There are always all kinds of strange guests in high-end western restaurants.
What's strange today is that a boy wearing a peaked cap walked in, with name tags from head to toe, his hands in his pockets, and a black mask that covered half of his face. He hurried in, hurriedly found the most secluded seat and sat down, hurriedly said to the waiter who received him: "I don't have an appointment, alone, I just want your signature set meal, the steak is medium rare, It’s still you who serves, thank you.”
If he didn't look like a high school student, and his voice sounded like a teenager, the waiters would have thought he was some kind of superstar who was visiting incognito.
Seeing the waiter walking farther and farther away, Ji Ming lowered his head, knocked his chin on his arm, unbuttoned his mask a little, and let out a long breath.
... Sure enough, he still failed to show his domineering side.
He didn't know whether he came to this western restaurant, whether he wanted Lin Feng to see him, or whether he didn't want Lin Feng to see him. He hesitated outside for a while, until his stomach started growling, and then he made up his mind to open the door and come in. .
So, what finally got him in... was appetite. =_=
The waiter in the western restaurant was indeed much more reliable than the proprietress of the milk tea shop. After a while, the waiter who came over to serve him was the same waiter with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The attractive dishes made Ji Mingyue twitch his index finger, but he only glanced twice and didn't rush to eat. Instead, he deliberately suppressed his voice and raised his head to ask the waiter: "Hello, how are you usually?" What time do you get off work?"
"Hello, our working hours are rotated by shift." The waiter answered him dutifully, "I work on the night shift, from 6:00 pm to 2:00 am, and some people work on the junior day shift, and they get off work earlier. , I can get off work at nine o'clock in the evening."
"Oh." Ji Mingyue knows that many western restaurants are like this. There are day shifts and evening shifts. Some people are afraid that they will be overwhelmed by the peak passenger flow, and they will set up a small day shift. Understaffed.
I just don't know which class Lin Feng is in...
The more Ji Ming thought about it, he asked again: "Then do you recruit part-time workers?"
"Recruited." The waiter couldn't help but looked at the name tags on his body, and thought to himself, could it be an imitation? "However, we have fixed manpower for the day and night shifts, and we only recruit part-time jobs for the junior day shifts on weekends."
"How do you pay the part-time salary for your junior day shift? Is it daily?... How much is it?"
"It's the end of the day." The waiter said, "I don't know the details. If you want to know, you can talk to our manager."
Sure enough, when it comes to the question of salary, most people are reluctant to answer too specifically. Ji Mingyue was not surprised, he nodded and thanked him: "I see, thank you."
The waiter bowed politely: "I wish you a pleasant meal." Then he went to receive the next guest.
Ji Mingyue rested his chin with one hand. In this way, Lin Feng should be in the junior day shift, and he can't get off work until nine o'clock in the evening. He looked at the time on his phone. It was not yet six o'clock. If he had to wait for him to get off work, he would have to wait for more than three hours...
... Let's eat first, shall we
He took a sip of the low-alcohol red wine on the table, and skillfully cut the food with a knife and fork. When he was about to feast, he looked up inadvertently and found that Lin Feng had just come out of the back kitchen with a tray and was walking in his direction!
He immediately lowered his head, put the knife and fork back on the plate, and pressed down the brim of his hat again, trying to minimize his presence.
This restaurant pays attention to the privacy of dining, and uses a lot of carved glass and flowers and trees for partition. It is difficult to see the face of the guests without walking in front of them. Lin Feng walked through another aisle not far away from him, without looking sideways, as if he didn't notice Ji Mingyue's existence.
Ji Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to eat as blatantly as before. He cut the food into small pieces and put them in his mouth to chew slowly.
During this period, Lin Feng came to their area to deliver meals several times. Ji Mingyue secretly watched him through a layer of glass, and found that he seemed to be very popular with guests. Especially some female guests like to watch Lin Feng speak with charming eyes, and then pat him on the arm twice with her slender hands.
It's not too much, and it doesn't necessarily mean that he really wants to hook up with Lin Feng. It's mostly just the instinct to attract male and female hormones. Even Ji Mingyue himself, in front of Lin Feng, always wants to make himself look better, not too good-looking. If so, it's okay to be cute.
But he understands it intellectually, which doesn’t mean he can be happy emotionally: If you don’t come to give me extra lessons at home, you come here to eat tofu for others? !
He was very hungry at first, but when he was depressed, he lost his appetite. Although he wanted to eat slowly and procrastinate for a while, he still had a meal for more than two hours, which was his own record. up.
"Hello, do you want dessert?" The waiter with thick eyebrows and big eyes came again and asked him politely.
"Well..." Ji Mingyue took the menu, because he was afraid of attracting attention, he just flipped through two pages and ordered two things at random, "I want this pudding, and this..."
While ordering, he quietly looked back - he just saw Lin Feng came here again, I hope he doesn't notice...
As a result, Lin Feng didn't notice him, but he saw Lin Feng at a glance—Lin Feng was bowing down to pour red wine for a table of guests, and the nearest man was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He didn't know what he said to Lin Feng , Lin Feng answered him, he smiled until his eyes narrowed, and reached out to touch Lin Feng's hand...
Ji Mingyue stood up vigorously.
It was because of nervousness, but also because he was eager to see clearly, he hardly thought through his brain. When he stood up and took a closer look, Lin Feng had already withdrawn his hand, took a step back, and said a few more words to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's face was not very good, but he also smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled up. nodded.
It looks like... solved
Ji Mingyue didn't expect Lin Feng to be able to get away so quickly. That's right, Lin Feng has always been very powerful. If he cared about it, he would be in chaos...
Looking back, the waiter with thick eyebrows and big eyes was still standing next to him, his face was confused, and he didn't know how to order properly. Why did this young customer suddenly stand up aggressively. Ji Mingyue was suddenly a little embarrassed, sat down again, coughed and said: "Ahem... I thought I saw someone I knew, but I was wrong. I just want these, nothing else."
"Okay." The waiter took the menu, raised his head, and gave another slight meal.
Ji Mingyue suddenly had a bad feeling.
He followed the waiter's line of sight and looked back. Lin Feng was standing not far from them, and his snow-like gaze swept over him. They just met each other's eyes.
… was found.
Ji Ming felt a little guilty, he still remembered the last time he went to the hospital to look for Lin Feng, and Lin Feng frowned when he saw him. He felt that Lin Feng probably didn't like to be seen in front of everyone and being embarrassed by others. This was also the reason why he decided to "talk" to him after Lin Feng got off work after he calmed down this time.
Lin Feng looked at him from a distance this time, and he really wanted to frown, as if he couldn't do anything about him, and then...then smiled lightly
The more Ji Ming suspected that his eyes were dazzled, he opened his round eyes and looked at Lin Feng again, and found that the corners of Lin Feng's lips were still slightly raised. Although the curvature was not as obvious as before, it was still smiling.
He also lip-synched Ji Mingyue and said, "Wait a little longer."
Ji Mingyue nodded in bewilderment, seeing that Lin Feng also nodded at him, and soon went back to the back kitchen.
After a while, Lin Feng came over and brought up the dessert that Ji Mingyue just ordered, and said politely: "Your maple syrup cake and creme brulee."
Ji Ming raised his head and glanced at him, and now he also guessed why Lin Feng was laughing: "Did you see me a long time ago?"
"Yeah." Lin Feng simply sat down opposite him, "I've been waiting for when you can't help it."
"You..." Ji Mingyue originally wanted to complain about him, but when he saw him sitting down, he was slightly startled, "Aren't you still off work?"
Lin Feng said: "I told the manager before I came here, so I will leave early."
"I..." Ji Mingyue obviously came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but now he was poking at the cake, but he felt a little guilty, "I delayed you from going to work again, sorry."
"It's okay." Lin Feng shook his head peacefully, and even smiled again, "Have you installed a surveillance camera on me, so you can find me wherever I go?"
"No, someone else saw it and told me." Ji Mingyue waved his hand quickly, looked at Lin Feng who was sitting opposite, hesitated before asking, "You, why do you want to work again? Are you... don't have enough money? ?”
"It's enough." Lin Feng said frankly, "At least it's enough for the time being. The supplementary tuition fee you give is very generous."
"Then why do you still come to work?" Ji Mingyue muttered in a low voice, "... just give people tofu for nothing."
"What did you say in the second half of the sentence?"
"...You answer the first half of my sentence first!"
Seeing that Lin Feng was still staring at him, Ji Ming thought more and more that he had just drank red wine, and his face was a little hot: "I tell you, then you have to answer my question honestly... Cough, I am Ask that man just now, did he touch you?"
"He didn't touch it." Lin Feng looked down at his hand, as if he felt a little funny, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "Because I don't want to spend your money."
Ji Ming was stunned for a moment before realizing that what he answered was the question he asked earlier, "Why do you still come to work?" He was a little anxious: "Why? Do you despise me?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Lin Feng asked him back, "What lessons should I make up for the people I hate?"
Ji Mingyue was caught off guard for a moment, and while pressing down the corners of his upturned mouth, he asked, "Then why?"
The melodious violin strings wafted in the air, as well as the rich or fresh smell of red wine and flowers and trees. Perhaps the atmosphere was too romantic, but Lin Feng's eyes were unexpectedly frank and gentle. He raised his hand to wipe off the cake on Ji Mingyue's face Xiao, calmly said: "Because I want you to be my classmate, and I don't want you to be my benefactor."
"I was just joking..." Lin Feng's hand was about to break apart, and Ji Mingyu raised his hand to touch it unconsciously.
Lin Feng looked at him quietly.
Ji Mingyue actually knew that the words were a joke, but some things were indeed true.
"Lin Feng, to be honest, you have worked very hard." He swallowed, and said seriously, "But at our age, there are too few things we can do, and you are always so strict with yourself , putting yourself on the back of so many responsibilities... you won't be able to take it."
In fact, looking back on his previous life, the reason why Lin Feng had an accident may not have nothing to do with his desperate consumption and pressure. It is like a bowstring, stretched too long and too tight, one day it will break if you are not careful.
"Sometimes it's okay to make up for it. I want to help you, and I'm willing to help you." It was also the first time Ji Mingyue confessed so frankly to Lin Feng, and somewhere in his heart trembled involuntarily, "Can I help you?" You and I are very happy... really happy, so don't distinguish so much from me, can you?"
"Otherwise, how much I help you now, you will remember it in your heart, and treat it as I borrowed from you." Ji Mingyue said, "You also know me, I am a scumbag, it is hard to say what will happen in the future... You are so Great, maybe in the future I will need you more, and you can give it back to me."
His eyes were clear and moist, and he looked at Lin Feng without blinking.
Lin Feng watched him quietly for a long time, and finally spoke with a slightly dry voice: "Do you want interest?"
Ji Mingyue laughed, his eyes were crooked even with lying silkworms, and the light fell on his eyes, like two small moons falling.
"Yeah." He nodded and said with a smile, "That must be done."
The conversation between the two came to an end, and Lin Feng had told the manager that he was leaving early, so he went to the back to change his uniform and prepare to leave work. Ji Mingyue wanted to wait for him to leave, so he still sat in his original position, played with his phone with his head down, and occasionally ate a couple of desserts on the table.
The boy took off his hat and mask this time, and his delicate and pretty face could be seen under the light. The thick-browed and big-eyed waiter who had received him couldn't help but look at him a few more times, then turned to Lin Feng and said, "Is he looking for you? Or does he want to work part-time here with you?"
Lin Feng was unbuttoning his shirt. Before he could speak, a waitress turned around and said with a smile, "That's your friend? He's a good fit. He's good-looking and good-natured. Some customers are the most I like teasing him like this."
"It's impossible for him to come." Lin Feng glanced at them, the corners of his lips slightly raised, "That's our young lady."
"Ah, what did you say?" The laughing voice was too soft for them to hear clearly.
Lin Feng didn't say any more, he had already changed his clothes, put on his backpack, waved his hands back as a farewell, and then walked straight in the direction of the boy with big strides.
