Amandine's Invisibility Cloak

Chapter 10 Warmth in the Small Restaurant

The old couple couldn't stand it anymore, so they found Amandine, "Why do you let Uwa do all your work? That's too much."

Uwa hurriedly explained, "I can handle it by myself, I don't need his help."

Amandine shrugged, "Look, she doesn't mind, why are you so anxious?"

The couple looked at him with contempt at the same time, but they couldn't fire each other, because Uwa would definitely follow him. They were a kind couple and liked a simple girl like Uwa. The two shook their heads helplessly and could only try to help Uwa reduce some of her work. They thought, "Why do women in this world like bad men? It's really a mystery."

After a busy day, it was past nine o'clock in the evening. Uwa also went up to the attic. Amandine was lying down to sleep. She asked curiously, "Why don't you watch TV?"

"I've been watching it all day, rest my eyes."

The attic is very small, and it will be separated by a piece of cloth in the middle when sleeping. There is only one TV, which is placed in the inner position. Uwa rarely watches it. She is usually too busy. Tonight, she gets off work early, so she also turned on the TV. After changing several channels, she chose a TV series about orphans. Not long after, she started crying because the protagonist's situation was very similar to hers. Amandine heard the crying and turned over. He smiled and said, "Big Buffalo, you are so funny, you cry when watching this kind of TV."

"Aino is so pitiful." Uwa said while crying. Amandine also wanted to know how pitiful the protagonist Aino was, so he watched it with her. As he watched, he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. He tried hard to hold back and not let his eye frames turn red. He took a deep breath, coughed, and pretended to be cold and ruthless and said, "It's nothing!" But in his heart, he was saying, why am I always so soft-hearted. Uwa turned her head and saw him wiping tears. She smiled and said, "Brother, why are you crying too?"

"I'm not crying, don't talk nonsense, my eyes just hurt."

The TV show stopped at the exciting part. Amandine cursed, "Damn! Every time we have to wait until the next episode to see the key points, these directors are really jerks."

"Brother, don't be angry. I'll continue watching with you tomorrow night. It's late now, go to bed!"

After that, Uwa got up, turned off the lights, and lay down to sleep. Amandine was unwilling to give up and wanted to fight with someone. After hearing this, he had to lie down. Uwa usually covered the middle piece of cloth, but she forgot this time. Through the moonlight in the attic window, Amandine could see her by tilting his head. The attic was very hot. Uwa slept in only a piece of underwear. Looking at her prominent breasts, Amandine's heart was agitated. He was disturbed by evil desires and couldn't fall asleep. He had to silently recite "Namo Amitabha! Namo Amitabha!" This was what he learned when he went to Asia. It can reduce all troubles and desires.

The next day, he woke up early and saw a pair of beautiful breasts as soon as he opened his eyes. Uwa thought he was still asleep and was changing clothes. After changing, she went downstairs. At this time, no matter how many times Amandine recited "Namo Amitabha", it was useless. His heartbeat accelerated and his lower body was propped up. He couldn't believe that a woman with such an ugly appearance would have such a pair of plump, round, and firm breasts. Maybe this was God's compensation for her. He could only explain it this way. He couldn't fall asleep again even if he pretended to sleep. He got up and wanted to see what Uwa was busy with. After going downstairs, the old couple hadn't come yet, and the store door was still closed.

Uwa saw him and asked curiously, "Brother, why are you up too? Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

Amandine had just seen her breasts, and now he saw her face again. One was beautiful, and the other was ugly. The contrast was too great, and he felt very uncomfortable. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and he didn't hear Uwa's question clearly, so he had to ask again, "What did you say?"

"Brother, haven't you woken up yet?"

This time he heard it clearly, and he answered, "No, I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'll get up and help you work. I can't stay in the attic all the time."

Uwa can make some simple meals, and asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll cook for you."

"Well, you go do other things, and I'll cook breakfast for the two of us." Amandine took the initiative to ask.

"Can you do it?" Uwa asked with some disbelief.

"What are you talking about! I'm a man who worked as a kitchen helper in school, even if I haven't cooked before, I can learn it by watching."

He did it right away, and he got ready immediately. This time he wanted to make Yangzhou fried rice, which he also learned in Asia. He beat seven or eight eggs, put oil in the pan, and then started to cut carrots and sausages. After cutting, he turned on the fire. When the oil started to smoke, he threw in the carrots and sausages and stir-fried them. He immediately found the feeling of being a chef. After frying for more than 30 seconds, he poured in the beaten eggs. Just when he was about to proceed to the last step, he realized that he had not cooked the rice. "Forget it, I am a good chef if I can fry it for the first time. I have always set low standards for myself," he could only comfort himself like this.

He found a plate to put the fried eggs on, and then called Uwa to come and eat, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Uwa took a piece of it and put it in her mouth, "Brother, why is there no taste at all?"

Amandine then remembered that he forgot to add seasoning. He turned around and grabbed a handful of salt from the jar behind him and threw it in, then stirred it with his fingers a few times, "Then taste it."

"It's so salty, the salt hasn't even dissolved." Uwa took a bite and spat it out. Amandine bent down to pick up the egg she spat on the ground, saying, "What a waste!" After that, he put it in his mouth and tasted it. "It's okay! Maybe you ate all the salt just now, I think it's still a little bland." Uwa took another bite, and this time she felt better. So the two of them took a bite each, eating with relish, and the atmosphere was quite happy. Amandine looked at the tuft of hair beside her nostrils and suggested, "Big buffalo, do you want me to help you cut the hair on your face?"

"Why do you want to cut it?"

"You will be more beautiful after cutting it, it's too ugly on your face."

"Okay! I'll listen to you."

Amandine went to find a pair of scissors. He asked Uwa to sit on a chair and he stood up, so that it would be easier to do it from a high position. The tuft of hair was five or six centimeters long, like an antenna. Amandine aimed at its root and cut it. After cutting it, he took a mirror to Uwa's face and said, "Look! Doesn't it look better?"

"It's more energetic, thank you brother!" Uwa said happily.

After a while, the old couple also came, and the day's business was about to start again. Amandine also entered the kitchen. He wanted to learn to be a chef. The couple was surprised, but they also taught him patiently. Uwa was taking care of the guests in front, busy all day long. After the old couple left, Amandine helped Uwa to pack up. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The two of them lay in the attic to watch the TV series last night. Because the time was not up, they started chatting. Amandine asked, "Big Buffalo, why did you come to this place?"

"Didn't I come with you? Have you forgotten?"

"I'm asking how you got here before you met me?"

Uwa told her about her ten years with Rick. After hearing the rest, Amandine was furious, "This man is too much, he treated you like garbage. You should go and settle accounts with him."

"Forget it, if he didn't treat me like that, I wouldn't have met you, just forgive him!"

Amandine thought so too, but he remembered this man's name in his heart. He hated ungrateful people the most and was ready to teach this guy a lesson when he had the chance.
