CH 3.4

At 10 o’clock. The bar was in full swing, and guests were making a scene. The small company employees are all young, and they can’t get drunk even if they drink too much. The band on the stage roared vigorously, and the rows of goblets hanging upside down on the zenith were rattled as if they were about to fall at any time.

Su Li was so busy. She delivered drinks and juices repeatedly, and she finally had a rest, looked at Chen Jiu mixing wine, rubbed her eyes, and said: “It’s smoky, makes my eyes hurt. I will go blind if it’s like this every day.”

Chen Jiu put the lemon slices away, wiped his hands, and took out a small bottle of eye drops from the counter, “Drop some.”

Su Li took it, raised her head, and dripped a few drops, “Thank you.”

“Waiter!”

Here it comes again.

Su Li stomped her feet in annoyance and snorted a few times at Chen Jiu.

He smiled, “Go quickly.”

Su Li sighed and walked out quickly with her lips pouted, “Yes.”

There was a long table of leftovers and water, and everyone was cleaning it listlessly. Su Li was so tired that her feet hurt, her back hurt, and even her neck hurt.

After cleaning up for half an hour, she sat in front of the stage with her head drooped and looked at Chen Jiu with her hands on her chin. “So tired.”

When did this lady do such rough work?

I’m getting calloused!

Chen Jiu handed over a glass of lemon ice water. Su Li took it lazily, and drank half of the glass in one go.

He glanced at the time, “You’ve already left work. You can go.”

“What about you?”

“Wait.”

“Then I’ll wait too.” Su Li drank a glass of lemon water, and her heartfelt relaxed and comfortable.

Li Guo also sat down after she had done. She was even more tired, delivering food back and forth, her legs were almost broken. Chen Jiu handed over another glass of lemonade, and Li Guo took it while tapping his shoulder weakly, “Thank you, I’m going crazy. I’m getting dizzy from running around.”

Su Li said, “Why doesn’t the boss recruit a few more? It’s really busy having this kind of event.”

Li Gub said: “It seems to be recruiting.”

As he was talking, the boss walked in from the outside with a cigarette, “It’s not early today. Let’s all go back when we are done. Everyone has worked hard.”

“Okay.”

Su Li lay lazily on her stomach, and when she rested enough, she walked into the bar to help Chen Jiu clean up the cups, “Chen Jiu.”

“En.”

“Is your home far from here?”

“Not far.”

“How do you go back?”

“Ride a bicycle.” Chen Jiu saw her listless look, saying, “Go back first.”

“No, I’ll wait for you:”

After cleaning the bar, Su Li followed Chen Jiu and left in a twitchy manner.

The boss looked at the backs of the two of them, smiled, and said to Chef Liu: “This little girl is so fun. She follows Xiao Chen all day long.”

“She has taken a fancy to our Xiao Chen.”

“Xiao Chen is good-looking. It’s normal for the little girl like him.” The boss scratched the back of his head, turned around, and left, “Go back.”

On the other side, Su Li followed Chen Jiu, watching him get on the electric motorcycle and was about to leave and quickly blocked the way, “Wait a minute.”

Chen Jiu wore a mask, and the eyes were pitch black.

Su Li said, “Aren’t you going to give me a ride?” She sat up happily and grabbed his waist, “Let’s go.”

The electric motorcycle shuttled under the shadow of the tree. Su Li raised her hand, untied the black rope that tied her hair, wrapped it around her wrist, and curled it slightly. Her long hair flew messily with the wind, lingering bursts of fragrance.

Chen Jiu quickly went to the bus stop and stopped, “This is it.”

Su Li jumped off the motorcycle, straightened her hair, and was about to speak when Chen Jiu had already driven away, “Chen Jiu!”

He didn’t even look back, so heartless. Su Li sat on the bench and looked at the time. It was already twenty past one. She stood up and waved and stopped a taxi that just came.
