As Yu Yunzhi and his group were eating, they suddenly realized that the person serving them had changed; the manager himself was now serving them.
That's not a big deal, but can someone tell her why so many waiters are walking back and forth in this corner?
They never repeat the same thing every time, and the key is that you really can't ignore the stares of those passing by!
Do they realize how obvious they're doing it? It's like a kid preparing to cheat on a test, writing a note and then having to observe the teacher before even taking a peek.
Yu Yunzhi, who was already socially anxious in front of many people, became even more introverted.
Especially since the store manager kept watching her, practically feeding her, Yu Yunzhi was caught in a dilemma: whether to eat or not.
Holding her chopsticks awkwardly, Shao Wenyan noticed her embarrassment and spoke to the manager.
"We don't need any service right now. We'd like to have a quiet meal. Thank you!"
Upon hearing this, the store manager understood what was about to happen. As expected of someone who had risen to the position of store manager, he left immediately, even though he was reluctant to leave, and ordered the staff not to pass by that area.
Finally, it was quiet. Yu Yunzhi didn't dislike them, but their gazes made her feel uncomfortable. Who can eat without feeling guilty while being watched by others?
"As expected of Wen Yan and Yun Zhi, you've only been sitting for a short while and all the staff in the store have come to visit you."
After the store manager and staff left, Director Zhang joked with a smile.
"You're joking, Director. Let me toast you." Shao Wenyan interrupted Director Zhang's teasing, afraid that if Director Zhang continued to tease, the girl next to him would bury her head under the table.
After drinking Shao Wenyan's toast, Director Zhang stood up and said, "Come on, everyone, let's have a toast! It's fate that we're all here!"
The table was full of men, with only Yu Yunzhi as a woman. She picked up her juice glass, ready to toast, when she heard Director Zhang say something.
“Yunzhi, have one too. What’s so special about drinking juice?”
"Ah, I can't hold my liquor well," Yu Yunzhi said with a helpless expression.
"It's alright, it's just one drink, what's the big deal? How can you have a get-together without drinking? If you can't get up tomorrow, I'll give you leave!" Director Zhang clapped his hands and made his decision.
Yu Yunzhi had no choice. Since Director Zhang had already said so, he could only change to a wine glass. It was just one glass; he wouldn't get drunk... right?
She overestimated her alcohol tolerance. After one glass, she didn't feel anything at first, but later she felt her face getting hot and her head becoming dizzy and unclear, making her want to sleep.
The constant chatter in the shop made Yu Yunzhi even sleepier.
Shao Wenyan was the first to notice that something was wrong with the person next to him. Her head was nodding little by little, and her hair was spread out on the side of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
Just as Yu Yunzhi was about to hit her head on the table, Shao Wenyan caught her chin with one hand.
Her face was so small that it could be wrapped in one hand. She rubbed her little face against his hand, behaving sweetly like a little kitten that hadn't woken up yet.
Shao Wenyan felt that he might be a little tipsy, and the hand that was supporting Yu Yunzhi's face couldn't help but pinch her cheek.
Just as he suspected, it felt amazing.
Actually, by this time everyone had almost finished eating and was sitting in their seats chatting.
Director Zhang noticed Yu Yunzhi's condition at this moment. Just as he was about to call her, he saw her open her eyes on her own.
"Yunzhi, your alcohol tolerance is not good. You got drunk after just one cup. You need to practice more."
Yu Yunzhi felt as if someone pinched her face. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Shao Wenyan withdrawing his arm, and she sobered up considerably.
What's going on?!
Was it her imagination? It seemed like her idol had pinched her cheek.
No way! It's definitely not what she thinks. It must be that her idol saw she was too sleepy and helped her out.
Upon hearing Director Zhang's words, Yu Yunzhi smiled but remained silent.
"How are you? Can you still hold on? Otherwise, I'll call your driver to pick you up."
Being a girl after all, Director Zhang knew to show some concern after making jokes.
"Ah...no need, no need, it's very close to my home, I can walk back by myself."
Yu Yunzhi looked around and saw that Xiaoyu was chatting enthusiastically with the people at her table. She didn't want to bother her, since this place was just across the street from her apartment complex.
"That won't do. Never mind, I'll find a staff member to take you."
She's a popular female celebrity, and she's been drinking late at night. How could Director Zhang possibly let her walk alone?
Just as Director Zhang was struggling to find someone to contact, Shao Wenyan said, "I'll come. We live in the same neighborhood."
Director Zhang slapped his thigh: "That's perfect, Wen Yan, you take Yunzhi there! Be careful on the road."
Yu Yunzhi was now completely sober.
"No... no need to trouble you, Teacher Shao, I can go back by myself."
"No trouble at all, it's just on the way."
Before Shao Wenyan could speak, Director Zhang's voice came over, "Also, Yunzhi, why are you still calling me Teacher Shao? We've known each other for so long, why are you still so distant?"
Yu Yunzhi clicked his tongue in disbelief and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Wen Yan."
"Let's go." When Shao Wenyan heard the words "Brother Wenyan," his heart trembled.
Having grown accustomed to being addressed as Teacher Shao, the sudden change in address not only made Yu Yunzhi uncomfortable, but also made Shao Wenyan feel awkward.
No one had ever called him Brother Wen Yan before, so hearing this title for the first time felt both novel and exciting.
Shao Wenyan didn't know whether it was because of the title or because of the person who used it.
He couldn't explain it clearly yet, but he knew that his feelings for Yu Yunzhi were not right.
He needs time to sort things out.
Shao Wenyan picked up the mask and hat from the table and handed them to Yu Yunzhi, gesturing for her to put them on. The two then went out.
As soon as Yu Yunzhi left the hot pot restaurant, a gust of wind made him feel the effects of the alcohol kick in again. He squinted and staggered, making the trees seem to have double images.
She almost lost her footing and fell down the steps, but luckily a strong arm caught her.
"How are you? Can you still walk?"
Yu Yunzhi felt that the sound was not very clear, so he looked up at the source of the sound and shook his head.
Looking at Yu Yunzhi looking up at him, Shao Wenyan inexplicably recalled the feeling of pinching his cheek just now, and his hands started itching again.
"Hold me tight, let's get ready to cross the road."
Yu Yunzhi obediently took Shao Wenyan's arm. Drunk, Yu Yunzhi was very obedient and would do whatever he wanted.
Shao Wenyan seems to have made some new discovery.
The road was only so long, and they arrived at their doorstep in no time. Shao Wenyan first escorted Yu Yunzhi to their door and watched her enter the house safely before going back himself.
Yu Yunzhi had just arrived home when Xiaoyu called.
"Sister Zhizhi, why did you leave without waiting for me? Where are you now?"
“I just got home. I saw you hadn’t finished eating, so I didn’t call you. It’s so close to home, I just walked back in a couple of steps.”
"That won't do either. It's too dangerous, especially at night. You'll have to call me next time."
"We're home safely now, you should go back to your hotel and rest early, and be careful!"
"Okay, Zhizhi, go to sleep now, and remember to remove your makeup!"
"Okay, little housekeeper, bye-bye~"
"See you tomorrow, Zhizhi! Get some rest!"
