"Cafe……"
After riding in the scorching sun for a long time, about a quarter of an hour, Mu Ningshuang noticed that Lu Yuetong had stopped, in front of a cafe across the road. She parked the car aside and walked quickly into the store by herself.
Mu Ningshuang stopped in the shade opposite the cafe, observing his friend while hiding his figure to prevent him from being noticed.
She smiled and said hello to a girl, then chatted with the middle-aged woman who seemed to be the owner of the cafe behind the counter, and then went into the back room.
"She's working?"
Seeing this scene, it is not strange to have such thoughts.
Mu Ningshuang had more doubts in her heart. She was taciturn, but she was a smart girl. In the past, Lu Yuetong had never talked to her about part-time work. After a little analysis, she would know that part-time work should have only started recently. Before, she could not tell herself that she had such confidence.
After contacting the previous situation where a friend wanted to talk but stopped, and related it to her part-time job, a similar guess was formed.
"Yuetong is very short of money in her family," Mu Ningshuang stared at the cafe intently, hiding in the shadows and doing what she did like a private detective. "Otherwise she can't come out to work but won't tell me. "
Moreover, Lu Yuetong's academic performance is pretty good, and she also wants to be admitted to a good university. In order to meet the expectations of her parents, she works very hard and spends a lot of time studying every day. How can she have time to work.
Observed for a while, until Lu Yuetong walked out of the house wearing a maid obedience, she left. It is always bad to stay here. There is a risk of being discovered by friends at any time, and she doesn't want to be discovered now, so she goes home first, and waits for other things to be discussed later.
On the way home from the cart, Mu Ningshuang's little head kept thinking.
"It's wrong to jump to a conclusion. There is not enough information. You have to collect more information."
Jumping to conclusions and overconfidence are stupid behaviors, Mu Ningshuang is not that stupid, so she has to find other ways to confirm her guess.
In the cafe, after separating from his friends, and riding alone on the road, Lu Yuetong's mentality became a little more stable. Not as uncomfortable as before, she was thinking about Mu Ningshuang along the way, thinking about how she cared about herself, thinking that her original expressionless face had become enriched by caring about herself.
Lu Yuetong is very happy that she has a close friend who is worried about herself, but at the same time she is also very sad because she shouldn't have worried her for herself.
"I don't know when... I have to work harder, Xiaotong, it's not the time to think about it, cheer up!"
She patted her cheeks hard, and she took a long breath, her cheeks swollen with air.
"Huh... everything will be fine... so, work hard!"
The work in the cafe is temporary. She is not hired yet, she is still in the probation period, and her salary is calculated on a daily basis. Whether you can stay or not depends on your performance. If you perform well, you can go on for a long time. If you perform poorly, you can find other jobs.
She found a lot of jobs, and signed up one by one according to the salary. Most of them were rejected, and some were rejected on her own initiative. In fact, she is not satisfied with the salary of the cafe work, but she can't help it. After all, she is only a part-time job, not to mention that according to the market, the treatment is already very good. She is insatiable, and she knows this too.
Putting her hand on the doorknob, she was still cheering herself up before going out.
Mu Ningshuang’s family and Lu Yuetong’s family were originally neighbors, and their relationship was pretty good, but later, for some reason, Lu Yuetong’s parents chose to move. Although she was still in the same city, but moved to a far place, Mu Ningshuang remembered clearly that it was when she was in middle school.
Even Lu Yuetong didn't understand the thoughts of her parents. She lived well, so how can she say that she moved? She has such a good relationship with Mu Ningshuang, she still wants to live here with her. For this reason, she asked her parents, but couldn't get the answer from them. As time passed, it gradually disappeared.
This was a long time ago, and somehow Lu Yuetong suddenly remembered it.
After stepping to the telephone pole next to her, Mu Ningshuang poked her head out carefully. The person she was staring at as the target was naturally Lu Yuetong.
Every day after school, there was a section of the road they walked together until they separated at the second intersection. They usually separate there, and today is no exception.
Both sides waved goodbye.
Mu Ningshuang turned a corner and pretended to go home. She looked back from time to time to see if Lu Yuetong was looking here. After confirmation, she quickly hid into the nearest alley, stuck her head out, and watched Lu Yuetong.
In order to track it smoothly today, she has practiced hard and can't say how useful it is, but it is better than just doing it directly.
Mu Ningshuang's heart is very nervous and her heartbeat is very fast. She is a little worried. If her friend finds out how to explain herself, she can't think of a good reason, so the best way is not to be discovered.
The back of her friend almost disappeared, and she would turn right at the intersection ahead. Mu Ningshuang still didn't move. She knew the route to her friend's house anyway, so she didn't have to worry about getting lost, and there was no need to worry.
Hanging behind her friend without saying a word, looking at her back from behind, she couldn't see anything unusual.
Lu Yuetong was calm, as if the previous ones were all phantoms, everything returned to normal. Of course Mu Ningshuang didn't think so, besides, she also believed that by feeling alone, things could not end simply.
She slowed down and chose a hiding place long ago. In order not to be discovered, she was careful and cautious.
As she walked, she found something wrong, frowned, and stopped actively.
"Yuetong, she didn't go home," Mu Ningshuang muttered to herself, "Did you find me?"
This thought arose in an instant, but she thought it was unlikely. She is no longer the original self, but Yuetong should still be the same.
Lu Yuetong was turning around randomly.
The way home was the old one. The time displayed on the mobile phone was half an hour after school. Lu Yuetong should be home in the past half an hour. She didn't have it today.
Wandering around aimlessly, she looked like she was not going to go home in a short time. Mu Ningshuang's doubts arose again, she really couldn't understand what her friends thought.
After a while, Mu Ningshuang looked at Lu Yuetong's appearance and suddenly had an idea.
"Does Yuetong just don't want to go home?"
It is not impossible to stare quietly at a friend who seems to be thinking something with his head down.
Under the scorching sun, the scorching light scorched the earth, and the air was scorching hot and scorching. The world has become an oven, and people in it are grilled all the time.
Terrible weather. Unless necessary, Mu Ningshuang would never want to go out in this weather, but Lu Yuetong would rather roast it in the oven than go home earlier.
"What will happen?"
Mu Ningshuang wanted to understand clearly, she couldn't formulate a solution without understanding clearly, let alone act.
