The floating world sinks slightly

(two)

In the second week, the same time, the same cafe, the same location, the same slow music, the same cup of coffee and orange juice.

Lian Xia Youqing was still wearing a disposable mask of the same color, and he reached out to the boy, "It's done, give me something."

The boy put down the straw he was stirring, shrugged, and handed him the thing on his lap nonchalantly.

Xia Youqing took the file bag, and just about to open it, the boy held down his hand, "Every line has its own rules, and I can't inspect the goods now. Go back and look at it. If you are satisfied, I will pay the final payment. I'm not in a hurry .”

Xia Youqing sighed heavily, put down the file bag in his hand, took a sip of coffee, looked at the boy calmly, "Then, where is the original document."

The boy pouted, reluctantly took out a USB flash drive from his pants pocket, and put it on the table, "It's all here, there is no backup, don't worry, even if we don't give you the original, we won't It was rumored. After all, you also know that we will continue in this business, and it is impossible to ruin our reputation for many years because of your business."

Xia Youqing didn't answer, took the USB flash drive with no expression on his face, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it.

Then, one of the two quietly lowered their heads to drink coffee, while the other couldn't stop looking around, so there was a silence between the two of them for a while.

The boy soon had enough of watching, and focused his eyes on Xia Youqing, "Oh, I said, why are you people here so unattractive, I'm not interested at all." He paused for a moment, and then Frowning, squinting at Xia Youqing, with an indescribable smile on his face, "However, you are not bad looking, why don't we go out now, find a place where there are no people, and have a good time?"

Xia Youqing took a sip of coffee, and refused without thinking, "I'm not interested in people who look like me."

"Boss, don't be like this. If you refuse him directly without even thinking about it, he will be upset, and—" The boy acted coquettishly, then lowered his head, and moved his face closer to Xia Youqing , lowered his voice, as if he was about to say something shameful, "Boss, you have to know, this is the first time I have taken business from a woman, and I will secretly tell you a secret. For women, especially those who you want me to do Such an old and ugly woman, I can't get up at all."

His eyeballs rolled softly in his eye sockets, and he moved his hands restlessly towards Xia Youqing's face, "If I didn't think you really fit my eyes, boss, how could I possibly take your business? I know, taking that kind of medicine is very harmful to the body. Don't you give me some compensation?"

"When are you going back?" Xia Youqing directly interrupted the charming atmosphere with a blank face, "Have you bought the ticket yet?"

The boy rolled his eyes, sat upright awkwardly, and pouted his lips, "What's the matter, I came all the way from Jiangdu, and I want to keep it for two more days, but I can't do it."

"Don't make a fuss in front of me. I don't like your tricks. I'm just afraid of having long nights and dreams. If you are seen by someone who shouldn't see you, then our business has failed, and who will be the last one." Xia Youqing began to stir the coffee in the cup again.

"Okay, okay, you guys have a lot of work. I'll leave tomorrow, that's fine." The boy was probably a little angry, and he pushed the glass full of orange juice forward, and put his legs on the chair , with arms folded.

Xia Youqing hummed, added a bag of sugar to her cup, and said unconsciously, "What's your name and how old are you?"

"Why did I tell you?" The boy replied childishly, but was discouraged when he heard Xia Youqing's low-pitched smile the next second, and he replied sleepily, "My name is Ai Xin, ten Nine."

"I won't go to school when I was nineteen, so I came out to do this. Why?" The tone was completely like an elder asking a junior.

The boy's anger rose instantly, he patted the table, his beautiful eyes widened, but his voice was still deliberately lowered, and he gritted his teeth, "I want you to take care of it, I said you should be teachers Do you like meddling in other people's business so much? If you don't do it with me, it's fine, there's so much nonsense, I want to know, right? Okay, let me tell you, I've been in this business for seven years, you guys who have never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood How do people know the pain of us who have no father and no mother. We can’t eat enough, have no clothes to wear, and still go to school and study? There’s no use for it. What do you think is good for a nerd like you, full of benevolence and morality, In fact, he is not a pauper. Pooh, you come to our place to take a look. Most of them are people who can’t read a single word but drive BMWs and Mercedes-Benz to talk about business. They also read, don’t be funny, only money is a good thing, Everything else is bastard."

"Really?" Xia Youqing put down the phone that he had been fiddling with for a long time, "I have already transferred the final payment to you, please take a look."

With just this sentence, the boy's bulging anger that he didn't know where it came from was released at once. He slumped on the table, "You don't even inspect the goods?"

"No need, I believe you." Xia Youqing waved to the waiter, "Have another latte, give me a few more packets of sugar, and pay the bill now."

Xia Youqing pushed the new latte in front of the boy, "Xiao Aixin, enjoy it slowly. If you can, I still hope that you can go back to school and stop doing this job."

After speaking, he put on the mask, waved the file bag in his hand twice at him, and left.

The boy wrinkled his nose, put all the sugar packets into the coffee, imitated Xia Youqing just now, stirred it, and took a sip from it, no, there's so much sugar, it's still terribly bitter.

He turned his head and took another sip of orange juice, yes.It's still sweet and delicious.

So he sat there, enjoying the sunset at [-] o'clock in the afternoon and the slow rocking music playing in the coffee shop, and drank the glass of freshly squeezed orange juice with ice little by little.
