That night, I called the person who was on duty when I was in the store tomorrow and today, and offered to change shifts.

But as a matter of course, he didn't show up, and in the next few days, I gradually adjusted the working time to that time every day. I didn't tell anyone about my secret expectation, and I only explained to the foreman and Jiazi that it was more convenient to go to work at a stable time.

With a strange certainty in my heart that I will meet again, I waited until zero on a rainy afternoon.

The weather is already very hot, but he is still wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and the hem is carefully tucked into his trousers. The first thing he does when he enters the door is to put the umbrella that has been shaken outside the door into the rain gear storage.

When I walked in front of Zero, he just put away his rain gear and looked up.

"Welcome, how many are there?"

He seemed to want to say something, but my words got out first, so he had to answer first.

"One." Then he looked at me and added with some hesitation. "It's good to take the same seat as last time."

"Okay, please come with me." I felt that my palms were a little wet, but I still tried my best to look normal.

When he was seated, he took the drink list I handed over, but didn't open it.

"Granmaicha." Zero's jaw line was tense, and his hand slightly pulled his lower collar, and his exposed Adam's apple moved up and down. "Last time you said you made it...it's delicious."

Just now, my body, which has been following the steps of how to entertain guests according to the memory, froze. I felt that my hands were trembling uncontrollably, and the words that came out of my mouth also stuttered.

"You, as long as you like it."

Seeing my nervousness, he showed annoyed expression, put his hands in my hair and swept back over the top of my head.

"I didn't mean to offend you."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into silence. The strange thing is, I didn't feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, but a little bit of happiness gradually rose.

"My name is Kubo Hana." I said to him with downcast eyes.

"My name is Jiang Gu Ling." His voice hit my heart with the sound of raindrops hitting the glass.

It's 'Rei' in 'れい', not 'zero'.

"Last time I heard, your friends called you 'zero'" I mustered up the courage to look up at him. "Why didn't you come for so many days after that?"

In order to attract customers, it is normal to ask such questions. A good employee like me must worry about the boss first. I try to hypnotize myself.

He loosened the collar of his shirt again, revealing more of the tough lines and delicate skin of his neck.

"That's my nickname, because my name is the Chinese character 'zero', so it's 'zero'. I didn't come here a few days ago... because I don't know if it's appropriate to come by myself."

I couldn't help but look to his neck, trying to see the collarbone under the clothes.

"Mr. Jiang Gu, you are a customer, what's wrong with coming to our store?"

"Maybe." Zero suddenly smiled bitterly. "However, bad customers who pester female shop assistants are not welcome. I don't want to become the kind of person who will cause trouble to others."

I was caught off guard by his straight ball, and my mouth opened and closed several times in a daze without making a sound.

"Then, a female shop assistant like me who takes the opportunity to chat with customers who want to talk while working is the worst."

After saying this, I felt ashamed, hurriedly nodded to Zero, and left.

When I came back, the meal bills were left on the table, and zero people had already left.

The next day, I arrived at the store half an hour early like a chicken blood, and changed into clothes while the foreman teased me that he would not give me a salary increase.

When I walked into the hall, I slowed down the movement of arranging my hair. In the familiar position by the window, Zero stretched out his whole body and leaned slightly on the back of the chair.

There is a cup of brown rice tea on the table in front of him, and the book in his hand has an unfamiliar cover, it seems that it is not a book in the store.

I slowed down and walked past Zero. He seemed to feel that he put down the book and raised his eyes. The moment our eyes met, Zero said softly.

"Miss Kubo."

I hugged the book in my hand tightly and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jiang Gu."

When I finished sorting the books and returned to the hall, he was gone again.

It was the same for the next week, the foreman and colleagues were all aware of this ambiguity, and they began to deliberately ignore him when he entered the store, just waiting for me to go up.

However, although we meet every day, asking for contact information makes it difficult for me to speak up.

Probably because what I said when we met for the first time was too bold, I always felt that if I asked for contact information again, it would appear that I was too frivolous. Anyway, if we meet every day like this, there is always a chance to get it.

Thinking this way, I suddenly didn't see him again for a long time.

"That handsome guy from before, with a dark complexion and a good figure, have you been to the store these days?"

After not seeing him for about a week, I also asked Kako, who was on shift with me most of the time.

"Um........"

She looked sympathetic and embarrassed.

"I don't really remember....it wasn't there when I was there, maybe it just didn't come across"

The two of them were silent for a while, and Kako spoke again.

"The boy who arrived in the store today is really nice, Huali, you can go and say a few words."

I didn't answer her, so the conversation ended, and I even wondered in my heart whether they thought I was like the old girl who was deceived by men, who fell in love foolishly, and the man could disappear at any time.

If there were no things that happened later, the meeting between us during that period would probably be like all the meaningless encounters in the world, with that deep ignorance, I would gradually forget it.

"Have you heard? Huali, the news that has been spreading to my senior sister recently seems to be true."

At the beginning of September, with the end of the summer vacation, the clothes I often wear on my body have changed from waiter clothes to school uniforms. The Hiotei Academy I am studying in is a private school with very strict management and strong self-esteem in the norms. Therefore, as long as the school starts, my working life will temporarily come to an end.

"Hua Li, did you listen to me carefully! I said—the previous rumors are true! Master Atobe, it seems that he is coming back!"

Zuo Xu, who had been ignored by my mind wandering, finally roared into my ear unbearably.

"What!? Really, Kobayakawa, you don't want to come here and talk nonsense when you hear some messy news somewhere else."

The consequence of not paying attention to the volume is that the whole class is boiling over because of Sao's words.

I also became shocked after knowing it.

"It's that, is that Atobe Keigo? The Atobe senior who went to study in England."

"Absolutely." Sao, who got the attention of the whole class, rubbed her nose proudly. "Akutagawa-senpai, who was in the third year of high school, said this matter himself, and a senior sister went to question Hokun from the next class, and Hokun also said that Mr. Sakaki had indeed mentioned it."

Senior Akutagawa Jiro, and Hocho Taro-kun from the class next door, both Keigo Atobe-senior went to England to receive education after high school. When he was studying in junior high school, he had the same tennis club friend as Mr. Sakaki who taught Ho-kun the violin. Atobe-senpai is said to have a close relationship.

"Wow, that's really true, Atobe-senpai is actually coming back."

I was so surprised that I could only express such dry feelings in the end.

The admission system of Ice Emperor Academy is from the preschool education department to the junior middle school, high school, and university department. Enrollment is recommended. So in fact, starting from the early childhood education department, you are basically surrounded by students who have been promoted all the way. During elementary school, you will Establish unreasonable to strict grade divisions. If there are no special circumstances, even the seniors of the elementary school clubs are the seniors of your junior high school clubs, and the seniors of the high school clubs are the seniors of your junior high school clubs, even if there are new recommendations for admission every time you go to school Or, it is difficult to destroy the rules established long ago.

But Keigo Atobe, who just entered Hyotei in junior high school, at the opening ceremony of the year he entered school, Senior Atobe spoke as a freshman representative. Others did it very well. He made it feel natural to call himself Hyotei Afterwards, I went to the tennis club and defeated all the main candidates. The game was so sensational that even I, who was in the primary school, was called to watch by excited classmates.

Of course, if it’s just like this, he may be remembered by us as a generation of gods, and we won’t be excited for him even now that he’s gone.

The Atobe Foundation, after Keigo Atobe enrolled, sponsored a large sum of money, from club funds, to educational equipment, canteens, sports equipment, and various infrastructures were updated and evolved. If Ice Emperor enrolled in Keigo Atobe It used to be an ordinary private college, but after Keigo Atobe enrolled, it became a noble private college synonymous with luxury and money.

This senior Atobe Keigo is the foundation of our Ice Emperor's shotgun replacement, and during the course of this young master Atobe's study, Ice Emperor naturally became something of the Atobe Consortium.

If students want to have a good time in school, they still need to know whose face is suitable. It just so happens that the young master is an heir to the upper class who has received an elite education. All the moves in the Ice Emperor) are very appropriate, and naturally all the students in the school have become the licking dogs of the young master.

"Hey! Licking a dog is too ugly!"

Sao punched me on the top of the head with a thunderous fist, which ended the "Atobe Keigo science popularization" that I had unknowingly started with my new high school classmates. '

"In short, even if I go to the UK, Ice Emperor has established friendly relations with some international schools, and the approval of school funds every quarter, these things are still presided over by Ice Emperor's senior Atobe. He is the school. The real mastermind."

Zuo Xu didn't know what he was so proud of, he tried his best to brag about Atobe, looking like a fan girl talking about her idol, and her dog legs met her right master.

I couldn't bear to look directly and covered my eyes, reminding her to get down to business.

"Okay, the class teacher asked us to submit the plan of our class for the joint festival of the eight schools at Ice Emperor's home court. Let's put down the senior Atobe who is far away in the UK, Sao-sama."

"That." Zuo Xu waved to me indifferently. "The teacher has already informed that it is invalid. This joint festival, so far, all the plans of the student union, class, and club have been cancelled. We have invested more than ten times the funds and let all of us re-plan."

She smiled and showed her white teeth to the stunned classmates.

"Senior Keigo Atobe, I want to take over the eight-school joint festival."

If I want to say how I feel about a god like Keigo Atobe who was born with beer engraved on his forehead, it must be that I can't say anything special about him other than "this person's beer" , I don't think the festival hosted by him will have any influence on me, a little guy.

Until I saw the light-haired and dark-skinned person in the bustling school student union who came to the meeting, whose figure was between a youth and a teenager, shaking hands with Keigo Atobe.

In an instant, the nympho Zuo around me, the crowd whispering back and forth, and the air conditioner so loud that the venue was all gone away from me. In my world, only the beating heart in my chest was left, and the thumping sound was so loud that I My eardrums are a little tingling.

"Who is that person shaking hands with Atobe-senpai?" I tugged at the sleeve of Sao who was sitting next to me.

Zuo Xu triumphantly pushed the thick eyes on the bridge of his nose.

"Hmph, Huali, you have also noticed that the person invited by Atobe-sama is unusual."

She lowered her voice, intending to create some mysterious atmosphere.

"Those people are high-achieving students from Japan's Central Police University, because the number of people and the venue must be reported in advance for gatherings, and then a corresponding number of police officers will be dispatched to ensure safety. However, the police force in Tokyo has always been tense. This time the event was organized by Atobe The adults suggested to the relevant people that since it is a student activity, some students from the Police University will be selected to maintain the scene, which can also cultivate high school students' yearning for the Police Academy. It is said that most of them are seniors who have already participated in the practice in their junior and senior years. , there are also some excellent sophomores."

It turned out to be a student of the Central Police University. I silently read the name of this school in my heart, and when I looked at the stage again, Zero's figure had disappeared.

The author has something to say: I accidentally typed a lot of words as soon as I played the trace. I don’t know if you have seen The Prince of Tennis. The department is very important, and the higher ups attach great importance to it, so we got rid of it. What kind of incident is going to happen this time, worry
