Volume 11 (Closing Early? Part 2) Recap: Wash the cleaning rags clean! Place them in a red bucket, Add about one bottle cap's worth of bleach, Soak overnight with hot water for sterilization! Finally, all the closing tasks are done! The boss was in a hurry to get everyone out! Locked the shop door! Before leaving… the boss caught a glimpse of me out of the corner of his eye! He suddenly leaned in close and asked? Boss: You'll be here tomorrow, right! Me: I'm not off tomorrow? If not! Of course, I will be! After hearing the answer he wanted… The boss quickly left, satisfied! Watching the boss leave… . My tense nerves finally relaxed… my whole body ached! It must have been the stress from work, or even though the shop provided meals, I didn't eat anything! Only after getting off work, Did I realize my stomach was growling… . Luckily, this is a night market! Even though our shop closed! Many other stalls are still open late! I took a stroll through the night market and found a braised food stall… Bought some to eat while walking… as I was eating… Suddenly, I felt someone behind me… I thought, I don't know many people in this night market… So who could it be? I hadn't even turned around yet! I heard someone call my name! Strange, who would know me? I think I've heard this voice before! It definitely wasn't someone I knew… . The person tapped my shoulder and said: You said you weren't hungry earlier when I asked at the shop! Now you're secretly eating a late-night snack! Me: How could it be you! Boss… what are you doing here? Boss: I was having a drink with some friends! Just happened to see you! To be continued…

Volume 84 Recap: They didn't mean it like that! (Guessing! Next five chapters!) Looks like I was overthinking it… . It's fine! No impact, better than them admitting it! The next day… The proprietress beckoned me over! Proprietress: Xiao Zhi… don't you feel! That the atmosphere out here is really strange? Me: What do you mean? Proprietress: Look at their words and actions! They're extremely resentful, like they've lost their souls! After I left last night… what did you say to them again? Me: I made my intentions clear to them! Proprietress: Oh~! What did you say? Me: I said I only want to focus on work right now and don't have plans to find a partner for the time being! They both said I was overthinking it! They didn't mean it that way! After hearing this, the proprietress looked at me with a half-understanding expression! Proprietress: So you believed them? Me: They said so themselves! If I don't believe them, who should I believe? Proprietress: Then look at the two of them, their work attitude now! Do you think what they told you last night was true? Me: I don't know! What should I do then? Proprietress: In a different way, tell me, Besides your family's financial issues! Why don't you plan to find a partner? Me: I lack confidence in my appearance, I lack confidence because my wallet isn't deep enough when we go out to play, I lack confidence in whether my partner's feelings for me are genuine! Due to the combined reasons above, I don't have the thought of finding a partner! To be continued…

Volume 83 Recap: Quiet but not silent! (Guess! The next four chapters!) Me: Of course not! I wanted to tell you both! About my current situation and my family's situation! My family isn't doing well financially! So besides work, I don't have the mental energy for anything else! Like finding a partner... or self-improvement. The most important point... I have trauma regarding relationships with a partner! Xiao Rui didn't wait for me to finish: What's the meaning of you telling us all this? Xiao Pei looked equally confused: Yeah! Why are you telling us? Maybe I'm too narcissistic! Or maybe I'm flattering myself! What I want to tell you both is... Whether or not you have any feelings for me... I hope you don't like me! Because it won't lead to happiness! And I don't have the headspace for it right now! Xiao Rui: Ha! You're overthinking it! How could I possibly like you? We're too far apart in age (10 years)! Without waiting for me to speak... Xiao Rui continued: It's too late! I have something to do! I'm heading home! Xiao Pei chimed in after Xiao Rui: That's right! I don't have any feelings for you either? What gave you that confidence? Heh heh... Xiao Pei: I asked you to get late-night snacks together because I was hungry and wanted company, I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand... Really sorry! Xiao Pei: I have a curfew at home, so I'm heading home now! The two left in a hurry... I hope they understood what I said! OS: It's good I told them first. Maybe I was just assuming? They probably didn't mean anything by it! To be continued...

Volume 82 Recap: The standards a girl tells you! (Guess! Next three chapters!) The moment you believe it! It means you're already deeply involved! Owner: I know liking someone can't be controlled, But at least you can make things clear to the other person! Don't let them fall deeper! This is all I have to say to you! As for how you do it, that's up to you! Me: Owner, I understand! Thanks for the reminder! After thanking the owner... I walked towards the front-of-house staff's stations and seriously pondered our recent conversation. I was lost in thought! After… how long… Someone tugged my arm… Xiao… Zhi! What's wrong? Xiao Zhi! Snapping back to reality… I looked in the direction of the person pulling my arm. Xiao Rui shouted: I called you so many times… you didn't respond! I thought you weren't feeling well! Xiao Pei watched Xiao Rui pull my arm, A flicker of emotion crossed her face… Me: I was just thinking… got lost in thought! I'm fine! Xiao Rui, are you free after work? I have something to tell you! Xiao Pei too! After work, please give me 10 minutes! I have questions I'd like to ask both of you! Hearing this, the two exchanged glances and said in unison: Okay! See you after work! We're working now! Finally… quitting time! After the two tidied up… they came over and asked me, What questions did you want to ask? Xiao Rui's eyes darted up and down, Teasingly: Are you going to ask for our measurements? Xiao Pei heard Xiao Rui say that! Her face turned red… She immediately lowered her head… and remained silent. To be continued…

Volume 81 Recap: Me: I didn't think that much! (Guessing! Next two chapters!) I'm more concerned about work than that…! Proprietress: Little Zhi, have you ever considered! You can stop yourself from liking someone, even reject others! But you can't stop others from liking you! Me: Impossible! Girls like handsome guys! Guys with good bodies! And witty, humorous guys! I don't fit any of those, how could it be possible? Besides, I overheard them talking a bit before! The type they like, I could never be! It's the complete opposite! Proprietress: Can you be sure they have no interest in you? Me: I can't be sure! It just feels absurd! And I'm old, I could almost be Little Rui's uncle! The proprietress casually gestured, then can you explain why they're reacting like this now? I followed the proprietress's gesture and looked over! They were staring intently at the counter, watching me and the proprietress, as if they wished they had wings to fly over immediately and listen to what we were saying! Me: Is there a possibility they're just gossipy… Proprietress: Then can you explain why Little Pei looks so sulky? And why Little Rui keeps glancing over? Me: Okay! I'm not sure! But I wasn't intentionally stringing them along…! Proprietress: I know! I just wanted you to know! Looks, body, conversational skills, charisma. These are the standards girls use to judge guys! So don't believe the standards girls tell you! To be continued…

Volume 80 Recap: After all, who likes being gossiped about! (Guess! Next chapter!) The proprietress glanced at Xiao Pei, her head bowed, then turned to me and said, "But honestly! She doesn't seem very repulsed by you! You might be overthinking it!" Personal OS: Actually, it's not that I haven't considered it, but my appearance, figure, family background, age... None of them are top-tier! Plus, I have no particular advantages. Why would she fall for me! Hence, the thought that I'm not good enough for her! Naturally, I wouldn't have any further thoughts! With all sorts of anxieties, I hesitated and stopped. Me: I don't have any plans to consider that for now! Proprietress: If you have no intentions! Why do you often go eat late-night snacks together? Listening to the proprietress, I asked myself in my heart! Right! If I have no intentions, why string her along! I tried to convince myself and the proprietress, and forced out a sentence with great effort. Me: It's just colleagues occasionally meeting for meals to exchange work insights! As I said it, my heart unintentionally skipped a beat! Seeing that I didn't even believe myself, the proprietress stopped pressing and changed the subject. What about her? What's going on with Xiao Rui! Why was she eating late-night snacks with you guys? Me: Last night, I was originally going to eat late-night snacks alone. They came together and happened to run into me, so we ate late-night snacks together. Proprietress: Do you believe that yourself? Me: I didn't think that much about it! To be continued...

Episode 79 Recap: McGay = Stop pretending! (Speculation! 9th part of 10!) Owner: I heard everything! Stop playing dumb! Me: What are you talking about, Owner! I really don't understand! Owner: I heard my husband caught you two last night! Me, confused: Caught…! Owner: Didn't you give Xiao Pei a ride home? Me: Yeah! Owner, winking: So, what did you "do"? Me: Just took Xiao Pei home! What else could I do? Owner, with a knowing smile: Didn't you have… ideas about Xiao Pei! Hearing this, I finally understood what the Owner meant…! Me: I saw her enter her house and then I left! That's all there is to it! Owner: You missed your chance! Looking at the Owner, who seemed like a pervert saying such things! For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was the man, or if the Owner was. After hearing what I said… the Owner's… ear tips turned slightly red… . Owner, quickly adding: I just thought you looked a bit down! I was just teasing! Don't take it seriously! Me: Owner, some things can't be joked about! It's okay if I'm a man! But it's bad for a woman's reputation! Owner, pointing: Then see for yourself if she minds. I looked in the direction the Owner pointed! It was Xiao Pei! Me: She didn't hear, so it's fine. If she had heard, she'd probably be unhappy! Who likes being gossiped about! To be continued…

Volume Seventy-Eight Recap: Listening to the slightly softened tone: Then… (Guessing! Middle Eight Chapters!) If that's the case! Why… she couldn't ask… Her eyes showed fear of knowing a bad answer! Me: That's because I rarely give people rides… I don't know how to give rides, so I was hesitant! Hearing this, Xiao Pei burst out laughing… Xiao Pei: You… really…… are too mean! Me, completely clueless: I'm too mean? Did I do anything to you? Xiao Pei: Then let's go! Me: Go where! Xiao Pei: Let's go home! Xiao Pei realized she misspoke! And quickly corrected herself! Take me home! We walked to where I parked, and Xiao Pei got on the back of the motorcycle. Xiao Pei: If you don't have a girlfriend! Why did you prepare an extra helmet? Me: I usually give my mom a ride, so I keep an extra one ready! Me: Xiao Pei, where do you want to hold on? Remember to hold on tight to avoid falling off! Xiao Pei: I know that! You just focus on the traffic ahead! About 5 minutes later, we finally arrived at Xiao Pei's house! Xiao Pei said, looking down: Thank you! Her tone was much gentler now compared to when she was questioning me earlier! She then touched her face after saying that, And ran home without looking back! What's going on now? I headed home, filled with questions… The next day… The proprietress beckoned me over: Come here! How was it? Me: How was what? Proprietress: MacGyver = Don't pretend! (Literal translation to Taiwanese Hokkien: 'You're fake!') To be continued…

Episode Seventy-Seven Recap: Xiao Zhi, you're taking her home! (Speculation! Middle Seven Chapters!) As soon as I got in the boss's car, Xiao Rui wanted to say something else! Before he could even say it, (reluctantly getting a ride from the boss!) the boss had already hit the gas and left! Leaving behind two awkward figures... You look at me, I look at you... Uh... Xiao Pei saw the troubled look on my face after hearing what the boss said! Xiao Pei: I can get home by myself! Me: ...... Xiao Pei: Don't worry! I'll tell the boss you gave me a ride home! So you won't get in trouble! Me: Are you mad? Are you? Why would you be mad? Xiao Pei: No! Why would I be mad? What reason is there to be mad! You should hurry back! Otherwise, your family will worry, and your girlfriend will worry! Me: Then what about you? Xiao Pei: Like I said, I can get home by myself! Xiao Pei's voice still sounded a bit huffy. Me: I can give you a ride! Xiao Pei emphasized again: No, thank you! You look like you're in a difficult situation! I don't like forcing people! Besides, the boss just said not to worry about it! Your girlfriend will be mad if she finds out you're giving another girl a ride! Me: My girlfriend? I have a girlfriend! Who is it? Xiao Pei: Who? Don't you know yourself? Me: I don't know! When did I get one!?
