Reborn, then become a male god

Chapter 238 Schrödinger's Hatchet [very important and must-see]

"Xiao Rui, bring me a raw coconut latte. I just got off the high-speed train and I'm a little sleepy."

Jiang Mu squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and said to the boy who just spoke to him at the bar.

Before Song Kai helped to recruit two baristas from Sioux City, one of them was Xiao Rui, a young man in his twenties.

The other is Zhong He, who is about three years older than Zhong Rui. They are cousins. Both of them did not do well in high school, so they went to a junior college.

Since my majors are food-related, and I am more interested in coffee mixing, I later passed the SCA barista certificate and returned to Sioux City to develop.

Zhong Rui is quite respectful in front of Jiang Mu.

After all, with his education level, it is almost impossible to find a job with such salary in Shanghai.

The work here at Miaoka is both easy and hard.

It was hard because during the trial operation, the passenger flow far exceeded expectations, and the agreed two people took turns to produce at the same time, but the two brothers didn't have any objections at that time, and instead worked hard.

It's easy because the training of part-time students is almost done, and they don't need to come in person for simple mechanical operations, and the pressure is greatly reduced. Therefore, they have readjusted to the one-work-one-break mode.

"Alright Brother Jiang."

Zhong Rui responded and came to make Jiang Mu's drink himself.

In fact, normally, such routine items don't need him to operate, and a few trained part-time college students can handle them.

As for him, he usually makes the "signature cat latte art coffee" which is relatively difficult.

And Jiang Mu went to a seat near the bar and sat down, An Ruyan next to him followed up, teasing in a low voice: "Hmph, didn't you do something good last night?"

An Ruyan knew who Jiang Mu was looking for when he went to Jinling this time, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity to tease him.

"That's not true. She has been busy practicing basic skills and has no time to talk to me. But before going to Jinling, the inventory was almost wiped out by someone."

Jiang Mu shook his head, and couldn't help but glance at An Ruyan again, his eyes were full of hints.

An Ruyan's face was slightly flushed, of course she knew what Jiang Mu was talking about.

Before Jiang Mu went to Jinling, he also fulfilled his promise and took her to the villa over the Imperial Garden alone.

An Ruyan didn't talk because she was a little embarrassed, and Jiang Mu didn't start a new topic, so there was a cold stand between the two of them.

However, neither Jiang Mu nor An Ruyan felt the slightest bit of embarrassment, but rather relaxed.

The warm sun at noon in winter pours into the cafe through the windows, bringing a touch of warmth in the cold winter.

An Ruyan quietly looked at Jiang Mu in front of him, the boy's face was much more resolute than when he first met him, and the immaturity of a high school student faded away.

Involuntarily, An Ruyan leaned forward slightly, leaned her arms on the table, supported her head, and carefully looked at Jiang Mu in front of her.

"Are there flowers on my face?"

Jiang Mu raised his head, noticed the other party's gaze, and asked with a suspicious expression.

"No, I suddenly found that you are quite handsome."

An Ruyan shook her head and said with a smile.

"I feel so too."

Jiang Mu nodded approvingly.

Seeing Jiang Mu's triumphant expression, An Ruyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and echoed, "Yes, yes, you are handsome."

"It was."

Jiang Mu muttered, and was about to refute something when he thought of the system's appearance rating.

His appearance attribute has reached 80 points, he is considered a handsome guy in a thousand.

However, An Ruyan's appearance score has reached an astonishing 98 points, which can almost be said to be due to his aesthetics.

No matter how narcissistic Brother Mu was, he silently shut his mouth at this moment.

"It's almost time, I'm going back to school for self-study first."

An Ruyan waited for Jiang Mu to finish drinking his coffee, sat for a while, and then stood up voluntarily.

Jiang Mu glanced at the time, it was almost 11:30, probably to leave space for Han Nuo, right?
Speaking of it, since the last dinner with the new family, An Ruyan seems to be more and more like a little lover who doesn't fight or grab.

If Han Nuo and Jiang Mu were in the store at the same time, An Ruyan would take the initiative to go to the school library for self-study.

It seemed the same as before, after all, even if she was in the store, there would be room for the two of them to communicate, but this was an obvious statement.

Jiang Mu originally planned to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, which seemed too hypocritical.

At the earliest time, he gathered the three girls at Miao Ka's side at the same time, didn't he have the slightest selfishness?
Even Jiang Mu himself couldn't believe this.

Even though he may not have realized it at the time, he did so subconsciously.

This is self-cultivation from a good man.

To put it bluntly, the current situation has long been expected by Jiang Mu.

It can even be said to have been premeditated.

"In the future, make up for it elsewhere." Jiang Mu shook his head without thinking too much.

In fact, An Ruyan's state adjusted faster than he imagined.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the fact that the other party's character is inherently more rational.

Before getting to know Jiang Mu, An Ruyan had always been inclined to plan her life and want to hold the future in her hands.

Such a girl, in Jiang Mu's view, is actually more suitable for being a lover than the emotional type who is full of love.

Because, she has other pursuits in life, either to enjoy life, or to realize her ambition...

In short, the satisfaction that cannot be fully obtained in love can be made up in other aspects.

Jiang Qianqian actually has a completely opposite personality, and Xiao Nizi belongs to the kind that is more emotional, with a feeling of being in love.

When she is in love, she may have a high tolerance because of some emotional emotions, but after time, the passion will fade away one day and become flat, and then it may go to another extreme.

That's why Jiang Mu didn't dare to answer the girl's words most of the time.

On the one hand, it is because the other party is weird, and it is not clear which sentence is true and which sentence is temptation.

This point has been confirmed by Jiang Mu.

In fact, the little girl's possessiveness is often stronger than he imagined, otherwise she wouldn't have tested the situation between him and Han Nuo many times.

Fortunately, Jiang Mu has always adhered to the principle of 'don't take random calls if you don't understand'. Recently, Jiang Qianqian seems to be too lazy to try.

Of course, the most important thing may be that the other party has other reliance?

On the other hand, Jiang Mu can actually understand a truth, that is, no matter how indifferent Jiang Qianqian was at the time, no matter how much she thought it was nothing, she could accept it, maybe she would regret it at some point.

Anyway, you can only listen to half of what a woman says. If you really believe it, you think she can tolerate another girl...

Uh, the suggestion here is to choose a geomantic treasure in advance!

Of course, what Jiang Mu actually wants to say here is that there is a word called blocking is worse than sparse.

If a person's emotions are compared to water flow, then a person has a place to accommodate emotions, which can be compared to a reservoir.

The continuous generation of human emotions is equivalent to storing water in a cistern.

After all, emotions have a threshold, and when this threshold is reached, people's emotions will explode, which is equivalent to overflowing the water in the reservoir.

The emotional character can be understood as making this reservoir bigger and able to accommodate more, but correspondingly, it loses other branch rivers, that is, the 'love brain', and concentrates on love.

When the enthusiasm is still there, the tolerance level of the parties will be very high.

Some small problems will be regarded as not seen, and even turned a blind eye, thinking that as long as he still loves me, it will be fine.

But it is foreseeable that with the passage of time, sooner or later, the enthusiasm will fade away and become a dull relationship.

Moreover, no matter how big the reservoir is, sooner or later it will be full and overflow...

And at that time, were the promises made before still credible?
I'm afraid I have to put a question mark?

Or, it is the exclamation point of horror!
The rational character is another kind of logic.

It means that there can be other branched rivers, even the sea, which can flow the water accumulated in it to other places.

Of course, how to connect the reservoir with the river, or even the sea, requires money, effort, and even wisdom.

Money alone is not enough, because people have a heart and need great wisdom to guide, otherwise even if the body accepts it, the heart will still reject it.

Although the twisted melon is quite thirst-quenching, but Brother Mu is already a high-end player, so naturally he doesn't bother to do this kind of thing.

The incident of Lin Ye overturning the car before, including what happened in the grove, really alerted Jiang Mu.

The main reason is that he has been too stable since his rebirth, so that he didn't even think about it, in case one day, a good man fails in time management.

In fact, the current Brother Mu only looks safe and stable, but in fact he is just at a delicate balance point.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Jiang Qianqian, who is far away in Jinling, in case of a whim, quietly came to Shanghai a few more times, and then happened to meet the scene of Jiang Mu shopping with his little lover...

In short, the hatchet looked far away from Jiang Mu.

In fact, it might as well be close.

Brother Mu is willing to call it "the hatchet of Schrödinger's state".

Of course, Jiang Mu also has his own methodology on how to solve this problem, and has already put it into practice.

First of all, let An Ruyan and Han Nuo meet through Meow Ka, this is mainly to solve the problem on the side of the little lover.

In other words, Jiang Mu is trying to open the water channel between the 'reservoir' and the 'river', leading An Ruyan to develop in a direction of neither fighting nor grabbing.

To put it simply, An Ruyan in the past seemed to be indifferent, but in fact it was not.

She used some methods to suppress these thoughts, but if there is suppression, there will be a rebound one day.

Using a metaphor, it can be understood that An Ruyan forcibly expanded the 'reservoir' by himself.

This is just a palliative, not a permanent solution.

Because the emergence of emotions is subtle, no matter how slow it is, it will eventually reach that threshold one day.

At that time, it was probably the day when the other party wanted to compete for it, right?
Maybe this is not An Ruyan's original wish, but it is indeed predictable and logically inevitable.

Why do housewives break down so easily?

It is because I completely devoted myself to the emotional side, actively blocked the waterways leading to other rivers, and gave up my self, so that when my emotions broke out one day, I found that I only had this reservoir.

Therefore, Jiang Mu asked An Ruyan and Han Nuo to meet through Meow Ka. It can be understood that he took the initiative to speed up the water flow, stimulate the other party's emotions, and achieve a rebound as soon as possible, reaching that threshold.

As for the purpose, it is naturally to guide the opponent to connect the 'reservoir' with the 'river', so that the outburst of emotions can be accommodated elsewhere.

It's just that Jiang Mu didn't expect the other party's emotions to rebound so violently, and even almost hit the hatchet ahead of time.

Just... feels like a gamble?

Jiang Mu also has a bottom-up trick, which is the 'spider induction' given by the male god development system, which is Jiang Mu's agitation.

This is his last guarantee to avoid the Shura field and the hatchet.

Fortunately, the development of the matter was basically within the controllable range, and his perception of An Ruyan was not wrong.

This girl is actually very proud in her heart. She has not completely sunk in love, and has found a rational side.

If there is no accident, the other party will concentrate on taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and then go to the Imperial University of Finance and Economics for further study, and with Jiang Mu's help, he will achieve success in his career in the future.

Of course, this also has a major premise, that is, Jiang Mu has enough money and ability to support the other party to realize himself.

Otherwise, there is a high probability that the hatchet will end.

……

About a quarter of an hour after An Ruyan left, Han Nuo came back.

Qiao Qianhui went back to Lujiazui first, because Jiangyuan Investment Company still had work to do, and she had been to the University City too many times during this period.

When Han Nuo saw Jiang Mu in the store, his expression was slightly startled. The two hadn't seen each other for a while.

As a result, a hint of secret joy flashed clearly in a pair of big watery eyes.

"Think I didn't?"

Jiang Mu walked up to Han Nuo, and pinched Xiao Nizi's face with a smile.

"Well... I think, I think about it."

Han Nuo's face turned red quickly, and then she lowered her head slightly.

In the past, Jiang Mu might only have thought that this girl was shy, but because of what An Ruyan told him before, he was keenly aware of this.

Logically speaking, since I have been with Han Nuo for so long, I should have gotten used to this level of contact long ago, right?
Just pinch your face.

Jiang Mu kept this in mind, but he didn't show it on the surface, but said with a smile: "There are a lot of things, and I came to the store to find you just after returning to the magic capital."

"Oh!"

Han Nuo raised his head and stared blankly at Jiang Mu in front of him with big eyes, his figure was clearly reflected in his eyes.

Jiang Mu understood the character of the other party, and knew that she was not doubting the authenticity of what he said, so he just smiled.

Reaching out and pinching the other person's face, Jiang Mu said, "Are you free this afternoon?"

"In the store..." Han Nuo pointed in the direction of the bar, expressing that he planned to help out in the store.

"Now there are quite a lot of part-time students in the store, and the customer flow has stabilized. You don't necessarily need to come to help every day."

Jiang Mu interrupted Han Nuo's words, smiled and said, "It seems that I promised you to go to the zoo before? Or just this afternoon."

"The zoo?" Han Nuo raised her face slightly, a sparkle flashed in her big eyes.

Jiang Mu really understood the little girl's thoughts, so he said directly without waiting for the other party's response: "Okay, let's go eat something first, and then go directly."

Han Nuo really wanted to go, but he still missed the business of the store, and was afraid that if something went wrong after he left, he would not be able to deal with it immediately, so he clasped his hands in front of him, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Jiang Mu saw her thoughts, thought for a while, and taught with a serious expression: "Actually, one of the tricks of being a boss is to learn how to assign things to the people under him, and to do everything by ourselves. Why hire so many employees?"

"Oh……"

Han Nuo listened to Jiang Mu's words, and because the other party had a serious expression, he naturally listened carefully.

Even, he was still thinking about it secretly, no wonder Jiang Mu usually likes to leave things to her, and Teacher Qiao and Senior Sister An will do it.

Is this the thinking of the big boss?
Han Nuo is actually very smart, but after all, he still lacks a little social experience, and he doesn't know how to control people like a big boss or a big president, so he is relatively easy to 'fool'.

Otherwise, as long as she has some social experience, she may refute Jiang Mu's statement.

Is this guy 'delegating power' when he is usually a hands-off shopkeeper?

Obviously lazy!
Jiang Mu was just talking nonsense, seeing that Han Nuo almost believed it, so he said hey and accepted it.

If you talk too much, you will lose~
Han Nuo's IQ is very high, and Jiang Mu actually doesn't dare to 'play tricks' in front of him.

If in front of that silly girl Jiang Qianqian?

Jiang Mu had to continue to fool around, making the other party open his big peach eyes, and then look at him with a shining face and admiration.

"Take you to dinner."

Jiang Mu seemingly unintentionally put his arms around Han Nuo's shoulders, and led her towards the outside of the shop.

And Han Nuo's body obviously trembled slightly under Jiang Mu's sudden contact.

It's definitely not visible to the naked eye, but because Jiang Mu is holding Han Nuo's shoulders very close, and he is always concentrating, he is keenly aware of this trembling .

Especially as he was still observing Han Nuo's expression, it seemed that there was a flash of subconscious rejection for a moment?
"Is there really a mental problem?"

Jiang Mu couldn't help but secretly frowned, feeling suspicious in his heart.

To be honest, if An Ruyan hadn't mentioned this matter to him today, Jiang Mu would have lived for several more years, maybe even his entire life, he would never have found out.

This is also something that can’t be helped, after all, it’s a preconceived idea, and it’s easy to be confused by the authorities.

The impression of Han Nuo in the previous life, coupled with the "contrast" of this little iceberg when he was reborn, naturally formed a double impression.

This impression will be deeper than any previous impression and cannot be shaken.

For example, when you were young, someone told you that one plus one equals four is wrong, but he told you that one plus one equals three.

If there is no other reminder, you may really think that one plus one equals three for the rest of your life.

In short, Jiang Mu would subconsciously ignore these small flaws, thinking that it was not enough to boil the frog in warm water, so he continued to wait.

As for the result, it is also obvious, right?
