"Qī qī, wait for dad to pick you up tonight, don't take the bus back by yourself, okay?"
Father Jiang's thousand reminders and ten thousand instructions.
He really couldn't bear to part with her, his own daughter was only sixteen years old. What can a sixteen-year-old child do? Reading comics, chasing stars, living a comfortable life being pampered by their parents.
But what about He Jiang's patriotic daughter?
In the middle of the night, he went to the bathroom and saw that the light in his daughter's room was still on. Jiang Aiguo knew that his daughter was afraid of falling behind in her studies, so she was working hard to catch up. That was understandable, but what wasn't was that she didn't even get a break on weekends. Every day, she had to dress up like an adult and stand at the entrance of this coffee shop for hours, forcing a smile until her cheeks were stiff. When she came home, she still had to let her mother massage her.
Jiang's father thought of the heart-wrenching scene he had witnessed beside him last weekend and couldn't help but mutter to himself. Jiang Xi hated it when he got like this, so she hastily waved her hand:
"Dad, don't worry, if you're not coming, I won't leave. Go back obediently and stop waiting outside foolishly, okay?"
"Blindly poor."
"Hey, if you're getting tired of this method, we can switch to another one. There's always a way, right?"
"Alright, alright, Dad, you'd better not stay here any longer, or it'll delay things."
Finally managed to persuade the person to leave, Lili half pushed the door and poked her head out, looking at the motorcycle that was running away in the distance with a "putt putt putt" sound: "Xiao Xi, is this your dad? So handsome."
Jiang Xi curled up the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it's always been a nag."
She spoke with disdain in her mouth, but the triumphant look on her face couldn't be hidden.
"Lili rolled her eyes: "Cut it out, stop showing off in front of me, got it?""
Lili is not from Shanghai, she came to work here from Sichuan Province. She speaks with a straightforward and refreshing tone like a typical Sichuan girl: "You can't say, your whole family's looks are really high, no wonder they could give birth to someone as cute as you."
Jiang Xi mao yao dodged Lili's "Lushan Claw", smiled and stood up straight: "Alright, sister Lili I'll go change my clothes first."
Put on a bear-print dress, wear cute bear ears, Jiang Xi tidied up her hair tie to ensure it wouldn't fall off easily, winked at the mirror in front of the dressing room, thought today's makeup was perfect, and then came out of the dressing room.
The coffee shop hadn't officially opened yet, but the kitchen was already bustling with chefs wearing white aprons and hats, moving in an orderly manner. The aroma of milk and honey gradually spread throughout the entire coffee shop, as if it had been awakened.
The shop assistants were busy arranging flowers and tidying up tables and chairs, everything was bustling with order.
Jiang Xi took a deep breath and decided to go to the front hall to help out.
Lili and Tongtong were hiding lazily, their heads gathered in front of the ordering table, looking at something with constant amazement.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Xi tidied up the artificial flowers on the table.
"Hey Tongtong, come quick and take a look," she beckoned her over with a wave of her hand. "You're local, see if this is the school uniform for Municipal No. 1 Middle School?"
Jiang Xi walked over and took a look.
Lili was watching a video on her Huawei phone, and it was clear that the person who took it was an amateur. The camera was shaking all the time, the picture quality was very poor, people's faces were mosaic, and the sound was a bit off-key. But Jiang Xi still recognized it at a glance, it was a video taken when she had a conflict with Liu Yun a few days ago.
A familiar voice in the video sounded: "Then call the police."
Lili suddenly slapped the table, with such force that the nearby cash register shook: "This girl is so sly!" Tongtong stared at her with wide eyes: "How about it? Is she from your school, Municipal No. 1?"
Jiang Xi's expression didn't change, and with a smile, she denied it: "No, although it looks similar, the sleeve of Shenzhen No. 1 Middle School has an embroidered school name here." She compared her short sleeves, telling lies as smoothly as drinking water, with sincerity in her big eyes.
"Where did this video come from?"
Lili slid up, and Jiang Xi looked at the title above with some speechlessness: 【818 My "Fish Lips" Classmate Who Was Framed But Ended Up Getting Slapped in the Face Instead.】
The author of the post is quite talented, with a writing style that combines the elegance of Wen Yin and the flair of Tian Ya. At first glance, it's clear that this is a seasoned veteran of the Tian Ya community, someone who has spent years honing their craft. The way they describe the conflict is vivid and engaging, with a narrative that twists and turns like a rollercoaster ride. And to top it all off, they've included what appears to be a highly credible video, which they've uploaded to the Tian Ya forum. As a result, the post has generated a huge amount of attention, with likes and comments pouring in by the minute.
Jiang Xi was shocked and frightened, afraid that she would be exposed and her coffee shop would be ruined if the truth about her past came to light.
The video has been released, Liu Yun is retreating in defeat, Jiang Xi's glasses have fallen to the ground, and Lili is staring with wide eyes: "This little girl is hopeless, you see, from head to toe, not even a tone of voice has changed, just looking at that bad girl messing around, it's all because... what was it that Zhou said?"
"In the midst of conversation and laughter, the sails and oars turn into flying smoke and disappear."
"Right, right, this one!" Lili held her phone and pressed it for a moment. "I'll go give it a like and comment on two sentences."
Jiang Xi silently looked at the comments below, all of which were "hehehe" and "hahaha", as well as various "insiders" confusing the issue, claiming that this school uniform was just like the one from their own hometown's school, and suddenly it seemed like classmates of "her" appeared from all directions.
There are also some who asked the owner of the house, and the owner directly refused: [To protect the school's reputation, I won't say it even if I die!]
Someone below already suspected: "Disperse, it's obvious that the landlord has found a group of amateur actors to perform this. You're all being fooled, disperse, disperse."
"Lili, this looks fake, maybe the owner of this building found someone to act it out. Look here, look here," Jiangxi pointed out several "unnatural" places, Lili was skeptical, but Tongtong suddenly believed it.
After all, Jiang Xi's innocent and pure smile was really too convincing.
"That's also true, students can't even finish reading their books, how could they have done such an immoral thing?"
Cheng Jing came in, listened for a moment, and asked vaguely, "What's going on?"
"Boss is here!" Jiang Xi interrupted directly.
The little girl with fair skin and big eyes, basking in the milky aroma of the coffee shop's morning, smiled brightly at people. Cheng Cheng felt that no man in the world could resist this cute creature, his rough demeanor suddenly softened, and he called out: "Hey, hey, little Xi, you're really spirited today!"
The boss of the big orange store usually steps on it a bit, and when he arrives, the coffee shop hangs up a formal business sign and opens the door.
The streets gradually became lively, and soon people came in to order some light breakfast, paired with a fragrant Blue Mountain coffee, slowly savoring the flavor.
Most of them are regular customers. Lili could tell, "Xiao Xi, in my opinion, more than half of them came just to take a look at you."
The times have changed, although most people in Shanghai still maintain a slow and gentle pace, young people are not. They are bold and passionate, eager to make progress, and pursue beauty, worshiping beauty. If there is such a beautiful woman in the coffee shop, even if you just look at her for two eyes, eating bread and drinking coffee is also very comfortable.
Jiang Xi's face suddenly turned red, and a layer of powder showed through her white skin: "Lili jie! What nonsense are you talking about?"
After getting familiar with people, Jiang Xi was no longer as reserved as before. Although he still maintained his soft and cute persona, occasionally he would crack a few jokes to quickly blend in with the big group.
The recent good feeling value has accumulated to over 400, but compared to the imminent mid-term exam, it's still a bit slow.
The wind chime at the door rang again, and Jiang Xi habitually pulled up a smile: "Welcome."
Coming in was a chubby boy - or rather, man. He didn't even glance at Jiang Xi, his mind solely focused on rushing to the counter. Jiang Xi had never seen anyone who walked like they were sleepwalking before, and couldn't help but take a few more curious glances.
Lu Yuan stood face-to-face with her and smiled: "Actually last time, we met on the food channel, all thanks to this person."
This little fatty?
Jiang Xi looked at the little fatty and pulled his collar, as if his neck was too tight to be comfortable. He said something to the counter, and before long, the "hidden" big orange store manager came out of the kitchen with a smile on his face.
Jiang Xi had never seen a store manager so fawning - probably just like seeing a walking, talking RMB note.
Lu Yuan rubbed his temples: "Uncle is really... a money-grabber."
"What's going on?" Jiang Xi couldn't help but ask, it seemed that the 30 million from last time was indeed fake.
"You'll know in a minute."
As expected, I knew it in no time.
The store owner seemed to have used all his skills, not only breaking the rule of not going down to the kitchen on the first and fifteenth days of the month, but also personally making oil bubble crispy snails, chocolate danish pastry, and blini small western-style pastries that are rarely seen in everyday life. He even brewed coffee, which was said to be Indonesian civet cat coffee that cost $200 per cup.
The little fatty didn't start eating directly.
He took a triangular bracket from the bag beside him and placed it on the table, put his mobile phone on the bracket, adjusted left and right for a long time before adjusting the angle, and then chattered away while eating and talking in front of the phone.
Jiang Xi blinked: What kind of messy operation is this?
As a high school student who is always studying and only plays Plants vs. Zombies in his free time, Xiao Pang's behavior...is highly suspicious.
It's like a mentally ill person talking to thin air, making people feel very weird.
Jiang Xi didn't know that he had also become a "weirdo" in other people's eyes - at least Tongtong, who closely followed the fashion trends, thought so.
She held a plate and slowly swayed over the river, giving her a disdainful look. "Little Creek, you're from the mountain top cave, right? You don't even know this?"
Jiang Xi blinked again, her expression extremely innocent, extremely... silly and cute.
Lu Yuan's inexperienced young heart melted quickly, he rubbed his nose and coughed: "This is it, it's just that now the internet is very popular with eating broadcasts."
"Mukbang?"
"Do you know about live streaming?"
Jiang Xi shook her head, she really didn't know.
She's not a social person, she's just a simple high school student. Jiang Xi thought shamelessly. She absolutely didn't want to admit that she was a country bumpkin, her cheeks puffed up like a bun.
Lu Yuan looked around and found that his uncle was not there. He beckoned to Jiang Xi, deciding to take her to sneak a peek.
Then, Jiang Xi saw another world.
A vast battlefield composed of data and ports - another battleground.
