"What the hell? You're threatening me?"
Dong Yike, who was eating noodles, froze. She stared at Yu Mobai with wide eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her gaze.
However, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I...I'm not afraid of the dark."
As if trying to avoid the problem, she raised her white, lotus-root-like arm and called out, "Boss, the wine should be chilled!"
"I just heard you're taking the college entrance exam this year, so please don't drink."
The owner, a middle-aged man in his forties, brought over two bottles of Coke and placed them on the table. "Have a drink."
"Thank you, boss."
Yu Mobai grinned.
Dong Yike glared at him, clearly annoyed, but since the shopkeeper wouldn't give her any alcohol, she had no choice but to angrily unscrew the cap on her cola and take a swig, "Burp~"
"Are you really that indifferent to your appearance?"
"What's the point of having an image? Am I there for you to see?"
Yu Mobai pursed his lips. This kid is really blunt. He just exposed your fear of the dark.
After finishing her noodles in a few bites, Dong Yike wiped her mouth, paid the bill, picked up her schoolbag, and walked to the store entrance.
Seeing that it was pitch black outside, she pulled back the foot she had stepped out with. "Hey, are you a woman? Does it take you this long to eat?"
"Yeah, anyway, I'm not afraid of the dark, so it's okay if I get home a little late."
Yu Mobai didn't even need to turn around to imagine Dong Yike's expression.
"They're gone."
Dong Yike's face darkened. She glared fiercely at the boy's back before resolutely walking out of the store.
Using the light from the noodle shop entrance, she dared to take a few steps, but once she was completely enveloped in darkness, she looked around like a little hamster.
It was ten minutes later when she got home. She unlocked the door with her key and quickly closed it, as if afraid that something unclean had followed her in.
"Clap clap clap clap".
She finally breathed a sigh of relief after turning on all the lights in the room at once, then tossed the pointer hidden in her sleeve aside.
Lying on the sofa, the slippers hanging from her fair toes swayed up and down with her fair calves.
She seems to have a fondness for red; her feet appear exceptionally white against the backdrop of her red toenails.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and sent a text message to her mother first, then opened QQ and posted a status update.
【I'm not afraid of the dark at all!! (Angry)】
...
Yu Mobai was leisurely eating his noodles when he heard someone walk in from outside and say in a cool voice, "Boss, one bowl of old broth noodles, to go."
He turned around upon hearing the familiar voice, and it was Ji Mushu.
"Wooden comb, what brings you to eat noodles too?"
Ji Mushu snorted softly, pretended not to see it, and casually found a table to sit down.
Why did you leave so early today?
Yu Mobai sat down opposite her with a bowl of noodles in his hand.
I'm hungry.
Ji Mushu always speaks concisely, as if she charges for her words.
"Uncle Ji isn't home?"
"work overtime."
The two sat together for only a few words before the owner brought out the packaged noodles, and Ji Mushu patted her bottom and left.
Yu Mobai glanced at her, then continued eating his noodles slowly.
When they got home, Yu Jinsheng and Zheng Zhaoxia were doing accounts on the coffee table, which was covered with a large pile of purchase receipts.
The two of them opened a supermarket not far from the family compound. It wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. It had two floors and was about 200 square meters.
He had witnessed this scene for over a decade.
However, this also reminded him of something.
Two things were very important to his family this year.
The first thing he had to do was take the college entrance examination.
The second thing was that his family's supermarket went out of business.
Last year, a new chain supermarket, Zhongxing Supermarket, opened nearby.
Needless to say, the price is much cheaper than their supermarket, and the selection is more complete.
There are even some snacks, cinemas, and a range of other facilities.
This attracted many nearby residents to shop there, since places with food and entertainment are always more crowded.
However, this has brought considerable hidden dangers to his supermarket.
Yu Jinsheng initially planned to lower prices, but due to cost and labor reasons, his items were always more expensive than those at Zhongxing Supermarket.
After a while, apart from the familiar people in the family compound, the number of customers decreased by more than half, and apart from the old neighbors in the surrounding area, there were basically no new customers coming to spend money.
Until this year, because the business had expanded too much, it had become somewhat unprofitable.
If I remember correctly, it was not long after the college entrance examination that Yu Jinsheng closed the supermarket.
Although the elderly couple later took up other businesses, they still kept talking about their lingering regrets.
"Mo Bai is back. Why are you so late today?"
Yu Jinsheng adjusted his glasses. "Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Looking at his parents, who suddenly looked more than ten years younger, Yu Mobai felt a surge of excitement.
He put down his backpack, walked up to the two people, and asked, "Has the supermarket been suffering serious losses lately?"
Zheng Zhaoxia was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to ask that. "Go back to your room and study. Why would a little kid like you care about these things?"
"These things are none of your business. Go and study. There are only two months left until the college entrance exam. Focus on your studies."
Yu Jinsheng waved his hand, "The most important thing for you now is to focus on the college entrance examination."
Yu Mobai said "Oh" and turned to go into the room.
Looking at the familiar room, he grinned, then buried himself in the covers and began to think about his future plans.
Judging from the current situation, the college entrance examination is the most important thing.
With two months left until the college entrance examination, he had already completely forgotten the knowledge in his textbooks.
First of all, he needs to study hard.
However, there wasn't enough time, so he had to sacrifice some subjects to ensure his grades in others.
After careful consideration, he gave up on mathematics.
This is something that not everyone can learn. Instead of wasting time, you might as well learn something else.
As for his parents' supermarket, he would definitely try to save it before the college entrance exam.
At least I'm a reborn human, I've seen plenty of promotional tactics, and I can learn them.
As for winter...
The next moment, the phone on the bed rang.
"Beep beep beep~"
That's one good thing about knock-off phones: when a QQ friend sends a message, the penguin icon in the notification bar flashes.
It was a message from Ji Mushu.
Who says who is who: [What math homework was assigned today?]
