Two years later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Starbucks Cafe on No. 1 Street. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The setting sun lights the sky, Karin puts on her working clothes, and begins to work with great energy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It has been three years since she has come to Zurich, and the consumption here is so high that she has to rely on part-time work to support her most basic expenses. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This cafe is introduced by a friend. She is doing cashiering work. For economics students, it can’t be easier. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just after seven o’clock, it is the busiest time in the cafe. Seven or eight people are waiting in line for coffee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“A cup of Blue Mountains and a cup of sugar-free black coffee.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The old man opposite says to her in English, she nods, and answers with a smile: “Okay, please wait.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Half of the people who come here for coffee are British men. This is what she most pleased with, because it can relieve the loneliness of being a foreigner in a foreign country. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“A total of 12 pounds.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She looks at the rear of the team casually, and suddenly, a handsome figure catches her attention. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Please change.” The old man hands her a 15 pounds. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hr eyes follow the figure and walk out of the cafe. She completely ignores the work in front of her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Miss, I’m in a hurry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The old man reminds her and she looks back and says sorry, “I’m sorry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The flashing back is strange and familiar sometime. She seems to have seen somewhere. She is so mad that she is so absent-minded in her work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The sense of familiarity is becoming more and more intense. She suddenly thinks of a person and chases after him, attracting customers who line up for coffee… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Karin, what are you doing ?!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lina, the foreman of the cafe, holds her, and points to the cashier: “Do you know what you are doing!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Lina, please help me with it. I have an urgent matter and come back immediately.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, she rushes out and stands by the bustling road. The large and small vehicles keep flowing in front of her, but the figure is like a gust of wind in her memory, without a trace… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Is it an illusion? Why does she have such an illusion today after two years? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She goes back to the cash register, adjusts the status, and smiles to each customer again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she is about to leave work, Lina comes to her and asks meaningfully: “Honestly explain why you ran out tonight?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She lowers her head awkwardly, “Nothing. I saw someone who looks like a friend of mine.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Troy Charlie, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Looking up in shock, Karin gives her a surprised look, “Lina, do you know him?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How could I know him, but I am just used to seeing the waitresses here who adore him. You are not the first person become out of control when seeing him, so rest assured, I won’t tell the boss, just…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lina deliberately pauses, teasing teasingly, “The next time when you see a beautiful man, you need be calm.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You misunderstood me, actually…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Karin is trying to explain what happened two years ago, but stopped by Lina: “Fine, don’t explain, I understand.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, she leans over her ear and says half-jokingly and half-seriously, “One advice for you, don’t have any illusions about him, he isn’t interested in girls.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
