The Heartbeat at the tip of the tongue

Chap 2: Late = kick your brain to piece

Lin Ke Song carried the large pile of packed food home.

On the way back, her emotions are complicated.

She no longer remembers how she started hanging out and becoming close to a person like Song Yi Ran. According to logic, she and Song Yi Ran are of two different worlds, on two totally different sides.

It seems like it really was from that time when she rode her tricycle to send that chap to the hospital onwards, he would bring her along whenever there was any good food to eat or drinks to drink.

Of course, at the same time, he also intensified her 'enslavement', for example obviously disliking the cafeteria food but still making her queue up for and pack it; for example obviously having pockets, but always stuffing the paper napkins into her pockets; for example obviously only knowing how to use night study period to lie on the table to message beauties, but still wanting her to use her water bottle to reserve a seat for him, making other students who actually want to study not have any place to sit.

All these years have gone by, yet Lin Ke Song realises that her crush for this chap has never stopped before.

"Ai... ... gosh... ... you mean ive always been such a persistant person ah?"

Lin Ke Song could not help praising herself.

From junior high to high school, Lin Ke Song has studied in the city's elite schools. There was much study stress and high amounts of tension. It has to be said the appearance of Song Yi Ran was not only good for the eyes, it also gave Lin Ke Song's spirits a boost. At least he let Lin Ke Song's school life have that little bit of colour.

But, majority of the crushes probably die a natural death right?... ... well at least she herself is one of the majority.

When she thinks like that, Lin Ke Song doesn't feel that depressed.

When Lin Ke Song reached home, she suddenly realised that her parents were sitting in the sofa, without the television switched on, like they were specially waiting for her.

"Dad? Mom? What's happened?"

Lin Ke Song's heart strangely started to feel uneasy.

Can it be that after telling her mom about resigning from her third job yesterday, they have decided to hold a family meeting to criticise her?

"Ke Song ah...... father has an important matter to discuss with you."

"Oh...... what's the matter?" Lin Ke Song lifted everything to the table top, while constantly thinking of a plan, if dad talks about her resignation, how she should guarantee him about surely finding a job within a month.

"Your uncle is a chef in New York, you know that."

"En." Lin Ke Song nodded her head.

Her Dad's younger brother, Lin Feng (remark: not the Lin Feng on TV), and a friend partnered up and opened a small Chinese restaurant in New York. Apparently, the business isn't too bad, and every year the uncle comes back, he seems very proud.

"Your uncle's restaurant is getting busier and he wants us to help him. Didn't you just resign from your job? He wants you to go over to help him."

"Help with what?" Lin Ke Song could not wrap her head around the situation.

"There are many dishwashers and waiters, but none of them are family. Your uncle is a chef in the kitchen, so he can't keep an eye on them at all. Your aunt passed away early, your cousin is still studying and is unable to offer any help. You go over and be a supervisor, keep an eye on the employees and make sure they do their work properly. It's that simple, the salary your uncle is giving is pretty thick, and includes food and lodging." From the way her father speaks, it's obvious he hopes she goes.
