Chapter 28 Chapter 2 The Sad Guest (2)

"My God, I always thought she was a boy of fifteen or sixteen. So how old is Leaf?" Marty asked.Matty began to feel embarrassed by the laughter of Suyuan and the girls. "Twenty-two." Su Yuan said. The girls at the bar were still smiling.These maidens, who baffled Marty, circled the leaflets like flowers and butterflies. "And you, you can still laugh! Don't you all know Xiaoye is not a boy?" Marty asked. "nonsense!" "Of course, that's why it's cute!" "Boy? Handcuff!" Girls, you talk to each other, and the crisp and tender voices are very lovable.Their expressions are serious and lively.Marty has fully received the message: she and the girls have indeed had a generation gap!It turned out that the fiery adoring eyes of these young girls were devoted to a same-sex girl.Now Marty understands why Xiaoye is so easy to be intimate with other women, but that doesn't mean Marty can feel relieved.Previously she set Xiaoye as a beautiful boy, and she treated Xiaoye's slightly provocative behavior with tenderness; now that Xiaoye is a girl, Marty is a little confused.

With a bang, Xiaoye pushed the door open and walked out of the women's toilet. While walking, she also adjusted the handsome Harley logo belt around her waist.This time even Marty couldn't help laughing, and laughed with all the girls. "What's new that makes you so happy?" Xiaoye asked. "There are new things every day, and today is the most outrageous." Marty said with a smile.Su Yuan reached out to rub Xiaoye's short hair, Xiaoye smiled foolishly.No matter how you look at it, it is a boy's cute smile. The Eagles' old song Hotel California came from the stereo, and the sad coffee shop was immersed in a romantic and trance atmosphere.The customers who started drinking and bartending relaxed, and the smoke filled the entire storefront.drug den.Marty whispered, stooping in the pouch for her new cigarettes, and lit one.

The tabby glides through the mist like a water snake.It quietly came to Xiaoye's legs, rubbed against her, and meowed.Xiaoye took out a can of fish from the freezer, and put a few into the cat bowl in the corner.Next to a clump of Brazilian vines in the corner, there are two cat bowls, both of which are dark hand-drawn pottery embryos. The tabby cat sits down and gathers its four legs and tail neatly, eating fish.The other bowl was empty and dry. With Suyuan's skillful help, Marty freed up her hands and feet, and Xiaoye mixed a glass of light rum for her.Marty sat in Hai'an's special seat, sipping lightly.She tried to call the tabby by meowing, and the cat, which had eaten all the fish, actually came, with its umbrella-knotted tail straightened up, circled twice under Marty's feet, jumped on the seat next to her, and was very happy. Concentrate on licking your washed face.

Marty stroked the cat with one hand, and the whole person became lazy, and Xiaoye sent a large plate of sliced ​​cakes. "I forgot that you must not have eaten yet. I'm sorry, I don't have the energy to make dinner today, everyone will order cake." Xiaoye said. Marty and Xiaoye ate various cakes, and Xiaoye drank a lot of ice water in a beer glass.In order to fully enjoy the deliciousness of various cakes.The two of them peeled and ate each piece of cake, and Xiaoye kept encouraging the cat to eat the cake crumbs. "What's the cat's name?" Marty asked.

"Little leopard." "Well, very apt." "There is another one named Saturday, who is the little leopard's brother." "Where, why didn't I see it?" Marty looked around. "I can't see it. I wandered outside all day on Saturday." Xiaoye looked at Marty, her eyes sparkled, "Marty, do you consider coming to the store to help?" "I'm here to help, sister Xiaoye." Marty said, and she couldn't help touching Xiaoye's cute short hair. "I mean officially come to help." "How can I do that? I still have a job."

"It's okay. Come back after get off work and help us from seven to eleven in the evening, so we can be busy." "Isn't that exhausting me?" "Not tired, not tired! Jier Suyuan often comes to help, and besides, it's quite fun. The salary must satisfy you. Brother Ke said that if you can help part-time in the evening, the monthly salary can be counted as 25,000 for you." "Is there a mistake?" Marty was dumbfounded. Four hours a night was close to her monthly salary. "How can such a high salary be? Does the store still make money?"

"It's still profitable. The business has stabilized. Besides, we opened this store mainly for entertainment, and we didn't expect how much money we would make." "You told Hai'an that you wanted me?" Marty asked. "Yeah." Xiaoye's expression was very serious, "I asked Brother Ke, and he said yes." "Xiaoye," Marty couldn't help asking, "Why do you believe I'm suitable? We've only met a few times." Xiaoye lay on the table, stroking the beer mug: "Actually, I paid attention to you the first time you came here. Do you remember? I have never seen a guest who is sadder than you. Such sadness is of course the most suitable for us There's a coffee shop."

"Are you telling the truth?" Marty remembered the downcast appearance of coming here for the first time. "Fake." Xiaoye raised the corners of her mouth and smiled handsomely, and clasped Marty's cheeks provocatively with one hand, "You looked miserable that day, so I gave you cigarettes. I remember you. I don't know why, We seem to be destined. I really believe in fate, do you believe it?" "Trust me," Marty said softly.A part-time job with a monthly salary of 25,000 is exciting.She really needs money, and there seems to be a bigger reason to attract her. "Xiaoye, can I go back and think about it?"

"Okay! But you have to think about it quickly, otherwise Xiaoye will be exhausted and the store won't need to open." Xiaoye stood up and greeted a waving customer. Marty wiped his mouth, cleared the table, and went to help at the bar.She saw Xiaoye searching in the coffee cup cabinet on the wall, and brought out a set of beautiful gold-painted porcelain cups and saucers to Su Yuan, explaining that they were the coffee cups of the guests at the third table. Those are the cups that the customers left in the coffee shop.The boarding rack is an oak cabinet with lights on the bottom. The cabinet is divided into dozens of small compartments, filled with a variety of cup sets, and there is a small sign in front of the cup to mark the name of the guest.Marty thought of the blue bone china mug in her suitcase.

The atmosphere in the store became heated, and people began to dance on the small dance floor.Xiaoye is busy playing music. Although she is sick, she still dances livelyly with girls at their invitation from time to time.Su Yuan ate some French fries and chatted with the guests. The two things Marty can't do in front of people are singing and dancing.She enjoyed watching the young people posing on the crowded small dance floor.These beauties, who are generally called the nightlife in Taipei, come to the small coffee house that serves wine with their companions after get off work, drink some wine, pour out their thoughts, and dance some dances, showing their youth dressed especially for the night in Taipei, maybe I also kissed someone I didn't really love, exchanged some overly excited hugs, or shed a few tears. All the depression during the day evaporated into the night sky with alcohol.At dawn tomorrow, I took off the heavy makeup of the night and washed away all the absurdity, and then returned to the place where they worked and made a living.Work!Marty works nine and a half hours a day, and she is very excited that her income is close to working here for half a night.
