Chapter 190 – Two Senior Sisters
As the sun sets and red clouds fly over the western mountains, little fatty finished target shooting and returned to the camp.
“We had live ammunition shooting, and I also fired two shots, ‘bang bang’, the sound was really loud!” Guo Ziyi, who had just returned from military training, ran to the Street Corner’s Coffee Shop to look for Yang Yi and proudly talked about his military training experience.
After a few days of military training, little fatty had become even darker and had lost a bit of weight. Apart from his still-round face, he had shed a lot of excess fat from his body.
Yang Yi wiped the glass with a smile and listened quietly.
“It’s a pity the food was a bit poor, otherwise I might have stayed in the military camp and not come back!” Little fatty reminisced about his time in military training and said with some emotion.
Chen Yijie’s song was playing on the coffee shop’s speakers, which reminded little fatty of something. He smiled and said, “Right, when we had the literary and artistic performance later on, many people wanted to sign up to sing the song you wrote to Chen Yijie “Long Time No See”.
“Shh!” Yang Yi glared at Guo Ziyi and looked around. Fortunately, the customers were sitting a bit far away, and no one paid attention to their conversation.
Guo Ziyi shrank his head and chuckled a bit embarrassed, “Right, I forgot. Keep a low profile, keep a low profile.”
“Did you not perform anything?” Yang Yi asked curiously.
Based on his understanding of Guo Ziyi, this guy still liked to show off, especially on stage.
“Yes! But it wasn’t singing!” Guo Ziyi proudly said, “I organized a sketch about life in the army with my classmates, and I even came up with the script myself. We won applause from the whole audience during the performance. Compared to those from the Performing Arts Department, we performed much better!
Okay, he still hadn’t let go of his resentment in his heart and liked to constantly compete with the people from the Performing Arts Department.
“Excuse me, I need to buy coffee.” Just as Guo Ziyi was still rambling about his military training experience, a tired female voice came from behind him.
Guo Ziyi turned around in surprise, his eyes flashed with a hint of amazement.
It was a very delicate and pretty girl, not tall, with short hair, to be precise, a student haircut with bangs that made her look neat and tidy, and also had a somewhat ancient flavor.
Interestingly, she was holding several books in her hand and dressed in black and white tones, which added more historical charm.
“?”
Meeting the gaze of Guo Ziyi, the girl furrowed her brows slightly and looked towards him with a questioning expression in her eyes.
“You go, you go!” Guo Ziyi quickly smiled and gave way.
The girl no longer paid attention to Guo Ziyi. She walked up and said to Yang Yi calmly, “I want Robusta, one cup, to go.”
“Wait a moment,” Yang Yi nodded and started making the coffee. ｂｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
While waiting, the girl boredly examined the decoration of the coffee shop when she inadvertently turned her head and caught the intense gaze of Guo Ziyi, who was leaning against the counter next to her.
This was awkward. The girl furrowed her brows and looked at Guo Ziyi with some disgust. Guo Ziyi felt embarrassed and said, “Uh, this, that… “
“I was looking at the book you’re holding!” Guo Ziyi quickly came up with a reason, “Ross’s ‘Three Laws of Acting’, I’ve read it.”
Indeed, among the books that the girl was holding, there was one titled “The Three Laws of Acting” by the famous theatrical performer Ross. This reason was quite reasonable, and the girl withdrew the hostility in her eyes. However, she didn’t have the intention of continuing the conversation with Guo Ziyi, and just replied with a “hmm”, and when Yang Yi finished packaging her coffee, she turned and left.
Yang Yi had no intention of exposing Guo Ziyi’s disguise, but he was quite interested. After the girl left, Guo Ziyi couldn’t wait to lower his voice and say to Yang Yi, “Du Yuanlei, a talented girl from the Film Academy’s Directing Department. She is both talented and beautiful. She’s a first-year graduate student and she happens to be in the same year as me.” 1
“Graduate student?” Yang Yi was a bit surprised, then smiled and patted the shoulder of little fatty, “Then you’d better give up, it’s better not to have any ideas about her.”
“Why?” Guo Ziyi immediately asked dissatisfiedly. He really liked this type of girl who was delicate and pretty.
“Because of the age gap!” Yang Yi counted on his fingers and explained, “You’re currently in your first year, while she’s in graduate school. Normally, she should be around 22 or 23 years old, but you’re only 16! There’s a six or seven-year gap, isn’t this gap a bit big? If the roles were reversed, and you were a graduate student, it would be like finding a freshman as your girlfriend!”
“Really? Wait until graduate school to fall in love?” Guo Ziyi said dejectedly, “Is it wrong to go to college early? Actually, I don’t think age is a problem.”
Yang Yi thought about it carefully and thought Guo Ziyi wasn’t entirely wrong. He smiled and patted Guo Ziyi’s shoulder, saying, “Okay then, I wish you luck in pursuing your senior sister, if you really have such a firm determination.”
“I don’t have any confidence!” Guo Ziyi wailed. “Big Brother Yang, please give me some advice.”
After joking for a while, Guo Ziyi said with great interest, “Big Brother Yang, I feel like your coffee shop is getting more and more popular! It’s only been a while, but customers have come in several waves.”
“Hmm, but I still hope there are fewer people. Too many customers are hard to handle.” Yang Yi pursed his lips and gestured to the door. “Didn’t I put up a recruitment notice? I want to hire one or two shop assistance to take care of things so I can relax.”
“A recruitment notice? Let me go take a look!” Guo Ziyi said in surprise. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he turned and ran out to see.
A little while later, Guo Ziyi ran back excitedly. “Big Brother Yang, do the people you’re hiring really have to know how to make handmade coffee? Can’t someone who doesn’t know about it do it?” 2
Yang Yi looked at him and shook his head. “You? You’re no good. You’re lazy.”
It would definitely be someone respectable.
“How could it be me,” Guo Ziyi said with a smile. “I’m a man who wants to become an actor. I don’t have time to work for you! I meant my senior sister. She’s quite nice, but her family isn’t well off, so she needs to work to make money.”
“Didn’t I tell you last time that I went to the bar to have fun on the day I came to report? My senior sister works as a cleaner at that bar, and its really hard work! I think if you’re looking for someone to hire, why not let my senior sister give it a try? It’s better than having her, a girl, work in such a dangerous place like a bar!” Guo Ziyi has a bit of chivalrous heart.
“Senior sister?” Yang Yi furrowed his brows and looked at Guo Ziyi suspiciously. “Is she another object of your admiration? Don’t use my business to do you a favor. I am looking for coffee shop staff, not beauties for you to admire.”
Guo Ziyi protested, “How could that be? Senior sister Ding isn’t pretty, and she’s skinny and dark-skinned. How could I possibly like her? It’s mainly because she helped me a lot when school started, and I also want to help her!”
“To be honest, my senior sister has a good character and is particularly hardworking. She is diligent and proactive in her work! It’s just that she may not know how to brew coffee and she doesn’t have money to drink one!” Guo Ziyi earnestly recommended.
Yang Yi nodded slightly and said, “If that’s the case, as long as she’s willing to learn, I can teach her.”
It was settled like that. Guo Ziyi excitedly left Yang Yi behind and ran back to school to find her senior sister. They arranged for her to come to Yang Yi’s coffee shop the next day for an “interview”.
