“When she comes over later, can you ask the name of the girl?”
Everyone looked at him and came up with an idea.
Xiao Yan, who had been silent until now, coldly uttered a sentence.
“Are you here for dinner or what?” (T/N: Are you jealous or jealous?)
In an instant, the scene suddenly became deserted. Everyone looked at each other, glanced at the cold-faced Boss Xiao Yan, and closed their mouths obediently.
After a while, the atmosphere became lively again, but no one mentioned Bei Yutang’s matter anymore.
A group of people were drinking together, but Xiao Yan was the only one who was quietly drinking boiled water. His eyes followed the busy figures in the restaurant unknowingly, and even he himself was not aware of this.
“Boss Xiao, what are you looking at?” One of the drunken sergeants asked, sticking out his tongue.
“Nothing.” Xiao Yan looked back.
The sergeant did not believe in evil. He looked in the direction that he just saw and saw a table of diners opposite. There was nothing special about them, so he withdrew his gaze and continued drinking.
An hour later, everyone was drunk, except Xiao Yan who was sober.
He walked to the counter and said, “Check out.”
The proprietress glanced in the direction of their table and then flipped the abacus, “It’s a total of thirty-eight and a half cents. To make it up, just give me thirty-eight yuan.”
The proprietress looked up and saw Xiao Yan’s eyes on Bei Yutang.
She raised her eyebrows and coughed slightly. Xiao Yan looked away calmly, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, and took out four of them.
After they left, the proprietress turned to Bei Yutang and asked, “Yutang, do you know the man just now?”
Bei Yutang replied without thinking: “I don’t know.”
The proprietress said ‘oh’ and did not pay attention again.
The next day, Xiao Yan appeared again. This time, it was still with a group of people, but this time there was no drinking, just eating.
The proprietress recognized these people at a glance, especially Xiao Yan.
When Bei Yutang was serving dishes, the proprietress caught Xiao Yan’s vague gaze on Bei Yutang several times. She could not help but stare at Xiao Yan warily.
She thought Xiao Yan would say or do something to Bei Yutang, but she found that there was no communication between the two of them throughout the whole process. Leaving peacefully after eating, it feels like he just came to eat.
The proprietress patted her forehead.
Hey, it seems that I am overthinking it.
But…
On the third day, Xiao Yan came to the door again, and this time he came to eat alone. One person ordered two dishes and one soup.
The person who ordered for him this time was Bei Yutang. When Bei Yutang came back, the proprietress grabbed her and asked with a gossipy face: “Yutang, did he say anything to you?”
“Yes.”
The proprietress suddenly became interested, and her eyes shone, “What did he say?”
“One portion of fried beef tenderloin with hot pepper, one portion of spicy cabbage, one portion of tomato and egg soup, and a bowl of rice.” Bei Yutang replied truthfully.
“I said it wasn’t this, it was something else.”
“No more. That’s all he said.” Bei Yutang said frankly.
“How is that possible!” The proprietress did not believe it, but looking at Bei Yutang, it did not look like she was lying. Alas, she felt indescribably disappointed.
She always felt that something would happen between the two of them, but the reality told her that nothing would happen, so she was so disappointed.
“Sister Zhou, I have something else to do. I have to go and get busy.”
The proprietress waved her hand weakly.
