After leaving the screening room, the show in Hall B next door has not ended yet. It is said that the cartoon is the latest 3D blockbuster released by Hollywood. It lasts for three and a half hours, and there is still more than an hour to finish. Shu Rao and Lou Yi can only wait.

But they couldn't just wait, so the two of them discussed it and decided to walk around nearby.

After leaving the cinema, it was completely dark outside, and the neon lights were shining brightly. From a distance, they formed a sea of ​​lights, which was very beautiful.

I didn’t know where to go, so I just walked along the road where the movie theater was located. The breeze was gentle and it was very pleasant.

On the sidewalk, people passed each other from time to time, most of them were couples holding hands, and there were also groups of high school students, who were obviously going home from their evening study sessions.

Shu Rao noticed that many students were holding milk tea in their hands, and the patterns on the cups were all the same. They were obviously from the same store. She couldn't help but wonder, why is milk tea so popular?

She has researched that there are many cake shops that also sell drinks such as milk tea. Although the profit is relatively small, if the sales are good, the income is also good, and the milk tea is easy to make, so you can open a small window in the store.

It takes up more space and can make more money. The most important thing is that she can also make milk tea, and occasionally cooks it at home. Xingchen said that the taste is better than what is sold outside. If she studies it further, she can have another profitable project.

Already.

Lou Yi noticed that Shu Rao's eyes were staring at the other person's cup, thinking that she wanted to drink. He also remembered that he didn't even buy a bottle of water for them when they were watching a movie, so he quickly stopped several students passing by and asked

He said, "Excuse me, where did you buy this milk tea?"

Several students, both male and female, stopped in their tracks. Just when a male student was about to answer, several girls screamed in unison, "Wow - so handsome!"

Lou Yi was slightly startled. He didn't seem to have thought that today's students would be so bold and shout so loudly in the street. His handsome face was slightly frightened.

Shu Rao was also startled by them, but couldn't help laughing. He turned to look at the man next to him. He had black hair and was wearing a straight olive green military uniform. The two stripes and four stars on his shoulders were particularly dazzling. He had a handsome face.

On his face, his eyes are deep... Well, he is quite handsome!

"Brother of the People's Liberation Army, are you a senior colonel with four stars?" A girl was particularly excited, her eyes filled with love.

"Brother PLA, look it's so late now, can you take me home?" Another girl was even more excited.

The boys on the side couldn't help but collapse and whispered, "Can you not embarrass our school?"

Several girls ignored them and stepped forward to surround Lou Yi, "Brother PLA, can you leave your phone number?"

Lou Yi took two steps back slightly and smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to ask where you bought this milk tea."

"Brother PLA, give me your phone number first, and then I'll tell you!" a girl said with a sly smile.

"Yes, yes, I can take you there to buy it!" The other girls also followed suit.

The boys couldn't stand listening anymore and directly exposed the girls' pink fantasies, "Hey, hey, my military wife is standing next to her!"

He pointed at Shu Rao.

Army wife?

Only then did the girls discover Shu Rao's presence, and their eyes widened immediately.

Shu Rao's face turned red, and he no longer had the intention to laugh at the joke. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Lou Yi was also slightly startled, and the smile on his lips froze.

A boy said kindly, "Brother from the People's Liberation Army, sister from the Army, if you want to buy milk tea, you have to hurry up. The milk tea shop will be closed soon. Just turn right two hundred meters ahead."

After saying that, they pulled a few girls and left quickly.

Shu Rao froze on the spot, her pretty face flushed, and Lou Yi was silent for a few seconds. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze and softly uttered two words, "Let's go."

The two of them continued walking forward, and after walking about two hundred meters, they saw a milk tea shop.

The shop is small and has a new sign. It looks like it is newly opened, but it is very popular. It is almost closing, but there is still a long queue outside.

Shu Rao couldn't help but be curious, and hurriedly walked over to queue up, while Lou Yi stood aside and waited.

Shu Rao was queuing up while looking out of the window, obviously trying to steal her lesson. Only then did Lou Yi realize that she didn't just want to drink a cup of milk tea. He couldn't help but smile, and he felt appreciative of her diligence in his heart.

Not many girls nowadays are so diligent and eager to learn. He also knew some of her family's situation, so he admired her for her continuous self-improvement.

Unfortunately, the girl in front of Shu Rao bought the last cup of milk tea, and the boss said apologetically, "Sorry, miss, we're closed."

Shu Rao was very disappointed. He stared at the milk tea machine eagerly and couldn't help but beg, "Boss, can you make me another cup? I've been waiting for a long time."

The boss shook his head and said, "Miss, I'm so sorry. I make one pot of milk tea. You only buy one cup. What should I do with the rest? I have to close the door immediately."

Shu Rao thought for a while and realized that a pot of milk tea only contained about twenty cups. She bought them all and took them home. They could keep them in the refrigerator for two days, so she quickly said, "Boss, can I buy them all?"

Please help me make another pot!"

The boss still shook his head, "Miss, this is not a matter of money, but a matter of time. Let me tell you the truth. My daughter is waiting for me upstairs to practice piano with her. I am about to finish work. If I don't go up, she

Who refuses to play!"

"Playing the piano?" Lou Yi suddenly interrupted.

The boss said while closing the stall, "Yes, my daughter is going to participate in the piano competition next month, but she has not been in good condition recently. She also said that this time the competition was not good and she will not practice in the future. But she has been studying for a long time.

"Piano lessons are so expensive, so you can't give up halfway. I have to go to work during the day, sell milk tea at night, and my wife goes to the restaurant to wash dishes. It's all for her, hey!"

Shu Rao pursed her lips, feeling sympathy and emotion in her heart. She really pitied the hearts of parents in the world.

"Okay then, I'll come over early tomorrow to line up."

The boss quickly informed and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I will be closed starting tomorrow. I will wait until my daughter finishes the competition and then open again."

Shu Rao couldn't help but frown slightly, wouldn't she have to wait a long time? She would be busy opening a store after the Chinese New Year, so she probably wouldn't have time. However, she couldn't force anyone to do it.

Lou Yi suddenly said, "Boss, I can play the piano. Why don't I go up and practice with your daughter? If you think it works, how about you help us make another pot of milk tea?"

Hearing this, the boss was slightly startled, and Shu Rao was also surprised. He can play the piano?

"Dad, come here quickly!" the little girl's voice came from upstairs.

The boss quickly put down the things in his hands and wiped his apron with both hands. Seeing that Lou Yi was wearing a military uniform, he looked good and upright, so he trusted her, so he said, "Then you give it a try, and it's best to give her some guidance."

"

"I'll try my best," Lou Yi promised.

The boss opened the small door next to him and asked Shu Rao and Lou Yi to go in, "Come in!"

The two of them followed the boss up the narrow stairs and arrived at the second floor. This was a small attic where the boss's family of three lived. There was little furniture. A grand piano was placed in the middle of the floor.

The girl sat in front of the piano with a confused look on her face.

Music should be enjoyed, but at this moment, the little child is already stressed.

The boss asked Lou Yi to play a song first. Lou Yi smiled at the little girl, then sat next to her, put his hands on the keyboard, tried a few notes gently, and then played the soft tune with flying fingers.

It flows from your fingertips instantly.

The lights from the roof shone down, shrouding his face in a halo, making it particularly hazy, yet exceptionally handsome.

He is like Prince Charming in a fairy tale, so gentle, but the straight military uniform on his body makes him so strong and resolute, more like a knight with a majestic weapon.

Shu Rao didn't know anything about the piano, so she just looked at him quietly and listened quietly. She thought the music was very pleasant, like a gurgling stream, clear and clear, flowing slowly through her heart.

The little girl also gradually became obsessed with listening to the beautiful melody. The expression on her little face unconsciously relaxed, and the boss smiled happily at the side.

The sound of the piano is tinkling, dong dong, and the whole world is simple and beautiful.

After the song was finished, the ending notes were lively like elves dancing in the forest, and the beautiful melody drew a perfect ending in the air. He slowly raised his head and turned around.

"How is it?" A low and gentle voice.

"It sounds great!" The little girl couldn't help but applaud, with an expression of anticipation on her face. "Uncle, can I play as well as you?"

Lou Yi smiled softly and encouraged, "As long as you practice more and don't think about anything when playing the piano, just think about the notes, you will play better than your uncle."

The little girl immediately beamed, her little hands covered the keyboard, and the tinkling notes sounded again, extremely happy.

Lou Yi occasionally helped her correct her, and the sound of the piano was melodious, like a dream.

The boss burst into tears of gratitude and said quickly, "I'll go down and help you make milk tea!"

Shu Rao felt happy and followed him downstairs, but when he reached the stairs, he suddenly turned around, feeling somewhat reluctant for some reason.

In the small attic, the lights were on, illuminating the piano. The tall figure sat quietly, the piano played melodiously, and there was a dreamy and vague beauty that blurred her vision.

She was stunned for a moment, then put away her thoughts, turned around and went downstairs to see how the boss made milk tea and secretly learned from it. The sound of the piano from upstairs was always heard.

◎◎◎

More than half an hour later, the milk tea was ready. The boss poured a pot of milk tea into small cups and sealed them with a machine. Twenty cups of milk tea were packed into two large bags. He also took straws and packed them together.

, hand it to them.

Shu Rao stretched out her hand to take it, but Lou Yi was the first to take it. She was slightly startled and stopped fighting. She took out her wallet and gave the money to the boss. Lou Yi also knew that she only wanted to pay back the money for the dress, so he didn't follow her.

scramble.

But the boss refused again and again and refused to take the money. "No, no, you have done me a big favor today. This milk tea is just a little bit of my kindness. I don't need any money!"

"How can that be done? You are doing business!" Shu Rao insisted on paying.

The boss still refused to accept it, so Lou Yi also persuaded him, "Boss, please accept it. The People's Liberation Army cannot take advantage of the masses!"

The boss looked at his upright military uniform, and then reluctantly accepted it, but it was based on the cost price. Shu Rao said gratefully, "Thank you, boss!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Go back and give it a try. If there's anything you don't understand, come back and ask me!" The boss obviously discovered Shu Rao's motive for stealing.

Shu Rao was immediately embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and said nothing.
