Chapter 1185: Provocation

He didn’t drink milk tea, as he disliked such cloying things, and instead went to the small supermarket in the neighborhood to buy a bottle of water.

Rinsed his mouth, then drank half the bottle.

It was almost ten o’clock when Yaen Chi got in the car, but he didn’t know which direction to drive.

In the convenience store.

The later it got, the fewer customers came in.

Ye Wanting finally found time to take out her medical materials to study.

She cleaned the small table, placed her study materials on it, and a person standing nearby placed a cup of hot water on her table.

The cup was disposable, still steaming.

Ye Wanting looked up and smiled, “Thank you.”

“Are you studying medicine?”

The guy’s name was Wu Xiao, from the Firefighting University, a prospective firefighter, with a righteous look, not having any wild hair color, a crew cut.

He was young but had a trendy dressing style, slightly leaning towards casual.

Usually, many female college students would come to see him and would dawdle for a long time just to pay at the cashier.

When Ye Wanting came, he was already there.

At first glance, she thought he must be good at mingling with girls, and often seemed to doze off at work, but with further interactions, she found out he didn’t have such intentions.

His family situation was good, and he worked part-time for his own pocket money, not relying on his family since high school.

He had good character, no wonder the handsome ones were assigned to the state.

“Yes, are you interested too?”

Wu Xiao shook his head, “I can’t understand this at all.

In school during the day, we train physically the entire time.

It’s exhausting, but I think you’re amazing, there doesn’t seem to be anything you can’t comprehend.”

Ye Wanting chuckled, “Different professions, I think you’re amazing too.

By the way, was the hot pot I brought back for you tonight delicious?”

“Delicious, the soup base was nice.

I’ll treat you to it next time.”

Ye Wanting agreed with a smile.

Wu Xiao said, “There’s no one around now, I’ll nap beside you for a bit, call me if any customers come in.”

Okay.

Wu Xiao stood up and sat down by the long table near the window.

He lifted the chair and gently placed it down, and without anything under his hand, he just lay down and slept.

Ye Wanting consciously made the noise of flipping through books quieter.

In half an hour, someone else would come for the shift.

During that time, two customers came in.

Ye Wanting went to greet them.

They picked some drinks and left.

Ye Wanting was just about to step out from behind the cashier when the soft plastic door curtain was yanked open, and three staggering men entered.

Ye Wanting smelled a strong alcohol odor, her brow furrowed slightly and then relaxed.

She softly said, “Feel free to look around.”

“Look, look at what?”

A man, roughly in his forties, lazily leaned against the counter, using his perpetually alcohol-toxified fish-like eyes to leer at Ye Wanting, “Look at you, little girl?”

Ye Wanting was starting to feel uncomfortable.

She had encountered drunken customers before; the best strategy was to ignore them and not engage.

“Hello, the items are over there, please look around.”

Ye Wanting gestured towards the beverage section.

The man didn’t move, still slouched there, brazenly eyeing Ye Wanting from top to bottom, rubbing his chin and chuckling, “How free do you mean, can I take you for a feel?”

He unexpectedly reached out towards Ye Wanting’s face.

She instinctively pushed his hand away.

“Ouch!”

Although she didn’t use much force, the man suddenly fell back, crashing into the drink cabinet by the door.

The other two men, who were choosing items inside, heard the commotion and came out.

After one glance, they rolled up their sleeves and moved towards Ye Wanting.

“You want to fight, huh, you little brat!”
