When Yu Mingye was not in Shanshi, Huo Yan spent all day in the studio and Xu Yaosheng's coffee shop.

Xu Yaosheng, the boss, is very incompetent. He often acts as a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving everything to Huo Yangan, and going out on dates by himself.Huo Yan didn't have much interest in his new boyfriend, so he pushed him away and worked alone in the store, feeling quite clean.

"Yanyan, do you want some dim sum from Shengwu?" Xu Yaosheng didn't know that he thought he was making a fuss, so she asked happily, "I'll bring you some when I come back later?"

Huo Yan was busy washing dishes and cups, so he didn't see this. When he was free and had time to look at his phone, Xu Yaosheng had already returned with his new boyfriend.

Of course, he didn't forget the dim sum of Shengwu he mentioned.

Huo Yan just hung the cleaned cups on the rack one by one to dry, and came out of the room with the empty basin in his arms, just in time to see him being carried in through the back door.

"Yanyan, put some dim sum on the table for you... What's the matter, do you know each other?"

Huo Yan: "...um."

He and Jiang Sheng, who was carrying Xu Yaosheng behind his back, stared wide-eyed and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Sheng obviously didn't expect to meet him here, so he put Xu Yaosheng on the sofa and explained to break the embarrassing situation: "We are classmates."

He didn't seem to feel anything, Huo Yan couldn't help but reflect on whether he was overly sensitive.Xu Yaosheng's boyfriends are always based on face, and it's okay to like Jiang Sheng's style. He can't be nosy and tell Xu Yaosheng that this person just confessed his love to him on the road a few days ago. It would be too disappointing.

"Oh, that's fate." Xu Yaosheng sat on the sofa and said casually, then waved to Huo Yan, "Bring me a medicine box."

It was only then that Huo Yan realized that his ankle was swollen, so he hurried into the rest room to get the medicine box, and gave him the spray from it.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I was pinned by the bicycle while waiting in line for snacks." Xu Yaosheng sprayed himself a few times casually, then turned back to greet Jiang Sheng, "Sit down, I invite you to drink coffee."

Jiang Sheng glanced at Huo Yan, not knowing what he was thinking, but actually sat down.

Since he didn't feel embarrassed, Huo Yan had nothing to say. He moved the other washed tableware to the counter, then poked his head out and asked, "Jiang Sheng, what do you want to drink?"

"Iced Americano is fine, thank you."

He was making coffee at the counter, while Xu Yaosheng was still chatting with Jiang Sheng.Huo Yan couldn't see them from Huo Yan's perspective, probably because Jiang Sheng's voice was low, he could almost only hear Xu Yaosheng talking, and then deduced what they were talking about from the content of Xu Yaosheng's words.

"He's been working part-time with me for a while."

"..."

"I don't need new employees. Huo Xiaoyan may do it. With him, I can fish myself."

"..."

"Okay, you don't seem to be short of money, why do you have to come to work with me? ... Huo Yan is not short of money, he just helps me, we are friends."

Huo Yan deliberately made a noise, then turned out from behind the counter, turned a corner, and put the coffee on the table in front of Jiang Sheng.

"Thank you." Jiang Sheng said.

Huo Yan waved his hand, instead of looking at him, he first cared about Xu Yaosheng's feet: "Does your feet still hurt? Do you want to take you to the community hospital?"

Boss Xu sat pitifully on the sofa, his right foot was sprayed with medicine, but his ankle was still swollen and high.He leaned to the side and hugged Huo Yan, lifted his injured leg and looked at it: "Shouldn't I need to go to the hospital? I didn't move around. Fortunately, Jiang Sheng sent me back."

He smiled at Jiang Sheng, and the latter smiled back unnaturally, without saying anything.

Huo Yan observed the atmosphere between the two of them, and felt that he might be a bit of a light bulb, so he put Xu Yaosheng on the sofa, turned around and went back to his own work, leaving only Jiang Sheng to accompany him.When he came back after changing shifts with his colleagues, Xu Yaosheng was already sound asleep on the sofa, and someone had covered him with a blanket, and there was a post-it note on the wall next to him.

"I'm leaving first, and I'll see you again when I have time."

The inscription is Jiang Sheng.

Huo Yan looked down at Xu Yaosheng's ankle, and made sure there was nothing serious about it. After thinking about it, he tucked the blanket for him, and left work without touching the post-it note.

Yu Mingye is not in Shanshi, and there are still a lot of news about him in Shanshi. Even Huo Yan, who is studying hard at school, has heard about his new gossip—waking up early for a general education class, and the girls next to him have been discussing in whispers Yu Mingye's rumored girlfriend.

Of course, Huo Yan had no intention of eavesdropping on them, but their argument on this topic became more and more intense, and finally reached the point where he could hear it even with headphones on.As for the content of the gossip, it’s pretty much the same as before. It’s nothing more than two weeks after Mr. Yu disappeared, he was traveling in Northern Europe with a certain supermodel. The love period was sweet, and he was blessed by the elders in his family... These Huo Yan had read similar versions on the Internet before. Already, nothing new.

As for where Yu Mingye went during those two weeks, he was very clear.

Yu Mingye called him at night. Huo Yan had just come out of the studio and was having dinner in the school cafeteria. When he heard him mention that he went out to sea today, he thought of this gossip and thought it fit well. He couldn't help laughing.

Yu Mingye heard him laugh and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No," Huo Yan picked up the plate and walked out, and changed the subject without changing his expression, "How's the weather? It's a bit sunny in Shanshi today."

He himself didn't take it seriously, and of course he wouldn't tell Yu Mingye the gossip he heard. It was rare to have time to make a phone call, and it would be too wasteful to talk about such things.

"It's not bad, it's not raining." Yu Mingye said, "But the scenery is nice, I will bring you here next time when the weather is fine."

Huo Yan shook his head: "It's fine to go to sea, I'm from Huaigang, and I grew up by the sea since I was a child, have you forgotten?"

He was born and raised in Huaigang, and he used to live a relatively wealthy life. He has long been tired of watching the sea view or eating seafood, and he really doesn't have much interest in going to sea.

His tone seemed to be describing a dish that he was tired of eating, Yu Mingye laughed: "Then let's change to another sea?"

Huo Yan was noncommittal.

Obviously, Yu Mingye's trip to sea was not just for sightseeing, but he had other things to do, so he just chatted with him for a while before ending the call.Huo Yan ate half of the dishes on the plate, feeling that he had no appetite, and was about to buy a drink when someone put down a bottle of drink in front of him first.

He raised his head and met Jiang Sheng's face.

"Please drink, and apologize for what happened last time." Jiang Sheng first repeated the old saying, and then asked, "Can I sit here?"

In public places, even if there were a lot of empty tables around, Huo Yan couldn't stop him from sitting opposite him.He nodded, didn't say anything, and continued to eat his not-so-good dinner with his head down.

Jiang Sheng really sat down opposite him, and ate with him relatively silently for a while, as if he had finally conceived something to say, and spoke eagerly.

"Well... do you mind if I work part-time at 'Faltlight'?"

"Yaoguang" is Xu Yaosheng's store, Huo Yan didn't expect him to really have such a plan, and asked doubtfully, "Are you short of money?"

"...No." Jiang Sheng was choked by his straightforward questioning, he justified himself, and then gave him a very unconvincing answer, "It's just that I'm a little free recently, and I want to find something to do to pass the time .”

Huo Yan didn't think he was short of money, he just wanted to know why he was going, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with him, probably because of Xu Yaosheng.

Then he has nothing to say.

"Actually, you can just ask the boss directly. I'm just an ordinary employee." He stood up with the tray, thought for a while, and took the drink that Jiang Sheng handed over, "I'm full, let's go to work first .Don’t worry about what happened before, just pretend it never happened.”

Hearing that he was going to work, Jiang Sheng hurriedly took two mouthfuls of the rice in the bowl, then got up and walked out: "Wait, I'll be with you!"

Jiang Sheng was like a giant follower, Huo Yan couldn't get rid of him wherever he went, so he had no choice but to take this plaster to the store.It just so happened that Xu Yaosheng's foot injury hadn't healed yet, and she hopped around the store with a cane every day, and Huo Yan had to take care of him when he went to work. Go to work.

He changed into his uniform, tied the apron on his body, and turned around to hand over to his colleagues who were changing shifts.Jiang Sheng stood at the door of the staff lounge and looked at them, not knowing whether to enter or exit. After Huo Yan sent his colleagues away, he turned around. He was still standing there stupidly, tall and piercing, as if he had become A colonnade in the store.

"...What are you doing standing there?"

Jiang Sheng couldn't tell what he was doing there, touched his nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "I don't know anyone else..."

"The boss is probably playing game consoles in the back." Huo Yan raised his chin towards the rest room where Xu Yaosheng was stationed all year round, "You know him, go."

Finally finding a place for Jiang Sheng, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start working.Business was pretty good tonight, and the colleague who just got off work left him a few unfinished orders, and he had to hurry up to make them up, and he really didn't have time to deal with Jiang Sheng.

Let him and Xu Yaosheng talk to each other.Huo Yan thought.

The night shift is from 09:30 to [-]:[-], and [-]:[-] is considered a watershed. After this time, the number of customers gradually decreases.Huo Yan freed up his hands to clean up the cups, plates and dishes. Passing by the break room, he saw two people sitting together playing games. He didn't expect his new colleague to help. He shook his head and went into the back kitchen on his own. Start washing dishes while preparing materials for tomorrow.

In the end, in the middle of washing, the boss on crutches moved here to inspect the work himself: "Are you tired, Huo Xiaoyan?"

"Not tired." Huo Yan said without raising his head, "The game is over?"

"You're working here, and I'm playing in the back. I always feel uneasy." Xu Yaosheng teased him against the door frame, "Whether you want to eat or not, I'll treat you."

Huo Yan rinsed the last cup, straightened up holding the basin full of tableware, and turned to look at him.

"You want to treat Jiang Sheng to supper, right?" he said sharply.
