The bus crossed the urban traffic, listening to the hustle and bustle of the traffic on the street. People looked out the window at the endless neon lights, various sizes of shops. After passing five traffic lights, the bus stopped at the parking lot of the Xin Xing Yuan district in Beigang City. Wang San patted the soon-to-be-sleeping Zhang Xu, while Liu Shuai followed behind. The three walked across the sidewalk and arrived at the main bus road of the Xin Xing Yuan district.
The Xin Xing Yuan district is located on the southwest side of Beigang City. To the east, it connects to Beigang City International Airport, and to the west, it connects to the high-speed rail. The district is served by Metro Line 12. To the north is the tranquil park area of the city center, with a bus station located near the district government. The largest Xin Xing Yuan urban mall is located to the west of the main bus road in the Xin Xing Yuan district. The residential area where the three live is in the middle of the main bus road, World 12. Here, there are the cheapest worker rental houses in the city, where one can move in for only 500 yuan per month.
"Oh, I'm hungry," Zhang Xu patted his stomach and took out his phone to call someone. "Hey, it's time to think about what to eat, guys," Liu Shuai opened the map to find nearby restaurants.
"How about crispy chicken?" Wang San pointed to a restaurant ahead with a large sign. On the left was a huge rice bucket logo, and on the right was a thumbs-up sign. Next to the rice bucket on the left was a small chili pepper image, with the words "Sichuan flavor" distributed on both sides, and the words "crispy chicken" following behind.
Arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, with air conditioning on both sides, a total of 6 rows of 12 seats, the ordering counter was in front of the first row of seats. The menu inside the restaurant was made into a large sign, listing the prices of various dishes. On the walls on both sides, there was a mural of the scenery of Mount Emei on the left, and on the other side was a mural of the White Mountain and Black Water. The back wall of the ordering counter combined the mountains and rivers with the plains, giving the feeling of overlooking the north and south of the river at the peak.
After entering the restaurant, the summer heat on the three people disappeared instantly. After taking a refreshing breath, the three found a table and sat down. "Boss, three servings of crispy chicken rice, one salad, and one tomato," Zhang Xu left the table and walked to the counter to talk to the girl at the cash register.
The girl, 1.63 meters tall, with distinct features and bright eyes, looked shy and cute with her hair covering both sides of her face. In the moment she moved, through the side of her clothes, it could be seen that her figure surpassed most of the girls Zhang Xu knew at school. She also had a kind of inexplicable desire to protect when she spoke.
"Okay, let me tell the kitchen," the girl nodded and quickly walked towards the kitchen.
In no time, the girl brought two servings of crispy chicken rice to the table. "The salad (Wang San) will have to wait a bit," the girl said with a smile, quickly placing three sets of chopsticks on the table. "It's okay, don't worry," Wang San handed over a tissue, and upon closer inspection, there was a small wound behind the hair.
"Okay, I'll get it for you," the girl didn't ask for the tissue, and quickly turned around to get the food. "I say, San, what do you think of her?" Liu Shuai asked curiously, and Zhang Xu, who heard the conversation, also looked over. "What are you thinking?" Wang San warned the two not to talk nonsense.
Zhang Xu spoke earnestly, like a teacher speaking sincerely, "San, I'm not joking with you. Listen to me, I think she's good-looking and quite compatible with you." Zhang Xu winked and smiled mysteriously, "I'm serious, don't lose the chance, I want to have two servings a day." Liu Shuai joined in, "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense. Let's see how the food is in this restaurant." Wang San pretended to be serious, took the food and utensils, and the girl left quickly, not caring about the conversation of the three people, but giving a meaningful look to the pretending-to-be-serious Wang San.
"I'll treat you to this meal," Wang San raised his drink, and the three clinked glasses, and the girl also returned to the front desk.
"You see, San is so generous," Zhang Xu smiled, and the three finished their first round of drinks, chatting and laughing about the first day of work. "Do you remember what brother Dau said? San, you are the fastest learner," Liu Shuai took out the pictures from his phone and asked one by one, "Oh, this one, when the robot is running..." Wang San explained while combining his own understanding, but was interrupted by Zhang Xu's "darling."
After a series of inquiries, it was learned that Zhang Xu's significant other had bought something for him, the memory module that Zhang Xu had been paying attention to, a 3200-speed memory module from the Century Speed brand. "How can this be? You are also interning there, how can you let her buy this?" Zhang Xu was shocked when he heard that his significant other had bought such a thing, but quickly calmed down.
"Oh, you only have so little money in a month, it's not appropriate for you to buy it," Zhang Xu looked embarrassed, trying to comfort his girlfriend after saying something that made her unhappy. "What's wrong? Did Lulu buy something for you again? Why do you have that expression?" Liu Shuai put away his phone, looking puzzled.
"I didn't mean that, darling, it's not like that, you..." Zhang Xu continued to explain in a hurry, trying to persuade Lulu not to buy it.
The call ended, and Zhang Xu's face turned ugly. "She bought something again," "So what? She's buying things for you, buddy," Liu Shuai didn't understand, "But you really shouldn't have said that, even if her family is really in difficulty," Wang San, who was already hungry, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"She doesn't have parents, and she's a child raised by her uncle. Even if I'm short of money, how can I let her buy it?" Zhang Xu said in a low voice to Liu Shuai, who nodded. "In that case, you should also give her a gift in return. Keep this gift for now, and remember to buy one quickly. Don't wait until she's really angry with you. Hurry up and take care of it while there's still time."
Zhang Xu nodded. Although his family was well-off and he didn't lack for the things Lulu gave him, he still opened the shopping app to look for things Lulu liked. "San'er, take it slow, don't choke," Liu Shuai patted Wang San's shoulder.
"Yeah, I know."
After a satisfying meal and drinks, Wang San walked to the front desk to pay. The young lady maintained her mysterious gaze, looking at Wang San and then at the items on the table.
"Total is 54, please scan the code."
Wang San quickly scanned the code and displayed a successful screenshot, saying "Let's settle the account."
The girl remained silent, carefully examining the young man in front of her, then raised her head and softly said, "Okay."
Several people walked out of the shop and headed towards their rental house.
"San, you have to believe me. With my many years of experience, this girl definitely has thoughts about you, definitely." Zhang Xu whispered in San's ear. "You can't just rely on your experience. San hasn't done this before. You need to guide him well, and later on, San can teach us from his experience," Liu Shuai joined in, looking back at the girl standing at the shop door, then quickly turned back.
"That person is the boss's daughter. Let's not think too much about it for now. When the opportunity comes, there will naturally be a signal," Wang San said, although he looked disdainful, he also looked back at the shop door in the distance.
"Alright, let's go home. Our house hasn't been cleaned yet," Zhang Xu received a call from the landlord, which the other two overheard. In the work group, the schedule for tomorrow's early bus had already been sent out. From now on, 7:30 a.m. every day would be the time for everyone to wait for the bus.
The group of people listened to the noisy discounts and promotions on the street and finally entered the residential area. They were already exhausted. Upon entering the rental house, a 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment with wooden floors, a small living room at the entrance, and the main and secondary bedrooms on either side, they felt worn out. The living room and balcony were further inside, with a small balcony and a relatively crowded kitchen. A large table was placed next to the stove, leaving only enough space for one person to pass through.
After tidying up, they lay down on the bed. The exhaustion of a busy day was something they hadn't experienced since their student days. The moment they lay down, a warm and tingling sensation rushed into their hearts. Sleep came quickly, and before a song could finish, dreams came uninvited.
