Hua Jin was a little surprised to see Pei Yan coming at this time. Recently, in order to fulfill customer orders, Huajin opened the store one or two hours earlier than usual. According to the usual opening hours of the store, she is not in the store yet.

Looking at the unstable girl, she made a gesture to Pei Yan, telling him to sit at the counter for a while. Pei Yan, who usually liked to argue with her, actually understood what she meant and sat behind the cashier without saying a word.

"Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong in relationships and life." Hua Jin took out two tissues and put them in the girl's hands. "You have chosen different paths and have different expectations for the future. You are reluctant to be together, and it may be due to various reasons. The conflicts were separated, and now we are separated, at least we still have a good memory."

"Sorry, did I talk too much?" Hua Jin smiled and brought the cup to the girl, "Drink some water."

"No, thank you." The girl took the cup blankly, "With you talking with me, I feel much better. It's me who has troubled you..."

She was a little embarrassed to think that she had said so much in front of strangers. He lowered his head and drank water to hide the shame in his heart. Maybe it was because the atmosphere of this store was too comfortable, or maybe it was because the beautiful shop owner in front of her had such gentle eyes, which made her unconsciously have the desire to talk: "Do you have someone you like?"

Pei Yan, who was sitting at the counter, turned his head to look this way, then quickly turned back.

"Me?" Hua Jin chuckled, "For me, the most important thing is embroidery, so that more people can like it and appreciate it."

"That's fine. Things like feelings are too hurtful." The girl stopped crying and felt much better. "A man may leave, but career and money won't. Even if you have love, You can’t give up on yourself either. You are so beautiful, don’t be delayed by those stinky men.”

I didn't expect this girl to say such a thing. Hua Jin said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "Thank you for complimenting me on my beauty. Please rest assured that I will not take advantage of others."

The girl was amused by Hua Jin's words. She covered her red and swollen eyes: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

"Every love is beautiful, no matter how it ends, it is not a joke." Hua Jin smiled and said, "I wish you all the best in the future and a good harvest in love and career."

"Thank you." The girl paid the balance and noticed a white scar on Hua Jin's beautiful and fair hands. This scar is very deep and remains on the index finger, destroying the perfection of this hand. "Have you really never liked anyone before?"

After asking this question, she realized her rudeness.

The most taboo thing in life is to talk briefly and deeply. She only has a host-guest relationship with this shop owner, and she doesn't even know his name. This kind of question is too personal, and she shouldn't ask it.

"Sorry..." She apologized with a red face.

"It doesn't matter." Hua Jin didn't mind the girl's abruptness, and smiled softly after recalling it for a moment, "It doesn't matter."

Hearing her specious answer, the girl was stunned for a moment, stood up and said, "I understand." There are many things in the world that are more important than love, and the emotions in the world are not just love.

She didn't see clearly enough before.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." The girl said sincerely, "I wish your shop's business will get better and better, and more and more people will like embroidery. I wish your wish will come true."

Wishes come true...

Hua Jin smiled like a flower: "Thank you, I will."

After sending the girl out of the store, Hua Jin looked back and saw Pei Yan lying on the counter, and couldn't help but smile: "Sleepy?"

"Why are you sleepy? I'm afraid she will be embarrassed when she sees me. I'm a grown man and I have no interest in listening to your women's private talk." Pei Yan pushed the breakfast box and said, "I'll give you a conveniently packed breakfast. , take it and eat it quickly."

Hua Jin walked to the sofa and sat down and took a taste: "It tastes a bit like that high-priced custard bun in a breakfast restaurant?" On the day Sister Qin's son ran away from home, Pei Yan took her to eat there. Pass.

"Didn't you say that the food there is delicious?" Pei Yan walked to the sofa and sat down, and said casually, "I happened to pass by there in the morning, so I bought you one."

"Thank you." Hua Jin took a sip of freshly squeezed soy milk, "Have you eaten it?"

"I get up every morning for a run, and I've already finished eating by this time." Pei Yan picked up the brochure under the table and flipped it through, "You seem to be opening your store earlier these days?"

"Well, Mr. Yang's grandma's birthday is coming soon. The embroidered screen he ordered has not been completed yet. In addition, there have been more customers recently, so we have to open the shop early." After a custard wrap, his empty belly finally felt at ease. I feel, "In our industry, when business is good, we can't be lazy and miss good opportunities. We don't know when we can make money back."

"You can't make enough money. You close the store at ten o'clock in the evening and open the store at seven in the morning. Can your body bear it?" Pei Yan couldn't help but said, "Take the subway from you to here, and you have to transfer. After two trips, you have to get up at five or six o'clock and only sleep for a few hours at night?"

"I didn't expect you to know the subway route." Hua Jin opened her eyes wide and smiled at Pei Yan, "It seems that you are still a very down-to-earth rich man. I am disrespectful."

"I..." Pei Yan lost his temper at Hua Jin's reaction, and took a deep breath, "Can't you have normal things in your mind?"

"I know what you mean, but sometimes there is no other way but to grit your teeth and fight hard." Hua Jin smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing me breakfast."

"Who sent it specially? I was just dropping by." Pei Yan frowned, "Let's talk after breakfast. Is there anything I can help with in the store?"

"I got off work last night and the glutinous rice dumplings have been packed away. There is nothing to do now. Just sit and rest." Hua Jin continued to eat breakfast with her head down. The steaming porridge made her eyes feel itchy. , she couldn't help but blink her eyes a few more times before suppressing the itching.

"I think what the woman just said was wrong." Pei Yan walked around the room several times. After Hua Jin had almost eaten, he sat down next to her, "They are all from the same village. , where do these different worlds come from?"

"A village?" Hua Jin looked at Pei Yan in surprise, "How do you know they are from the same village?"

"It's not just them, you and I are also from the same village." Pei Yan raised his chin, "Ten years ago, there was a world-famous song with lyrics like this."

Hua Jin: "..."

"You and I are connected heart to heart and live together in the global village." Pei Yan looked at Hua Jin and said, "Look, we are both from the same village, and there is no distinction between the world and the world. In the final analysis, we just don't love each other enough. If the love is deep enough, we can be together thousands of miles apart; if the love is not enough, even if one is in the East City and the other is in the West City, it is still a long-distance relationship and a different world."

"What you are talking about...is an Olympic song." Hua Jin was stunned, and it took him a long time to find his own words, "Why do I feel that what you said is a bit unreasonable?"

"What's wrong? Anyway, there is no reason for things like feelings." Pei Yan bent down to collect the empty lunch box on the table, "Other people's emotional experiences cannot become yours. The ending of the relationship is not yours either. Yes, don’t listen to other people’s nonsense and it will affect yourself.”

Hua Jin: "..."

She looked at this man in an expensive shirt, helping her put away the lunch boxes on the table, and felt like the abominable Dong Yong, who had dragged the fairy down from the mortal world: "Don't move, I will collect this." ."

"Collect whatever you want, take advantage of the fact that there are no guests now, sit down and rest for a while." Pei Yan glared at her, took the lunch box and went out to throw away the garbage, "Do you really think your body is made of iron? Wait until you have been busy these days. , I will take you to see an old doctor and let him look at your legs."

Hua Jin stared at his back, slowly lowered her eyelids, reached out and rubbed her knees.

On that rainy night, she lay on the ground, blood flowing out of her body, and sewage flowing through her hands, her face, and her wounds.

The car that hit her just stopped there, and the driver looked at her with disdain, as if looking at another ant.

When the headlights came on again, she thought the driver would choose to run over her.

At that moment, another car approached...

"Hua Jin." The man in a white shirt walked over, with a slight smile on his handsome face, "Here you go."

The rich floral fragrance passed into his nose. Hua Jin looked at his palm. There was a bouquet of white gardenias placed there. It was already June, but there were still gardenias?

"It smells so good." Hua Jin took the flowers and placed them on the fruit plate, "Thank you."

Looking at the gardenias arranged in a row, Pei Yan sighed. Unexpectedly, it was the first time in his life that he gave flowers to a woman. What he gave was a large bag of gardenias for ten yuan: "There were two just now. A kid was selling it outside and said he was participating in a charity sale, so I bought the bag."

"I like it very much." Hua Jin smiled at Pei Yan.

"Just a few worthless gardenias..." Pei Yan coughed dryly, "If Yang Shao's embroidered screen can't be made in time, it doesn't matter if it's finished later. I'll go talk to Yang Shao."

Hua Jin smiled: "Okay."

Looking at the polite smile on Hua Jin's face, Pei Yan knew that although she said yes, she would definitely complete Yang Shao's request on time. He sighed: "Forget it, I have to start tomorrow. I stopped by here and bought you breakfast."

Hua Jin held a gardenia in her hand, lowered her head and smiled: "Thank you."

There were footsteps, and Pei Yan looked back. It was Hua Jin's friend who came. He coughed dryly: "I'm leaving, please take a rest."

Tan Yuan looked at the handsome man who nodded reservedly towards her, then turned to look at Hua Jin, these two people...

As soon as Pei Yan left, Tan Yuan rushed to Hua Jin: "Huahua, did you take down this handsome man...?"

"What are you thinking about?" Hua Jin quickly changed the direction of the gardenia with quick eyes and hands, preventing Tan Yuan from pressing it, "I told you earlier, we are just a pure relationship between a man and a woman."

"It's so early in the morning when a man and a woman are alone here. How can it be pure?" Tan Yuan sat down and glanced at Hua Jin. "Actually, I think this Mr. Pei is quite good. He is good-looking and charming. Money, do you want to consider it?"

"What are you considering?" Hua Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Why should I be asked to consider it? You, gossip less and do more. Have you reached an agreement with the new employee?"

"It's already been negotiated. My mother is going to sign an employee contract with her this afternoon." Tan Yuan saw that Hua Jin didn't want to talk about this topic, so she walked to her workbench and sat down, "Now let's hire an embroidery worker. If business is still so good in the future, we will hire a few more."

"Yes." Hua Jin looked away from the gardenias and nodded slowly.

"Brother Pei." Yang Shao saw Pei Yan appear and greeted him excitedly, "You are finally here. The Xu family has been coming to my house every day for the past two days. I was bored to death, so I had to move here. I'm staying in my new home for a few days. But the place here is small and I can't even move my legs. Can I stay at your place for a few days?"

Pei Yan glanced at the brand new house with four bedrooms and two living rooms, and said expressionlessly: "No."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that others will think there is something wrong with my sexual orientation." Pei Yan sat down on the sofa and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to deal with relationships. I am someone who wants to live a good life."

"Brother Pei, you attacked me personally again..." Yang Shao was frustrated for two seconds, and suddenly his expression changed, "No, Brother Pei, what did you mean by that just now?"

"What did I say?" Pei Yan turned on the TV without looking at Yang Shao.

"Do you have someone you like?" Yang Shao looked at him suspiciously.

"No!"

If you deny it so quickly, it must be true.

Yang Shao sat next to Pei Yan and bumped him with his elbow: "Although I don't have a girlfriend, I am very good at picking up girls. Tell me and I will give you some advice."

With a sneer, Pei Yan moved to the side: "She is different from your women."

"Of course, of course, how can the woman who can attract your attention, Brother Pei, be a mortal?" Yang Shao nodded repeatedly and began to count down the women who had interacted with Pei Yan recently. After thinking for a long time, only Hua Jin and Xu Si, he looked at Pei Yan half-surprised and half-suspicious, "Brother Pei, I just made things difficult for Xu Changhui yesterday. You won't tell me that you like his cousin, right?"

"Who is his cousin?" Pei Yan frowned.

"Xu Si," Yang Shao said, "I heard that this person has been asking for your contact information after returning to China. If everyone didn't know that you can't mess with... you are not a womanizer, so it would be inconvenient to tell her your contact information. Maybe she has already taken the initiative to contact you."

"How does a woman like this who likes bullying in school fit in with me?" Pei Yan stood up and said in a calm tone, "You should live here to cultivate yourself."

"Brother Pei, you are my biological brother..."

"I don't have a brother like you..."

Yang Shao: "..."

Can you please not be so obvious about your dislike?

"Brother Pei, do you... have that intention towards the flower embroidery master?" Yang Shao looked at Pei Yan carefully.

Pei Yan was silent for a moment: "I don't know."

His parents died young and he grew up with his grandfather. He didn’t know how a normal family got along, let alone what love was.

"That is, have you ever seen her and your face turned red and your heart skipped a beat, and you wanted to hold her in your arms?"

Pei Yan thought about it carefully for a long time and shook his head: "No."

Hua Jin would only make him breathless and face red with anger.

"Then do you think she is the most beautiful woman in the world, unmatched by all women in the world?"

Pei Yan thought carefully: "She does look pretty good."

Yang Shao felt that Brother Pei’s attitude didn’t look like deep-rooted love. Could it be that he spent more time with the embroiderer, which gave him the illusion of love.

"That's how men treat women." Yang Shao smiled obscenely, "I want to eat her, strip her, and..."

"Stop talking." Pei Yan frowned. Normally, he could pretend that he didn't hear what Yang Shao said, but this "she" refers to Hua Jin, which made it unbearable for him, "Said Be serious."

"A man loves a woman and loves food and sex. There is nothing serious about it." Yang Shao shook his head and sighed, "Brother Pei, relationships are too complicated and may not be suitable for you."

Pei Yan ignored him and just frowned.

I can’t see her suffering, and I’m so angry with her that I don’t want her to be sad. I wish her everything goes smoothly, and I don’t like others blaspheming against her. Isn’t it tempting?

"Mr. Mark, is this your vision?" Hua Jin looked at the design draft and had to admit that Mark, who was only thirty years old, had such a status in the fashion industry because of his talent.

She didn't know much about fashion, but as a woman, her first thought when she saw this design was to imagine how it would look on her body.

"What do you think?" Mark asked with a gentle smile.

"It's very beautiful." Hua Jin said, "The fusion of modern fashion and ancient elements is as beautiful as many girls' dreams."

"I'm very happy that Miss Hua likes it." The smile on Mark's face became even gentler. "I want to leave the embroidery patterns on this skirt to you. I believe you can make this dream even more beautiful." Happy."

Hua Jin was slightly startled and said without humility: "I will try my best."

"It's rare to ask Miss Hua out. Let's not just talk about work. The hand-ground coffee here tastes very good. Try it." Mark picked up the coffee cup, "I accidentally saw the story about Miss Hua on TV a few days ago. interview."

Hua Jin picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Which TV program are you talking about?" She was too busy these days. If Mark hadn't said that he had something to discuss with her about work, she wouldn't have wanted to go to the appointment.

"Yes." Mark nodded, "After watching that show, Miss Hua's image in my heart became even taller."

"I didn't expect Mr. Mark to watch this kind of program." Hua Jin put down her coffee cup, "It's just a coincidence. It's not as good as what was said on TV."

Mark glanced at the coffee in her hand, called the waiter, and ordered some cakes. After the cake was served, he said softly: "The cakes in this store are also delicious. The sweetness of the cake can just dissolve the bitterness brought by the coffee. The bitterness is sweet at the same time, just like the insights of life."

Hua Jin smiled and said nothing.

She really didn't like the bitter taste of coffee, but she didn't expect Mark to notice it.

I scooped out a piece of cake with a spoon, and the sweet cream melted in my mouth, washing away the bitterness in my mouth.

"Flower embroidery master, what a coincidence."

Hearing someone calling her, Hua Jin turned around and saw Chen Jiang standing not far behind her.

She felt inexplicably that the way Chen Jiang looked at her seemed to be looking at Pan Jinlian, who was dating Ximen Qing.
