nine year itch

Youqing got off the bus and went straight to Lao Ji's coffee shop.Lao Ji knew that he was coming, so he specially came to the store today to greet him.

"Youqing, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Lao Ji was an elegant and mature man in his forties with a mustache.

"Hello, Boss Ji, it's been okay recently." In fact, Youqing had a hard time recently, but he still smiled back.

"You're welcome, just call me Lao Ji. You have seen the environment before, so I won't show you around one by one, just go to work directly." Lao Ji also said with a smile.

Obviously, Lao Ji still has a good impression of Youqing, who is handsome and elegant, and he has a relationship with Meng Chuan, so he treats him more kindly.

Youqing went to the locker room to put on a dark apron, and then washed her hands carefully before going to work.

The one who worked with Youqing was also a young man with a good appearance.After all, coffee is a service industry, and good-looking appearance is also an important indicator for selecting shop assistants.

"Hi, my name is Youqing." Youqing nodded politely.

"Brother Yu, I heard Lao Ji talking about you, so you can call me Xiao Zhao." Xiao Zhao looked at the older brother in front of him, and smiled with his eyes bent.

Xiao Zhao knew that Youqing had some nepotism with Boss Ji, so he was afraid of offending him before.But looking at him now, there is no social atmosphere in him at all, and he is completely pure and kind, with a little less alienation and a little more affection.

"Xiao Zhao, you can just call me Youqing, you don't have to be so polite."

"Haha, okay, Brother Youqing."

Before six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ze called.

"Youqing, I'll pick you up later." Gu Ze said expectantly.Obviously, he could think of it with his feet, and Gu Ze let someone find out his details.

"Gu Ze, can you stop being so self-assertive and investigate my privacy casually." There was a touch of displeasure in Youqing's tone.

After hearing this, Gu Ze felt aggrieved and said, "I just don't want you to take the bus during peak hours, why do you say that about me? I also have good intentions."

Hearing Gu Ze's aggrieved voice, Youqing's heart softened, "Then come back after seven o'clock."

Then Youqing hung up the phone directly.The office workers in the vicinity got off work one after another, and the business of the coffee shop became more and more busy.

Gu Ze frowned and said nothing when he heard the busy voice from the other end.

He turned around and returned to the meeting room from the corridor, and said to the executives who were waiting respectfully at the table: "The meeting continues, let's talk about the next few PPTs. But be concise, and all must be finished within an hour."

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, Gu Ze left the meeting on time and came to the underground garage, and drove to the coffee shop.

As soon as Gu Ze got out of the car, he saw Youqing busy in the coffee shop.Youqing was wearing a snow-white shirt, with the rolled up sleeves revealing her white forearms, and a few strands of hair scattered around her small and exquisite ears.

Youqing was facing several guests, asking with a gentle smile whether the sweetness of the coffee was appropriate.The long eyelashes hung on the deer-like nimble eyes, which seemed to contain spring water, and the rosy lips also slid out a beautiful arc, which looked breathtaking.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ze's breath became stagnant.Why is Youqing so beautiful and moving.And now this beauty only speaks sarcasticly to herself, but she doesn't hesitate to smile at other ordinary people.

Gu Ze couldn't help but start to regret that he encouraged Youqing to learn about coffee and told him to be a barista.He was originally a shy and introverted person, but now he is cheerful and outgoing.

Now the person who can only be monopolized by himself, let the whole world see his beauty and show his beauty.The beauty who has been hiding in the golden house has become a public beauty who shows her face outside every day.

Xiao Zhao was the first to see Gu Ze who entered the store, smiled and handed over the menu and asked, "Sir, what do you want to drink? This is our menu."

Gu Ze looked at the tall, young and handsome guy in front of him, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.The coffee shop where Youqing is located is full of men, handsome and young.

"Who are you?" Gu Ze asked with some vigilance, as if his prey had been sniffed by other wild beasts.

Xiao Zhao didn't feel the hostility in the eyes of the tall, handsome, and expensively dressed mature man in front of him at all. He laughed and said, "I'm the waiter here."

Youqing was receiving guests just now, so she didn't have time to talk to Gu Ze, but she listened to the conversation between the two of them verbatim.

When he turned around and saw Gu Ze exuding a hostile and provocative expression towards Xiao Zhao, he couldn't help but get a headache.

Youqing hurried over and pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Go and sit there for a while, and leave at 07:30."

Gu Ze was dragged to sit on the bar counter with a face of reluctance. He still stared at Xiao Zhao with a dark face. After watching Xiao Zhao, he looked at You Qing again, for fear of any ambiguous interaction between the two of them.

At this time, Lao Ji also came out of the manager's room to look at the unexpected guest.

After observing for a long time, Gu Ze came to the conclusion that Xiao Zhao seemed to be an ordinary clerk, a hairy young man who only got along with Youqing friendly and had no other thoughts, so he was relieved.

And Xiao Zhao looked at the man in exquisite suit and leather shoes, and couldn't help asking Youqing in a low voice, "Is that person your friend?"

Youqing said lightly: "No."

Seeing that it was almost 07:30, Gu Ze was already impatiently waiting.

The way Youqing smiles at others is sweet, a cup of coffee costs more than 30 yuan, and it’s not in his pocket, he’s just a part-time worker, why does he smile like that?

groveling.Gu Ze cursed secretly in his heart.

Seeing Gu Ze staring straight at her, Youqing felt a little nervous and felt restless standing up.As soon as 07:30, he handed over the work to the clerk who came to change shifts, and then led Gu Ze away.

Xiao Zhao was puzzled when he saw the background of the two leaving and the red sports car that Gu Ze was driving.Who is this driver who came to pick Youqing up? He is tall and handsome, and he drives an expensive sports car. The watch on his wrist alone is the price of half a house.

Could it be that this Youqing is also a rich man?But judging by his plain attire, he doesn't look like a rich man.Xiao Zhao was thinking hard, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

Although this Youqing looks like a man, his facial features are beautiful and his personality is soft and peaceful.Then look at that tall and handsome Mr. Driver, who exudes a pure masculine sense of arrogance and power. His whole body looks like a leading role in the society.The two of them are one tall and one short, one strong and one soft, and standing with this Youqing, there is no sense of disobedience.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help speculating that the owner of this cool sports car would not have bought/raised Youqing.Xiao Zhao was also taken aback by his bold speculation.

Among the women Xiao Zhao knew, there were also a few who were taken care of by rich bosses outside. Without exception, they were all women with heavy makeup, pungent perfume, gold and silver jewelry and brand-name bags, and usually looked at people with their nostrils up. They were vain and materialistic women.

But looking at Youqing's appearance, it seems that he has nothing to do with the image of those people.Although it doesn't look like much in his clothes, the broken cell phone he is using now is still a button cell phone.You must know that his father has now let the button phone withdraw from the stage of history, and switched to a touch screen phone.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Zhao couldn't help feeling that his idea just now was a bit ridiculous.I must be so deeply poisoned by the unhealthy winds of society that even a beautiful man can think of the level of nurturing.The two are probably related.

On the other hand, Lao Ji, who was well-informed, looked at the backs of the two leaving meaningfully.He knew Meng Chuan's sexual orientation, and he could probably guess the relationship between Meng Chuan and this Youqing.

He didn't know what happened between Meng Chuan and Youqing.But seeing the strange man just now, relying on Lao Ji's social experience, he can also infer one or two things.

The man who was sitting in the coffee shop just now, although young, looked like a ruthless character in society.For a man of Lao Ji's age, one can easily judge the strong love and possessiveness towards Youqing in his deep eyes.

It seems that Meng Chuan, You Qing, and this strange man, the delicate relationship between these three people, the balance finally tilted towards the stronger and more ferocious beast in the jungle.

Gu Ze sat in the driver's seat, and Youqing sat in the co-pilot.Gu Ze drove all the way to the apartment.

Along the way, Gu Ze still inquired about the coffee shop with some uneasiness, "Where did your boss come from, and the one who was with you, how did he get in?" Gu Ze asked distrustfully.

"Lao Ji's shop has been open for a long time. The one I'm with is just an ordinary waiter." Youqing felt a little harsh when he heard his words.

"Then have you signed the labor contract? Are the wages and benefits written in black and white?"

"Well, it's all signed." Youqing obviously still trusts Meng Chuan's old friend.

After hearing this, Gu Ze was noncommittal, thinking of going back to check the specific situation and information of this store, lest Youqing, a simple-minded guy, be deceived.

The car arrived at the apartment quickly.Seeing that it was getting late and Youqing had been busy all day, Gu Ze suggested to him, "Let's go to the mall to eat something, and go home after eating?"

Lao Ji's coffee shop is doing very well, but now there is a shortage of staff in the shop.There are several waiters, but there are only two people who make coffee, and they use one at a time.Youqing was too lazy to go home and cook, so she nodded and agreed.

It was almost June now, the weather was getting warmer, and neither of them wanted to eat hot food, so they ordered gimbap and sashimi sushi at a sushi chain restaurant.

"This sushi tastes too unauthentic." Gu Ze frowned and ate a piece.

Youqing was eating the kimbap he ordered with relish, and Gu Ze saw him like that, so he went to pick up the kimbap on his plate.
