Chapter Text
At the end of the evening self-study, Shen Jiu cleaned up the table and turned to look at Shao Mingxuan subconsciously.
In the past two days, his feet were inconvenient, and almost always Shao Mingxuan accompanied him when he left the school and crossed the road. It was only when he was about to speak that he remembered that his feet were already healed. Inexplicably lost in his heart. Just as he was about to say hello and leave by himself, the same table had already stood up.
Shao Mingxuan closed the cap of a pen and threw it into the pen holder, looked at Zhu Ying Zhi and said, "Okay? Let's go then."
"My feet have--"
Shao Mingxuan has skillfully supported him.
"..."
Bicycles are parked downstairs.
When getting in the car, Shen Jiu hesitated for a while, looked at the distance from the teaching building to the school gate, felt it was a little far, and decided to sit on the back seat of the bicycle.
"Then I'll go first," Shang Hualei greeted them and turned back to the dormitory.
Shao Mingxuan nodded, feeling the slightly tight clothes being grabbed around his waist, and quietly hooked his lips.
The bicycle drove out of the school gate, crossed a road, and approached the side of the road where Uncle Shen parked.
Shen Jiu habitually let go of his hand and planned to jump down, "Thank--"
A thank you has not yet exited, the bicycle suddenly made a sharp turn when it came to the side of the road.
Shen Jiu lost his balance for a while, his hand that had just been released instinctively tightened, and he hugged Shao Mingxuan's waist tightly. "Go... where?"
The warmth from behind bumped into him, Shao Mingxuan smiled with satisfaction, and said without turning his head, "Take you somewhere."
"..."
So where are their going? Shen Jiu frowned. Liu Qingge's habit of speaking incoherently never changed.
The bicycle suddenly accelerated, Shen Jiu held him to maintain his balance, and turned to look at the people who were still waiting on the side of the road.
Obviously, the sudden turn and change of lanes just scared not only Shen Jiu, but also Uncle Shen, who had been waiting for Zhu Ying Zhi. Seeing that his young master was "abducted" away, Uncle Shen quickly got into the driver's seat and had already driven up.
Shao Mingxuan seemed to notice something, and took Zhu Ying Zhi directly into a narrow alley that a car could not enter.
Uncle Shen stopped at the entrance of the alley, the car window slid down, revealing Uncle Shen's frantic face, "Young Master!"
Shen Jiu didn't know what Shao Mingxuan wanted to do, so he could only turn around and shout to Uncle Shen, "I'm fine, Uncle Shen. Go back first!"
Uncle Shen : "..."
"Pfft..." Shao Mingxuan laughed in front of him and said, "How do you know you're okay? Aren't you afraid that I'll abduct you and sell it?"
Shen Jiu hugged him and said, "I'm not worth much."
"..."
After a while of silence, Shen Jiu said again, "Where are we going?"
Shao Mingxuan turned another corner in front of him and said, "We'll be there soon."
He said right away, really was right away. The bike quickly stopped beside a guardrail.
"Arrive."
"..."
After the bicycle stopped, Shen Jiu jumped out of the back seat.
As soon as got up, he saw a piece of water reflecting the bright night in the city. Not far away, a wind and rain bridge stood on the water and reflected in the water. The lights were more dazzling than the old palace.
Gongshui County got its name because of the Gongshui River that runs through the whole city. Shen Jiu has always known that there is such a river in Gongshui County, but he has never been there.
Shao Mingxuan actually brought him to the river. Shen Jiu turned his head and glanced at Shao Mingxuan, happily ran to the guardrail.
Lying on the edge of the guardrail, the scene on the river became clearer. The water surface was sparkling, and the scene reflected in it twisted, as if it was a different world isolated from one world.
Shao Mingxuan put the bicycle away, strode towards him and said, "It's been a long time since you transferred schools, haven't you come out to play yet?"
Zhu Yingzhi looked at him and said, "How do you know?"
Yes, have been studying since transferred. Weekends are either at school or at the hotel. Apart from going to Shao Mingxuan's milk tea shop last weekend, he hasn't been anywhere yet.
Shao Mingxuan said, "Although our county is small, the night view is not bad."
Zhu Yingzhi looked at the large fountain surrounded by neon lights in the middle of the river, and nodded in agreement. "Yes."
His joy was beyond words, and Shao Mingxuan followed with his lips curved, leaning over and said, "I don't know if this is an apology gift but, is the young master satisfied?"
"Huh?"
What apology?
Shao Mingxuan looked at him and said, "You haven't spoken to me all night."
Shen Jiu subconsciously said, "How can I--"
Talking for a while. He didn't seem to have said a word to Shao Mingxuan tonight.
"I'm..." Shen Jiu said, "too much homework tonight." And what does this have to do with apology?
Shao Mingxuan said, "You didn't ask me a question either."
"..."
That's because the homework questions are not difficult. He blinked in a daze and suddenly said, "Do you think I'm angry?"
Shao Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Shen Jiu said, "I'm not angry."
"You..."
"I just don't know what to say to you."
"..."
Shen Jiu felt that Shao Mingxuan was too sensitive. Self-righteous suspicion of him. Make fun of him by talking to himself. Now misunderstanding him and getting angry, he brought him to the river on his own initiative.
He suddenly looked at Shao Mingxuan, his face became a little more serious and said, "I'm afraid to talk to you, if a word is not good and you will misunderstand something. I'm helping you, but I don't mean anything else, just take you as a friend, but at the same time you don't like Wei Zhaolin."
When he was looking for someone to teach Wei Zhaolin a lesson, he didn't even think about using this to gain his favorability. So he said it very confidently.
"I know that there are many people who like you, and there must be some who approach you with bad intentions, but those who are not supported, if you are like this now, does not mean that you will be like this in the future. You will not be worse than anyone in the future. You can't tell who is taking care of who, so you don't have to pay attention to what someone like Wei Zhaolin says."
Shao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shen Jiu paused for a while, then hesitated, "I mean, do you understand?"
Shao Mingxuan, who originally wanted to bring someone out to apologize because he said something wrong in the afternoon: "..."
He curled his lips and smiled, "Do you think that I will not be worse than them in the future?"
Shen Jiu said, "Of course."
Even if you don't know Shao Mingxuan's ending, with his current academic performance, he will definitely do a lot in the future!
Shao Mingxuan looked at the firmness in his eyes and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. This young master had more confidence in him than himself.
He didn't refute Zhu Yingzhi's words, but smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
"..."
Shen Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, Shao Mingxuan should no longer doubt and test him in the future, right?
He turned to look at the Wind and Rain Bridge on the river. The night view of Gongshui County is really beautiful.
At this time, Shao Mingxuan tilted his head again, with playfulness in his eyes. "Then now, do you know what to say to me? Are you still afraid?"
"..."
Did he accidentally wrap himself in it? He was stunned by the question.
However, Shao Mingxuan had already turned around and pulled the bicycle over again, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, come on up."
"?"
Shen Jiu said inexplicably, "Where are we going?"
"Take you around the river."
Zhu Ying Zhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he sat up obediently.
Shao Mingxuan waited for him to sit firmly, then turned around and asked, "Have you been to the beach before?"
Shen Jiu shook his head and said, "No. I didn't go out much before."
Shao Mingxuan thought of his weak body again. The hand holding the handlebars of the bicycle tightened, and he reminded softly, "Then hide from the wind, don't catch a cold."
Shen Jiu nodded in agreement, grasping the clothes on his waist.
Near the riverside in the middle of the night, there are not many pedestrians walking on the road.
A bicycle glided by the river.
The evening wind was very cold, and Shen Jiu raised his head for a while and still felt cold, so he shrunk his head behind Shao Mingxuan's, feeling that Shao Mingxuan at this moment was really very reliable.
The bicycle carried the two people around the river, and when they sent them back to the hotel, they passed by the B&B.
Does he want to open his mouth and let people move back in?
The bikes were parked downstairs in the hotel. When Shen Jiu jumped out of the back seat, his legs felt a little stiff. He was sitting sideways in the back seat. Hanging with the legs in the air, although it doesn't take much effort, but the position has been maintained for a long time, and there is no place for the legs to rest, which is inevitably a bit uncomfortable. He couldn't help kicking his legs.
Shao Mingxuan understood what happened to him at a glance, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you up."
Shen Jiu refused. "No need, it's so late..."
"Let's go."
Shao Mingxuan put his hand on his back lightly.
Shen Jiu: "..."
It's like taking care of a child who can't walk well. Shen Jiu let him half-push himself into the Hotel lobby.
The hall is very quiet, except for a young lady at the front desk who is working diligently, there is no one else.
The elevator is also empty. Going up to the floor where Zhu Ying Zhi lived, in the quiet corridor, under the cold dim light, the footsteps of two people echoed in the corridor at different heights. People with advanced brains may make up for a paranormal accident.
Shao Mingxuan felt that he had something called conscience being stabbed hard. He lowered his head and set his eyes on Zhu Yingzhi, "Are you still used to staying in a Hotel?"
Shen Jiu walked upstairs all the way, and there was no discomfort after the movement of his legs and feet. He replied, "It's good, it's the same wherever you live."
People who sleep in Hospital wards all the year round, as long as they are clean, he does not choose where to live.
Shao Mingxuan: "..."
But the Homestay is closer to the school. He consciously found a reason to persuade Zhu Yingzhi, and was about to speak when a bell rang.
"..."
Shen Jiu was taking out his room card to open the door, when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at it, then glanced at Shao Mingxuan apologetically, and lowered his head to answer the phone, "Hello."
"A-Ying? Is class over?"
There was a clear female voice on the phone. In the quiet corridor, even if the speakerphone was not turned on, the person next to him could hear it clearly.
Shen Jiu responded. "Hn."
Over there, she smiled and said, "I heard that you have transferred to our city. My mom has wanted to call you for a long time, but she is afraid of disturbing your rest. How are you now? Where do you live? Are you still adapting to the new school? Weekends... Are you free to come home for dinner? Auntie will cook something for you."
"..."
A series of problems did not even bring ventilation. The person on the phone is Zhu Ying Zhi's Aunt. The daughter of his grandfather's sister.
Although Grandpa only had one daughter (his mother), he also had other relatives and descendants. Among them, his aunt, used to have the best relationship with his mother. Because he feel that being called "cousin aunt" is unfriendly and unpleasant, he has always called herself "little aunt" since he was a child.
Shen Jiu is most afraid of dealing with this cousin who seems to have social bullshit.
He paused and said stiffly, "No need, Auntie, we don't have much time on weekends, so we may not be able to come to the city. I'm staying in a Hotel now, and it's fine..."
"Staying in a Hotel? How can you stay in a Hotel?" There was a moment of shock, "Did Zhu Xingqiu arrange it for you? I knew he was unreliable! How could there be such an irresponsible father? A-Ying, wait, Auntie, call that bastard..."
"No Auntie," Shen Jiu felt a headache, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "I want to live in the Hotel myself, it has nothing to do with him."
There was a pause and said, "You... How can you stay in a Hotel?"
Shen Jiu said, "The Hotel is very clean and comfortable, and it is also close to the School."
"Then you can't live in a Hotel." The phone muttered and said, "How about I buy you a suite near your School?"
Shen Jiu: "..."
So tired.
"I really don't need, Auntie. The Hotel is really good, and I won't be here for long."
The aunt asked suspiciously, "Can't you stay for a long time?"
"Yeah, I'll go back in a year at most."
'Either go back vertically, or go back horizontally,' he continued in his heart.
Always going back.
No need to buy any House.
Next to him, Shao Mingxuan leaned on the edge of the corridor, with a slight smile on his face listening to Zhu Yingzhi's timid words in front of his elders, he suddenly heard his last words and turned to look at him.
Zhu Yingzhi didn't notice at all, and continued talking to the person on the phone.
Finally, the aunt's idea of buying a House for him was finally dispelled, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up.
Shen Jiu let out a long sigh of relief. Looking up, he found Shao Mingxuan looking at him. He blinked, "What's wrong?"
Shao Mingxuan looked at him and said nothing. He thought to himself: This young master will leave sooner or later. His time was clear, and when he came to Gongshui County, there really was something going on. But even if there is no purpose, after three years of High School, after the College entrance examination, each has to go his own way. They were destined to take different paths.
What is he going to do now? Shao Mingxuan smiled suddenly and said, "It's nothing, it was delivered successfully. I'll--"
"Young Master!"
"..."
Uncle Shen's anxious voice came from the elevator entrance in the corridor.
The two turned their heads at the same time, and saw Uncle Shen's sturdy body of 1.86 meters approaching at a very fast pace, standing directly in front of his young master, watching the "abductor" in front of him vigilantly. The "abductor" is very self-aware. He looked at Zhu Yingzhi and said, "I'll go first, and I'll abduct you tomorrow."
Shen Jiu: "..."
Uncle Shen's eyes widened instantly, and the vigilance on his face became more obvious.
Shen Jiu wanted to invite Shao Mingxuan to sit in, but when he thought it was too late, he didn't speak. Watching Shao Mingxuan enter the elevator, Shen Jiu retracted his gaze and looked at the person standing in front of him like a doorman.
"Uncle Shen, what are you doing?"
Uncle Shen turned his head to look at him, his vigilant face instantly collapsed, "Young Master, how can you go for a walk outside so late? What should I do if something goes wrong?"
"It'll be fine."
After the words came out, Shen Jiu was stunned for a moment. How did he come to such a firm conclusion?
In late autumn a year ago, he also secretly ran out of the House at night, and after being found by the servants, he developed a high fever for three days and three nights. But he came back from the river today, and his body didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all.
On the contrary, felt very happy because was relieved.
...is it Shao Mingxuan's fault?
Back in the room, Shen Jiu first opened WeChat.
When Shao Mingxuan took him for a ride by the river just now, he recorded a short video by the river and sent it to Zhu Ying Xin, and he received more than two responses.
It's rare.
He opened the dialog box, saw his twin sister's reply, pursed his lips and smiled.
[Xiao Xin]: Where are you? Why is it windy?
[Xiao Xin] : Have you forgotten that you suffer from an autoimmune disease that is more severe than our late mother?
[Xiao Xin]: It's too late, go back now!
[Xiao Xin]: Don't catch a cold! Or I'll kill you with my own hands.
So she was as worried as Uncle Shen, although caring. But he sometimes wants to go out and have a look. Shen Jiu paused for a while and replied to her: Thanks for your concern. I have returned to the Hotel.
He clicked on the video and watched it again. On a whim, he long-pressed forward and clicked Shao Mingxuan's name from the nearest contacts.
Downstairs in the hotel, just as Shao Mingxuan stepped on his bicycle, his phone suddenly vibrated twice. He took out his phone and opened it.
Familiar night scene.
Familiar perspective.
The slowly moving scene in the video was taken by someone behind him when he was carrying Zhu Ying Zhi.
To maintain balance, one arm wrapped around his waist, tighter than usual. He couldn't even remember what Zhu Yingzhi looked like when he held the phone to record the video, he only remembered the temperature on his waist. Soon there were two more vibrations.
Shao Mingxuan exits the video and swipes down the screen.
[Ying]: Thank you.
【Ying】: I had a great time today.
Shao Mingxuan: "..."
He curled his lips into a smile and typed a reply.
Shen Jiu received the news very quickly, and he opened it quickly, impatiently with what he didn't even notice.
[Shao Mingxuan]: Next time hold it tighter, the camera is too shaken.
Shen Jiu: "…"
The video he worked so hard to record.
The beauty he was eager to share.
Nobody cares.
No one has noticed that the progress bar in the system interface has quietly increased by a few percentages, dropped by a few percentages, and finally stopped at 27%.
A brace. The system once wondered if it was a bug! The tip was finally released at a stable value.
[Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained Bai Yueguang's favorability +2%, and the current favorability is 27%.]
Back to school the next day, the classroom was as lively as ever.
Shen Jiu originally thought that Wei Zhaolin's matter, after he was taken away by the police, except for the occasional discussion in the school, it was basically forgotten. Unexpectedly, after one night, there is a follow-up!
"I heard that there is new evidence about Wei Zhaolin. A girl who transferred from Gongshui County two years ago suddenly came back and wants to sue Wei Zhaolin for sexual assault, because he was sixteen years old when he committed the crime. Maybe not just sent to a juvenile detention center."
"Who is it? She came back so coincidentally, she want Wei Zhaolin to be punished for several crimes? This is a great move!"
"It doesn't matter who she is, Wei Zhaolin deserves it anyway. For someone like him, the more severe the sentence, the better."
When discussing this matter in the classroom, many people turned their attention to him. When his tablemate set his eyes on him for the third time, Shen Jiu couldn't help but raised his head and said, "It's not me this time."
Shao Mingxuan said, "Well, I know."
Shen Jiu: "..."
Know what else you're looking at?
Shao Mingxuan smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you, do you have any plans for the weekend?"
Weekend? Shen Jiu thought about it, he didn't seem to have anything to arrange.
Seeing him thinking, Shao Mingxuan said again, "Do you still want to drink the milk tea you drank last time?"
The sweet and glutinous things in memory instantly stimulated the taste buds, Zhu Yingzhi's eyes lit up, "Think!"
Shao Mingxuan said, "Then I'll go back and make it for you this weekend."
Shen Jiu: "..."
Go back and do it for him...
Meaning, can he go to Shao Mingxuan's milk tea shop on weekends? He doesn't have to stay at school alone, or go back to the hotel?
With undisguised joy on Zhu Yingzhi's face, he nodded and said, "Okay."
Shao Mingxuan looked at the happy look on his face and was slightly startled.
After returning to God, was a little distressed and a little helpless. He thought to himself: Still kidnapped. Then thought: turn it, turn it, turn it.
On the big weekend, the young master stayed in the school alone, which is also pitiful.
In the early morning of the weekend, some students rushed to the Internet cafe impatiently, and some students were still sleeping soundly in the dormitory.
Shen Jiu did not have the habit of staying in bed. Neither did Shao Mingxuan. He got up early and recited two classical Chinese texts. At eight o'clock, Shen Jiu sat on the back seat of the bicycle that Shao Mingxuan came to carry him under Uncle Shen's resentful eyes.
Although the milk tea shop in the morning is not as busy as in the afternoon. But today's milk tea shop is a bit more deserted.
In the Shangming Milk Tea Shop, Shao Mingxuan's mother carefully wiped the counter behind the counter.
On a high swivel chair in front of the counter, a woman sat with a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and threw the gnawed melon seed shells on the cleaned ground.
She said in her mouth, "Yujie, tell me how much money can you make throughout the year when you open this milk tea shop? The person I introduced to you is a big Businessman. A Boss, you can earn several million a year! Isn't this better than opening a shop with your hard work?"
Shao Yujie raised her head and looked at her eyes, and said with a look of embarrassment, "Don't throw melon seed shells on the ground, I--"
"There are no guests now. Wouldn't it be alright to clean it up later? And no guests dare to come to your door now."
"..."
Shao Yuhan looked at her dissatisfiedly, "Did you hear what I said? You are thirty-five this year, you are not too young, and you have such an old child. What to be picky about?"
Shao Yujie frowned and said, "He's in his fifties this year, and he's still married..."
"What's wrong with married? He has promised me that as long as you are willing to marry him, he will divorce his wife immediately, and what's wrong with being over fifty? Qiu Shaoping was forty when he married you, and now it's fifty a lot, didn't you marry him back then? What are you doing so hypocritical now?"
"..."
Shao Yujie wiped the counter's hand for a while without refuting, but her face sank, "I won't go with him, you go."
"Oh, you..."
Seeing her sullen face, Shao Yuhan suddenly stopped eating melon seeds and said softly, "Okay, it's me who said the wrong thing, I know you had no choice but to think about Shao Mingxuan even if you don't think about yourself. Ah, your milk tea shop is under investigation again, and it is obvious that someone maliciously targeted you! Can you guarantee that the person targeting you will not attack Shao Mingxuan?"
Shao Yujie's face changed suddenly.
Seeing that she was moved, Shao Yuhan said again, "You are orphan. A widowed mother, no matter how good Shao Mingxuan is, can he compare with those in the society? He is just a nerd, what is the use of good grades? If you don’t still go to work for others in the future, do you still expect him to take you to the top? Listening to your sister advice, following Boss Wu, is it better than being the boss' wife?"
"Have you said enough?" Shao Yujie couldn't bear it any longer, she raised her head and said, "Let's go after you've said enough, I still want to do business."
"..."
She made it clear that she didn't want to eat, Shao Yuhan was also annoyed, stood up and said, "Shao Yujie! I only think of you because you are my own sister. You can't open a milk tea shop now, so don't you? What else can you do when you are married? Boss Wu is so rich and good to you, that is the good man you can meet only after you cultivated fortune in your previous life, don't be ashamed!"
"Since he is such a good man, why doesn't my aunt marry him?" A laughing voice came from the door of the milk tea shop.
Shao Yuhan's arrogant expression suddenly stiffened, she turned her head slowly, and saw the person who was pushing the door and walked in, her face changed suddenly.
She turned to look at Shao Yujie, who was also stunned, her chest heaving a few times, and she frowned and whispered, "Think about what I told you, I'll go first today."
After speaking, she almost hurriedly walked out of the front of the high chair, intending to go straight out. However, the person at the door did not let her go.
Shao Mingxuan looked kindly and said, "Auntie came here after a long time, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Shao Yuhan said with a stiff face, "I have something to do when I go back."
"In such a hurry to go back, can't the hole that my uncle embezzled public funds be filled?"
Shao Mingxuan's light-hearted words made Shao Yuhan's eyes instantly anxious, her breathing was stagnant for a long time, and she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Shao Mingxuan chuckled and said, "Am I talking nonsense? I don't know how much the good man in your mouth gave you as a lobbyist?"
"You--"
Shao Yuhan's face changed several times, but she couldn't say anything when she saw Shao Mingxuan's half-smile, but her eyes were bottomless. It was hard to imagine that Shao Mingxuan was just a high school student. How did he know about the family affairs?
Shao Yuhan didn't dare to ask, lowered his head and said solemnly, "Get out of the way."
Shao Mingxuan did not move.
Shao Yuhan said anxiously, "Shao Mingxuan! I am your elder!"
"Elder?" Shao Mingxuan pretended to be surprised. "You have already forgotten what you said a few years ago? Well, your memory is not very good. If you have time, let my uncle take you to check it out?"
"You--" Shao Yuhan's face was ashen.
A few years ago, when Shao Yujie was suffering from unbearable domestic violence, she once took Shao Mingxuan to find her own sister. At that time, Shao Yuhan knew exactly what her sister was living, but she avoided them for fear of being caught by him. Implicated, she called the man in the bar directly, and threatened that she did not have such a sister who was pregnant before marriage!
Shen Jiu, who followed Shao Mingxuan into the store was shocked by the scene in front of him. He didn't know what had happened in the past. But he heard what had just been said. This woman is Shao Mingxuan's aunt. She and Shao Mingxuan's mother are sisters. Is she going to introduce her sister to a married man in his fifties? Is this something a human can do? Come on, it's not ancient China anymore!
Shao Yuhan was ripped off by Shao Mingxuan. She couldn't bear her face, and she didn't dare to target Shao Mingxuan. She could only turn her head to look at Shao Yujie and said angrily, "This is the good son you taught? He has no education at all. He is talking to his elders!"
"You are educated to pimp people?"
A slightly cold voice sounded behind Shao Mingxuan. Because of his height, Zhu Yingzhi just stood behind Shao Mingxuan, and the two people in the milk tea shop did not see another person other than Shao Mingxuan at the door. He suddenly made a sound, and Shao Mingxuan turned his head slightly.
Zhu Yingzhi was exposed to the sight of the two people, and he looked blankly at the human who was eager to leave. "People who are educated are qualified to judge the education of others, do you have it?"
"..."
Shao Yuhan looked at the boy who suddenly appeared. He is thinner and shorter than Shao Mingxuan, his voice is not loud, and he doesn't look very energetic, but he has a noble temperament in his bones. It made people feel inferior just standing in front of him.
Thinking of what he just said, Shao Yuhan said with an ugly face, "You... Who are you?"
Shen Jiu said, "People who are more educated than you."
"..."
Shao Mingxuan: "..."
He couldn't help laughing. Even Shao Yujie behind the counter couldn't help but smile.
Only Shao Yuhan's face turned blue and white, white and red, "You--"
She couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily to Shao Mingxuan, "Get out of the way, are you still planning to detain me illegally?"
Shao Mingxuan was about to speak but Shao Yujie said, "A-Ming, let her go out."
"..."
Probably thinking that with the presence of an "outsider" like Zhu Yingzhi, Shao Yujie didn't want to let the "cloak" stay in the milk tea shop.
Shao Mingxuan glanced at Shao Yujie, but didn't move. He raised his chin to Shao Yuhan and said, "Clean up the shells of the melon seeds."
Shao Yuhan said with a cold face, "Don't go too far!"
Shao Mingxuan smiled at her, "And the milk tea fee is settled."
"..."
"Auntie, if you don't want to go out yet, it's business hours, and we can treat you well."
Shao Yuhan: "..."
Her chest rose and fell violently, and she almost had a heart attack. But there are no customers in the store now, and there is no chance for her to make trouble. She couldn't beat Shao Mingxuan with brute force. She had seen Shao Mingxuan and others doing their work.
After several measurements, she could only turn around and take a tool to clean the melon seed shells in front of the counter.
Before going out, she also said harsh words to the mother and son, saying, "When your milk tea shop closes and there is nowhere to go, don't cry and beg me!"
Shao Mingxuan didn't care and smiled at her. "Auntie walk slowly, don't forget the road if you have a bad memory."
Shao Yuhan: "..."
Isn't that disguised to say she's Alzheimer's? She is only thirty-seven! Shao Yuhan gritted his teeth bitterly, opened the door and left the milk tea shop.
Outside the door, they bumped into Shang Hualei and Lu Zheyu who were rushing to work. When Shang Hualei saw Shao Yuhan, he had a bad look on his face and walked into the milk tea shop and said, "Why is she here again? Is the ghost lingering? Is Auntie okay?"
Shao Yujie and Shang Hualei are already very familiar with them. She smiled behind the counter and said, "I'm fine."
Shang Hualei turned to look at the empty milk tea shop again, wondering, "Why is there no one today?"
Shao Yujie came out from behind the counter and sighed, "The TV station reported that someone drank the milk tea in the store, the drug test was positive, and the case is still under investigation."
"..."
"Investigate again?" Shang Hualei said, "That investigation was done last time, right?"
"Milk tea has been investigated," Shao Yujie said. "Now the investigation is about the drug test of that person. She is a well-known model. She said that the problem occurred when she drank the milk tea in the store."
No one cares about the truth of the matter. But if a socially influential public figure says that, things will inevitably go up. If things get bigger, the milk tea shop in that population will be affected.
No one will risk their lives, and the milk tea shop has accidents again and again. Even old customers who are willing to believe in them will not dare to patronize them again for a while.
Shang Hualei understood what happened, and immediately scolded, "Who the fuck? Which model? She said she was drinking milk tea because of the problem? We just passed the security check, and the relevant departments didn't come out to clarify?"
"You said the case is still under investigation, but you never try to answer questions?" Lu Zheyu suddenly said a word.
Shang Hualei frowned. The food safety department has issued a public notice, which proves that the raw materials of the milk tea shop are no problem. But the model insisted that her test result was because she drank milk tea from a milk tea shop. Until the problem was found out, the relevant departments could not produce evidence to refute the model's words, and naturally they could not make any clarification.
It is their attitude that they did not stop the milk tea shop from continuing to operate. But what people see is not attitude.
There are no customers in the store, and those who come to work are idle.
Shen Jiu looked at the empty seats in the milk tea shop, but thought of another question. That model named Shao Mingxuan's milk tea shop, and it was definitely not a coincidence that she said those words. But the last person who reported that there was poppy powder in the milk tea raw material was Wei Zhaolin.
Wei Zhaolin had already entered, and his father and uncle were too busy to take care of themselves.
Who will it be this time?
