    Qiao Xi walked out of the bathroom, and was stunned when he saw someone coming: "Yu Ming?"

    Yu Ming was wearing sportswear today, and his long legs under casual shorts stretched out in the aisle with no place to rest.

    Seeing someone, Yu Ming's eyes lit up, and he smiled with eight big white teeth: "Hey, Senior Qiao Xi!"

    Qiao Xi was slightly embarrassed: "You can just call me Qiao Xi, you don't need to call me Senior, we are not from the same school."

    Just such a sentence, the fear of being ruled by Sheniu returned again, and Qiao Xi realized that today's painting is probably going to fail.

    Before, there was Shen Xiucheng who was weird, and later, there was a social cow who came to visit.

    Just ask, how can you still be a boss who works hard silently and surprises everyone?

    "Come and sit." Yu Ming waved his hand, Qiao Xi glanced at his boss, the distress signal was almost full.

    Ke Tang coughed twice: "That servant, he ordered two cups of coffee, you go and make him first."

    Ke Tang gave a sympathetic look: I can only help you so far, mouse tail juice, my friend!

    Two cups of coffee??

    Qiao Xi turned around in shock, looking at the newly promoted spendthrift and foolish, two of such stupid coffees at once?

    Yu Ming propped his face with his hands, smiled and nodded towards Qiao Xi: "I really like coffee!"

    "Okay, okay, then wait a moment." Qiao Xi walked into the operating room and put on an apron.

    Of course it wasn't from Ke Tang's store, it was an apron he bought at his own expense, a very simple style.

    Xu felt bored, Yu Ming didn't sit on the seat and waited, but followed Qiao Xi instead.

    Considering that customers are generally not allowed to enter the operating room, Yu Ming sat by the bar.

    This position can not only watch Qiao Xi make coffee, but also talk to Qiaoxi, which is very suitable for him.

    "Senior, add more milk and less concentrate!"

    Hearing this, Qiao Xi raised his head and raised the coffee cup in his hand: "If the concentration is too little, you may not be able to draw flowers!"

    Having said that, Yu Ming quickly waved his hands: "Forget it, let's do it normally, I want a pattern!"

    Qiao Xi skillfully preheated the coffee machine, ground the beans, and frothed the milk.

    When he was about to start making patterns, Yu Ming suddenly said: "Senior Qiao Xi, I want a heart pattern."

    Qiao Xi glanced at him, the young man was quite demanding.

    Gently shaking the jug, the milky white milk was flowing slowly, Qiao Xi pulled a heart according to his request.

    The pattern is very full and symmetrical, which is also the pattern Qiao Xi is most familiar with. This is just his hobby, and he will not know anything more complicated.

    Carefully place the coffee on the bar, complete with coffee tray and spoon.

    Qiao Xi: "Do you sit here and drink? Or do you want to go back to your seat?"

    "Wow, what a beautiful heart!" Yu Ming exclaimed, and immediately took out his phone to take a picture, "Wait a minute, I'll take a picture!"

    Qiao Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this pattern very common?"

    In his impression, it seems that as long as the shop that makes espresso coffee will make this pattern, it is also the simplest pattern in latte art.

    Yu Ming snapped several shots continuously, because he didn't turn off the sound, it stood out in this quiet cafe.

    Looking at the photos on the phone, Yu Ming happily put the phone away, and then answered Qiao Xi's question: "It's different, this is the heart you gave me, senior."

    When Yu Ming said this, the smile on his face was pure and bright, but Qiao Xi listened awkwardly.

    "Senior, do you want to guard the bar or can you walk around?" Yu Ming picked up the coffee and pecked carefully.

    Because the coffee had just been made and was still a little hot, he probably moistened his lower lip with this sip.

    Then Qiao Xi saw him raise his head and gave a thumbs up: "Wow, senior, your cooking is super delicious!"

    Qiao Xi: "..."

    "I can walk around at will." Qiao Xi cleaned the coffee machine neatly and wiped the bar clean, "Didn't you tell me, don't call me senior."

    Yu Ming stirred the coffee with a spoon, the condensed milk and the milk gradually merged, turning into a light coffee color.

    "That's not necessarily true." Seeing the temperature drop, Yu Ming picked it up and took a sip, "My wish is University A, and I think I did well in the college entrance examination. I will definitely be your junior!"

    Qiao Xi was surprised, but he didn't expect this Sheniu to be a top student.

    "Hey, hello, what kind of look is this?" Yu Ming knocked on the table, expressing his dissatisfaction with Qiao Xi's surprise, "I have good grades, and I have surpassed the admission line of A University in previous years in several preliminaries."

    Qiao Xi nodded and praised: "Yu Ming, you are amazing!"

    Yu Ming: "No, no, you are better than the senior, you can draw and make coffee, and your grades are so good!"

    Hearing that Qiao Xi was a little embarrassed, the relationship between his admission to University A and his academic performance was really not that great.

    "Senior, what are you going to do for lunch later?" Yu Ming drank coffee very quickly, and he finished a cup in just a few words.

    "I'm eating takeaway in the store, can I make you another cup?" Qiao Xi remembered Ke Tang saying that he ordered two cups.

    Yu Ming shook his head, rubbed his stomach and said with a smile, "I've drank a full stomach of coffee, let's save the remaining cup for the afternoon."

    The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched, and he will drink it in the afternoon. Is the feeling person planning to stay in this shop for a day?

    Although don't like being forced to socialize, as an employee, there is no such thing as chasing customers.

    Not wanting to drink coffee, Qiao Xi fetched a cup of warm water for Yu Ming.

    "Senior, don't you draw today?" Yu Ming took the water and thanked him, "I see that there is a drawing board in the shop, is it yours, senior?"

    The position of the drawing board is in the corner, which is inconspicuous at first glance, and you may even think it is a decoration.

    Qiao Xi thought to himself, I want to paint, so you have to stop talking to me.

    Considering the mood of the guests, Qiao Xi said euphemistically: "When there are guests, I have to take care of them first."

    Yu Ming's eyes widened, his face full of surprise: "Is the customer treated so well? Then can you draw a picture for me?"

    Qiao Xi: "..."

    This person's brain circuit must be different from normal people.

    But this is quite in line with Qiao Xi's idea, at least when he is painting, he doesn't have to talk to this person all the time.

    Thinking of this, Qiao Xi immediately cast her expectant eyes on her boss.

    "Brother Tang!"

    Ke Tang heard that a salty fish turned around, and pretended to take off the earphones: "What's the matter?"

    Qiao Xi: "Can I draw? Yu Ming, even this guest wants to see me draw."

    Ke Tang looked at Qiao Xi who looked expectant, and Yu Ming who was next to him who was also expecting, as if he saw a bichon and a Erha.

    Seeing that he didn't speak, Yu Ming quickly said, "I really want to see my senior draw."

    Ke Tang pondered slightly: "This is the service of our shop, and you can only enjoy it if you spend more than 10,000 yuan."

    Ke Tang's heart was filled with pain when he said this to this once-in-four-thousand-year customer.

    He knew that he would lose this generous guest.

    But if he doesn't show something and let Brother Shen know, he will raise the rent again.

    The corner of Qiao Xi's mouth twitched, the boss lost his eyes, how could he grab a sheep so hard, the sheep was almost bald.

    Yu Ming was stunned, took out his mobile phone, and asked, "Can I get a card in the store? Drinking ten cups of coffee a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night."

    Qiao Xi turned around in shock, what kind of resentment?

    Ke Tang squinted at him: "Our store only has a monthly card, and it costs 50,000 yuan." Small sample, it can't cure you.

    Yu Ming smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it for a month first."

    Ke Tang: "..."

    My brother Shen, it's not that I don't help you, it's that the enemy has given too much!

    "Wait a minute, I'll find Ka for you!" He jumped up suddenly, at such a speed that he was afraid that the little fat sheep would run away.

    Qiao Xi: "..." Why doesn't he know that there are things like membership cards in the store?

    "You're spending too much money..." Qiao Xi looked at the big grievance with incomprehensible words, and it turned out that his brain circuit was different from ordinary people.

    Yu Ming waved his hands and smiled generously: "It's okay, I have saved a lot of lucky money, and I have nowhere to spend it. Besides, this store is close to my home, so I can still come here to read books."

    Thinking of the money in his card, Qiao Xi almost cried.

    They are all people from the global village, why is there such a big gap in levels!

    Ke Tang came back soon, holding a wood-grained card in his hand, which seemed to match the style of the store.

    This kind of resentment store actually has members?

    Qiao Xi couldn't believe it, maybe the card was issued, but it was never issued.

    For the first time, embarrassment appeared on Yu Ming's face, who had always been cheerful.

    Seeing this, Qiao Xi couldn't bear it. After all, he was still a kid who just finished the college entrance examination, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Actually, it's okay if you don't do it. It's really expensive."

    Yu Ming looked at him, then at the card he was holding, and looked like Ke Tang, you really are bragging, you can't afford it.

    He coughed lightly twice, pointed to the card in Ke Tang's hand and said, "Well... If I remember correctly, this should be the point card of A6 Bubble Video Game City."

    Qiao Xi:?

    Qiao Xi looked at Ke Tang in shock,

    Ke Tang scratched his head, with an unrepentant smile on his face: "That's right, there will be no membership card in our store for a while, so you can use this first, and when you renew the card next time, the new card shouldalmost there."

    Qiao Xi: This boss really doesn't want to face for money!

    It was also the first time for Yu Ming to see this kind of membership system, and it was quite an eye-opener.

    "Well, you can actually remember the phone number directly," Yu Ming reminded the boss, "it's quite convenient."

    Ke Tang waved his hands again and again: "That can't be done, you are the second member in our store, you must have a table, you know the sense of ceremony?"

    Yu Ming: "...wouldn't that be a waste of your points card?"

    Immediately there was a large amount of money coming in, Ke Tang smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, he was extra generous: "I still have 5,000 points in my account, which can be exchanged for a 1.2 meter big bear, and it will be a gift for registered members."

    Qiao Xi almost spit out a mouthful of salt soda, this membership gift has to be picked up by himself, dare to cheat a little more.

    "How to pay?" Seeing that Yu Ming couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to accept the "membership card".

    Ke Tang took out his mobile phone, opened the payment code, and said with a smile, "Scan me!"

    Yu Ming scanned it with his phone and entered the number, but the payment failed.

    Yu Ming held up his mobile phone and showed it to Ke Tang: "The other party has been reported many times in the near future, so they cannot transfer money to strangers for the time being."

    "Damn it!" Ke Tang took his phone and looked at it several times, scolding: "That grandson of Zhao Yiming, you fucking reported me again, mental disorder!"

    "Wait a minute, I use mobile banking." Ke Tang couldn't remember his bank account number, so he had to open mobile banking to check every time.

    As a result, when entered the password, it showed that there were too many input errors today, and the account was temporarily frozen.

    Ke Tang: "...I want to kill Zhao Yiming!"

    Qiao Xi could not bear it: "Brother Tang, did you do something jealous to Brother Ming?"

    Ke Tang: "I just laughed at the fact that he went to the K city branch all night, as for?"

    Qiao Xi: "..."

    Yu Ming: "..."

    One night, um, why not...

    Yu Ming didn't know who they were talking about, but he had to say that this was really cruel to a money fan.

    "Forget it, you can add me as a friend." Ke Tang opened Alipay again.

    Under the witness of Qiao Xi, the two became friends with each other and completed a dirty money transaction worth up to 50,000 yuan.

    After receiving the money, Ke Tang lay back on the reclining chair: "You guys chat, feel free, as long as I'm not here."

    He plugged in the earphones again, happily opened his small safe, and prepared to read the warm little money again.

    Yu Ming stuffed the point card, oh, no, it was the membership card, into his pocket, and said with a smile, "Senior, let's draw!"

    The development of the matter was still in line with expectations, Qiao Xi moved out the painting tools.

    Yu Ming also went to help, and when he saw Qiao Xi's painting hanging in the utility room, he was shocked: "Wow, senior, your painting is so beautiful!"

    Hanging in the utility room are all Qiao Xi’s works in the coffee shop these days, street scenes from different time periods, and passers-by.

    Not only oil paintings, but also sketches occasionally.

    In addition to his classmates, he usually comes into contact with teachers.The relationship between the classmates is average, but the teacher is afraid of the pride of the students, and mostly praises implicitly.

    To be praised so bluntly and fiercely, felt a little embarrassed immediately.

    The two worked together to push things out, and quickly placed them by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    Qiao Xi put on her apron and started toning.

    Yu Ming: "Senior, what are you going to draw?"

    Qiao Xi tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well, I haven't figured it out yet, maybe it's a street scene?"

    Yu Ming let out an ooh, then changed his voice: "Senior, I heard that you are from City C?"

    Qiao Xi was a little confused, where did he hear about this person?

    He is indeed from City C, but the problem is that he is not a celebrity, the only mutual friend of the two is Yang Yunqing.

    Qiao Xi hesitated, did he tell Yang Yunqing that he was from City C?

    He doesn't have the habit of self-declaring his family background when chatting. Even with Yang Yunqing, whom he has known for a long time, the chats between the two are mostly about school and part-time jobs, and rarely talk about personal and private life.

    "Who did you hear that from?" Qiao Xi asked.

    Yu Ming responded naturally: "Miss Yunqing, she also said that you especially like fish-flavored eggplant?"

    Qiao Xi was stunned, Yuxiang eggplant?

    Although Qiao Xi wasn't sure if he had told Yang Yunqing that he was from City C, he was sure that he hadn't told Yang Yunqing that he liked to eat fish-flavored eggplants.

    Because he didn't even know about it, and he never ordered food when he went out.

    Qiao Xi: "She remembered the wrong person, I don't like fish-flavored eggplant."

    Yu Ming was startled, and subconsciously said: "Don't you like it? Then senior, you are from City C, right?"

    Qiao Xi was a little surprised by his sudden urgent question, but the people from City C had nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted.

    "What's wrong?"

    Yu Ming came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to travel to City C, and I've always wanted to meet a local friend, and I can find something delicious."

    City C is a large tourism province, and the tax revenue from the tourism industry accounts for nearly half of the city's fiscal revenue.

    This has also led to some confusion in the tourism industry, with many random charges and forced shopping chaos.

    So when Yu Ming said this, Qiao Xi understood.

    I don't know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to see Yu Ming heaving a sigh of relief.

    The author has something to say:

    Ke Tang pretended to wear earphones: I'm not betraying my sister-in-law, I just want to steal information more conveniently, and collect a little reward by the way, um, that's it.

    Shen Xiucheng: Did I give you too much freedom?You are screwed!
