So, she stepped aside and saw a snack stand beside the restaurant where a middle-aged woman was currently busy. She went over and asked, “Aunt, can you give me some water?”
The middle-aged woman took a quick look at her and pointed to one side. “There’s a bucket at the back. The water inside is clean.”
“Thank you.” She smiled in reply and walked to the back.
The restaurant’s waiter looked askance from the door and snorted. Just as he was about to go in, he saw that the little beggar who came to the back of the stall took off his ragged clothes and revealed a blue robe inside, though not a splendid one, it was clean and tidy.
Especially, when the little beggar washed his face. The face, which had been so dull and greyish that one could not see his facial features, now exposed his true appearance. That handsome profile and a pair of cunning eyes glowing with vigour made the waiter stupefied.
Nowadays, there truly were all kinds of people…
Obviously, he was an elegant young master, but he disguised himself as a little beggar. What a weird person.
Thinking that he had just driven him away, he could only recoil. As he intended to slip away, someone tapped him on the shoulder with both hands. “Waiter, where’s my friend?”
He waited for the little beggar inside but the boy didn’t turn up, so he came out to look for him to no avail. So, he came downstairs to inquire.
“What, what friend?” The waiter asked in a cold sweat.
“Of course, it’s the little beggar who followed me! I went upstairs and didn’t see him come in. Did you drive him away? ” Zhu Yue stared at the waiter. After seeing the waiter’s guilty look, he was even more sure.
“Did you really drive him away?”
“No, no…” The waiter answered in a cold sweat.
“No? Why didn’t he come in if you didn’t drive him away? What kind of restaurant are you? Do you have a habit of chasing guests away? Where’s the manager? Get him here! ” He shouted angrily.
“Young master, please calm down, calm down.” The manager came out and responded with a smile.
“Calm down? How can I calm my anger now that your waiter drove my friend away?” Zhu Yue raised his voice, glaring angrily at the manager.
“This…” The manager hesitated and shouted at the waiter on one side. “Why haven’t you quickly apologized to this young man?”
“No, I won’t accept the verbal apology!” He learned from the little beggar.
Hearing this, the manager was stunned. After some thoughts, he said, “Then, I’ll give you our restaurant’s signature suckling pig to make amends to you? Young Master, please be magnanimous and don’t take offence.”
Zhu Yue didn’t say a word after hearing it. He grabbed the waiter’s lapel. “Where’s my friend? Where did you drive him away? ”
“This, Young Master, he’s there!” The waiter pointed to the person washing his face behind the stall.
Zhu Yue looked over and saw that the young man was dressed in blue and had a beautiful face. He kicked the waiter. “My friend is a little beggar!”
The waiter pulled a long face and quickly answered Zhu Yue. “It’s him. It’s really him. He took off the beggar’s clothes and washed his face. It’s like that. I watched him from here. Really, I’m not lying.”
Zhu Yue froze for a moment and stared at the boy in blue again. Once he looked, his lips twitched.
Yes, who else could it be? Even if he had changed his clothes and washed his face, didn’t he still sport a beggar’s messy hair that looks like a bird’s nest?
