After finishing a night's guard duty, Cheng Wei followed Dapang into the shadow gate.
"Eleven, you kid should have a good rest after dinner. I won't assign you any work today. I heard that the sect leader is coming in the evening, so you should stay away. If you are not in good condition and something goes wrong, I can't help you." Big Fat patted Cheng Wei's shoulder and warned.
"Okay." Cheng Wei nodded and followed Dapang into the room.
The two men yawned as they passed under the chains and arrived at the cafeteria.
The breakfast was quite rich, with steamed buns, steamed bread, flower rolls, eggs, noodles, and many side dishes.
Fortunately, the lower half of the mask can be removed, so Cheng Wei was not exposed so quickly.
After eating and drinking, Cheng Wei put on the lower and upper parts of the mask and looked around. Suddenly, he saw two people in black clothes flash by the door behind him.
He poked the fat man beside him and pointed in the direction where the man in black clothes disappeared.
Big Fatty had just swallowed an egg when he mumbled, "What's going on? You mean that? You've only been here a few days, so you shouldn't know. Stay away from that place. Behind the cafeteria is the territory of those devil soldiers. If you accidentally walk in, you might end up with nothing but bones."
"Ghost soldiers? So scary?" Cheng Wei looked in that direction and thought it was effortless.
Seeing that he didn't quite believe it, Big Fat lowered his voice and reminded him, "We are human, and those are all ghosts refined by the Lord. You say it's scary? Be careful, otherwise you will accidentally become someone else's meal and your soul will not be able to return."
Cheng Wei nodded quickly and followed Dapang who was going to rest. He glanced at the door that the ghost soldier had just passed by and silently memorized the location in his mind.
After many twists and turns, they returned to their dormitory. The room was not big, with two bunk beds, both covered with bedding. Cheng Wei found a bed to lie down on and closed his eyes.
Big Fatty was speechless. This new kid was really rude. Not only did he sleep in someone else's bed, but he also didn't take off his shoes. He was so unhygienic. He shouldn't have volunteered to take care of him.
"Go sleep in your own bed up there. Be careful, Brother Yong might come back and beat you up for daring to sleep in his bed."
Cheng Wei opened his eyes and reluctantly climbed onto the upper bunk that Dapang mentioned. "My head is confused. Thank you."
Soon, the only sounds left in the dormitory were the snoring.
When Dapang started talking in his sleep, Cheng Wei, who had been snoring just now, suddenly opened his eyes, turned over, got out of bed quietly, and quickly left the dormitory.
......
Xu Yi was sitting in the Black Sweetheart Dessert Shop, slowly savoring the matcha cake in front of her. The refreshing aroma of matcha spread from her mouth straight to her stomach, and even her exhaled breath had a hint of fragrance.
Shop clerk Yu Jie looked at the girl sitting by the window and eating cake slowly. This girl was no different from those other girls who were crazy about flowers. She came here to block the boss whenever she had nothing to do, causing the boss to come here less often in the past few days.
She couldn't help herself and walked over to Xu Yi and said, "Hey, I told you the boss is really not here. Why don't you come back next time? Why don't you go back and read a book? Why waste your time here?"
"I'm here to eat cake. Is there any problem? What does it have to do with me whether your boss is here or not?" Xu Yi crossed her arms and looked at the angry clerk, and couldn't help teasing him.
"You... is there anyone who eats cake like you? You've already eaten more than ten cakes and drank more than twenty cups of coffee, and you're not afraid of dying of fullness." Yu Jie rolled her eyes. "There are more and more girls like you in our store lately."
A sound of wind chimes was heard, and a magnetic voice said, "Yu Jie, how can you talk like that? Apologize!"
Yu Jie's face was filled with joy, yet also with grievance as she said, "Boss, why are you here? I'm not wrong, these girls are attracted to you and that's why they come to block you."
Under Boss Lu's oppressive gaze, Yu Jie's voice became lower and lower. Finally, she apologized to Xu Yi and walked towards the cashier with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu. The clerk was ignorant. Please don't take it to heart." Boss Lu smiled gently at Xu Yi.
Looking at Yu Jie running away crying, Xu Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, Boss Lu, can you sit with me for a while? I want to ask you a question."
Boss Lu pulled out a stool and sat down. "Okay, I'm free now. Miss Xu, please go ahead."
"How does Boss Lu know my last name is Xu? I don't think I've ever introduced myself to you," Xu Yi said.
Boss Lu smiled gently and explained, "I heard your friend call you that last time, so I know your last name is Xu."
Xu Yi couldn't remember whether the cuties from 305 had called her Xu Yi directly last time. "Really? So that's how it is. I had completely forgotten."
Looking at Boss Lu, who looked nothing like that face, Xu Yi was a little distracted and blurted out, "Boss Lu, do you know Lu Fang?"
Hearing the name, Boss Lu was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head: "I don't know this person, is he your friend? Or a classmate?" He then asked the cashier, "Yu Jie, have you ever seen someone named Lu Fang?"
Yu Jie had just wiped away her tears and replied in a sobbing voice: "I don't know him, I've never seen him, I don't know."
Xu Yi looked into Boss Lu's eyes and already had the answer in her heart, "Boss Lu, Lu Fang is a friend of mine. If you ever see this person, please let me know. Sorry for the inconvenience."
Boss Lu nodded, a gentle smile on his face. "Of course, Miss Xu, I'll let Yu Jie keep an eye on it, but I'm often away, so I may not be able to help. Is this Lu Fang, your friend, missing?"
Xu Yi shook her head: "No, we just haven't seen each other recently. Maybe he is busy with his own important things. Thank you for your help, Boss Lu. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Goodbye, Miss Xu." Boss Lu sat on the sofa as he watched Xu Yi pay the bill and leave. He looked at Xu Yi as she walked outside and whispered, "Goodbye, my friend."
"Yu Jie, I'm researching some new products in the attic. Don't disturb me." Boss Lu stood up, turned and walked towards the attic.
Yu Jie had swollen eyes and smiled sweetly: "Okay, boss, do you want something to eat? I'll make it for you later."
"I told you not to disturb me, don't you understand?" Boss Lu stopped in the middle of the stairs, turned to look at Yu Jie and said coldly.
The cold voice frightened Yu Jie so much that she dared not even breathe. She said tremblingly, "I...I...know, Boss. I promise not to disturb you."
"Yu Jie, I'm in a bad mood. Sorry, just don't disturb me. Don't take what happened just now to heart." Boss Lu looked at his trembling employee, softened his voice, and explained.
"Okay, boss, I'm fine. It's my fault. You can go ahead and do your work first." Yu Jie lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her boss.
Boss Lu smiled gently: "That's good, I'll come down when I need to eat. You've done a good job, I'll give you a raise this month, I'll go up first."
Yu Jie nodded, but still didn't dare to look at him, and said, "Thank you, boss."
