Chapter 23: Bai Rourou’s Worry

“Sis, please help yourself~”

The girl bent down slowly, placing the tray she was holding onto the table, then carefully carried each cup of the mixed drinks forward one by one.

“This one is ‘On the Thorns,’ this one is ‘Early Summer,’ and this one is ‘Under the Moon.’”

With each cup, the girl introduced its name and didn’t forget to gently remind Rou Rou, “’On the Thorns’ is a bit spicy, so be careful when you drink it.”

“Rou Rou is really pretty.”

There was only one woman seated in the booth.

She reached out her hand to pull the girl closer with a smile and said, “Can I touch your face? I heard you’re not wearing any makeup.”

“Yes, you can.”

The girl obediently bent her body lower, pressing her fair little face in front of the woman.

Her clear deer-like eyes blinked sincerely, “But I did put on some makeup—I have eyeliner at the corners of my eyes.”

Looking at the exceptionally well-behaved girl in front of her, the woman’s heart fluttered slightly.

She instinctively reached out and slowly covered the girl’s face with her palm, gently stroking with her fingertips.

So naturally smooth.

But more than that—

The woman’s attention was completely captured by the girl’s especially beautiful eyes.

What a lovely pair of eyes.

Transparent, pure. From those eyes alone, one could instinctively feel the pure innocence naturally emanating from her.

“Sis, have you finished touching?”

The girl’s voice remained soft, “I still have to keep delivering drinks.”

“Ah.”

The woman snapped back to reality and hurriedly withdrew her hand. “Alright, alright.”

“Then goodbye, sis. I hope you enjoy your drinks.”

As the gentle voice faded away, the girl swiftly left, leaving behind a charming, sweet fragrance.

A faint warmth still lingered between the woman’s palm and fingertips from the girl’s delicate face.

She was stunned for a moment before lifting a cup of wine and taking a gentle sip.

“What an enchanting little white rabbit.”

This was the unanimous thought of most people at the Moonflower Garden tonight.

In fact, many people came with bad intentions, but once they truly interacted with the girl and locked eyes with her,

In an instant, it was as if their souls had been cleansed, and the bad intentions dissolved without a trace.

Instinctively, they wanted to protect this obedient little white rabbit, to keep her safe from corruption.

There might be real villains, but none appeared on the little white rabbit’s first day at work. Everything went smoothly—it was a very good start.

“Sister Zhuang, it’s already eleven o’clock. Can I get off work now?”

Bai Rourou glanced at the clock and thought it was perfect to finish work at this time every day.

“Of course.”

Zhuang Yan readily took out a wad of cash from her pocket and handed it to Bai Rourou.

“Giving you cash on your first day is a good omen.”

Bai Rourou took the money and counted it excitedly—five bills in total. She immediately brightened up. “Thank you, Sister Zhuang! You’re so generous!”

“I should be thanking you, Rou Rou.”

Zhuang Yan was clearly happier.

Tonight, more than a dozen customers had already asked for Rou Rou’s name.

It was foreseeable that as long as Bai Rourou worked here, these customers would become very loyal.

Though it was secretly a gathering place for women, about half of the customers just came to avoid harassment from men and to relax and have some fun.

This type of customer usually had very low loyalty, but Bai Rourou’s arrival had, to some extent, strengthened this segment’s attachment.

A welcome and fortunate development, as these customers generally had decent spending power.

“Well then, Sister Zhuang, I’m off.”

Bai Rourou waved her small hand and happily went to change clothes.

She really was silly for not coming here to work sooner.

Just one night had earned her five hundred yuan, whereas last month, she had exhausted herself tutoring and only earned about four to five thousand yuan.

There was no comparison at all.

Although she was often hugged and held by customers, Bai Rourou considered it a perk.

Some customers were stunningly cool and beautiful!

Holding the newly received paycheck, Bai Rourou turned to the supermarket to buy a large batch of groceries—flour and other ingredients.

The tasks also required her to make breakfast by hand, and the formal classes would start soon…………

“Wait, doesn’t military training end right around National Day? No, wait, maybe that holiday doesn’t exist in this world.”

Her memory was a bit confused.

She took out her phone and checked to confirm there was no such holiday, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If there was another super long holiday, the breakfast task would be delayed a lot.

Back at home, Bai Rourou saw Gong Nanxue’s shoes by the entrance and knew Nanxue must be in her room.

She first put all the bags in the kitchen to sort them out.

“There’s even a soy milk maker!”

Bai Rourou carefully searched the kitchen and suddenly realized that the utensils were quite complete—at least enough to cook all the cuisines she currently knew.

“This house probably wasn’t meant to be rented out. How else would they let it go?”

Bai Rourou didn’t think much of it.

After tidying up, she started making steamed buns.

Tonight, she planned to make some plain steamed buns and put them in the freezer since the fridge was so big.

Then she could sleep in a little tomorrow morning—while she still had a few days before classes officially started.

“While they’re proofing, I’ll make some late-night snacks.”

At this temperature, proofing for just over half an hour would be enough.

She went to ask Gong Nanxue if she wanted any.

She lightly knocked on the door, and after a moment, Gong Nanxue opened it.

“What’s up?”

Nanxue was dressed casually, her hair messy, with a headset on.

Even so, her stunning looks were undeniable.

She had a kind of effortless cool.

“I wanted to ask if you want to eat something for a late-night snack?”

Bai Rourou whispered, “If you want some, I can make a portion for you too.”

Hearing “late-night snack,” Nanxue suddenly felt a bit hungry.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Noodles would be fine. Fried noodles or fried rice noodles, whichever you want. What do you want, Sister Nan?”

Eating something dry late at night, Nanxue immediately chose fried rice noodles.

“I want thin fried rice noodles with some chili in them.”

“Got it!”

Fried rice noodles were simple.

About twenty minutes later, Bai Rourou brought a steaming plate of fried rice noodles and knocked on Nanxue’s door.

“Thanks.”

Nanxue glanced at the noodles, reached out, took them, and closed the door.

Leaving Bai Rourou standing there, dumbfounded.

Why did it feel like she was despised?

Not even a chance to step inside and sit down.

But it was okay.

Bai Rourou didn’t really like Nanxue’s style anyway.

She quickly forgot and cheerfully went back to eat her own serving.

“I’ll take a shower and change clothes later.”

Speaking of which, Zhuang Yan had told her to bring back her work clothes, saying she needed to keep personal items herself.

That made sense. If left in the busy, nosy bar, what if someone with ill intentions sneaked into the dressing room?

“There are still quite a few troublesome things.”

These were all manageable, but what Bai Rourou worried about the most was the photos Cai Jinger had in her hands.

So sinister! It was one thing to bully her, but to take pictures and continue to threaten her?

Pretty, but with such a vicious heart!
