(Note: This is a side story, which has nothing to do with the plot of this book or the game! The author dares to use the author's best friend's permanent singleness as a guarantee that this chapter is sweet but not harsh! This chapter is very long! Please enjoy it slowly.)

(Very quietly) After all, the author spent several days pondering over this work.

Ding--

As the door of the cafe opened, the crisp doorbell rang, which meant that a guest had arrived and someone was about to start work.

"Hello~ Welcome to Morning Café!"

Ying stood at the front desk of the cafe wiping various drink cups. When she saw someone coming, she was forced to open the door and say "Welcome".

Since the guests have arrived, Ying can only put down what she is doing and go to greet the guests.

Ying looked at the man, a strange face, probably a newcomer. She stood at the front desk with a smile and asked gently: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

The man just stood at the front desk and looked carefully at the drink menu, and then he suddenly saw that there was a column for alcoholic beverages on it.

"Uh...there's actually alcohol for sale here?"

"Yes, sir. We sell all kinds of drinks here, whether for children or adults! What can I do for you, sir?"

"Give me a draft beer, then."

"Okay, you can find a seat and sit for a while. I'll come over to you later."

……

After a while, Ying poured a glass of draft beer and brought it to the customer.

"Here, your draft beer is ready."

After she placed the guests' drinks, she returned to the front desk to continue wiping the drink glasses.

Inadvertently, Ying suddenly saw the calendar on the front desk, and the date on it was very eye-catching.

[January 1, Spring Festival, reunion]

Is it the Spring Festival already? Another year has passed, time flies so fast.

The word "reunion" really made Ying feel a little uncomfortable.

Ying's impression of the Spring Festival is that the shops on the street are closed during these few days, and there are firecrackers that resound through the sky every day. Then every household will put up new couplets, hang red lanterns, and visit relatives and friends. But all this is only for other people's families. Her parents can't come back during the Spring Festival every year because of work. The only good thing is that her brother comes back from studying in another place, so she and her brother are the only ones at home to eat delicious food during the Spring Festival...

As for this year's Spring Festival, she felt even more lonely. The school was on holiday, and the two of them had to go back to their hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. Her brother was still missing, so she had to come here to work. At least she wouldn't starve to death in this month.

despair.

The guest just drank a full glass of draft beer in one gulp, and the sound of the glass being slammed on the table was particularly harsh.

The customer looked around again and saw that we were the only two people in the huge cafe.

"Hey little girl, why are you still working here during Chinese New Year? Why don't you spend the New Year with your family?"

The guest was a little tipsy and felt it was too lonely so he went to talk to Ying.

However, this question stumped her. She hesitated for a moment and was not prepared to answer.

"It's because the family members didn't come back, right?"

The conclusion the guest naturally drew from Ying's expression also happened to help Ying answer the question.

"What about you? Why are you drinking alone here on New Year's Day?"

She asked the customer the exact same question.

As a result, the guest responded by sighing, then picking up the empty glass and walking to the front desk.

"Another drink please!"

Ying then filled his cup again, and the man drank it all in one gulp. Then he sighed again, savoring the taste for a while before speaking again:

"I'm the only one here. My son is busy out of town and won't be home this year. I'm busy. I need to be busy..."

He then had another refill and sat in the corner with the glass.

……

After a long while, the door of the cafe was opened again.

"Hello, welcome to Morning Café."

"Hey, why is Ying here today? Is Charles on holiday?"

Ying looked up and found that it was a familiar face, Senior Kaia from Mond's Class 2.

"Charles went back for the Spring Festival holiday. I came here to work and earn some pocket money. Would you like something to drink?"

Kaiya smiled inexplicably, and then said without even glancing at the menu: "Then let's have a glass of Cang Gu Sunset!"

Ying turned around and was about to make a drink when Kaiya quickly added, "By the way, don't add juice to my Cang Gu Sunset!"

Ying had just picked up the coffee cup and was about to do it, but when she heard Kaiya's words, she stopped and looked back at Kaiya with a strange look: "Are you serious?"

Kaiya leaned one hand on the front desk, leaned sideways, raised an eyebrow and smiled as he replied: "What do you think?"

Ying felt a little helpless. She turned around, filled the coffee cup with boiled water, and pushed it in front of Kaia.

"Your Cang Gu Sunset doesn't have juice, it's 10 bucks."

"Ying, I suddenly don't want it anymore, can I withdraw?"

She gave Kaia a white look and took back the cup of boiled water version of Cang Gu Sunset. If there were not so few customers today, she would not have bothered to mess around with Kaia.

Ying poured out the water, placed the coffee cup in the sink, and returned to the front desk to continue serving guests.

"Anything else?"

"Then...a glass of freshly squeezed grapefruit and orange fruit!"

This time Ying didn't do it immediately, but waited there, because she felt that Kaiya would definitely not be that simple.

"Where's the request?"

Ying took the initiative and went directly to Kaiya to ask for his request.

"Requests..." Kaiya thought for a moment, "Two fresh oranges, without any peel, cut into thin slices, and extract the essence!"

Ying followed Kaiya's request and took out two oranges from the refrigerator, peeled them, checked them, cut them into small pieces with a knife, put them into the juicer and squeezed out 1/4 cup of orange juice. Then she showed Kaiya the orange juice and asked:

"What else do you want?"

"Also... I want a pomelo, peel it and take out the flesh. There can't be any skin inside. Cut it into fine pieces and take out the essence!"

Ying rolled her eyes at Kaiya again, and made it as requested again. Just as she was about to add sugar and water, Kaiya spoke again.

"Give me another half pound of grapefruit peels. There can't be any flesh inside. Cut them into fine pieces and extract their essence!"

Hearing this, Ying put down the drink she was making, rolled up her sleeves, turned around and shouted at Kaia viciously:

"Are you here to make fun of me?"

"Hahaha... Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Just do it like this and give it to me!"

"..."

Not long after the juice Kaia ordered was ready, the cafe welcomed customers again.

"Hello, welcome..."

Ying stopped talking before she saw someone coming in, because the person who came in was the owner of the Dawn Café - Diluk.

"Hey, why is Senior Diluk here? Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year?"

Diluk walked to the chair next to the front desk and sat down. While observing the cafe, he answered: "The Spring Festival is just a day to reunite with my family, but I don't need this day."

"..."

Ying didn't think of any answer, she just quietly wiped the coffee cup.

"Let's have a cup of Cang Gu Sunset."

Diluk glanced at the menu and named a drink.

After talking about the drinks, Diluk sat there for a while. Seeing Ying standing there looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Because of Kaiya's previous experience, Ying planned to wait until the customers had stated all their requirements before starting to make the drinks.

"Uh...senior, don't you have any requirements? Like, taste or something?"

“No, the original version is fine.”

"okay!"

Yingcai went to do it with peace of mind, while Kaeya and Diluk chatted there.

Before I finished drinking one cup, another customer arrived.

Ying thought that there were more and more customers, so she went back and found another familiar face.

"Huh~ There's actually a liquor store open! Give me a cider!"

The man greeted Ying as soon as he entered the door, and ordered a drink without even looking at the menu.

"Ok."

Before the echo of Ying's words faded away, Diluk took over the conversation.

"What's the matter, Wendy? Please give me the money first."

Wendy stood at the door in a daze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll put it on the account first and pay it back later!"

Diluk did not speak, but took out a scroll from his pocket, spread it out and rolled it to the door. There were some words written on it. A closer look revealed that one word after another was written on it.

[Wendy, February 2, bought two drinks, unpaid]

[Wendy, February 2, bought three drinks, unpaid]

[Wendy, February 2, bought three drinks, unpaid]

Looking at the date above, I have no idea how much money Wendy owes for wine. No wonder Diluk doesn't let him buy on credit.

Wendy looked at the long IOU and felt embarrassed to continue buying on credit, so she thought of another way.

"Then I'll play a poem to pay you! I'm the best bard in Shenyuan City!"

Diluk took out a remote control and turned on the music in the cafe, then looked at Wendy.

"Do you think I need it?"

"Uh……"

Wendy looked at Ying at the front desk again, then took out a hairpin with a blue exclamation mark from her pocket, put it on her head, walked in front of Ying, and looked at her with sincere eyes.

"Traveler! Wendy has sent you a world quest."

Ying looked at these familiar yet unfamiliar words and felt helpless.

"What are you doing~ Ouch~ It's no use looking for me, Senior Diluk has the final say here, this is his place."

Seeing that her search was fruitless, Venti had no choice but to kneel down and beg Diluk again.

"Diluk~ Can I have a glass of cider, please? Can I? Can I?"

Diluk couldn't stand Wendy's glaring eyes, and said half-hiddenly: "If you can attract more customers to the current cafe, I will treat you to cider."

"Really!!!!"

"Ah."

"Can I borrow Ying for a while?!"

"can."

Ying (a humble tool): "What does it have to do with me?"

Then, Wendy took Ying out of the cafe.

after a while……

Ying stood at the entrance of the cafe holding a bunch of flyers. She blushed and said:

"Are you sure it will work if I hand out flyers dressed like this?"

Wendy looked at it and hesitated for a moment.

"Hey~"

"What does hey mean? Let's get down to business, Wendy!"

"I'm going to help you distribute flyers somewhere else. I'm leaving now!"

Wendy took some flyers from Ying's bag and walked away.

Ying was helpless. She could have stayed in the cafe and enjoyed the heating, but now she was forced to come out and blow the cold wind wearing thin clothes.

……

"The Morning Café is open during the Spring Festival and is very happy! There are no sheep drinking water in the cafe! Sir, come and take a look!"

"No, I'm busy, let's do it another day!"
