Belp :P

Meeting the group

The door creaked as they entered the back door. The sudden light change burned their eyes a little. As their eyes settled they realize they're in the kitchen.

"A-yuan! You're back?" Someone yelled from what seemed like the main area.
"That's great! We're just about to open!" She girl peek through the kitchen entrance. Her smile quickly turned upside down.

"Who are you boys? Why are you following A-yuan?" She scolded. The young lady look definitely younger than Lin ChangYing and seemed more immature.
"Sorry, for the intrusion. We're trying to talk with one of your customers." Sizhui said felling a little threatened.
"Customers? How old are you? Are you even allowed in?" She continued to question them.

"Relax A-Fang* they aren't random people who followed me here," she set the bag of herbs on the table. "I'm choosing to help them."
*A-Fang: no it doesn't have to do with vampires. It means fragrant or sweet smelling*

She looked suspiciously at Lin ChangYing. "Are you sure?"
"They're dating," she said without a blink of an eye. The conversation didn't help the two helpless tomato children half way through the door.

"Do they kiss?" She asked, but quickly shook her head. "Actually I don't wanna know that." A-Fang backed away.
She opened the door fully to let them in. "Now don't be shy, I don't bite." Awkwardly the couple walked in and took off their shoes.

"Are the girls almost ready?" Lin ChangYing asked. She laid out the herbs and washed them in the bucket of water.
"Yup they're getting ready now!" She smiled. "Can I help with the food?"

"Actually I was hoping the boys would help." She patted the herbs dry with a towel.
"Wait, why us?" Jin Ling asked.
"Cause I need help," she said sarcastically. "And you have to pay me back somehow."

They took off their stuff and went to work. Lin ChangYing did most of the cooking while the boys washed and diced the food. Sizhui was in charge of the green onions and Jin Ling was chopping the pork. The kichen was split into two sections by a wall and a gray curtain. One with a large window for the cooking and other for washing dishes and preparing food. Lin ChangYing was next to the pan, which had a little chimney-like section under it for fire.

"A-ling,"
"Hm, yeah what is it?"
"How do you chop green onions?"
Jin ling started laughing when he saw Sizhui barely holding the onions right and cutting them wonky.
"You don't know how to cook?" Jin Ling teased. "Not even a little?" He joked again.

"Here, hold the onions like this," he walked up behind Sizhui and rested his head on Sizhui's shoulder while guiding his hands. "Bend your fingers so you won't accidentally cut them, and slowly go up and down with the knife," Again Jin Ling positioned Sizhui hands correctly. Somehow unaware of Sizhui who was clearly freaking out.

'Why is he doing this?' He thought. 'Is he unaware of what he's doing?' His heart rate speed up.
'What do I do?'
"Hey."
'Do I say thanks?'
"Hey!"
'Do I move?'
"A-Yuan! Are you listening?" (No he was gay panicking)
Sizhui was stunned. Jin Ling was waving his hand around in front of him. Trying to gain his attention.
"Oh! Sorry, what were you saying?" Sizhui apologized. He continued to avoid eye contact because he still felt his face burning.

"Boys! Are you done?" Lin ChangYing said from the other room. She had finish cooking the fried rice and lettuce in the pan over the fire.

"Oh yeah! SiZhui's zoning out." Jin Ling carried the two boards with food over to Lin ChangYing.
Sizhui covered his face before taking a deep breath.
'I need to get used to human contact more.' he thought. Sizhui walked across the room and picked up the curtain to see Lin ChangYing yelling at Jin ling who was trying to cook.

"Stop! If you stir it too fast you might spill it!" Lin ChangYing yelled. "Here slowly throw in the garlic and onions!" Jin Ling did as she said and poured a little bowl in. It sizzled once it made contact with the pan.
"Um, may I ask what you are doing?" Sizhui asked.
"Your boyfriend wanted to learn how to cook," Lin ChangYing said. "I'm teaching him."
"More like yelling," Jin Ling mumbled.
"Hush! Watch the meat! You don't want to burn it!" Lin ChangYing nagged. Sizhui sat and watched Lin ChangYing nagged the little child as he tried to keep up. He couldn't help but laugh at how stressed Jin Ling looked. Although they were to busy to react to it.

The food was done before they knew it and was placed on a table to share. This was out in the restaurant part of the club. It wasn't until then did they get a good look at it. The place was two story tall with the bedrooms on top and the stairs in the middle of the room.
       The girls ran down the stairs and sat at the table. There was only about seven girls there. Each one of them happily sat down and started eating.

      "Yum! A-yuan your pork tastes delicious!" One of them said as she took a bite.
      "I didn't cook the pork today," she pointed at Jin Ling. "He did."
      "No I didn't, you were the one that taught me," Jin Ling said. He grab a bowl of rice and sat down.
      "And why are there boys here?!" Another one yelled. She was wearing green and had her hair in two buns like they were pigtails.
     
       "Relax, they aren't gonna do anything," Lin ChangYing gave a bowl of rice to them and sat him at the table.
       "How are you sure? They could be lying to you." She said.
       "Those two are dating, they're gay."
      "Have you seen them do anything?"
      "No, they don't like to in front of people," She also sat down and ate with the group.

      Jin Ling and Sizhui said nothing and keep their eyes low while they ate.
      "I believe them!" A-fang said.
     "Why?" Another girl this time in red asked.
      "Because I was spying on them while they were cooking an-," A-Fang tried to speak but couldn't. It was like her lips were glued together.

     Sizhui sat very red and angry as he chewed his food. A-Fang struggled to speak and only made muffed sounds.
      "HA! I told you the silencing charm hurt!" Jin Ling exclaimed. "How does it fell not being able to speak!"
       "Are you behind this?!" The green one yelled. "You dare to hurt a child?!"

      "Woah! No you're wrong! I don't now how to!" Jin Ling objected.
      "Lan Sizhui stop it!" Lin ChangYing commanded. "She's still a child."
      "Sorry," Sizhui said. "I'm not used to it randomly happening."
      Jin Ling knew it was an obvious lie, but didn't say anything because he was scared also getting it. 

      A-Fang pleaded as best as he could to speak again. Sizhui finally sighed and released her.
     She took a deep breath. "Thanks big brother*! I won't say anything again!" She smothered it with honey.
       *big brother: it is normally used to talk to males older than the person. Not weird*

       "Well since you reacted that way I'll believe you." The red one said. "What's your name?"
       "I'm Lan Sizhui."
       "And I'm Jin Rulan."
       "So you're cultivators? That's quite odd they don't come often." She said.

       "They're hear to talk with Wang LiWei," Lin ChangYing grabbed a piece of lettuce. "Apparently they want him to talk about a book."
      "Ha good luck with that," another one in orange said. "He only talks about money."
       "A-Mei*! Don't be so rude! He's still a customer here." The one in red said.
      *A-Mei: means pretty or beautiful*
      "A-Hua*, he only ever picks you anyways. " She complained. "He isn't my customer." *it means flower*
      
       "Shut up! Just help me with a task." Lin ChangYing said. "Get Sizhui in women's clothing."
       "Why am I cross dressing?" Sizhui asked. He was halfway through his bowl now.
       "If you can't figure it out now then I'll tell you later," Lin ChangYing said. "Hurry up and finish."

       For some reason SiZhui's gut instinct didn't like that.
