The waitress blinked, squinted her eyes and looked forward, her face stiffened, and she blinked subconsciously, that was... the guest just now?!
…
It was snowing all over the sky, and the big outdoor umbrella already had a thin layer of snow.
Under the umbrella, a figure sat there.
The waitress opened her eyes suddenly.
I want my blurry vision to be clearer.
Isn’t this really dazzling?
Is that guest still sitting there?!
…
The waitress' steps became urgent.
As she got closer and closer, she could clearly see the figure. It was not an hallucination, it was the guest she had had coffee with before!
She couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
Is this customer crazy?
In such bad weather, you sat outside for so long?!
…
"ah."
Xiao Xiao looked at the waitress who was struggling to hold the umbrella, and looked at her shocked and angry expression. He couldn't help but responded softly, turned his eyes to the flying snow outside, and said jokingly and seriously: "The scenery here is very good.
."
The waitress's expression was simply horrified.
"Puch~"
Xiao Xiao laughed out loud, "I'm just kidding."
"gentlemen!"
The waitress felt that there was a generation gap even though the two of them were about the same age.
...
"Sir, let's go and sit in the store."
The wind was so strong that it almost blew the umbrella over. The waitress used her strength to hold the handle of the umbrella, "It's so cold outside and there's such a heavy snowstorm."
She had only been out for a short while, and she felt like she was frozen.
Well, the waitress was really surprised and admired that the guest who had been sitting here for so long was still able to joke with him so easily.
"No, I'm leaving."
Xiao Xiao got up, drank the coffee, and listened to the music, so it was time for him to leave.
However, he looked at the waitress who was swaying in the snow and said, "I'll go to the store with you to check out."
"Ah, okay, okay."
The waitress had a strange feeling. A strong wind was blowing by, and the wind was very loud, whistling into her ears, but the customer's words were clearly transmitted to her ears.
After she subconsciously responded, she realized something was wrong.
But it was just a fleeting feeling.
She shook her head and suddenly remembered something, "Sir, umbrella."
As he spoke, he wanted to lift the umbrella to Xiao Xiao's head.
"No thanks."
Xiao Xiao stopped the waitress from making a difficult move, "It's okay to be at such a small distance."
"……All right."
The waitress looked at the distance from the store and stopped insisting.
"Then please come with me."
She walked towards the store.
…
Xiao Xiao followed the waitress and when he was about to pass by Pipa Ghost, he softly said, "Pipa Ghost, I have to leave."
"goodbye."
"Drink~"
Pipa Ghost held Pipa and turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao. When he met a pair of clear and smiling eyes, he also showed a clean and shy smile.
It likes it very much, every time it meets Xiao Xiao unexpectedly.
In such a huge city, it still stopped and walked around as always. When it saw interested humans, it would play half a song for them, and then it would be amused by its own grimace.
This is the life it has always had.
There is nothing wrong with it. The corners of its mouth are slightly pursed, and its brown eyes are clear and indifferent, without a trace of haze.
However, if you can meet your friend by chance, play a song for it, and hear some praise from him, it will feel that there is a strange emotion overflowing in your heart, which is strange but not annoying.
It's a warm and light feeling.
…
Today's candy bars are really delicious.
Pipa Ghost has some unfinished ideas.
The sweetness in his mouth was still looming, making him swallow his saliva with some nostalgia.
I wonder if I can eat it again next time?
…
Pipa Ghost watched Xiao Xiao go away.
"Dingling bell~"
Amidst the crisp ringing of the doorbell, Xiao Xiao's figure disappeared behind the slowly closing door.
"Huh~"
The wind was blowing loudly, and the snowflakes were blowing wildly, almost covering the sky.
Soon, the wind stopped, and the snowflakes in the sky returned to their harmless and leisurely appearance.
However, the monster that was standing next to the table has disappeared without a trace.
There were only two cups of cold coffee left on the table.
…
"Sir, do you want to sit down for a while?"
The waitress looked at Xiao Xiao, who was covered in snow while waiting for the check, and couldn't help but persuade him.
At least dust off the snow and warm yourself up before leaving.
"No, I will have class later."
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head. It was true that there were lessons, but the most important thing was that the falling snow suddenly aroused his desire to walk in it.
Wherever his heart takes him, he will follow his heart's desire.
…
"Thanks."
He knew that the waitress meant well.
"Since there are classes, there is nothing we can do."
The waitress said, "Well, sir, if you have no other needs, I will go and get busy first."
"I'm sorry, if there are any extra umbrellas in the store, can you lend me one?"
"Or I can buy it."
Xiao Xiao stopped the waitress who was about to leave.
He had originally planned to borrow an umbrella.
He was not afraid of such heavy snow, but he could not ignore other people's eyes.
…
"Ah, umbrella?"
"some."
"We have umbrellas specially prepared for our customers in our store."
The waitress quickly took a red long-handled umbrella and handed it to Xiao Xiao.
"Just let me take it away?"
Xiao Xiao waited for a while and was a little surprised when he found that the waitress didn't say anything more.
"Um."
"You can bring the umbrella back next time you come."
The waitress said with a smile.
…
When she first came here to work part-time, she was also surprised by the boss's rule. There was no deposit and no need to be a member. As long as the customers were spending money here, they could borrow the umbrellas prepared in the store.
Wouldn’t it be easy to “borrow but never repay”?
An umbrella is not expensive, but the store has ten umbrellas.
If you need to replenish it from time to time, it will also be an expense.
However, after working here for a long time, she gradually understood the reason or the confidence of the store manager for doing this.
…
The cafe is a petty bourgeoisie place.
Most of the guests who come here also have certain assets, taste and quality.
Such a guest would not bother with an ordinary umbrella.
…
However, such measures in the store can make customers feel warm and have a better impression of the store.
This is definitely a sure-fire deal.
The waitress admired the store manager's foresight.
