Chapter 29 He was joking
Inside the coffee shop, Li Nuo brought a few cups of coffee to the customers' seats and said, "Enjoy your meal."
Ignoring the whispers and intense gazes behind him, Li Nuo let out a breath. He had been working for more than a week and felt like he had gotten used to it without realizing it.
The coffee shop, which originally had average customer traffic, suddenly became popular from somewhere and its business has been getting better and better in the past few days.
Except for lunch time, the restaurant is always packed with customers.
Fortunately, Linuo only needs to work for a few hours. If it were a whole day, his body might not be able to handle it.
The staff were talking quietly while busy.
"Sure enough, it's because of Linuo."
"I just don't know how the news that he works in our coffee shop spread."
"In this information age, this is not easy."
"But, with this kind of looks, why would you want to be a clerk? Wouldn't it be better to be a celebrity?"
"I heard that you are not feeling well?"
"Yes, his face is very pale. Let's prepare something to replenish his blood and qi for him to drink at noon."
The whispered conversation in the backstage could not reach Li Nuo's ears.
The coffee-making staff occasionally came out to take a look, and saw that they were all customers, so there was no time to slack off.
Originally this place was full of companies and there were relatively few students, but now there are many students here and most of the customers are female.
Li Nuo put down another cup of coffee and said, "Please enjoy your meal."
But he was stopped by someone, and the guest asked shyly: "Can you give me your contact information?"
Li Nuo frowned slightly and refused helplessly, "Sorry, I have a lover."
"Ah... no, I was too presumptuous."
Linuo turned and left the table.
Someone asked me about my part-time job on my first day here. This time I couldn't say I didn't have a cell phone, so I had to make up a fictitious lover to refuse.
He silently watched Su Xing rub against him.
"Really?"
"What?" Li Nuo looked over with a strange expression.
"Lover." Su Xing's face was full of curiosity.
Li Nuo glanced at the guests behind him and was about to whisper the truth.
A familiar voice came from three steps away from the counter.
"Of course there is. It's here."
Linuo turned his head suddenly.
"Uncle?"
Mo Chuan's smile suddenly fell. He took a few steps forward and said, "Why uncle again? Didn't I tell you to call me brother?"
Mo Chuan looked at Li Nuo who was looking at him with wide eyes, and reached out to touch his head.
"Call me brother."
Li Nuo took his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
If I remember correctly, Yue Sen Building is not in the same neighborhood as here.
Mo Chuan let him hold his hand and glanced at Su Xing with a cold look.
But he softened his tone towards Linuo, "I came here because you ignored my calls."
".....Contact?" Li Nuo looked confused.
"Yeah, no one responded to my text messages, phone calls, or friend requests. I was very sad."
"ah?"
Li Nuo had no idea. Although he had deleted his phone number, he didn't receive any messages.
Just as he was about to ask, a voice came from the side.
"Lino, you should get to work. The customers are waiting for coffee."
It’s Manager He Chang.
"Sorry," he looked at Mo Chuan, "I don't have time to chat with you now, so that's it."
"No, your part-time job only lasts for an hour. I'll wait here. Give me a cup of coffee." Mo Chuan ordered casually and found a seat to sit down.
Su Xing brought the coffee over and looked at Mo Chuan suspiciously.
"Are you really Linuo's lover?"
"How could it be fake?" He replied with an expression that said I am the real deal.
Su Xing raised an eyebrow, "No one would call their lover "uncle", right?"
"What do you know? That's the fun between us."
"But you denied it."
“That’s also fun~~”
Facing the person who was talking in an erratic manner, Su Xing cast a suspicious look. It would seem strange if he asked any more questions. Besides, there were still many customers in the store, so he had to leave.
But he still approached Li Nuo and asked, "Is she really your lover?"
Li Nuo smiled and shook his head, "He was just joking."
Although I don't know why I am making fun of myself.
"Right, you don't see him as if he were a lover." Su Xing murmured to himself.
Li Nuo's expression at that time was only surprise, not joy.
Only after solving his own confusion did he continue to work with satisfaction.
Li Nuo stood in front of the counter waiting for the kitchen to prepare the coffee. He glanced at Mo Chuan. When their eyes met, Mo Chuan waved and greeted him with a smile.
Li Nuo also smiled at him.
I don’t know if it’s because of the difference in temperament, but Mo Chuan is more approachable.
At least he wasn't the one who killed "himself".
Linuo thought so.
After making a cup of coffee, Linuo put his thoughts aside and continued working.
Mo Chuan picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. It tasted unexpectedly good.
His preference is latte, and he just ordered an Americano, which he drank.
Maybe it was because I saw Li Nuo that I felt unexpectedly good.
His eyes followed closely Li Nuo who was busy moving around the store, and he couldn't help but smile as he looked at the figure.
You work very seriously.
In order to see Li Nuo, he stayed up late last night to prepare all the work, and was busy most of the day today. He finally finished everything and rushed over an hour before he got off work.
To be honest, I was really surprised when I saw Li Nuo's photo on Yun Jin's phone last night, and I immediately asked her for her address.
Having said that, he was about to find out what Qin Xu had done behind his back, but he was suddenly assigned to a business trip, and it was more than a week later when he came back.
Looking at the collapsed MLM company, I feel sad that I missed an interesting thing.
I don’t want to work hard, and going on business trips overseas is tiring.
He joined the company just to help Qin Xu gain power. After all, they had been friends for many years, so he just took up a position.
If it weren't for Qin Xu's request, I would just be an unemployed vagrant who only eats, drinks and has fun.
Therefore, Qin Xu already had a lot of work to do, but he still had the time to clean up that small company.
Mo Chuan narrowed his eyes, feeling very suspicious. What on earth was going on in the mind of his good friend?
He put down his coffee cup and watched Linuo greet every customer with a smile.
Facing that smiling face, everyone was very friendly, and some even asked him to help recommend flavors.
I learned from Yunjin that the maid was hired about a week ago, and she is doing a pretty good job.
I never stop smiling. Wouldn't my face feel sore if I smiled like that?
However, it seems that he likes this job very much.
The waiting time was obviously boring, but when I saw Li Nuo, I didn’t even want to play with my phone anymore.
As soon as the work was finished, Li Nuo went to the back to change his clothes, then walked towards Mo Chuan with his mobile phone.
"You've really been waiting here."
"Of course, it's fun to watch you work."
"......Is it interesting?" Li Nuo frowned. "By the way, how do you know this place? The company shouldn't be here."
"Haha, about this," Mo Chuan blinked mysteriously, "If you have dinner with me, I'll tell you."
"It's only three o'clock now."
"Then come chat and go shopping with me, and I'll treat you to a nice dinner tonight." Mo Chuan pretended to be pitiful, "You know, I don't have many friends."
Li Nuo hesitated.
"Secretary Li has been working overtime recently, so you will have to eat alone when you go back." Mo Chuan continued, "Let's not go shopping, just chat. You must be tired from work, I know a good place to rest."
Li Nuo was tempted. He had been working continuously for more than a week and his small body was really unable to cope with it. Besides, it was quite boring to eat alone.
Thinking of this, he looked up into Mo Chuan's dark green eyes, which were full of expectation. Finally, he nodded, "Okay."
"Then let's leave here first," Mo Chuan stood up suddenly, pulled his wrist and walked out.
"Hey wait, I can walk by myself."
The two walked out amidst the mixed looks of the crowd.
Half an hour later, looking at the magnificent private club in front of him, Li Nuo nodded and said, "Well, this is indeed very relaxing."
"You can have a massage here. Don't worry, I will tell them to be careful." Mo Chuan handed the car key to the waiter and pulled him inside.
Linuo glanced around. This was a private club with extremely good confidentiality. During this period of time after he transmigrated into the book, he would watch TV when he was bored. He even saw a star passing by him just now.
These characters that were not mentioned at all in the novel appeared before him, pulling back the veil of this world and making him realize more and more clearly that this was not just a novel, but a real world.
As he was thinking about these things, he kept staring at the star until he was pulled back by Mo Chuan.
"You're prettier than she is."
"What?" Li Nuo looked at him puzzled.
"You are prettier than her, so there is no need to look at her." Mo Chuan said seriously.
"............" Li Nuo opened his mouth and suddenly felt speechless. He didn't understand what was going on with Mo Chuan.
"Do you like her? Do you need me to get an autograph for you?" Mo Chuan asked gently, but for some reason, his expression looked a little unhappy.
Li Nuo shook his head, "I'm not a fan of celebrities. I just saw a celebrity suddenly appear in front of me, so I couldn't help but look at him a few more times."
"Oh, that's okay." A relaxed tone sounded in my ears.
Li Nuo had no idea what he was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
After enjoying a wonderful head massage, Mo Chuan asked him if he wanted to take a bath in the hot spring. Li Nuo thought of the long scar on his body and shook his head.
Seeing that he was not going, Mo Chuan lost interest too, so the two of them chose a teahouse, ate snacks and chatted.
Of course, what was placed in front of Linuo were drinks and boiled water. After all, tea also contains caffeine.
"By the way, how did you know I worked there?"
"It was by chance. I happened to meet the store manager yesterday."
"Manager? Sister Yun?"
Recalling that the clerk said Sister Yun was fair, wealthy and beautiful, he understood. He guessed it was some kind of fame and fortune.
Mo Chuan's eyes widened, "Why do you call her sister and me uncle? Yun Jin and I are obviously the same age."
"......Because she is the store manager?" Li Nuo said hesitantly.
"......Okay, if you win, I will pay you a salary and you can call me brother." Mo Chuan said as he picked up his phone.
