The lady boss is a man

That night, Qin Jiakang received a new message on WeChat, which was sent to him by the manager of the general store in Ancheng.

The Yunlu branch in Ancheng has ceased operations, and a notice of transfer has been pasted at the door.After some inquiry by the manager, I heard the inside information from the old staff in the store. The ownership of the store was transferred to a man surnamed Sun. The branch store will be converted into a teahouse. After the decoration is completed, it will open normally.

This decision came very suddenly, and everyone didn't quite understand it, but Qin Jiakang understood very well that it was Li Shiyao's revenge against him.

What a mockery.

Qin Jiakang laughed at himself, turned off the phone screen with a wry smile, touched his cheek with his fingers, and gently wiped away the drop of liquid with his fingertips.

After the college entrance examination, Qin Jiakang fulfilled his promise and took Li Shiyao back to his hometown—Ancheng, took Li Shiyao to experience the city he lived in, and took Li Shiyao to walk through every street and store he walked through.

At that time, the predecessor of the Yunlu branch was also an ordinary bookstore, and they often stayed there for a whole day.

Thinking about it now, it was really good back then.

Li Shiyao said that he will buy that store in the future, and he will also set up a drink counter in the bookstore.

He also said that he wants to stop in Qin Jiakang's world and leave an indelible footprint, because with its superior location and flow of people, the store will definitely be prosperous.

He did it all.

After breaking up, Qin Jiakang worked hard to buy the bookstore and expand the business scale, just to keep the only memory between them.

Unfortunately, he was a step too late, the store has already been bought.

He was not reconciled, so he asked someone to find out the identity and preferences of the buyer, even if he paid several times the price, he would still take down the store.

When he knew that the buyer was Li Shiyao, he couldn't restrain the excitement and joy in his heart. Li Shiyao did not abandon their memories, and he repeatedly postponed the purchase plan.

Whenever he saw that store, he felt comforted in his heart, just like a terminally ill patient found a good medicine to cure his illness.

Because Li Shiyao owns this shop, it means that he still has a place in Li Shiyao's heart.

···

Thinking of this, Qin Jiakang's eyes were slightly moist, and he smiled wryly while covering his heart.

Li Shiyao hated him for being unscrupulous to He Xiao and focusing on his mental weakness, but why didn't Li Shiyao do the same.

Sometimes, Qin Jiakang would rather Li Shiyao not know him so well.

This trick is really murderous!

"It was my fault···"

It's all so painful, why are you still so obsessed with it?

the next day.

In the office, Li Shiyao and Xiao Wang were checking the order form, their heads buried in the pile of orders.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The first thing that catches the eye is Qin Jiakang's long legs. Although Xiao Wang doesn't like his personality, he must admit that his body proportions are too superior.

Qin Jiakang is dressed very casually today, it seems that he is full of energy, as if he has returned to more than ten years ago.His eyes fell directly on Li Shiyao, his eyes were full of affection, and he asked gently: "Excuse me?"

Xiao Wang couldn't wait to rush to Qin Jiakang, lift his ear and shout out, "Excuse me, please, please, please, please!"

Qin Jiakang obviously had something to say, but it was difficult to say it because of Xiao Wang's presence.

Li Shiyao thought for a while, and asked Xiao Wang to go out to monitor the progress of the decoration team.Xiao Wang reluctantly walked out of the office, and gave Qin Jiakang a gouging look behind his back.

"You say it."

Qin Jiakang pulled away the chair opposite him and sat on it, staring at Li Shiyao's indifferent eyes in a daze, then quickly cheered up.

"Actually back then..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shiyao interrupted his speech.

About what happened back then, Li Shiyao didn't want to mention it again, it was his unspeakable pain, and he didn't want to hear those shitty things from Qin Jiakang's mouth.

Li Shiyao raised his head, looked directly into Qin Jiakang's eyes, and said indifferently, "That's over."

The past meant that they were completely over. This cognition made Qin Jiakang's heart hurt so hard that he couldn't straighten up, making him unable to say what was hidden in his heart.

Li Shiyao couldn't understand why Qin Jiakang looked sad, just as he couldn't figure out why Qin Jiakang suddenly wanted to return to a normal person.

He's lost interest in both questions, though, and doesn't want to know the answers.

"We have missed it, don't waste your energy."

After finishing speaking, Li Shiyao ignored Qin Jiakang and buried himself in the order form again. From the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Jiakang maintaining the same posture, as if someone had fixed him.

Qin Jiakang looked at Li Shiyao ecstatically, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were filled with grief. He had long understood that the two of them could not go back, and that he was deceiving himself.

But he couldn't help it. When he thought that there was no possibility for the two of them, he felt so sad that he would die. If he was struck by lightning, his life would be worse than death.

Rather than asking him to believe that Li Shiyao no longer loves him, he would rather believe that this was Li Shiyao's angry words, and he was angry that he didn't rush to accompany him...

In those few minutes, he had a lot to say and many things to tell Li Shiyao, but when the words came to his mouth, he only had one question left.

"... have you ever loved me?"

Hearing this, Li Shiyao raised his head again, looked at Qin Jiakang's reddened eyes but pretended to be smiling, and he sighed in his heart.

Nature has loved.

In the second year of high school, they were officially together; in the second year of high school, he came out of the closet and fell out with his family, and had no contact with them anymore; in the senior year, they started a business together, ate bran swallowed vegetables, and instant noodles...

Every day for six years can prove that Li Shiyao once loved Qin Jiakang. If he didn't love Qin Jiakang, why would Li Shiyao suffer these crimes.

"You understand in your heart."

Qin Jiakang was still relentless, and said almost paranoidly: "I just want to hear you tell me yourself."

As long as Li Shiyao admits it, he seems to be able to find that balance point, and thinking of those years will give him a little comfort, which will make him let go and leave.

He looked at Li Shiyao beggingly, he would never disturb Li Shiyao's life again, he only needed one sentence, one sentence was enough.

Perhaps Qin Jiakang had never shown such a pitiful expression, and Li Shiyao was so different from the noble and arrogant him before, Li Shiyao still softened his heart.

"After you left, I nestled in the damp basement, ate instant noodles for a day, wore street stalls worth 30 yuan, and covered myself with a quilt cover worth 60 yuan..."

"I don't hate you for leaving, and I never blamed you."

"I have been depraved for a year, and I have explained our relationship."

Li Shiyao didn't mention whether he loved or not, but Qin Jiakang understood and found the answer he wanted.

In the last few minutes, a tear fell from the corner of Qin Jiakang's eyes, his eyes were reddish, he looked at Li Shiyao quietly, and said goodbye to Li Shiyao with a wry smile in his heart.

Qin Jiakang is not satisfied with such an ending, he hates such regrets in life,

If there is a parallel time and space, the other Qin Jiakang should not follow his old path, and must have a happy ending with Li Shiyao.
