"it is good."

I walked towards the kitchen. "Sorry, just wait a few minutes."

When I came to the kitchen, I went straight to the Coke machine at the door, made three cups of Coke, then took a spoonful of ice cubes from the refrigerator and added them in, and then covered the lid.

When I returned to the dining area, I saw that Xiong Xiong had already started chatting with Bingling Duck.

"I haven't been to Kamihama City for a while. It seems to be a lot more lively here, and the port is more prosperous."

"Well, Mr. Xiongxiong, can you tell me...what exactly do you do?"

"Yes, Boss Xiong, I have seen you in many people's eyes. They all said that you are at least the son of a duke abroad, traveling around the world every day. Is that true?"

"Me? My name is very long, and it's hard to pronounce when translated into Chinese. You may not be able to remember it, so you can just call me Xiongxiong, or Ah Xiong, Kuma, or Bear."

"Ahhhh, I don't want to live anymore. I was having so much fun in the group, and I thought everyone in the world was just an ordinary trash college student like me. But it turns out that Kirito and Maple are both beautiful girls, Duck has his own supermarket, and Kuma is such a big shot... I'm the only loser."

I walked over with a tray containing three cups of Coke: "Excuse me, these are free cups of Coke."

Xiongxiong took off his gloves first, revealing his fair little hands, and took the Coke: "Thank you!"

Only then did I have time to look at the girl.

The features of her face are a mix of Chinese and Western, and with her blonde hair and blue eyes, she looks like... Alice in the foreign fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland".

She looks to be around 17, no more than 20 years old. She is a tall girl, about 1 meters tall. Her voice is childish and her accent is not heavy, but you can vaguely tell that her native language is not Chinese.

My readership... is truly full of hidden talents.

No, I don’t think so.

After Xiongxiong took the Coke, I placed the remaining two in front of Bingling and Physics Duck respectively: "Have you two decided what to eat?"

Just like the planes that were able to fly back in the war were not those with bullets in the engines, it seems that the so-called "survivor bias" also exists in offline gatherings of readers.

Maybe there are big guys like Xiong Xiong and Su Yunjin lurking everywhere around us, but because they are usually low-key and seldom discuss their background and work, we can hardly find them.

Xiong Xiong has joined my book club and other authors' book clubs. It's obvious that she is a person who likes to read books and novels. Maybe when she travels around the world on a private jet every day, she gets bored on the road and opens her mobile phone to read novels or simply plugs in headphones to listen to books.

If a person like this doesn't say anything herself, we don't know what she actually does.

However, this time I am different from other book clubs in that I was turned into a cute little loli by Miss Death, and then became a maid in a coffee shop. Ouyang Xue edited a video and promoted it online, and the coffee shop became popular. It happened that Bing Ling and others in the group saw and learned that there was such a coffee shop in Shenbin City, so they discussed to get together offline and come to this newly opened coffee shop to experience it.

As a result, all of this was seen by Xiong Xiong. Maybe others thought the coffee shop was really good, and the group leader and author was a cute little girl, so they came.

In the same way, if Miss Death hadn't turned me into a little loli, I would still be the uncle I used to be, updating the novel step by step every day, and Xiongxiong would definitely not appear in front of me like this.

When I think about it this way, it seems to have a flavor of the "butterfly effect".

"Not yet. Let me think about it. I'm not that hungry..."

It was obvious that Bing Ling and Ya Zi, who were sitting on the chairs, were not used to meeting in real life. The two who usually called each other "sons of bitches" in the voice chat became polite when they met: "How about Ya Zi, would you like some?"

"Me? I can do anything."

Duck was very casual: "Fried chicken, hamburgers, I accept everything. Why don't you ask Xiongxiong what he wants to eat... Ladies first."

"Oh no, please don't use the phrase ladies first, sir."

Xiong Xiong covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, saying in a joking tone: "This is rude to ladies. In our country, everyone is equal."

"Sorry sorry, haha, I'm used to it."

Duck quickly apologized: "Then...how about Nuoer recommend something?"

"If you haven't had lunch, you can take a look at this side."

I turned over the menu in front of the people and said, "These are all stir-fried dishes, many of which are Shenbin delicacies, like this, stir-fried cuttlefish, our chef Wang's specialty, and this dish is also good. If you like soup, you can order this. If you can accept it, this, sandworm porridge, this porridge is very fresh, but many people may not accept the appearance."

"What is this? A bug?"

"Well, sandworms, their appearance is not good, but their nutritional value is good."

I patiently introduced it: "You can think of it as large intestine porridge."

As I was talking, I heard Ouyang Xue's voice coming from the cat-ear headphones above my head: "Nuo'er, come to the door of the store."

"Eh?"

I pulled down the microphone: "Sister Ouyang, what can I do for you? I'm serving customers."

"Let Xia Mo receive us. I think you need to make the decision. I feel a little dizzy and can't see clearly."

"whats the matter?"

Yin Xiamo, who was connected to our channel through the headset, spoke: "Sister Ouyang, why don't you take a rest?"

"It's really nothing, it's just an old problem. Xia Mo, please take over Nuo'er's job. Nuo'er, please come outside the store for a while."

"it is good."

I pulled up the headset and said, "Sorry, I need to go out for something."

As I said that, I pointed in the direction of the cat area: "If you have anything to say, you can talk to Xia Mo directly, or tell me when I come back later."

"Yeah, let's go."

Xiongxiong seemed to have seen through something and took the menu and said, "I'm quite interested in your sandworm porridge. I also ate similar seafood when I went to Solomon before."

Solomon? Solomon Islands?

You really come from a wealthy family!

With this thought in mind, I walked along the corridor of the coffee shop to the main entrance of the hall, opened the door and walked out: "Sister Ouyang, what's wrong?"

Then, I was shocked by the scene before me.

At this time, two excavators and two super large trucks had driven up to the door of the coffee shop. The two trucks were filled with coconut trees that were dozens of meters high.

"what are these?"

I walked towards Ouyang Xue, who was wearing a maid outfit and standing in front of the excavator like a supervisor.

Because of its remote location, there is a large piece of wasteland in front of the Kamijou Coffee House. Except for the area about thirty or forty meters outside the Mushroom House, which has been tidied up and paved with tiles and many stone tables, most of the surrounding areas are still laid out like a tropical rain forest, and the width of the road is only wide enough for two cars to run side by side.

Why did this excavator drive up here? To repair the road?

"The headquarters suddenly said that someone sent us five coconut trees. They seemed to be some kind from the Philippines. They were dug and quarantined on the same day and came directly from customs. Now we are going to see where to plant them."

Ouyang Xue in front of me glanced at me and pointed to the wasteland in front: "Can you help me check where to plant?"

"Coconut trees?"

For some reason, at this moment, Xiong Xiong’s words “I brought you some small gifts” suddenly emerged in my mind.

Turning around, through the glass wall on the first floor of the coffee shop, I saw the bear inside waving his little hands at me.

The little gift you mentioned...is a coconut tree?

"Yes, coconut trees. Once we determine the location, these workers will help plant them and then install the supports. We expect it to be completed by the dinner rush."

Ouyang Xue said, looking somewhat puzzled: "Actually, I find it quite strange. The transportation and quarantine of this thing is a big problem. Customs are very strict now. Not only do we need quarantine to prevent the invasion of alien species and pests attached to the roots, but we also need to obtain permission from many departments. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness is very low. If you want to eat foreign coconuts, you can directly import coconuts. This is the first time I have encountered the operation of transporting coconut trees. Am I not keeping up with the times?"

"Nuo'er, is this a friend of yours or Xia Mo's?"

As she spoke, Ouyang Xue turned around and said, "I can't think of any other possibility."

"Uh...this..."

I hesitated: "Maybe, maybe... it's my friend."

Let alone you, this is the first time I’ve seen someone give an imported coconut tree as a gift when meeting someone.

"Whatever, since others are willing to do so, let's plant them. If they really grow, we can add freshly picked coconuts to our store in the future."

Ouyang Xue didn't seem to want to dwell on this matter: "Come on, Nuo'er, tell me where to plant it."

"Compared to this, Sister Ouyang, are you really okay?"

"It's nothing, it's just a sequelae of a cold. I'm a little nearsighted to begin with, and after I caught a cold and had a fever, I couldn't see clearly. It's an old problem."

Ouyang Xue waved her hand and beckoned me over: "Can you help me figure out where to plant it? Estimate the distance. Don't plant it too close to the main road. Otherwise, if a customer passes by and gets knocked unconscious, we might be held responsible."

I nodded: "Okay."

"..."

……

After I finished dealing with the coconut trees outside, I waited for the workers to start working and made sure there was nothing for me to do before I returned to the coffee shop.

At this time, Tongtong and Maple had returned from the cat living area. The five of them put together a large table, and Yin Xiamo was constantly putting food and drinks on their table.

What made me laugh and cry was that Tongtong, Bingling and Yazi had already connected to the store's Wifi. The three of them took out their mobile phones, opened the cloud computer, ran 300 Heroes, and sat side by side to play the game.

"What's wrong with Eugeo on the opposite side? Who fed him to make him so fat? And that AD is like a conjoined twin. It's too bad."

"You ask me? Who was the one who wanted to choose Baiyi at the beginning? No one could be caught."

"Well, Kirito, could you please turn on the voice changer again? I'm not used to you speaking in a female voice, and I feel embarrassed to scold you."

"Go, go, go, go, son, you want to be roughed up by your dad again, right?"

"This is just right..."

Meanwhile, Tongtong and his friends were playing games together, while Maple and Kuma, two cute girls, seemed to be chatting happily.

"Are there many girls majoring in this field in your school?"

"Yes, there are only three boys in the class. Every time we need to move tables and chairs, we are too embarrassed to watch them do it, so we all move together. Is Ah Xiong also a college student?"

"No, I graduated from college a few years ago, and now I'm running around the world. My dad is chasing me all over the world."

"Eh? Chasing?"

"That old man thought I was not doing my job properly, and he kept encouraging me to go play with the sons of the oilmen. Every day they were either having parties or...ah, little bear, let's go for a ride together...or something like that. Only a fool would like to go for a ride with them. The glider I have at home is more exciting than those broken cars."

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere among these people, I instantly felt like Squidward in "SpongeBob SquarePants": "Happiness is theirs, and I have nothing."

But this group of people seems to be the same as always, without changing at all.

All the time in the group, I, as the "group leader", was usually very busy and had no time to study the routines and strategies of games like 300 Heroes, so I was never able to squeeze into their small circle. As a result, in such a large group of book lovers, I, as the group leader, was an outsider, and the group members all got along very well.

That's pretty good, isn't it?

"Noel, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Yin Xiamo came back with a plate of food and put the plate on the table of these people. Then she came back to me and put her little head close to my ear: "Let me guess... did you miss me?"

"No!"

I subconsciously retorted: "Can you not be so greasy!"

"So Nuoer thinks this is already greasy?"

Yin Xiamo thought thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to let someone taste what real greasy taste is tonight."

"No, no, no, I was wrong."

I sat down on a small chair. "It will be very tiring when there are so many people at dinner time. I guess I will be exhausted when I get home. Please let me have a good rest these few nights..."

"So it means it will be fine after these few nights?"

Yin Xiamo came closer: "If I remember correctly... Nuoer, this is your first time both physically and mentally, right?"

the first time?

Is... is this the first time that I understand?

"How……"

I was a little panicked: "Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

"nothing."

The girl next to him gave a mysterious smile.

"Come to my room after get off work tonight and I'll show you something nice."

"..."
