"Cover for me. I'll be away for an hour. " –lian song
"Where are you going, my lord?" –si ming
"In the mortal realm. I'll just check if she's okay. " –lian song
"She? You mean?" –si ming
"No, it's not like that. She's a friend I met when I visited the mortal realm days ago." –lian song
"Just make sure not to break the rules of the mortal realm. You know what's forbidden and what's not." –si ming
"Thank you, Si Ming!" He left quickly.
He landed in the bar's backyard and changed his clothes into a normal one.
He walked towards the door and saw her serving the customers. He immediately looked for a vacant table and sat there.
She walked towards his table without looking at the customers face.
"What would you like to order, si—" She almost dropped the menu.
"How are you?" he asked her.
"I-Im fine. What's your order, sir?" –cheng yu
"Same tea."
"Okay, coming."
"Cheng yu" he called her.
"Ye-yes?" she stuttered.
"When are you closing the store?"
"Why do you ask?" –cheng yu
"I wanted to stay here and walk you home." –lian song
"I'm sorry, that's not possible." –cheng yu
"Why not?" –lian song
"'I already have a husband. I dont think it's appropriate for you to visit here again." –cheng yu
"I've only been away for years I didn't think it would be this late." He whispered.
It was a lie. She doesn't have a husband. She's just afraid that if she gave him a chance, he might just break her heart like what her other suitors did.
After drinking his tea, he went to the counter and talked to her.
"I'm leaving now. Hope we can still be friends. I'll visit you again." He bid.
But he doesn't buy her lies. So he waited for her to close the bar. He's waiting for the right chance to check if she's really married.
