The Shy Girl

"Forget it, I won't wear a suit."

After looking at himself in the mirror for a long time, Wang Shiyu was still not used to his well-ironed suit, so he changed into his daily clothes.

"I'm just going to gain some experience anyway. Let's just leave it at that."

Wang Shiyu looked at the clock on the wall. There were still more than two hours before the interview, so he decided to have a meal first.

When they arrived at the entrance of the community, Wang Shiyu saw a soup restaurant when he came back yesterday. He wanted to try it out and see if it could be used as a long-term base.

As soon as he entered, Wang Shiyu found a girl about his age sitting at the cashier. Her head was lowered as if she was doing her homework and did not notice him at all. Wang Shiyu didn't disturb her. He looked up at the menu on the wall.

"Hello, please give me a bowl of beef soup rice."

Although Wang Shiyu's voice was very soft, the girl at the cashier was so scared that she trembled. She looked at Wang Shiyu like a frightened rabbit and then lowered her head again.

"Please wait a moment."

With that, the girl ran upstairs with her homework.

The girl's voice was crisp, but her voice was a little soft. However, compared to this, what surprised Wang Shiyu more was the girl's appearance.

Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders. Although her eyes were flustered, they were still clear. Her well-proportioned pretty face and high nose bridge made her look very three-dimensional, so much so that Wang Shiyu was a little surprised.

Eating breakfast was actually a feast for the eyes.

At this moment, two footsteps came from upstairs. After a while, a middle-aged man came down. He should be the owner of the shop, and the girl from earlier was walking behind him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. You want beef soup rice, right?"

Wang Shiyu nodded. Then, the boss asked him to find a seat and he ran to the kitchen to get busy.

Wang Shiyu, who was sitting in his seat, was thinking about some interview techniques, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the cashier. The girl's side profile was indeed amazing.

After praising him in his heart, Wang Shiyu withdrew his thoughts and took out the resume he had prepared. He then focused on preparing for the interview.

Wang Shiyu finished his meal and left after paying the bill in satisfaction. Not long after he left, he heard footsteps behind him.

Sir, you forgot your wallet."

Before Wang Shiyu could turn around, a clear voice revealed the identity of the person.

Wang Shiyu turned around. It was indeed the girl from earlier. She was holding his wallet in her hand. His cheeks were slightly red, perhaps because he had run a few steps.

"Thank you."

Wang Shiyu took the wallet and found that his phone was still at home. He could only smile bitterly and walk back to the neighborhood.

Wang Shiyu went home and took his phone. When he was about to reach the bus stop, he realized that the bus had already arrived. He couldn't help but speed up and rush over. He didn't expect to meet a familiar figure at the door.

。。。

"Dad, I'm going to school." Zhao Meiyan cleaned up the place where the customer had just sat and said to the kitchen,"I have to go to the office to practice this afternoon. I might be back late tonight."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Zhao Meiyan put her homework into her bag, took her keys, and walked to the bus stop.

Once she got on the bus, Zhao Meiyan skillfully took out her bus card and swiped it. However, this time, she received a notification that her balance was insufficient.

Ah, it's over. I forgot to recharge last night.

Zhao Meiyan took out her wallet and found that there were only two ten-thousand yuan notes in it. She bit her lip and turned around to get out of the car. However, she remembered that the first class today was the class teacher's class. She couldn't help but secretly glance at the driver. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath and whispered to the driver,"Uncle, I will definitely swipe twice tomorrow. Can you let me get in the car first today?"

"We don't have such a rule. If you don't want to sit, get off quickly. There are still so many people in the car."

Zhao Meiyan had no choice but to respond. She thought of her strict form teacher and knocked her head in complaint.

Just as Zhao Meiyan turned around and took a step down, a figure appeared in front of her like a wall. The figure was holding the railing of the car door and blocking her way out of the car.

The distance between the two of them instantly closed. His arm was only a few millimeters away from the tip of the girl's nose. The sudden closing of the distance made the girl unable to tell if the heartbeat she heard was his or hers.

"There are two here."

The sudden throbbing came and went quickly. Two crisp beeps sounded. Zhao Meiyan looked at the figure who had just extended two fingers at the driver and realized that it was the customer who had given her a fright this morning.

Zhao Meiyan retracted her gaze and was about to continue walking when a voice came from behind her.

"Aren't you going to get in the car?"

Zhao Meiyan was wondering why he said that there were two people in the car. She turned around and saw that the customer was looking at her. She realized that the other person was her.

"Thank you."

Zhao Meiyan sat in the last empty seat beside him. After tapping her fingers on the phone case several times, she mustered up her courage and thanked him in a low voice.

"It's fine. Didn't you help me this morning?"

After two sentences, there was no more communication between the two of them. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Fortunately, there were many office workers coming up from the next few stations. Their idle chatter diluted the atmosphere a lot.

Zhao Meiyan took out her name tag from her pocket and put it on her school uniform. After tidying up the folds of her school skirt, she stole a glance at the person beside her.

Zhao Meiyan noticed that he had put on his earphones. She couldn't help but purse her lips and snort in her heart. Then, she looked at the station map again.

As they got closer and closer to the bus stop, Zhao Meiyan's eyes wandered between the bell and the crowd in the aisle.

Because of the rush hour, the aisle of the bus was crowded with office workers.

Zhao Meiyan couldn't help but sigh at the thought of having to squeeze through so many people to get off the bus. She looked at the station map and saw that the next stop was an office building. At that time, more than half of the office workers would get off.

Forget it, I'll wait for the next stop. Last time, it took me 15 minutes to get to school. I have to run faster today.

Zhao Meiyan bent down and tied her shoelaces. She held the bag strap in front of her chest with both hands and was ready to start running.

"Ding ~"

The car bell rang beside Zhao Meiyan. She turned around and saw her neighbor who was still pressing the button.

"I'm sorry, can you let me go? I'm getting off at this stop."

"Oh, okay."

Zhao Meiyan only realized that she didn't have to wait for the next stop when they made way for the bus. She immediately followed them.

The figure in front of them was like an icebreaker, squeezing out a passage in the middle of the crowded crowd, just enough for two people to pass through one after another.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Meiyan turned around and looked at the car that was still full. She couldn't help but smile.

He finally didn't have to run to school today.

Zhao Meiyan was happy for a while before she remembered the figure that looked like an icebreaker. However, when she turned around to look, the person was already gone.

Zhao Meiyan's shoulders drooped. She bit her lip and looked around before turning around and walking towards the school.

"Young man, where are you going?"

When Wang Shiyu reported the address of Cube, the driver looked at him in surprise.

"Young man, how many more bus stops do we have to take to reach this place?"

"There's a special situation. Master, you should hurry up. I'm dripping on you from behind."

"Oh, oh, oh, I'll set off immediately."

The driver sped up, and Wang Shiyu, who was sitting in the back seat, looked out the window. He thought of the cute look of the girl beside him looking at the crowd and couldn't help but smile.
