If this sweet shell is destined to be peeled off by you

Yesterday's snow seemed to be just to wet the lovers' hair. After waking up, Xueyue even doubted her eyes. The road was so clean that not a single snowflake could be seen. The sun shone in, warming people's hearts.

The weather is so nice.So sigh.

It was nearly twelve o'clock at noon, and there were not many people going out.Although my job at the bar called "The Kisser" is not the nine-to-five hours of ordinary office workers, it also happens to allow me to escape the morning rush hour tram like a can of sardines.Crowded in the sweltering crowd, Xueyue will always feel helpless.It's stuffy, and sometimes there are all kinds of smells, whether it's strong perfume for men or women, or the smell of heavy breakfast, the smell of alcohol that doesn't come home from drinking all night, some even sweat easily, mixed together , It was a disaster, but I could only cry out in my heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, I found this job with a good salary and no need to squeeze the tram.

Packed up and went out, ate a breakfast that was supposed to be lunch, and walked leisurely towards the small cafe a few hundred meters away from the bar.

"Welcome, Mr. Inoue, there is no one by the window, is it still the same?"

The enthusiastic service staff is full of appropriate smiles, and they don't even intend to show the menu for ordering, because Mr. Inoue only orders a cup of coffee and sits for a while every time he comes.

"Well, thank you as usual."

Without looking at the waiter seriously, Xue Yue walked to a small table for two by the window, put down the book in her hand, and began to read carefully.

It is not a well-known masterpiece. The person who wrote this book should be a newcomer at the beginning, but it suits Xueyue's appetite. It looks very relaxed, with a touch of sadness, not heavy or complicated, and it is very enough to pass the time of.

Xueyue is not a person who likes to read very much, most of the books at home are works by the name "Kang Si".The name is unknown, and there are not many works. In the past few years, Xueyue has only collected 7 books, which are almost all the works of this named Kang Si.

"Here, your latte, please."

The sugar content is double, and the latte, which already has a lot of milk, tastes like drinking bottled coffee milk.Xueyue likes this kind of sweetness, and the bitterness of coffee is not as smooth as the stimulating taste of various alcohols. He is the type of person who is afraid of bitterness.

"Loneliness, in the end, still lingers in this man's heart, lingering for a long time. Even if it is 10 or 20 years, he can't guarantee that he can forget the lover he gave his heart to with both hands."

Looking at the words on the book, the incomprehensible confusion that appeared in Xueyue's head as usual made Xueyue fall into deep thought again.

What is love and why is it lonely.

Looking at the so-called "loneliness" that I couldn't understand, I decided to close the book.Next, let's throw it to tomorrow and continue.

After finishing the coffee, the clerk gave Xueyue a very cute smile at the checkout, it was a very unformal smile, mischievous with a hint of shyness.Xueyue, who is also engaged in the service industry, felt that she couldn't make this smile herself, so she just politely responded with a decent smile and left the store.

The store was not open at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, but the store manager arrived early. Seeing Xueyue's expressionless face as usual, he couldn't help complaining as usual.

"Xueyue, look at your expression, you won't be favored by women."

The smile on the face of the store manager, who was just drinking tea while holding the cup, was quite teasing.It's not a special thing for someone to talk to me when changing clothes, but the store manager put one arm on Xueyue's shoulder very unceremoniously. button.

"It's good that you are welcome, manager."

"You are an adult, why do you live so abstinent every day. Even if you don't have a girlfriend, it's good to have a boyfriend?"

The store manager, who didn't mind, leaned against the cabinet with a relaxed smile in his eyes.

"Stop teasing your clerk, manager, I'm off to work, I'm off to work."

Hurrying to escape from the store manager's side, Xue Yue chose to pack things with the bartender at the bar.

Looking at the helpless Xueyue, the bartender Jie Luo just smiled.

"Why, the store manager harassed you again?"

Sighing, Xueyue just let out a soft ah.

"Don't mind, it's not that you don't know the store manager. By the way, what happened to you yesterday?"

Seeing Jie Luo's questioning eyes, Xue Yue didn't know how to answer.

"Yesterday I couldn't concentrate, but I didn't think there was any problem. The store manager only said that my ugly face affected the customers and asked me to leave early and go home. I'm sorry, was the store busy yesterday?"

Some embarrassing answers, Xue Yue wanted to explain, but she herself didn't quite understand what the store manager meant.

"Fortunately, it's not very busy. After all, there are not many people coming to drink on Valentine's Day. But what I care about is you. Yesterday your face was really as ugly as the store manager said. It's worrying..."

"Uh...I'm fine, except that I'm not concentrating, but my body is fine. I feel the same as usual, and I don't think there's anything wrong..."

Putting down the cup and plate in her hand, Xueyue leaned against the bar a little discouraged, listening to the light music, the slightly depressed atmosphere and yesterday's events made Xueyue unable to think seriously.

"Here, Xueyue, cheer up, you are still handsome today."

"Thank you, Mr. Gero."

Jie Luo handed over a glass of lemonade, holding the warm glass in his hand made people feel at ease, Xue Yue smiled gratefully at Jie Luo who was propping his arms on the bar.

Looking at Xueyue who was smiling, Jie Luo exaggeratedly covered his chest with his hands, and looked up intoxicated.

"Ah! Oops, I'm going to get drunk if I don't drink. Xueyue, you're so foul when you laugh, I'm about to fall in love with you."

Xueyue couldn't help laughing even more while holding the cup, the lemon slices were swaying in the transparent warm water.

"It's really an honor to be loved by the very popular Mr. Jero."

The atmosphere of the two was cheerful, but the store manager who turned around looked like he was about to cry, and with the same exaggerated face, he walked into the bar in two steps, stretched his arms and grabbed Jie Luo's sleeve, looking like he had lost his lover .

"Oh! Mydearzero, don't you love me? Are you going to leave me? Ah! Don't go! Please continue to love me! I can't live without your love~"

Seeing the exaggerated performance of the two, even though Xue Yue tried her best to suppress it, she couldn't help laughing and her body trembled, she hurriedly put the cup back on the bar to avoid it from being knocked over.

The first to lose was Gero.

"I was wrong! Sorry! Manager, please don't...my fault, my fault, please forgive me, manager."

Jie Luo, who was about to burst into tears from laughter, begged for mercy from the affectionate store manager, and really couldn't bear this turbulent Romeo-style plot.Although the store manager is not old, but rather handsome, both Jie Luo and Xue Yue know that the store manager just likes to joke like this.

"What... this is unbearable, you don't have the potential to be an actor, Jieluo."

"I don't want——, it's more comfortable to live a real life. Right? Xueyue."

Without replying to Jie Luo, Xue Yue just smiled and looked at the rather frivolous store manager.

Withdrawing his arms and tidying up his clothes, the manager looked decent again, took the teacup and turned back to the lounge behind, leaving Xueyue wiping tears and Jie Luo covered in goose bumps.

Xueyue, who had just packed up her appearance, was startled when she turned around, because there was a female customer standing at the entrance who was staring blankly at the three people who had just made a farce, Xueyue didn't have time to change back to the "work-specific expression" Somewhat caught off guard, he hurriedly coughed and tried to shake what happened just now out of his mind.

"Welcome, guest, how many guests?"

"Ah...one."

The female customer who had just reacted hurriedly walked to the side seat with some embarrassment.

"It is my pleasure to serve you, beautiful lady, what would I like to order?"

Standard grooming, moderate politeness, as if nothing happened just now, Xueyue served her with a smile.

"Uh... that... do you have any recommendations?"

"Good guest, today I recommend you the popular drink 'Pink Wave', which is made from grapefruit juice mixed with whiskey, mixed with milk, coffee, etc. Because the proportion of whiskey is very small, the alcohol content is very low and the taste is smooth , has been very popular among female customers recently.”

Patiently recommending for customers, and ignoring the unnatural eyes of customers by the way, Xueyue decently served the first customer in front of her.

"Okay, that's it. Thank you"

"OK, just a second."

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the guest calling.

"that……"

Turning around, Xueyue continued to wait for the customer to speak.

"Just now...you..."

"I'm very sorry, the store manager was joking just now, please don't take it to heart."

After replying with a smile, Xue Yue, who turned around and walked towards the bar, was sweating.Although the store manager also likes to laugh and play like this on weekdays, he is rarely so casual in front of customers.After all, according to the store manager's attitude, no matter whether the customers who come to the store are men or women, as long as he thinks he has the intention, he will probably go hunting with an attitude of a gentleman on the surface but a hooligan behind his back.

"Mr. Jero, a glass of pink pop."

"Okay ok~"

Jie Luo was busy making wine, and the shop with only one customer seemed very deserted, and even the music played was very soothing and elegant piano music.This made Xueyue feel a little relaxed physically and mentally. After serving the customers, she chose the pillar next to the bar to lean against, and felt comfortable doing nothing.

Just after five o'clock, office workers and nocturnal workers began to move out, the bar became lively, and the store manager also came out in uniform, doing service work.Of course, I also want to have some fun by the way.Xueyue didn't have time to continue resting.

The bar is not very big, the number of tables is limited, and there are a few people sitting at the bar. Men and women, whoever makes a couple, is of the same sex, because this store itself is a gay bar, and the door also clearly says "Welcome singles, or same-sex couples. Opposite-sex couples are recommended to choose a couple hotel.” Although such a spicy logo feels a bit weird, so far there are really no opposite-sex couples, most of whom are single or same-sex couples.

At first, Xueyue couldn’t figure out why it was marked like this, why it’s okay to be single, but not heterosexual. The store manager’s answer was, “Single men and women don’t matter, as long as you meet the right person, you can develop.” But in fact, Xueyue later Only then did I gradually understand that although modern society is much more tolerant of homosexuals, they themselves have an inexplicable sense of uneasiness that the other party is looking at them with strange eyes when dealing with heterosexuals.

For Xueyue, a simple individual who has never been in love, but only experienced love in novels, love itself is a blank, there is no discrimination against homosexual love, and there is no throbbing towards heterosexual love.

Although it is almost every day to see two men, or two women going in and out at the same time, some like bold flirting, some are more focused on eye contact, but everyone's eyes reflect each other's appearance, or look of expectation or obsession , let Xueyue have a little expectation that she wants to know, and she will also have the idea of ​​shrinking when the hot eyes are directly on her.

Lovers come and go, sometimes regular customers come to exchange partners, but because the lights are dim, it is difficult to find that the lover who once exchanged eye contact with him is sitting in front of another same sex, with the same heat, again Repeatedly ironing each other's eyes.

A figure appeared at the door, then closed the door, and no one else came in. It seems that the customer came alone.

"Welcome... Mr. Maeda?!"

The tall man in front of him, although still wearing the slightly rigid glasses, was clearly dressed differently from yesterday. A gray jacket was lined with fitted light blue jeans, and a white T-shirt was inside the open coat. With one hand in his trouser pocket.

Standing where he was and didn't speak, Maeda also seemed to be taken aback, was a little dazed, and then laughed.

"It turns out that you work here, I'm really lucky."

Maeda, who was thinking in his heart, showed no unnaturalness on his face.Very casually, he followed Xueyue and sat beside the bar.
