Chapter 16 Chapter 16 What's this? I've seen it all. ...
After the afternoon class, Fu Xize went to work part-time at Twilight. Xin Ai still followed him. Fu Xize turned around and looked at him: "You want to come with me to work too?!"
Xin Ai replied pitifully: "You told me last night that you would always be there when I came to see you today, and today isn't even over yet!"
Of course Fu Xize remembered what he had said, but that was out of kindness. He didn't want to reject Xin Ai on the spot as she had already rejected him once. Now that Xin Ai said those words back to him, Fu Xize suddenly felt like he had dug a hole and buried himself in it.
There was no choice but to take Xin Ai to work.
Beijing is an incredibly large city. Fu Xize goes to work across districts, taking the subway and changing trains. His commute takes an hour. It is after seven o'clock when Fu Xize appears in Dusk Kitchen.
Fu Xize's part-time job lasts from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. and includes dinner.
Fu Xize arrived at dusk, washed his hands first, took the plate and put the food on it and handed it to Xin Ai: "Here, eat, it's a working meal, not bad."
Dusk’s work meal was provided by the chef who also prepares snacks for customers. It tasted good and the dishes were plentiful, with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. It looked clean and nutritious.
But this is Fu Xize's work meal, and there is only one portion. If you give it to Xin Ai, Fu Xize will have nothing to eat. Fu Xize is not the kind of person who would ask the chef to make an extra portion for himself. Even if he goes to the chef, he probably won't get one. The portion of the dishes is fixed, and if you give it to other employees, it will be gone.
Xin Ai asked with concern: "What about you!"
Fu Xize didn't say anything. He just took another plate and poured himself a large portion of rice. He also brought over a bottle of Lao Gan Ma. The staff meals at Dusk have limited food but not rice, so he would have Lao Gan Ma rice tonight.
Xin Ai watched Fu Xize give him his work meal and eat Lao Gan Ma rice himself. You can feel the gentleness of this cool guy. Even though they are not familiar with each other in this life, Fu Xize has been taking care of him from last night until now. Although he looks arrogant and fierce, he is very fond of him.
Fu Xize saw that Xin Ai's eyes were as soft as water when looking at him, and he explained coldly: "Don't look at me like that. I ate your breakfast this morning, and I'll give you dinner as well."
Xin Ai hummed, stood up again, and brought a bowl over. He shoveled the rice into the bowl and pushed the plate forward: "There are quite a lot of dishes, let's eat together."
Then, he also tried Lao Gan Ma rice.
The crystal clear rice mixed with chili peppers, red oil and fermented black beans is so delicious and fragrant that it is hard to describe.
Xin Ai's eyes lit up immediately: "Laoganma bibimbap is quite delicious."
Fu Xize's lips twitched. This person has never consumed too many condiments since he was a child. He would probably be amazed by rice mixed with soy sauce.
Xin Ai was really amazed by Lao Gan Ma. She scooped another spoonful of Lao Gan Ma and ate it with rice. While eating, she sighed: "It's really delicious, but a little spicy."
As he said this, he scooped another spoonful.
Fu Xize watched Xin Ai take spoonful after spoonful of Lao Gan Ma, and suddenly felt like he was leading a bad kid. He was a healthy teenager, but he let him eat and drink too much. He quickly took the Lao Gan Ma, tightened the cap, and motioned to Xin Ai to eat more vegetables: "Eat more vegetables, don't waste them."
Xin Ai glared at him angrily: "..."
The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.
You can eat Lao Gan Ma rice, but why can't I?
Fu Xize glanced at him, then simply stood up, took the Lao Gan Ma away, and locked it back in the cupboard so that he could never eat it again.
Xin Ai: “…”
Xin Ai ate the food with tears in her eyes. Fortunately, the Dusk employee meal tasted good. For a person who had been depressed for a long time and had a poor appetite and could not taste the food, it was a blessing in life to be able to feel the beauty of food again.
After dinner, Fu Xize began to pack up for work.
After all, bartending is a service industry, and a rather particular service industry at that, which requires not only that you dress appropriately, but also that you have good personal hygiene habits. Fu Xize started brushing his teeth, washing his face, combing his hair and changing his clothes as usual. However, tonight was different from the past, as Fu Xize had a little tail tonight.
The little tail even watched him brush his teeth with interest.
Fu Xize fell into deep thought. What's so interesting about brushing teeth? Open your mouth, rub the toothbrush with toothpaste on your teeth to create bubbles, rinse your mouth... this set of actions is not very elegant if you look closely, but Xin Ai just watches him from the side without feeling bored.
Fortunately, Fu Xize had a strong aura. He finished washing up expressionlessly under the gaze of the prince, and went to the staff rest area to change clothes.
Xin Ai obviously still wanted to stare.
This time, Fu Xize stared back. There was nothing wrong with brushing teeth, washing face and combing hair, but watching her change clothes was... a bit too much.
Xin Ai got Fu Xize's look, smiled wickedly, and said, "What's the big deal? I've seen it all."
Really, when it comes to Fu Xize, he has seen all kinds of scenes.
This is just child's play.
Fu Xize felt like he was being teased, so he started to talk nonsense: "Have you seen this in your previous life?!"
Xin Ai laughed: "Hey, how did you know?! You remembered it."
Fu Xize ignored him, closed the door, locked it, and changed his clothes.
Xin Ai heard the sound of the door being locked from inside and spread his hands.
This is to prevent thieves.
Since you can't prevent it, it's better to fall in love with him earlier and enjoy his lifelong care.
Fu Xize moved quickly and changed his clothes in just a few minutes.
The top button of his white shirt was buttoned tightly, and the buttons of his black vest were fastened tightly to show off his narrow waist. He stretched out his long legs and walked towards the bar hall, rolling up his sleeves and putting on the cuffs. His movements were casual, but he looked inexplicably graceful when doing them.
As his sleeves were rolled up, Fu Xize's slender and strong arms were exposed.
Xin Ai looked at his arms and easily recalled that in his previous life, Fu Xize would always hold his hand, or put his arm around his shoulders or hug his waist. In short, he was very clingy and clingy.
Xin Ai never cared about those times, but they became shining again after she completely lost them in her new life.
For a moment, Xin Ai was dazed and absent-minded.
Fu Xize saw that the little tail didn't follow him and quickly turned around and called him: "Follow him."
Bars are a mixed bag, and since Fu Xize has brought this person here, he has to take responsibility. With Xin Ai's face that can attract both men and women, it would be unsafe if he doesn't keep him under his nose. If anything happens to him, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Xin Ai looked over and saw the young Fu Xize. He came back to life and chased after him with a smile, not forgetting to explain: "He's so handsome. I was stunned."
Fu Xize didn't want to pay attention to anyone. Why did he call someone over to tease him?
Seeing that Fu Xize was pretending to be cool and ignoring him again, Xin Ai whistled at Fu Xize in a frivolous manner.
Fu Xize glanced at Xin Ai, and five big words inexplicably emerged in his mind: When you are well fed and well clothed, you will think about sex.
Considering that the object of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's lust was himself, Fu Xize's expression was a little subtle, but he ignored it, strode to the bar, and cleaned it up again before actually going to work.
Xin Ai naturally followed him and sat at the bar to watch him clean up.
Bartender is a very interesting profession. Xin Ai is deeply fascinated by Fu Xize. She even watches Fu Xize cleaning the bar without blinking.
Fu Xize suddenly thought of something, called the waiter, and ordered a large glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for Xin Ai, which was charged to his account.
Autumn is the season of abundant fruits and vegetables. Navel oranges are already on the market in October. Fu Xize just glanced at the kitchen. They are all new goods that arrived today. They are very fresh and it would be a pity not to eat them.
Orange juice is not very popular in bars and other drinking places, so the kitchen quickly squeezed it and served it up.
Fu Xize had already washed his hands again. He looked at the orange juice in front of him. He was too lazy to decorate it. He just inserted two straws and pushed it in front of Xin Ai.
Xin Ai glanced at him, and then, in a nightclub like Dusk, sipped...orange juice.
The orange juice of this season is fresh and sweet. Xin Ai took a sip and it was sweet. Then he looked at the cup. It was a big cup, full of vitamin C and also full of Fu Xize's love for him.
Xin Ai held the orange juice and had all kinds of random thoughts in his mind, while observing the bar out of boredom.
The business at Dusk was very good. At just eight o'clock, customers started to come in one after another and the seats were quickly filled. As soon as Fu Xize entered the bar, he started making cocktails without stopping.
As a new bartender, he is mainly responsible for mixing some special cocktails, while the classic cocktails are mixed by the master mixologist at the side.
In 2013, the domestic cocktail culture was far from being as prosperous as it is later. Many cocktails were unpalatable, with a spicy and irritating taste. After taking a sip, you wouldn’t want to try another one.
The drinks prepared by Fu Xize are first and foremost delicious and in line with the drinking habits of Chinese people. He is very talented in mixing cocktails and has some unique recipes. He can make drinks that are beautiful, delicious and long-lasting.
Perhaps at the beginning many customers ordered drinks because of Fu Xize's face, but after tasting the special cocktails he mixed, they would think "Wow, this wine is good", and then call their friends to come over to drink together. Naturally, they can't help but share the delicious wine with others and drink it together.
So, even though he was just a new bartender, Fu Xize was mixing cocktails one after another without any rest time.
Fu Xize had obviously become famous in Twilight with his looks and cocktail-mixing skills. Many girls would take out their mobile phones to take pictures of him and the cocktails he mixed and post them on their Moments or QQ Space, checking him in like a landmark and sharing them. Xin Ai also followed suit and took pictures of Fu Xize mixing cocktails and the orange juice that Fu Xize gave him. There were also some brave people who came over to chat with him, but Fu Xize was very cold. Apart from ordering and mixing the cocktails in a businesslike manner, he didn't say a word and soon chilled them out.
Some people also tried to flirt with Xin Ai, but Fu Xize stared at them with a cold look. When the other party received such a look, they knew that Xin Ai was taken and could only leave in disappointment.
Xin Ai was well protected.
Before ten o'clock, the bar still feels a bit like a quiet bar, the lights are deep and quiet, and the folk singer sings lazily and slowly with his guitar.
At ten o'clock, the bar officially opened. After the band performed, a sweet and cool DJ wearing fishnet stockings came on stage, and the dusk suddenly turned into a lively and explosive disco bar.
Xin Ai thought it was quite interesting at first and felt that going to the bar was a good experience. He observed the guests and looked at the bar decoration, accumulating scenes and materials for himself. But from less than eight o'clock to now after eleven o'clock, Xin Ai was a little bored, and the dance music was really loud, and he even finished his orange juice.
Finally, I was really bored, so I took out a sketchbook from my bag and planned to draw Fu Xize.
At this point, the bar is at its most lively, with laser beams spinning rapidly in the room and the beautiful female DJ starting to play exciting and hot dance music.
Xin Ai actually paints in such a place.
Fu Xize…it was hard to put into words. He couldn’t help but say, “You don’t need your eyes anymore.”
The live music was too loud, Xin Ai couldn't hear clearly, he shouted back: "What?"
Fu Xize leaned down and tried to talk to Xin Ai.
Xin Ai cooperated by straightening his body and leaning forward to listen.
Because of his disfigurement in his previous life, Xin Ai developed many little habits. He would subconsciously show his intact right face instead of his left face covered with scars.
At this moment, Xin Ai put his right ear to listen.
Fu Xize bowed slightly and leaned over, and saw Xin Ai's fair and round earlobe right in front of him. There was only a small hole on the earlobe with a sapphire earring hanging on it. The earring was shaking slightly as he leaned over.
The scene was inexplicably eye-catching, and Fu Xize's Adam's apple rolled.
Fu Xize almost heard the sound of his Adam's apple sliding. He felt that the sound was so loud that anyone could hear it. However, reason told him that over the background sound of the hot dance music, it was impossible for Xin Ai to hear this slight sound.
Fu Xize struggled to regain his consciousness. He raised his voice and said, "You don't need your eyes to paint in such a light."
When Xin Ai heard these words, he smiled, and his sapphire earrings swayed. This scene in the dimly lit bar was so beautiful that it made people's heart tremble.
Fu Xize suddenly couldn't take his eyes away.
