Huang Shaotian- Glory Cafe

A huge line formed outside the much anticipated cafe in the city. A cafe where some of the Glory pro players would be the waiters.

Everyone was excited for it. 

You waited in line with your friend until finally the doors opened and you were let in.

The interior was simple yet comfortable. Once the first batch was inside, the chatter exceeded the normally allowed volume. Everyone turned their heads to see the pro players yet no one was present yet.

Your friend anticipatingly slapped your leg while taking photos of every little thing. You were also excited. When would the pro players come and who would come?

The dreadful wait was finally over when someone walked next to you.

All eyes turned to this figure, it was Huang Shaotian!

With his loud and energetic voice, he said,

"Everyone, good morning! Those who want to sit on the sides, sit on the sides. Those who fancy a window seat, sit at the window. You want to sit in the booth, sit in the booth. No matter where, it's all comfortable, don't worry for now. 

Everyone look, look at the menu and decide what you'd like to eat! The most important thing first to order is freshly steamed prawn dumpling, shao mai, beef ribs, taro balls and many more, we have it all and you can even add more! 

Want sweet deserts? Just say it! To mend your stomach there's porridge, seriously choose what you want to eat!"

Shaotian was by far not finished, "Hurry up everyone! Sit! Sit! Anywhere! Everywhere! Let the smell tempt you, let your eyes feast on us good-looking waiters and help your stomach be filled to your heart's content!"

Finally, Shaotian's chanting stopped and everyone cheered and went crazy. They wanted to crowd him for photos and autographs and even your fired jumped to him, but then the other pro players came out and the whole place was a mess.

You found a place to sit and rubbed your temples. Shaotian's welcome speech was so damn long! It was a nightmare paired with the loud shouts, it was horrendous!

You looked at the menu and choked at the abundance of food and drinks available! Wasn't this a cafe? What was up with the huge selection of food you'd normally get in a restaurant?

You closed the menu and were incredibly relieved that Shaotian didn't recite the whole list!

"Hey, so you decided yet?" Shaotian pulled up a chair and spun it around, then sat at your table.

His arm rested on the back of the chair and he had a childish grin with a hint of mischief.

An unease spread. Was he here to actually make your worst nightmare come true? You instantly slapped the menu off the table.

There was an uncomfortable silence between you two where you just stared at each with increasingly awkward eyes. 

You had no idea why you did it either! Just the thought of him going through the menu made you panic.

"I... I have decided," finally you broke the silence and pretended nothing's happened.

"What have you decided on? Wait, wait, wait! Let me guess! Is it something savoury or sweet? Maybe even spicy or sour? Could it be dim sum, oh no no, you look more like a noodle person or maybe rice suits you better? Oh, by the way, have you see the section on soups yet? Do you feel alright? Want some good porridge to prep you for the other stuff later?

Ah, I got it! You didn't come here for the food. We also have great drinks! Coffee, tea, juice, water, smoothies, iced, hot, I'd recommend our best-sellers- Matcha, Chai, Assam or Taro! Also, we have great desserts, fancy som-"

You jumped up and tried to suffocate him with your hands covering his mouth.

It came true!!! It just had to come true!!! Your worst nightmare! The worst torture was right now happening to you and you felt like you needed to get rid of the source of walking hell! 

What was the point then of you slapping the damn menu away? Of course, he'd be able to remember every little detail even if not, it was obvious he'd just make them up!

Once again, you both found yourselves in a heated staredown to figure out who could make the other more embarrassed.

Of course, you lost! Would he ever get embarrassed? Of course not! 

His slender fingers trailed up your hand and removed them gently. His stare was intense and you tried hard not to give in and possibly fall for him.

You could feel the envious stares of all the fans around you- 

There was nothing envious about this situation!!!-

and pulled your hands away.

The only problem was, Shaotian didn't let you. He grinned,

"You rudely slapped your hands on my face and now want to pretend nothing's happened, again? Yes, again! You think I wouldn't notice you throwing the menu away like I poisoned it? I was nice enough to ease your shame but you really went and tried to shut me up! I know what you thought when the menu flew away from the table."

You wanted to vanish. He didn't let you off the hook at all!

"It was written all over your shameful face. You were afraid, I'd blow my wisdom all into you huh? You didn't calculate that I know the menu by heart, huh? Serves you right, yknow what? For your insolence, I'm gonna sit here and spend the rest of my shift beating- I mean talking the items into you, and of course, if by the end you still didn't learn it all, then your free time afterwards is mine."

His grin grew wider, "How does that sound?"

Everyone, I tried my very best to translate what Shaotian says in the pic- you read it in the beginning when shaotian first opened his mouth, the long paragraph of his

I think I got most of it but it was hard because some of the words are cut out thanks to handsome shaotian lol and it's cantonese and idk cantonese that much.
