Chapter 596 Accompany
"Oh, it's almost twelve o'clock!"
Xiao Wan's eyes suddenly fell on the clock hanging behind the front desk for some reason.
Xia Yan followed her to look.
"Are you tired?" Xiong Xiong looked back and asked her, "Why don't you go and rest first?"
Zhi Kang carefully observed her face and said, "If you are tired, go up first. We are here to accompany the boss."
Xiao Wan's mouth corners slightly raised, and the water flow around her slowed down a lot.
She looked at Xia Yan with her eyelids half open, and her voice was still warm.
"Boss, I want to go up first. I'm very happy to have them accompany you."
"..."
Xia Yan threw away the choking sweet potato and gulped down a large glass of water until her stomach fell heavily.
She wiped the water drops on her lips and looked at Xiao Wan seriously.
"Since I have you, I am also very happy."
Xiao Wan grinned, her eyes narrowed into beautiful crescents.
She stood up slowly, "I know, boss. I'll go upstairs."
"...Okay."
Xia Yan watched Xiao Wan disappear at the stairs.
She kept her ears perked up, listening carefully.
But the sound became smaller and smaller, and in the end she could not hear anything.
The laughter of Xiong Xiong and Zhi Kang echoed in the narrow hall again.
And the sound of the wind outside.
...
The wind that had been blowing all night finally stopped.
Even if it could not affect Xia Yan in the courtyard at all.
She stood at the stairs and wandered back and forth, looking up several times.
Xiong Xiong held his cheek, and his black eyes moved back and forth with her movements.
After a while, footsteps came downstairs.
Xiong Xiong saw that the boss's eyes lit up.
But it was Zhi Kang who came down. When did the boss like him so much...Xiong Xiong pouted.
But soon it saw that the boss had returned to normal, and this time it smiled.
"Boss." Zhi Kang said.
Xia Yan hummed, made way for the aisle, and walked a few steps away, still glancing at the stairs.
After a while, she picked up the mop that Xiong Xiong had put on the wall after cleaning, and said:
"I'm going to digest my food."
Zhikang and Xiong Xiong were puzzled.
"You didn't clean today?"
"How is that possible? You can say I'm ugly, but you can never say I'm not diligent!"
"So why did the boss go upstairs with the mop?"
"I don't know," Xiong Xiong rolled his eyes and said sinisterly, "Maybe the boss went upstairs to check your hygiene and then criticize you~"
Zhikang shuddered and stared at it, "There are only two of us employees in the store, and you still want to intrigue?"
"Tsk~ Xiong Xiong is not a human, he won't buy into your human tricks~"
When the two were arguing, Xia Yan came down the stairs, and they immediately fell silent and followed with their eyes.
She looked down at the ground, as if there was gold hidden in the white tiles, and she looked so seriously.
She stepped out of the hall, took out the rocking chair, and lay on it to bask in the sun.
"You two come out to accompany me."
The boss's voice seemed to have not changed, just like usual.
Xiongxiong and Zhikang exchanged glances and walked out one after the other.
Lying on the left and right sides of Xia Yan.
The sky was as blue as a mirror after a night of wind. If you ignore that they are in the center of an abandoned city, the scene will be more beautiful.
Xiongxiong finally found a dried mop at the staircase on the fourth floor.
It poked its head into the guest room next to the stairs. The sheets and pillows inside were white and tidy, and the cabinet floor was spotless.
Although there were no guests staying, they had never lowered their hygiene requirements.
So why did the boss come up? Xiongxiong tilted his head, unable to figure it out.
Then it found that the boss was always staring at Zhikang.
It was a look it couldn't read.
"Zhikang," Xia Yan suddenly said, "Do you remember what job you did before?"
Zhikang didn't need to recall, and immediately repeated what he had said several times.
"Then do you remember how you felt when you first came here?"
Xia Yan asked a question that he had never mentioned before.
Zhikang's expression was visibly stunned.
"How did you feel when you came here?"
"Yeah."
"..."
Zhikang frowned and thought for a long time, as if Xia Yan asked a difficult question.
Xia Yan didn't interrupt and waited patiently.
After a while, Zhikang said slowly: "I have always felt that, for me personally, working doesn't require any feelings."
This time it was Xia Yan's turn to be stunned.
How could she forget that this guy was also a tasker, but this time he was punished, and his essence would not change.
He was upset and wasted precious feelings.
Seeing that Zhikang was about to say something, Xia Yan raised her hand to interrupt, "Zhikang, are you tired now? Why don't you go upstairs and rest."
As if everyone was not a tasker~
Xia Yan did not have any emotional fluctuations when Zhikang left.
Maybe the next time we meet again is next time.
There is another possibility, that is, there is no possibility.
Well, why waste feelings.
Xia Yan took Xiongxiong's paw and went upstairs to check the floors.
Sure enough, there are only three floors.
The second floor is a restaurant that has been reduced by half, and the third floor is a double room.
Oh, it's almost the same as the previous structure.
When sitting on the second floor to eat, looking at the honest and cute Xiongxiong opposite, Xia Yan was suddenly disturbed by new negative emotions.
If you want to say that among these employees, the first one in her heart is Xiongxiong.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Xia Yan took a bite of the sugar triangle and said in a hurry: "It's okay."
After dinner, the two of them still lay in the sun within one meter of the safe zone.
Enjoy the last peaceful time, Xia Yan thought.
"You two, open a store here?"
A half-hesitant and half-questioning voice sounded not far from them.
Xia Yan opened her eyes.
Five meters away from her, she saw five people in different clothes standing, all with the same badge on their arms.
Wearing masks on their faces, her eyes were alert.
"Yes." Xia Yan lay back lazily. Now is not the past. She has completely lost the enthusiasm to entertain customers.
"There is no living person here. The store is opened here... It's really weird."
"Why don't we just not go in first, mark it, and wait later..."
"Where the boss opens the store has nothing to do with us. Remember, our goal is to find survivors, and the others are not within our jurisdiction."
The five people walked away while talking.
Xiong Xiong turned his head to say something to Xia Yan, but found that the boss had fallen asleep.
"But I think they will come back again."
Xiong Xiong felt that the look in their eyes when they left said it all.
The boss didn't care at all, and continued to eat and drink, hot pot, barbecue, fried chicken, snail noodles, changing the way they eat every day.
The overbearing aroma drifted far away, successfully arousing the appetite of several people hiding in the dark.
"TNND, what a heavenly life."
"It smells so good, since leaving the base, I've been eating potato cakes every day, and I'm almost a dried potato!"
"Captain, this seems to be fine, it should be an ordinary store! Let's hurry up and find survivors."
If they stay here any longer, they will rush out uncontrollably!
"How about this..."
