[BL] I Picked up a Husband While Trying To Become An Author

Epilogue: Awake

Ming Yu didn't want to wake up.

The loud obnoxious ringing of his phone jolted him awake, making him frown at the annoying sound of it. Although tired and half asleep, his body responded quickly by moving his legs out of the bed and stood up.

There wasn't much needed to be done and nor did he felt like doing anything extra. He went straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower, brushed his teeth, washed his face and then went out for work with an empty stomach. 

The heat of summer made him feel the hunger that he'd been ignoring so he stopped by the convenience store and bought ready-made sandwiches to fill his stomach. They weren't delicious but was enough to satisfy him and he silently sat on the bus stop bench to wait.

It has been a month.

Four lonely weeks of living with only memories of him.

Ming Yu got kicked out of his old apartment and he had no choice. He now lived in a different house, a different city and worked a different job.

His bank account was enough for him to live idly for a few years so there was no more overworking himself by working 3 fixed jobs a day and a few hourly ones. The Cafe he was working was enough and after his shift, he could even take his time at the corner and sit beside the glass windows to look outside. His new found favorite spot.

At work, the dress code was quite casual where he only needed to change into a light blue dress shirt and tie a gray apron down his waist. His eyeglasses were fogged up so he wiped it clean for although he now have time in his hands, he was too lazy to buy a new pair of contact lenses.

"You're here?" The boss welcomed him.

"Mmn."

"Is that all you have to say?"

"Morning ... boss."

"Good Morning!~"＼(≧▽≦)／

"..." ( ￣ー￣)

Ming Yu and the owner's wavelength were the exact opposite of the other. At first, the boss thought that Ming Yu was a gloomy person to talk to but quickly realized that Ming Yu was simply the type that talked less.

During the interview, she said this:

 "As long as you reel in more female costumers with your face I don't mind! Handsome Man! Cold Cutie! MengMeng! Ming Meng!" She raised both thumbs giving him a powerful okay sign.

The boss' energy level was regularly maxed out that it was sometimes uncomfortable for Ming Yu to be round her.

"Xiao Rong and Yan are already inside so hurry up! I'll be upstairs so ring me up when needed! Spare a cheescake for me~" She repeatedly slapped Ming Yu's back with force before running upstairs.

That hurt.

"Don't slack off!" She shouted out of sight.

"..." ( ￣ー￣) Too much enthusiasm.

Rong Yi and Yan were the two baristas working in the Cafe. One female, one male.

Yan's name was actually Ian, a foreigner. Boss Ning had difficulties saying the 'I' from Ian so she replaced it and called him Yan. Ian was fluent with the language so there was no problems with communicating.

The day started started well as costumers steadily arrived. The Cafe was well known in the area so this was understandable, even Ming Yu who tried it at the first time kept coming back in the mornings even in days where he didn't have work.

The busy morning was a bit straining for Ming Yu. Usually there would be another server however that person called in sick so he was the only one responsible for serving all the customers for the day. Luckily, Rong Yi would find time to help him out whenever she could so things were still bearable for him.
