Chapter 2: Sour, Beep! 2
I was woken up by Hua Likong early in the morning and started preparing the ingredients for today. As someone who is used to sleeping in, I felt a little bit complaining.
"Chi Weiwei, don't you have to go to school?" Hua Likong asked me this very serious question while demonstrating his perfect sword skills.
I was busy dealing with the ingredients in my hands and said perfunctorily, "Aren't you not in school too?"
"Because I have already finished all the courses in advance, I just need to take the exam on time and pass the exam." Hua Likong was definitely showing off. It sounds like Hua Likong's family is well-off, and he can even go to school as he pleases.
"As for me... I've been on leave from school for nearly half a year." When I talk about this, I feel insecure.
"Drop off school? You dropped out of school?" Hua Likong frowned, seeming a little surprised.
"Yeah, otherwise who will manage the curry house? If no one manages the curry house, I won't be able to find customers who can taste five different flavors of curry rice." I muttered.
"Then why did you have to find five such guests?"
"This...I...this..."
I was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer Hua Likong's question. After all, this is my family's business...
"Oh, don't worry about this!" I stomped my feet uncontrollably.
"Okay, then you still haven't told me how to treat my sense of taste." Hua Likong raised his eyebrows slightly. Although his eyebrows were slightly frowned, he looked very calm. And what he said today was more than what he said in a week.
"In short, as long as we find these five customers, curing your taste buds will be no problem!" I said excitedly.
Hua Likong was stunned for no apparent reason: "Really?"
"Really? I can only cure your sense of taste after I find these five customers and solve their problems." Seeing that he seemed to be unconvinced, I patted my chest and made a promise, "Anyway, I won't lie to you. You have to believe me."
I looked at him with a super innocent look.
There was a hint of meaning in his eyes that I couldn't understand. After a long while, he said calmly: "Okay, just remember what you said. You must help me cure my sense of taste."
"Okay, okay, I will, I will."
Anyway, we are all mutually beneficial. If Hua Likong helps me find these five guests, then it won't be difficult to cure his sense of taste.
As I expected, that hateful girl named Yining came to the curry restaurant again.
Every time I thought about the curry restaurant providing free curry rice to a savage lady, I felt very unhappy. But there was nothing I could do. As long as I showed some displeasure, Hua Likong would use the contract to pressure me.
Damn contract!
However, in order to turn around the business situation of the curry house, I endured it.
"Waiter, come here for a moment." The eldest lady is here to order me around again.
"Hello...what can I do for you?" I asked deliberately slurring my words.
"A glass of orange juice." Yining stared at the menu in his hand without even looking at me.
"Sold out." I replied proudly.
"Then, I want chocolate cake."
“We specialize in curry and rice.”
In fact , the curry house also has some desserts and juices. However, treating people who eat and drink for free, hum...
"Then give me some sweet curry rice." Yining frowned, seeming a little unhappy.
"How about I give you some sour curry rice?" I really didn't want to waste my favorite sweet curry rice, since she would spit it out anyway.
"What do you mean!" Yining suddenly stood up from his seat, his face instantly turned angry, and he looked at me as if I was deliberately looking for trouble.
"I don't mean anything. I'm just giving you sound advice."
I said that I was really just making a suggestion, a mutually beneficial suggestion, but it seemed that the young lady had taken my words as a provocation.
"As a waiter, you are clearly not up to standard." Yining glared at me.
"Who is the waiter? You are the waiter." I am the boss, okay?
"Chi Weiwei!" Hua Likong quickly came to my side.
"I'm sorry, Yining, Chi Weiwei has been in a bad mood recently. Please bear with me." Hua Likong smiled gently, trying to stop the war between girls.
Damn Hua Likong, who is in a bad mood? Even if you know, don't say it!
Hua Likong successfully coaxed the eldest lady and prepared sweet curry rice, chocolate cake and orange juice for her.
"Chi Weiwei, no wonder the curry shop's business was so bleak before I came here. How could the curry shop's business be good with a stingy boss like you? You scared away all the customers."
Hua Likong pulled me to the cooking table and gave me a lecture in an almost earnest tone.
"Nonsense. If my business was booming and I had sufficient funds, I would give it away for free," I said stubbornly.
Hua Likong approached me gently and lowered his head gradually.
I panicked and quickly took two steps back.
"I think you have something against Yining?" Hua Likong saw through my thoughts at a glance.
It feels terrible to have your heart exposed and shown naked to others.
"So what? It's none of your business." I said unhappily. Does this guy really have the ability to read minds?
"Yining has left, hurry up and follow him."
Hua Likong looked at Yining's table. Yining had already stood up and left the curry restaurant.
"Why should I follow her?"
I was extremely reluctant. Even if I didn't follow her, I could find the reason if I tried hard.
"It will be easier to find out the reason if we pay attention to her situation. We need to act quickly. Do you want to provide free curry rice every day?" Hua Likong began to use his verbal skills again.
"But I..."
I really don't want to go.
"Contract..."
"You're so cruel!" I gritted my teeth, took off the waiter's clothes I was wearing, and ran out of the curry house like a flash.
I quietly carried out an underground mission, which was to follow Miss Yining.
I suddenly realized that the private detectives in the movies were just for fun, and tracking is a tiring job. In one day, I followed this young lady to most of City A, including the amusement park, the riverside, and the villas in the suburbs...
In short, we went to all the places we could go. The key point is that among so many places, Yining didn't even take a car. We relied on walking for everything.
I think that although Yining looks like a delicate young lady, she is actually a potential marathon runner. My athletic cells that have been dormant for many years were also stimulated to the extreme at this moment.
"I'm so tired." As soon as I got back to the curry restaurant, I lay down on the table and didn't want to move at all.
"Are you back?" Hua Likong saw me coming back and walked towards me.
I lay half dead on the table, not wanting to speak.
"What's wrong? " Hua Likong asked softly, and stretched out his slender hand to touch my head.
"Not so good." In fact, I really wanted to shake off his hand, but I really had no strength left and was too lazy to even pour myself a drink of water.
Hua Likong seemed to see the desire in my heart and quickly poured a glass of water in front of me.
God, if only he could feed me something to drink at the same time. I don’t have the energy to even reach for the cup.
Just as I finished my wishful thinking, the cup of water was handed to me.
Wha…what? Are you…feeding me water?
Although the atmosphere was a little awkward, I really didn't want to move, so I drank the glass of water from Hua Likong's hand.
"What's the reason?" Hua Likong continued to pester.
Finally I regained some strength, and I could only hear myself slowly speaking: "How magical! As an underground worker, I am following the young lady, and the young lady, as the person being targeted by the underground workers, is actually following another boy. This world is really magical..."
"You mean... Yining is following another boy?"
"yes."
"Then do you know who that boy is?"
"I only saw the back, how would I know who it was?" I muttered.
"Are you done asking?" I said weakly.
"I've finished asking. What's wrong?" Hua Likong was very curious why I asked this.
"After asking, he carried me back. I was so tired that I couldn't walk anymore."
In fact, I originally wanted to ask the hateful Hua Likong when his relationship with Miss Yining became so good, but I really don’t have the energy to ask him today. I’ll go back and have a good sleep first.
