Chapter 4: Bitter·Bang! 2
I'm so tired. I didn't expect that Xia You, who looks skinny, is so heavy to drag!
"You're back? Huh? Why did you bring a girl back?"
I dragged Xia You back to the curry restaurant exhausted. God knows why she fell asleep on the sofa in the private hall of the curry restaurant as if she had taken sleeping pills.
"It's a long story. I...I encountered some problems on the way to deliver curry rice today. My curry rice was stolen by this girl named Xia You."
She is really the strangest girl I have ever met. She is too lazy to even walk. If I were not a girl myself, Xia You would probably just lie on the ground and let me carry her back.
"Cheating?" Hua Likong was curious at first, and then he actually laughed out loud.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm in such a bad situation, and you're still laughing? This Xia You said that the curry rice I made was terrible. Not only that, but he also gave me ten yuan to get rid of me. It's really..."
I just don't know what to say.
"So you dragged her back?" Hua Likong was a little surprised. It was probably because if it were the old me, I would never do such a thankless task, right?
"Yeah, otherwise I don't know how to solve this problem." I answered honestly, " Didn't you say that running the curry house well is the premise? How can I tolerate something that is not good for the curry house?"
"Yes, you have really figured out a lot." Hua Likong's mouth corners rose slightly.
"Who am I? I'm the owner of a curry shop."
Even though he is just a poor boss...
"So what's troubling her?" Hua Likong got to the point.
"I don't know. She complained that the curry rice I made was too bitter, but the curry rice I made was not bitter at all."
Although I have been developing a bitter curry rice that tastes good recently, I haven't actually served it to customers yet.
"Then why don't you just investigate what's bothering her instead of going through all the trouble of dragging her back to the curry house?"
Okay, I knew Hua Likong would ask this question. This question is so difficult for me.
"I forgot……"
My curry rice was stolen at that time and I was so depressed that who would remember that incident?
"Knew it would be like this."
Hua Likong seemed to have expected this answer a long time ago, which made me feel relieved.
However, in order to confirm Xia You's problem again, I made a sour curry rice for Xia You. However, when the curry rice was ready, I found that Xia You was in a deep sleep and could not be woken up no matter what.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xia You, hurry up and get up and try the curry rice I just made. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." I admit that I felt a little coaxing this way.
"Hmm..." Xia You turned over on the sofa, groaned, and ignored me and continued to sleep.
"Hey Hey hey!"
She slept so soundly that she could not be disturbed.
I really admire Xia You's ability to sleep.
"Hualikong! Please help me!" I shouted outside the private hall.
"As for the issue of waking up girls, I'm really a bit helpless." Hua Likong spread his hands helplessly.
Well, I'll just have to do it myself.
"Xia You..."
I plucked a few "chicken feathers" from a feather duster in the curry restaurant, tied them together and rubbed them on Xia You's face.
"Um."
Xia You's mouth and nose twitched, and he turned over, but he didn't wake up.
"Don't make trouble. I'll sleep a little longer." She muttered, trying to ignore my teasing .
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you eat and then sleep? You get up first."
I kept pulling at her arm until she sat up, but then she fell down again. I had to reach out to help her up in a panic to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"thump!"
Because I was not strong enough, I failed to support Xia You and fell to the ground with her.
"Ouch!"
I felt like my waist was going to break.
"Oh, you look so strong, how come you have no strength at all? I can't even support someone so light."
Xia You narrowed her eyes slightly to express her dissatisfaction, as if I was the one who disturbed her sleep.
"Hey, come on, it's broad daylight, why are you sleeping?" I pushed Xia You aside and sat up tiredly.
Xia You was finally half awake: "Can't I catch up on some sleep?"
She yawned loudly, stretched, and then looked at me.
"You made another curry? For me?"
Xia You looked at the curry rice I placed on the glass table, frowned, and looked like he didn't believe in my skills.
What's wrong with people nowadays? Do I have to verify my level one by one? God, if every customer is like this, I will be so tired!
"Yeah, for you."
What else can I say.
"Oh, but I'm too lazy to eat."
"ah?"
Why are customers nowadays more difficult to serve than the last? There is actually a reason for not eating - I am too lazy to eat?
"Why? I have already prepared the curry and rice and put it in front of you. You don't need to do anything."
Really, why is this girl named Xia You so lazy?
"But I need to move my mouth. I'm too lazy to chew with my teeth. It's very tiring."
ah!
I just wanted to pass out right now.
In my past life, this life and the next, I have never met such a lazy guy. He even finds chewing his food tiring. It turns out there are really such lazy people in this world!
"So what do you want? Do you want me to chew you?"
I feel sick saying this...
"No, it's too disgusting." Xia You said lazily, "I'd better go to sleep first."
At this moment, I just want to say one thing: "I want to die."
"Hualikū! I regret this!"
I really, really regret it.
A few days ago, I had a brain storm and brought back this big trouble, Xia You. Now it’s too late to cry.
Seeing the dark circles under my eyes, Hua Likong's expression could rarely be described as colorful.
"Because of Xia You?"
Hua Likong really knows his stuff.
"Yes." I felt so miserable that I couldn't even cry.
These days I have been treating Xia You like a young lady. Oh, no, I have been worshipping her like a bodhisattva.
"I'm thirsty!"
A death-like call came from the private hall. No, it should be said that it was a roar.
"I am here."
Alas, what kind of life is this for me? I still have to serve tea and water.
Xia You is a person who finds it troublesome to chew food, let alone pour water. She just needs me to pour the water and she doesn't need me to feed her.
You said she looked like a spoiled person, so why did her curry taste bitter? No matter what, it shouldn't taste bitter, right?
"hehe."
Hua Likong actually laughed out loud again.
"I say, Hua Likong, you are my partner after all, why don't you help me solve the problem, but instead gloat over my misfortune?"
Really, how can this be possible?
"Okay, I'm not gloating over your misfortune. I just find it interesting that there is someone you can't deal with." Hua Likong said with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"I think you are just gloating over other people's misfortune. Well, let's not talk about it anymore. This is my responsibility, so I have to find a way to solve it."
So, I went to pour the water pitifully.
"My ancestor, after drinking this water, can you please give me a bite of food?"
Oh my god, this is the first time I've asked someone for free curry rice. What am I doing this for?
"Okay, considering that you've taken care of me these days." Xia You finally agreed to use her chewing muscles.
I saw her drink the water slowly and then opened her mouth wide.
"ah……"
I picked up the plate of curry rice, scooped a spoonful of curry rice, and fed it into Xia You's mouth like coaxing a child.
“Ah… it’s so bitter…”
Xia You suddenly frowned, turned his face away, and spat out the food in his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey! How can you do this? This is my hard work after all! You can't throw it up even if it tastes terrible, right?"
I almost want to vomit blood...
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do that. It was just too bitter..." It was rare for Xia You to speak seriously without dozing off.
"All right……"
What else can I say?
"Then Miss, can you please go home first? You haven't been home for several days and didn't even say hello to your family. Your family must be very anxious to find you, right?"
I persuaded her carefully, hoping that she would quickly realize that she had to go home and leave the curry house.
Of course, I'm not busy shirking responsibility, but because Xia You is really difficult to serve. If this continues, I will definitely become a confinement nanny.
"You make sense, but I'm too lazy to go back." Xia You added.
"You can take a taxi. Can't I pay for the fare?"
Xia You's laziness has reached a certain level. He finds chewing too troublesome, holding a cup too troublesome to drink water, walking too troublesome to go home, and teachers too troublesome to go to school. In short, everything in the world is troublesome.
"But I'm too lazy to take a taxi. Besides, there are people here who feed me, give me water, wash dishes, and fold my quilts. I don't have to do anything. Why should I leave?" Xia You said slowly.
"Oh, my ancestors, what do you want? Are you planning not to even go home?" I almost screamed to the sky.
What's wrong with me that I dragged this difficult guy back to the curry house?
"Just accompany me home."
"You don't want me to carry you back, do you?" I felt terrified.
Seeing Xia You half-closed his eyes and didn't answer, I said very depressedly: "But I am smaller than you, I can't carry you."
"It's okay, just help me walk back, my home is nearby."
"I……"
I am speechless.
Your home is nearby, yet you're still begging me for days?
Although this is my own fault.
