"What are you thinking about this store? Why is the cashier not located at the exit but inside!"
Ye Chuxia stomped her feet angrily.
"Uh, well, the cashier in our store is always inside. Isn't this very common?"
The clerk looked at her inexplicably.
"What an ordinary thing! Look, my boyfriend ran away just after I bought something! If it weren't for your crappy cashier, how could he have run away? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"puff!"
The clerk couldn't help laughing.

the other side.
Xia Ju was walking back and forth with her suitcase in the pedestrian street she often visited, just two crosses from Su Mu's house.
From the street entrance to the exit, from the exit to the entrance, this cycle has been repeated for countless times.
tired.
Xia Ju sat upright on a chair on the side of the street for people to rest, with her suitcase aside, staring at the entrance in trance.
"Sister, I see you have been walking back and forth for a long time. Who are you looking for?"
The coffee shop owner behind the chair came out. He was a little fat, but his eyes were bright and his hair was combed meticulously. He was obviously a shop owner but he looked like a teacher.
"No. I'm waiting for someone."
Xia Ju can still smile on her tired face.
"Someone you like very much, right?"
"certainly."
"I'm so envious."
The shop owner sincerely praised him and invited: "Would you like to wait in the shop? The shop is very clean now, suitable for waiting for people. Isn't it tiring for you to keep walking with a suitcase like this?"
"Thank you. But no, I made an appointment with him to meet on this street."
Xia Ju refused.
"I don't understand how you young people get along. But it's great. I've had times like this before. Wait a minute."
The shopkeeper went back to the store and came out again soon. But this time he brought out a glass of cold drink, handed it to Xia Ju and said, "The weather is very hot, let's drink some of this to quench your thirst."
"Nothing else. I just looked at you and thought of some good memories from a long time ago. Just think of it as my thank you."
As if he knew Xia Ju would shirk, the shop owner smiled and made an excuse in advance.
"Thanks."
Xia Ju accepted the drink with some embarrassment. The cup was still air-conditioned and felt very comfortable.
"I'm really curious about what kind of boy you can cherish like this."
The shopkeeper sat next to Xia Ju at a polite distance and asked, "Can you talk to me?"
"Um."
Xia Ju smiled naturally and said: "He is a very peculiar person. What I like most is his serious attitude when focusing on the work he likes. He is never picky about food, can write books, and the words he writes are very approachable.
. He is also very serious about his feelings and never plays it off. He just doesn’t pay much attention to his image in front of familiar people. He obviously needs a little improvement to look handsome."
"Ha ha."
The shop owner smiled and said: "This shortcoming is not considered a shortcoming. I only praise him and all eyes are on him."
"that···"
Xia Ju touched her face in embarrassment and said, "I don't feel like I have any shortcomings."
"Beauty is in the eyes of beholder."
The shop owner joked, stood up and said, "It's quite hot outside. I don't know why you guys have to meet outside in the sun, but if you want to come in and blow on the air conditioner to cool down, you're always welcome. By the way, you can also leave the box with me."
In the store, it’s easier this way.”
"Thank you. But I'll just take it."
"I don't understand you young people. But I wish you were happy. Hey, it would be great if I could go back to my youth again."
The shopkeeper shook his head and entered the shop.
Xia Ju held the drink in her hand, inserted the straw into her mouth, took a sip, and stood up. She was still dragging her big suitcase back and forth on the street, drinking the drink while repeating the same actions she had done all morning.
Are you tired?
tired.
I'm just a girl. I haven't slept well since we parted yesterday, and now I've been walking on the street repeatedly with my suitcase in hand. It's really tiring.
Xia Ju could feel a sticky layer of sweat forming on her body, which was really uncomfortable for a girl.
But is it mentally uncomfortable?
The answer is not at all.
This is all for the first encounter. As long as we can meet each other, all bitterness will be sweet.
But Xia Ju's initially unworried mood began to change as time went by. We were obviously supposed to meet each other in the morning, so why didn't she come even after noon, even after four o'clock in the afternoon?
“···”
Xia Ju arrived at the street entrance again, staring at the crosswalk, hoping that the person in her imagination would appear.
But in fact there is still no one.
My physical strength seemed to have finally reached its limit.
But no matter what, I dare not leave here and go to find Su Mu privately. Because the first opportunity for the two to resolve their misunderstanding started here, when Su Mu took him home.
“···”
Xia Ju is standing here and won't leave. If Su Mu comes over in such a conspicuous position, he will definitely be able to see her. Her home is on the other side of the crosswalk. If Su Mu goes out to buy groceries or other things,
Will definitely pass by here.
Many people passing by stared at Xia Ju strangely, and all of them were amazed by Xia Ju's unique temperament.
Of course, there were also some men who were unwilling to be lonely and struck up a conversation with them, but none of them were rejected.
"Little girl, it's already night, why isn't your boyfriend here yet?"
The store owner from the beginning came out again. Originally, he was supposed to close the door at seven o'clock and go home, but because Xia Ju never left, he simply asked the clerk to get off work and stayed open for a while, not waiting for Xia Ju's perfect words.
When her boyfriend showed up, he was still worried about Xia Ju staying there alone.
"He...may have something to do, but he will definitely come."
Xia Ju forced a smile.
"No, no matter what happens, you should always call me, right?"
"My phone was stolen before."
"Then you shouldn't stop coming. Even if you can't come, you can just find a friend to come over and say something!"
The shopkeeper said angrily: "Tell me his mobile phone number and I will call him."
"I...he changed his mobile phone number, I haven't had time to write it down yet."
In fact, Xia Ju remembered it, but at this time there was no relationship between the two, and he was not qualified to call him, so how could he let an outsider call him and scold him?
"What does this mean? Well, come to the store and take a rest first."
The shopkeeper sighed and took Xia Ju's suitcase into the store without any explanation.
“···”
Xia Ju was still looking across the crosswalk, but someone she didn't expect appeared.
"Oh, don't wait. You've been waiting for a whole day and he hasn't come. How do you still expect him to show up in this minute and a half?"
"just in case···"
"What if it's a fart? I think you girl is extremely stupid. I'm telling you, if something doesn't really happen to him this time, I will never let him go."
“···”
Xia Ju was very grateful to the shop owner. But the truth of this matter could not be explained to others. To put it bluntly, no one had any right to accuse him even if Su Mu couldn't come over.
This is just my own misfortune. It's just that the development of the plot has produced some changes that I don't know about, causing things to develop differently.
