Taking advantage of the fact that there were no custo, are you free tomorrow?'
” You want lance at the calendar To of whether to take a leave or not
”No!” Li Kai said
” Brother Feng said it's Ye Zhengchen's birthdayWe would like to invite hi Karaoke and celebrate his birthday”
”Oh”
” Do you want to join us?”
” I have classes till late evening tomorrow”
Last time he had made such double entendres in front of everyone Now our relationshi+p was like this How could I eat at the same table?
Better to skip it altogether even if that made me the butt of jokes
” Xiao Bing, you and Ye Zhengchen”
Even before he finished, I interrupted him, ” Xiao Li, have you eaten?”
” Not yet”
” What do you want to eat? I'll cook so”
” Fried chicken, spicy”
” Ok”
I hid in the roos
Then I went up to him As soon as the lid of the container was opened, the convenience store was filled with the fragrance of fried chicken
” Sit here and I'll take care of the counter”
” Thank you” He took the lunch, opened the cash machine, paid the money and sat in the corner to eat his meal
The door was pushed open
The bell rang out crisply
I bowed and greeted the customer in japanese
” Welcome…” and then I paused for a second Then I stood up stiffly and only said the last word, 'customer'
Ye Zhengchen came in His face was soh to my heart
Quietly, I clenched my fists and put on a professional smile I asked in Chinese, ” What do you need?”
He stood opposite me , looked at my hands on the counter and then looked around
Finally, he saw Li Kai eating his lunch
” Can I have the fried chicken?”
” I'm sorry, its not ready”, I said, ” Are you in a hurry? I can fry it right now”
” Its okay Just give me the packet”
I took a bag from the counter, put two of his favourite coffee flavoured beer and the lunch in the bag and handed it over to him
Seeing him take out his wallet, I smiled and said, ” You don't need to pay It's my treat”
He was slightly startled Alers touched ers tre
I lifted up s never changed
He cleared his throat and looked at his watch
” What tiet off work?”
I finally realised why he was looking at his watch constantly
