A touch of sunrise

When Lu Qi got off the taxi and stood in front of the store where he had lost face yesterday, Lu Qi felt a splitting headache.

What an inexplicable fate.

Lu Qi couldn't refuse Ru Xiaomin at this time, she had already opened the store door generously and stepped in, and now she only hoped that the waiter was not on duty.

When entering the store, when the still bright smile came into view, the expectation was in vain, but Lu Qi didn't feel much annoyed or disappointed because of it. To be able to see that smile again, to be honest, Lu Qi's heart is not in line with the owner. The mentality throbbed again.

Ru Xiaomin seemed to like desserts very much. After she was seated, she changed from the quiet and elegant restaurant before, and started talking about desserts, which surprised Lu Qi.

Ru Xiaomin kept talking about which desserts are moderately sweet and sour, which desserts are difficult to make, and which online celebrity dessert shops are actually not tasty at all.Lu Qi responded gently, occasionally interjecting a few questions to catch up with her emotional changes. In fact, she didn't remember what she said at all, and she was even a little impatient.

Several times, when the waiter shuttled between the tables to deliver drinks or cakes to other tables, he attracted Lu Qi's attention. He didn't dare to look at him, and only secretly glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.

He has a very good figure, he can be seen to exercise regularly, with some muscles, wide shoulders, narrow waist and hips, he is a standard model figure.His face is quite small, with sharp edges and corners, a straight nose, a dimple and a small canine tooth.

Ru Xiaomin talked for more than two hours before she stopped, just in time for Lu Qi to take a thorough look at the waiter.

Ru Xiaomin wanted to get up to pay the bill, so Lu Qi consciously took the first step, and ran to the cashier to call the waiter.

"Sir, a total of 88 yuan."

Lu Qi put out the QR code without raising his eyes. He felt that he had peeped at him too many times before, and now he was a little guilty, so he tried not to show too much emotion on his face.

"Welcome next time!"

When Lu Qi and Ru Xiaomin left, a waiter's voice sounded behind him, and Ru Xiaomin turned around and waved at him with a smile.

Lu Qi felt sour, and thought mockingly, really good-looking people can eat everywhere, even if they are waiters, they are easy to be liked and treated well, and they will always think about seeing each other again next time, including People like him are also very good at this.

However, he just looked at it, Lu Qi is still the type who is too persistent and persistent in his relationship, otherwise he would not be so trapped in the previous relationship that he couldn't extricate himself, so that he seemed to be a different person in the end, and he didn't expect much. He can still meet someone to accompany him for the rest of his life, not to mention, the other party has to be a man.

Lu Qi sent Ru Xiaomin home, said goodbye to her tenderly, and said nonsense like I am very happy today and will meet again next time.Not mentioning the dessert, Ru Xiaomin returned to her quiet and easy-going appearance, smiling slightly and telling Lu Qi to be careful on the way back.The two separated.

Lu Qi didn't feel her concern and didn't take it seriously, thinking that if he died in a car accident on the way home, she, who had only met twice, might not shed a tear for him.Lu Qi suddenly thought, is it because he has said too much hypocritical nonsense, and it is even more impossible for him to believe that when others say it, it will be emotional.

Lu Qi thought of the waiter again, and thought of the so-called loved ones he had once had, and felt that no matter how superficially he seemed to treat you well, he could say no to his feelings, just let him go.Lu Qi doesn't have this kind of ability, so it's better to fake it.

When he got home, Lu Qi still took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ru Xiaomin, wanting to meet up next time.He still has some affection for Ru Xiaomin, but this affection has nothing to do with love and friendship, it's simply that this person looks better than others.

Ru Xiaomin replied quickly, she seemed to have a good impression of Lu Qi, and said that there is a new movie coming up recently, do you want to watch it together.Lu Qi agreed and chose the night of the weekday after the festival.

The blind date with Ru Xiaomin last month was specially arranged by the company's executives. While it was difficult for Lu Qi to refuse his kindness, it was also inconvenient for him to refuse the kindness of his immediate boss.The other party said that Ru Xiaomin was a relative of his relative's neighbor. Lu Qi didn't care much about how well-behaved and outstanding she was, and the relationship itself was far away.This is not the first time for Lu Qi to go on a blind date. What kind of person the middleman introduces to the other party is completely different.

A month later, Lu Qi actually couldn't remember the advantages of Ru Xiaomin that the boss introduced to him. Anyway, now it seems that Ru Xiaomin is not too bad.

Lu Qi simply thought that it would be fine to get in touch again.

On the second holiday, Lu Qi was too lazy to go out, but he still got up early and ate bread.Lu Qi cleaned the room all morning, and tidied it up, took out some old clothes and unused things, and disposed of them all.

From the bedroom to the kitchen and the toilet, Lu Qi suddenly found that he hadn't cleaned up his house for a long time, and he was able to sort out two bags of useless things. Already unsightly.

Lu Qi doesn't have much self-care ability in life. It should be said that he is too lazy to have it, even though he can.He didn't bother to think about what to eat, so he just ate something similar to what he was used to. He didn't want to think about what to wear today, so he bought clothes that looked similar.Anything given to him by others, he doesn't want to deal with it or put it aside without taking it seriously, it is useless after putting it away, and finally throws it away.

Suddenly recalling the embarrassment the day before yesterday, according to Lu Qi's temperament, that discount coupon made Lu Qi take it seriously in his heart, but in the end he lost someone.I don't know where the mentality of not admitting defeat came from, Lu Qi wanted to go to the company immediately to get the envelope, and then go to that store again.

By coincidence, Lu Qi did just that. He came to the closed company on a non-working day.The office was unusually deserted, which was perfectly normal, and people like Lu Qi would probably come to the company on holidays to get a discount coupon when they were bored.

Sure enough, Lu Qi forgot the coupon on the desk. He picked it up and rubbed it, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

So, what if you get it?Go to the store and use coupons to buy a loan of bread to eat at home?

Lu Qi quickly dismissed this idea, so many years later that person always complained why Lu Qi had to give up at that time, why didn't he come to meet him earlier, although many years later, Lu Qi still didn't understand why he was late. What is the difference between a month and a month earlier.

In the end, Lu Qi took the envelope home and put it in the pile of useless things. He didn't remember it until he moved later.

The following days are no different from the past, but there is a little difference.

Lu Qi and Ru Xiaomin started dating, once or twice a week, they either had dinner together or watched movies, and Lu Qi came for the meal money, and Ru Xiaomin ordered movies online.Talking about daily work topics during meals, discussing the plot and after-view after watching the movie, this step-by-step date is too routine, but Ru Xiaomin never complains, and seems to be very adaptable to this state, of course, except for the dessert when.

It lasted like this for a month, and the progress of the relationship was very slow, but the two never had a dispute. Regarding public opinion topics or content that would involve the Three Views, they held a respectful attitude towards each other. They would discuss with each other but found that they had different opinions. Sometimes the tacit understanding is no longer deep.Lu Qi felt that Ru Xiaomin was very mature and stable, and treated people well. He was already the HR manager of a large company, so he wondered why she was single and unmarried.

In Ru Xiaomin's words, it is because she is too smart and rational that she is not liked by her peers or more mature men. Many men prefer cute, brainless and pretentious little girls.Lu Qi felt that this was indeed the case, and was also surprised that Ru Xiaomin was so calm, maybe he felt that the two had a suitable personality so he was outspoken.

Lu Qi couldn't tell her that he didn't like women. At the same time, he felt that maybe if she pretended to be fake and used a little bit of tricks, she would definitely not be a person who would worry about marrying. The temperament will not choose to pretend to compromise on life.This point made Lu Qi a little admired.

If you are destined, you will always meet the person who is suitable for you and can be with you at the right time. If you don't have it, forget it.These words are both beautiful and desolate. From the first two words, Lu Qi was sure that only the second half of the sentence would happen to him.

One weekend, the two originally made an appointment to meet at the dessert shop that Ru Xiaomin liked so much a month ago, and then they went to participate in the newly added dating project-drama.

"Something happened at home, I'm really sorry." Lu Qi, who had been waiting in the store for a long time, was suddenly told by Ru Xiaomin.

"It's okay, please tell me if you need help." Lu Qi had no choice but to answer.

Tickets were all set, and dessert drinks were ordered. Lu Qi, who was suddenly dove, sighed, and had no choice but to pick up the fork to eat the two desserts in front of him.While eating the dessert, he began to look around, and suddenly remembered what happened when he came here a month ago, and also remembered the cheerful smile that he hadn't completely forgotten.

Lu Qi looked for it with his eyes, but he didn't see the waiter, and felt a little pity.Lowering his head, Lu Qi felt that his current appearance was a bit strange and embarrassing.A man ordered two meals, but there was no one on the other side, and he was eating in silence. No matter how you looked at it, he was a poor man whose appointment was suddenly rejected by his girlfriend.Of course, this is indeed the case.

Suddenly there was a voice above his head: "Mister, alone? Order too much, if you can't eat, you can return it."

Lu Qi looked up and saw that it was the waiter he was looking for just now.He was wearing plain clothes and hadn't changed into the work clothes with the shop logo on it. He was smiling at Lu Qi, showing a little dimple.

In fact, as a stranger asking such a question, it would be somewhat strange, and the small-minded would feel offended.Lu Qi didn't think too much about it, he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I haven't had lunch yet." At the same time, he smiled back at him.

The man said again: "Do you want to eat pasta, sir? You can't just eat cakes."

Lu Qi was a little surprised. Isn't this a bakery and dessert shop? How can there be pasta? He looked at him suspiciously.

The man explained: "It's my private menu."

"Okay, please have one."

"What flavor do you want? Bacon and cheese?"

"Okay, thank you."

In fact, Lu Qi had already had lunch, and they were quick-frozen dumplings bought in the supermarket. They were not very tasty, so they just filled his stomach.Now he is not hungry, but he complied involuntarily, and lost half of his usual posture of negotiating with suppliers.When Lu Qi came back to his senses, he was a little flustered, and his heart throbbed as fiercely as when he saw him the last two times.

No matter how you look at it, that person is a few years younger than Lu Qi, and he still has the childishness of a college student who just entered the society.Lu Qi was a little annoyed, how could he be fascinated by that smile, this kind of emotion seemed to be the feeling when he bought something that others enthusiastically promoted but was actually useless for some reason. Of course, Lu Qi has been doing this kind of thing for almost 30 years There are not many times in my life.

Fortunately, this time, it's not a waste of money, but rather, it's a very good thing.

The pasta is very fragrant, the cheese is rich, the noodles are firm and delicious.Lu Qi was obviously not hungry, and after a few snores, the plate was empty, and the warmth surged up in his stomach, which made people feel very satisfied.

Seeing that Lu Qi had finished eating, the man came over and asked him, "Is it delicious?"

Lu Qi nodded: "It's okay."

Lu Qi is like this, he thinks it is delicious in his heart, but he always has to leave some room for his mouth, he doesn't want to show too much likes and emotions in front of others, the best evaluation is always only good.He knew that he had this kind of indifference, in order to maintain a relationship with people, he would choose to praise others, but at the moment, he didn't care much about that person's feeling of not being praised.

The man smiled, and was still standing by the table where Lu Qi was sitting, as if he didn't intend to take the plate away.By the time the pasta was delivered, he had changed into his overalls, which was still wearing a pink bib.

Lu Qi looked at him, and he felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange sensitively.

The man spoke first: "Didn't the lady from last time come?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across Lu Qi's face, and then he was a little embarrassed and ashamed. Several emotions were mixed together. Lu Qi quickly cleared up his face and replied, "Well, something happened to her suddenly."

Of course, what surprised Lu Qi was that the man recognized him. He only came here twice a month ago.This store is not too big or small, and it is also considered to be near the commercial area. There may be familiar faces in the store who will be remembered by the staff of the store when people come and go every day, but Lu Qi doesn't count it as such.Could it be because of that discount coupon?But this kind of thing is not necessarily something that only Lu Qi can forget, and it is not worth them remembering.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi suddenly figured out if this person was accosting him.

Sure enough, the man asked again: "Do you work near here?"

"Hmm. It's really near here." Lu Qi thought for a while, and he would pass by this store when he was commuting to and from the subway station, but he often walked on the opposite sidewalk. For those who have never changed their commute route, Lu Qi usually does not come here on purpose.

"Next time you pass by, you can come to buy breakfast, add a WeChat official account to register as a VIP in the store, and there will be a discount." The man said, smiling and winking at Lu Qi.

Maybe it was because the smile of the person in front of him was so pretty, Lu Qi lost his mind, and then nodded in response: "Okay, thank you." They are here to promote the official account and VIP membership, and the rhetoric is obviously similar to that of the hairdresser and shampoo girl in the barber shop who asks for a membership card.Suddenly, I felt that what I thought before was a bit self-indulgent, maybe it was caused by professional sensitivity.

Lu Qi was lowering his head to adjust his mentality.The man started again: "Why don't you sign up for one now?"

Lu Qi thought to himself that this person was trying too hard, but he still took out his mobile phone. In this world, people do not reach out to smile.The man approached directly and instructed Lu Qi to open WeChat, search for the official account and follow, and then register as a VIP member step by step.Lu Qi also agreed, this kind of online media marketing method is considered commonplace nowadays.

Suddenly, a text message was inserted into the top of the screen of the mobile phone, which reminded Lu Qi that the online shopping drama would start in five hours, and it was recommended to go to redeem the ticket in advance.

The man saw it too, and asked, "Hey, did you buy a ticket for this play?"

"Yeah." Lu Qi was a little surprised. This drama is not too popular, and there are many shows, so it's not impossible to buy it.

"I'm going to watch it, but unfortunately I didn't get today's show." The man said, with a bit of regret in his tone, and then asked earnestly: "Is the lady accompanying you unable to go, can you give up the ticket to me?" I?"

Lu Qi frowned imperceptibly. Although Ru Xiaomin really couldn't come, he didn't have any friends to make a temporary appointment. He didn't even think about making appointments with clients or colleagues, and the ticket couldn't be changed or refunded temporarily. Tickets are tantamount to waste.But for someone who has only met three times, Lu Qi still feels a little weird that the two tickets are for consecutive seats and will sit next to him.

"Please, can I give you a free bill today?" Seeing that Lu Qi didn't answer, the man continued, very flattering.

Lu Qi finally agreed.The man seemed very happy, and immediately added Lu Qi's WeChat account and transferred money to him.Later, when he was sitting in the store waiting for him to get off work, Lu Qi suddenly thought that Alipay could be used to make money?

Afterwards, the man introduced himself from head to toe. His name is Wu Yuyi, and he has only been in the second year since graduating from Australia.Wu Yuyi is not a waiter or a cashier, he is the manager of this store. In fact, his aunt bought this store for him to play with. It doesn't matter whether the profit or loss is there, but Wu Yuyi is very serious in his work, as a young entrepreneur.

Wu Yuyi's WeChat profile picture is a cat, which he had raised when he was in college, and was brought back by air when he graduated.

Lu Qi has no special feelings for pets or furry things. Generally, people who live alone would want a companion or emotional sustenance.Lu Qi felt that he didn't feel lonely and had nothing to entrust. When many people offered him how cute their dogs and cats were and suggested him to get one, Lu Qi only said that he would consider it, but he didn't particularly like it. The class is perfunctory.

Wu Yuyi said a long time later that if Lu Qi sternly refused at that time, he might really have retreated. According to Lu Qi's temperament, it is unlikely that there will be them later.Lu Qi asked him with a smile, how could Wu Yuyi remember him at that time.Wu Yuyi replied that it was because Lu Qi peeped at him that time was so cute.
