Chapter 67: 21. Sister Tong, a cat’s life is also a life_2

The Joker, after a day of battling Batman, still has to personally go grocery shopping then head home to cook; after all, not everyone is as rich as Bruce Wayne.jpg

Aunt Ye, oh Aunt Ye, if it weren’t for Ye Shiyu scratching at my door in the middle of the night, I truly wouldn’t want to leave you!

Yan Huan shook his head and put on his Bluetooth headphones to listen to music.

Beside him, on an empty seat, a fluffy black cat had at some point seated itself with dignity.

It was Miao.

Well, it’s just as well, at least the current Yan Huan has a cat.

It seemed to have appeared suddenly, probably ready to hear Yan Huan give an update on the situation with the modifier, but Yan Huan directly picked up the chubby Miao.

"Meow~"

He looked at Miao in his arms, staring back at him with big eyes, and decided to act first and report later, saying,

"Miao, let me pet you."

"Meow?"

...

...

In the South District, a few streets away from the house Yan Huan rented, a storefront had just opened its doors.

The elegantly decorated European-style bar had its name hanging at the entrance:

"Nursery Rhymes"

At the door, a beautiful woman with her red hair tied back was moving tables and chairs out of the shop.

She wore a black denim jacket, with a white inner shirt tucked into her slim jeans, exuding a relaxed elegance.

After moving a couple of chairs, she leaned against a table behind her, ready to take a break.

A lighter capably spun around her left fingertips, she tilted her head back, a strand of red fringe fell over, partially covering one eye.

On her pretty face, around 27 or 28 years old, the other eye that was visible bore a "life is okay, dying is fine too" indifferent expression.

She rubbed the metal earrings on her earlobes, subconsciously wanting to call that guy over for help, but then suddenly remembered that that guy didn’t work on Mondays.

After not seeing him for a whole weekend, she felt confused.

The other employees of the shop would come a bit later; only that kid would arrive this early to help her with the tables and chairs.

"Um..."

Well, it’s better that he’s not here...

With a despondent look, she lowered her head, and her red lips clasped a lady’s cigarette from her right hand.

"Click~"

The lighter’s wheel scraped, emitting a crisp sound, igniting a flame.

Just as she was about to light the cigarette, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and plucked the cigarette from her mouth.

The woman, whose eyes seemed to have endured life’s beatings, flickered with surprise, and raised an eyebrow.

Turning her head to look, she saw a handsome young man in sportswear holding the cigarette between his fingers, smiling at her,

"Sister Tong, were you just blowing smoke? Didn’t you promise me you’d quit? And you’re sneaking smokes when I’m not around?"

The woman in front of him was Yan Huan’s boss, Tong Yingying, whom Yan Huan generally called Sister Tong.

She was a "grown-up" who had become uninteresting.

"...Nonsense, you believe what adults say?"

Caught by Yan Huan, Tong Yingying was unfazed, her tone tinged with disdain.

She closed the lighter still lit with flame and looked towards the young man she hadn’t seen all weekend.

Tong Yingying crossed her long legs and asked him,

"Why aren’t you resting after class on Monday, and what’s up with those clothes, Cosplaying an athlete?"

"I just got out of class and came straight here before I had time to change."

"What’s the hurry?"

"I wanted to come see you, Sister Tong."

"...Heh, I think you’re just worried about the wages you lost over the weekend."

Yan Huan blinked, smiled, and said,

"I really came to see you, as genuine as a pearl. Trust me, Sister Tong."

Tong Yingying didn’t expose Yan Huan’s pretense; she stood up, walked toward the unlit interior of the bar, and said,

"First go to the dressing room and change your clothes, then help me set up the tables and chairs."

That was her way of telling him to start working.

Yan Huan, looking at the cigarette that Tong Yingying had tasted, realized something and followed her into the bar,

"You can’t be serious, Sister Tong, it’s not even five o’clock yet..."

Watching her listlessly walk behind the bar, proficiently taking out glasses and ice cubes.

Without even looking that way, Tong Yingying extended her fair fingers over the neatly arranged bottles on the back shelf, as if waiting for her to select one, lightly touching across them.

Finally, her finger rested on the lid of a bottle of opened liquor.

It was a fruit candy series whiskey, Allen 10 years.

"I’m not in a good mood today... and I just got up, so it’s perfect for waking up."

While pouring the drink, she uncharacteristically explained to Yan Huan.

"It won’t wake you up for shit..."

Yan Huan threw the cigarette tasted by Tong Yingying into the trash can, approached the bar, and asked,

"But why are you in a bad mood? Tell me about it."

"Why should I tell you?"

"To cheer me up."

"...Your wages are cut by 200."

Tong Yingying completely ignored him, coolly delivering her judgment, nearly causing Yan Huan to lose his smile.

"I was wrong, Sister Tong."

"Idiot, don’t you know your wages haven’t been paid this month? Stop kidding around, you think you can slyly slip past me?"

It was just a joke.

Yan Huan had been working here for nearly a year; he knew Tong Yingying very well. Besides a few bad habits, she usually wasn’t difficult, and she was generous with money.

Their banter was a regular thing.

"...But Sister Tong, according to my experience, it’s best to talk about things that make you unhappy."

"Huh, according to my experience, telling others about sad things is just preparing a knife in advance for that person to stab you with someday..."

She finished pouring the drink, picked up the glass, and slightly swayed it, watching the crystal-ball-like round ice cube dance and spin in the whiskey.
