I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

The "beep, beep" sound of scanning the code was crisp and smooth. Her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail with a black rubber band. It was a look that Lu Chen had never seen before.

"Thank you for your patronage, please walk slowly."

After confirming receipt of the payment, she bowed slightly to the customer and added a thank you note that surprised the latter.

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Two seconds later, the customer nodded repeatedly, flattered, and then left reluctantly.

Judging from the fact that he kept looking back after walking out of the store, Xia Yunian had undoubtedly helped this 711 to win over another loyal customer.

"Ding~"

The cell phone in his work clothes pocket rang. Xia Yunian looked at the other customers who were still selecting goods and silently took out his cell phone.

Although convenience stores have regulations that prohibit playing with mobile phones while working, seniors have also said that it is okay to handle some calls and messages normally.

More importantly, for Xia Yunian, there was only one possibility when the phone rang -

It was Lu Chen who contacted him.

So it is a must-see.

"..."

After accurately entering Lu Chen's lunar birthday to unlock the app, there was only a lonely avatar and a new message on WeChat.

Lu Chen: [Where have you been? Why aren't you home? ]

Xia Yunian: [Working in a convenience store.]

Lu Chen: [Then wait, I’ll come find you now.]

Xia Yunian: [Okay.]

After replying with an "OK", Xia Yunian waited silently for a while. Seeing that Lu Chen had not sent any more messages, she put away her phone and tidied up the cash register.

The bright sunshine shone on the sidewalk outside the convenience store. Students wearing the school uniform of No. 5 Middle School walked by in groups of three or five, and laughter and car horns could be heard one after another.

"You said you'd treat me! I want a Gatorade!"

"I drink Pulse!"

"I'll just have a bottle of Coke, how about that, Daddy treats you well!"

"roll roll roll!"

The store door opened, and three or four boys walked into the store arm in arm, a tangible sense of energy overwhelmed the audience.

They walked straight to the drinks cabinet and chose drinks while chatting and laughing.

Xia Yunian was standing behind the cashier counter a few steps away from them, his expression as calm as ever.

They are obviously of similar age, and Xia Yunian even looks several years younger than these boys, but they are experiencing completely different lives at this moment.

It’s hard to say whether Xia Yunian envied them or thought of his own time in high school.

But even if she had, she could never go back to those days.

How does the saying go?

Happy families are all alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

If we replace "family" with "life", this statement would probably also be true.

Just like Xia Yunian and Qin Wanqing.

Both of them are unfortunate, and each has his own misfortune.

But in comparison, Qin Wanqing seems to be a little more "luckier".

Because she still has the possibility of returning to normal life.

But Xia Yunian may never go back.

After all, the dead cannot be resurrected. Even if you forget, there will always be a big empty space in your heart. This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter how you deceive yourself.

"Well, let's pay the bill..."

A slightly hesitant voice suddenly sounded, bringing Xia Yunian back to reality.

Looking at the boys in front of her with puzzled expressions, she quickly raised the barcode scanner, scanned the barcodes of the drinks one by one, and reported the total price.

"Fifteen dollars and fifty cents."

"Okay...sweep it over."

The boy who treated the guests took out his mobile phone to scan the code, and then distributed the drinks to his friends.

Several people didn't pay attention to Xia Yunian's distraction just now, and soon walked out of the convenience store chatting and laughing, apparently talking about this year's NBA playoffs.

"I said it! The Celtics will definitely be the champions this year!"

"Come on, Kaizi can't rotate, it must be the Mavericks!"

"The Qing Dynasty has fallen, but what the hell is the Mavericks..."

"..."

People were coming and going on the sidewalk. The boys were talking loudly, discussing something that Xia Yunian didn't understand, and he didn't hear the latter's last gentle words of thanks.

Chapter 211: Studying philosophy too much will make you depressed

At twelve o'clock noon, Xia Yunian took out the most common "tuna salad sauce" rice ball from the air curtain cabinet, scanned it with a barcode scanner, and put it in the microwave to heat it up.

Under normal circumstances, larger convenience store chains will have at least two employees in the store at the same time.

This way, if one of them needs to go to the bathroom or something, there will be someone in the store.

You can also take turns eating at mealtime.

However, this 711 is relatively small, and the manager probably felt it was a waste to have two clerks there, so there is basically only one clerk at any given time.

To eat, either wait until after the shift change or just have some simple convenience foods.

In short, don't delay work.

"Buzz~"

The microwave was running quietly and there were no customers in the store.

Xia Yunian tapped a few times on the cash register, then took out his cell phone to pay for his lunch.

The original price of the rice ball is 4 yuan, but because it is a near-expiry product and there is an employee discount, you only need to pay yuan.

This was not too much pressure for Xiao Xia, who still owed Lu Chen 4,000 yuan.

She now earns 100 yuan a day from her part-time job, and has almost no expenses. She can pay the money back to Lu Chen in two months at most.

Or maybe go out on another "field mission".

The last time they bought lottery tickets, the two of them made a total of 54,000 yuan, and she got 5,400 yuan.

It’s equivalent to her income for one and a half months.

It’s unclear whether it’s legal or not, but it’s certainly a way to get rich quick.

But strangely, Lu Chen has not mentioned this matter again in the past two weeks.

Maybe you are still worried about the password...

"Ding~"

There was a crisp sound behind me, the microwave had completed its work.

Xia Yunian took out the rice ball, carefully opened the packaging using a piece of tissue, and was about to bite off the tip of the rice ball.

As luck would have it, Lu Chen just happened to push open the door and walk in at this moment.

"Huh? Eating during work hours?"

"I didn't steal it. This is my lunch."

"Okay...get me something to eat too. I haven't eaten yet."

"What do you want to eat?"

"It's all right."

"Oh......"

......

five minutes later.

At the cashier counter, accompanied by another crisp sound, Xia Yunian took a black pepper chicken and rice lunch box out of the microwave.

Half black pepper chicken strips, half carrots and corn kernels, and half a braised egg.

It is the most expensive bento in the store, with a discounted price of 10.8 yuan.

"Aren't you on the night shift?"

After opening the lunch box, Lu Chen didn't choose a place, but leaned against the cashier counter and asked while eating: "Why are you here during the day?"

"I'm covering for a colleague."

Xia Yunian picked up her now cold rice ball and took a small bite.

"Isn't he being bullied by a colleague or something like that?"

"No, everyone is very nice to me."

"That's fine."

Lu Chen nodded indifferently and glanced at the rice ball: "So this is what you eat for lunch?"

"Ah."

Xia Yunian calmly explained: "The portion is just right, and it's very cheap."

"It feels like it's not very nutritious... Never mind, I have something to tell you."

Lu Chen didn't waste time on such trivial matters. He took a big bite of the boiled egg and muttered vaguely:

"Didn't I tell you before that I was looking up a password? Now I've encountered something very strange."
