May you be happy and prosperous

When Lu Twelve was shopping for New Year’s goods in the afternoon, he took the time to express to JAY about the next New Year’s Eve dinner. Surprisingly, the latter not only didn’t trouble him with his ever-changing situation, but even showed a relieved expression: " That's fine, this morning I just focused my energy on thinking about how to avoid the New Year's Eve dinner and prevent my mother from crying to the point of collapse..."

"...That's really hard for you, good teammate." Lu Twelve twitched the corners of his lips, and put a box of chocolate-flavored snacks into the shopping cart. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He glanced at the box of snacks, and under JAY's gaze, he took out the box of snacks in a very natural way, and put them back on the shelf in an orderly manner.

JAY: "...what are you doing?"

Lu Twelve: "Oh, I don't want this."

JAY: "Why, you can't afford it?"

Lu Twelve: "Because the person who loves to eat is gone."

JAY: "..."

This heart-wrenching joke can be produced within minutes of making a new year's goods, JAY said that he was a little defenseless.

He was embarrassed for a while, but when he mustered up the courage to turn his head to look at Lu Twelve, he found that the black-haired young man had a natural look and didn't see any adverse reactions. After hesitating again and again, JAY looked down. The black-haired young man who studied some imported fruit hard candy seriously said, "I've been embarrassed to ask, but you don't seem to be particularly serious, so I decided to satisfy my curiosity—you What's going on with Brother Cai?"

"On the news network, there is a romantic drama in which the highest imperial power in Wattland is looking for his fiancée after 500 years. What else do you want to ask? Have you seen any romantic drama that can be broadcast on the entire channel at [-]:[-]?" Is it?" Lu Twelve said, putting the bag of expensive fruit candies into the shopping cart, "Since you asked such a substandard question, I decided that you will pay for the whole cart. .”

JAY expressed that to satisfy his curiosity, what is it to spend some money on? If you are rich, you will be self-willed. He shrugged and said, "...I will buy it if I buy it."

As soon as the words were finished, Lu Twelve immediately bent over and grabbed a few large bags of that extremely expensive fruit candy and stuffed them into the shopping cart.

JAY: "...You really can't suffer a little bit."

Lu Twelve: "Of course."

JAY: "But you suffered a lot from Brother Cai."

"It's only after I've known you for so long that I realize that you're quite annoying, teammate!" Pushing the shopping cart forward, the black-haired young man picked and picked on the shelves—after confirming that he had a checkout person, he The conditions became less fussy, and he stuffed the ones that were a little pleasing to the eye into the shopping cart. He said in a very relaxed tone, "Where did I suffer? Nothing you imagined happened. I spent 1000 A lot of gold coins bought him back and made him bigger, but he is still my Eudemons, what's the problem?"

"I heard that you broke up. You don't even complain—Brother Cai has been a good man for so long, and most people can't find fault with him. I've been looking forward to hearing your complaints for a long time."

"I like not to wear underwear when I go to bed at night, so it hurts if that thing insists on sticking to my butt?"

"...Be serious, Lu Twelve!"

"It's not normal for lovers to break up because they don't get along in some aspects?" Lu Twelve turned his head and gave JAY a strange look, "Why do you have to make mistakes? Complain It's even more inappropriate - isn't it tantamount to burying one's previous vision by making the other party worse? Brother Cai is very good, we only separated because we need to separate, and we can be partners if we can't be lovers, it's as simple as that ——I'm also very happy that he found Chaoyun, after all, it hurts to see my phantom beast look sick every day."

"You really have a holy light shining all over the earth!" JAY said with a toothache on his face, "I have never seen any professional who needs to squat in front of the TV to study the health status of his own Eudemons through the lens of reporters. "

Lu Twelve threw a canned fruit into the shopping cart with a bang, and when he turned his head, the smile finally disappeared on his face, and his face was darker than the bottom of the pot: "Aren't you annoying!"

"The advantage of me is that I am more honest," JAY pointed at Lu Twelve's face and said, "Look at you, I really care about it, pretending to be calm—hasn't Brother Cai approached you recently? Shaking my head, I saw the text message he sent you, when he saw you and Wu Yu together, it was like kicking the whole world's jealousy jar..."

Lu Twelve's heart skipped a beat, and he was silent for three seconds, then blinked and looked at his teammates: "Jealous? Yes?"

"...Do you know how disgusting you are laughing now?" JAY waved his hands in disgust, "I can't stand it anymore, why did you break up!"

Lu Twelve thought about it, and finally shook his head.

For some reason or another, it seems that the breakup is justifiable, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that all of them are untenable-and this question may not be answered in Shakya, because the person who proposed the breakup It was Lu Twelve himself, and Sha Gaya just kept doing what he asked.

So, he himself didn't know why they broke up.

How could Shakya know.

Ah, but when you think about it, lovers are probably most afraid of this kind of ordinary and natural separation when they break up. Compared with breaking up because of some huge conflict and fierce quarrel, the former seems to be more difficult to reconcile... Lu Shi Er frowned slightly, scratched his head, sighed and decided not to dwell on this problem any longer, and continued to focus on the dazzlingly crowded shelves that were approaching the Chinese New Year.

After about an hour of shopping, Lu Twelve and JAY pushed a cart full of New Year’s goods to the cash register to check out. When they passed by the home appliance sales area, they happened to be on the big screen TV screens sold in the supermarket. This morning's news is being rebroadcasted—the content of the news seems to say that after Shakya admitted that Chao Yun was his weapon, Chao Yun received several attacks from lawbreakers, including Byron's awakening Eudemons, that group of people were probably scared, and wanted to seize Sha Gaya's weapon before he could do anything, and there were several attacks from the warriors... Although they were not from the Wonderland team, they seemed to be very A powerful martial artist, Zhao Yun was injured, but every time he was rescued by Sha Gaya in an emergency.

When Lu Twelve heard Sha Jaya's name, he casually turned his head and glanced at it. Coincidentally, at this moment, the reporter's camera cut to Sha Jaya's face. The man in the camera smiled like a spring breeze, his military uniform was straight, and he looked good. , looks elegant and noble.

The blond man stared at the reporter's lens with focused eyes, and his golden pupils were bathed in the sun as if dripping water - anyone who saw it would probably have their heart beat faster. For example, at this time, many people unconsciously He stopped in front of the huge pile of TVs, as if he was attracted by the people on the TV... At the same time, from a distance, Lu Twelve heard the gentle voice of the man promising through the TV screen that he would definitely have a good time. Protect the safety of your sweetheart.

Lu Twelve was stunned for a moment—it had to be said that he was stabbed in the heart by Sha Gaya's words of "sweetheart".

Just like what he saw on TV, in Lu Twelve's memory, Sha Gaya has always been very, very gentle.

It's just that now, his tenderness is given to someone else.

But this was all chosen by himself, so he had nothing to complain about, so he quickly let go of his frowning eyebrows. When he felt his teammate pushing a heavy shopping cart approaching behind him, the black-haired young man shook his head. He raised his hand back and pointed to the TV screen——

"Look," he said calmly, "my phantom beast is in good condition, isn't that great?"

"Look," JAY sneered, "A Phantom Beast worker is observing the health status of his Phantom Beast through the reporter's lens again, and it's still in the same state as seven or eight hours ago."

Lu Twelve: "..."

JAY: "..."

Lu Twelve withdrew his hand expressionlessly: "You are really annoying, do you know that?"

JAY smiled and nodded: "I know."

……

Before the New Year's Eve banquet, Lu Twelve did not forget the business he had to do.

Taking advantage of the year-end discount, I hurriedly found painters and decoration workers. The rental shop itself was a single open space. After Wu Yu’s consent, Lu Twelve planned and transformed them into three areas—the innermost one is Eudemons beauty area - including a sink, a trimming table, an aromatic bathing pool, and a huge transparent glass. When the advertising screen on the store is removed a month later, this huge transparent glass will play a good role in lighting. It makes the entire Eudemons grooming area look less dark and damp, and also allows the staff to clearly see the state of their Eudemons inside.

About 500 gold coins were used to build the pruning table, aroma bath, etc.

The second area is the Phantom Beast item sales area. The second-hand goods bought by Lu Twelve can be used at a reasonable price. The door to enter the entire store is also set in this area. It mainly sells some Phantom Beast snacks, supplies or first aid and healing supplies. Twelve considered whether he would use goat milk powder to make a limited number of phantom beast snacks every day as a selling point, but this was just a preliminary plan.

The third area is where Lu Twelve spends the most time. He used the best sound insulation materials in this small space of about ten square meters, put the record player he bought in, and ordered retro patterns. I even spent 100 gold coins at such a painful price to buy a carpet, and then carefully pasted the wallpaper. Ignoring the remaining Phantom beast work area in the store, this place is full of literature and art alone. It's just a petty bourgeoisie coffee shop.

After the above arrangement, plus the interior decorations and lights, it cost another 50 gold coins, 5 gold coins for various consumable papers, and the labor costs for the front and rear painters and remodeling workers are about 755 gold coins. , so that the entire empty rental shop has a preliminary appearance.

During the period, Wu Yu also came to visit.

He couldn't understand the black-haired young man's insistence on moving a lot of things in and out at the busiest time on the crowded streets every day - because most people do store decoration, in order to avoid objects bumping, they choose to do it at night It will only be carried out when there are fewer people, but the black-haired young man will not, he looks like he wants to use a loudspeaker to tell everyone that he is moving things.

"The publicity should start before the store is officially in operation." Lu Twelve smiled and checked the freshly built aromatic pool with water spraying from the tap. After confirming that there was no leakage, he raised his head in satisfaction Come on, by the way, use your chin to nod the people who are standing outside the huge transparent glass, looking inside with curiosity, "Look, isn't someone curious?"

Wu Yu: "...you can distribute leaflets afterwards."

"It costs money to distribute leaflets." Lu Twelve's smile became brighter, "It doesn't cost money to take a look, and they came to see it by themselves."

Wu Yu: "..."

When the two walked out of the shop side by side, as expected, a curious person approached Lu Twelfth and asked, "Young man, what kind of business are you planning to open here?"

Lu Twelve quickly replied: "Phantom Beast Beauty Shop, accepts Phantom Beast bathing, grooming, styling, and adjusting Phantom Beast's state."

"Oh, didn't you say that Eudemons are not easy to take a bath?" The man's eyes widened.

"It's easy to wash, times are changing, uncle." The black-haired young man said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, go back and check the news. The Phantom Beasts sent out from the Phantom Beast Recycling Station have been cleaned so that they are in such good condition." of--"

The curious man left in shock, Lu Twelve was quite satisfied, Wu Yu turned his head to look at the black-haired young man beside him, and when his eyes swept over the other's pair of black pupils that were particularly bright because of happiness, After a slight pause, it became a little softer.

When all the hardware equipment and labor points are calculated, the decoration work of the store is almost completed. Lu Twelve still has 1645 gold coins left in his hands. The 1145 gold coins Lu Twelfth plans to use to buy goods and add employees—the business should not be booming immediately at the beginning, so in Lu Twelve’s plan, he only plans to hire a part-time worker who will watch the store, help him receive customers, and arrange the order Boy, hire a cook who can make coffee and other beverages and snacks, and you can start business.

Where do these people go?

To the aid station, of course.

Lu Twelve came from that place. Of course he knew that the place was full of all kinds of cheap labor—plus the intermediary fees charged by the relief station when introducing jobs to the homeless. The cost of labor plus the rent was probably the price before he bargained with Wu Yu.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, because 500 years ago, he had the experience of opening a pet shop. This time, Lu Twelve did not rush around and make various mistakes as he did when he first opened the shop. He wandered around arguing with painters and construction workers every day. In the meantime, I was very busy, and before I knew it, when the painters and renovation workers announced that they were done and took away their 100 gold coins, Lu Twelve's Eudemons beauty shop was short of a signboard. You can open for business.

At this time, Lu Twelve's "high-profile decoration method" has already had some effects. At least gradually, many people who often go to the central district of G City know that there will soon be a phantom beast beauty shop on this street. opened.

The shop has no name yet.

The decoration of the store looks good and stylish, and there seems to be a separate rest area for the staff to rest very intimately.

The owner of the shop seems to be an aborigine in the Middle Ages—a person with black hair, black eyes, and fair skin. He smiles all day long and looks pretty good.

Someone broke the news, it is said that the owner of this shop seems to be the person who brought back the Phantom Beast Rehabilitation Center in the G City Phantom Beast Recycling Station in the ancient mainland, and someone else broke the news, it is said that this guy is the staff of the famous Phantom Beast Shakya...

However, these "rumors" were quickly overshadowed by the approaching footsteps of New Year's Eve.

When there were less than 36 hours left before going to the military headquarters to attend the New Year's Eve banquet, a busy pet shop owner who didn't touch the ground slapped his head and said: The dress for the banquet has not been prepared yet .

And at this time, he has already signed some supply contracts with some suppliers through the face of Wu Yu or Eudemons Recycling Station. With his body and bank card, he has a total value of less than 100 gold coins left...

In desperation, he dragged out from the closet the suits he bought at the New Year's Eve banquet last time - he thought he would never touch them again in his life, but in "Don't be willful if you don't have money" In the face of this tragic fact, he resolutely lost his integrity—when Lu Shier was struggling with which of them to wear, his teammates gave a rather classic evaluation——

"Wearing the clothes given by your ex-boyfriend, dating your current boyfriend under his nose, Lu Youqian, I found out that you are actually quite cheap."
