The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Lying

The thought of moving their base startled even Xue Can himself.

He never mixed his personal life with work, yet now he had actually made an exception.

’Even if it’s just a thought, one I haven’t acted on, it’s still wrong.’

Xue Can closed the chat window. He rested his right hand behind his head, leaning against the headboard as Mo Bei walked in with a glass of water.

"Boss, it’s time for your medicine," Mo Bei rambled. "This stuff actually has to be heated. I had someone warm it up, so it should be okay to drink now."

Xue Can acted as if he hadn’t heard, making no move to take the medicine.

Mo Bei plopped down on the edge of the bed. "Boss, you’re not going to throw a tantrum like a kid and refuse to take your medicine, are you?"

Xue Can shot him an icy glance. "I feel like beating you up."

"Huh? What did I do wrong now?" Mo Bei looked aggrieved. "I’ve been waiting on you hand and foot. During that huge sandstorm yesterday, I still went to the hospital to pick up your medicine. Boss, who in the whole group is more loyal than me?"

Mo Bei’s superpower was Magnetic Manipulation. He could generate magnetic chains to latch onto buildings along his path, ensuring he wouldn’t be blown away by the wind.

However, his Superpower Level was only four, meaning he could withstand a Level 8 gale at most. In weather like today’s, the magnetic chains wouldn’t be able to hold him.

Xue Can snatched the bowl and downed the medicine in one go. "Alright, now get the hell out."

Mo Bei pouted and retreated from the room, looking thoroughly dejected.

Outside, he ran into Qi Lian, who was passing by. Seeing his expression, Qi Lian mocked him mercilessly, "Got yelled at for sucking up again?"

Mo Bei’s expression froze, and he sneered back coldly, "Got kicked out by Sun Yong again? Little Qi, the man has already told you he doesn’t like men. It doesn’t matter how long you grow your hair."

"None of your damn business!" Qi Lian snapped.

Mo Bei shrugged. "I just feel sorry for Sun Yong, having to get harassed by you all the time. Can’t you do the guy a favor and just let him be?"

"Mo Bei! You’re talking nonsense! Brother Yong has feelings for me!"

"If lying to yourself makes you feel better, then go right ahead."

Mo Bei sneered and walked away with the bowl.

Qi Lian flipped his long hair and stomped back to his dorm, fuming.

It was a four-person dorm. Before he went in, the other three were on the lower bunks playing cards. The sounds of their laughter stopped abruptly the moment Qi Lian entered. The ostracism was blatant.

Qi Lian was used to it. He climbed onto his top bunk and lay down, still fully clothed.

’He refused to believe Sun Yong hated him as much as he acted. If he really did, there was no reason for Sun Yong to have saved him on their last mission.’

’If I had died, wouldn’t he be free of my harassment for good?’

’Sun Yong,’ Qi Lian thought, ’just hasn’t figured out his own feelings yet.’

...

The movie ended, but Shen Lu was still asleep. She shifted, snuggling her cheek against the pillow and falling into an even deeper slumber.

Everyone instinctively moved more quietly and turned the TV volume down a bit.

Xiao Lang blinked curiously. "Sister Shen looks so cute when she’s sleeping."

’Just like a little kid.’

Cai Su whispered, "Actually, Boss Shen is the one among us who works the hardest and has the most to worry about."

As employees, all they had to do was complete the tasks Shen Lu assigned. She, on the other hand, had to deal with all sorts of unexpected problems and also plan the store’s future.

Newer employees might not know much about it, but as one of the original staff, Cai Su knew it all too well.

Xin Yu took a careful sip of his tea. "With the weather like this, we can’t open for business anyway. Boss can finally get a couple of days of rest."

"Knowing her, she’ll never be able to sit still."

Cai Su sighed.
