Chapter 2361 Scales
The store manager smiled bitterly.

Mr. Shan felt very embarrassed and ashamed when talking about his fainting.

"So Mr. Shan is not sure whether what he saw that night was real... or was it just an illusion caused by alcohol and light?"

"The next day, Mr. Shan woke up in his own bed."

"He was woken up by his girlfriend."

"Same as before."

"His girlfriend told him to get up for work."

"Breakfast is ready in the restaurant. It's his favorite preserved egg and lean meat porridge, as well as fried eggs and sausages..."

"Everything is the same as before."

"but……"

"Even though he was uncertain, Mr. Shan still had a knot in his heart."

……

"Does his girlfriend restrict him from going out?"

Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something.

……

"This one……"

The store manager was stunned.

Then he shook his head, "I don't know."

"Mr. Shan didn't mention it."

"...But, there shouldn't be any restrictions...right?"

That's too exaggerated.

Moreover, although apart from the last time recently... and the last time was a long time ago... but before that, Mr. Shan often came to the flower shop.

Whenever Mr. Shan came, he looked like he was in love and happy.

There is no sense of restriction of freedom at all.

……

"Because you said he felt his girlfriend was very possessive and controlling of him."

"But what he said didn't seem to reflect these two points."

Xiao Xiao flicked his fingers casually.

Taotie rolled backwards.

Taotie steadied himself and raised his face with an expression of anger.

Xiao Xiao smiled.

As a guest, how can you take snacks from the host's plate?
……

Yingzhao lives in the flower shop.

He is also the owner of the flower shop.

……

Taotie curled his lips.

The host's job is to entertain guests.

How can such a small amount of snacks be enough for it to eat?
……

Looking at a certain self-righteous monster, Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement.

The snacks are prepared by the store manager.

The store manager didn't know that there was a big eater customer named Taotie.

……

"..."

The store manager was silent for a while.

Then he said with a somewhat uncertain tone, "What follows... is just my guess."

"In addition to what Mr. Shan said..."

"I think Mr. Shan is hiding something..."

"very important……"

"I think... that's the main reason Mr. Shan wants to break up."

"...But, this is Mr. Shan's private matter after all."

"Mr. Shan is willing to tell me, I'll listen."

"If Mr. Shan doesn't say anything, I won't ask any more questions."

The store manager smiled and shook his head. "After all, Mr. Shan and I are just the owner of a flower shop and a customer who comes to buy flowers."

They are not friends with whom one can confide.

In fact, he felt that... Mr. Shan had told him more than he expected.

perhaps……

Mr. Shan was really troubled by this for a long time.

This kind of thing is really hard to tell others.

I just don’t know how to tell people.

I'm also embarrassed to tell others.

……

Therefore, Mr. Shan was willing to tell him that the store manager was touched by the trust and also felt a sense of responsibility.

I always feel that since I have listened to so much from Mr. Shan, I can no longer just listen to Mr. Shan's situation and be indifferent.

……

"Although I really want to ask more questions."

The store manager showed some worry on his face.

"But Mr. Shan is not in good condition."

"This makes me want to know more about Mr. Shan. I want to see if there is anything I can do to help Mr. Shan."

"…It also makes me afraid to show too much."

"I'm afraid of irritating Mr. Shan."

Because of this concern, in the end he only comforted Mr. Shan with a few words.

He couldn't do more.

only……

If Mr. Shan feels that he is someone he can trust and confide in, he is willing to be a quiet listener.

……

"Mr. Shan, I'm making new flower tea." "If you'd like, you're welcome to come over later to try it."

"If you like, you can take some back."

"It's a gift in return for your continued support of this flower shop."

……

"It's just a small gift."

"Not respectful."

"I hope you don't mind."

……

The store manager still remembers Mr. Shan’s expression and answer at that time.

Perhaps because of the conversation, Mr. Shan's expression was much more relaxed than at the beginning.

He smiled and said -
"it is good."

……

"But half a month has passed since then."

The store manager couldn't hide his worry in his words, "He didn't come back."

"Of course, maybe it's the end of the year and Mr. Shan is very busy..."

“But I always feel a little bothered by what he said.”

"...I wonder how Mr. Shan is getting along with his girlfriend?"

Did Mr. Shan propose to break up?

There shouldn't be any...

If so -
As someone who knows the general situation, the store manager thinks, according to common sense, Mr. Shan should come and tell him.

But no.

……

The manager shook his head.

"Sorry, I was overthinking it."

He reached out and tapped his forehead gently.

"It's mainly because Xiao Zhu's incident today reminded me of Mr. Shan's incident."

I remembered the last time I talked to Mr. Shan.

The worries that had faded away with the passage of time have become clear again.

but……

As he has said before.

There's nothing he can do.

So, instead of worrying about it here, it’s better not to think too much.

Just let nature take its course.

Hopefully this time will be the same as last time.

After a long time, when he happened to look out the door, he could see Mr. Shan hesitating at the door.

……

"Sorry, Master Xiao."

The store manager suddenly reacted.

"I seem to have been telling you all the unhappy things."

Although it wasn’t him who said what happened to Xiao Zhu before.

It was because of his request that Grandma Luo told them.

Now he is talking about Mr. Shan again...

The store manager smiled apologetically.

"I don't know what's going on either."

"It seems like everyone has encountered a lot of things recently..."

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"I was curious, so the flower shop manager told me-"

Ok?
Xiao Xiao spread out his palms.

Ying Zhao put a piece of scale that was as thin as a cicada's wing and almost transparent into his hand.

……

This is……

Xiao Xiao looked at Ying Zhao.

……

The store manager was curious about what Master Xiao had not finished saying.

My mouth opened subconsciously.

The next second, he closed his mouth.

Although he didn't know what had happened, but Master Xiao's look...it seemed that he shouldn't disturb Master Xiao at this time.

The store manager sat quietly aside.

Waiting for Master Xiao's explanation.

Whether it's an excuse or the truth...

……

"It's from that human."

A steady voice that did not match her petite figure rang in Xiao Xiao's mind.

That human...

"You mean Mr. Shan?"

……

Master Xiao's words scared the manager a little.

He subconsciously thought that Master Xiao was talking to him.

after all
There are only two of them here.
