MTL - The Sufferer is My Wife-Chapter 20

When Zhou Heng arrived at the door of the kitchen, there was a strong smell of beef coming out. After inhaling a few mouthfuls of the meaty aroma, Zhou Heng saw Sadako Yamamura in a black silk uniform standing beside a small table.

After approaching, Zhou Heng discovered that there was a large pot of coffee in front of Sadako, and the girl was pouring the coffee into the coffee cup, and then holding the milk to garnish flowers on the coffee.

Now it seems to be a heart, but halfway through the pull, Sadako's hand shakes, and the heart is one big and one small, which is not good-looking.

Sadako sighed, picked up the coffee cup and drank all the coffee in it.

After drinking it in one gulp, Sadako poured the coffee again, and continued to draw flowers with milk. This time, it seemed that she pulled a white bear. Because of immature technology, Sadako made a mistake again this time.

The girl sighed a second time, picked up the coffee and drank it down.

The third time I pulled a few leaves, this time the progress was obvious, the leaves were pulled very well, but the drawing was crooked when drawing the branches connecting the leaves.

Sadako shook her head helplessly, and reached out to grab the coffee cup, but when she touched the handle of the coffee cup, her hands trembled and she swallowed her saliva.

Sadako was very full.

A hand just happened to reach over from the side, grabbed the coffee cup that Sadako failed to draw, and picked it up.

Sadako froze for a moment, then turned her head in the direction the coffee cup left.

Under Sadako's gaze, Zhou Heng took a sip of coffee.

"You didn't put any sugar?"

Zhou Heng frowned, originally seeing that Sadako didn't want to drink it, he finished it for Sadako himself, but Zhou Heng almost vomited out the coffee after drinking it.

Sadako stepped forward and said in surprise.

"Gangxiong?"

Sadako pretended to want to hug her, but thinking that there were several colleagues who were cooking in this place, Sadako felt embarrassed to make such an intimate move in public, so she withdrew her hand.

Zhou Heng shook the coffee in his hand.

"Sadako, don't you say that the coffee you drank before was all without sugar?"

Sadako lowered her head shyly, playing with the apron under her belly with both hands.

"I, I have already used the coffee and milk in the store for free..."

Zhou Heng: "..."

Zhou Heng thought that Sadako liked to drink plain coffee before, but now it sounds like this kid who is used to being bullied thinks it is a shame to take the coffee and milk from the coffee shop to learn latte art, so he is ashamed to add sugar to it.

Zhou Heng asked the chef who was frying steak in the distance.

"Is there any sugar? My coffee is bitter."

The chef turned his head and pointed to the cabinet next to her.

"There's sugar cubes in it, take it yourself."

Zhou Heng walked over, opened the cupboard, and there was a bag of sugar cubes inside.

Zhou Heng asked the chef again.

"Do you have to pay for this sugar when you cook?"

The chef who was frying the steak stared at Zhou Heng for a long time. Although he didn't show it on the surface, Zhou Heng was sure that the chef opposite was making insulting guesses about the IQ of this stranger.

"Need not."

The chef withdrew his gaze and continued to fry the steak.

Zhou Heng silently took a bag of candy and walked to the place where Sadako was with a smile, put the candy in front of Sadako, picked up another cube of sugar and put it in the coffee cup.

After stirring it with a spoon for a while, Zhou Heng took another sip, and this time it was easier to drink more.

"Sadako."

Zhou Heng nodded his chin towards the chef who had already fried the steak and started making other sweets.

"People say sugar is free."

Sadako said in a low voice.

"But…"

Zhou Heng interrupted.

"No, but, Sadako, have you ever thought about what you will become in the eyes of others when you are the only one who would rather endure hardship than eat sugar when everyone else thinks that sugar is free and can be used at will?"

Sadako looked up and looked at Zhou Heng blankly.

Zhou Heng gave the result.

"Heterogeneous, a heterogeneous person who doesn't fit in and is deliberately separated from others."

"Sadako, you are not alone now, but live in the society. That is to say, you should not only consider yourself, but also others. You think that you are grateful for drinking bitter coffee without sugar, but in the eyes of others, you are a freak."

Zhou Heng handed the sugared coffee to Sadako.

"You drink and watch."

Sadako took it and took a sip.

Zhou Heng grinned.

"Isn't it much better to drink?"

Sadako nodded with a flushed face.

"Yes, it is."

Zhou Heng patted Sadako on the shoulder.

"Don't be a freak, you also have the rights that others have, and you can use the free resources that others have. Only when you are like others, will others approach you with peace of mind, just as it is to integrate into society, be selfish and bold."

Sadako took another sip at the place where Zhou Heng drank just now.

Coffee is obviously a refreshing thing, but after Sadako felt Zhou Heng's breath on the coffee cup, her mind was a little dizzy.

Sadako finished her coffee in a few sips and asked Zhou Heng.

"Gangxiong, you, you... did you come to see me for something?"

Sadako is very clear that today is not a holiday, and it must be something for Zhou Heng to come to find her on the working day.

"I'm just wondering if you, Sadako, have caused any trouble these days. If you are bullied, I can help you out."

Zhou Heng was really afraid that Sadako would break down and commit suicide. This evil spirit must be comforted and she must not be wronged.

Sadako shook her head.

"The store manager Longjiang was very kind to me and taught me how to make coffee latte art. He said that when guests come, I can perform this for them and get a lot of tips."

Sadako smiled bitterly.

"But Sadako is too stupid. From yesterday until now... the number of successes is very small."

After a pause, Sadako thought of something and said to Zhou Heng.

"Gangxiong, can I ask you something?"

Zhou Heng nodded.

"you say."

"My father's funeral, I want to attend, can you go with me tomorrow?"

Chapter 31 Gift money

Zhou Heng came out from the staff passage and came to the front desk where Longjiang Youxi was sitting.

"Any recommendations for afternoon tea?"

Zhou Heng raised his eyes to look at the LCD electronic screen above the counter, where the price list and various beautiful artistic photos were constantly changing on the electronic screen.

Zhou Heng was a little embarrassed to come to the coffee shop once and leave without drinking anything.

Longjiang Youxi, who was behind the front desk, got up and introduced.

"Recommend our classic hand-ground coffee, and how about a chocolate flow cake?"

Zhou Heng touched his stomach that was just full.

"I don't have a big appetite."

Longjiang Youxi smiled.

"If we don't order staple food in our restaurant, it is impossible to be full."

Zhou Heng showed his thumb.

"Very good, then let's have a recommendation from Mrs. Longjiang."

After a pause, Zhou Heng lowered his head and whispered.

"Mrs. Longjiang, thank you for taking care of Sadako."

Zhou Heng could tell that if it wasn't for Yuki Longjiang who took good care of Sadako Yamamura and made Sadako Yamamura feel grateful, how could Sadako not even put sugar in the coffee latte art?

Ryue Yuki, who was wearing a kimono, looked around and responded.

"It's right to take care of her. Sadako is too hardworking. I thought such a beautiful child is the kind of guy who has been spoiled and doesn't want to do anything. He just wants to eat what Naka wants."

I don’t know if there is a problem with modern moral education, or there are too many dog ​​licks. Longjiang Youxi has recruited a few beautiful girls before. These girls are lazy when they can, and they like to push other people to do their work.

On the contrary, Sadako is not only not lazy, but also diligent in doing things. For this reason, Longjiang Youxi is willing to teach Sadako how to make coffee latte art for tips.

"besides…"

Longjiang Youxi was a little embarrassed.

"Gangxiong, you can persuade Sadako in the future, and ask her to take a rest when she has no work, and to sweep the floor when she is free, to pick up the garbage, and so on. That's what other cleaners do."

Zhou Heng nodded.

"understand."

Zhou Heng went to the corner and sat down. After a while, Sadako, who was wearing a maid uniform, came over with Zhou Heng's classic hand-ground coffee and flow cake, and put them down in front of Zhou Heng.

Just as Zhou Heng wanted to ask Sadako to sit down in front of him, Sadako picked up a small cup of milk and poured it into the coffee cup in front of Zhou Heng.

This time, Sadako was much more serious than before, and the girl's eyes almost stared at the coffee in the coffee cup until it boiled.

Enough focus also brings success for granted, a simple heart appears on the coffee.

Only then did Sadako spit out the breath she had been holding in her mouth, and smiled at Zhou Heng.

"Handmade by Sadako, love coffee."

Zhou Heng took a sip and nodded again.

"very nice."

Sadako was ready to leave proudly, but Zhou Heng stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Sadako."

Sadako looked back at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng said in a low voice.

"Sadako, did you clean up when you were resting as a waiter?"

Sadako nodded.

"Well, I saw that some places were dirty, so I cleaned them."

Zhou Heng said displeased.

"Then have you seen other people cleaning?"

Sadako: "..."

Zhou Heng spread his hands.

"I said, you have to integrate into the group, Sadako, you see that others didn't clean, and no one asked you to clean. There is a reason. For example, this cleaning is the job of the cleaners. If you go to clean, what will those cleaners do?"

Sadako scratched her head in confusion.

"So I shouldn't do this kind of thing?"

Zhou Heng nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Sadako, if you can't tell what you should do and what you shouldn't do, just take a look at what your colleagues, those beautiful waiters usually do, what they do, you try to do your best, and what they don't do, you don't do it, or you may offend people."
