On the second day, Gu Yi arrived at the store at nine o’clock.
Last night, Gu Yi and Li Yitian discussed that there are not many people here in the morning.
So the opening ti of the store was set to nine o’clock, just like the first store, but Xiao Yang and the others start work at eight thirty and work until eight thirty in the evening.
Xiao Yang and the others co at eight thirty and have to clean the store first.
Then they check if there are any clothes to be arranged, in short, they prepare for opening the store.
So when Gu Yi arrived, Xiao Yang and the others had already cleaned up and were ready to open for business.
Li Yitian went to the first store in the morning and only ca to Gu Yi’s in the afternoon.
Today was just like yesterday, busy in the afternoon.
By the third day, perhaps because it was a Monday.
There were only a few transactions on Gu Yi’s side.
Gu Yi was not anxious, since she was going to start school on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, she didn’t go to the store.
She first went to the bank to withdraw her tuition fee.
The next day she took her docunts and went to the school.
While waiting to register, she t Wang Yuan.
"Sister Yi Yi, why haven’t you co to find ? Did you just get back?"
Wang Yuan also ca alone to register.
"I ca back the day before yesterday, there were so things at ho, so I didn’t co to find you, did you have fun outside?"
Gu Yi had been busy with store matters since returning and had no ti to find her, so she quickly changed the topic.
"I had a great ti, went to the seaside, played with water, ate all kinds of seafood, look, haven’t I got a tan?"
Wang Yuan said as she leaned her face toward Gu Yi.
"A little, but overall it looks fine."
Gu Yi carefully examined Wang Yuan’s face.
"That’s the recovery from the ti I got back. I was really dark when I first returned, but even if I got tanned, I still want to play by the seaside, it was so much fun."
Wang Yuan spoke about her trip with longing again.
Just then it was their turn to register.
"Are you staying on campus?"
The registration teacher asked Gu Yi.
"No."
"Then just hand over your tuition fee directly."
The registration teacher imdiately issued a receipt, and after Gu Yi gave him the money, he handed the receipt to her.
Wang Yuan followed the sa procedure as Gu Yi.
"Sister Yi Yi, let’s go to the food street for lunch together, and afterward we’ll go to my house, I’ll give you what I brought for you, you’ll need it soon."
Since they were both not staying on campus, there was nothing much to do after registration, just wait to et in the classroom in the evening.
So Wang Yuan suggested to Gu Yi.
"Sure, I’m good with anything, but aren’t you going ho to eat?"
Wang Yuan usually went ho to eat because her parents would have als ready.
"My parents aren’t ho, so I get whatever I want, Sister Yi Yi, will you keep company?"
Wang Yuan shook Gu Yi’s arm.
"Alright, so what do you want to eat?"
Gu Yi didn’t mind anything.
"I want sothing spicy. I heard there’s a Sichuan restaurant opened on the food street, let’s eat there."
Talking about it, the two headed to the Sichuan restaurant.
The restaurant was doing good business and was full.
"Why are there so many people?"
Wang Yuan was a bit annoyed.
"It’s okay, let’s wait a bit. Are you hungry now? If you are, we could buy so snacks and eat while we wait."
Gu Yi assud Wang Yuan was hungry and tried to comfort her.
"Sister Yi Yi, it’s fine, I’m not hungry, I just hate waiting. Okay, we might as well wait, those two tables look like they’re almost done."
Wang Yuan didn’t want to leave, hearing that many people said the food here was good, she wanted to try it, and with Gu Yi for company, she decided to wait for a while.
The staff in the store were quite smart. Seeing Gu Yi and Wang Yuan waiting, they brought out a long bench for them to sit on.
"Excuse , can we order our food first? Once we have a table, can you serve us then?"
Gu Yi thought about it and decided to ask the staff. This way, they could eat quickly without waiting long when a table opened up.
"That’s possible, but the food might get cold."
The staff was a bit hesitant.
"That’s okay, we won’t bla you if it’s cold. Those two tables should be done soon, we shouldn’t have to wait too long."
Gu Yi assured the staff and pointed to the two tables almost finished eating.
"Alright, then please check what dishes you want from the wall."
The staff saw the two tables were almost done and agreed.
Wang Yuan ordered a dish of boiled beef slices, and Gu Yi ordered a dish of mapo tofu and also a soup.
Since it was just the two of them eating, they didn’t order much.
After ordering, Gu Yi pulled Wang Yuan to sit down and wait.
Originally Wang Yuan wasn’t that hungry, but the aroma of the dishes in the restaurant made her start to salivate.
Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait long before a table finished eating.
Once Gu Yi and Wang Yuan sat at the table, their food was served.
"Sister Yi Yi, the more I hang out with you, the more amazing I find you. You’re beautiful, and you’re quick-witted."
Finally able to eat good food and not just sll it outside, Wang Yuan was overjoyed.
"How did you get such an idea?"
Gu Yi was curious.
"Like just now, in normal thinking, we would wait for a seat first, then start ordering, not do it like you did. Thanks to your quick thinking, we got to eat such good food quickly, I was starving slling it outside."
Wang Yuan grabbed a slice of the boiled at and talked as she ate.
"It’s from frequently encountering similar situations, you naturally think of a way."
Gu Yi smiled as she explained.
"Sister Yi Yi, do you often encounter such things?"
"I used to run a snack shop in a county town in R City, and it got really busy during al tis. Many tis, the seats would be full, so people who didn’t have a seat but wanted dumplings would order first, and then when a seat beca available, they could eat right away."
"You used to run a snack shop? What about the shop now, and why did you move to B City?"
Wang Yuan beca increasingly curious about Gu Yi.
"It’s closed now. I ca here because my spouse is here."
Wang Yuan almost spit out her food when she heard that.
"Sister Yi Yi, you got married?"
She had never asked about Gu Yi’s personal life before. Gu Yi was only 20 years old, which was considered young in B City. How co she got married so early?
"Yes, I’ve been married for two years now."
Gu Yi didn’t react much.
"So you got married at 18? Why so early?"
Wang Yuan was 18 this year, and she still considered herself a child, not knowing enough to get married yet.
"Once I found the right person, I wanted to get married right away."
Gu Yi spoke half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Throughout the al, Wang Yuan kept asking Gu Yi questions about marriage.
Wang Yuan concluded that she wanted to have her fill of fun before getting married; she didn’t want to be tied down to another person and family at such a young age.
Gu Yi listened to Wang Yuan’s conclusion, feeling a bit speechless. Her own happy marriage had turned into a negative example in Wang Yuan’s eyes.
