Chapter 808 - The Missing Wu Hai (2/2)

“That makes sense,” Sun Ming had not thought of that as well. He nodded blankly.

“Um. You may leave now,” Yuan Zhou sent the screenshot of a ticket to Sun Ming and said.

“Ok. I’ll come to find you tomorrow,” Sun Ming checked the time and nodded.

“Be careful on your way,” Yuan Zhou nodded and watched on as Sun Ming left before calling a taxi to return to his restaurant.

It was already quite late when Yuan Zhou arrived at his restaurant. Before he could finish preparing dinner ingredients, dinner time had arrived.

And thus, tonight became a busy night for Yuan Zhou.

Meanwhile, the customers recalled something, or to be precise, they noticed something.

“I thought Shameless Wu said that he will be away for a week? It has already been a week since Boss Yuan returned. Where is Shameless Wu?” Ling Hong muttered while he ate.

“Why? Are you missing Wu Hai?” Sister Wan asked.

Recently, Sister Wan had been putting on delicate makeup before coming to the restaurant. Everyone in the restaurant could smell the air of love lingering about her.

Ling Hong snorted and said, “Missing him? Is he even worthy? It merely feels weird without him in the restaurant.”

“When something has been by our side for a long time, regardless of whether that something is a good or a bad thing, we will still feel weird when that thing is gone. That is understandable,” Sister Wan concluded.

“You sound so poetic, but you are exaggerating. I just feel like there’s nobody I can scold without him around,” Ling Hong said. At times, Sister Wan would be very poetic when speaking. However, she was a refined and scholarly person so it would be weird if she didn’t speak that way.

“You are only wishing for something to scold. We have someone wanting to take action here,” Sister Wan was referring to Happy and Brain that was seated on the next table.

Qin Xiaoyi, the Brain, and Gao Fan, the Happy, were feeling very weird that the great demon king was not here for them to battle.

And thus, to commemorate Wu Hai, both Gao Fan and Qin Xiaoyi decided to ask for an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks from Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou was curious about this request. But when he saw what they did, he was rendered speechless. They set the bowl and chopsticks beside them and even placed some food inside the bowl before proceeding to pretend like Wu Hai was there.

The last time Yuan Zhou encountered this method of commemorating someone was when an ex-classmate of his died. Not only was there an empty bowl, there would also be a black and white portrait of the deceased. Fortunately, there were no portraits of Wu Hai here, but this still made Yuan Zhou feel weird.

After thinking about it for a bit, Yuan Zhou reminded Qin Xiaoyi and Gao Fan, “No leftover food allowed, not even those in the empty bowl.”

When Ling Hong saw what they did, he mused that wherever a silly person went, joy would be present.

“By the way, nothing has happened to Wu Hai, right? He won’t be able to eat well without Boss Yuan’s food,” Sister Wan was visibly worried. “It has been over a week. Is he really fine?”

“What can happen to him?” Ling Hong answered without thinking. “If something has really happened to him, the painting industry of China will go crazy. But everything is still peaceful.”

That was logical. Previously when Wu Hai had merely knocked his head on the stairs, many famous individuals from the painting industry had came to visit him.

“I am still worried. I will call Zheng Jiawei later. If I know anything, I will let you guys know,” Sister Wan said.

Ling Hong waved his hand, indicating that he was not worried at all. There was no need to notify him about the results of the call.
