After placing the black tea into the thermos, Fujiwara Chika nodded in satisfaction, then looked up at Ye Ziye and asked...
"By the way, Ye Zi, what's the name of your workplace? I'd like to go and take a look."
"Pet Cafe".
Ye Ziye didn't really want to say it, but the thought of being tormented by Fujiwara Chika made him tell the truth.
Meanwhile, Kaguya Shinomiya (Momo) silently memorized this place. Although the system task had no time limit, the fact that it hadn't been completed for so long had seriously hurt her self-esteem.
So now she has decided that she not only wants Ye Ziye to like her in his heart, but also wants him to say it out loud, which is commonly known as confessing his feelings.
Kaguya Shinomiya believes that as long as you put in the effort to do something, there is nothing you can't accomplish; she has that kind of confidence.
Ye Ziye had no idea what Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking, nor did he have time to think about it. He was worrying about how to deal with Fujiwara Chika if she went to the pet cafe in the future.
After much thought, he decided that sending Nakamura Nanami was the safest option. Both girls were cute and should get along well.
Besides, doesn't Nami Kudo also like cute girls? Maybe then he won't need to step in.
Chapter 135
Walking home, Ye Ziye was lost in thought.
The rare discussion about dreams in the student council has ended. Perhaps in the future, the student council will occasionally discuss some high-level and sophisticated issues.
Linglong Novel
But most of the time, she probably still plays all sorts of strange games, since Fujiwara Chika is the student council secretary.
However, those are all things for the future, and it's too early to think about them now. Ye Ziye has always been someone who focuses on the things in front of him.
Now he faces a very serious problem: as a model employee, he is going to be late today.
Ye Ziye had spent far too much time in the student council and hadn't expected that he would unknowingly be so late. Now he was rushing to the pet cafe.
Fortunately, he had already informed Kudo Nami and asked Nakamura Nanami to temporarily fill in for him. The girl's coffee skills have now reached level 2, so temporarily filling in shouldn't be a problem.
Thinking that Kudo Nami had just raised his salary to 250,000 yen yesterday, and that he was late today, he felt a little guilty.
However, he had been trying to prepare Kudo Nami for the worst, so this useless boss probably wouldn't care too much...
Looking at the pet cafe that had already put up its opening sign, Ye Ziye shook his head. Even if Kudo Nami was really angry, there was nothing he could do, because what was done was done.
With a long sigh, Ye Ziye pushed open the door of the pet cafe.
Customers had already arrived at the store, but there were only three or five of them. They were all pleasantly surprised when they saw Ye Ziye walk in.
Hitomi Akiyama, a loyal customer, arrived early as usual and was sitting in the best spot at the bar.
In front of her was a flustered Nakamura Nanami. Today was her first day working as a barista, and although she was filling in, she was still very nervous.
Ye Ziye could tell that his adorable disciple was like a frightened little rabbit, afraid of receiving negative feedback from the guest.
Upon seeing Ye Ziye, Nakamura Nannei finally showed a relieved expression. As if remembering something, he went into the staff break room and came out with an apron in his hand.
"Master, you've finally arrived."
Nakamura Nanami sniffed, somewhat aggrieved, as she put an apron on (bceb) Ye Ziye. Although she hadn't received any malicious feedback, she was quite flustered inside.
As a disciple, she was well aware of the gap in skill between herself and Ye Ziye. She originally thought she would start working around winter, but she didn't expect it to be so early.
"Nakamura, you did a good job."
Seeing that every customer in the shop had a cup of coffee in front of them, Ye Ziye nodded in satisfaction. It was good that Nakamura Nanei wasn't nervous; once he had built up his confidence, it would be much easier for him to start working.
The shop is now full of regular customers. No one is being disrespectful by waiting for Ye Ziye to come before ordering coffee. Instead, they all take great care of Nakamura Nanning's feelings and order a cup of coffee for him.
Although the taste wasn't as good as Ye Ziye's, the guests still drank it.
"Master, did I really do a good job?"
Upon receiving Ye Ziye's praise, Nakamura Nanami's emotions returned to normal, and she became somewhat excited, considering that she hadn't received praise very often.
"Hmm, you did a great job. You took over the barista's job perfectly while I was away. Once your skills have improved enough, you'll be able to surpass me."
"Hehe, I will always be Master's apprentice!"
Nakamura Nanami was quite pleased with herself, her cute twin ponytails bobbing up and down. She had originally been worried that she would be scolded for not doing well.
"What about the store manager?"
After Nakamura Nanami straightened his apron, he asked curiously. He had originally thought that Kudo Nami would jump out and scold him as soon as he came in.
“There…”
Nakamura Nanami pointed to a corner, and Ye Ziye looked in the direction he was pointing. Kudo Nami was tidying up the flowers and plants again, but she seemed a little distracted.
Because she was also looking at Ye Ziye, when she noticed his gaze on her, she snorted and then turned her head away.
Ye Ziye wasn't surprised by the 25-year-old woman's reaction. She figured Kudo Nami would think her authority as the store manager had been challenged again; this woman always seemed to have some paranoia.
However, any boss would be unhappy if an employee were openly late, and Ye Ziye expressed her understanding of this.
Slightly relieved, Ye Ziye returned to his familiar bar counter, waiting for the customers to arrive. Now everyone had a cup of coffee made by Nakamura Nanami, so he probably didn't need to do anything.
"Ye Zi, why are you so late today?"
Sitting at a good spot at the bar, Hitomi Akiyama was bound to ask a question. There was a cup of coffee made by Nanami Nakamura in front of her, but she was clearly not very interested.
“I’ve joined club activities, and you know I’m only a high school student.”
"That's right, give me a mocha."
Ye Ziye glanced at the half-empty cup of coffee in front of Akiyama Hitomi, shook his head, wiped the spoon, and said...
"Our store refuses to waste food."
There's no such rule in the shop, but it's Ye Ziye's rule. Most importantly, if Akiyama Hitomi leaves any coffee unfinished, Nakamura Nanning will be sad.
Hitomi Akiyama rolled her eyes, clearly understanding Ye Ziye's intention, and downed her coffee in one gulp.
"I didn't expect you to be so caring towards girls sometimes. I thought you were always so indifferent."
"Because Nakamura is my disciple."
Ye Ziye was telling the truth. If it were Fujiwara Chika, he definitely wouldn't have gone to all that trouble, because that girl has a strong ability to regulate herself and doesn't need him to worry about her.
However, although Nakamura Nanami is optimistic, she is also much more sensitive, and Ye Ziye does not want to see the extremely kind girl feel sad.
Upon hearing Ye Ziye's reason, Akiyama Hitomi scoffed dismissively. As an editor, she had a rich and varied personality.
So, judging from her expression, Ye Ziye could roughly guess that this woman was probably fantasizing about his improper relationship with Nakamura Nanami again.
But he didn't mind. Enriching the spiritual life of a 25-year-old single woman was a good deed, wasn't it?
Chapter 136
Hitomi Akiyama was unaware of the impolite thoughts in Yoko Yo's mind. While trying to imagine them, she was also waiting for her new coffee to be brewed.
In the past, she might have praised Nakamura Nanning's coffee, but having gotten used to Ye Ziye's coffee, she has become a bit picky.
"Ye Zijun, if you made the protagonist in your novel a little more gentle, you'd definitely attract a lot of female readers. And if you agreed to start an author's column and put your photo on it, that would be even better..."
"Forget it, I can't write a gentle protagonist."
Ye Ziye shook his head. Pursuing practicality suited him better. Perhaps one day in the future he would become as gentle as Kato Megumi, and the protagonists in novels would also become gentle.
"Ugh, what a buzzkill."
Hitomi Akiyama showed no ladylike manners whatsoever; after her beautiful fantasy was shattered, she continued to enjoy her coffee.
As she became more and more familiar with Ye Ziye, this woman paid less and less attention to her image, becoming carefree and completely losing the demeanor of a sophisticated urban woman.
But perhaps that's precisely when people feel most comfortable with each other.
At least now the girls around Ye Ziye are much more down-to-earth, and it's much more comfortable to be around them.
Time passed slowly, and customers came and went in waves. Finally, it was closing time. To express his apology, Ye Ziye did not leave early but chose to leave work on time.
At this moment, Kudo Nami was still in the corner, but she was no longer tidying up the flowers and plants. Instead, she was holding the shop's cat and reading a novel.
Seemingly realizing that most of the people in the store had left, Kudo Nami finally moved, put the cat on the ground, and slowly walked towards Ye Ziye.
Standing behind Ye Ziye, Nakamura Nanami felt a little nervous. This lovely girl was thinking that if the two of them started arguing later, she would definitely try to stop them in time.
Why were you late today?
Kudo Nami adopted the airs of a shop manager and asked a perfectly normal question.
"I spent some time in the student council and discussed an issue."
"What's the problem?"
Kudo Nami frowned, somewhat curious. Actually, she wasn't that angry, because Ye Ziye had already warned her a long time ago; today was just an accident.
Her previous demeanor was all an act; her purpose was to project the image of a store manager. She couldn't allow her position to continue to waver!
If she were to get angry, she would be too foolish. The store's current business is largely thanks to Ye Ziye. If she were to get angry, it would make her seem petty.
"About dreams."
"So high-end?"
Nami Kudo sounded surprised. In today's society, people rarely discuss things like dreams; it's just too childish.
For conservative islanders, discussing such topics is shameful. After all, this isn't an anime, and in the real world, no one would openly shout out what their dreams are like Naruto and Luffy.
Ye Ziye is late because of a discussion about dreams, which means the discussion must have lasted a long time, so the people in the student council must be quite extraordinary.
Her speculation was not wrong. Neither Ye Ziye nor Shinomiya Kaguya cared about this sense of shame. As for Fujiwara Chika, she could be considered a being that existed outside of Earth. She was an extraordinary being that ordinary people could hardly contend with or deal with.
"So, Master, is your dream to become the world's number one barista?"
Nakamura Nanami, who had been standing by, ready to mediate, realized that things weren't as she had imagined, so she decisively joined the conversation; she couldn't afford to fall behind.
"No."
Upon hearing Ye Ziye's denial, a hint of disappointment flashed in Nakamura Nan's eyes, but he quickly rallied.
If Ye Ziye didn't want to become the world's number one barista, couldn't she strive for it? Becoming a barista was her dream!
"What is your dream, Master?"
"doctor."
"Amazing!"
Nakamura Nanami's eyes lit up, her small mouth was wide open, and every pore on her body showed her surprise.
