21. Why is it poking at my rival in love again?
Around 11:30 AM, there was a break.
It would not start again until 2 PM, which is why Lin Yibai still wanted to do this part-time job even after transforming into a girl.
The pay is high and the work isn’t tiring.
Moreover, you can definitely finish work on time.
At most, you might have to go to the hotel for a bit of training in the evening.
“If being a girl were this easy, I really wouldn’t mind staying this way,” Lin Yibai couldn’t help but sigh during the break.
It’s just greeting guests, working at the front desk, and guiding at the expo.
Is it really exhausting? Based on Lin Yibai’s experiences as a boy, being used like a workhorse by those bosses.
He could only say: utterly fantastic.
Of course, there were concerns too.
Or rather, it should be said that there were ‘targeted’ troubles specifically aimed at Lin Yibai!
He was walking around in those low heels for quite a while.
Now that he was resting on the chair, he realized just how much his feet hurt.
Especially his toes felt like they had been pricked by needles; it was painful.
“Wearing high heels is as unnatural as binding feet; it can’t go on like this, or my feet will be ruined sooner or later.” Lin Yibai began to think of ways to get through the current crisis.
High heels and uniforms were issued uniformly.
Since Lin Yibai really couldn’t get used to wearing them, he decided not to wear them at all.
Or rather, wear a pair of shoes that were somewhat similar?
He took out his phone and started searching for the same style of heels worn by her.
There were plenty of hotels that had similar heel styles for their etiquette, so it wasn’t hard to find. Of course, he wasn’t going to make the foolish mistake of swapping out these heels for another pair.
Instead, he ordered a pair of wedge shoes.
“Sneaking a little here should be fine!” Lin Yibai shrugged and happily made the decision, although the wedge shoes turned out to be a bit pricey, costing over sixty yuan for a pair.
But with this part-time job earning a little money, what was wrong with buying himself a comfortable pair of wedge shoes?
Meanwhile,
In the restaurant provided by the expo for dining.
Most of the people here were basically bosses participating in the exhibition activities or employees from other companies.
Xia Changyu had already painfully lowered his head.
He felt the malice coming from Gu Xiaoxue and her roommates, but those girls said, “Xia Changyu, don’t think just because we ordered so much that we can actually eat that much. We’ve already found out that those dining here are all bosses or employees, and now you can proudly say we are your employees, and you will gain the reputation of ‘generosity.'”
“We’re risking gaining weight just to help you build a good reputation as a boss and entrepreneur.”
“We are so good to you.”
According to you, should I thank you then? Should I be proud because of you?
I’m proud of you, damn it!
Xia Changyu couldn’t eat a single bite; it was too annoying.
It really wasn’t that he couldn’t afford to treat them, but how about you all just order as much food as you can actually eat?
What’s this nonsense about doing it for my sake?
I see you all can’t change your eating habits.
Seeing the glances thrown at him from around, Xia Changyu finally felt overwhelmed and quickly stood up, wanting to distance himself from this trouble: “I just remembered there are some things in the exhibition stand I need to handle; I’ll step away for a moment.”
As long as he stayed far enough away from them, nobody would know he was acquainted with those girls.
However, fate was against him, and the girls insisted on promoting his reputation.
“We are employees at booth E39.”
“Yes, yes, yes; our boss is really amazing!”
“With this boss, what more could we want?”
Pretending to be Xia Changyu’s employees and leaving the good reputation they created for him?
Xia Changyu: Thanks a lot?
Anyway, he was about to cry.
I can’t even hide from this!
He thought that if he had time, he really needed to have a good talk with his girlfriend Gu Xiaoxue, and for now, he just needed to stay away from those strange girls.
He wandered aimlessly towards E Zone.
It was break time, and there were very few people around.
A sudden hum of a tranquil tune caught Xia Changyu’s attention:
“At this moment, suddenly missing you”
“The sound of the bell in Laguna Bay is like a memory”
“Judy in the neon city is crying”
“……”
Following the source of the hum.
He finally saw a girl sitting quietly under an air conditioning vent.
Xia Changyu’s eyes lit up: “Ah, I ran into that lovely girl again.” It’s not some pre-arranged meeting; wouldn’t it be normal for a girl to sit under an air conditioning vent to cool off?
Xia Changyu wanted to greet her but also wanted to finish listening to that song.
But soon, his worries faded away.
Lin Yibai opened his lunch box.
“Braised pork, Mapo tofu, seasonal vegetables, and seaweed egg drop soup, nice… isn’t this much better than the food at school canteens? Plus, it’s free!”
For us boys!
With something free like this, as long as you don’t poison it, you can manage to eat it.
Not to mention, the boxed meal provided here really isn’t bad.
He took out a plastic spoon and poured the braised pork sauce over the rice.
Then scooped a spoonful of Mapo tofu, taking a bite of rice drenched in meat sauce. It can’t be said to be the best thing in the world, but it’s still a top-notch enjoyment.
Except that the Mapo tofu was a bit too spicy.
This made Lin Yibai unable to help but stick out his tongue, fanning his hand and saying, “Hey, hey, hey, chef, that’s too much! Mapo tofu is mainly numbing, spiciness is secondary!”
Hiding behind a pillar, Xia Changyu watched with great interest, especially Lin Yibai’s expression of being affected by the spiciness made him almost burst out laughing.
He felt like something had poked him again?
In any case, Lin Yibai definitely wouldn’t know he had poked at his rival in love for the second time.
Compared to Gu Xiaoxue and her roommates at the restaurant.
Xia Changyu felt much more comfortable here.
Not only was he under a central air conditioning vent, but more importantly, there was a lovely girl giving him a visual treat.
He glanced at Lin Yibai’s lunch box and couldn’t help but nod in approval, “Now, this looks like what a girl should have… Ah no, I mean, this is the portion and appearance a normal person should have!”
Now that Xia Changyu thought about Gu Xiaoxue’s roommates, he couldn’t help but have a headache.
In that dish of one meat and two vegetables, they somehow managed to fit in three meats and three vegetables, and he was impressed.
You can’t help but be impressed!!
With the comparison, Xia Changyu had an even better impression of Lin Yibai.
He considered stepping out from behind the pillar and finding a topic to chat with that girl.
“Would that be too abrupt? Would she think I’m weird? Plus, considering what happened this morning, she must have a bad impression of me!”
“But!”
“It’d still be nice to chat with her!”
“I want to talk to her.”
“……”
Until a delivery man arrived, bringing Lin Yibai his saving shoes.
Xia Changyu still hadn’t made up his mind about whether he should talk to that girl. He considered himself not the type to suffer from social anxiety, but why was he so concerned about that girl?
As if he were afraid of upsetting her.
Isn’t that a bit abnormal?
