After living with a straight man, I became a menswear boss

The inside of the inn is as simple as its appearance.

The living room is spacious. The wooden carved counter is facing the door, about two meters long, with several exquisite bamboo carvings on it. On one side of the counter is a mini lucky cat, waving its hands.

On the left side of the living room is a large screen embroidered with flower clusters. The screen is placed horizontally, just blocking the way to the corridor behind.

In the middle of the hall is a long pool made of cement, painted the green color of bamboo, and there are a few red goldfish in it, gurgling and bubbling.

The compartment on the right looks like a kitchen, and there is a long table outside. The table and chairs are made of bamboo, matching the interior decoration.

No one at the counter.

Shi Jin put the rain-stained umbrella by the door and walked to the pool.

It was also when he got closer that he found a slender red rope hanging from the edge of the pool, hanging from the eaves, a small wooden sign was hung on it, and several exquisite bells were attached to it.

There is a word on the wooden sign: Please ring the bell for accommodation.

ring the bell?

Shi Jin's eyes fell on the small bell on the wooden sign, and he reached out his hand to touch it with some hesitation.

The sound from the small bell was surprisingly crisp.

Footsteps soon came from the corridor behind the screen.

Shi Jin looked sideways, and saw a woman in national costume walking out.

The woman's age is not very old, she looks only 26 and seven, her skin is fair, and her eyebrows and eyes are smiling: "Is the guest here to stay?"

Shi Jin nodded: "I booked a room here on my phone."

"Come here."

The woman held a small lantern in her hand, and she walked towards the counter after speaking: "Show me the reservation information."

Shi Jin handed out the phone, and his eyes fell on the red lantern.

After checking the information, the woman smiled when she saw that he was interested in the lantern: "This lantern is not real, it has a light bulb inside, and it is for backup."

"spare?"

"That's right." The woman nodded: "The line in the village is not stable, and it often rains, sometimes it's not convenient to wake up at night when the power goes out, so I prepare some rechargeable lanterns for backup."

As she spoke, she stuffed the lantern on the counter into Shijin's hand: "Neng, this one is for you."

"Did you book a room for three days?" The woman lowered her head to confirm the information: "It's the off-season now, and there are plenty of rooms in the inn, but the fourth and fifth floors have not been cleaned up, so now I can only choose the second or second floor. The third floor depends on your needs."

"The second floor is more convenient, but it is close to the hall and kitchen, so it may be noisy when cooking in the morning; the third floor is quieter, but it is not so convenient to go up and down the stairs, it depends on your needs."

Shi Jin thought for a while: "Let's go to the third floor."

The woman returned the phone to him, walked around the counter and led the way: "Okay, come with me."

The stairs to go upstairs are in the corridor behind the screen, Shi Jin followed the woman around the screen, and soon reached the third floor.

"There are no guests on the third floor except you. If you are afraid, you can change to the second floor."

Seeing that Shijin didn't intend to change, the woman groped to turn on the light in the corridor on the third floor: "My grandma and I live in the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, you can come downstairs to find us if you need it."

The lights came on, and the corridor shrouded in darkness instantly became bright.

The woman led him to a room next to the stairs, and opened the door: "You can live in this room, it's convenient to be closer to the stairs, after all, you're the only one on the third floor now, so don't worry about the noise."

"Another guest will come tomorrow. The room he reserved is opposite this one. If you mind, you can tell me now, and I'll change it for you."

Shi Jin naturally didn't mind.

The woman smiled: "The quilt and pillow have just been changed, and they have been laid out for you. It will be a little cold here at night. If you feel cold, you can ask us for an extra quilt."

"The toiletries are in the hanging cabinet next to the toilet. If you don't have anything else, just go downstairs and tell me or my grandma tomorrow."

Shi Jin hesitated for a moment: "Okay, thank you."

Seeing the reason for his hesitation, the woman frowned, "Just call me Aqiu."

"It's getting late, the guests should rest early."

The sound of footsteps stepping on the stairs gradually faded away.

Shi Jin closed the door, her eyes fell on the room.

The room is not too big, it has been cleaned in advance, it is clean and tidy, the cabinets and tables are probably made of bamboo, the room has a light smell of bamboo leaves, and the smell of the soil wet by the rain outside the window, it is unique flavor.

In the center of the room is a large bed. The quilt and pillows are all bamboo leaf patterns on a white background, which is fresh and natural.

Shi Jin put the backpack on the table by the door and walked to the window.

The window was facing the bluestone road when I came here, but it was dark at this time, and the dark stone road could not be seen clearly under the dim light.

After a simple wash, Shi Jin lay down on the bed.

The hard bamboo bed was still so hard even with a quilt on it, so Shi Jin frowned and turned around, looking directly at the window not far away.

The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the whistling cold wind slammed the raindrops on the window edge, strongly demonstrating his own existence.

Shi Jin couldn't sleep well.

The various thoughts in his mind were mixed together, and the chaotic thoughts made his brain twitch and hurt.

After an unknown amount of time, when he finally felt sleepy, he seemed to hear some movement from downstairs.

...Looks like another guest is coming?

In the end, this vague thought did not overcome the drowsiness, stayed in the brain for a moment, and soon fell into the darkness with instinct.

A night without dreams.

Shi Jin woke up very early.

The hard bamboo bed made him ache all over, and he only got up after sleeping for a long time.

Rubbing the eyebrows that were swollen due to lack of sleep, Shi Jin walked downstairs.

In the living room on the second floor, Ah Qiu was sitting in front of the counter with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

When Shi Jin stepped forward and saw the pen and paper in her hand, she realized that she was drawing.

Aqiu was a little embarrassed, she put away the drawing paper on the table, smiled and looked at Shi Jin: "Good morning, Mr. Shi."

Shi Jin: "Good morning."

"Do you want something to eat?" Aqiu said as he was about to get up: "Noodles or rice noodles are available, or do you want sweet potatoes? I just dug them in the ground this morning, and they are so sweet."

The inn he booked included three meals, which also saved him the trouble of thinking about food.

Shi Jin didn't know much about the food here, so he pursed his lips: "Do whatever is convenient for you."

Ah Qiu looked around in the kitchen: "Then let me cook you a sour soup powder, this is also our specialty here."

Shi Jin nodded: "Thank you."

The sour soup powder came out of the pot quickly.

Ah Qiu brought a bowl to the table in the living room, found another tray and filled another bowl: "Mr. Shi, eat slowly, I'll go and give grandma a bowl."

Shi Jin wanted to take advantage of the breakfast time to ask A Qiu if there were any places worth visiting nearby, but A Qiu didn't come back until he had finished his bowl of noodles.

He glanced at the time and decided to go out for a stroll first.

The rain outside the house is stronger than what you see inside.

Shi Jin walked into the rain curtain with an umbrella, and the bean-sized raindrops hit the umbrella with a howling momentum, and then dripped along the edge of the umbrella, smashing rain beans one by one in the puddles under the ground.

There was no one on the Qingshiban road, but there were a few beauties sitting on the side of the road on stilted buildings, and when they saw people passing by on the road, they cast curious glances.

Walking and stopping all the way in the rain, Shi Jin can be regarded as turning around this small village.

Qingliu Village is not big, and it will be about 500 meters from the Qingshiban road that enters the village to the end. Except for the inn in the center of the village, the rest are mostly houses of local villagers.

In addition, there is a path leading to the back mountain at the very end of the stockade.

But because of the muddy rain, Shijin didn't go any further.

After roughly walking around the village, Shi Jin turned back to the inn.

The rain only increased along the way, and by the time he walked all the way back to the inn, his trouser legs were already wet.

He leaned the umbrella against the pillar by the door, and patted the raindrops on his shoulder.

In the hall of the inn, Aqiu went somewhere, and was replaced by a figure from the back half leaning in front of the counter.

Even though there is only one back view, one can still see the extraordinary bearing from the superior body proportions.The simple light gray shirt outlined the broad shoulders and gathered around the waist, making the man tall and long-legged.

but......

Shi Jin's eyes moved slightly.

"Phew—it's raining heavily."

Someone rushed in recklessly behind him, throwing off the rain on the umbrella.

The man sighed, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me wipe it for you."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out and take out a tissue from his backpack.

Shi Jin took a step back, not paying attention: "It's fine."

The movement at the door also caught the attention of the person at the counter. He casually threw away the feather duster in his hand for sweeping the dust, and his scattershot eyes stopped when he passed the hall.

Ok?

The end of his eyes, stained with laziness, lifted slightly, and the smile in his eyes overflowed.

Isn't that just a coincidence?

Shi Jin also saw him, he suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and said, "Why are you here?"

Yu Ci curled the corners of his lips, and explained in a casual tone, "This inn is run by my godmother."

"It's you." He tapped on the counter with his fingertips, and his eyes were stained with thought: "You came here after you separated from me yesterday?"

"Well, I'm coming..." The words on the lips hesitated a few times, and finally changed to another sentence: "I'm here to travel."

Yu Ci took his pause into his eyes.

"That what."

The boy, who was covered in water when he shook it off, weakly raised his hand, and looked around the two of them hesitantly: "I have reserved a room here, who is the boss?"

Although he didn't think these two people looked like the boss, there seemed to be no one else here except them.

"Come in." Yu Ci glanced at him, bent down and turned on the computer: "I'll help you register."

Taking advantage of the time when Yu Ci was helping the young boy to check in, Shi Jin bypassed the screen and went upstairs.

Before entering the door, he glanced at the opposite house and found that the "vacant" sign that had been hanging on the door had been removed.

It seemed that what he heard last night was correct, someone had indeed lived across the street.

I just don't know if it's a new tourist or Yuci.

Such a thought flashed through my mind, and soon disappeared.

I went out in the rain, but was thrown by the raindrops on the umbrella again, and the clothes on my body could no longer be worn.

Shi Jin took out a change of clothes from her backpack, planning to take a shower and change again.

When passing by the window, his eyes glanced out inadvertently and stopped.

When he arrived at the stockade last night, it was already late, and with the rain and fog, the visibility outside the window was not high, so he didn't notice that there was a small road behind the stilted building opposite the inn.

The path is hidden behind the stilted building and is covered by dense forests. If you look downstairs, you may not be able to see it clearly, but standing on the third floor, you can see it clearly from the perspective of the upper floors.

It looks like the way up the mountain.

Maybe I can go down and ask Ah Qiu after I take a shower.
