    Qiao Xi has been working in "Tangtang" for several days, and gradually began to adapt to the rhythm of work.

    So he thought about spending the morning time drawing, so as not to delay his schoolwork.

    Although there is still more than half a year before the final of INAD, and the theme is not clear, Qiao Xi still wants to contact as much as possible.

    After all, the original owner was so good, he didn't want to lose the reputation of the original owner.

    "Brother Tang, I'm here." Qiao Xi pushed open the door.

    Ke Tang slumped on the recliner as usual, if the color of the clothes on his body hadn't changed, Qiao Xi would have thought that this man had never left.

    "Oh, then give me a caramel macchiato, no caramel, less milk!"

    Qiao Xi was very speechless: "Wouldn't it be better just to say that you want to drink latte?"

    Ke Tang lazily performed a salty fish turnaround: "You have to meet all the needs of the guests, and don't question them."

    Qiao Xi complied helplessly, and went to the workshop to change clothes and fresh materials.

    The work clothes of "Tangtang" are black and white shirts with a low neckline, and Qiao Xi usually wears them directly over his T-shirt.

    After heating up the equipment, Qiao Xi quickly made a caramel macchiato that met the requirements, and then served it out.

    There is also a small round table next to Ke Tang's royal recliner, which is an important prop for him to complete eating and drinking tasks without leaving the recliner.

    Stretching out his hand to pick up the coffee, Ke Tang took a sip of the rich milk froth, glanced at Qiao Xi who was cleaning the table next to him, and frowned suddenly.

    "Why don't you wear an apron, sir?"

    In front of the boss, Qiao Xi flipped a big Byakugan: "You can also say it, how to wear that apron!"

    The standard work clothes of "Tang Tang" are shirts and aprons.

    It wasn't that Qiao Xi was rebellious, it was the style of the apron that made him feel ashamed to wear it, even though there were no customers in the shop.

    "Why can't I wear it, such a beautiful apron!" Unconvinced, Ke Tang pointed to the operating room, "Take it here, let's tear it apart! The apron costs hundreds of dollars, but if I hang Taobao, buy oneThere are people who buy it for two or three thousand!"

    In order to be unconventional and different, Ke Tang specially found a friend who designed the work clothes in the store.

    Exclusive customization, never hit the shirt!

    Qiao Xi sneered, and took out an apron from the operating room.

    This apron is also black and white, but the difference is that the edge of this apron is white lace, there is a huge bow at the waist, and the undulating folds below make the apron a bit fluffy and cute.

    It's a bit like Lolita, a cute girl.

    "Just tell me, how do you wear this apron!" Qiao Xi pushed the apron forward, almost hitting Ke Tang's face.

    Because the distance is too close, Ke Tang's eyes become cross-eyed unconsciously.

    "Ah, here," Ke Tang scratched his head shyly, "isn't this pretty?"

    Qiao Xi immediately laughed angrily: "It's so pretty, so boss, you go out for a walk in it? By the way, attract some customers to the store."

    Lo skirt with chest hair, or the first time!

    Seeing Qiao Xi's distorted face, Ke Tang moved his butt back silently, and carefully explained: "This is not what I thought would attract the female shop assistants, what a cute style, woo woo woo!"

    Qiao Xi sneered, and stuffed the apron back into the operating room.

    In the final analysis, Ke Tang was still reluctant to spend money to make another batch of aprons, probably because he saw through this store that it was difficult for employees to generate income.

    "Hey, Xi Xizi, what's wrong with your hand?" Ke Tang knew he was wrong, and was about to lie back when he caught sight of Qiao Xi's elbow from the corner of his eye.

    It was red, as if injured.

    Qiao Xi raised his hand and saw the red marks on his arm: "Oh, it's okay, it's stained with paint, I'm going to wash it off."

    It was only then that Ke Tang realized that Qiao Xi University’s major was oil painting.

    Ke Tang: "My God, I always thought you were from the dance department!"

    Qiao Xi didn't understand why there was such a misunderstanding, and without waiting for him to ask, Ke Tang took the initiative to explain: "There are several movements in our store's town dance, which are very difficult, but you can do it, the flexibility is really good!"

    Thinking of the suffocatingly wonderful town shop dance, Qiao Xi once again felt the sadness of Eggy.

    "Do you usually draw at home?"

    "That's right, there will be a more important competition in half a year." Tired of standing and chatting, Qiao Xi simply sat down on the sofa.

    "Well, that's it." Ke Tang propped his chin and yawned, "Then why don't you bring your drawing board to the store, since there are no customers anyway."

    Qiao Xi was slightly startled: "Is it possible?"

    Ke Tang waved his hand and raised the fancy blanket on his body: "It's ok, so you won't be bored."

    After these few days of observation, he finally discovered that the life of a small employee like himself is quite boring.

    Clean up as required every day, prepare materials, and then either write a diary, or look at passers-by outside in a daze.

    After all, in this Internet age, there are very few people who don't play with mobile phones or computers.

    Qiao Xi was so happy to be allowed to bring painting tools to the cafe, and the next day the bags were shipped over.

    Seeing him carrying so many things, Ke Tang was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair.

    "Fuck, you're moving!"

    Qiao Xi explained embarrassingly: "No, these are all painting tools, buckets, brushes, shovels, paints..."

    Qiao Xi spread out the tools and introduced them to Ke Tang one by one.

    Ke Tang was amazed: "As expected of an artist, this is very particular. This is the first time I know that painting requires so many tools."

    Qiao Xi smiled, found a place with good lighting, and carefully placed the drawing board and tools.

    After finishing his daily work, Ke Tang watched a movie with AR glasses on the recliner.

    Seeing that nothing was wrong, Qiao Xi made a cup of coffee for the boss before going to paint.

    The position of the drawing board is by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe, and there is an awning outside the window. The sunlight distribution in this position is beautiful, and it is not exposed to the sun.

    Qiao Xi sat down, conceived for a while, and began to take shape.

    Today's weather is fine, sunny, with a light feather cloud in the sky.

    Passers-by on the street are wearing fashionable clothes, exquisite makeup, and hurrying.The high-heeled shoes made a clicking sound on the floor tiles, forming a corner of this bustling city.

    The various colors on the canvas are dyed layer by layer, skyscrapers gradually take shape, and then pedestrians intersect.

    When he looked out of the window again, Qiao Xi's brush froze.

    On the opposite side of the street, a tall man in a neat suit led a few people forward and bent over to shake hands with a gray-haired old man who got out of the car.

    Even at a distance, Qiao Xi could still see the faint smile on the man's handsome face.

    In the sun, it looks a little dazzling...

    Qiao Xi bit her lower lip, then laughed out of nowhere, turned the pen tip, and put this scene into her own painting.

    This can be regarded as an unexpected harvest, although the falling body painting can't be done, but at least it has drawn a distant view.

    Ke Tang on the side took off his AR glasses, and was about to ask Qiao Xi to make another cup of coffee, when he bumped into Qiao Xi laughing.

    Ke Tang stretched his head curiously, following his line of sight.

    Yo ho, boy!

    Isn't this his good brother?

    Look at Qiao Xi again, Xiaomian, with such a sweet smile, as if she is about to get married.

    Ke Tang secretly took out his mobile phone and wanted to take a sneak photo of Qiao Xi.

    Under the sun, the young man was wearing a black and white shirt, sitting in front of the drawing board, with a straight figure, a smile on his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips raised into a crescent moon.

    Ke Tang studied the angle, and pressed the shooting button unskillfully

    "Crack!"

    In the quiet cafe, the sound was particularly abrupt.

    Ke Tang was numb, why did the phone make the sound of taking pictures, like a thunderbolt.

    Qiao Xi heard the sound and looked over, Ke Tang frantically stuffed the phone under his buttocks.

    The two looked at each other, Ke Tang pulled his stiff face, and said: "Ahem...I'm taking pictures of the scenery."

    Qiao Xi didn't know why, so he smiled and didn't care.

    Ke Tang took a long breath, forced himself to take out his cell phone calmly, found Shen Xiucheng's VX, and sent a picture.

    [Candy Boy: [Picture] My brother Shen, you don't even know how much I have paid for you!]

    Qiao Xi lowered his head and drew seriously, not noticing that the person on the other side of the street looked down at the phone and raised his head again.

    Looking at the cafe across the street, Shen Xiucheng could vaguely see someone sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Shen Xiucheng couldn't help but curl his lips.

    Lower your head and long press to save the picture, then reply.

    [Shen: The filming is not bad.]

    "Cheng's little object? It's a success!"

    Realizing that he was being teased by the old man around him, the corners of Shen Xiucheng's lips widened, he raised his phone calmly, and said with a smile to the old man, "Do you think it looks good?"

    The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully, then nodded with certainty: "It looks good, whose child is so handsome?"

    Shen Xiucheng put away his mobile phone, without revealing Qiao Xi's identity: "You don't need to know this for now."

    The old man laughed loudly, and patted Shen Xiucheng's hand: "Ah Cheng has grown up, and has a little secret with grandpa."

    Shen Xiucheng didn't respond, but heard the old man change the subject: "Is it really a small object?"

    Thinking of those messy thoughts recently, Shen Xiucheng paused slightly, and said calmly: "Grandpa, what are you thinking, this kid is only twenty, I can even be his father."

    Zhao Yuming, that is, Shen Xiucheng's grandfather clicked his tongue twice: "What's wrong with twenty, I'm still fourteen years behind your grandma."

    "Let me tell you, as long as you have a thick skin, you won't be able to catch up with anyone. Your grandma thought I was too young and naive back then. What happened in the end? Didn't she become my daughter-in-law and spent most of her life with me!"

    When it comes to his daughter-in-law, Zhao Yuming's interest is aroused, and he can't stop talking about his love in his youth.

    Shen Xiucheng replied with a smile: "Yes, yes, I have heard about your love eight hundred times, or I will write it down for you silently."

    Zhao Yuming slapped him on the shoulder: "You are the only one who will be poor. I am here to teach you experience. Seeing how foolish you are, you will have to suffer a lot in the future."

    On the way home at night, Shen Xiucheng looked at his phone again, only to find that Ke Tang had sent him two more messages later.

    [Candy Knocking Boy: Damn, I found that this kid is really attractive, the more you look at it, the better it is!]

    [Candy Knock Boy: Painting is also pretty, why don't you like it, it's rare for me to look at it.]

    Shen Xiucheng frowned, and replied with flying fingers.

    [Shen: Qiao Xi is already twenty, don't call me childish, call me by name.Also, don't keep looking at him, he looks like a hungry ghost!]

    Ke Tang was watching a small video on his mobile phone, and when he saw the message, he immediately squinted his eyes, and sounded a suspicious little siren in his heart.

    [Candy Knocking Boy: No, I, Brother Shen, why do you sound jealous when you answer this?]

    However, there was no reply from the other side.

    Ke Tang did not give up, and added information again.

    [Candy boy: I'm still not your favorite person, why don't you speak?]

    This time the reply came exceptionally quickly, with punctuation.

    "User Shen has turned on friend verification, you are not his (her) friend yet, please..."

    Ke Tang: TAT I poked your lungs, so cruel!

    After arriving home, the villa was already silent.

    Shen Xiucheng went up to the second floor, paused, and walked in the opposite direction of his room.

    "Boom, boom, boom!" The knock on the door at night was particularly prominent.

    Shen Xiucheng looked at the time again, it was eleven o'clock.

    At this time, Mrs. Yang and Xiaolan have already fallen asleep, but Shen Xiucheng knows that Qiao Xi must not be asleep yet.

    Every time he went home, he would see the light in Qiao Xi's room was on, obviously he was a night owl.

    After standing and waiting for a while, footsteps were heard inside, and then the door was pulled open with a "click".

    A fluffy head stuck out: "Who is it?"

    Seeing the other party's sleepy look, Shen Xiucheng was slightly startled: "Are you already asleep?"

    Because he just got up from the bed, Qiao Xi's hair was disheveled, his face was flushed, and there was a mark on his face.

    The pajamas on her body were loose and tilted to one side, revealing her delicate collarbone. Under the short pajama pants, there were fair and beautiful legs, and her feet stepped on the dark coffee-colored wooden floor, giving her a different kind of beauty.

    His eyes lingered, Shen Xiucheng's throat rolled, and he took a step forward unconsciously, bringing people under his control.

    With such a distance, one could smell the faint citrus fragrance from Qiao Xi's body. As long as he raised his hand, he could clasp that slender waist, making it impossible for people to retreat, but to be trapped in his arms.

    Probably because he painted a whole painting in the cafe today, Qiao Xi felt very tired and fell asleep as soon as he got home.

    As a result, he fell into a drowsy sleep when he heard a knock on the door.

    Qiao Xi yawned big without the burden of being an idol: "That's right, is Uncle Shen okay?"

    Realizing that it was Shen Xiucheng, Qiao Xi stood up quickly and rubbed his sleepy eyes with his hands.

    "Don't rub it," Shen Xiucheng pressed his hand, "it's easy to cause damage to the cornea."

    Seeing Qiao Xi destroy flowers with such ruthless hands, Shen Xiucheng felt like his treasure was being ruined.

    Such beautiful eyes should be well protected.

    "Oh." Qiao Xi obeyed Shen Xiucheng's strength and put down his hand obediently.

    Shen Xiucheng's hands were very hot, and he wrapped his wrists and hands easily.Only the floor lamp was turned on in the corridor, it was very dark behind Shen Xiucheng, and the tall figure completely enveloped him.

    Inexplicably, he had the illusion that the person in front of him wanted to hug him.

    He shook his hands lazily: "Well, Uncle Shen, you can let me go now, I won't rub it anymore."

    Shen Xiucheng responded in a low voice, and after a brief pause, he let go of Qiao Xi's hand.

    Putting his hand in his pocket, he couldn't help rubbing his fingertips lightly, reminiscing about the feeling just now.

    Delicate, smooth, and small, just like the owner of this hand, this is a small one that can be easily held in the arms and caressed wantonly.

    The heartbeat accelerated slightly, and the temperature of the blood also rose.

    Shen Xiucheng exhaled slowly, suppressed his gradually losing rhythm, and said calmly, "Did you go to Ke Tang's place?"

    Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking that his part-time job had been exposed, and he was still a little confused to log in at 5G speed in an instant.

    "No, no, no, I mean, I'm going."

    Qiao Xi wanted to deny it, but thought that Shen Xiucheng must have seen or heard something when he asked this question, so he temporarily changed his words.

    "I went there to collect the scenery. Last time I went there, I thought the street scenery was very beautiful." Qiao Xi said half-truthfully.

    In this way, together with the painting tools he put in the store, he could also provide cover for him to go to Ke Tang's place in the future.

    Shen Xiucheng's thoughts were mixed, and he didn't hear anything wrong, so he nodded and said: "Well, go to his shop and charge it to my account."

    "No, no need," Qiao Xi quickly refused, even if it wasn't his part-time job, he would be ashamed to put it on someone else's account, "I'm rich!!"

    Shen Xiucheng glanced at him with a smile: "Just your little money, drink with him for a few days and it will be gone."

    Qiao Xi froze, yes, at Ke Tang's ridiculous price, it doesn't make sense for him to go there every day.

    "Still, don't need it," Qiao Xi hesitated, "I won't go in the future."

    If he agreed and didn't keep the account, Shen Xiucheng would be surprised. If he did, wouldn't that be helping Ke Tang to pit Shen Xiucheng?

    Qiao Xi thinks he can't do such a crazy thing now.

    As for Ke Tang, he just moved the drawing board to the operation room. Although the lighting is not very good, at least he can take care of work and painting.

    "It's settled like this. Otherwise, if you don't have any money, you still want it from me. It doesn't matter. Go back to sleep." Stretching out his hand and rubbing Qiao Xi's head, Shen Xiucheng turned and left.

    Qiao Xi held his head that had been crumpled into a chicken coop, and stood there in a daze.

    Before him was the smile on Shen Xiucheng's face before he left, and he didn't know if it was the gentleness of the night or the warm lighting.

    That smile, full of tenderness and doting, is so pretty that it makes people blush and heartbeat.

    Closing the door slowly, Qiao Xi patted his face: "Damn it, you are indeed the big villain who makes the author prefer to be scolded than to go offline. He is so handsome that he is inhuman!"

    Lying on the bed, Qiao Xi was still replaying that scene in his mind.

    "Ahhh!" Qiao Xi howled and sat up, throwing off the quilt, "Damn, I must draw such a handsome smile."

    Putting new drawing paper on the drawing board and fixing it with tape, Qiao Xi quickly picked up the pen and began to outline the portrait in his mind.

    Shen Xiucheng went back to the room and filled the bathtub with water.

    Because of working overtime and sitting for a long time, his bathroom is equipped with a large jacuzzi, so it is not a problem for two grown men to take a bath together.

    Shen Xiucheng's undressing action froze, why did he think about the problem that the bathtub is big enough for two people to take a bath.

    In the bathroom, as the water level in the bathtub rose, mist filled the air.

    Shen Xiucheng sat in the bathtub, and the over-full water overflowed with a splash, wet the floor.

    Hands buried in the water unconsciously, all the way down, Shen Xiucheng looked up at the ceiling.

    In the irrepressible splendor, for the first time, I began to think about what my ideal type would be.

    nice?good body shape?Or have a good personality?

    Shen Xiucheng has been single for too long, and his friends who have been around him for a long time think he is single.

    It was so long that he himself began to believe it, because his life was really pure and ascetic.Until his body reacted restlessly because of Qiao Xi again and again.

    Want to kiss, touch, even...

    This desire came so fast and suddenly that he lost control, wanting to leave his mark on that fair skin.

    Qiao Xi's face appeared again in front of his eyes.

    Not only the face, but also the clean eyes like a deer, the red lips with tooth marks, the slender neck, and the straight legs.

    Almost everything seems to grow according to his aesthetic points.

    No, or in other words, he was thinking something he shouldn't have, and that's why he felt that this person was sticking to his preferences everywhere.

    The water in the bathtub sloshed back and forth, overflowing from time to time due to the intense action.

    When Qiao Xi was lying on his bed naked, Shen Xiucheng always recalled that slender figure in his dreams.

    "Hmm... Qiao Xi..." Shui Bo calmed down amidst the rapid panting.

    Reach out and press the massage function of the bathtub, the turbulent water waves are like waves, with little white foam.

    Taking a deep breath, Shen Xiucheng raised his hands expressionlessly, and stood up supporting his body.

    Water droplets flowed down the tight muscle lines, drop by drop, and fell to the ground.

    When he turned on the shower and took a shower again, Shen Xiucheng's face was still relaxed after being relieved, but he was unspeakably annoyed.

    After all, thinking that I have always regarded myself as a junior, a child ten years younger than myself, not only did I not feel ashamed, but I still wanted to do it again.

    Anyone would think that this person seems to have that serious illness...

    the next day.

    When Qiao Xi got up, it was rare that he didn't meet Shen Xiucheng.

    Recently, he has been used to being stared at while eating breakfast and forcing things he doesn't like into his mouth.

    As a result, didn't see anyone today.

    Qiao Xi was ecstatic in his heart, finally he didn't need to eat carrots, coriander, egg yolks, vegetable leaves....

    However, he still maintained his composure, fearing that Mrs. Yang would bring a complaint against Shen Xiucheng.

    "Hey, sister-in-law Yang, did Uncle Shen go to work?"

    Qiao Xi picked up the egg and ate the white with two clicks, leaving a small egg yolk gurgling on the plate.

    "Picky eaters when no one is watching!" Mrs. Yang patted Qiao Xi's hand, "Maybe it's because of too much work pressure recently. Mr. Shen smoked in the room last night, but he was disgusted by himself and went to stay in a hotel outside.Left me a message asking me to get someone to clean his room."

    Qiao Xi was dumbfounded when he heard that, so why did the cleanliness addict smoke? Isn't this just to make a crime for himself?

    After breakfast, Qiao Xi set off for the cafe.

    Now he has put a drawing set in the cafe, and he has an excuse to take a scene. It's okay for him to go to the store earlier.

    It just so happened that there was a part of his painting yesterday that needed to be revised, and he had been thinking about it all night.

    When he arrived at "Tangtang", Ke Tang hadn't arrived yet, and the door was locked.Qiao Xi opened the door with the key, and the shutter door "crashed" upwards.

    The morning sun instantly swept into the old cafe, and small dust floated in the soft sunlight.

    Turn on the phonograph, put on the record, and the music flows slowly.

    Qiao Xi took out the cleaning tools and started cleaning.

    Although Ke Tang tricked him a bit, have to say that this job is really leisurely.

    The boss's words are very true. There are really no customers in the store, not a single one.

    Occasionally, can meet a few white-collar little elder sisters who are ignorant of the world and enter this Golden Swallowing Beast Cafe by mistake.

    But after seeing the price, they all smiled, put down the menu, and said they still wanted to eat, and drinking coffee on an empty stomach hurts their stomachs.

    "Ding ding dong dong" The door was pushed open, and the hanging wind chimes made a crisp and pleasant collision sound.

    "Welcome!" Qiaoxi straightened up to welcome the guests.

    I was stunned when saw the person coming. Why does this person look familiar? Where have you seen him?

    The person who came was tall and long-legged, wearing a crisp suit, and looked like a professional elite.

    It's just that there is a bag of buns hanging on the wrist, which looks a bit abrupt.

    "Hey, Tangzi, you opened the door very early today." Zhao Yiming entered the store, saw the people in the store, and almost turned into a pea shooter, spitting out the steamed buns in his mouth, "Damn it!!"

    Qiao Xi blinked, seeing the other party's distorted face, inexplicably felt more familiar, what's the matter?

    "Qiao Xi, why are you here!" Zhao Yiming swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, and choked on the steamed stuffed bun that he ate so quickly that he could only turn over Byakugan.

    He hastily took a coffee cup from the cup holder, took the filtered water, and wanted to have a drink.

    "I'm here to draw." Qiao Xi said the same excuse to Shen Xiucheng, before he could stop him, he saw someone gulp down the water.

    Qiao Xi couldn't bear it and said, "The cup you are holding is used by brother Tang to flick cigarette ash..."

    After thinking about it, Qiao Xi decided to tell the poor man the truth. After all, the visitor is a visitor and should be respected: "Brother Tang will also throw snot paper and chewing gum in it."

    Zhao Yiming: "..." Listen to me, thank you!

    "yue!!!"

    The author has something to say:

    Zhao Yiming: I'm just passing by, why do I have to bear so much??
