Xu Luo didn't say anything else, she just responded, "Okay."

I licked my lower lip: "When is your holiday on the 27th?"

"Morning."

"Then I'll send a car to take you back in the afternoon, and you can come back on July [-]th, is that okay?"

The response was another "yes", and then no one spoke again.

Arrived at the parking lot, took the elevator, and entered the apartment.

She and I seemed to have our mouths sealed, not a single word came out of it.

This made me a little dazed, not sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

It seems that Xu Luoye and I have become roommates who rent together under the same house, and we are not familiar with each other, and we don't have any contact at all at ordinary times.

Is this the result I want?

It was Xu Luo who kept distance from me before, but a while ago because she gave up on the top ten competition, she immediately changed her position, and it became me who took the initiative to distance herself from her.

Now the distance is indeed widened, but I also began to wonder.

After taking a shower and drying my hair, I lay on the bed, put on the earphones, and listened to the hypnosis audio that Xu Luo also sent me before.

Obviously I have listened to every one of them, but now I feel like I have never heard anything.

After Xu Luo also finished drying her hair, she stretched out the quilt and lay down next to me as usual.

The weather is getting hotter, and I have replaced the thick quilt I had covered in winter with an air-conditioning quilt.

The air conditioner is very thin, covering the body, and it fits the curve better. I glanced at Xu Luoye, and then tightened my throat.

It was really hot.

After 2 minutes, I put the headphones aside and turned off the desk lamp.

The room was completely trapped in darkness.

Xu Luoye was two bodies away from me who were lying flat before me. I turned over and faced Xu Luoye, staring at her who couldn't see anything.

Maybe it's because I know that Xu Luo will go home in more than a week. Tonight, I want to talk to her more.

Although I don't know what to say.

"Xu Luoye." It seems that sometimes I didn't call her name, and when I said it, I still felt a little strange.

Her voice is still like a small stream in the forest, bringing me a cool feeling.

She said, "Yes."

This word seemed to be floating in the air for a long time. After a few seconds, I started to say the next sentence: "Have you ever thought about opening a store?"

"I thought about it."

"Sell what?"

"I used to go to sell fruit with my grandparents."

"They carried the load, and the baskets contained fruits to be sold. At that time, I was thinking, it would be great if our family had a fruit shop."

"I can hire employees without having to work so hard for them."

Xu Luoye's grandparents really hold a lot of weight in her heart.

"Do you think so now?" I blinked and asked involuntarily.

Xu Luo also moved his body, and seemed to turn around too.

I heard the sound of fabric rubbing, and she seemed to be a little closer to me, and the voice was not so far away: "Now I want to open a small supermarket."

"Why?" My question is a bit much.

"I don't know." The answer surprised me, "Just thinking about it."

I said "hmm" and said, "It's good."

I exhaled slowly, and turned my back to her again: "Go to sleep."

Xu Luo also called out to me: "Teacher Yu."

"not tired?"

"I..." She seemed to be struggling, and after saying "I", she didn't say anything.

I couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

It seemed like a long time passed before I heard what Xu Luo wanted to say: "Can I pay you back this month's money?"

In my busy schedule, I didn't forget to transfer money to her.

"why?"

"Because I haven't done anything in the past month."

I closed my eyes and refused: "You don't need to pay me back, and the money is already yours, there is no such thing as 'repaying'."

Before that, she also served as a hypnotist and occasionally a chef, but since I was busy with the "throbbing" thing, she never did anything related to it.

I knew what she was thinking, so I said again: "Anyway, I won't give you more money when you come back to work as a coolie next month."

After finishing speaking, I didn't care what she thought, and said bluntly: "Good night."

When I woke up, Xu Luo had already gone to take the school exam. I rubbed my eyes and got up to wash up.

It was almost noon, and I was about to order takeaway, but I received a call from Xu Luoye: "Don't order takeaway."

I froze for a moment: "Huh?"

Xu Luo also said, "I'm done with the exam and I'm coming back to cook."

She added: "Takeaway sucks."

After I hung up the phone, I still hadn't realized it. After careful recollection, it was true that I hadn't eaten the meal she cooked for quite a while.

And I can understand her behavior, especially after her question last night.

She can't accept the 3 yuan a month for doing nothing.

Except for that time when I got angry and put her to sleep, I basically didn't touch her much the rest of the time.

I am different from the benefactor outside, and she is different from the lover outside.

Hypnotizing me, cooking for me, and sometimes tidying up the house are all for her to make herself feel at ease.

In fact, she doesn't have to do anything, because the nurturing relationship is like this, and giving her money every month is what I have to do.

After more than 20 minutes, Xu Luo came back with some dishes.

I really didn't order takeaway, but I was holding the computer in the living room and asking Xiao Mu and the others about their promotional effect today.

It's not a weekend, the flow of people in front of the store is not good, and they haven't sent many copies all morning.

When Xu Luo also opened the door, I just told Xiao Mu and the others that they could go to the square next door to post and open Weibo.

I looked at the time, there were still about twenty minutes until twelve o'clock, looked at Xu Luoye, and asked, "What's for lunch?"

"One meat, one vegetable, one soup." Without saying a single extra word, she entered the kitchen.

I pouted, what a cold chef.

After talking to Xiao Mu and the others, I put the computer aside, got up and walked to the kitchen door, wanting to see what Xu Luo was doing too.

The cicadas in the community are singing non-stop, summer has really arrived.

Xu Luo was also wearing a white T-shirt, and was cutting the pork in front of him with a kitchen knife.

I frowned slightly: "Can you wear an apron?"

Obviously the apron was hanging on the side.

Xu Luo also stopped the movement in his hands, turned to look at me, and said, "Forgot."

"Now I remind you." The white T-shirt is not stain-resistant at all. If she cuts it like this, it will get dirty no matter how careful she is.

Xu Luo also pursed her lips, her eyes were a little innocent: "My hands are wet and a little oily, so it's not convenient."

I:"……"

I walked in, took the apron hanging on the wall, and walked up to her: "Low your head."

After I finished speaking, I glanced at the kitchen knife she hadn't put down: "Also, can you put the knife down, we have something to talk about."

Xu Luo also obediently put the knife on the chopping board, raised her arm, and asked me to put an apron on her in cooperation.

We were very close, and I felt a little hot, probably because there was no air conditioner in the kitchen, so I walked behind her and tied the rope.

Xu Luo also turned her back to me, and she asked, "Can I tie my hair too?"

Her hair was still loose on the back of her head, and I noticed it just now when she lowered her head slightly to cut the meat.

will affect the line of sight.

I couldn't understand: "Have you not cooked for a long time, why do you have to forget this?"

She did it before.

"It's been a long time since I did it for you."

She was adding some words to the answer again, which made my heart itch.

I gave a low cough, went to the living room to find a hair rope for her, and went back to the kitchen.

I don't tie my hair very much myself, and I've never done it for anyone else. Now I'm standing behind Xu Luoye, and I don't think it's appropriate to do it anyway.

Her hair is soft and black, it was just washed last night, holding it in the palm of her hand like touching a good dress.

After several unsuccessful attempts, I ended up giving her something that didn't look pretty at all - a tangle of hair.

Just mess her hair up randomly and surround her with a headband.

Very ugly, like a badly grown cabbage.

I thought it was funny, and actually laughed out loud.

Xu Luo also turned around, feeling puzzled: "What's wrong?"

I gave a serious evaluation: "It doesn't look good."

She can't see it herself, and she can't touch it.

I went out again to get my phone and took a picture for her to see.

Xu Luo also watched it but was not displeased at all. She raised the corners of her lips with dimples hanging on her face: "It's very beautiful."
