"Jingle jingle—"

The store door was pushed open, and the wind chime hanging at the door made a crisp and pleasant sound.

The waiter sitting behind the counter couldn't help showing such an expression when he saw the person pushing the door, "Mr. Ole, good afternoon, what would you like to order today?"

"It's the same as before." The person who came waved his hand and sat in the innermost seat of the store. He was familiar with it without hesitation, obviously he had been here many times.

This is a young man who looks less than 30 years old, with unshaven beard and messy hair, and deep dark circles under his eyes, he looks extremely decadent.

If you ignore his slovenly appearance and just look at his facial features, he is actually quite a handsome young man.

The waiter quickly brought his drink, it was a red to black cocktail, it tasted spicy and slightly bitter.

Most people who drank this cocktail for the first time couldn't accept such a weird taste for a while, but Ole took a big gulp without changing his face.

The pungent feeling passed from the mouth to the throat and burned to the stomach.

Ole put the wine glass back on the table heavily, and the solid bottom of the glass collided with the table to make a dull sound, just like his mood at this time.

The red liquid in the cup swayed and spilled a little, a few drops of which just splashed on Ole's cuff, and a few dazzling red flowers bloomed on the light-colored fabric in an instant. Ole stared at them for a while, frowning Wrinkled, cursed in a low voice.

"Hold."

Ole has been very unhappy recently, and everything is not going well.

First of all, last month, he was checked out by the association for a flaw in his work. Although the mistake this time was not too serious, the Magic Pet Protection Association has always been a very strict place, so because of this mistake he And was suspended for a full month.

But if this is the case, Ole definitely won't be so annoyed.

The so-called mistake was just a warning given to him by those people because he endangered the interests of someone or some people above.

Warn him not to meddle in his own business, otherwise the next end will not be as simple as suspension.

Thinking of this, Ole couldn't help but took another sip of the cocktail. The boredom and depression in his heart didn't decrease, but he felt even more aggrieved by recalling bad things.

This suspension seemed to be a clarion call. A series of things happened after that, which changed his originally ordinary but comfortable life drastically.

Being suspended because of a work mistake is not something that can be said on the table. Although there is something hidden about this matter, Ole knows that he can't beat the people above him, and he also needs a stable and decent job, so he was suspended He didn't mention this to anyone.

Including his girlfriend.

He has always lived alone, and his girlfriend also has her own job, and the place of work is in another city not too close to Corrick City. The two have been in different places for several years, and their relationship is tepid, but it is still stable. .

But for some reason, his girlfriend suddenly called him a few weeks ago and said in a firm tone that she wanted to break up with him.

This is not a small blow to Ole.

He has been working hard for so many years, and one of the reasons to support him is to stabilize his life as soon as possible, save enough savings to buy a house, so that his girlfriend can have further relationship changes with him willingly.

Unexpectedly, before the goal was achieved, the girlfriend proposed to break up.

If you break up, break up. They have been in different places for so long, and they don't see each other several times a year when they are busy. The relationship may have faded long ago, but he has never noticed it.

But the breakup happened not long after he was suspended, and the two things came together, which really made Ole decadent for a long time.

After he finally felt better and was able to look at the breakup a little more calmly, the long-haired cat he had raised for three years suddenly fell ill, and it was very sick.

Oulai took his beloved pet to several hospitals, but he couldn't find the cause, as if the disease appeared out of thin air.

Seeing that the pet was getting more and more sluggish day by day, but Ou Lai couldn't do anything, his mood finally got better, and suddenly sank to the bottom again.

As a member of the Magic Pet Protection Association, if it was in the past, Olle would definitely ask for help from the association as soon as possible.

There are many magic pet experts in the association, and they must have more experience than him. When encountering such a thing, they must know what to do to keep his pet as much as possible.

But after experiencing the suspension, he saw clearly the faces of some people in the association.

Although Ole knew very well that there were only a small number of such people, Ole still subconsciously ruled out the option of asking for help.

Now the beloved pet is still in the hospital, unable to eat every day, and can only rely on injections to inject some nutrient solution to hang his life, how can Ole not be in a hurry.

Suspension, breakup, pet fell ill...

All these things happened in one month, one after another, leaving no time for Ole to breathe.

Thinking of this, Ole picked up the wine glass and swallowed all the red to black liquid in the glass in one go.

After putting down the wine glass, Ole let out a long breath, raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, wiping away the wetness from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

The wind chimes behind him rang again, and Olei got up and walked to the counter. When he finished paying and was about to leave, he happened to have a face-to-face meeting with several people who entered the store.

Those were three young men with good looks. No, one of them said they were teenagers, which should be more accurate.

Even though Oulai is in a very bad mood now, he couldn't help but look at the three strangers.

And the blond boy, who seemed to be the youngest among the three, seemed to feel his gaze, and turned his head to look at him as well, with a soft and harmless luster in his green eyes.

Then the boy was stopped by his silver-haired companion, "Xia, what do you want to drink?"

Ou Lai laughed at himself, these three young men with striking looks had extraordinary auras, they were not ordinary people at first glance, and they were not something that people at the bottom of society like him could climb up to.

He still had to go back to pack his things, and went to the magic pet hospital to accompany his sick pet at night, so he didn't stay in the store anymore, and left in a hurry.

Because of this, he didn't notice that the blond boy behind him glanced at him again, and quickly looked away as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Shia gently tugged on Haines' sleeve: "Haines, is that Ole?"

Haines nodded slightly, apparently also noticing the figure who left in a hurry, "It should be him."

"He doesn't look... well," Shia whispered.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be too comfortable." Nolan touched Xi Ya's head, and Haines gave him a dark look. He shrugged, looked back innocently, and let go of himself. arm.

The waiter behind the counter vaguely heard them mention Ole, and asked curiously, "Do you know Ole?"

Calling Ole by name, the waiter seems to know Ole, and it seems that Ole often comes to this store.

Haines hummed lightly as a response, "I know him, but not very well."

"Just a colleague," Nolan added.

"So, you are also members of the Magic Pet Protection Association?" The waiter exclaimed, "Does the association only accept people based on their appearance? Why do you look better than the other?"

Haines smiled and said nothing.

The waiter just teased her, and then she put away her smile, looking worried: "How is Ole in the association recently?"

Shia looked at her in surprise.

Isn't Ole already suspended?This person knew Ou Lai, but why would he ask him about work?

Haines raised his hand cryptically, motioning for Shia not to speak.

"It's okay." Haines said, "but he doesn't seem to be in a good spirit recently."

"No way, he has encountered a lot of things recently." The waiter sighed, "He is a regular customer of ours, and he and I are also friends. When he comes to drink, he will occasionally mention to me, He broke up with his girlfriend, and the long-haired cat who had raised him for three years also fell ill recently."

"He runs to the magic pet hospital every day these days, and his mental state is getting worse every day. I am quite worried about him." The waiter said, "You are Ole's colleagues. When you are working, if it is convenient, I hope you can help me during this time." Help him out more."

"It's not easy for him these days." She pursed her lips, and the worry in her eyes couldn't be ignored, "This is our store's membership card, and it's a benefit for our colleagues. Single free."

Haines didn't refuse, and took the membership card.

If it is confirmed that Ole has nothing to do with the filth, then tell Nora about Ole's situation at that time, maybe it can help Ole get a little more vacation, and it can be regarded as a help for him.

The three of Xia found a seat by the window and sat down.

"Did Ole just plan to go home?" Xi Ya was a little uncertain, "Sister Nora should have arrived at Ole's house soon, right?"

The terminals of several people rang at the same time, it was the message sent by Nora in the group.

Nora: 【I'm here, there's no one at home. 】

Shia: [We just met him in the drink shop, he just left, maybe he went home. 】

Haines: [Not sure, wait a little longer, if he doesn't come home, we'll find another time. 】

Nora: [This is the point, where else can he go? 】

Nolan: [Magic pet hospital, I just found out that his magic pet is sick. 】

Nora: 【Okay, it only takes 10 minutes from the beverage store to his house. I'll wait for half an hour. If he doesn't come back, we'll come back at another time. 】

The three put down the terminals, just as the waiter came and put the three drinks they ordered in front of each other.

Shia ordered a drink called 'Elf's Dream'. The transparent glass was filled with a bright green liquid. The bright green color gradually changed from light to dark from top to bottom, and it was decorated with mint leaves and twigs. It became a young sapling, very beautiful.

Shia took a small sip, and then choked on the pungent taste unsuspectingly.

"What's wrong?" Haynes asked concerned.

"It's so spicy." Xi Ya coughed and her face flushed, "It's like wine."

Haines frowned, took the cup of Fairy's Dream from Xi Ya to his side, then got up and walked to the counter, and when he came back, there was an extra cup of milky white liquid in his hand.

"Here, sweet milk." Haines said, "Their drinks basically contain alcohol."

No wonder there will be a section for minors on the menu, so it is.

Xia Ya nodded suddenly, took the warm sweet milk, but his eyes secretly drifted to the beautifully colored cup of Fairy Dream.

He actually wanted to try it.
