Chapter 402 - Experience Life (1/2)
“How tiring!” Ye Xiu stretched from his computer. The two people behind him who were tidying up the New Year goods, glared at him in anger.
“How’s it going? Did you finish cleaning up?” Ye Xiu walked over with his two hands behind his back as if he were an inspector.
Chen Guo lifted her hand and threw something at him. Ye Xiu was quite nimble though. He raised his hand and caught it. He looked at it and saw that it was an apple.
“Go wash the fruit!” Chen Guo gave Ye Xiu as task to do. But shortly afterwards, she heard a “crunch” and the apple she had thrown at Ye Xiu had a bite taken out of it.
“What? You hadn’t washed it yet……” Ye Xiu, who had taken a bite out of the apple, was as tranquil as ever. He spat out the apple he had taken a bite out of and tossed the eaten apple back at Chen Guo.
Chen Guo didn’t catch it. She let the apple go flying past her directly towards the entrance, where it fell and rolled on the ground.
“Come here and work.” Chen Guo said expressionlessly.
Ye Xiu toddled over and the three began organizing the items they had just bought.
Even though it was nearly New Years, the Internet Cafe had some business. It was just that the people who occasionally pa.s.sed by and took a look around were scared by the scene they saw.
“Boss…… are you preparing for a party?” One person saw the various ornaments scattered around and asked in astonishment.
Chen Guo was delighted. This misunderstanding was a type of acknowledgement as a result of their hard work.
“Come, come, come. You can sit anywhere. The candy, melon seeds, and peanuts are free!” The customers who were lured in all received free candy and snacks as a gift.
“Not bad.” The tidying up they had done the entire afternoon made the Internet Cafe look like there was a party going on. Chen Guo wiped some sweat from her forehead and said happily.
“Come here. Both of you get a red envelope.” Chen Guo turned her head and gave the two brothers a reward.
“Thanks, boss.” Ye Xiu replied without batting an eyelid.
“Ha ha, there’s even a red envelope!” Ye Qiu didn’t decline.
“You’re going back tomorrow, right? Then, let’s have a good dinner tonight.” Chen Guo said.
“What do you mean by eat a good dinner?” Ye Xiu had already lived in Happy Internet Cafe for two months and had experienced Chen Guo’s idea of a “good dinner”. It was usually just a few more dishes.
Chen Guo stared at him: “Let’s see it’s still possible to order some.” She took out her cellphone. This time, she was planning on having an actual “good dinner”. She was going to order a feast.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t.” Ye Qiu jumped out to stop her, “There’s no need to go through all that trouble. What do you two usually eat? We can just eat the same!”
Chen Guo was surprised when she heard this and then laughed: “I understand. You want to experience what life here is like?”
“However…… you probably won’t be able to get a realistic experience today!” Chen Guo looked at the restaurant near them. That restaurant had good business relations with the Internet Cafe. She would order food from the small restaurant there. But today, the restaurant owner had gone home to celebrate New Years, so it wasn’t open.
“Just a general feeling would be fine.” Ye Qiu said.
“Okay!” Chen Guo nodded her head. She took her purse and gave a few hundred yuan bills to Ye Xiu : “Go out and make a left. There will definitely be a few restaurants that haven’t closed yet. Hurry.”
She pointed at the running Ye Xiu to Ye Qiu: “Look, that’s a part of our life.”
“Ha ha ha, how wonderful!” Ye Qiu laughed.
“How about you go? To get the experience.” Ye Xiu handed the money over to Ye Qiu.
“No need. I’ll skip this part!” Ye Qiu wasn’t an idiot. Running errands wasn’t anything he needed to experience.
Ye Xiu held a cigarette in his mouth and left the building. Chen Guo called Ye Qiu over and set up the dining table they usually used in their day to day life. Then, she pointed at the few customers: “There isn’t really anyone here today. Usually, there are a lot of customers at this hour. Some of them will have food with them and the entire Internet Cafe will smell like delicious food.”
“How unfortunate. We won’t be experiencing it today.” Ye Qiu sighed.
“If you ever get the chance, feel free to come again!” Chen Guo said.
“Okay, I will definitely!” Ye Qiu nodded his head.
The two sat at the dining table and chatted. Ye Qiu told Chen Guo quite a few stories about Ye Xiu when he was young. Chen Guo really wanted to know about these, so she could use them as revenge against Ye Xiu. When she thought carefully, ever since Ye Xiu had arrived at Happy Internet Cafe, she was often the one who suffered. Chen Guo didn’t want to be that kind of story character.
“I’m back.” Ye Xiu finally came back with two bags full of food.
“It smells amazing.” Ye Qiu was already beginning to grow impatient.
“Oh, did we not eat this afternoon?” Chen Guo recalled.
“If you’re hungry, just eat more.” Ye Xiu put down the food and smoked his cigarette first.
“Let’s see what we have here.” Ye Qiu took out the boxes of food.
“Oh, pretty good, pretty good.”
“Ah, very good, very good.”
“Hm? Not bad, not bad.”
“How great! I like all of these.” Ye Qiu looked at the food and nodded his head repeatedly.
“It’s hard to tell, but you’re actually a good brother.” Chen Guo said.
“I’ve always been. It’s just that young people don’t know what they’re doing, which is why such a misunderstanding came about.” Ye Xiu said.
Young people…… Chen Guo was somewhat speechless. They were twins. Even though one was a bit younger and the other was a bit older, in reality, the difference was negligible.
“No alcohol?” Ye Qiu opened up a box of food and realized that there was nothing to drink.
“That’s right! You didn’t buy any alcohol?” Chen Guo asked.
“I don’t drink alcohol.” Ye Xiu said.
“Oh?” Chen Guo was surprised.The smoker, Ye Xiu, actually didn’t drink alcohol. She hadn’t expected this.
“Too much alcohol and your hands will shake.” Ye Xiu said.
“Oh, got it!” Chen Guo understood. A pro player had to have two steady hands. A minor micro mistake could have serious consequences. As a pro player, one had to be careful when drinking alcohol.
“You don’t drink, but we do!” Ye Qiu said.
