C1 (1/2)
In the afternoon after school was over, Pang Xia packed his books and, as usual, prepared to leave. Xu Yun that second generation ancestor wobbled over and extended his hand to block his path.
”Pang Xia, what are you doing? We agreed that it's my birthday today and I'm treating you, why are you still leaving? ”
Pang Xia thought for a while, then asked with an emotionless face that was filled with youthful vitality, ”Are you going to give me a birthday present?”
”A gift?” Xu Yun was slightly taken aback, followed by a face full of anticipation. ”Of course, what gift are you going to give me then?”
He did not expect Pang Xia to say: ”Then I'm not going.”
Just as he reached the door, he started running. When Xu Yun finally regained his senses and ran back out of the classroom, there was no one left except for him and he could only stand at the window and shout, ”Pang Xia, you super steel rooster! A pauper from the countryside! ”
As he spoke, he gave Pang Xia who was on the cement road a middle finger.
Pang Xia looked up and was too lazy to bother with him. So what if he's stingy? Whoever was going to a birthday party, he had to go to work. He didn't have the time to hang out with these rich kids in the United States!
The place Pang Xia worked at was a bar, and the singer was from the same village as Pang Xia. His name was Gao Yang, and he looked a little neutral.
At first, when Gao Yang heard that Pang Xia wanted to earn a living, he introduced Pang Xia over, but at first Pang Xia was unhappy, because in his opinion, a country bumpkin's worth of value was like a mix of dragons and snakes, which was not suitable for a university student like him. However, Gao Yang said that the bar was different, as there were rich and powerful people living in the same community.
After seeing it, Pang Xia realised that Pang Xia was very quick-witted, did not talk much, and was very diligent in his work, so he agreed to let him come over at night to help. Pang Xia saw that the pub's environment was indeed good, refined and luxurious but was filled with elegance.
At the beginning, Pang Xia was still curious why it would close so early, but it just so happened to suit him since his security was set at 11 PM. Actually, Pang Xia didn't know that once the bar closed at 10 PM, it would only send a portion of the staff to get off work.
When Pang Xia arrived at 6: 00 PM, he handed over the wine to the other students of the day class, changed his clothes, and went back to work. It was different in Demonic City when the rich people held onto a handful of wine, but Pang Xia felt that he was not that busy, and his arms were about to break.
But it wasn't the golden age yet, so Pang Xia spent every day looking for Gao Yang with the time he spent in the bathroom. Gao Yang had something to eat!
As usual, they entered the stage familiarly. Pang Xia snuck into Gao Yang's resting room, while talking about singers who were higher than their attendants by more than a level. Look at this room, it seemed like it already caught up to a celebrity's resting room.
”Gao Yang!” Closing the door, Pang Xia sighed in his heart once again, and walked over with a face full of sunshine while smiling: ”What did those little girls send you today? Was there still that cake last time? ”
As he spoke, he completely ignored himself. On the tea table was a gift from Gao Yang's little fan. He stretched out his hand to flip around and actually found the cheesecake that was given to Gao Yang. He picked it up and scooped a mouthful, eating it with his large eyes narrowed into a lazy cat.
”Ugh …” It's still delicious. Gao Yang, you want some too? ”
Pang Xia felt that he was really generous, he dug his mouth into a big hole and gave it to Gao Yang, who remained motionless like a statue, without even rolling his eyes.
Only now did Pang Xia realize that this person seemed to have maintained this posture since the beginning, and did not even talk to him before. Pang Xia waved the spoon in his hand in front of Gao Yang.
”Hello? Gao Yang, what's wrong? Is there something on your mind? ”
Gao Yang regained his senses and looked up at Pang Xia, surprised. ”When did you come in?”
Pang Xia was speechless, ”About two minutes ago, you didn't even get to hear what I had to say to you for half a day.”
”Sorry Pang Xia, I didn't notice.”
Gao Yang smiled in embarrassment, but his eyes couldn't hide his exhaustion and confusion.
Pang Xia waved his hand to indicate that he did not mind, and asked with a frown of concern: ”What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so red? Did he not sleep all night? Just tell me what happened. ”
Gao Yang laughed: ”No, it's nothing. Eh …” This cake? This is Pang Xia's first time seeing a boy who likes to eat sweet food like you. ”
Knowing that Gao Yang was changing the topic, he decided to not ask Pang Xia about it if he didn't want to talk about it. He replied, ”Of course, my dream is to open a cake shop in the future, that way I can eat as much as I want.”
Gao Yang was amused by his high-spirited look and smacked him on the head: ”You're a dignified A-class talent, yet you only have this little ambition?” Your parents will cry themselves out if they hear it. ”
Pang Xia laughed heartily. He quickly finished the last mouthful and stood up: ”No, I have to go. When the time is up, I'll see you later, Gao Yang.”
”Alright.”
Pang Xia walked out of Gao Yang's resting room and couldn't help but turn around to take a look. Seeing that Gao Yang was still in a daze, he couldn't help but sigh. Did he have a crush on someone?
Pang Xia scratched his face in distress. ”I'm really conflicted, what if I'm not really an emotional expert, speaking of me, I haven't even been in a relationship before …”
”...”
”Pang Xia, send these boxes to Room 203.”
”Got it.”
