Three Women in the Cage

This year, Xinxin had been working in the city for two years. Yang Yu missed her very much and wanted her to return to the county to work.

But there are too few jobs suitable for Xinxin in the county, so she can't go back, as going back would limit herself.

Finally, Huanhuan and Yaya discussed letting her go back and open a milk tea shop so that the family could be together.

Xinxin had been alone in the city for a long time and wanted to go back and reunite with her family. Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to go back and start her own business.

She originally studied accounting, and she could help with the accounting of her own store, so it wouldn't be considered a waste of her studies.

After making up her mind, Xinxin found a milk tea training institution, hoping to learn the skills and then go back to open a shop.

That day, Xinxin came to the training institution and knocked on the door.

"bang bang bang"

After a few knocks on the door, it opened and a receptionist warmly welcomed her in.

"Hello, are you here to learn how to make milk tea?"

“Yes! I want to open my own shop.”

The girl at the front desk praised: "Oh, you are so young and you are ready to be a boss, you are amazing."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Xinxin said modestly, "I've never done this before, but I wanted to give it a try. You guys should teach me!"

"Of course I will teach you, don't worry!"

As she spoke, the girl at the front desk brought over a stack of documents and showed them to Xinxin.

As he was speaking, a man in his thirties walked in. The receptionist quickly greeted him, "Mr. Xu!"

The man nodded and said to Xinxin: "Little sister, do you want to learn how to open a milk tea shop?"

Xinxin looked at this familiar man and didn't expect that he was the owner of this institution.

Judging from his clothes, he is very ordinary and not at all arrogant, but you can see the traces of time on his face.

At first impression, Xinxin felt that they were from two different worlds and would never have any intersection. Out of politeness, Xinxin nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to open a shop after I finish my studies."

The man admired it and said, "Not bad. At your age, many people who learned how to make milk tea go to work in a shop. You are the first one I have seen who wants to open a shop at such a young age."

The man didn’t know whether it was because of his good first impression or because he really admired her, but in any case, in the following time, he acted as the receptionist and introduced Xinxin enthusiastically.

Xinxin was finally moved by the man's eloquent speech and quickly paid the training fee.

Finally, the man introduced himself: "My name is Xu Fei, and I'm divorced."

Xinxin didn't hear the last two words clearly, nor did she delve into their meaning, so she politely replied: "Zhang Xin."

For some reason, the teaching teacher took leave for the next two days of study, and was replaced by my boss Xu Fei.

Xu Fei warmly welcomed her into the teaching room. When she saw that she was the only one inside, she was surprised and asked, "Why are there no other students?"

Xu Fei explained: "They have asked for leave and will come in two days."

I was confused and thought to myself: "Isn't it possible that I am the only student in this institution?"

I wanted to back out at this moment, but since I had already paid the training fee, I couldn't easily ask for a refund.

Helpless, I had to stay with the idea of ​​making the best of it.

At the beginning of the teaching, you need to take notes of the recipes first. When Xinxin saw Xu Fei writing a bunch of recipes on the blackboard, she began to daydream, wondering if she had come to the wrong place.

When Xu Fei turned around and saw Xinxin distracted, he suddenly laughed and jokingly said, "What? Are you afraid that I'll sell you out?"

Xinxin smiled awkwardly.

Later, it was confirmed that Xinxin was overthinking it. On the third day, the teacher from the institution came back, and a group of students also came back.

Looking at so many students, Xinxin finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the air for the past few days. Fortunately, she did not come to the wrong place.

In the subsequent teaching, Xinxin studied with a group of students. The teacher was replaced by a professional teacher, and she thought everything was back to normal.

But for some reason, Xu Fei would always appear in the classroom and occasionally chat with Xinxin. At first, Xinxin just thought that he was teaching her for two days and didn't take it seriously.

However, for several weeks in a row, Xu Fei's intentional or unintentional concern for the other students still made the other students discover something.

They teased Xinxin, "Do you have a boyfriend? I'm afraid Mr. Xu likes you."

Like, Xinxin heard the word again. She had never had a boyfriend. Once in high school, there was a boy who gave her lollipops for a semester. Others told her that the boy liked her.

However, until I graduated from high school, the boy never said that he liked me, and after that, no one said that they liked me anymore.

This is the second time I have heard from others that someone likes me.

Her resistance to men made her never dare to actively like someone. If others didn't approach her, she would never approach them in her life.

Besides, she doesn't want to like anyone now. Men will only delay her life.

After thinking about it, she said calmly: "I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't want to have one for the time being. Stop talking nonsense. Does Mr. Xu like me?"

Everyone saw through it but didn't say anything, and just smiled strangely.

At noon that day, when Xinxin was about to go out to eat with the students, Xu Fei appeared at the right time. In front of the students, he walked up to Xinxin and said, "Wait for me a moment. I'll take you to dinner. I know a place with really good food."

Before Xinxin could answer, the students said "Yo!", turned around to look at Xinxin, and walked away laughing.

Xinxin stood there, watching them leave in a swarm. She wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

I could only stand there helplessly, not knowing whether to leave or not.

If I leave, they will tease me and make others feel embarrassed, as if I really like Xu Fei.

If she stayed, she didn't want to communicate more with Xu Fei. She was unfamiliar with the feeling of having to speak out, and she didn't know what to do.

She had never opened her heart before, so she didn't know what to say next.

Soon, Xu Fei walked out of the office. He seemed very relaxed and not nervous at all. He said to Xinxin generously: "Let's go! I'll take you to that restaurant. You will definitely like it."

Xinxin smiled awkwardly and followed him outside.

Looking at Xu Fei's back as he walked in front of her, there was a moment when Xinxin felt that his back overlapped with the back of the people in her former village. She felt uncomfortable and resisted, and she wanted to vomit.

She suddenly felt a little scared. This man was not the one she liked at first sight. He was so old, ten years older than her. There was no light in him, only the roughness of middle-aged people. That feeling made her resist. She wondered why she would be with such a person?

What on earth was wrong with her that she had to go out to eat with him alone for no apparent reason? She felt like she had lost her direction and had to rely on others to push her forward.

Xu Fei didn't say anything that day. He just picked up some food for Xinxin. After the meal, he took the initiative to pay the bill. Until that moment, Xinxin still didn't understand what was wrong with her.
