“What’s the issue? Wasn’t he supposed to make an apology? Why has he returned?”

As Shang Mingming re-entered, Mu Xiaobai, lounging on the couch, made a jesting remark.

“It’s none of your concern.” Shang Mingming remained in a sour mood.

“Alright, alright, it’s none of my business,” Mu Xiaobai responded nonchalantly, his grin broadening, possibly finding Shang Mingming’s demeanor amusingly charming.

“Knock, knock, knock...” Suddenly, a series of knocks echoed at the door.

“Hey, youngster, answer the door.”

Remaining sprawled on the couch and flipping through TV channels, Mu Xiaobai directed Shang Mingming to get the door.

“Why don’t you do it yourself! I refuse.”

Shang Mingming was naturally rebellious and, given his current foul mood, was even less inclined to comply with Mu Xiaobai’s request.nove(l)bi(n.)com

“I’ll put in a good word for you with your third cousin later,” implying a condition for Shang Mingming to open the door.

“Really?” Shang Mingming’s demeanor brightened instantly, his youthful naivety shining through.

Maybe Xiao Budian went to the kitchen seeking his parents, he thought, ending with a reluctant, “So, it’s up to me to answer the door now?”

Muttering to himself, Mu Xiaobai stood and upon opening the door, he looked at the waiter with annoyance, questioning, “How many times will you knock until you’re satisfied?”

The waiter, confused, responded, “I only knocked once.”

“Only once?” Mu Xiaobai accused, “Are you trying to deceive me? Weren’t you the one who knocked earlier?”

The waiter, taken aback, replied, “It wasn’t me! Didn’t you request red wine? I’ve just arrived.”

“This is your first time coming up?” This made Mu Xiaobai sense something amiss.

He inquired urgently, “Did you see a young boy open the door when you came?”

The waiter answered with a clear “No!” and a prompt “Open the door.”

This response left Mu Xiaobai visibly drained of color.

He exclaimed in disbelief, “He actually dared to make a move?”

Driven by an unknown impulse, Mu Xiaobai dashed out of the room, seething with anger.

Once again, the waiter was left bewildered, caught in a situation he couldn’t understand or escape from.
