"Are my two top employees unharmed?"
As soon as Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko returned to the Broken House, Wu Shiyin came up to greet them with a smile. He looked them over and, finding them fine, felt relieved.
"Gin-san, this order was quite an ordeal," Yang Xiao put down the local specialties he was carrying, then sat on the sofa and said, "You can notify Mr. Shi now."
"It's good that you returned safely," Wu Shiyin smiled and continued, "I'll take you to a seafood buffet tonight. Do you want to go?"
"Of course!" Toga immediately responded, then walked over to Yang Xiao and looked at him, "The sofa is mine. Go rest somewhere else."
"Okay!" Yang Xiao stood up and gave up his seat. It seemed he was going to be suppressed by this bloodthirsty lolita from now on.
Wu Shiyin glanced at Toga, then at Yang Xiao, guessing what might have happened between them on the way back. It seemed there was a subtle change in the relationship between Toga and Yang Xiao?
But it wasn't his business. As long as there was no real rift between them, it was fine. Colleagues should be casual; a bit of joking around was normal.
Mr. Shi rushed over immediately after receiving a call from Yashiro Gin. He had also heard about the riot at the Kanagawa bullet train station, so he didn't blame Yang Xiao and Toga for being slow. Actually, taking a day to retrieve local specialties was acceptable; they just couldn't leave it overnight.
"Thank you both," Mr. Shi didn't ask Yang Xiao and Toga about the Kanagawa station incident. Since they had returned safely, what was the point of asking? It had nothing to do with him anyway.
"You're too polite, Mr. Shi. This is our job." Yang Xiao replied courteously. After Mr. Shi paid the remaining balance for the order, he asked Yang Xiao to help carry the local specialties to his private car before leaving.
Because of the riot at the Kanagawa station, it was already noon by the time Yang Xiao and Toga returned. Wu Shiyin specially asked Boss Wu Yangyi to deliver lunch later and to prepare more abundant food.
Toga wasn't very hungry. Yang Xiao hadn't eaten anything all this time. Even at the station, he hadn't had time to buy food. Toga had probably eaten some snacks.
It wasn't long before Wu Yangyi delivered the meal. Yang Xiao saw the food was very rich and immediately felt his appetite return. He picked up his chopsticks and ate happily.
Toga was also a foodie. Although she had eaten some snacks at the station, she would eat as long as there was food. The most important thing was that the food had to be tasty; otherwise, she wouldn't bother with it.
After lunch, it was time for a nap. The Broken House allowed a one-hour nap after lunch. This hour was a very comfortable time for Yang Xiao.
After eating, Yang Xiao leaned back in his chair to rest, while Wu Shiyin went back to his room to sleep, closing the door tightly.
Beep~ Beep~!
The sound of a game rang out. Yang Xiao frowned slightly. Toga was playing games again!
"Toga Himiko, can you turn the volume down a bit?" Yang Xiao said, looking at Toga with half-opened eyes in the dim room.
The rolling shutter outside was down, making the room a bit dark, but this environment was perfect for a nap.
Toga was unhappy. "It's a waste not to play games during such good rest time. What, do you have a problem with that?"
"No, ma'am!" Yang Xiao said helplessly, "I'm not stopping you from playing games, I just want you to keep the volume down, okay?"
"No!" Toga flatly refused. "If you think my game is too loud, you can wear headphones to sleep, or go out for a walk."
"What would I do outside in the middle of the day?!" Yang Xiao cursed inwardly, but he didn't dare get angry in front of Toga. He could only force a smile and say, "Toga, you could wear headphones too."
"Huh?" Toga's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She showed her small canine teeth and said, "Yeah, I like wearing headphones when I play games, but I forgot today."
Yang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her put on the headphones and start playing. This ancestor had finally quieted down.
An hour later, Yang Xiao stretched contentedly, raised the rolling shutter of the Broken House, and sunlight immediately streamed in.
Toga was still engrossed in her game. The sunlight made her phone screen glare, and just as she was about to lose her temper, Wu Shiyin came out. She realized the one-hour nap was over.
But it didn't matter. No one had placed any orders anyway; she could keep playing on her phone.
Yang Xiao and Wu Shiyin didn't bother with her. After waking up, Wu Shiyin drank some tea and began sorting through documents.
Now that the Broken House was back on track, Wu Shiyin had become more diligent. After all, there was money to be made now. Where there's money to be made, even the laziest person has potential.
There were two orders in the afternoon. After Yang Xiao and Toga completed them, Wu Shiyin closed the Broken House around five o'clock.
Put put put~
Wu Shiyin rode out on his scooter and looked a bit troubled when he saw Yang Xiao and Toga. "My bike can't carry three people. We'll get stopped by the traffic police. Which one of you will ride with me?"
Yang Xiao naturally let Toga ride with Wu Shiyin. He would take a taxi to the seafood buffet restaurant Wu Shiyin mentioned.
Commuting costs after work weren't reimbursed. Yang Xiao knew this. He didn't care about the small fare. He had saved money on dinner, so why worry about a few dollars for the taxi?
Toga felt a bit proud. She now felt that bullying Yang Xiao wasn't so bad. At least it put her in a good mood.
Yang Xiao didn't know that Toga actually thought this way. If he had known, he would have cursed her. You can't just make fun of me every day, right?
"Gin-san, can we really eat whatever we want at this restaurant?" When Toga and Wu Shiyin arrived at the entrance of the "Wansheng Seafood Buffet," Yang Xiao was already waiting there.
"Of course, can't you see it's a seafood buffet?" Wu Shiyin tapped Toga on the head and said, "Haven't you been to a place like this before?"
Toga rubbed her head. "Don't you know my financial situation? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to your Broken House."
"Let's go. I'll let you eat your fill today." Wu Shiyin also felt a bit sorry for Toga. Patting her shoulder, he then put an arm around Yang Xiao's neck and walked straight into the seafood buffet.
"How many people?" the waitress asked enthusiastically, looking at Wu Shiyin and the others.
"Three. Please arrange a table for us." Wu Shiyin said casually.
"Okay, please come this way, all three of you." The waitress made a welcoming gesture.
As he walked, Yang Xiao observed the environment of the Wansheng Seafood Buffet. There were many seats, most of which were occupied. Clearly, the business here was very good.
It was just a little past five, not even the peak after-work hour. If it were rush hour, there would probably be even more people.
