In the past few days, my mother has always had no appetite for eating, her face is not very good, and she looks uncomfortable holding her stomach. Aunt Li took her to a nearby clinic and prescribed some stomach medicine, but there was still no improvement. I was a little worried and planned to take time to take her to the hospital for a check-up during my days off.
Although the work in the supermarket was tiring, the shift ended early. It happened that a new high-end restaurant in the city needed some waiters. I asked with a try attitude, and it happened that they could do morning and evening shifts, so I took the job. down.
Now when I get off work at the supermarket every day, I go back to eat a few bites of food in a hurry, and then rush to the restaurant without stopping. My mother didn't understand what I was doing outside, but every time I came home she would give me the money I earned from selling scraps that day, and she would look happy when I accepted it. I would put the money in the yellow cloth bag when she wasn't paying attention. Watching her being cheated and still being silly and happy, I only felt indescribable warmth in my heart.
When I went to work that night, some well-known customers seemed to come to the store. The foreman hurriedly transferred a few people from our group to come over. That is the most expensive box in this hotel. The whole room is completely Chinese style. The most eye-catching thing is that there is a large lantern with a lampshade hanging on the ceiling in the middle, and some crystal chandeliers hanging down from the middle. I was almost stunned when I saw it. I was grabbed by the foreman and brought to the door of the room before I came back to my senses.
After a while, the manager led a group of people over. I only glanced at it from a distance and froze in place.
Lin Han, one of Yi Tian's best brothers, the person who hates me the most in the world.
When I took photos and threatened Yi Tianhou to find someone to beat me seriously, it was Lin Han. In fact, I can understand that kind of deep-seated hatred. After all, I have been in love with someone for 20 years since childhood. If someone snatched her away in that way, I would probably go crazy with hatred.
A group of people were getting closer and closer, and I didn't dare to avoid them too obviously. I just tried my best to pretend to be calm and lowered my head slightly, praying in my heart that he wouldn't notice me. One step, two steps... When Lin Han walked to me, I clenched my fists nervously. I secretly exhaled after he passed by.
"Wait." Lin Han suddenly turned around and walked next to me, "Raise your head."
A group of people all stopped and looked here. I had no choice but to hide any longer. I could only raise my head and look directly at him as calmly as possible and asked: "Does this gentleman need any help?"
Lin Han's pupils dilated instantly, and after being stunned for a second, he suddenly laughed uncontrollably.
"Master Lin, what's the problem?" The manager hurried over, his face full of nervousness and fear.
"No...no problem." Lin Han waved his hand, wiped the tears from laughter at the corner of his eyes, and walked in looking in a good mood. The manager hurriedly followed behind and frowned at me before leaving.
I sighed in my heart. I knew Lin Han's character very well. Now that I was seen by him, he couldn't let me go so easily. In fact, after Yi Tian and I separated, I have been worried that I would fall into the hands of Lin Han. It is not impossible for him to kill me and throw him somewhere. I just don't know if I was lucky enough not to be found or if he never found me at all. I have been living safely until now.
Sure enough, when the food was being served, the manager walked over to me with an uneasy look on his face and said, "Master Lin asked you to come in by name. What's going on? Do you know each other?"
I shook my head. The manager sighed: "Don't cause any trouble for me. How can I tell the superiors if I offend the young master of the Lin family?" I smiled bitterly in my heart, seeing that trouble like this is definitely going to happen. As for how it happens and how serious it is, it's not up to me.
When I entered, two colleagues were serving food. Lin Han looked at me and smiled and said, "Here, please pour me a cup of tea."
I walked over silently, took the teapot from my colleague who was looking at me at a loss, lowered my head and poured tea into the teacup in front of Lin Han. Others also noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and stopped talking and laughing.
After filling the teapot, I put the teapot down and was about to exit when my calf was suddenly kicked hard. Because he was unprepared, his body lost balance and fell to the ground.
Before I could react, a whole plate of food fell on me. Fortunately, the temperature of the dish was not too high and I was not burned. I was just covered in greasy food and felt very embarrassed.
Lin Han said "Ah" in surprise, then looked at me with a calm face and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped." The surroundings were so quiet that no one dared to speak.
I struggled to stand up, the vegetable oil dripping from my body due to my movement. I wiped off the oil that splashed on my face and walked out without saying a word.
"Stop." Lin Han's lazy voice came from behind, "Did I say you can leave?"
I sighed slightly in my heart.
If it had been a few days ago, I would have immediately turned around and poured a plate of food over his head. The worst he could do would be to be beaten to death, and I didn't care. But now I have a home, and my mute and stupid mother is still waiting for me at home. What will she do if I die? I can't let him lose his child for the second time.
So I had no choice but to stop, turn around and look at Lin Han expressionlessly, waiting for his next instructions.
Lin Han slowly picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip and immediately spat it out. He frowned and said, "What the hell is it that tastes so bad?" Then he raised his head and looked at me. He was about to say something but suddenly stopped and opened his eyes wide. Looking behind me.
I noticed something and turned around, it was Yi Tian.
Suddenly it seemed like I was back 5 years ago.
I was still in college at that time, and I would work in a restaurant near the school every night to earn tuition. One night I met some drunken gangsters who were deliberately looking for trouble. One of them kicked me down and I was grabbing the food on the table and trying to throw it at me.
"I asked you, are you a little too pushy?" Yi Tian held the man's wrist, took the plate of food, and poured it over the other person's head with a calm expression.
Then there was a scuffle between the two gangs.
I stared blankly at the boy in front of me, who was about the same age as me. He dodged the attack beautifully and punched neatly, knocking those bastards who were talking obscenely to the ground one by one. With such strong vitality and indifferent yet absolutely confident demeanor, unlike me, who is dark and humble, his whole person seems to be shining.
So actually Yi Tian can't blame me for pestering him like this. If a person who has been living in darkness one day sees light and feels the warmth, why would he try his best to keep that warm light by his side forever? But now, I stand in front of Yi Tian in a state of embarrassment with oil stains all over my body, as if I am bringing a ridiculous end to the encounter five years ago.
The manager stood behind Yi Tian, and his eyes almost popped out when he saw me. He ran over in a hurry and angrily yelled: "Why did you do this!" Before I could explain, Lin Han's voice came from behind: "Manager Li, why can't your waiters here even know how to serve the dishes?" The manager's head almost dropped to the ground: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lin, this guy just arrived, I'll replace him right away!"
"But what if I want him to serve the food today?" I turned around and met Lin Han's cold gaze. The manager was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do, and the atmosphere in the entire box became increasingly tense.
At this time, Yi Tian walked past us and came to Lin Han. He patted his head and said with some warning in his voice: "Don't make trouble." Lin Han curled his lips and said unhappily: "Okay, okay, let's go out. ." The manager felt amnesty and pulled me out while apologizing.
When I walked out, I thought in a daze that I might as well not destroy the last bit of warmth and beauty that remained in my heart. They are unwilling to do so.
