Volume Seventy-Six Recap: Eyes dead inside... (Speculation! Part Six!) After hearing it, the two breathed a sigh of relief (It felt like... Good thing the secret wasn't discovered!) and exchanged a smile...! I slapped the table: Ah! I got it! Did you two induce vomiting! How else could it be? The two were startled by the sudden slap on the table... Pae's food got stuck in her throat, almost choking her... Rue got scalded by the soup... My apologies to you both, I startled you... Me: So, did you induce vomiting? The two said in unison: No way! We don't like wasting food, and besides, it was so delicious, why would we throw it up! Actually, you startled us both, so you're paying for this meal... Something felt off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it... Fine! Chew your food more and eat slowly... . Take your time, ladies, I've already paid! I'll be going now! The two quickly called out to stop me, asking me to wait until they finished eating so we could leave together! How can we leave together! I'm on the right side of home, and you two are one on the left and one behind... Or at least wait until we're done eating! Unable to refuse them, I had no choice but to wait until they finished... About half an hour passed... . Don't go home too late, ladies... . Suddenly, the owner appeared again... Me: Owner, you didn't follow them, did you! Owner: What are you talking about! You two are hanging around here so late, aren't you going home? Owner: Rue, hop in, I'll give you a ride home. The owner glanced at Pae, then looked at me, Zhi, you take her home... . To be continued...

Volume 75 Recap: Is this how you share a table with others? (Speculation! Part 5 of 5!) Me: No! Who are you guys! I'm just eating my meal, and you're upset I didn't refuse to let you sit? Do I need your permission to decide who I share a table with? After saying that, I looked up... Aren't you guys Xiao Pei and Xiao Rui... What are you doing here again! Can't I even eat in peace? If there are no other seats, of course, I'd let others sit! It's you guys who aren't sitting, so what's the problem... You've been following me, haven't you! The two girls said: No way, we didn't know what to eat! We just happened to see you here! We thought we haven't tried this place before! Didn't we just ask you what's good here! Me: Oh, so it was you guys who asked earlier! I thought it was some stranger asking me! If you don't like stinky tofu or spicy food, I suggest you don't order the soup. Theirs is quite potent... I suddenly stopped my chopsticks and stared at them for a long time! Sensing my gaze on them, the two of them hurriedly said: Why are you staring at us like that! Don't tell me... I didn't wait for them to finish: No, I just suddenly realized... If I calculate it, you guys have been eating late-night snacks with me for almost consecutive days! Just as they thought I was about to say something shocking... Me: What! Neither of you looks like you've gained any weight. I reached out and pinched my own stomach, See, my stomach has gotten bigger! Heaven is truly unfair! I gain weight just by breathing... And by drinking water. My eyes have already died... To be continued...

Volume 74 Recap: I think I forgot! (Speculating! Mid-Part Four!) Time has finally come again... The most enjoyable moment of the day! It's time to get off work! Although eating at this hour will make my waist thicker! But people who work at different shifts, Have different meal times, So I can only say to eat a little less! Lest I can't lose weight... After all, there are plenty of people working in various shifts! But our body organs can't, Adjust as quickly as we can in real-time! Just as these thoughts were running through my mind... I saw a shop that always had a line whenever I passed by! Since it's already past 01:00 AM, The customers have mostly dispersed! Although there are still people queuing, Compared to usual, there are only 2-3 people queuing now! I quickly walked forward! The fragrant oily rice I've been craving, With the aroma of shredded pork, the aroma of shiitake mushrooms, And the aroma of dried shrimp! The oily rice is especially soft and sticky... Boss, one large portion... (Eating glutinous rice at this hour isn't good for digestion!) I had to give up! So I changed it to one small portion of oily rice, And a spicy stinky tofu + duck blood, Paired together, they are a perfect match! So satisfying! Suddenly, someone next to me asked, what's good here! I told them what I ordered, based on my own experience, And then ignored them! Continuing to focus on eating! Multiple female voices: Is anyone sitting here? Can we sit together? Me: No! Anywhere is fine! One of the female voices: Do you always share tables like this with others? To be continued...

Volume Seventy-Three Recap: In a moment... (Speculation! Three chapters in the middle!) While I was escaping to clean the restroom, the two of them, watched the front of the house while eating their late-night snacks... Actually, I should have been watching them, so they could focus on eating their late-night snacks, but they were too mischievous, I couldn't stand it, so I let them off the leash... I wanted some brief peace and quiet too! Although I felt bad! But thinking they could take turns! I didn't dwell on it! Unexpectedly… while cleaning the restroom…. I heard someone opening the restroom door and saying: Uncle, can I use the restroom? What is this? Xiao Rui said so... You're not done yet, are you! Go… go…… hurry up, After she finished using the restroom, I went back to clean… Finally finished cleaning the restroom, I told them both to tidy up the front of the house! After reporting to the boss… I went to the adjacent warehouse to restock. Napkins, cutlery bags, order slips, sauce replacement and replenishment. I moved out 7 boxes, and the two of them were stunned and said… we can't possibly fit it all, Why did you bring so much? I ignored them, and restocked them myself. In a moment…. It was all stuffed into the cabinets…! The two of them were dumbfounded! Me: You guys are responsible for taking things but no one replenishes them. Now that someone is replenishing, you have opinions! On average, you consume about one-third of the amount I replenish per day. In other words, 7 boxes are used up in three days… It's better to replenish when you have free time than when it's busy? The two of them stopped talking! After restocking… finally, the two of them didn't continue the previous topic! (Uncle) Dodged a bullet… probably forgot. To be continued…

Volume 72 Recap: The enemy of my enemy is my friend! (Speculation! Chuunibyou Arc!) Speaking of which, don't you two need to see an eye doctor? As they heard me, they both looked at me and asked in unison: Why? Everyone else is looking for handsome guys, but you two, You show no reaction to handsome guys and instead are interested in chubby ones! Your taste is really off! Even though you two are quite pretty! (At that moment, I realized I'd said the wrong thing!) I mean, there are so many cute young guys on the street, You could pick and choose, don't just stare at old hams... Why is your taste so bad! If you don't take care of your eyes when you're young, You won't be able to see clearly when you get presbyopia later! After I said that! I didn't even have the courage to look at them! I turned around and went back to work! I could hear them laughing behind me... A little later, they came to talk to me again. Xiao Rui said with a teasing tone: Uncle, aren't we good-looking? You just praised us for being pretty! Xiao Pei echoed: Yeah! Uncle, are you going back on your word? You two are too idle! If you're bored, find some cleaning work to do! After finally getting rid of them, During supper time, I let them eat first in turns! They started acting up again... When Xiao Pei sat down to eat supper, She beckoned me: Uncle, give me a spoon... Xiao Rui: Uncle, I want a spoon too... You want to play like this, huh! Fine! After handing them the spoons... The front of house is all yours! I'm going to clean the restrooms. Not long after... To be continued...

Volume Seventy-One Recap: It was a little girl! (Speculation! Part 2!) A little customer who looked even younger than the boss! The little girl tugged on my sleeve and said: "Mister, could you give me a spoon?" I frowned and looked at the girl: "Who's mister?" The girl: "You, of course!" Me: "Call me brother!" The others chimed in, teasing me! "Hurry up and give it to her!" "Don't scare her!" They joined the girl in calling me "Mister!" "A spoon, please…!" Me: "Oh my gosh! You guys…" I handed the spoon to the little girl: "Here you go." "Remember, I'm not 'Mister'! I'm 'Brother', okay!" After getting the spoon… the little girl nodded and turned to leave… As she left, she didn't forget to say thank you… "Thank you, Mister…" That stung! They were initially unhappy when they heard a girl's voice, but as soon as they realized it was a little girl, their faces instantly lit up with smiles…. Ancient wisdom never lies, women are fickle! They kept teasing me until the little girl returned to her seat… No wonder people say you should never offend a woman, no matter her age! (After that incident… I was teased for at least half a year… One important thing: I'm 'Brother'!) They finally found an opportunity, and even the boss sided with them… Me: "When did you three get so friendly?" "You two forgot how rude he is to you all the time!" "Guess that's why they say the enemy of my enemy is my friend." To be continued…

Volume Seventy Recap: You'll make excuses for your future mistakes! (Speculation! Mid-part!) The young boss nodded, half-understanding! Young Boss: Brother Xiao Zhi! How do you know what I'm thinking? What you just said is exactly what I was going to say! Did you bug me or something! How else could you guess so accurately… . Except for the word count. Almost everything else is spot on! If this were an exam, Brother Xiao Zhi, you'd get 99 points… . Me: You mean I should go buy firecrackers and set them off! It's too hard to guess what's on your mind! Did you forget something? Brother Xiao Zhi was a grade-schooler too! The young boss stuck out his tongue: Oh yeah! Brother Xiao Zhi, you were young once too! Me: What do you mean 'too'? Remove the word 'too'. Are you even trying to have a conversation? If not, don't bother talking to me anymore! I'm mature now, okay? Young Boss: No! No! No! Brother Xiao Zhi! I was wrong, okay? If you don't talk to me, no one will understand me! Me: That's more like it! If you have nothing else to do, talk to your dad more. I don't want to be misunderstood! Young Boss: Misunderstood about what? Me: He's your real father, don't ruin my reputation! And if you were... well, no use saying more. Let's leave it at that, those who know, know! The young boss and the others heard this and started laughing… . Just as we were getting into a good conversation… Suddenly, someone tugged my sleeve. Everyone looked in that direction… it was a little girl. To be continued…

Volume 69 Recap: We can be good friends first! (Guessing! The last ten chapters!) Young Boss: Got it! Taka-bro, stop talking! I know what you're going to say next! You're just like me... Me: Stop it, I know what you're going to say too. You nag a lot, just like your dad! The Young Boss's pupils contracted upon hearing this! You... I ignored him and continued: I wish I were your dad. And you think I can chat with your mom normally too, So you wouldn't find it inappropriate! The Young Boss's already small eyes contracted twice more. His tiny black pupils were almost invisible. It was like being caught red-handed stealing snacks! Aren't you curious why I'm telling you to respect others! The Young Boss listened with great interest! What I said next, Made the Young Boss roll his eyes, at least ten times... Because I don't want to have to visit you in jail someday... Young Boss...: Taka-bro... you... . The originally harmonious scene took a sharp turn... Before the Young Boss could speak, I continued: And I have absolute reason to believe! Those things you just said, You could never say to your parents! That's why you came to talk to me! Right! At least not for a while! That's why I know what you're thinking! So I'm telling you in advance to respect others. It's a safeguard for both you and others, even if it's annoying! And I believe you know this! But to prevent you from making excuses for yourself later when you make a mistake! To be continued...

Volume 68 Recap: Even though you keep talking about your body and appearance! (Guessing the previous nine chapters!) It's not perfect, but only you think so! At least what everyone in the shop is arguing about now! Isn't about your body's good or bad points! It's because you won't see them worrying about it anymore! Me: Are you... missing the point? Is this the focus? Can't you see I'm really bothered by this! Young Boss: The point isn't missed! Because of you, Boss Chi, I've started to gain confidence in myself too! Me: I feel like you're mocking me! Young Boss: I'm serious! Back in school, I was always made fun of and bullied for being fat! Now seeing Boss Chi, I know I don't need to care too much about what others think! Just be yourself! There will still be people who appreciate you... Me: Forget it, as long as you're happy! Can't you see I'm really bothered? Young Boss: Even if you're bothered, looking at them, it's a sweet kind of bother! Me: You don't happen to like them, do you? (Xiao Pei and Xiao Rui) Young Boss quickly waved his hands! Said: No! I have someone I like at school, I just envy Boss Chi for getting fangirls without breaking a sweat... And multiple ones at that. Me tilted my head and looked at the Young Boss: How old are you, kid? Already fallen in love? I said with interest! Did you do anything improper! Remember one thing, be polite to the opposite sex (everyone the same), and don't force them to do anything they don't want to do! Also, you're still young, you can start by being good friends. To be continued...

Volume 67 Recap: Such a huge commotion! (Guess! The previous 8 chapters!) My inner monologue: I would never be like that! But... are there no more handsome guys in the shop now? Or no more young studs? Just a bunch of people better looking than me... Why can't they see it? Take that kid, Little Jay, for instance. If you ignore his loose mouth, his physique is decent! Why are they so picky... Although, working shirtless in this kind of situation really isn't appropriate... Just as I was pondering the reason for this... . A finger lightly poked my shoulder... I turned my head! It was the young boss! What's up? Young Boss: Brother Xiao Zhi! You truly live up to the name I call you brother! Me: ? What do you mean? Young Boss: Look, ever since you started working at our shop, you've been the talk of the town every single day! I wouldn't dare say you're second, but you're definitely topping the charts! Before I saw Brother Xiao Zhi, there were many things I didn't believe, and didn't hold any hope for! But you always manage to refresh my worldview! Me: Me? Aren't you exaggerating! Young Boss: Not exaggerating! I used to think my physique wasn't that thin! My weight was in that awkward spot, and I had long given up hope! But seeing how lively the shop is today because of Brother Xiao Zhi! That's when I knew! Looks and physique are secondary! The most important thing is! Personal charm is what truly matters! Look at Brother Xiao Zhi! Even though you keep talking about your physique and looks! To be continued...
