Chapter 31 Chapter 31
Walking through a small passage behind the bar is the staff rest area and the back kitchen.
The back kitchen usually places some drinks and fruit snacks for customers.Their employees sometimes ran back to look for food when they were hungry in the middle of the night. Over time, when Su Yao bought goods later, sometimes he would ask people to bring some snacks, biscuits or something.Later, when Ye Chen came, he was impatient to take care of the affairs of the store, so he handed over some of them directly to Ye Chen, and hid away by himself.He is not afraid of trusting others.
Ye Chen took Lou Xiaoqi around a couple of times and arrived at the back kitchen.
Xiao Liu, a temporary worker in the back kitchen, was making fruit plates today. Seeing Ye Chen, who usually doesn't come here often, came in, he quickly stood up and greeted him, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, I'm just hungry and came to find something to eat." Ye Chen quickly waved his hand to let him continue to work, and opened the snack cabinet to see what else was inside.
Lou Xiaoqi looks easy to take care of, but when you get familiar with him, you will find his hidden willfulness.Unless necessary, don't eat more than you don't like.But a child who grows up like this can hide in the mountains for so long, why?
While thinking, Ye Chen rummaged through the cabinet, found a pack of his favorite butter biscuits and handed it to him.
"His biscuits are too sweet, it hurts my tooth." Lou Xiaoqi pouted.
"Have you eaten it again?" Ye Chen remembered that he didn't seem to have bought this brand of biscuits before. In his opinion, it was too sweet or something, but it was just an excuse for children not to eat it. He didn't take a bite of the desserts he usually made. .
"Soda crackers are too bland..."
"Wafer is too dry..."
"I don't want to see compressed biscuits in my life..."
"Are you hungry or not? I think you are looking for trouble if you are not hungry?" Ye Chen couldn't help it.
Lou Xiaoqi shut up aggrieved, and finally reluctantly broke two bananas from the chopping board under Ye Chen's threatening gaze.Because he felt that if he wanted to say that he was not hungry at this time, he just wanted to bring Ye Chen out. Ye Chen probably couldn't help but beat him.
Ye Chen took Lou Xiaoqi to the exit of their staff passage.Ye Chen used to hide here to smoke occasionally when he was not busy.It's just that he was too busy later, and there was an older child Lou Xiaoqi at home, so he was so busy that he didn't have much time to think about the big issues of life, so he gradually stopped smoking.
The exit of the staff passage is a back alley of their bar.There is no one in the alley now, only the dim light of a street lamp at the intersection illuminates the entrance of the alley, making the whole alley semi-dark. .
Ye Chen stood at the door with his arms folded, looking at Lou Xiaoqi behind him.
Lou Xiaoqi followed out slowly, seeing Ye Chen's posture and felt that it was not good.He hastily peeled off a banana and handed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen glanced at him, but didn't answer.
Lou Xiaoqi withdrew her hand embarrassingly, and found a corner to eat slowly.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you today. I went out without saying a word, and ran so far! What if something happens!" Ye Chen patiently waited for Lou Xiaoqi to finish eating, ignoring his begging for mercy eyes.
"I told you that you definitely wouldn't agree." Lou Xiaoqi muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
"It's nothing." Lou Xiaoqi hesitated.He raised his head and took a careful look at Ye Chen's expression, then rubbed against Ye Chen's legs, and pitifully tugged at the side of Ye Chen's pants, "Ah Chen, I don't want to be at home alone at night."
"Why are you alone, isn't there still Mr. Ye at home?" Ye Chen's pants were pulled sideways by him, and he quickly reached out to grab his own waistband.
"What's the matter? Ye Boss can't talk with me." Lou Xiaoqi rested his head on Ye Chen's thigh, "Ah Chen, can I accompany you to work from now on?"
"Not good." Ye Chen replied without thinking.
"why!"
"The bar doesn't allow minors in."
"I'm an adult!"
"You say you are an adult and you are an adult? How do you prove it?"
"I... I'm an adult!" Lou Xiaoqi was furious, but couldn't think of any way to prove himself for a while.He could only hit Ye Chen with his head angrily.
"You didn't stay at home well before, why do you want to come to work with me now?" Ye Chen was annoyed and funny by him, and he had to pull his pants hard with a stern face, and quickly pushed his head away asked.
Lou Xiaoqi couldn't say that she wanted to come to the bar to see which vixen seduced him, Ah Chen, frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I don't want to be a left-behind child!"
"Pfft," Ye Chen almost didn't spit out when he heard this. "What kind of left-behind child are you! Do you have such a nourishing left-behind child? Besides, didn't you just say that you are an adult, have you seen a left-behind child as big as you?"
"I am a poor left-behind child. There is only me and a dog at home every night! It is not good for physical and mental health, and you let me come to work with you. I will definitely listen to you and not make trouble." Lou Xiaoqi took the opportunity to pick Ye Chen looked up at him pitifully from the sleeves of his clothes.
"If you are coming, there will be only the poor left-behind puppy left at home. When you bullied Er Pang with him a few days ago, didn't you say that it is your dog brother and you can't leave it?"
"I didn't abandon it. My home is the most important base camp. I entrusted it with the glorious and arduous task of housekeeping, which represents my deep trust in it! How can it be called abandonment!" Lou Xiaoqi threw it away resolutely. The dog brother who said a few days ago that he wanted to play together.
Ye Chen gave him an expression of "I just heard you talking nonsense".
"Achen~~" Lou Xiaoqi tugged at his sleeve and shook it pitifully.
"Wait for me to think about it. Aren't you an adult, why do you always get tired of me?" If he didn't agree, Lou Xiaoqi would sneak over like today, but if he agreed so easily, he might Will push the nose on the face.Ye Chen shook Lou Xiaoqi away, turned around and went back to work.
"Then Chen, think about it carefully, I will definitely be obedient. I can still help you. I can also go home with you..." Lou Xiaoqi quickly stood up and followed behind him, chattering while walking Nagging to do ideological work.
"Shut up." Ye Chen couldn't bear it anymore.
When Ye Chen returned to the hall, Chu Xiao had already left. He greeted Su Yao, left Lou Xiaoqi in the corner of the bar, and went back to continue his work.
Lou Xiaoqibai lay on the bar counter boredly watching, then pushed a glass of juice in front of his eyes, he looked up and saw Su Yao standing opposite him with a smile, "Good evening, Lou Xiaojiao."
When all the guests are gone, the evening will be considered as busy.Boss Su was obviously in a good mood. When the shop was closed at night, not only did he not find a chance to be lazy, but he tidied it up out of condescension.Although he is mostly lazy in such things on weekdays.
Usually when they are both around, they will be left to lock the door. Chen Yuan and Xiao Qiu have already left, and Ye Chen checked the store again to make sure that there is nothing wrong with it, and then turn off the wall lamp.Su Yao and Lou Xiaoqi waited for him at the door, and locked the door after Ye Chen came out.
The autumn night was a bit chilly, Ye Chen gathered up his coat.
"I said," Su Yao lit a cigarette, and handed the cigarette case to Ye Chen, "Do you want it?"
Ye Chen shook his head.
"Quit? I haven't seen you smoke for a long time." Su Yao put the cigarette back into his pocket, and the three of them walked out of the alley together.
"No, there is a child at home, right? And he never thinks of smoking." Ye Chen yawned, followed, and walked between the two of them.
"I won't accept anyone, but you." Su Yao clicked his tongue. "Oh, by the way, I heard Xiao Qi said that he wants to follow you to work?"
"He told you all this?" Ye Chen was surprised, and turned to look at Lou Xiaoqi next to him.When did the two get so close?
"Who am I? Everyone loves a bosom brother. I mean, if he wants to come with you, you can take him with you. It's not appropriate for you to leave him at home all the time. And he's grown up now. You can still keep an eye on him in the store, there are so many people in the store and nothing will happen. What else do you worry about?"
"It's not appropriate for me to bring him to work." Ye Chen felt that this matter was not appropriate.
"There is nothing inappropriate. I didn't say anything. And after a long time, I can help me, but I won't pay the wages. Capitalists want to squeeze employees like this."
Ye Chen gave him an angry look, "You suddenly treat me so well, I'm a little flustered."
"Why panic, you know I'm good to you, do you want to promise me with your body?" Su Yao approached and winked at him.
"Stay away from me, your face getting too close will cause discomfort." Ye Chen pushed Su Yao's face away. "And it's enough for me to serve one, but if I add you, am I self-torturing?"
"Cut, don't pull it down. The young master is gone, you can get tangled up slowly." The three of them walked to the intersection, Ye Chen and the others were going to the station, Su Yao yawned and walked towards home.
"Should I take you back?" Ye Chen was a little worried.
"Okay, mother Ye, go back quickly." Su Yao waved her hand, turned her head and left.
Seeing him walking away, Ye Chen turned around and said to Lou Xiaoqi, who was waiting beside him, who was a little sleepy, "Let's go too."
"Yeah." Lou Xiaoqi yawned, squinting and followed Ye Chen.
"What did you tell Su Yao just now?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"I didn't say anything." Lou Xiaoqi tugged at Ye Chen's arm, feeling a little sleepy.
"Don't sleep yet, or you'll be refreshed when you go back next time."
"I didn't sleep." Lou Xiaoqi couldn't help but yawned again.The car hadn't arrived yet, the two stood on the platform and waited, Lou Xiaoqi leaned on Ye Chen sleepily, resting his chin on Ye Chen's shoulder.
Ye Chen was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he shook his shoulders from time to time to wake him up.
"Xiaoqi, don't sleep, the car will be here soon."
"Didn't sleep, I'm awake. Don't move around." Lou Xiaoqi moved his head dissatisfied, and rubbed against Ye Chen's shoulder.
Ye Chen had no choice but to stand there as his human crutch.
"Hey, Chen, don't sleep." Suddenly, Lou Xiaoqi seemed to hear a familiar voice, and then he seemed to see a person walking on the road with Ye Chen on his back.Ye Chen tilted his head and lay motionless on that person's back. His normally smiling brows were painfully tight, his cheeks were flushed abnormally, and he was trembling slightly.
"Hey, don't sleep." The person carrying him, probably seeing Ye Chen not moving for a long time, was a little anxious, and moved his shoulders to wake Ye Chen up.Ye Chen behind him struggled to raise his spirits and said something in a low voice.The person carrying him slowed down, and then slowly turned his head.
Who is this person?Lou Xiaoqi instinctively felt that this person was very familiar and very important to him.He couldn't help taking two steps forward, trying to see the man's face clearly.But his body was awakened by a sudden shaking, he opened his eyes suddenly, facing Ye Chen's face.
Ye Chen was taken aback by his shock, "Xiao Qi, are you asleep? The car is about to pull in, wake up."
The light on the ceiling of the station is very bright, illuminating Ye Chen's face is very white, the wind in the autumn night is a bit cool, it makes his cheeks flush, but it is a healthy red, not the one he just saw in a daze Unusual flushing.Lou Xiaoqi suddenly couldn't tell the situation clearly, he stretched out his paw and touched Ye Chen's forehead.The touch of the hands is warm, which is normal human body temperature. Could it be just a hallucination?
"What's wrong with you, Lou Xiaoqi? Sleeping stupidly?" Seeing Lou Xiaoqi's expression changed, Ye Chen grabbed his claws off his forehead.
"I might have had a dream." Lou Xiaoqi scratched her head, not thinking too much about it.
"You can still dream when you doze off. You really..." Before Ye Chen finished speaking, the sound of a car approaching the station sounded, and then the headlights of the approaching car came into the station.
It was already midnight, and there was no one in the car.Ye Chen found a seat near the door and sat down. Lou Xiaoqi sat next to him, his face was still a little dazed, and he didn't look very sober.
"What? Was it a nightmare?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
Lou Xiaoqi shook her head and said nothing, stretched out her hand to grab the drawstring at the hem of Ye Chen's clothes and fiddled with it unconsciously.
Ye Chen didn't ask him any more, and rested on the back of the carriage with his eyes closed.Lou Xiaoqi tilted her head and looked at the tired Ye Chen for a while, then leaned against him.The lights in the carriage were dim, and the sound of the wind as the vehicle crossed the track could be heard, as well as the bright and dark light and shadow brought by the flashing billboards outside.Lou Xiaoqi half-closed her eyes, a little lost in thought.
"Hey, deputy team, I didn't expect to see this kind of medieval rail transit during our mission. I thought this kind of thing would have been extinct a long time ago." A young male voice sounded.
"In fact, many economically underdeveloped planets still use this ancient rail transit. Even some poorer planets don't have this, but you don't know much about it." A calmer male voice said. "And don't underestimate the economy of the home planet, but the key to our mission is here. Don't underestimate this mission because of the interference of these external factors."
"Understood the captain. Guaranteed to complete the task." Several voices sounded.
"Vice team? Vice team? What do you think?"
Lou Xiaoqi was about to listen, when the carriage vibrated violently, he woke up with a jolt.
Is there still a dim compartment in front of me, or a hallucination?But the conversation just now had a very familiar feeling, definitely not a hallucination that appeared out of thin air.Is there really something wrong with your brain recently?
Lou Xiaoqi wanted to turn her head to tell Ye Chen, but when she turned her head and saw Ye Chen's sleeping face next to her, she silently closed her mouth again.
Ye Chen originally planned to rest for a while, but he was probably too tired, so he fell asleep after a while.When he was shaken awake by Lou Xiaoqi, he found himself sleeping soundly leaning on Lou Xiaoqi's shoulder, with Lou Xiaoqi's coat still covering his body.
"Oh, I fell asleep?" Ye Chen rubbed his face, he was still not sober for a while.The car drove into the platform smoothly, and the door opened with two beeps.
Lou Xiaoqi hurriedly pulled Ye Chen out of the car.There are open spaces on both sides of the platform, and the early autumn night wind blew on him, Ye Chen immediately woke up, he couldn't help but sneezed and didn't speak, Lou Xiaoqi had already put his coat on him .
"I don't need..." Before he finished speaking, Lou Xiaoqi couldn't help but pull him to put it on and zip it up. "Let's go, I don't want you to catch a cold again." Ye Chen doesn't like to take medicine or vaccines when he has a cold, so it's all up to him.But his physical fitness was not as good as he had imagined. The last time he had a cold, it lasted for a week or so, and he didn't have the energy to do anything.Lou Xiaoqi was deeply impressed by this.
Ye Chen couldn't resist him, so he dragged him to the outside of the station.It inadvertently occurred to Lou Xiaoqi that he was so familiar with the location of the arrival station that he didn't know when he knew the route to and from get off work.
