Chapter 33 Not Like Myself Anymore
The four of them formed a three-to-one situation, and in just a few words they had already charged Su Xing with harassment, but Li Nuo and Su Xing really did not do anything out of line.
He moved a little closer only because Linuo was asking him for advice on how to make coffee.
After all, he had never handled this matter before in this part-time job, so he started learning how to make coffee, thinking that he would learn something even after the job ended.
It just so happens that we are not too busy now. Actually, making coffee is not originally a job for just two people, but Su Xing is a veteran employee and he still knows how to do it.
"So, add a proper amount of sugar, or just don't add it and let the customers add it themselves." Su Xing instructed Li Nuo.
There are quite a lot of coffee types in the store. Su Xing starts with the simplest one. As for latte art, don't think about it for now.
Su Xing taught very seriously, and Li Nuo also studied very seriously.
Realizing that Li Nuo had made a wrong move, Su Xing reached out to stop him, but he used too much force and accidentally knocked down Li Nuo, who was tiptoeing and had lost his balance.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and grabbed Li Nuo's arm, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hit anything, did I?"
He knew that Li Nuo was in poor physical condition and was afraid of hurting him.
Linuo steadied himself and said, "It's nothing, just coffee..."
Su Xing turned his head and saw that the coffee had spilled all over the table, some even splashed onto Linuo's clothes.
"Let's clean it up later. Come here first and wash your clothes. Otherwise, you will have to face the guests in the afternoon wearing clothes full of stains."
"I'll do it myself."
"There are places you can't reach, turn around a little, and it's my fault too."
Seeing the two people getting closer, Li Yan suddenly stood up from his seat, with an inexplicable aura burning throughout his body.
Secretary Yang quickly stopped him and said, "What are you doing? I'm just cleaning the clothes. Li Nuo still has to work in the afternoon. He can't wear dirty clothes."
"Sit down, sit down."
Secretary Yang pressed Li Yan's shoulders firmly and finally got him to sit down. Then the sound of a chair scraping across the floor was heard. It was Director Mo standing up.
Secretary Yang waved his hands quickly and said, "Director, please sit down too. This is a very normal behavior."
He was really tired and felt that he was the only normal person among the people here.
At this time, at the bar, Su Xing stretched out his hand and touched Li Nuo's cheek.
This is also a normal behavior, because the coffee also splashed on Linuo's face. Fortunately, the temperature of coffee is not high in summer. Because both hands are used to tidy up the clothes, Su Xing comes to help him wipe it.
If those people over there hadn't seen it.
Secretary Yang looked at Li Yan who was about to explode, and let go of his hand with a look of giving up.
Sure enough, Li Yan jumped up from his chair and ran straight to the bar.
Correspondingly, Mo Chuan just stood there staring without lifting his feet. Qin Xu also sat up straight and retracted his feet.
Secretary Yang sighed heavily. He couldn't control these two people. So let it be. Sorry for the trouble.
When they walked to the table in front of the bar, Li Nuo had his back to him and didn't see him. Just as Su Xing was about to ask, he heard a loud "bang" that echoed throughout the entire coffee shop.
Li Yan hit the bar counter with his hand. The stainless steel counter did not have a sound-absorbing effect, but instead had an amplifying effect.
It was visibly that Li Nuo was frightened and his shoulders trembled.
He turned around and looked at Li Yan curiously.
"Brother, are you okay?" Li Yan became quite panicked. He did not expect that hitting the table would make such a loud noise. He just wanted to attract Li Nuo's attention.
He immediately wanted to look across the bar at Linuo.
But Su Xing stopped him, "You can't do that, this is a restricted area for non-employees."
Li Nuo was about to say that he was going out, but he felt suffocated and changed his words: "I'm going to the bathroom first and will come to you later."
Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, he immediately ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
“Hahaha…”
His rapid breathing and the flashing red light on his watch reminded Linuo that his heart rate was too high.
“Is it possible that I would feel pain just by being scared? This is too weak.” Li Nuo thought so and tried his best to calm his breathing and slow down his heartbeat.
“Huh…Huh….”
No wonder he needed surgery right away.
Unlike the allergic reaction that caused numbness and itching all over the body and a feeling of suffocation, now I feel dizzy.
Linuo closed his eyes and exhaled slowly.
A feeling of grievance arose in my heart, as if the remaining emotions of the original owner were saying: See, it's useless. Just being scared will make my body uncomfortable.
He leaned against the wall, and the cool feeling seemed to calm him down a lot.
Feeling that it was not good to be away for so long, Li Nuo opened his eyes and came to the mirror.
He scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
The face that had finally regained some color turned pale again because of this.
Linuo rubbed his face vigorously, trying to make it redder.
Just as he was doing this, the door opened and the person who came in was Qin Xu. He looked at Li Nuo who was rubbing his face and closed the door.
Li Nuo put down his hand. Since someone had come in, he was ready to leave. It would not be good to disappear for too long.
But Qin Xu did not move. His tall body stood between Li Nuo and the door, blocking them tightly.
"Um, the Director?"
Li Nuo looked up at him in confusion. Although she was no longer afraid of Qin Xu, to be honest, it was still quite stressful to be in the same space with him.
Especially when the other person is obviously holding you back.
"Looks like it's calmed down?"
"What?"
"Your heart is dirty, are you scared?"
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, "A little bit, but now he's already... a director!?"
He didn't say the rest because Qin Xu grabbed his wrist, the one with the watch on it.
Seeing the numbers displayed on the watch, Qin Xu frowned slightly.
"Your heart rate is still a little high. What is normal?"
Qin Xu didn't understand this. It should be said that people who don't have this problem won't deliberately try to learn this knowledge.
"............"
Li Nuo did not answer, but was shocked.
Could it be that he came here because he was worried about me? This Qin Xu?
No, no, no, don't be so narcissistic.
Li Nuo rejected his own guess. The other party was only interested in Li Yan from the beginning to the end.
He wanted to take his hand back, "It's just a little high, it will be fine in a while."
Qin Xu let go of the wrist he was holding, but did not let go.
The wrist in his hand is so small that there are many extra fingers after going around it. I feel like it will break if I use too much force. I felt it when I held it before when I had an allergy. This guy is really skinny.
He stared at Linuo's face, and reached out to touch his cheek when he saw his puzzled look.
The hand that stroked the cheek was very careful.
Only then did Li Nuo feel that this young master, who should have been living a life of luxury, actually had hands that were very rough to the touch, very similar to Li Yan's hands that had done hard labor.
The rough hand stroked the spot on the cheek that Su Xing had just touched.
Qin Xu rubbed that place with his thumb, as if wiping away something.
"It hurts." Qin Xu's hands were rough to begin with, and it hurt a little when they scratched Li Nuo's delicate skin.
"Hold it."
"But did you get anything on it? I didn't see it when I looked in the mirror just now."
All I saw was a pale face.
As the accumulated pain intensified, Li Nuo naturally began to tilt his head back, trying to avoid Qin Xu's hand, and asked at the same time.
"Is that all right?"
Hearing his voice, Qin Xu finally stroked the skin with his thumb, and then he froze.
"What am I doing now?"
Qin Xu, who had been expressionless till then, showed a flash of panic on his face. He quickly let go of his hand and took a step to the side to make way.
I've been acting on impulse lately, which is totally unlike me.
Li Nuo looked at him strangely, walked to the sink and cooled his cheeks with cold water. He always felt that Qin Xu was using too much force, causing his cheeks to turn a little red.
When I opened the bathroom door, I ran into Li Yan.
His face was full of panic, and he reached out to hold Li Nuo's shoulders. "Brother, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I didn't expect the noise to be so loud. I..."
Li Nuo shook his head. "It's okay. If I feel uncomfortable, I will tell you."
Li Yan's shoulders relaxed a little, and seeing Qin Xu behind him, he asked, "What did you say to the director?"
"Ah, nothing, I just asked him to make way." The image of him touching his face flashed through Li Nuo's mind, and he instinctively felt that it was better not to say anything.
Li Yan looked him up and down, "Are you really okay?"
"It's okay. Speaking of which," Li Nuo raised his finger and tapped Li Yan's chest, "You shouldn't do that in public. It's very rude."
"I know, I'm sorry, but that guy touched you......"
Li Nuo's eyes widened and he raised his voice a little, "He was just helping me clean the coffee stains. Don't frame a good guy."
Li Yan curled his lips, "I know."
Li Nuo shook his hand off and pushed him out, "Let's go, you have to go to work this afternoon, and so do I."
"I want to work in the same unit with you so that we can go to get off work together."
"Don't say such unrealistic things."
After the two of them walked out, Li Nuo gave Su Xing an apologetic smile, and the other shook his head to show that he didn't care.
Li Yan returned to his seat in a depressed mood and waited for Qin Xu to come out. He was obviously his brother, but he was the one who was scared. Then, Qin Xu was the first to notice that something was wrong with Li Nuo. Mo Chuan must have noticed it too, but Qin Xu acted the fastest.
Li Nuo returned to his workstation, and a staff member came over with a smile, "Was that your brother just now? You two don't look alike."
"He's my brother. We are fraternal twins."
"Oh, then, who is your lover?" the staff member smiled nervously.
Li Nuo whispered, "I was just lying to my customers. I didn't want to give out my contact information. I don't actually have a lover."
"Ah—what a waste."
"Hush, keep your voice down, or the guests won't hear you."
The two of them were whispering.
Li Yan watched Li Nuo chatting with his colleagues while cleaning the table.
"Are you leaving?"
"I've been here too long. I still have work to do in the afternoon. Director, aren't you going to the company?"
"Me? I have to wait until Linuo finishes work."
Li Yan stopped packing and asked coldly, "I heard you came here yesterday? And you gave clothes to my brother."
"Yeah, I bought it for him originally. I can't wear that size." Mo Chuan seemed to be deliberately provoking him, "If he doesn't want it, I can only throw it away."
"It suits him very well, that suit."
The words he said unknowingly contained his true feelings. Mo Chuan really thought that the suit suited Li Nuo very well.
At that time, when I saw him coming out of the fitting room, would I feel the same way if I watched him again?
If it is the same...
It was Li Yan's words that interrupted his thoughts.
"Then I'll be frank. I hope you don't get close to my brother."
