my friend's father

chapter 9

Although classes had already started some time ago, the campus festivities were just beginning. The charity fair was a university tradition, it was organized by the seniors and the freshmen worked. Each course would be responsible for some type of sales stall and the money raised would go to a charity. The Administration course took over the beer and snacks sales stand. Some students would be in charge of supplying food and drinks, others would act as cashiers and some selected students would serve the tables, unfortunately Yibo had been one of those selected.

     A-Yuan would be in charge of the supply, basically he would pick up the crates of drinks that would be sold at the stall which also consisted of carrying huge barrels of beer. The boy had noticed that Yibo had been a little different lately, he seemed more thoughtful and even quieter. Cheng had also commented, but when asked, yibo said everything was fine. 

     They were getting their aprons and Yuan took advantage of the fact that they were alone.

     " There Boo. " He called while Yibo tied the apron around his neck. " Are you okay? "

      " With that aunt from Feira look? Not even. " he was wearing skinny jeans, a basic white shirt and, of course, his high-heeled boots.

       " I'm not talking about that. You know. "

       " I'm fine, it's just that there's a lot on my mind right now. "

       " You know you can say anything to me, right? "

     "Of course I know. But I don't..."

   The locker room door was opened by the class representative looking for the students.

     " Come on guys. There's already a crowd arriving. Don't forget to put on your full uniform. "

     " Even not if my life depended on it. You will never see Wang Yibo wearing a cap with a chicken on it. " He said, leaving quickly, it would be a huge affront to his good taste, even if the sponsor of his stall had asked for it. 

     Yuan could only laugh at his friend, Yibo was truly a character.

      As soon as they went to the patio they saw that some stalls already seemed full. As most of the people serving the tables were girls, this ended up attracting the male public  to the Administration course tent. Yibo had to deal with a few customers who were disrespectful to him, but nothing he couldn't handle.

    The night was too long for the students and the tent became more crowded with each passing hour. Yuan now helped wait tables as the work became too much for just the small group. Yibo was already tired, his head had a thousand and one things going around and he couldn't stop is ' his Gege. '

      " Hey princess, why don't you sit here for a bit and keep us company. " said one of the customers while Yibo served him another mug of beer.

       " Beer, water, soft drinks and snacks are on the menu. Other than that, nothing. " He responded quickly.

       " What a sharp tongue, it must work wonders. "

       " And she does. But an insect like you will never have the pleasure of feeling that. "

A-Yuan, who was a few tables away, could see some movement at the table and watched carefully.

      " How much does a cutie like you charge? " the moment the man said that, Yibo threw beer at him.

       " Not even if you had all the money in the world would I let you touch your filthy hands to me. " the other guys at the table started laughing and the drunk put his hand on Yibo's ass as soon as he turned his back.
