she is from the countryside
Was Forced to Eat Melon Again and Again
Shi Yan’s eating speed was neither fast nor slow. In about half an hour, she was almost done eating. She put down her chopsticks and took out a tissue to wipe her hands and the corners of her lips. It was a very normal action, but very pleasing to the eyes.
Not far away, a few girls walked out of the private room. One of the girls happened to see this scene and pursed her lips in disdain. She really saw these kinds of pretentious people everywhere.
“Wanrou, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing. Let’s go.”
“Then where are we going? Are we going shopping? Or are we going to sing? Wanrou, didn’t you say last time that you were going to treat us to drinks and karaoke? Since we still have time, why don’t we go today?”
The girl named Wanrou looked gentle and weak.
When she heard the girl’s words, her expression froze slightly.
“Who goes to karaoke in the middle of the day? Let’s go later.”
“Then we’ll go tonight?”
“Wanrou, let’s go tonight. After the college entrance exam, we’re all bored to death. It wasn’t easy for us to get out of the house. I don’t want to go home so early.”
“That’s right, Wanrou. You don’t know how hard it was for me to go out just this once. I’ve already finished my college entrance exam, but my mom still forces me to study every day. I don’t want to go home so early either.”
..
The girls were all talking at once.
The delicate girl named Wanrou forced out a smile, “Alright, then let’s do it tonight.”
“Wanrou, I knew you were the best! You treat us to dinner and karaoke. Every time you come out, you spend money.”
“What’s the big deal? Wanrou doesn’t lack for money, so she won’t mind.”
“Wanrou is still the best. Her family gives her a lot of pocket money, unlike us, who only have a fixed amount. It’s almost enough for her to eat and buy some daily necessities. She has to spend it sparingly, or else she’ll go hungry.”
“Since we’re only going to karaoke at night, where should we go to kill time in the afternoon? Why don’t we find a cafe to sit down in? Wanrou, what do you think?”
“I still have something to do at noon. You guys go ahead. I’ll contact you guys later.”
“Huh? You’re Going Home?”
“I have something to do.”
“Alright, alright. Then you go home first. We’ll contact you later. It’s a deal. You’re not allowed to lose contact, then.”
“Since you have something to do, we’ll leave first. Mua, I love you!”
The few girls chatted and laughed as they left. As they left, they blew kisses at Wanrou. However, no one waited for her. After a while, she was left standing there alone.
Shi Yan found this scene very interesting.
Were all the girls in the city so interesting these days?
However, she saw the girl named Wanrou look over at her and glare fiercely.
Shi Yan didn’t know what to do.
Their loud voices had attracted the attention of the people around them.
There were quite a lot of people looking at them, so why was the girl only glaring at her? Could it be that she looked especially easy to glare at?
It seemed that it was better to eat fewer melons in the future.
Shi Yan, who had just decided that she would eat fewer melons, was about to leave the restaurant when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
“Young master Su, where are we going now? Let me treat you to a drink.”
Han Yu and Su Mu walked out of the private room.
“Drink in the middle of the day? Are you serious?”
“I’m just kidding. Why are you so serious? I’m just trying to lighten up the atmosphere when I see your serious face.”
However, Su Mu suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction of the restaurant.
Han Yu followed his line of sight, puzzled, but he did not see anything.
“What’s wrong? Did you see someone you know?”
Su Mu frowned slightly and retracted his gaze, “It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” Han Yu asked, jogging after him.
“To the company.”
“Ah, then I won’t disturb you. I’d better go and fool around with my scoundrel friends.”
..
The two of them went downstairs as they spoke.
Shi Yan came out of her hiding place, but she could no longer be seen.
She sighed softly, about to leave, when she heard a voice.
“Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to do this kind of work where I eat? If my friends see you like this, I won’t be able to lift my head!”
Shi Yan turned around to look at the source of the sound.
It was actually another familiar face.
Not far behind her was the bathroom, and in front of the bathroom stood a young girl and a middle-aged woman wearing the restaurant’s waitress uniform.
The woman’s face showed that she had experienced many changes in life, but it was not difficult to see that she had been a beauty when she was young.
The young girl was the one the groups of girls had called Wanrou just now.
“I just found a job, I didn’t know that you would come here to eat with your friends. Wanrou, Mom didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I didn’t do it on purpose?! Don’t you say that every time?! I don’t want to listen to your nonsense anymore! Give me the money!”
“Didn’t I just give you 500 Yuan Yesterday? You spent it all? Wanrou, our family isn’t well-off. You can’t spend money so extravagantly; you have to save it. You’re still young, and if you develop a habit of spending money extravagantly now, it will only harm you in the future…”
“The conditions are not good, the conditions are not good! What else can you say other than that? Who caused the conditions to not be good? If I didn’t have a mother like you, who got pregnant out of wedlock, would I be living like this? Do you know how I lived in school, so that others would not look down on me as a bastard without a father? It’s all because of you!”
The woman sobbed softly, “I’m sorry…”
“I won’t listen to your nonsense! Give me the money!”
The woman looked at her and took out money from her pocket, sobbing and trembling. She was about to take out three bills and hand them to the girl, but the girl snatched them all.
“Wanrou, those 800 Yuan are our living expenses for half a month. You can’t take all of it. Give half to mom, okay?”
The girl ignored her, knocking her to the ground and running away.
She ran in Shi Yan’s direction, her expression changing when she saw Shi Yan standing there.
Shi Yan ignored her, walking past her to the bathroom.
Maybe it was because of Shi Yan’s temperament, but it made the girl feel like she was different from her. The girl was afraid of offending someone she shouldn’t have, so she didn’t dare to scold her for eavesdropping. She simply glared at Shi Yan’s back and left.
“Are you alright?”
Shi Yan walked over and helped the woman who was pushed to the ground get up, all while sobbing.
She wasn’t someone who liked to eavesdrop. However, if she had left just now, it would have been discovered by the mother and daughter, who were arguing.
The person involved in this argument probably didn’t want to be seen, so she hadn’t come out yet. She had planned to wait for them to leave before exiting. However, she didn’t expect that the girl would leave from her direction.
To make the person involved less awkward, she could only pretend to come to the bathroom.
She walked to the bathroom door, not intending to stop. However, she saw that the woman’s hand was broken and bleeding, so she hesitated for a moment before returning to help her up.
“I’m fine, thank you. Sorry for making a fool of myself.”
The woman was obviously very sad, but she did not forget to squeeze out a smile in thanks. It could be seen that she was very well-behaved.
“Do you need me to send you to the hospital to have a look?”
She looked a little seriously injured.
The woman shook her head, “No need, no need. Thank you.”
Shi Yan did not insist any further. She simply looked at the work card on her clothes.
Xuan Liuying? That was a good name.
After coming out of the restaurant, Shi Yan did not leave immediately. She took out her phone and searched for the nearest pharmacy. After going to the pharmacy, she returned to the restaurant’s front desk.
“Hello.”
“Hello, are you the customer who was eating in the restaurant just now? Did you leave something behind?”
Even the cashier at the front desk remembered Shi Yan.
It was not hard to remember her looks and temperament, especially since she came to eat alone.
“No. There is a waitress called Xuan Liuying upstairs who is injured. She asked me to buy her some medicine. I have something to do and have to leave immediately, so can you pass it to her for me?”
“Sure, I’ll get someone to deliver it to her right away. Thank you so much for coming to eat and helping out our colleague.”
“You’re welcome. It was nothing.”
