Chapter 8, The boss is more demanding than a flood

As soon as the words fell, a loud sound of a heavy object striking was heard.

"Huh!" Luo Xiaoyi curled up her body and, in a daze, opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw an enormous shadow standing on her bed, and on that shadow were a pair of eerie green eyes, as large as copper bells!

Xiao Guang yawned widely, carelessly took off his second-hand clothes, revealing the burlap undergarment underneath. With his bare arms, he lay down on the wooden block to the right, and grunted at Luo Xiaoyi: "Sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow"

Having said that, with a flick of his sleeve, Lan He sent Luo Xiaoyi, who was tugging at his hem, stumbling to the ground, and then he gracefully vanished through the back door of the tavern

With his eyes wide open, he stared at the pitch-black ceiling, and for a moment, he felt no trace of sleepiness. Hearing the sound of Xiao Guang turning over, Luo Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Guang, the contract we signed with the young master states that we can only sleep at the hour of the rat. Why are we finishing so early today?"

With a full belly and taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, Luo Xiaoyi, who had already gorged himself, followed behind Xiaoguang towards the housing. As he rubbed his belly, he suddenly felt a wave of happiness, especially when he thought about this time yesterday when he was curled up sleeping in the alley. At the slightest sound of wind or barking dogs, he would wake up and look around in alarm. The contrast was so stark that it was hard not to feel happy.

Slowly getting up from the ground, Luo Xiaoyi looked at the figure of Lan He with a cheerful smile, her distinctly black and white eyes blinking a few times. With the surname Lan, the days ahead are long, and I do not believe that the cunning and resourceful me cannot deal with you

Thus, in the time that followed, Luo Xiaoyi closely followed behind Xiao Guang to familiarize herself with the situation. After trailing for less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Xiaoyi pouted and secretly thought to herself that being a waiter really required no skill at all, which was truly a waste of my great talent

Upon seeing those peculiar large eyes, "Ah—" Luo Xiaoyi opened his mouth and let out a sharp scream: "There’s a ghost!" Before the sound had fully escaped, a massive fleshy palm covered his lips. Then, a deep and resonant voice angrily shouted: "Luo Xiaoyi, it’s the hour of the tiger, do you still want to stay in bed? If you scream again, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Xiao Guang blinked his small eyes a few times and asked in confusion, "What?"

Why does this sound seem so familiar? That's right, it seems to be the sound of a meat cutting board

Even in the city of Luoyang, as soon as night falls, the number of pedestrians decreases significantly. The taverns tend to close later than other businesses, and by around 5 PM, they can finally rest.

She grabbed a piece of blackened, tattered cloth and sniffed it; hmm, it didn't have any peculiar smell. After the inspection, Luo Xiaoyi happily burrowed into the bed

Xiao Guang was taken aback and turned his head to look at Luo Xiaoyi. Outside, it was pitch dark, and he could only vaguely see the figure of Luo Xiaoyi twisting on the bed. He couldn't help but ask with concern: "Xiao Yi, what happened?"

After taking another hearty bite, Luo Xiaoyi followed Xiao Guang with small, delicate steps into a small wooden cabin. Inside the cabin, two simple beds were constructed from two pieces of rotten wood, each covered with some straw and a thin, dark fabric. Beside them lay a piece of tattered cloth, presumably intended for use as a blanket.

Next, Luo Xiaoyi kept her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling in the darkness, trying to find a good way to take revenge while staring the ceiling down to the point of breaking it.

Carefully sitting down on the edge of the bed, I shook my hips with some force. Hmm, this rotten piece of wood is surprisingly sturdy.

Lan He cast a cold glance at Luo Xiaoyi and sneered, "Do all women foam at the mouth upon seeing me? Do you think I am poison? Or a locust?" His voice was extremely cold, and he was satisfied to see Luo Xiaoyi shiver. Only then did Lan He slow down his tone and leisurely say, "Starting tomorrow, Xiao Yi, you will officially begin your work. While there is still time, make sure to familiarize yourself with Xiao Guang on how to be a good assistant. Remember, be careful in your work"

Luo Xiaoyi's lips twitched slightly, and she asked again, "Xiao Guang, don't you all do this?"

Lan He was laughing heartily when suddenly his expression turned cold. Just as he was in high spirits, his face changed so abruptly, truly like Lan He's face, changing as quickly as the weather in June

Xiao Guang yawned again, turned over to face away from Luo Xiaoyi, and murmured: "Of course not, you are the first!"

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with any solution. After months of anxiety and fear, Luo Xiaoyi soon fell into a sweet slumber. Just as she was having a pleasant dream, Luo Xiaoyi suddenly felt a chill run through her body, followed by a bone-chilling cold that one would only experience in the depths of winter.

Thus, a grin split his lips, followed by a couple of silly chuckles. As this foolish smile appeared, the crowd erupted in laughter, doubling over in amusement. Even Lan He chuckled lightly; his deep and melodious laughter caused Luo Xiaoyi to feel dizzy, her heart racing, and her eyes rolling back!

After a long while, Luo Xiaoyi's weak voice finally came through: "It's nothing much, we just tried it a moment ago to see whether the bed board is hard or our heads are hard."

Xiao Guang yawned lazily and said: "That is because according to the contract, you must tidy up the tables and chairs, clean the floor, and wash and put away the dishes only after all the guests have been settled. By the time you finish these tasks, it will certainly be the hour of Zi."

Luo Xiaoyi said painfully: "It's nothing, we finally know that this bed board is much harder than our heads." He resentfully added in his heart: Lan and that damn bastard are indeed much more polite to us than to others! Hmph, it's a pity that just when I had filled my stomach earlier, I was happily preparing to be magnanimous and let this kid off!

Luo Xiaoyi responded softly, stealing a glance at Xiao Guang, who had turned around and did not notice her. After letting out a sigh of relief, she slowly began to take off her waiter uniform. Once the outer garment was removed, it was revealed that she was wearing three or four layers of tattered undergarments underneath.

Just as it was mentioned here, a burst of light laughter came, which gradually turned into a roar of laughter. Only when she heard the low chuckle from Lan He above her head did Luo Xiaoyi dazedly look up at him. His silly expression made the laughter of the crowd even louder, and Luo Xiaoyi, feeling completely puzzled, touched the back of her head, deciding to let it go and just laugh along!
