“Not spicy, not spicy at all.”
Mo Jingchun, with his lips stained with red oil, chose to be tough on the outside, but his body was honest as he picked up a glass of water and gulped it down.
"If you can't eat spicy food, don't force yourself," Jiang Li, who was sitting opposite him, said helplessly. Then she skillfully picked up a chili pepper and put it in her mouth, eating it with white rice.
For Jiang Li, who doesn't like spicy food unless it's spicy, this level of spiciness is just child's play.
"Awesome," Mo Jingchun gave a thumbs up. He had just eaten a baby cabbage covered with chili oil, and it was so spicy that he couldn't stand it. He didn't expect that Jiang Li could actually eat chili peppers directly.
"Jiang Li, is this your boyfriend?" The female clerk who had spoken to Jiang Li a long time ago came over with a bowl of rice and sat next to Jiang Li, looking gossipy.
Jiang Li's expression froze and he shook his head, "No, we are just friends."
"Friend," the female clerk looked incredulous and glanced at Mo Jingchun opposite her.
Mo Jingchun didn't say anything, but just stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into his bowl.
The female clerk was a little embarrassed. She had just seen the two of them chatting animatedly and mistakenly thought that Mo Jingchun should be the kind of enthusiastic and handsome guy, so she wanted to come over to get to know him. Who knew that they stopped talking as soon as she arrived.
Although it was awkward, the female clerk still greeted Mo Jingchun, "Hi, hello."
Mo Jingchun still didn't say anything, as if he couldn't see the female clerk.
The female clerk finally understood what was going on. She stood up, said goodbye to Jiang Li, and returned to her original seat.
The female clerk secretly looked at Mo Jingchun. The latter's tall figure and handsome appearance made her feel amorous. She felt a little sad that it was a pity that she couldn't get to know such a handsome guy.
But no matter what they thought, work still had to continue, because the female store manager had already started urging them to prepare for work in the afternoon and evening.
After Jiang Li and Mo Jingchun finished packing, they pushed open the glass door again and went outside.
…………
At night, the pedestrian street of Mouda Plaza is bustling with people.
A seemingly ordinary Sichuan restaurant on the pedestrian street has unexpectedly become popular. The reason for its popularity is not because the food is delicious, but because of the two handsome men and beautiful women standing outside the door to greet customers.
"I don't want to add WeChat, thank you."
Mo Jingchun once again and again rejected the request of a golden-haired young lady in front of him to add his contact information.
Mo Jingchun patiently pointed to the Sichuan restaurant behind him and said, "If you're hungry, I recommend you eat here."
"Can I add you on WeChat when I get there?" The blonde girl, with delicate makeup on her face, asked with some anticipation.
Mo Jingchun said expressionlessly, "No."
However, when the blonde girl in front of him still refused to give in, Mo Jingchun suddenly felt the helplessness that Jiang Li had felt when facing the curly-haired boy a few days ago.
"Miss, can I get to know you?" At this time, a boy wearing a sun hat and looking very strong approached Jiang Li.
"Get lost, she won't join." Mo Jingchun was a little exasperated.
"I'm talking to her, why are you butting in?" The sturdy boy stared at Mo Jingchun with some dissatisfaction.
Mo Jingchun naturally wouldn't tolerate him and glared at him mercilessly.
"How about this," Jiang Li interrupted, pointing at the blonde girl, "You get to know this customer."
After Jiang Li said this, the atmosphere between the two people, who were originally on the verge of a fight, suddenly calmed down.
The sturdy boy looked at the blonde girl in front of Mo Jingchun, and the blonde girl looked back at him. In an instant, the two of them seemed to have hit it off, chatting and laughing, and gradually left the Sichuan restaurant.
Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that her casual remark could unexpectedly lead to a couple.
Hearing the gazes on him, Jiang Li turned his head and met Mo Jingchun's eyes.
"well."
The next second, the two sighed in unison and shook their heads.
The night continued and they both got off work at 10:00.
Mo Jingchun had never done such a job before, and he was a little exhausted physically and mentally after the whole day. The main reason was that the group of people just wanted his contact information, and when they didn't get it, they ran to other restaurants to eat as if in revenge. Of course, there were also some normal customers.
"Are you tired?"
Jiang Li stood beside him and walked forward with Mo Jingchun. The two walked side by side, and the evening breeze was very gentle.
"It's okay," Mo Jingchun shook his neck, "It's not difficult for me."
"If you feel bored, you can go find Mo Ling and Xu Fan," Jiang Li said seriously, "You don't have to work so hard during the seven-day National Day holiday. I really don't care if anyone is there to accompany me."
"That won't do," Mo Jingchun shook his head. "I have to keep my word. I hate it most when people lie to me, and I can't lie to them either."
"Besides." Mo Jingchun and Jiang Li got off the overpass and walked to the opposite side of Mouda Plaza. "If you stay like this, what if you run into Curly Hair again?"
"I'm not stupid," Jiang Li retorted, "I'm an adult, there won't be any problem."
"Adult?" Mo Jingchun laughed out loud. "What month were you born?"
Jiang Li was stunned, then he spoke subconsciously, "The seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar..."
"It's July 17th in the lunar calendar. You just turned 17, so why are you pretending to be an adult in front of me?" Mo Jingchun silently noted down the date, but continued to speak unforgivingly.
Jiang Li remembered that she was different now. According to the previous calculation, Jiang Li should be an adult. But her new bone age was 17 years old after that. Strictly speaking, Jiang Li is not yet an adult.
"What about you?" Jiang Li said unconvincedly after figuring it out, "Are you older than me?"
"Alas," Mo Jingchun pretended to be deep and pressed his hand on his forehead to cover one eye, then revealed his left eye between his index finger and ring finger.
"I'm January, so I'm only half a year older than you."
"Did you learn this from Mo Ling again?" Jiang Li looked at Mo Jingchun posing in front of him with a helpless smile.
"Anyway, I'm older than you. I don't like being deceived, and I don't like deceiving others. Remember that." Mo Jingchun's face felt a little hot. He didn't know why he always did these actions that he obviously hated the most in normal times.
Could it be that he was really assimilated by his own sister?
Or just trying to make someone happy?
Mo Jingchun couldn't figure it out. For the first time, he felt very complicated, and he couldn't understand what he was thinking.
"Let's go," Jiang Li came to Mo Jingchun and waved at him, her high ponytail swaying up and down, a little dazzling.
"You have to go to work tomorrow, so you need to get enough rest."
"Okay," Mo Jingchun smiled and raised his leg to catch up with Jiang Li in front.
