Stewed Squid with Honey

Chapter 2

Tong Nian returns behind the front desk, gnashing her teeth, and burying herself within her work at the same time. She registers the food she just brought over a moment ago, and then begins to subtract and reduce the bill. She will absolutely not let her best friend earn even a penny.

Best friend, Dou Nai extends his hand toward her swaying the fifty dollar bill. He gives her an intimidating glance, and then retracts his hand: “I was afraid you were going to be swindled by one of those men that are in very bad and serious circumstances. My family operates an internet café. I understand these types of men, who comes for a night pass to play games very well. The overwhelming majority of their lives are unhappy. At most, that man’s wallet is good.” he said still looking at a distant a quick glimpse of that person’s back. Still somewhat going against his character and said, “Only a little bit good I guess…”

Tong Nian continues to calculate the bill.

“Don’t ignore me, Superior squid? Giant squid? Great chamber? Big fish? Small cuttlefish? Small squid?” Her best friend said every 2D way of addressing her, but cannot exchange for her to take a glance at him. Finally at her mercy, “I’ll help you, help yourself.” (1)

“Really?” Tong Nian immediately looked up. Even both her eyebrows are smiling.

“Give him a whole week of night pass? Let’s say he won the lottery? Ah, a night pass won’t do, how about a one week pass, then he can come anytime he wants,” Dou Nai says while cupping his bleeding heart. (2)

Suddenly Tong Nian brightens up: “Good idea!” Then, she secretly winks at that place, “Go.”

“Why is it me again?” Best friend is flabbergasted.

“Also…” Tong Nian thinks, lowers her voice, and tells him, “You need to persuade him to draw the lottery on the spot. So long as you use the internet café’s Wei Xin and sweep the QR code, then he can draw a prize. Bring out your brainwashing skill from the time you were in the multilevel marketing organization for two months as a multilevel marketing member. (3)

“…Our internet café does not have a public Wei Xin.”

Tong Nian looks at her own cellphone, and after struggling for 2.5 seconds, she heartlessly changes her Weixin’s name. She hands over her cell phone: “Use my Weixin.” On the cell phone, her Weixin name was changed: Tonight there is fate.
This is the Internet café’s shop sign that is hanging outside—“Tonight There is Fate Internet Café”

Dou Nai knows intuitively (idiom). Restlessly, he holds the cellphone and goes to deceive him.

……

In the end … later that night, on her Weixin, two major events happen. First, she added a man called “GN”. Second, her Weixin’s fans were completely enraged. Her fans do not believe their own high, cold, proud and lovable “fish playing behind closed doors” had surprisingly suddenly been changed to “Tonight there is fate”… Superior must have definitely been hacked! (4)

……

Her heart is silently dripping blood. She might as well have thought of it as she was hacked, and not reply to any messages. Just staring at the username she had just added, she foolishly laughs.

To get it so easily, it seemed too good to be true…

She looked at the dark indistinct profile picture, not knowing what it is for half a minute. Then very carefully she opened his page.

Huh?

Other than the recent gaming news, there is nothing else? She is someone who only plays picture matching games, and suffers in defeat every time. As a Japanese dub singer, this is practically heaven’s edict. (5)
