Lovers suffer from depression [Quick Transmigration]

Voices, footsteps, cars...

As the back kitchen door was opened, all the sounds were desperately piercing into Meng Miandong's ears.

He curled up and covered his ears, but there was nothing he could do to block out all the sounds.

He took a deep breath, lowered his hands, and wanted to close the door again, but saw the store manager walking towards him.

The store manager is a young woman around 25 years old. She walked up to Meng Miandong, and said embarrassedly: "Xu Cu has asked for leave because of a fever. Miandong, can I trouble you to replace Xu Cu?"

Meng Miandong lowered her head, not daring to look at the store manager. Hearing what the store manager said, she tremblingly said, "Sorry, I can't do it."

The store manager begged: "Just one waiter is really not enough, Miandong, please."

Meng Miandong's first reaction was to resign, and he resigned immediately. This part-time job in a coffee shop is his part-time job, and his job is a cartoonist—no, he can't be called a cartoonist, he can only be called a cartoonist. Painter.

Because the submissions failed one after another, he had to work part-time in order to make a living.

He suffers from red face phobia, the so-called red face phobia is when facing strangers and the opposite sex, he will blush, accompanied by negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, shyness, cowardice, low self-esteem, etc., and his symptoms are particularly serious , except for people he is particularly familiar with, he will blush in front of everyone, and all kinds of negative emotions will cling to him tightly.

For example, right now he is still in the back kitchen, making preparations before opening the store, but because of the store manager's words, a scene of himself embarrassing himself in front of the customers appears in his mind.

The reason why he wanted to become a cartoonist at the beginning was because cartoonists can minimize contact with people, and all he has to face is his editor.

But part-time jobs are not easy to find, and there are very few part-time jobs that do not face people.

When he came to the coffee shop for an interview, his request was not to entertain guests, so he got a job in the back kitchen. All he had to face was a chef and a pastry chef in the coffee shop.

His current savings are not enough to support him to find the next suitable part-time job, so he has no way to resign immediately, nor can he force himself to agree. He can only be in a stalemate with the store manager.

The store manager begged again: "Miandong, please, just today."

one day……

Even for a day, he couldn't do it.

Just like now, he can't even look at the store manager.

The store manager sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I forced you."

The store manager went out after finishing speaking, and he was the only one left in the back kitchen, neither the chef nor the pastry chef came yet.

He was stunned for a while, then continued to make preparations before opening the store.

After about 10 minutes, the chef came, and another 5 minutes later, the pastry chef also came.

He has been working with chefs and pastry chefs for nearly two months, and he has to face them almost every day, but he has never faced them.

They were already used to it, and after coming in, they greeted him and went about their own business.

After another half an hour, the store manager walked into the back kitchen for the second time today, and she walked straight up to Meng Miandong and said, "Miandong, the new part-time student just called to say he's quitting. There is no other way, just for today, I will give you double salary, can you please help me to receive guests?"

Receiving customers is the job that faces the most customers. He can't do it, but the store manager is really a good person. Intellectually, he understands that he should help the store manager.

In the process of finding a part-time job, he encountered many obstacles, because every time he interviewed, he didn't even dare to look at the interviewer's face. Only the store manager didn't think he was weird and accepted him.

The store manager also treats him as a younger brother and does not allow other employees to criticize him.

"I..." He tried to glance at the store manager, who looked anxious and sincere.

Did not get his affirmative answer, the store manager said again: "I will give you three times the salary."

Whether it's for the sake of salary or the sake of the store manager, he can't refuse.

He nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, I see."

The store manager smiled with relief, and said: "You don't need to look at the faces of customers, you just need to be responsible for receiving customers."

Without speaking, he took off the apron on his body and hung it on the side again.

Before he could go outside, he already felt that it was difficult for him to breathe and his legs were stiff.

The store manager obviously noticed his anomaly, and immediately said: "Forget it, Mian Dong, you should stay in the back kitchen, and I'll figure out a solution."

"It's okay, I've already promised you." Meng Miandong closed her eyes heavily, then opened them again, walked out of the back kitchen, and walked into the hall.

The coffee shop is not big, there are only two waiters, one is Xu Cu who asked for leave because of a fever, and the other is a part-time student who resigned - part-time students usually come in the afternoon, when they are too busy, the store manager Will personally receive guests.

It's eight o'clock in the morning, and no guests have come to the door yet.

Their coffee shop also serves breakfast, but the breakfast business has always been bad. It should be too expensive compared to other breakfast shops, right?

Fortunately, no guests came...

He thought so, but he felt sorry for the store manager. This coffee shop was opened by the store manager. Due to the location, the rent was very high, and it was said that he could hardly make ends meet.

He went to the door and stood with bowed head, waiting to greet the guests.

1 minute passed, 2 minutes passed... 10 minutes passed, and no one came to the door.

He just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard footsteps, the footsteps did not pass by, but stopped at the door of the coffee shop.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and he saw a pair of Brogue leather shoes.

——It was his job to open the door.

When the guest walked to the seat and sat down, he belatedly said to the guest: "Welcome."

He walked quickly to the guest again and handed the menu to the guest with both hands.

The guest took the menu and looked at it slowly.

He didn't dare to look at the guest's face, but the guest's hands with clear knuckles caught his eyes, which was very pleasing to the eye.

It is obviously a man's hand, why does he find it pleasing to the eye?

He was confused when he heard the guest say: "Please give me an egg and bacon sandwich and a glass of hot orange juice."

He took back the menu and went to the back kitchen to place an order.

He didn't notice that the guest smiled after glancing at his back.

This guest is of course Wen Ran, Wen Ran arrived in this world 1 minute ago.

Meng Miandong in this world suffers from red-faced phobia, and is afraid of interacting with strangers, which really made him wonder what to do for a while.

Therefore, he can only visit Meng Miandong first, and then make plans.

Since he was the only guest, it didn't take long for an egg and bacon sandwich with hot orange juice to arrive.

While eating, Wen Ran looked at Meng Miandong who almost ran away after putting down the hot orange juice.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Meng Miandong in human form for a long time.

He was afraid of scaring Meng Miandong, so he didn't pay more attention to Meng Miandong, and silently ate the food in front of him.

His identity in this world is the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, but even so, it is impossible for him to rashly invite Meng Miandong to write.

System 001 has entered all the information about Meng Miandong in this world into his brain, so he knows that today is Meng Miandong's first day as a waiter.

Being a waiter is extremely difficult for Meng Miandong, who suffers from red-faced phobia.

He wanted to guard Meng Miandong, and after eating a few mouthfuls of egg and bacon sandwiches, he called his deputy editor and said, "I'm going to ask for leave today, if there is something urgent, please contact me."

After hanging up the phone, he continued to eat the egg and bacon sandwich.

Before he finished eating, another guest came.

Meng Miandong finally came to his senses this time, he took the initiative to open the door for the guests, and warmly said: "Welcome."

The guest was a young woman. After Meng Miandong lured her to sit down, she took out a cigarette.

Smoking is prohibited in the coffee shop, Meng Miandong hurriedly stopped before the cigarette butt was lit: "Sorry, smoking is not allowed in this shop."

The young woman took it for granted: "Isn't it just smoking a cigarette? What's the big deal?"

After finishing speaking, she lit a slender lady's cigarette with a lighter carved with delicate patterns.

She took a sip and asked again, "Waiter, where's the menu?"

Meng Miandong was anxiously thinking about how to word words to stop the young woman from smoking, and even forgot to list the menu.

Hearing this, he hurriedly went to get the menu, and begged again: "Can you please put out the cigarette?"

The young woman smiled and said, "You begged me to put out the cigarette, why are you blushing?"

Meng Miandong stroked her cheeks subconsciously, her cheeks were very hot, she was indeed blushing.

He didn't look at the young woman's face at all, but blushed.

Sure enough, he is a waste suffering from red-faced phobia.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the young woman teased again: "You look cute when you blush, don't you have a crush on me? But I won't fall in love with you. A waiter can't make much money."

Meng Miandong had never been in a relationship because of her red-faced phobia. She was a little embarrassed when she was told that, and she repeated helplessly: "Please put out the cigarette."

The young woman calmly said: "When I finish smoking this cigarette, the cigarette will go out naturally."

Meng Miandong knew he couldn't just sit back and watch the young woman continue to smoke, but he didn't know what to do.

He was sweating from anxiety, but he still didn't dare to look at the young woman's face. What caught his eyes was the curling white smoke rising from the cigarette between the young woman's fingers.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps.

—Is there a new guest?

He suddenly looked towards the door, but unexpectedly saw an extremely handsome face.

The man with this face is elegant, like a gentleman who came out of the Middle Ages.

The man was wearing a heather gray suit, the suit was straight, exposing the man's figure, and the man was wearing a pair of brogue leather shoes.

So the man in front of you is the first customer, right?

This time, he didn't touch it with his hands, so he knew that his face must be redder.

He didn't know why the man came to him, and after a while, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Excuse me, do you want to pay the bill?"

Wen Ran looked at Meng Miandong whose face was blushing, his heart was full of love and affection, he shook his head and said, "I won't pay for the time being."

Then, he directly took out the lady's cigarette from the young woman's hand, and said with a smile: "This coffee shop prohibits smoking, please don't embarrass the waiter."

The young woman was stunned by Wen Ran's appearance, and after a while, she smiled embarrassingly: "I didn't mean it."

She used a condescending attitude when confronted with a waiter who clearly had no future, but when faced with a man who seemed to be a successful man, she remembered to protect her image.

Wen Ran walked to the trash can outside the store, put out the cigarette in his hand, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and returned to his seat.

Meng Miandong, who was still standing there, looked at Wen Ran secretly, and suddenly felt that he was too incompetent, as a waiter, he was incompetent enough to ask customers to come and rescue him.

But he was an incompetent person, right?I can't even do something as simple as communicating with people normally.

It would be great if human beings were not social animals, but solitary animals.
