The sky quickly became dark, the shops on both sides of the street lit up their lights, and more and more pedestrians came and went. The passage of time did not weaken people's enthusiasm at all.
On the contrary, I enjoy the slightly cooler night time even more. The evening breeze is blowing. Compared with the daytime, this time is obviously more suitable for taking a walk.
Lin Mo had finished his meal and returned to the bookstore. There were no customers that day, except for the guest in the morning who was not a guest, the girl named Liao Yu.
The girl came to the store at nine o'clock to take away the book, saying that she would send money back, but Lin Mo waited for a whole day and did not see the girl come back. In his heart, Lin Mo no longer expected the girl to send the money back.
, it doesn’t matter whether the other party accidentally forgot or didn’t intend to send the money.
Except for the girl, no one else entered the bookstore that day. Occasionally, a few passers-by saw the scene inside the bookstore, stopped for a moment, looked inside through the glass window, and then walked away.
This is good news for Lin Mo and saves a lot of trouble.
On this day, Lin Mo had been paying attention to the activities near the tea house, and had roughly identified some people responsible for monitoring the tea house. These people basically did not hide anything, and they found a place generously and sat there for the whole day.
There are some methods that are quite good, and they also know how to change classes and hide themselves.
As for the others, one day is really not long, and it is simply impossible to find out all the identities of everyone.
The bookstore here changed its owner. Of course, some people noticed that when Lin Mo went to the nearby store for dinner, he had a few words with the other party. He used his identity as the nephew of the original store owner, and the two parties were only polite.
sentence, and didn’t say much.
These days, it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but with mobile phones, many people have abandoned even their close neighbors.
Not to mention communication with friends, we can see each other every day, but whether we can chat is another matter.
Soon it was eight o'clock in the evening, and Fenglin Street became more and more lively, with more and more people. Men and women were walking on the street, enjoying the beauty of the night, taking a leisurely walk, and taking their families out for a walk.
A nice piece of relaxation.
There are so many people, it is no longer suitable to observe anything at this time, and it is pitch dark outside. Even if you want to observe, you can't see anything.
The bookstore was still very quiet. The noise outside did not affect the situation inside the bookstore. Lin Mo sat at the table boredly, staring at the ground in a daze. There was nothing going on now, and he was really a little uncomfortable.
Lin Mo didn't know how long he had been in a daze. He just knew that when he looked up again, the bustling crowd had dispersed.
I looked up at the watch hanging on the wall and before I knew it, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
"Does time fly by so fast?"
With a sigh, he stood up from his chair and walked towards the door of the bookstore. At this time, there were not many people on the street who could open at this time.
There were not many shops at that time, and Lin Mo was ready to close the door of the bookstore and end this boring day.
I opened the door and walked outside the store. The street outside had become a little deserted, and the night breeze was blowing with a slight coolness.
"Da da da"
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from a distance, which was so sudden that Lin Mo subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
A person, a woman to be precise, was running towards him, looking a little anxious.
After taking a look behind the woman, Lin Mo didn't see anyone chasing her. He just assumed that the woman was in a hurry to go home and paid no attention to it.
"boss!"
Suddenly a woman's shout came from behind. The voice seemed familiar.
Of course, it was just a little bit. Lin Mo ignored it at all. He picked up the sign outside the bookstore and walked towards the inside of the bookstore.
"Boss! Wait!"
The woman ran faster and her shouts were very clear, but Lin Mo didn't think this woman had anything to do with him, let alone involve the title of the boss with himself.
If you want to call him, you can just call him handsome guy.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'm here to give you money!"
Realizing that Lin Mo ignored her, the woman hurriedly added.
"Send money?"
After hearing this, Lin Mo stopped closing the door and turned his head to look at the woman.
The distance was too far before, so I could only roughly identify that it was a woman. Although the voice sounded familiar, in Lin Mo's memory, those were the only people involved with him, and those people obviously would not appear at this time.
it's here.
But at this time, the woman was very close to him, and under the light, he could see her appearance clearly.
Said she was a woman, but in fact, it was more accurate to say she was a girl. The moment he saw the girl, Lin Mo recognized the identity of the girl. This girl was none other than the one who took many books from him in the morning. After that,
The girl who will send the money.
"You came to me to give me money at this time?"
Seeing this girl, Lin Mo didn't feel any joy. Instead, he frowned unconsciously. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. This girl came here to give him money, and she looked like a girl.
When people come, this thing seems a bit weird.
There are no universities near Maple Street. Even the nearest university to Maple Street would take half an hour to walk. If you ride a bicycle, you can probably get there in ten minutes.
If you drive, the time may be shorter, but this girl ran here and obviously did not use any means of transportation. It is obviously difficult to take a taxi back from Maple Street at this time.
In ordinary universities, the lights are turned off around eleven o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory building will be locked. It is already past ten-thirty, and the girl comes here and then rushes back from here, unless the girl runs very fast.
, otherwise base
It is basically impossible to go back before the dormitory building closes.
College students, if they are not renting a house outside, will generally not run out at this time for a matter that is not particularly urgent. However, those who generally rent a house outside, except for some who are taking postgraduate entrance examinations, will not be able to run out at this time.
Yes, those are some families with relatively good conditions.
When the girl came to the bookstore, Lin Mo had already observed that the girl named Liao Yu did not have a good family background.
So Lin Mo never thought that he would see Liao Yu at this time.
Furthermore, there is no difference between sending the money over at this time and sending the money over tomorrow morning.
Under various unreasonable circumstances, the other party still sent the money over at this time. Either the other party's home is in Maple City and it is not very far from here, or he has some other purpose.
If the other party's home is here, then she can find someone to help send the money over even if she is very busy that day. The current approach seems to Lin Mo to be unnecessary.
"Huhu~"
The girl ran to the door of the store. At this time, Lin Mo had already placed the sign in the bookstore. Seeing the girl bending over and panting violently, Lin Mo's eyes flashed and he didn't ask any more questions.
"come in."
Without giving the girl a chance to speak, Lin Mo walked directly into the bookstore.
The girl just hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked into the bookstore. At this time, the lights were not turned off in the bookstore, but there were only two people here.
Picking up a pack of instant coffee and a paper cup, he brewed it and sent it to the girl. Lin Mo returned to the chair behind the counter.
"Thanks."
The girl obviously didn't expect that Lin Mo would make her a cup of coffee. Although it was just instant coffee, it smelled pretty good.
"Boss, I'm here to give you money."
After taking the coffee, the girl seemed to remember the purpose of her trip. She put the coffee in her hand aside, took out a wallet from her bag, took out a few red notes and a few scattered banknotes and placed them on the counter.
"Boss, this is the price of your book. No need to look for it, I've already calculated it for you."
The girl smiled sweetly, but Lin Mo was a little surprised. After thinking about it, how many books did she take away this morning?
But when the girl said that, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't need change, otherwise he wouldn't have much change here.
"knew."
After replying lightly, the girl was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect Lin Mo's reaction, and the corner of her mouth twitched, feeling a little embarrassed.
After dozens of seconds, the girl seemed to realize that what she had to do had been completed so simply. She looked at Lin Mo and found that the other party still had no reaction. She gritted her teeth and sighed slightly.
"Boss, I'll leave first. Thank you for the coffee and I'll take it away?"
Picking up the coffee, Liao Yu said politely, turned around and walked out of the store.
