Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

"Just call me Sister Maruzensky~" The fashionable girl, although her outfit had an inexplicable [-]th century feel, smiled and waved, "I'll take you to the exam location, Rudolf asked me to pick you up."

Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at the sports car. Although she didn't understand sports cars, she could only judge it from its appearance.At least this car was a luxury car that I couldn't afford even if I sold my organs. After getting into the passenger seat at a loss, the girl fastened her seat belt with a sense of safety, and then asked. "Sister Maruzensky, why does it sound familiar..."

"Illusion, I'm just a little-known horse racing girl. I have some small achievements, but compared to Rudolph, they are nothing." Maruzhansky replied with a smile, "By the way, I won't do it for a while. Talk."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because I might bite my tongue." Maruzensky smiled and started to change gears, and then with the strong pushing feeling on his back, Dongcheng Kuaiju realized that he might be on a hell special express. "Hey~ New cars are durable~"

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" The screams kept coming, and Dongcheng Kuaiju felt as if its mouth was being slapped by the wind. It was like its body was floating in front and its soul was chasing behind.Is this speed really not excessive?Are there no traffic police in the world of horse racing girls?

Although Maruzensky does like racing, his skills are still very good. At least Dongcheng Kuaiju lost at least half of her soul during this journey and vomited all over the ground when she got off the car, but at least she arrived safely. to the exam site.She raised her head and saw the four characters "University of Tokyo".

...The strong dizziness seemed to be wiped away by a mysterious power. After emptying her stomach, she finally realized that she had truly stepped on the starting line.Although it feels different from the feeling on the field, this game - Dongcheng Kuaiju has entered the gate.

Maruzensky patted the girl on the back and said with a smile. "You adapted quickly. Are you interested in learning to drive with your sister?"

"...No, no! You should go find the guy from Fujiwara Tofu Shop to go racing. He should be very happy. His AE86 is fast." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head quickly, even his previous ambitions were frightened away. "I can't bear it!"

"Hey~ But I think you can eh~ Well, if you can really pass the exam, how about I give you a car in my own name? Anyway, I just got a few new cars in the garage." Maruzensky smiled Then he began to seduce Dongcheng Kuaiju, "If you don't want the car, I can also exchange it for other rewards. Just think of it as my sister's encouragement to you."

Dongcheng Kuaiju really had no interest in driving, but when the opponent pressed forward with two front armors, the girl was still intimidated.This pressure is indeed physically applied to the girl's optic nerve.

"I...I understand."

Chapter 12·Young man! Take care of yourself!

Entering the University of Tokyo, surprisingly, Dongcheng Kuaiju did not feel the oppression and pressure brought by this dream school. Except for the four big characters at the door, this place looked like an ordinary place. Only schools.In her previous life, she had considered studying abroad, but considering the possible financial pressure of studying abroad, she gave up this option.

Her English TOEFL scores and Japanese scores were pretty good at the time. Although she was not at the level she is now with her own translator plug-in, the possibility of getting into Dongda University was not small.But the premise is that she entered the University of Tokyo as an international student. The difficulty of getting into Tokyo University for international students is completely different from that for Japanese students.

When she first chose the Academy of Fine Arts, she did not expect her current situation.Of course, she was completely far away from the earth she was familiar with, but some things seemed to have been retained in this world.She stared at the red door she was about to step into and took a deep breath.

She didn't know if she was on the right path, she just kept moving forward according to her own ideas.Anyway, this is her second life. Even if it is for Dongcheng Kuaiju and the poor girl whose body was taken away from her, she must get the happiness she deserves.

She worked hard to achieve this goal.

"Are you nervous?" Maruzensky asked. She felt that this girl was a little too quiet. Although she occasionally looked at the scenic spots on the street with curious eyes, she rarely said anything.So she took the initiative to break the quiet atmosphere.

"No..." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook his head, "I'm just a little curious about this place."

"Actually, Tereson College is quite good. You can see the cherry blossom trees after entering the door. During the blooming season, the entire college will be filled with pink cherry blossom petals, as if sinking into the cherry blossom-colored ocean. If you see it once, you will be amazed. I will never forget it." Maruzensky said with a smile, "I heard from Rudolf that you have a talent for running. So why did you choose the University of Tokyo? I don't think you did it because of impulse, right? ?”

"Do you have a talent for racing..." The girl was silent for a while, "How many horse girls join Treson College every year?"

"Well, I haven't calculated it carefully. But it should be no less than a hundred...if you include the places, it would be more." Maruzhanski responded, and the number of people she gave did not surprise the girl. In fact, she had almost calculated it, and it should be this amount.

"So, how many of them can become famous?" Dongcheng Kuaiju asked, "It's not that I hate racing, but if we really calculate it, it can truly allow racing girls to achieve self-realization, even after they retire. It is very difficult for ordinary racing girls to have enough food. Although racing girls who can win GII level competitions basically don’t worry too much about eating, considering that even GII is considered With huge rewards, there are actually very few horse racing girls who can actually reach this level.”

"Well... I haven't thought about it that way. After all, for most racing girls, running a race may not be that realistic. For them, this is just a step to realize their dreams." Maruzensky replied Dao, but the girl has already thought about this argument.

"Yes, for most racing girls, even if they cannot become famous during this period, it will become a rare memory. But what about the lives of these racing girls after they retire? They will either marry trainers or other ordinary people. She is a member of the club and becomes a full-time wife. Then she uses the time she participates in the competition to heal her future life. Moreover, she also needs to consider the damage caused by the competition to the body itself, not to mention those racing mothers who have accidents during the competition, even if they are lucky. As a racing girl, the possibility of having no health problems after retirement is very small."

Dongcheng Kuaiju has thought very clearly about the path of a horse racing girl.Maybe it is indeed a path that can be named as a dream.However, there are also many people who fell badly on this road and even quit the competition directly.Even a horse racing girl who successfully completes this journey will leave some hidden wounds on most of her body.

Chasing dreams is indeed a good reason, but Dongcheng Kuaiju has already chased dreams once in his previous life.It's just that she fell so hard that she has lost the right to dream. Under this young shell is the soul of a tired social animal.The only help that the previous life could give me was stronger willpower and the knowledge accumulated in my senior year of high school.

So she chose to change her life by taking the exam instead of betting on an unknown road that she didn't understand at all and might even get hurt.

"It's not that I don't have dreams, I just can't bear the weight of them. Senior Maruzenski, can you understand?" Dongcheng Kuaiju follower Maruzenski stopped, and the emotion in her eyes Maruzenski saw She didn't understand, but she had never seen such a calm look in the eyes of a horse race girl of this age, as if what was contained in them was not a young soul, but a girl who was forced to mature after being tested by life.

"...Then I can only wish you good luck. Dongcheng Kuaiju." Maruzensky was unable to refute the girl's argument for a moment. He used the rhetoric of dreams, but after thinking about it, he could no longer shake the girl's mind.She could only give blessings. Although the girl lacked dreams, she had qualities that made people feel distressed. Those eyes would probably not disappear from her memory for a long time.

"Thank you, Maruzenski-senpai——" Tojo Kuaiju bowed, then turned and walked into the building.Following Maruzensky's guidance, she went straight to a quiet office, where a strong, white-haired old man was sitting at his desk, fiddling with a pipe.After seeing Dongcheng Kuaiju push the door open and come in, he showed a kind smile.

"I learned about your situation from Miss Rudolf. It is indeed very strange. Very few horse racing girls would choose the path of Dongda University-" The professor's words made the girl a little worried, but soon, The professor's demeanor changed. "However, I also think that the University of Tokyo should have some new atmosphere, and Jockey Girl is good. I am very satisfied."

"Professor...Hello." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. "I'm here to take the entrance exam for early enrollment. Where are my test papers?"

"Don't worry, the test paper is on my desk. Don't worry, although I am very optimistic about you, if you do not meet my requirements, even if it is the face that Lu Duo symbolizes, I can directly veto it." Professor He smiled and said, "But in addition to the written test, my requirements also include an interview. And here, the score in the interview is very important, but you don't need to be nervous. I won't ask you until you finish writing the test paper." Some Problems."

"I understand, then how much time do I have to answer?" Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. There was an interview and a written test, and it seemed that there was only one test paper, so every point might be a key point.The pressure is actually no less than ordinary exams.

"I'll give you four 10 minutes. There aren't many test papers, so this time should be enough." The professor looked at his watch and casually decided the time for the exam.Dongcheng Kuaiju also nodded. A small table and chair were specially prepared for her. When the professor placed the test paper in front of her, she quickly lifted it up and scanned the test questions.

There are no similar question types. Did you write the test paper yourself?She judged that after all, he was a professor at the University of Tokyo, so it was normal for him to prepare his own test questions.She specifically found the test papers for the Tokyo University entrance exam in literature in recent years, but it seemed that this time the professor did not intend to follow the teacher's routine of setting questions in the past.

The girl took a deep breath to cool down her emotions.This is her first step in pursuing happiness. If she is afraid here, she won't even be able to win the impression points.After she read all the questions, she immediately decided on the order of answers and then started to answer.

The more difficult questions are temporarily put on hold. First, write down all the questions you are confident about and check them for the first time. Then use the remaining time to answer the more difficult questions.Although this little routine is very common, it is very useful. The girl wrote very fast at the beginning, but then became slower and slower. But even if she was slower, she still completed all the test questions.

The girl put the gel pen aside, checked the test paper again, and then handed the test paper to the professor.

"Actually, there are still 5 minutes left. You can check it again." The professor suggested with a smile, "The questions this time are very tricky. I thought you would definitely check the previous entrance exam papers, so I specially gave them a Although it is a set of test questions that are a bit counter-routine, it is difficult for you, but I think since you want to jump directly from the dragon's gate, you naturally need to increase the difficulty."

"It doesn't matter, I've checked it four times. If there are still mistakes, there is nothing we can do." Dongcheng Kuaiju replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. "Although I don't like gambling, I also hate half-hearted actions. So, this is my best effort. Please excuse me."

"As a junior high school student, your mentality is indeed quite good. I feel like I am talking to a young man in his 20s." The professor took the test paper with a smile. He was not in a hurry to mark it, but He sat back down first.Looking directly at Dongcheng Kuaiju, he asked. "So is it okay for the interview to start now?"

"...Weren't you conducting interviews since I just stepped here?" The girl smiled bitterly, "Have you already given most of the interview results?"

"Haha, I think you've almost felt it." The professor didn't continue to pretend, "I like you very much. Are there many girls like you now? You are obviously just a junior high school student, but you are so sophisticated that you It’s the same as young people who have been in society for a few years.”

"I should be considered a special case. After all, I can only rely on myself." The girl replied seriously, "My file professor should have read it."

"Yes, but I won't give you any extra points because of your tragic experience. After all, you are not the only poor person in the world. I am not so easily affected by your past." The professor said with a smile, "Okay. Okay, let’s get to the point, the first question. Why did you choose the University of Tokyo?”

"...I think this question is a bit strange, because the University of Tokyo is currently the best university in the country. I set my goal to attend the University of Tokyo for a very simple reason - just because the resources here are the best." Dongcheng Kuaiju She didn't do anything superficial. She had decided from the beginning to tell the truth, except when it came to time travel.Otherwise she wouldn't be faking her attitude. "Of course, I can also say that it is because of the excellence of the University of Tokyo itself, but I don't think I need to add to such praise."

"Well - indeed, then the next question." The professor smiled and nodded, "Then why did you give up going to Central Teresin College?"

"Because I'm not very confident in my running skills, in my opinion, maybe studying at the University of Tokyo is more suitable for me." Dongcheng Kuaiju shrugged, "Of course, if I don't get admitted here, I have to follow the bet. About to join Teresin College.”

"So are you going to decide your future in this way?" The professor's expression became serious. "What's your answer?"

"How is it possible... In Tereson College, I will try to continue taking the exams for the University of Tokyo." The girl shook her head, "No one stipulates that you can't study hard in Tereson College, right? Not even once, I can challenge the second time anyway. If it doesn’t work the second time, maybe I will choose Waseda - of course, Waseda’s tuition is more expensive..."

"Okay, it seems I think I know you well enough." The professor nodded thoughtfully, "Then I have one last question. If the University of Tokyo needs you to carry out some activities that are beneficial to the school's publicity, Will you agree to participate?”

"...?" Dongcheng Kuaiju was stunned, and for a moment he wasn't even sure what test was hidden in the other person's words.Participate in school promotion?What does this have to do with yourself?But she didn't think about it for too long, "If it's a requirement of the school, as a student I will cooperate as much as possible."

"That's good - you can go back first, wait a few days, and I will inform you of the results via email." The professor smiled. For some reason, Dongcheng Kuaiju felt a chill behind him, as if he was being targeted. , this feeling of being calculated made the professor's smile look as scary as some kind of owl.

"...Okay, then I'll leave first." Dongcheng Kuaiju left the office respectfully, and then recalled the last question with a puzzled look on his face. If he could join Dongda, participating in several promotional activities wouldn't be a big deal. ?Is this something that needs to be asked separately?

The puzzled girl shook her head and left the building.

The professor in the office took out a recording pen from under his desk with a smile, his folds spread out like an old fox.

"It is indeed very mature, and the level is not bad, but - a little bit less thoughtful. He is young."

Chapter 13·Dongcheng Kuaiju is a good boy

"Xiao Bei, don't you think Xiao Dongcheng has been acting weird since he came back from Dongda University?" Satomi supported his chin and looked at the desk sitting at the desk, even though there was no test paper, his fingers were holding a pen in the air. The girl who had something written on it said worriedly. "Isn't it because you met some weird person during the exam?"

"Probably not - it's probably just the sequelae of the exam." Beibu Xuanju looked at the dull-looking Dongcheng Kuaiju and said firmly. "After all, with the intensity of study before, it's normal to have some side effects now, right? If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try?"

"Little East City——"

"Dong? Has the admission notice from Dong University arrived?" The moment he heard the word "Dong", Dongcheng Kuaiju was furious. He suddenly turned around and looked at Satomi Gwangzuan, which even startled the two little ones. "Let me see! Did you fail the exam? No... it's normal to fail the exam..."

"Xiao Dongcheng, you just finished the exam yesterday, how could you do it so fast..." Bei Xuanju sighed, "Take your time, it'll be fine."

"...Yes...Yes." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded somewhat dazedly, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

"I have a hunch that Xiao Dongcheng should still be able to get into Dongcheng University, but she probably won't go in according to her ideas." Satomi Hikari stepped forward and tried to shake Dongcheng Kuaiju's soul back in the examination room. , Bei Xuanju on the side had already begun to complain. "But this is not the solution. Why don't you just change your mood first?"

"Xiao Bei, what you said makes sense..." Satomi Guangzuan looked at Dongcheng Kuaiju and it didn't look like he could return to his soul in a short time. However, after thinking about it carefully, she didn't expect Dongcheng Kuaiju. What are your hobbies and interests besides studying?So she whispered in the ear of Dongcheng Kuaiju who was in a state of confusion.

"Xiao Dongcheng, what are your usual interests?"

"Over-the-knee socks, absolute territory, armed JK."

"?"

"Ah? Didn't you say I like tagging?" Dongcheng Kuaiju woke up from a dream. When she heard about her interest, the first thing she thought of was tagging her illustrations on the p site.After all, if you want to attract people to see your paintings, you must work hard on tags. Some people who are particularly good at adding tags are even called tag immortals. "Hobby...hobby...animation or games, maybe."

"Oh...that one just scared me, TAG or something, Xiaodongcheng, what do you usually watch..." Satomi Miguang patted his chest, "We all like games and animations at our age, right? It's nothing. of."

"Anyway, just think of what I said before as nonsense..." Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't know how to explain to outsiders the thoughts he spent on the P station TAG.I can only follow what Mitsumi Satomi said, but there are many works in this world that are very different from my own world.However, there is still no difference between some legendary masterpieces——

For example, in every world there are O-Mans, fake O-Knights and the like.She also made a special investigation and found that most of the famous works in her own world have similar works in the world of horse girls, such as EOA, Suzumiya Haruhi's Autism, etc.Although the life of the original Dongcheng Kuaiju was really just two points and one line, except for self-training, he just slept in the dormitory.Too pure to be modern.

...Wait a minute... Come to think of it, this kid doesn't even play with a cell phone.The girl thought a little speechlessly. Because she had been preparing for the Tokyo University exam, she completely forgot that there was such a thing as a mobile phone in the world.Now she took her cell phone out of her pocket. It was still a flip phone with a very contemporary feel...

"Xiao Dongcheng's interests are similar to Xiao Bei's..." Satomi Mitsumi is probably the only one here who doesn't know much about animation. If she just talks about games, she does know a little bit. Due to family reasons, her family has always It has a game console.And she has also played many famous games, such as Sonic the Dark and so on, but her biggest impression on animation... is probably the legendary masterpiece like Pretty Cure. "Then in order to celebrate Xiaodongcheng's successful completion of the exam, why don't you just come to my house to play?"

"...Hey, Xiaozuan's house...it's not just SE..."

"Ok?"

"I think Sonic is pretty good." Bei Xuanju immediately changed his mind and said, "So O, I don't know about hell or anything."

"Would you like to go play at Satomi's house? Well...it doesn't matter. There's no point in waiting all the time. Why not relax first." Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't have any objections. It would be better to say that she really needed something to divert her attention now.Otherwise she would be overwhelmed by anxiety.

But before the three of them set off, Dongcheng Kuaiju saw a lot of unread text messages on his phone. After clicking on them, he started to break out in a cold sweat.

——Why didn’t you come to work?

——Today too?Those who don't ask for leave will have their wages deducted.

——Little East City?Nothing happened to you?

——The boss said that if you don’t come back, he will recruit new people? !

——Little East City! !Text me back!

——…

The entire three pages of unread text messages plunged Dongcheng Kuaiju, a social member of the Li faction, into deep fear, Dongcheng Kuaiju!You are a junior high school student!You’re not old enough to work yet!What kind of boss would recruit child labor?What's even more frightening is that Dongcheng Kuaiju realized something that might be a bit scary - he was about to be fired.

"Um... Satomi-san, Beibu-san, I might have something to do -" Dongcheng Kuaiju immediately apologized to the two of them, then turned around and ran away. "Some things must be dealt with first! Let's talk about going to meet my classmates at home later!"

"Eh!?" Satomi Kozuan wanted to hold Dongcheng Kuaiju, but her hurried figure disappeared directly into the corridor like a gust of wind. She had never seen Dongcheng Kuaiju look so panicked.He could only look at each other with Bei Xuanju beside him and let out a sigh.

-

"I'm so sorry!!!!!!" By looking through the previous text messages, the girl also found her place of work. Fortunately, Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't have the habit of clearing text messages regularly. She even found the text message about her employment, which included the place of work. the address of.The girl rushed to her place of work as fast as she could in her life, then opened the door and apologized directly——

"Ah..." Then Dongcheng Kuaiju raised his head and saw a black and white portrait of himself hanging in the center, and even several fruit plates. Was this posture preparing to send him away?And her sudden appearance also attracted the lady who originally seemed to be praying to Buddha with her hands clasped together, "Xiao Dongcheng, are you not dead?"

"Why did I die...Miss Ten O'clock!" Dongcheng Kuaiju complained angrily, "Don't just talk about me dying!"

"After all, you haven't come to work for nearly two weeks, so I thought you finally starved to death somewhere. I thought that even if I couldn't find the body, I would enshrine you..." It was called ten o'clock. The adult woman is much bigger than the girl, she said with a smile. "As long as everything is fine, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to anyone else."

Ten O'clock Bar, Dongcheng Kuaiju's working place - is a bar opened by the retired horse racing girl Miss Ten O'clock. Although it is called a bar, it is actually only open to a small group of people. It is a member-only club.It is precisely for this reason that Dongcheng Kuaiju can work here, and the salary level is pretty good.

Although Dongcheng Kuaiju is only a junior high school student...if he is discovered, he will definitely be punished.It's just that because the people who come to this club are basically trustworthy, this kind of thing will not happen.And Miss Ten O'clock didn't intend to let Dongcheng Kuaiju join the company at the beginning. It seemed that it was the result of Dongcheng Kuaiju's own insistence.

In essence, although Dongcheng Kuaiju did put in his own labor, in a sense it was just an excuse for Miss Ten O'clock to help him.

"I'm sorry... something happened before." Dongcheng Kuaiju explained his admission to Dongda University as concisely as possible to Miss Shidian, "I have been studying completely for the past two weeks and can't take care of my part-time job... …That’s why…”

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't make any difference whether Xiaodongcheng comes or not." Ten o'clock waved his hand, "The manpower here is completely sufficient."

"...Although it's true, to be honest, I'm still a little hurt when you say that..." Dongcheng Kuaiju murmured to himself, "Anyway, I'm really sorry about the part-time job."

"Has anything special happened to you in the past two weeks, Xiaodongcheng? If it were you before, you would probably just come over and kneel down silently..." Miss Ten O'clock asked, squinting her eyes. "So, I'm much more talkative than before, and I can even complain."

"So... I made friends." The girl explained, "I began to realize that I might not be able to survive in this society..."

"Well, although I think Xiaodongcheng is just Xiaodongcheng. But it's good that you have figured it out, and you are quite interesting now. Seeing that you can actually muster up the courage to take the exam for Dongda University, I won't do this to you. What kind of punishment? And considering your future situation, is it really okay to continue working here to be honest?" Ten o'clock asked, "If there is no other way, remember to tell me to resign earlier."

"When the time comes..." Dongcheng Kuaiju wiped her sweat, her tone was obviously very gentle, but she always felt that Miss Ten O'clock was a bit scary.Although the fault lies with Dongcheng Kuaiju, after all, the owner of Dongcheng Kuaiju's body has changed now, so for the girl, there may be a relatively obvious gap between the senior who was originally kind to Dongcheng Kuaiju. .

There is nothing we can do about this kind of thing... After all, the girl and Dongcheng Kuaiju are not the same person.Even if he inherited Dongcheng Kuaiju's body and interpersonal relationships, it would never be exactly the same as before.The differences in personality can be easily deceived, but people who are really familiar with Dongcheng Kuaiju can probably spot some of the differences in details.You can only take the initiative to stay away from those people with whom you have a good relationship, otherwise it will only take a matter of seconds to get involved.

If others knew that Dongcheng Kuaiju was not Dongcheng Kuaiju's body, she didn't dare to say what would happen.Obviously others don't need to think about this kind of thing when they travel through time, so why is it so troublesome when it's their turn... Dongcheng Kuaiju sighed quietly.

Although Ten O'clock said that he could resign and leave at any time, Dongcheng Kuaiju had professional ethics, so he put on his work clothes and started his routine work.Dongcheng Kuaiju's workplace is in the kitchen, and that's a bit torturous for someone to work as a waiter.

The work is also very simple. It can basically be summarized as making desserts and using the air fryer to make some fried chicken and the like.Although it is far from the girl's previous job, the girl who has lived alone for a long time still has a pair of hands that can lead an independent life.Coupled with the remaining muscle memory of Dongcheng Kuaiju, the girl's proficiency often surprises me. When I think of something I need in my mind, there will be an inspiration - it should be in this place.

Anyway, it's pretty easy to get past it - probably.

"The extra large parfait is ready-" She clapped the serving bell, and soon someone put the girl's dessert in the serving area and took it away.There is no place that requires interpersonal communication, and you can even do things in complete isolation. It is indeed the most suitable place for you arranged by Miss Ten O'clock.It is probably because of this that the Dongcheng Kuaiju in the past was able to stay here.

A good working environment, a paradise for social fears.It's just that Dongcheng Kuaiju thinks that she won't stay here for too long. On the one hand, she doesn't have time. Whether she goes to Treson College or Dongda University, she will be very busy and can't take care of the work here.On the other hand, she was also worried that she would be exposed if she appeared too much in front of Miss Ten O'Clock.Although I'm very sorry for Miss Ten O'clock, she plans to resign after finishing her work today.

Today's work, in a sense, is just for Dongcheng Kuaiju himself to complete the last shift handover.

What will happen in the future is a matter of the future.Dongcheng Kuaiju will do her best to gain happiness. This is her only goal at the moment.

Time passed quickly, and the club closed around eleven o'clock in the evening. After the girl came out of the kitchen, she took off her apron and saw Miss Ten O'clock coming over with an envelope.Originally she was still thinking about how to speak, but Miss Ten O'clock actually put the envelope in her hand first.
