    ?

    On the weekend morning, it was actually already morning, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly became restless, vibrating and spinning, and the rattling sound woke up its owner from the chaotic dream.

    Xiao Shi closed her eyes and reached out to touch it. Subconsciously, she thought it was her boyfriend's morning call, and when she picked it up, she answered vaguely, "Corning?"

    But what came from inside was another man's voice, with some western Yunnan accent, and the speed of speaking was a little fast because of enthusiasm, "Ashi, I am Dongzi! Come to my store today if you are free! I  There are two new flavors, come and try them!"

    Only then did Xiaoshi wake up leisurely. It turned out to be Han Dong.

    The owner of this bakery shop who likes to innovate, with a strong sense of competition, introduces new ones from time to time, and looks for Xiao Shi as a guinea pig, saying that she learns Chinese and can accurately describe the taste experience-God knows, is it so.  Xiaoshi didn't remember what flavors he had tasted for a long time, but he just remembered being overwhelmed by his various ideas.

    Xiaoshi Nuonuo agreed.  Over there, he was still immersed in the joy of new inventions, "I'll listen to your opinion this time, and I'm using products from my hometown. Hey, when will you come?"

    "Well, about eleven o'clock."

    "Oh, huh? Ah Shi, you haven't woken up yet?" On the other side of the phone, I guessed from the time given by the girl and the nasal tone.

    "" Default.

    "Did I wake you up?" Han Dong became a little uneasy.

    "No, I overslept today, I should have woken up earlier."

    Xiaoshi really doesn't have the habit of sleeping in. Even on weekends, she must get up before eight o'clock and finish her grooming.

    Han Dong's speech speed obviously slowed down, with a trace of concern, "Then you sleep a little longer, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I'm in the store." Before hanging up the phone, he added: "Call Xiaokang together  .¡±

    Corning?  Xiao Shi's heart sank.  Last night he lost his temper so much, he didn't know when he would calm down, and even if his anger disappeared, he didn't know when he would be willing to go down the steps

    After hanging up the phone, Xiao Shi lost all sleepiness, so she put on her clothes and went to the ground, and opened the window.

    The cool and humid wind poured in, and the trees facing the street were full of fresh green.

    She squinted her eyes, feeling the wind blowing her hair against her face.

    Spring breeze, should it dye the Nanxi River green again?

    Come back every spring, but we can never go back to the place where we started

    This spring in Shanghai has been exceptionally rainy.

    It was another slightly cloudy and rainy weather, the sky was gray, the air was humid, and the street view seemed to be watermarked.  The passers-by were in a hurry, and they didn't look any more relaxed and happy because of the weekend.

    On this small street, there is a coffee shop. Due to the dark sky, artificial lighting has probably been activated.  The slightly yellowish light shines through those chic European-style panes, and under the cool-toned sky, it makes people feel warm and kind.

    Between these cafes, there is a small cake shop hidden among them - "Dongyang Cake Shop", and there is another line of small words "Authentic Yunnan Handmade Pies" below.  The inconspicuous door face is ingeniously decorated in the style of a log cabin, and it is crowded with the surrounding cafes, and there is no sense of disobedience.  The lights in the small shop are bright, and delicate round cakes are being baked warmly.

    The owner of the cake shop is an authentic Yunnan boy with a round face and regular features, always with a simple and honest smile, which makes people feel happy for no reason.

    At this moment, he is wearing a white hat and an apron around his waist, and he is busy in the back kitchen with a pastry chef-kneading dough, mixing, making cakes, molding, and scones. He is very busy.

    A little bit of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, but his eyes were full of joyful light.  This is his career, and he will rely on his hardworking hands to create a splendid world in this metropolis.

    A girl appeared at the door of the bakery, with a long loose sweater hanging down to her knees, covering most of her body.  She belonged to that kind of small skeleton, so shrunk in the baggy clothes, she looked even more petite and thin.

    The girl was carrying a shoulder bag in one hand, and a large umbrella that did not match her in the other, the tip of which had been dragged on the ground.

    She looked a little tired, with two light blue petals printed under her eyes, and her lips were slightly purple from the cold air, which made people feel pity.

    The girl looked around the store, but didn't see the person she was looking for. Finally, her eyes fell on the female shop assistant behind the checkout counter who was also looking at her at the moment.

    The girl was Guo Xuemei, two years younger than her, but her shoulder-length hair was in a high ponytail, and a lot of broken hair fell down. Her skin was a little dark, and she was somewhat handsome.Turning around in a hurry, the two lips are very thin, revealing a sense of wit.

    After seeing the guests who entered the door, Guo Xuemei's pretty face sank, and she said with lowered eyelids: "You can find brother Dongzi, he is busy at the back, just wait a while." She said, taking care of herself  He played with his mobile phone freely, neither announcing the arrival of a guest nor stepping forward to entertain him.

    The girl didn't mind, she walked to the long table by the window, sat on a high round stool, and hung the umbrella on the edge of the table.

    At this time, a customer came in, and the clerk immediately came out from behind the counter and leaned forward, with a friendly smile and a crisp voice, "What flavor do you like?  Oh, it's for the elderly, right? Then our health care series  Very good"

    After some introduction and recommendation, she was very enthusiastic, and her attitude was completely different from the attitude just now.

    The girl sitting by the window watched secretly, not surprised.

    Ordinarily, this Guo Xuemei is half of her hometown, from Lijiang, Yunnan.  At the beginning, the little girl came to Shanghai alone to work as a waiter in a restaurant. She had sharp teeth and was squeezed out by her sisters who worked together.  Once when Han Dong went to that restaurant for dinner, he happened to meet her in a verbal battle with one against three. Her quick response and sharp eloquence made Han Dong stunned for a while.  Later, I heard that she was also from Yunnan, so I wanted to help the fellow villagers, but the bakery business was too busy, so I let her follow me.

    However, when these things happened, Xiao Shi was studying in Beijing.  Anyway, as soon as she returned to Shanghai, this girl was already here, and she kept saying "Brother Dongzi" every time she spoke, and she always treated her with a loving and ignorant attitude.

    Xiao Shi secretly knew that this female shop assistant had a crush on the male boss in all likelihood, and regarded her as a rival in love.  But she couldn't justify herself, so as not to embarrass everyone.

    The boss who was busy in the back kitchen leaned out when he heard voices in front of him.  He saw the girl sitting on the round stool farthest from his line of sight at a glance, a smile burst into the corners of his eyes and brows instantly, and even his voice was full of joy, "A Shi, you are here!"

    As Han Dong said, he was about to go forward to say hello, but suddenly remembered something, and retreated in again.

    When he came out again after a while, he had already replaced the oil-stained cook's outfit.  The lower body is khaki pants, the upper body is a maroon sweater, and the collar of the shirt is exposed. It looks clean and warm, and looks like a pastry shop owner.

    He held a tray in his hand with a few freshly baked pancakes on it, walked up to Xiaoshi with a happy face, and asked happily, "Where is Xiaokang?"

    "He didn't come with him."

    "What, what's the matter?"

    "Hmm." Xiaoshi's voice was barely audible.

    Han Dong smiled and said: "It's really rare, I thought, for him, nothing is important to accompany you!"

    Xiao Shi also wanted to smile cooperatively, but the corners of her mouth were unnatural, so she lowered her head slightly and made a helpless expression towards the ground.

    It was only then that Han Dong noticed that her expression was very unnatural, and the way she lowered her head and eyes was obviously not shy, but seemed to be covering up something.

    No matter how dull the senses are, they will be sensitive due to familiarity. He has known her for more than 20 years, not to mention, his dullness seems to only be directed at others, never at her.

    At this time, when Han Dong looked at her face again, he realized how shocking the haggard pallor was.  He restrained his joking tone, lowered his voice and asked, "You didn't have any trouble with Xiaokang, did you?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
