Chapter 2: Sour, Beep! 4
"Um... I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Bu Xiao turned and looked at me with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay, I just didn't expect that Yining actually has a brother complex." My voice was very low, but Bu Xiao still heard it and looked a little embarrassed.
"He should not be Yining's biological brother. They must have grown up together." Hua Likong suddenly said.
"Oh, so that's how it is." I muttered.
"How did you know?" Bu Xiao looked at Hua Likong in surprise.
"Yeah, how did you know that?"
I was shocked. Does this guy have the ability to read people's minds? This is really weird.
"I guessed." Hua Likong responded unnaturally.
"Guess what! I don't believe it. Do you have the ability to read minds?" I narrowed my eyes slightly and pouted my lips to express my curiosity, but then turned my head to the other side.
Speaking of the ability to detect people's minds, I think of the mind-reading family. Everyone in the mind-reading family has the ability to read minds. As far as I know, the mind-reading family has always been a very powerful family. Unlike me, since my father traveled around the world, I am the only one left.
But Hua Likong doesn’t seem to be from a mind-reading family!
Maybe he guessed that because he is very smart...
"Snapped!"
There was a sudden blow to the back of my head.
Hua Likong took back the hand that was patting the back of my head. I turned around and jumped up, viciously returning that "slap" to Hua Likong.
Hua Likong touched the back of his head, feeling a little depressed: "You really are a revengeful person, so scary."
"You are the scary one." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Hehe." Bu Xiao's beautiful girlfriend Xiao Wei suddenly laughed out loud. But when everyone looked at her, she leaned against Bu Xiao shyly.
She is really like a little bird!
"Let's go."
Just as I was stunned, Hua Likong grabbed my wrist and tried to drag me out.
"What are you doing?" I was helpless. Why did you suddenly grab me like this? After all, I am a girl, don't you know that girls are shy?
"Go find Yining."
"Why do you have to drag me along? If you want to go, you can just go by yourself!" I was very unhappy. What? Why did she have to make me go along with her?
"You are a girl." Hua Likong said seriously.
"Xiaowei is also a girl. At worst, there is still Yining's brother." I retorted.
"It's not convenient for them to go." Hua Likong had already dragged me out the door.
"How do you know it's not convenient for them to go?" Humph, it's obviously you who want to go!
"My guess."
Guess you're a big shot!
We found Yining at a corner in the city center, where she was looking at a beautiful girl painting on the street.
It was difficult to communicate with so many people coming and going, so Hua Likong took Yining back to the curry restaurant, and I could only watch silently.
Yining sat on the chair, her eyes stubborn and aggrieved. I really don't understand where this rich and well-fed young lady got so much resentment from.
"Yining, have a glass of juice first." Hua Likong prepared a large glass of juice for Yining.
It is said that fruit juice can regulate mood. Damn Hua Likong, why haven’t I seen you be so considerate to me?
Yining pouted, and after a while she picked up Hua Likong's love juice and drank it all, as if it was not a glass of juice but a glass of Erguotou, as if she was trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
I stayed at the door of the curry house but didn't go in. I stood with my back against the wall on the other side of the door, saying that I was "ready to receive guests at any time."
"Yining, I think I need to have a good talk with you." Hua Likong sat opposite Yining and said seriously.
Is this a confession? Oh my little heart.
But that's not the point. What I'm worried about is that if Hua Likong falls in love, he will definitely be lazy. What about the curry shop? I thought that someone could finally share this responsibility with me, but...
"Yining, do you really just treat Bu Xiao as a brother?" Hua Likong spoke slowly.
Huh? It turns out it wasn't a confession!
Why do I feel a little secretly happy? Chi Weiwei, you must have been running the curry restaurant by yourself for too long, and the pressure is so great that you are almost going crazy.
"Of course, what else?" After hearing Hua Likong's question, Yining, who had been sitting quietly in the chair, was stunned for a moment, and then twisted his body uncomfortably.
Hua Likong glanced at Yining's clenched hands due to nervousness, and whispered: "He is not your biological brother, you are probably just too dependent on him, right?"
Yining's face changed, and he stood up in a panic, hesitating a little: "How...how did you know?"
"Of course it's your brother who said it himself!" I interrupted at the right time.
The corners of Yining's mouth twitched, as if he was hostile to me.
But why, when I was following Yining, I didn't realize that Bu Xiao was Yining's brother, but Hua Likong knew everything? It's so strange.
Therefore, I firmly believe that when we were tracking Yining, we adopted a serial tracking mode, and Hua Likong must have been involved in this matter.
"Yining, as your good friend, there are some things I must tell you." Hua Likong looked at Yining with super sincere eyes, and that look had the power to influence everyone.
Before I could react, Yining turned around and looked at me, which made me very confused.
Then I understood that it meant for me to get out of the way.
The point is, the curry house is mine. If you tell me to get out of the way, I'll get out of the way, but that would be so embarrassing.
"Chi Weiwei, go back to your room first." Hua Likong stood up and looked at me and said.
Damn Hua Likong!
"If you don't want to listen, then don't listen. What's the big deal?" I quickly went back to my room and didn't want to bother with those two hateful guys anymore.
So, the big Winnie the Pooh doll on my bed became my tool for venting.
"Hateful Hua Likong!"
I punched Winnie the Pooh in the head.
"Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!"
Phew, after punching it a few times, I felt much better. I don’t know when, but Zhou Gong asked me to go on a date with him.
After waking up, I felt so sore all over due to my poor sleeping posture, so I just got up.
I don't know how Hua Likong and Yining talked. Thinking of this, I hurried downstairs and saw only a few customers eating curry rice and Hua Likong busy at the cooking table.
When I walked to the cooking table, I yawned loudly, which earned me a look of disgust from Hua Likong.
"Little lazy pig, you finally got up."
"Hey, what do you mean by finally getting up?" I raised my hand and scratched my messy hair, saying unhappily.
"It's so early in the morning, why don't you come and help. Oh, by the way, you didn't have dinner last night, so you must be hungry. I prepared something to eat for you." Hua Likong said, pointing to a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks on the kitchen counter.
"What morning?" I was a little confused for a moment. Shouldn't it be evening?
"Have you lost your sleep?" Hua Likong poked my forehead with his index finger. "Today is Friday, you are not still living in yesterday?" Hua Likong's eyes were full of contempt.
What? Today is Friday? I slept so long? I can't believe it.
"Then why didn't you wake me up?" I complained.
"I called you dozens of times, but you ignored me." Hua Likong said lightly, while cutting vegetables quickly in his hands.
Well, I sleep too much.
I quickly ran to wash up, then finished the breakfast prepared by Hua Likong, and started to entertain the guests.
But when it was almost noon, Hua Likong told me that the store would be closed and no customers would be served in the afternoon. What was going on?
"Why do we have to close in the afternoon? Why close the store in broad daylight? Shouldn't we attract more business?" I said in a loud voice.
"Don't worry, there is something that can be solved soon. Let's go somewhere this afternoon." Hua Likong said as he began to clean up the kitchen table and sent me back to my room to change into proper clothes.
Isn't Hua Likong too arrogant? What's wrong with my clothes? I can change them! But my closet is full of sportswear or loose casual clothes, not even a skirt.
I couldn't believe that I had no skirt, so I stared at the pile of clothes in my room for a full half hour.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There was a knock on the door.
"Chi Weiwei, did you fall asleep again? Why does it take you so long to change clothes?" Hua Likong became uncalm for a rare time.
I guess this guy must have something to deal with.
"immediately!"
After much hesitation, I casually put on a white T-shirt, paired with a pair of light blue jeans, and walked out of the room carelessly.
Hua Likong was waiting outside the door, and he didn't make any preparations. However, in my opinion, he didn't need to make any preparations, because he was born to be a clothes hanger, and he was so handsome even when wearing an apron.
“Puff!”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Hua Likong looked puzzled.
"No, it's nothing, we can go now." I pretended to be calm.
So I followed Hua Likong out the door.
Along the way, Hua Likong still laughed at my outfit, and I glared at him fiercely. He said that my style was somewhere between princess style and manly style. What? He didn't know how to appreciate it, huh!
It is a rare opportunity for me to go out, so I looked around as I walked.
After walking for more than half an hour, Hua Likong finally brought me to an elegant and quiet cafe.
"Why are we here? The coffee here is expensive." I complained bitterly. Please, I am very poor.
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay." Hua Likong patted my shoulder to reassure me, then touched his purse, "If you have money, you can do whatever you want!"
Well, it doesn't cost me money, so I have nothing to worry about.
After entering the cafe, a very well-dressed waiter came up to greet us.
After Hua Likong reported the table number, she took us to a private room.
However, when I saw the people sitting in the box, I was stunned.
Bu Xiao, Xiao Wei, and Yining.
"Hualikong, if I had known that I was here to see them, I would not have come." I gritted my teeth and said in a weak voice.
But Hua Likong, who had excellent hearing, heard it clearly, because I saw a mischievous smile flash across his face.
Yining was still staring at Bu Xiao's girlfriend Xiaowei with murderous eyes. When he saw Hua Likong and me, his expression improved a little.
Bu Xiao is really pitiful. He is really caught in a dilemma facing two girls with completely different personalities and incompatible relationships.
I sat down in the empty seat, and Hua Likong sat next to me.
The atmosphere in the box was a little awkward. It remained like this for a long time and no one spoke.
Bu Xiao looked at Yining, Yining looked at Xiaowei, Xiaowei looked at me, and I could only look at Hua Likong eagerly, performing one good show of "affectionate gaze" after another.
"Ahem." I was the first one to lose my temper. It felt really weird to be watched all the time!
"Oh, by the way, the coffee in this cafe is very good, you should try it." Bu Xiao said gently.
"Yes, the coffee here is very good." Xiaowei also agreed.
Maybe because the situation was so awkward and there was no other topic to talk about, everyone just started chatting around the coffee. In order to get rid of this weird atmosphere, I picked up the coffee and drank it without thinking.
"puff!"
A sudden pain came over me.
It’s so hot!
It’s so scalding!
I drank too quickly and the coffee spilled directly on my white T-shirt. It was so embarrassing.
"Be careful, don't drink so quickly."
Hua Likong quickly handed me a tissue and a glass of boiled water.
I quickly wiped the stains on my clothes, drank some water, and immediately felt much better.
It's so embarrassing. I really want to find a hole to crawl into.
"hehe."
Yining suddenly burst into laughter, which shocked me.
As far as I can remember, I have never seen Yining smile since I met her. What did Hua Likong say to her that made such a difficult young lady smile?
It's true that Yining is still very cute when she smiles, with neat white teeth and beautiful clear big eyes shining. The difference between when she smiles and when she is in a bad mood is really huge.
"Really? Be careful. I won't snatch your drink away." Yining said .
My head suddenly went blank, and I wondered if Yining had been swapped. She actually smiled at me?
"Chi Weiwei." Yining called me and moved closer to me.
"Ah!" I got nervous and moved away to avoid close contact with Yining, but I accidentally bumped into Hua Likong and our skin touched.
"Why are you so afraid of me? I won't eat you." Yining pouted in confusion and slowly moved back to her original position.
Phew, I was so scared! Fortunately, she didn't slap me.
"Chi Weiwei." Hua Likong glanced at me sharply, as if I had done something shameful.
"What's wrong?" I looked at Hua Likong blankly.
"Sit still and stop twisting around." Hua Likong straightened my body with disdain.
"Hehe." Two giggling voices came from the other side. I knew without looking that it was Bu Xiao and Xiao Wei who were laughing at me in secret.
It's all because of that girl Yining. She scared me.
Hua Likong suddenly leaned close to my ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of us could hear: "Chi Weiwei, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of someone."
The warm breath made my ears itch slightly, and I really wanted to slap Hua Likong. But I could only think about it in frustration.
The amazing thing is that because of my embarrassment, everyone seemed to relax a lot and the atmosphere became much better afterwards.
Just like that, the strange gathering in the coffee shop ended peacefully.
Ever since the incident at the coffee shop that day, Yining came to the curry restaurant every day, but he didn't eat curry rice. He just gossiped endlessly with Hua Likong and me.
This really caught me off guard.
Every time Yining left, I would pull Hua Likong tightly and ask me what he and Yining talked about that day when I fell asleep unknowingly. Yining was like a completely different person!
This made me extremely curious, but Hua Likong refused to tell me.
"Hua Likong, tell me, tell me! I'm very curious!"
It was already very late and all the customers in the curry house had left, so I dared to pull Hua Likong's sleeve and question him so unscrupulously.
"Chi Weiwei, isn't it good that Yining has changed? Why do you have to ask what happened that day?" Hua Likong tidied up the kitchen table and walked up the stairs.
"Hua Likong, you won't lose a piece of meat if you tell me! Please, I really want to know!"
I'm just a curious girl!
"Boom, boom, boom."
Hua Likong walked up the stairs in regular steps.
I turned around and quickly ran to the stairs, blocking Hua Likong's way back to the room.
"Hua Likong, if you don't tell me what you talked about that day, I won't let you into the room today, and you can sleep on the kitchen counter, humph!"
If soft tactics don’t work, try hard tactics.
"Do you really want to know?" Hua Likong tilted his head and looked at me with a very strange expression.
"What you're talking about is nonsense. I've been asking you this for several days. I just want to know!" I looked at Hua Likong with an expression that made me think I was looking at an idiot.
"Well...ok then, let's go upstairs and talk about it."
"No, what if you change your mind after you go upstairs and into your room? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Do I look like that kind of person?" Hua Likong's mouth twitched slightly.
"How should I know? What if you are that kind of person?"
Hua Likong was speechless for a moment.
