Argo was riding on the road in the middle of the night, and in the trunk were the supper she had just bought and the shaved ice that Tina requested.

It's just that she didn't remember for a moment that the Xinghua Street Tina mentioned was about eight blocks away from the alley bar.

Moreover, the ice shaving shop is not open 24 hours, and Argo will almost have a rest when he arrives.

Fortunately, I finally bought it, otherwise that guy Tina would definitely do something to trick her again.

Complaining while riding the bike, Argo glanced at the dashboard a little bit, the fuel tank was almost exhausted.

After thinking about it in my mind, there is a gas station about 3 minutes away from here, let's take a detour to refuel.

Thinking of this, Argo turned the car around and drove towards the gas station.

Arriving at the gas station soon, Argo got out of the car and said to the staff.

"Please top up the 98, thank you."

"OK!"

While the gas station staff was refueling the locomotive, Argo stood aside and looked around a lot.

This place is considered to be close to a residential area, so there are no particularly bright shops here except for the gas station at night.

And people go to sleep at night, no one is here at night, giving people a quiet atmosphere.

If you are an extrovert, you will probably find it boring to be on duty here, but for those who like a quiet space, it is a perfect place.

Call ~

Argo shuddered and zipped up his jacket.

It's obviously the late summer, but the temperature at night has begun to drop. Coupled with the fact that it has been raining heavily recently, the cold wind at night is even more chilling.

Looking aside, there is a park next to the gas station. I don't know what happened to the builder at the time, and he actually built the gas station next to the park.

If something happened to cause the gas station to explode, the nearest park would be the first to be affected.

Shaking her head, Argo was about to look away, but suddenly caught sight of a scene out of the corner of her eye, which made her freeze in place.

If you look closely, a girl who looks familiar to her is lying on a bench in the park, curled up as if she is sleeping?

"Guest, the gas is full."

At this moment, the gas station employees also came over. Argo suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned to look at the employees and took out their wallets to pay for the gas.

When the employee was issuing the invoice, Argo looked at the park again. The girl was indeed sleeping on the bench, and in such a cold weather, the other party didn't have any warm items other than the clothes on her body.

"Guest, here is your invoice and money."

Argo took the invoice, and then asked the staff.

"Hey, have you seen that girl over there?"

The employee looked in the direction of Argo's finger, and also saw the girl lying on the bench in the distance.

"Oh, that girl, it's not the first day here."

"Not the first day?"

"Yeah, counting today, it should be the third day. It seems that I had a conflict with my family and ran away from home. I have been wandering around for the past few days."

The gas station employee shrugged helplessly.

"Actually, on the first night, a colleague of ours planned to ask her, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it and politely declined our offer, so we had no choice but to leave her alone."

"Oh~"

Argo nodded, and the employee spoke again.

"But going on like this is not an option. If that girl continues like this, we can only call the police."

After the employee finished speaking, he looked at Argo in doubt.

"By the way, do you know her, my guest?"

"Well, it's considered acquaintance, I'll go talk to her."

......Dividing line.......

After understanding the situation with the staff, Argo led the motorcycle to the park, parked the car by the side of the road, took out the things he just bought from the rear compartment, and walked into the park with a small bag.

Along the road, Argo walked up to the bench and looked at the girl carefully.

The girl was only wearing a black sleeveless top and a small jacket, paired with blue jeans, and an earmuff headphone around her neck. Her shoulder-length short hair was pink and the inner layer was dyed green.

At the same time, Argo also noticed a green triangular hair ornament on the girl's hair.

Argo was even more certain about this. This girl was the customer of the alley bar before. Although he had only been there a few times, Argo still remembered the girl's appearance.

(PS-related plots are briefly described in Chapter 2 of this volume.)

So she reached out and patted, shaking the earphone girl awake.

"Hello~wake up~wake up~"

Under Argo's call, the eyelids of the earphone girl trembled, and then slowly opened, a pair of crimson jewel-like glasses looked at Argo sleepily.

"Hello~ You'll catch a cold if you sleep here~"

Seeing that the girl with earphones still seemed to be asleep, Argo yelled a few more times.

At this time, the earphone girl seemed to have regained her senses, her big eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly sat up straight.

"Then, I'll leave immediately, sorry!"

"No, no, don't worry, I'm not here to drive you away."

Argo quickly comforted the earphone girl, and the earphone girl seemed to see Argo's face clearly.

She blinked in surprise, then said cautiously.

"......Miss bartender?"

"It seems that you remember me, that's great."

Argo smiled, and then sat next to the girl with headphones.

"Why are you sleeping here? Aren't you afraid of the cold weather recently?"

Looking at the girl wearing headphones, Argo asked curiously.

The earphone girl hesitated for a moment before answering slowly.

"It's okay, but miss the bartender, why are you here?"

"I went out to buy a late-night snack, then I came to get gas, and then I saw you."

Argo gestured to the gas station not far away.

"I heard from the gas station employee that you have been here for two or three days, have you run away from home?"

"......"

The earphone girl didn't speak, it seemed that she didn't really want to answer.

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to say it. I'm not the kind of person who likes to ask other people's privacy, but you've been wandering here, and the gas station employees are about to call the police."

"No! Don't call the police!"

The earphone girl visibly panicked when she heard it, and Argo comforted her again.

"Calm down, just not yet."

Argo flipped through the bag, and took out a can of warm milk tea from it.

"Come on, let's have a drink to warm up."

Looking at the drink that Argo handed over, the girl with earphones hesitated.

It seems that the other party is not the kind of naive, silly and sweet, who would not just take a drink from a stranger.

Even though she knew Argo, she was still a little wary.

"I just bought it at a supermarket. You can see that the appearance is intact. Even if I want to take medicine, it will be difficult for me to take medicine, right?"

With a smile, Argo patiently explained to the earphone girl.

Seeing Argo's smile, and then looking at the can of milk tea, the earphone girl took it, and the warm feeling spread from the can to the palm of her hand.

The earphone girl opened the can, and then took a sip slowly. The warm milk tea entered her body along her mouth, warming the cold body of the earphone girl.

Just like this, she drank half of the milk tea, and the girl with earphones stopped talking. Only then did she remember that Argo was beside her, and she took a sneak peek at it.

On the other hand, Argo just looked at the earphone girl with a smile on his mouth, which made the earphone girl blush a little bit, and the other party saw all the appearance of pouring milk tea just now.

"...Thank, thank you."

"You're welcome, then let's just let it go."

Argo looked at the earphone girl and said directly.

"Would you like to come and live with me?"

"Eh?"

The earphone girl looked at Argo in surprise, and couldn't believe what she heard just now.

"Although I don't know the reason, you should be homeless, and if I guess correctly, you may have lost your job or something."

Judging from the fact that the headphone girl had visited several bars before, Argo deduced that the other party should have a job or rely on pocket money.

But since the girl with earphones started living on the street three days ago, food and accommodation are still a problem. If there is a conflict with the family, look at the lightness of the girl with earphones now, and you know that she ran out on impulse. Mobile phone and wallet.

If the other party really has a job, at least they won't be living on the streets, and it's no problem to find a cheap hotel for a few days.

But judging from the way the girl is sleeping in the park, it is known that she may not have a job, and all the money she brought out is spent on food and drink.

"......"

The girl with the earphones was silent. Argo was right, she has no place to live at the moment, and even her previous part-time job has disappeared for some reason.

"So, let's make a deal."

"trade?"

Argo nodded, and then continued talking to the earphone girl.

"You know I work in a bar, and I was planning to add some more staff recently, and you just appeared in front of me."

"But you have nowhere to go, living, boarding and lodging are all problems. If you continue like this, you will either be taken away by the police or encounter even more terrible things."

"Well........."

The earphone girl shrank her shoulders in fear, but she was also confused about her future.

"So that's all right. I will provide you with food and accommodation. In contrast, you will come to the bar to help with work, so that everyone can get what they need. What do you think?"

"......"

The earphone girl still hesitated, she was afraid that Argo was deceiving herself, and maybe the real purpose was to sell her.

And Argo could easily see the concerns of the earphone girl, which made her nod her head, it's a good thing to be wary.

As for picking up homeless girls on the side of the road, it is against the law. Argo has already done murder and arson, so are you still afraid of this?

"Although I want to say that I'm not a bad person, bad people probably would say that. But you've been to the bar several times, so you know me a little bit. You've heard the good reputation of our bar, haven't you?"

"Besides, look, do you still need to arrest someone to sell a beautiful girl like me? I can sell it for a good price myself."

"puff......"

Argo's exaggerated tone made the earphone girl couldn't help laughing. Indeed, Argo's appearance was one of the best among the people she knew.

Therefore, her inner vigilance subsided a little, but she still asked a little worriedly.

"Then why did the bartender do this? I've only been to the bar a few times, but it's incredible that the bartender can remember my appearance."

"Hey~ Don't look at me like this. In our line of work, people have a better vision, and people will naturally be more impressed by cute and beautiful girls."

Argo raised his finger and shook it.

"Eh........."

"Also, for me, it's more about fate."

"fate?"

"Yeah, in such a cold weather, I, who need to add staff to the bar, and you, who need to solve the problem of food and accommodation, don't you think the timing is wonderful?"
