(BL) Mr li, you're so scum! (translation)

8- Coincidence

~August 24~

Today is the last follow-up visit for Luo Jingli’s mother after the operation.

"Be careful, Ma. Are you tired? We can take a break if you're tired." Along the way, Luo Jingli helped his mother carefully to the ophthalmology counter register for the visit and to pick up the queue number.

"I'm fine, are you tired?"

"I’m okay ma, come, sit down and rest."

Soon after, it was their turn to see the doctor. After Luo Jingli sent his mother into the doctor’s office, he suddenly had the urge to go to the bathroom. As Luo Jingli knew that it would take a long time for his mother to be done, he went to the toilet after telling his mother. However, when he came back from the toilet, Luo Jingli passed by the pharmacy and heard a familiar voice.

"Yandong, are you okay? Is your stomach still aching? Why did you drink so much wine last night? Be careful."

After hearing that, Luo Jingli unconsciously trembled for a moment and immediately wanted to run away.

It's Him! Why is He here? Yandong... isn't that Mr. Fu? Why would the two of them be here? Pain? Wine? What is going on? Luo Jingli sped up his walking pace as he thought to himself. It's not allowed to run in the hospital.

Then, a gentle voice came from behind, causing him to walk even faster.

"Isn't that Luo Jingli? Jingli!"

After Luo Jingli heard it, he made a run for it in fear.

However, he was suddenly caught by the hand by a person behind him, and almost lost his balance and fell. Fortunately, the person grabbing him reacted quickly and caught him just before he hit the ground. Luo Jingli heard a familiar voice, causing him to return back to his senses.

"Luo Jingli, why are you running? I finally found you..." Li Zheng said as he pulled Luo Jingli into his arms.

"Sorry, sir, I think you've recognised the wrong person. I am not the Luo Jingli you are speaking of." Luo Jingli told a clumsy lie as he tried to push away the hand tightening around his wrist.

"Are you trying to pretend that you don’t know me? If you don’t recognise me, what are you running for? Huh?" Li Zheng said as he leaned down and wanted to kiss the person in front of him.

But before his lips touched Luo Jingli’s face, a loud slap fell on his face. Li Zheng was stunned and at a loss for a while, unconsciously letting go of Luo Jingli. Luo Jingli took advantage of this and sprinted off. After Li Zheng came back to his senses, Luo Jingli had long disappeared.

When Luo Jingli returned to the ophthalmology department, his mothers was also done seeing the doctor, so when she just came out, she could not help but feel a little worried when she saw Luo Jingli's pale face.

"Jingli, what's the matter with you? Why is your face so pale? Do you need to see a doctor?"

"I... I’m okay ma. Come on, let's go home. What did the doctor say just now?" Luo Jingli was afraid that Li Zheng would catch up, and thus took his mother’s hand gently and went towards the exit of the hospital.

"Oh, it's nothing. The doctor said that I'm recovering very well and I won't need to come back anymore in the future. I just need to rest well, that’s all." Mother Luo said as they hurried out of the hospital.

"That's good. Oh yeah, ma, I will stay with you from now on." Luo Jingli said with relief.

There is nothing to worry about as long as Ma is happy and healthy...

After a few days, Luo Jingli gradually forgot about the encounter with Li Zheng in the hospital. His life seemed to be back to the time when he had never seen Li Zheng -- cooking for his Mother daily, occasionally taking her out for a walk. Of course, he also had to work harder to find a job, after all, although he still has a few thousand dollars left, it is not enough to feed his mother and himself for a lifetime.

After bumping into Luo Jingli in the hospital, Li Zheng immediately sent someone to search for Luo Jingli's whereabouts as well as his home address, but unfortunately they still couldn’t find it. While listening to his subordinates report their findings, Li Zheng was thinking about where Luo Jingli might have gone. He believed that Luo Jingli would not return to school, but he would definitely find a job. Remembering the delicious mocha that Luo Jingli made when they first met, Li Zheng suddenly had an idea and called Assistant Liu into the office.

"I remember we have a cafe under the company’s name. Go and arrange for them to recruit some employees. Remember, you must hire Luo Jingli! The salary can be set at 3 thousand a month. After Luo Jingli takes the job, go and follow him secretly." Li Zheng instructed, "Also, remember to get the applicant's address in the application materials."

Authors' Notes:

L: The salary used to be 15 thousand, but I think that's a bit too much for a barista??

J: I made it 3000, 8000 is still way too much, and 3000 was already for top tiered baristas. It's the kind of price that is higher than normal but still acceptable. (I searched Google)

J: Li Zheng is such a scum, so rude and impolite, it makes me wanna beat him up!

L: True, but our Luo Jingli likes this kind of man. What can we do?

J: *mutter to myself* This story has no logic, no logic, no logic!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!! Gosh!!

L: This is life~~
