Chapter 37 Overtime

The peaceful days continued, and the time working in the coffee shop was coming to an end. Mo Chuan really came every few days, just in time for Li Nuo to get off work.

"Ahaha, I've never seen you wear that suit before." For example, now, Mo Chuan was sitting there sighing.

"There's nothing I can do. It would be inconvenient for me to wear that to work." Li Nuo was drinking a glass of boiled water.

"But it doesn't matter. My part-time job will be over in a few days. I will pick you up then." He said with a smile.

"Can't you just let me have a good rest?" Li Nuo looked helpless and agreed with him casually.

Her fingers fiddled with a bunch of beautiful embroidery flowers on the table.

Now that he was off work, the two of them were just chatting casually.

"You really don't have to go to work? I see Li Yan still works overtime sometimes." He was also very surprised at Mo Chuan's idleness.

"My job is different from theirs. I'll take you to visit the company some other day." Mo Chuan supported his chin with one hand and stirred the coffee in the cup with the other.

"I'm more curious about your all-round secretary." Li Nuo recalled the content of the novel. The author only mentioned briefly that Mo Chuan had a capable assistant, and his name seemed to be...Liu Ming?

The two were chatting in a random manner, and suddenly Li Nuo's hand, which was fiddling with the bouquet, froze.

His eyes turned to the outside of the floor-to-ceiling glass.

There it is again, that sight.

I don’t know if I didn’t sleep well these past few days, but I often felt someone was watching me when I was working in the coffee shop.

Unlike the admiring looks from the customers, this look was full of pure malice.

Let yourself feel a chill the moment you feel it.

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Mo Chuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Nuo shook his head. "Nothing?"

It may not be directed at me, and besides, I didn't see anyone.

Maybe it's just my own illusion.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard the sound of someone opening the door.

"You are here again." It was a familiar voice.

Li Nuo, who had his back to the door, turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "Li Yan!"

He stood up and greeted her, "Why are you here? I'll go get you a glass of water."

Li Yan smiled at him, but when he looked at Mo Chuan, he changed his expression to an angry one.

He suppressed his anger, walked over, slammed the document in his hand on the table, and said with a twisted face: "You should not be absent from your post if you know you have work to do in the afternoon. Moreover, you even turned off your cell phone! Secretary Liu has been looking for you."

Mo Chuan then slowly picked up his phone, as if remembering something, "Oh, my phone is out of battery. I forgot to charge it last night."

"Anyway, hurry back to the company. No matter how omnipotent Secretary Liu is, there are some things he can't do," Li Yan frowned as he said this. "Some employees have been restless recently."

Mo Chuan also became serious, but in a flash he returned to a nonchalant attitude and sighed sadly, "I know, oh, I shouldn't have agreed to join the company in the first place."

Li Nuo happened to come over with some water. Seeing the two people standing up, he tilted his head and asked, "Are you going back?"

Before Li Yan opened his mouth, Mo Chuan sighed pitifully, "Yes, the workers were arrested."

Li Nuo handed the water to Li Yan and asked him to drink a few sips. He looked at Mo Chuan speechlessly, "You won't get any sympathy when you say this to a worker like me. It just makes me want to punch you."

".......I'm so sad." Mo Chuan made a tearful face.

Li Nuo didn't buy his trick and pushed him out, "Go away! You really have to let my brother come to find you in person."

Mo Chuan followed his force and walked out. "I think he was very happy to come here."

After saying goodbye to the two people, Li Nuo walked towards the bus stop.

"Hmm——" He had just taken a few steps when he shuddered again. There it was again, that malicious gaze.

He stopped and looked around, but saw nothing.

"Terrorists?" Li Nuo thought about it and realized that he didn't have any enemies with anyone, so this couldn't possibly concern him.

He was careless and put the matter aside, wondering whether he would have to go to the hospital again after finishing his part-time job.

Placing his hand on his heart, feeling the faint beating, Li Nuo sighed, what a weakling.

I hope it will get better after this surgery.

Thinking about the small amount of money he would get at the end of this part-time job, he narrowed his eyes happily.

He walked briskly towards the station.

On the last day of his part-time job, Li Nuo was communicating with his manager in the coffee shop.

"Xiao Nuo, it's the last day, please help me and work overtime. I've asked for leave today for your man because of something at home." He Chang looked distressed, "I'll give you three times the salary."

He felt sad when he thought that this eye-catching treasure chest would no longer be in front of him tomorrow.

I thought about letting Li Nuo stay here permanently, but he explained with an embarrassed look on his face that it was not that he didn't want to do it, but his body wouldn't allow it and he would be hospitalized tomorrow.

Looking at the pale little face, He Chang understood and could only pat him on the shoulder and say, "I'll come over and treat you to dinner after I recover."

Now, it is a special situation, and Li Nuo can only take over a little.

"You don't have to go too late. You can leave at eight o'clock. By then there will be fewer customers." He Chang explained.

Li Nuo thought about it and realized that Li Yan had to work overtime again tonight, so he said it would be fine to just finish it this time.

It’s okay for him to go home by himself. Li Yan has already packed the things needed for hospitalization.

After moving his body, he didn't feel tired yet. There were fewer customers today. In that case, he nodded and said, "Okay."

He Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but still reminded her: "If you really feel tired, forget it, just go home directly."

Linuo looked around the store. It seemed that the summer vacation was over and there were fewer customers. He replied, "It should be possible."

Li Nuo returned to the staff office, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Li Yan to inform him that he would be working overtime in case he got home first and couldn't find anyone and got anxious.

Five seconds later, Li Yan called.

Li Nuo blinked in surprise. So fast?

He answered the phone and a worried voice came over.

"Brother, is it okay for you to work overtime?"

Li Nuo leaned against the counter, relaxed his body, and replied: "Don't worry, the summer vacation is over these few days, there are fewer customers, and I don't have to stand all the time."

"But... we have to go to the hospital soon."

"Yeah, we'll be staying in the hospital for a long time, so let's play outside for a while."

"......." Li Yan understood his thoughts and spoke reluctantly, "Okay, then brother, be careful when you go back."

"Yeah, I will." Li Nuo chatted with him for a few more sentences. Before he hung up the phone, he heard a noisy sound coming from the other end.

"Li Yan, what's wrong with you?"

The current hissed, and after a while, a gentle voice came: "You are working overtime today. I was thinking of looking for you later."

It was Mo Chuan's voice.

This guy started slacking off again just a few days after being arrested.

"You'd better work hard and don't make things difficult for your secretary. Besides, do you want to steal my brother's cell phone too?" Li Nuo said unhappily.

"Ah, I have to work overtime today too," Mo Chuan's voice was a little sad, but he soon calmed down, "How long will you work overtime?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening. What's wrong?" Li Nuo asked curiously.

"I'll come pick you up. I'll finish my overtime work before you do."

"Eh?" Even though the person in front of him couldn't see his current appearance, Li Nuo still widened his eyes, "This...is not necessary."

"It's settled then. I'll come find you."

Before he could respond, the call was hung up.

Li Nuo held the phone in his hand blankly for a long while before he uttered, "At least let me talk to Li Yan."

He looked at the phone that no longer responded and sighed, hoping that Li Yan wouldn't get furious.

In the company, Li Yan, who was being held by Liu Ming, had a dark face as he watched Mo Chuan holding his cell phone and making a call.

This guy suddenly ran to Director Qin's floor and happened to see me and my brother talking on the phone. Without saying a word, he robbed them.

He even let Secretary Liu hold him up, how shameless.

"Oh, what a coincidence! Li Nuo didn't have his phone with him when he was working, and I was worried that I would have to work overtime today and couldn't go to see him. But he also worked overtime today. I was so lucky."

Mo Chuan returned the phone and said with a smile.

Li Yan took it in annoyance, and saw the phone light up. Li Nuo sent him a message.

[Don't worry, I won't force myself. I'm going to work now. See you at home in the evening.]

Li Yan sighed helplessly and replied, "Okay."

Watching Mo Chuan taking Secretary Liu back to his office, Li Yan became more and more worried.

During this period, this guy went to see Li Nuo every now and then, and the enthusiasm has not subsided until now. When Li Nuo saw Mo Chuan, he thought it was natural.

Habit is a scary thing. What if Linuo gets used to Mo Chuan's appearance and then...

Li Yan took a deep breath and decided not to think about it now. His brother was about to undergo another surgery, so this matter was more important.

.........

Li Nuo packed up his things. There were not many customers in the store now. After all, not everyone would come to eat desserts and drink coffee so late at night.

Turning his head to take a look at the coffee shop, Li Nuo felt a little reluctant to leave. The employees here were very nice to him and he even learned the skill of making coffee here.

The big red envelope and salary given by Sister Yun have also arrived. Looking at the fatter wallet, Li Nuo finally feels relieved.

After picking up his things, Li Nuo walked out of the staff room and said goodbye to the employees who were still in the store one by one before he walked out of the coffee shop.

He took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was around eight o'clock and Mo Chuan, who had said he would come, had not shown up. Li Nuo sent a message to inform him that he was leaving and asked him not to come.

Putting away his phone and picking up his things, Li Nuo walked into the night.

It's already night time, and there aren't many people working overtime in this area of ​​the park today. The only light is from the street lamps.

The road that Li Nuo took to get to the bus stop was through an area without street lights. It was his first time walking at night.

Feeling a little scared, Li Nuo hugged himself tightly. Although it was a summer night, he could feel a hint of coolness.

Just as he slowly walked to the corner where the street lights could not reach, something unexpected happened.
