"Boss, today's turnover is higher than yesterday."

A 20-year-old boy with studs on his earbones rushed up to the second floor of the bookstore holding a calculator and bills.The excitement of earning money hangs on his face.

Probably because he was a little excited or tired from rushing upstairs, his cheeks were flushed and he looked at the person sitting by the bay window on the second floor reading a book.

The man didn't seem to have heard what he just said, his head was still bowed, the broken hair on his forehead drooped at the corner of his eyes, and his fingers turned another page.

Although the boss of his own family has quit the entertainment industry for a year, he still looks as gentle and elegant as on TV.

Lu Tingfu was recruited by Jiang Liang a year ago.Before he officially took up his post, he never saw the bookstore owner himself, only a man who looked 30 years old.

At that time, he happened to run away from home, and had no place to work, so he simply picked a bookstore that had just opened.Originally, he didn't have much hope, and was going to work in a dairy factory, but he was notified by the bookstore.

When he was waiting to sign the non-disclosure agreement, he saw the second-line actor who had notified his withdrawal from the entertainment industry not long ago sitting in front of him, and he was almost scared to death.

"Boss, Brother Huo even gave us some buns made by his sister-in-law, don't read the book."

Lu Tingfu was still holding the calculator in his hand, leaning his shoulder against the door of the living room on the second floor, leaning against the door and speaking louder.

It was also because his voice was louder that Jiang Liang, who was reading a book not far away, was called out from the book, looked up at the red clouds in the sky outside the window, marveled at the beauty of the scenery in his heart, waved to Lu Tingfu, and said with a smile: " Come and see the sunset, it’s very nice.”

Watching the sunset will appear in this bookstore almost every now and then. Lu Tingfu was not interested in these things at first, but seeing the love for these scenes in Jiang Liang's eyes, he would still go closer and accompany Jiang Liang to see them.

Jiang Liang turned his body sideways, with his legs bent, the late spring wind was blowing from the window on one side, and Lu Ting could smell the smell of citrus when he came face to face.

The man focused on admiring the sunset outside the window, exposing his slender neck to Lu Tingfu's eyes.He has never been in love, nor has he liked anyone.I have never had other thoughts about my sexual orientation.All I know is that when he gets close to Jiang Liang, his heartbeat will speed up, and his mind will be confused by the smell of citrus.

He stopped to buffer his beating heart, stood in front of the bay window, and watched the sunset with Jiang Liang behind him.

"Is the shop closed tomorrow?"

It's not that Lu Tingfu is talking too much, but that Jiang Liang will close the store at the end of every month to give him a holiday, and then disappear for three or four days before reappearing.

He didn't know what Jiang Liang did, he only knew that every time Jiang Liang would come back in the morning, and then shut himself in the bedroom for a whole day.

Although Lu Tingfu sometimes does not do business, he also pays attention to some entertainment news.He knew that the top performers in the entertainment industry were in love with Jiang Liang, and that Jiang Liang had changed his stage name.After knowing that they broke up, Jiang Liang disappeared for a while inexplicably.Also know that Rong Sheng seems to really like Jiang Liang.

After all, during Jiang Liang’s year in Wucheng, Rong Sheng was asked by the host about the ring on his ring finger during an interview. He smiled and replied that it was a pair with his lover’s ring.He also said the other ring was always with him.

"Why are you in a daze?" Jiang Liang smiled lightly and looked back at Lu Tingfu who was in a daze.Probably because he was standing by the window, the studs on his ear bones were shining brightly, and his face still had the vigor that is unique to a 20-year-old.

"Ah, no, I was just wondering why you like watching the sunset and sunset so much."

It has been a whole year since Lu Tingfu joined this bookstore.

After Jiang Liang left Rongsheng a year ago, he happened to meet Huo Ji and his wife and children packing their luggage and returning to Wucheng.

Wucheng is not far from Liaocheng, just next door.

If he wanted to go back to see Jiang Yingxian, he could drive there for an hour, and in Wucheng, he was farther away from Rongsheng, reducing the possibility of meeting him.

In a blink of an eye, spring and autumn came, and he actually stayed in Wucheng for a whole year.During this year, Jiang Liang did not deliberately avoid everything with Rong Sheng.Therefore, almost every few days, entertainment newspapers or financial newspapers will report which artists Rongsheng has signed, and which programs and variety shows he has participated in.

Which artists under the name have won awards.

Now few people will mention Jiang Liang anymore, maybe one day, in a certain newspaper reporting on Rongsheng, there will be a sentence "former lover - Jiang Liang" in a certain corner.

But even so, Jiang Liang never showed up in the bookstore.Huo Ji was the one to talk to the book supplier and publishing house, and Lu Tingfu was in charge of the rest.

Cover tightly when you go out.He didn't dare to guess how far the public had forgotten him, and he didn't want to appear in any edition of the report again.

It is probably because Rong Sheng's psychological treatment during the period when he was trapped in Rong's house had an effect. After leaving Rong Sheng, he did not have a few illnesses again.Occasionally, the symptoms are not too serious.

"Sunset is the best thing to pass the time when you are free."

"Ah, anyway, I don't understand." Lu Tingfu raised his hand and rubbed his hair. He really never observed these scenery. He was busy traveling all over the world at the age of 20, full of enthusiasm. How could he sit down and watch the sunset calmly? Woolen cloth.Lu Tingfu probably felt that there was nothing to talk about, so he softened his tone and said after a while, "Let's go down and eat? The steamed stuffed buns from Brother Huo."

"You go down first, I will come right away."

Jiang Liang got up and half closed the open window, Lu Tingfu turned on the floor lamp in the corner of the living room before going downstairs.The living room was already dark, so it would be convenient for Jiang Liang to go downstairs later.

Jiang Liang stayed on the bay window for a while, until the sun completely disappeared on the distant horizon, then he packed up the books beside him and slowly went downstairs.

The steamed stuffed bun has been sent to the microwave oven of the production station on the first floor by the waiting Lu Tingfu several times.

Jiang Liang's bookstore not only sells books, but also provides coffee and milk tea service for customers.Lu Tingfu was only in charge of charging books, and Huo Ji and his wife were in charge of other things. Jiang Liang couldn't do anything, so he simply used the money he earned to fund the bookstore.

Jiang Liang didn't see the Huo Ji couple when he went downstairs, so he asked, "Have they gone back?"

"That's right, it's because the child's test scores were too poor today, so he went home early for a meeting." Lu Tingfu's tone was a little gloating, as he and Huo Ji's son always got into fights for no reason on weekdays. There is no one who cares about 20-year-olds and children.

"That's the Criticism Conference." Jiang Liang smiled lightly and pulled away the high stool next to the bar, "Suddenly I'm glad my parents never cared about my grades."

"Then the boss's grades are good?" Lu Tingfu asked curiously.

Jiang Liang said with a bit of pride without concealing it: "Very good, then the teacher said that if I didn't like acting and took the cultural class honestly, I would definitely be able to enter a double first-class university."

Lu Tingfu was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Liang's words, he was still holding the buns he had just taken out of the microwave with gloves on.He had always thought that his grades as an actor would not be so good, but he never thought that Jiang Liang was indeed a college bully.

"Do you like acting? Now..." Lu Tingfu put the baking tray with buns on the bar in front of Jiang Liang, always talking straight.Soon after realizing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly said, "Ah, I'm sorry. I don't have a high EQ."

"It's okay. But...it's a good day now."

Jiang Liang picked up the chopsticks that Lu Tingfu had prepared for him on the bar, picked up the buns and ate with his expression unchanged.

The buns just taken out of the microwave are inevitably a little hot, so Jiang Liang should be careful while eating them.Take small bites after small bites.Probably because he is used to living with Lu Tingfu on the second floor of the bookstore, now he is eating buns, and Lu Tingfu is sitting in front of him and staring at him, he doesn't feel anything.

Probably because he remembered that Lu Tingfu was only 20 years old, so he asked: "I remember that the column of your profile says you graduated from high school, why don't you go to college?"

Lu Tingfu dragged his chin with both hands, and the word innocent was written all over his face, "My family asked me to study abroad, but I didn't want to go, so I ran out."

"Why don't you want to? Could it be that the girl you like is studying at a university in China?"

When Lu Tingfu heard this, his face flushed suddenly: "No, just, I just don't want to study abroad."

Jiang Liang looked at the young man's flushed cheeks, sneered, and found another topic: "It seems that your family's conditions are also good, otherwise why would I send you abroad wholeheartedly. It wouldn't be because you have a million-dollar fortune that requires you to go abroad Learn to come back and inherit."

Jiang Liang just made a joke, but when he saw Lu Tingfu's wide-open eyes and slightly parted lips, he let out an ah, and finally just said, it seems that he is really a rich young master.

The two chatted while joking, and after finishing the buns Huo Ji sent over, they packed up the bookstore, and then went upstairs to the bedroom to sleep.

There is no difference between late spring and early summer, except for the intensity of the sun.

Because of the recent heat, Jiang Liang no longer likes to sit by the bay window facing south.After all, it's uncomfortable to be in the sun all day.

Today Huo Ji was not in the shop again, only Huo Ji's wife and Lu Tingfu were busy.Jiang Liang couldn't go downstairs to help.But at such a busy time, the coffee beans in the shop were gone.

Sitting upstairs, Jiang Liang listened to Lu Tingfu and Huo Ji's wife scrambling downstairs, and finally called Lu Tingfu and said that he would go out to pick it up.

It was another coffee shop that delivered the coffee beans to them, not far from Jiang Liang's bookstore.Lu Tingfu held the landline of the bookstore in his hand, looked up at the upstairs, and finally said to Jiang Liang on the other end of the phone, "Okay. Be careful."

When Jiang Liang went downstairs, he was finally able to take a look at his bookstore when it was full of people.

Lu Tingfu was busy shuttling through the crowd, taking time to take a look at Jiang Liang who was fully armed, and had no time to send Jiang Liang out at all.

It was Jiang Liang who lowered his head and wore a mask and went out of the bookstore alone through the sea of ​​people.

"Mr. Rong, do you want me to go down and buy a cup of coffee?"

Cheng Yesi looked at Rong Sheng who was sitting in the back seat frowning through the rearview mirror, his eyes were a little erratic.
