At 6 o'clock in the early morning, the early autumn morning is still asleep, but the Feishi has already woken up early.
Accompanying the awakening of this city are countless workers, and Miss D is one of them.
Today is the weekend, Miss D is on vacation, but she still gets up on time, goes downstairs on time, takes out the trash, and then starts to worry on time. The fallen leaves of early autumn crackle under her shoes, and Miss D hasn't gone far before the morning sun and the early bus discover her together.
The early autumn sun is unreserved, penetrating straight into Miss D's eye sockets, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
In the glaring morning sun, Miss D heard the familiar voice.
"Are you having baozi today?"
"Thank you, I don't want any today."
"Oh, aren't you the little girl who buys my Baozi every day?"
"Yes, that's me."
"The clerical staff nowadays really work hard. Eating Baozi in the morning is so comfortable, much better than eating a lot of bread."
"Okay, then I'll take one."
"Right, the most suitable thing is what matters, not following the trend, don't you agree?"
"Yeah, you're right."
"Nah! Two buns, one won't be enough to eat."
"Alright, I'll scan for you."
As usual, after scanning the code and getting the package, the boss didn't say much to her. The steaming hot Baozi temporarily pulled Miss D out of her worries.
Like a hot stove, Baozi switches her left hand to her right hand, and her right hand to her left hand. This happens every day of the year.
Miss D is an ordinary employee of a foreign company in the Feishi downtown. She leaves work on time every day, doesn't work overtime, doesn't socialize, and doesn't date. Her job is not exactly easy, but it's much better than working at a big internet company. When she's not working, she strolls around the city and visits exhibitions, which is commonly referred to as "city walk." However, Miss D sometimes feels guilty about this leisurely lifestyle, just like countless other small-town intellectuals.
Like most people, Miss D had the idea of coming to Feishi before graduating. From childhood to adulthood, Miss D has always worked hard to achieve top scores, be a class monitor, a model student, an outstanding leader, and an outstanding young person. These were all the medals that Miss D once had, but after coming to Feishi, apart from the sense of powerlessness that enveloped her every day, everything else was irrelevant to her. She couldn't predict what tomorrow would be like, and she could only wander around like a headless fly, hitting walls everywhere. Whenever she saw friends working overtime until one or two in the morning on social media, she would become anxious and suffer from insomnia. She genuinely envied these purposeful people.
Over the past year, Miss D has often suffered from insomnia. As soon as the day breaks, Miss D gets up. As the day gets brighter, the $1.50 coffee shop on the street also starts to emit white smoke. Baozi with coffee, because it's cheap, has become Miss D's breakfast of choice. Especially this coffee shop, in an environment where a cup of coffee in the Feishi easily costs thirty or more, its existence is definitely considered a rarity.
Its prototype is the gatehouse of this old shabby residential area. Because now everything has been upgraded to smart face recognition access, the gatehouse has been rented out, and something that used to cost money has turned into something that makes money. At first, the gatehouse was targeted by a aromatherapy shop, and half a year later it became a designer boutique. At the beginning of this year, after a large-scale renovation for half a month, it finally became a community café.
It's a space of less than 30 square meters, a pure square, all white on all sides, with a large window connecting to the street, decorated in a style that young people like. The café is located in Xuhui District, surrounded by plane trees, with a standard Shanghai accent.
