    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    Pei Jinwang made a huge mistake.

    He had been biting his fingernails in the break room for half an hour.

    Yuan Bozhu's chat box was displayed on the phone screen, but he has not sent a message for a long time.

    Finally, he put the phone back in his pocket, walked out, and took a look at the bustling business in the store, a sense of melancholy and sadness swept over——

    He thought he was about to lose the store.

    This matter has to start from the second day of the holiday.

    Recently, the business at the end of the sky has been getting better and better, so good that Pei Jinwang started to get scared.

    Every day, he is vigilant about the purpose of customers coming to drink coffee, for fear that his good coffee shop will end up becoming the foil of Internet celebrity Qin Rui.

    But this is his overthinking.

    The shop is busy recently, purely because the weather is so good,

    I don't know if it's a coincidence, or the weather in Qian City has really changed after the ceremony. Recently, the sun has been shining brightly almost every day.It is obviously the time when winter should be cold, but there are signs of warming up instead.

    Different from the cold winter months in previous years when everyone was reluctant to go out, this year's holiday, young people are more willing to go out and wander around.

    But many places are closed for Chinese New Year, so Tian's End has become the best choice for many young people to drink afternoon tea.

    Customers who have been here a few times are used to the coffee here, like the environment and atmosphere here, and don't bother to look for other shops over time.Once new and old customers are superimposed, it has recently made it difficult for everyone to touch the ground.

    Today is not only Sunday, but also the second day of the year-end holiday.

    Lin Shuangxuan came to work part-time normally.

    But today he seems a little restless, not as lively as usual, whenever he has free time, he hangs his head and counts with his fingers, and when someone talks to him, he will be dazed from time to time and forget to answer.

    This has never happened before.

    Although Lin Shuangxuan has not been learning how to make coffee for a long time, he is careful and steadfast in his work, and he seems to be very talented in this area. Many techniques are like replicas of Yuan Bozhu, and he is not unfamiliar.

    Therefore, Pei Jinwang has always been confident and bold to let him guard the console alone.

    But this morning, at the busiest time in the store, Lin Shuangxuan actually made two wrong cups of coffee in a row, and one of them was scalded by the milk foam while making latte art.

    Luckily there are now two baristas in the store at all times.

    Pei Jinwang hurriedly asked Lin Shuangyou to rest, then quietly approached Qin Rui and asked him, "What's wrong with Xiao Lin? He wasn't so careless in his work before."

    Qin Rui didn't even think about it, and answered confidently: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, so he is nervous! You don't even know that he and Brother Yuan both wrote about the Union Academy when investigating the college entrance examination a while ago. Good guy, there are only three people in the whole gradeFilled in Union College, one was the first in the whole school in the last monthly exam, and the other is the two of them."

    Pei Jinwang hissed, and said, "I remember that Alliance College can only rely on recommendation, and it's difficult to take the exam by yourself."

    "So there's a lot of pressure!" Qin Rui nodded fiercely, "You see he has been writing and drawing on paper just now, I guess he is reviewing."

    Pei Jinwang pondered for a moment, thought it made sense, and said: "So I think about it, there is no shortage of people in the store now, why don't you two stop here next week, I have already found people for the winter vacation."

    "I don't." Qin Rui said categorically, "During the winter vacation, I was alone in Qian City. If I didn't find something to do, I would be bored to death. Besides, my grades have always been stable. If I squeezed my brain out, I would just pass the exam.It's the bottom ten. Let Lin Shuangxuan go, he will definitely need time to study."

    Pei Jinwang: "Okay, I'll talk to him."

    Turning around after speaking, I was startled: "...Ah!"

    Lin Shuangxiu didn't know when he stood behind him, staring at him faintly, like a ghost.

    "Xiao Lin, what are you doing!" Pei Jinwang patted his heart, "Brother Hun'er is scared out of me!"

    Lin Shuangxuan said concisely: "I won't go."

    He calculated all morning, not reviewing, but doing calculations.

    At the end of the day, one result was reached: the money was not enough.

    The coffee shop has been doing well recently. As a barista, Lin Shuangxuan has a bonus.

    Counting the part-time job fee every weekend, he can get about 2,000 yuan in a month, which is completely enough for daily living expenses.

    But Lin Shuangxuan made a calculation, and after the New Year's Eve, he had to pay a rent for the house, which would directly empty out his savings.That's not counting the money he'll have to save for travel and tuition to Union College later on.

    If you are not in a hurry, then on the 31st, he has to help Yuan Bozhu move, so he must bring some gifts, right?

    It's Chinese New Year, don't you buy New Year's goods for others?Moved, don't you give people a housewarming gift?

    Lin Shuangxuan divided up his little balance into several shares. Swelling one's face up by slapping it to look imposing, he set aside more than 300 yuan to buy new clothes, and then set aside another 500 yuan coolly., for buying gifts.

    When he was short of money, Pei Jinwang actually planned to let him go.

    Lin Shuanghuan's eyes were full of resentment.

    Pei Jinwang smiled angrily when he stared at him.

    "Do you like going to work so much? Don't worry, come back after you finish your college entrance examination. We always have a place for you in our store."

    "No." Lin Shuangxuan said frankly, "I want money."

    Pei Jinwang was taken aback for a moment, and was happy again.He thought to himself that Lin Shuangxuan was really brainless, more than half of the whole store was owned by Yuan Bozhu, if he wanted money, he had to go through a process to get it from Yuan Bozhu.

    He said casually: "You will be paid the same salary, and you can take paid vacations."

    Lin Shuangxuan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Pei Jinwang's arrangement: "How can we pay wages indiscriminately? How much money each employee should get needs to be put on the account. Others have to deduct money even if they are late and leave early. I have no reason to take paid vacations.".”

    "You are different."

    Pei Jinwang smiled at Qin Rui who was next to him, and then pulled Lin Shuangxuan aside, "You don't need to deduct your salary from the book."

    Lin Shuangxuan shook his head: "No, I only take what I deserve."

    "Ouch..." Pei Jinwang covered his head and laughed, "What's so good about this bull's horn, anyway, your little brother Zhu didn't pay attention to hundreds of thousands of dollars anyway."

    Lin Shuangxuan looked at Pei Jinwang with a complicated expression.

    Pei Jinwang hadn't realized that something was wrong with Lin Shuangxuan at this time, and he still advised Lin Shuangxuan: "Think about it, why did Brother Xiaozhu rack his brains to buy this store in the first place? Isn't he just to let you live?Be more comfortable, so you should also be more calm, what are you fussing about with this little salary, you have seen the daily turnover recently, these are small money."

    "..." Lin Shuangxiu opened his mouth, and after a while he wanted to say something, he finally said, "That's right, I'm a poor person, and I have many things to do."

    After speaking, he turned and left.

    Pei Jinwang was stunned, stopped laughing immediately, and hurried to catch up: "Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin! It's my brother who said something wrong. I really didn't mean it. I think you two are related. If he wants to treat you well, he certainly won't."Mind... this is my brother's mistake, really wrong! I slap my mouth—"

    "Brother Wang." Lin Shuangxuan suddenly took off her little apron, threw it aside, then turned her head and said calmly, "Anyway, there are enough people in the store, so I'll resign."

    "???"

    By the time Pei Jinwang realized that his few words might hurt the boy's self-esteem, it was already too late.

    Lin Shuangxiu changed his clothes in a hurry, and ran out with his bag on his back, ignoring anyone's words, and left in a hurry.

    Pei Jinwang could only look at his back as he disappeared into the corner of the street, regretting his past.

    Why does he have to talk so much?

    Not everyone is like him. Faced with such a thing as a pie in the sky, they can't even turn their brains. The first reaction is to open their mouths to accept it.

    Lin Shuangxuan was different.

    Lin Shuangxuan was young, so he had to rely on his own part-time work and study to earn living expenses. In his eyes, thousands of dollars is not small money, it may be his living expenses for a long time to come.

    Pei Jinwang knew that he should tell Yuan Bozhu the news, but when he thought of Yuan Bozhu's protective behavior towards Lin Shuangxuan all the time, he felt that his future was bleak.

    But even if he didn't send Yuan Bozhu a message, he still couldn't escape the revelation.

    Because at one or two o'clock, Yuan Bozhu appeared.

    He obviously came to look for Lin Shuangxuan.

    Yuan Bozhu didn't see Lin Shuanghuan, so he asked Pei Jinwang, "What about him?"

    Pei Jinwang stared at him, and within three seconds, he showed timidity, and obediently told Yuan Bozhu what happened in the morning.

    "That's how it is... I know, I'm guilty, and I also called Xiao Lin to apologize, but it turned out..." Pei Jinwang felt sad, "His mobile phone was on the console, but he didn't bring it with him."

    Pei Jinwang had never seen Yuan Bozhu lose his temper before, so he was very nervous at the moment, wondering if he would be retaliated by Yuan Bozhu in the future.

    What's more, it's true that Pei Jinwang didn't handle this matter well. If Yuan Bozhu really wanted to get angry, he would admit it.

    "knew."

    Yuan Bozhu looked fine and showed no signs of getting angry.

    He took a look at the store, there were many customers, but the new employees were able to handle it. Except for Qin Rui who ran to the bar to take selfies whenever he was free, it could be seen that the whole cafe was on the right track. During this time, Pei JinwangIt shouldn't take much effort.

    So instead of scolding him, Yuan Bozhu said kindly, "If he resigns, you can rearrange the manpower for the weekend."

    "...Ah?" Pei Jinwang was very nervous, "Don't be in a hurry, Xiao Lin has been running for a long time, and he doesn't know where he went."

    Yuan Bozhu didn't say too much, just said: "I'll look for it."

    Pei Jinwang heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Yuan Bozhu didn't get angry, that's what he admired most about Yuan Bozhu——emotional stability, stable personality, everything can be discussed, not an impulsive person.

    Pei Jinwang grinned, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Yuan Bozhu said coldly and added something.

    "Find time to apologize to him."

    "Ah... yes, that's for sure."

    Pei Jinwang was shocked by his cold and indifferent glance. It was clear that Yuan Bozhu didn't say anything serious, but he felt trembling in his heart, and he joked dryly, "I'll turn aroundDo you think it’s okay to write a 3,000-word review?”

    "Eight hundred is enough." Yuan Bozhu nodded seriously.

    It would be impolite to say it was a joke at this point.Pei Jinwang accepted his fate and said, "Okay."

    Yuan Bozhu didn't go directly to Lin Shuangxuan.

    He felt that Lin Shuangxuan needed some time to deal with his affairs.

    Although Yuan Bozhu is not proficient in human relationships, but after all, he has seen all kinds of situations in the world, so he can understand Lin Shuanghuan's mood to some extent.

    The moment of being sent charcoal in the snow must be touched.

    But it can't be sent for a lifetime.

    Then it becomes sympathy, it becomes charity, and it becomes a kind of pressure that binds hands and feet.

    Lin Shuangxuan was not originally a type who needed to depend on others to survive, he was fully capable of organizing his own life.

    Yuan Bozhu didn't want to underestimate him.

    But if you don't look for it, it doesn't mean you don't know where Lin Shuangxuan is.

    From the day Lin Shuangxuan ran out of the cafe until the night of the 30th, Yuan Bozhu knew his every move.

    He did nothing.

    Although there were many times in the middle, he really wanted to catch Lin Shuangxuan back.

    He didn't ask why Lin Shuangxuan wanted to go to the management bureau, and registered a "foreign aid" registration information in Gan Qiu's picket team even though he obviously didn't like Gan Qiu himself.

    He didn't ask how Lin Shuangxuan dared to go to Spider Realm to do a new round of employee information registration, and even wrote his age as eighteen years old.Although he was caught by Wu Jian during the final trial, Wu Jian, a reckless man, even helped Lin Shuangxuan create a fake identity and entered his information.

    This vacation was not long. In just a few days, Lin Shuangxuan did the first employment task in his life.

    To protect an unnamed arms dealer.

    Starting from Qian City, go to a fortress that is in a state of chaos.until the end of this transaction.

    During this period, the mobile phone needs to be turned in.

    Yuan Bozhu was prepared to see whether Lin Shuangxuan would make up a lie to deal with him, but Lin Shuangxuan said frankly: "A Zhu, I am going to work in other places recently. Wait for me to come back~"

    Yuan Bozhu helplessly laughed.

    Lin Shuangxuan probably knew that no matter what he said, Yuan Bozhu could always expose him.So he doesn't pretend, but he doesn't explain either.

    When Yuan Bozhu got the details of the mission from Wujian, he had the idea of stopping Lin Shuangxuan.

    For rare species, protecting humans from humans does not sound difficult.

    But the question is, who can guarantee that the opponent's people don't have rare species?How many rare species are there?

    Spider Realm's employment mission is non-partisan, as long as it does not harm human politics and society, the Alliance Government and the Authority have given the maximum degree of lenient policy.

    At the same time, it also means that the employees who take over the tasks are responsible for their own lives.

    If something goes wrong, no one will bear the consequences.

    But when Yuan Bozhu wanted to bring Lin Shuangyou back, Wujian suddenly said: "How high a baby bird can fly depends on whether it is standing on the top of a mountain or in your palm when it learns to fly for the first time."

    Yuan Bozhu looked at him.

    "If you don't want him to stay in your pocket for the rest of his life, you have to give him a chance to fly out." Wu Jian said with a smile, "Although it will be a bit embarrassing at the beginning, it is also an interesting process."

    The mission materials were eventually burned by Yuan Bozhu.

    Although Yuan Bozhu has countless ways to set up more umbrellas for Lin Shuangxuan like a cafe in Panxia, and create a life for Lin Shuangxuan that is completely trouble-free and carefree.

    But Lin Shuangxuan was not a pet at all.

    He decided to let Lin Shuangxuan walk out of this small "pocket".

    It is more difficult than Yuan Bozhu thought to restrain himself from paying attention to Lin Shuangxuan.

    Because he knows everything about this world.

    Yuan Bozhu could only artificially cut off his contact with the outside world, only retaining the perception of Lin Shuanghuan's life safety.

    Because he didn't want to disturb Lin Shuangxuan's "learning to fly", the few days of Yuan Bozhu's vacation seemed extremely long.

    Even Hiiragi couldn't stand it anymore, and asked him several times: "Why don't you go out to play during the holiday? Why don't you go find Xiaoling?"

    Yuan Jilang also complained: "I just told you not to do things that crossed the line, not to ignore him. It's the New Year's Eve, and the child has no one else at home, so what kind of words does it make him stay alone?"

    Yuan Bozhu was unable to explain, so he could only go out to avoid the limelight.

    On the night of the 30th, Wujian told Yuan Bozhu that Lin Shuangxuan would be back in the afternoon.

    Yuan Bozhu said he knew.

    He looked at his phone, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, but there were only the work reports from Pei Jinwang, the "Selection of Three Suits That A Man Must Own in His Life" from Yuan Qifeng, and the text from Qin Rui.Links to various news, funny jokes, and urban strange news videos,

    There is no news of Lin Shuangxuan.

    why not.

    Lin Shuangxuan's phone is out of power?Or was it confiscated and not taken back?Or did he forget to send himself a message to report his safety?

    Yuan Bozhu walked to the downstairs of Lin Shuangxuan community, hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go up directly, or make a phone call first...

    Lin Shuangxuan's first task has been done for so long, so he must be very tired.Could he be sleeping?

    The mission level this time is higher than Yuan Bozhu's past missions. Although Lin Shuangxuan's ability is very strong, the possibility of his injury cannot be ruled out.

    Finally, Yuan Bozhu went straight upstairs.

    Lin Shuangxuan was not there.

    Yuan Bozhu frowned deeply.

    He remembered that the last time he came to look for Lin Shuangxuan, but the other party was not there... He waited for a long time that time, but finally did not wait for Lin Shuangxuan.

    Yuan Bozhu had no reason to wait at the door this time.

    He decided to make a move.

    Yuan Bozhu mobilized his primordial spirit, just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard the elevator ding and open the door.

    Immediately afterwards, Lin Shuangxuan said with a laughing voice: "A Zhu!"

    The moment Yuan Bozhu looked at the past, Lin Shuangyou had already rushed in front of him.

    Considering the risk of hair loss from too close physical contact, and tomorrow he will move to Yuan's house and meet Yuan Bozhu's parents, Lin Shuangxuan doesn't want to be bald.So although he was very excited, he just happily pushed Yuan Bozhu's chin with his forehead.

    Yuan Bozhu breathed a sigh of relief.

    He rubbed the back of Lin Shuanghuan's head, and gently wiped a casual kiss on his forehead.Ask him: "Where did you go?"

    This question is not directly asked.

    Whether it was asking where went two days ago, or where was just now, didn't specify.

    Lin Shuangxuan chose to return to the latter: "I'm going to buy new year's goods!"

    He took a half step back, raised the two big shopping bags in his hand, and said, "Don't you want to move tomorrow? This is a housewarming gift. This bag here contains fruits, snacks, some dried fruits and health tea. This bag here isPerfume and cosmetics, last time I heard from my aunt that she likes this brand, but I haven’t bought it. After shopping for a long time, the shopping guide sisters told me a lot.”

    Yuan Bozhu took the things, and when Lin Shuangxiu opened the door, the two walked in together.

    Yuan Bozhu suddenly asked: "Did the mission go well?"

    Lin Shuangxuan stopped smiling when he heard the words, but the next moment he laughed even more happily. He straightened up and gave Yuan Bozhu a thumbs up, saying, "It's a complete success!"

    "Congratulations." Yuan Bozhu also smiled slightly, and while talking, he had already put the things in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "How do you feel?"

    Seeing that Yuan Bozhu didn't blame him for accepting the employment task in private, Lin Shuangxuan got excited and began to tell Yuan Bozhu what he had seen and heard these days, and then said:

    "A Zhu, I inquired about it. Spider Realm is currently short of manpower, especially after the S-level vacancy on the leaderboard, many A-level employees want to re-rank. Once they are on the list, the commission will be much higher. It is a good ideaIt’s a chance to stand up. It’s just about to be on vacation, can I also participate in the rating...?”

    "It's fine for you to make a decision." Yuan Bozhu didn't dislike Lin Shuangxuan taking up the task, as long as he could guarantee his own safety.

    After Yuan Wanjiao took over Spider Realm, it can be considered to be in line with the Administration, and future tasks will not be as bottomless as it was when Satan was in the past.Moreover, Spider Realm's current employee system is transparent, and more and more rare species will join in. It will gradually change from an underground organization to the most suitable channel for rare species to obtain jobs.

    Lin Shuangxuan's participation in the rating is nothing more than laying the foundation for his future in advance.

    only……

    Yuan Bozhu looked at him, with a gentle but serious tone: "Are you still in college?"

    If Lin Shuangxuan got used to the employment life in Spider Realm, he would find that as long as the ability is strong, it is too easy to earn a fortune.

    Then would he still want to live an ordinary life?

    The kind of life that is busy in the cafe from day to night, and only has a salary of one or two hundred yuan, making ends meet.

    "Why do you ask that?" Lin Shuanghuan seemed a little puzzled, and he blinked at Yuan Bozhu.

    "You have adapted well to the life of rare blood."

    The meaning of Yuan Bozhu's words is to imply Lin Shuangxuan: since you can already accept the job in Spider Realm, it seems that the human university is meaningless.

    However, Lin Shuangxuan didn't answer and asked instead: "...do you know why I am so anxious to make money?"

    Yuan Bozhu could guess that it was because Lin Shuangxuan was short of money and refused to enjoy the benefits of his own help.He wants to rely on his own efforts to earn more money and live a good life, and he doesn't want Yuan Bozhu to look down on him.

    But Yuan Bozhu still asked: "Why?"

    Lin Shuangxuan's explanation surprised him a little.

    "If I work part-time in a cafe, I may have to face the problems of not being able to pay the rent, buy new year's goods, and even college tuition. I guess, you must have a way to help me. Maybe find me a new place to live, maybeIt is to order Brother Wang to quietly give me red envelopes. In short, money is not difficult for you."

    "To be honest, I didn't feel embarrassed at first. I am also a person with a brain. In that case, I really need it, and you can really give it. Since accepting it is good for us, why should I refuse?"

    "But how long has it been? After a long, long time, my life has been carefully built by you. I will grow up relying on you. While I am loved by you, I will receive your favor. Will my feelings be mixed with dependence?Do you even have low self-esteem? I’m afraid it’s too confusing, I just want to like you purely, each of you is down-to-earth, and grow into your own appearance.”

    "So, I didn't quit the coffee shop because I had a lot of pride, I just thought the easiest way to solve this problem was to make enough money. So much money that I wouldn't ever have 'did I give it to you' in my life?You're making trouble' thinking."

    "In short, I earn money so that when you treat me well in the future, I can accept it calmly. Because I know that I have the ability and ability, and I can treat you so well. All my efforts now are notIn order to join the life of rare species, I...just to love and be loved more calmly."

    Lin Shuangxiu finished what was in his heart in one breath, finally rubbed his hot cheeks, buried his head in a funny way and said, "This is what I thought on the road...."

    After he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

    Yuan Bozhu never spoke.

    Lin Shuanghuan clutched his toes nervously, thinking, isn't it really too hypocritical?

    If knew it earlier, would say that he just loves money.

    "What did the doctor say last time?" Yuan Bozhu asked suddenly.

    "Ah?" This remark was a bit sudden, and Lin Shuangxiu didn't realize it for a while.After a pause, I recalled, "Does it mean that I try to avoid energy field fluctuations caused by emotional agitation during the immature stage?"

    Yuan Bozhu stretched out his hand to gently grab his chin, lifted his head up, and said, "No."

    Lin Shuangxuan thought about it, and asked tentatively: "Does it mean... If the energy field has changed back to its original shape due to the instability of the energy field, you can consider isolation. It will recover within half an hour at most."

    "En." Yuan Bozhu lowered his eyes slowly, and moved closer to him, breathing warmly, he said softly, "Then listen to the doctor."

    The next moment, the long-lost kiss finally landed on her lips.

    The person in his arms went limp, and Yuan Bozhu tightly bound his waist, preventing Lin Shuangxuan from slipping down.

    Lin Shuangxuan seemed to be too nervous, so his whole body was shaking violently.Although Yuan Bozhu kissed lightly and without force, Lin Shuanghuan had forgotten to breathe, and grabbed his arm with both hands, looking like he was going to be wiped out at any moment.

    They all seemed a little anxious, trying to get as close to each other as possible.

    It's like counting down the clock, racing against the clock to hold on to this moment.

    Yuan Bozhu suddenly understood why such a young man who was just a "child" to him could always shake his mind.

    Lin Shuangxuan always has a cleverness that Yuan Bozhu could not have imagined.He knows one thing very well.

    pure love.

    No skill, no experience.

    Lin Shuangxuan seemed to be born with more holes than Yuan Bozhu.

    His slightly immature talent just made up for Yuan Bozhu's lackluster life.
