Chapter 5 Chapter 5 I'll still beat you even if I wear an apron
Shucheng’s express delivery is quite powerful.
It was delivered the next day.
The name of the drug is very direct: "Differentiation inhibitor beta special".
There is no need to read the drug introduction again, it is easy to understand.
However, you still need to read the instructions for use.
Shi Yi turned his fingers and found a small line of words on the side of the box.
[Take one pill once a day. A course of treatment is seven days. You can stop taking the medicine after four courses.]
This means that differentiation can only be truly inhibited after twenty-eight days.
Twenty-eight days later he was exactly of age.
This medicine is really like timely rain.
But it’s so expensive and it’s not a panacea.
It takes twenty-eight days to take it, so will he take it?
Let’s talk about it tonight.
If you don’t eat today, there’s no need to eat later.
Shi Yi threw the medicine bottle into his schoolbag.
After telling Xu Zhuru that he was going out, he rode his bicycle out of the yard.
He goes to the library every weekend, but he doesn't spend the whole day there.
His backpack was stuffed with books, medicine bottles, and a set of coffee shirts.
He rushed to the cafe opposite the library at eight o'clock in the morning, where he worked half a day every weekend.
-
Work clothes in the cafe are divided according to gender.
Beta is a white shirt with gray overalls and a brown apron, which is also the most common style.
Omega wore a light blue shirt and a pink apron with the hem of the apron in the shape of a princess skirt.
Alpha...The only boss in this store is an alpha, so there are no work clothes.
Shi Yi works the morning shift, preparing ingredients.
Starting from transporting coffee beans, cleaning the coffee machine and ice machine, and then grinding and packaging the beans.
Some office workers are used to drinking a cup of coffee to wake themselves up in the morning, and they wait for it before their shops open.
The work of preparing ingredients becomes very stressful, as they have to prepare ingredients and make coffee at the same time.
Shi Yi moved the coffee beans to the shelf, cut them with a pair of scissors, and filled a measuring cup. After his colleague wiped the grinder, he poured the beans in and filled a can of boiling coffee powder.
At this time, a guest stepped in and the wind chimes at the door made a pleasant sound.
Shi Yi walked to the cashier and greeted the customer with a smile: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Morning commuters are in a hurry, and most of them need a cup of espresso.
Shi Yi gestured to his colleague, who prepared the dosage of coffee powder. He took out a small coffee cup, adjusted it in the coffee machine for a while, and then took a cup of espresso.
The whole process only takes three minutes, and the guests leave with their paper cups in their hands, satisfied.
Shi Yi likes this efficient process very much.
Time flies by quickly while you are busy. You don’t need to think or worry. Just finish making one cup after another, and the data in the cash register will tell you how you have done.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, colleagues from the afternoon shift came to take over.
Shi Yi changed out of his work clothes, picked up his schoolbag, and crossed the zebra crossing to reach the library.
He started working here last semester.
It's not about making money, it's simply because he likes the smell of coffee.
Now he finds that working here is also very stress-relieving.
After smelling the coffee for the whole morning, he felt refreshed and could spend eight hours doing homework in the library.
Shi Yi walked out of the locker room, holding the apron he had changed out of. He folded it in his hands and prepared to stuff it into his schoolbag.
At this time, a noise was heard in the cafe.
It was already past mealtime, so most people who came to drink coffee were probably having it as afternoon tea.
He walked into the front hall and caught a hint of alcohol amid the rich aroma of coffee.
Someone drank alcohol.
Want to find fault.
This kind of thing has happened before.
There are many people who come to drink coffee after a dinner party, feeling angry.
Today's afternoon shift is staffed by two female omega colleagues, who are new and may not be able to handle this kind of emergency.
Shi Yi put down his schoolbag, tied his apron back on his T-shirt, and walked over.
"Hello, may I ask—"
Before Shi Yi could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened. He took a few quick steps forward, waved the customer's hand away, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
The omega colleague's pink apron had just been almost lifted up by the customer, revealing her black miniskirt and white stockings underneath.
The omega turned his back, closed his eyes, and his body trembled constantly, completely unable to stop the alpha's aggressive behavior.
"What do I want to do?" The alpha sitting at the table grinned, and the pungent smell of alcohol hit his nose. "Aren't you dressed like this just to serve us? Ask this omega how he feels now. Isn't it an honor?"
"It's my honor, uncle—" Shi Yi clenched his fists.
He pointed to the warning sign on the wall nearby: "See? This is a public place, please be mindful of the impact."
He almost uttered the word "please" through gritted teeth.
The alpha spat, slammed the table, and stood up.
This is an adult alpha, much taller than Shi Yi and with a strong build.
"So you're a beta," the alpha looked down at him, "Know who you are. Just wear an apron and do your job as a waiter. Why are you showing off?"
"What's wrong with wearing an apron?" Shi Yi raised his hand and waved away the alpha's finger that was stretched towards his face. "I can still beat you even if I wear an apron——"
Before the alpha could stretch out his clenched fist in front of him, Shi Yi grabbed it tightly and pushed it down.
Then Shi Yi put his hands on the alpha's neck and pushed his knees up.
The alpha stood up staggeringly, his face covered with blood from his nose.
Alpha pointed at Shi Yi: "Fuck, you——"
Shi Yi simply took a defensive stance in front of him; this alpha's emotions were already difficult to control.
He believed that any attack from Alpha would be resolved by him.
The alpha roared and raised a broad palm towards Shi Yi.
Shi Yi still met the attack with his knife-hand, slashing towards the opponent's palm.
"stop!!"
His knife didn't hit, and the alpha's slap didn't land, so both of them were hit at the same time.
A tall male alpha in a black suit blocked the alpha guest's palm with one hand and pinched Shi Yi's fingers with the other hand.
"If you cause trouble in my store, I will kill you one by one." The alpha in the suit said in a deep voice and pushed the two men to the sides.
"Boss." Shi Yi opened his eyes wide, took a step back and said nothing.
Now that the boss is here, the customer probably can’t continue to cause trouble.
The owner of the cafe is surnamed Xu. He looks like a tough alpha guy. He rarely came to the store before and had only met Shi Yi a few times, let alone spoken to him.
When Shi Yi came for the interview, he was recruited by Beta, who was in charge of the store.
Boss Xu was confronting the alpha customer. The customer seemed to be sober and had lost all his arrogance towards Boss Xu.
Shi Yi took off his apron and turned his head to look at the omega colleague.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
The omega stood leaning against the table, shook his head, and looked at Boss Xu with a worried expression.
"You go in and get busy, everything should be fine here." Shi Yi said.
At this time, the alpha customer pushed open the door and walked out, looking a little embarrassed from behind.
Shi Yi felt that it was time for him to go to the library. He stuffed his apron into his schoolbag, put on his back and walked out.
"Wait." Boss Xu called him.
Shi Yi looked back at him and closed the door again.
"Boss," Shi Yi faced him calmly, "that customer just now sexually harassed our staff. I intervened and my attitude might have been a bit aggressive."
Boss Xu stared at him and suddenly laughed coldly: "Is this your attitude of admitting your mistake?"
Shi Yi asked back: "Did I do something wrong in this matter?"
Boss Xu took a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw the "No Smoking" sign in his store.
"Come with me." Boss Xu turned and went to the second floor.
There were private rooms on the second floor, and a locked room that Shi Yi had never been in.
Only when Boss Xu opened the door did Shi Yi realize that this was the boss's office.
Boss Xu lit a cigarette and sat behind the table, looking at him silently.
Shi Yi remained calm and didn't even wait for the boss to speak before asking, "Are you planning to fire me?"
"Aren't you a part-time worker?" Boss Xu said, "You don't have a signed contract."
"Not signed." Shi Yi said.
Can I just leave without signing a contract?
Shi Yi didn't feel regretful. Although it was not easy to find a part-time job near the library, it was the end of the semester anyway, so he might as well concentrate on studying if he didn't have a job.
"So, I..." Shi Yi pointed outside the door and was about to walk out.
"Do you think you can beat Alpha?" Boss Xu spoke again.
Shi Yi looked at him: "Why not?"
"If that alpha had used all his strength, you would have been crushed to pieces," Boss Xu said slowly. "That's just the ability of an ordinary alpha. Do you believe it?"
Shi Yi was silent.
He certainly had never fought an alpha in his prime.
The alpha just now was probably drunk, and there were big flaws when he attacked, even his steps were a little unsteady, so he acted decisively.
He is not a fool.
He won't confront Alpha head-on.
"I'm not afraid of anyone causing trouble here. If they dare to cause trouble once, I'll make sure they never dare set foot here again," Boss Xu said. "I don't need a beta like you to help me deal with this."
Shi Yi put his hands in his trouser pockets and said, "I'm not doing this for your store. I told you, it's because that omega was sexually harassed, and I can't stand it."
"Is this a way for disadvantaged groups to warm up to each other?" Boss Xu flicked the ash from his cigarette. "That's interesting."
Shi Yi: "Whatever you think."
"I'm just reminding you that you still look like a high school student. Don't do things beyond your ability." Boss Xu waved at him, "Go away."
Shi Yi turned around and left without asking if he wanted to come again tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, you will go to work as usual." Boss Xu's low voice floated out from the door.
Shi Yi still didn't answer.
-
Shi Yi walked to the library, put down his schoolbag, and took out books and notebooks from it.
A bottle fell out.
He picked up the bottle and gently ran his fingers over the words on it.
Differentiation...inhibition.
Be a beta for life.
Boss Xu’s tone just now clearly showed that he looked down on betas and omegas, and he called them “vulnerable groups.”
This is probably how alpha sees them.
When betas are inherently inferior.
But so what?
He was confident that he could become the top beta, and in the future he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those alphas, or even be stronger than them.
Thinking of this, Shi Yi unscrewed the bottle cap and poured out a pill.
I forgot to bring water, so I had to swallow it dry.
He placed the pill in his palm and put his nose close to it to smell it.
It smells a little bit...not too bitter, right?
He picked up the pill and was about to throw it into his mouth when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Shi Yi was startled and his fingers loosened, and the pill rolled to the ground.
???
How can I miss one pill for the twenty-eight-day supply...
Shi Yi wanted to pick it up, but saw the pill roll directly under the feet of the person at the next table.
Damn it.
Shi Yi slammed the table and stood up, only to find that he knew the man who grabbed his wrist.
The lingering ghost of Gong Yulo.
She appeared out of nowhere and had to disturb him while he was taking his medicine.
Everyone else in the library was concentrating on reading, so Shi Yi could only lower his voice and ask, "Are you sick?"
Gong Yuluo didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the medicine bottle, frowned, and asked him, "What is this?"
