473 Impeccable Memory (1/2)
Earlier in the day, someone said she was gonna make people cry with her generosity. And that someone was none other than; Yan Ying herself!
Right now, everyone in the private room was crying but whether it was tears of joy or not... It was hard to say though. But did it matter? Her mission was accomplished already!
And that's why Yan Ying was definitely satisfied with this result.
All of her team members were more than happy when she brought them to an internet-famous restaurant. But who knew she would order the specialty of this place. And that happened to be; Super Spicy Hotpot!
It was so spicy that tears were inevitable. But Ying personally loved that about this place. Her team members might disagree with her preferences though. Not like she cared about that. If they wanted her to spend money, it was gonna be on her terms. Or nobody was gonna get to eat anything today!
”Team leader, are you taking revenge on all of us?” asked Mark when he noticed her smiling through her own tears.
”What do you think?” she asked in return. ”But you can't deny that this is the best Hotpot ever!”
Mark shook his head saying, ”I'm not denying it. But...” He breathed through his mouth while wiping his tears. ”You're really cruel by placing the bet of whoever ate the hotpot without any drink, that person would get a week off of work.”
”Anything is fair in love and war,” she retorted with a peal of evil laughter.
”No wonder you're still single,” he replied making her face twitch. ”By the way, did you recover your memories?”
”I don't have amnesia,” said Ying.
”Then how come you don't remember Destiny Novell?”
Ying rubbed her nape, ”If only I knew that.” She placed her chopsticks down and got up, ”I'm gonna pay the bill now.” Saying that she walked out of the private room and came out for some fresh air. She paid the bill but didn't go back inside. Neither was she planning on doing it. Her nose and eyes were red from that spicy hotpot so she decided to wash her face with cold water.
She sat down at one of the benches after she came out of the washroom but her nose was still itchy. She rubbed her nose, sniffling repeatedly. She was again gonna rub her nose when a napkin was suddenly extended towards her. She looked at the napkin and then at the person who offered it. He was sitting at the other end of the bench earlier but now had slid closer to her.
”Wipe your tears with it,” he said.
Ying frowned at him, ”Are you blind? I'm not crying!”
”So, you're done crying?” he asked.
Ying glared at his face which was hidden behind those big shades and that baseball cap he wore. She took a deep breath, ”Even if I was crying, what are you trying to do? Act nice? If you're then don't bother. I am not used to receiving kindness from a stranger.”
”What?” asked Ying since she didn't hear him clearly.
”I said kind strangers might be rare but not completely extinct.”
Ying didn't know why but she asked, ”Have you met one?”
She was surprised when she saw him not only nodding but also flashing a pearly white smile as he said, ”I knew the living example.”
