My name is Lin Xiang. I have been studying abroad alone for five years. I studied in a language school for two years and am now a junior in college. I am writing a paper, looking for a job, and working in a barbecue restaurant. Although I don’t have many classes, my schedule is still full every day. In fact, I don’t really want to work, but I want to be financially independent as soon as possible. I have to tell my family that I don’t lack money, and I have to earn as much living expenses as possible. The key is that there are not many handsome guys in the staff of this barbecue restaurant who can catch my eye. I have no motivation to work, and I think this job is even more boring. Today, I came to work in the store as usual, looking half asleep. As soon as I entered, the store manager said to me: “Lin interviewed a new person two days ago. He is also a Chinese student and a freshman in college. Today is his first day to work. You can take care of him.” I agreed verbally, but I thought to myself, “No need to ask, it must be another dead otaku who only plays games every day and likes to be lazy at work.” I didn’t take it to heart and went to work. As the evening progressed, more and more customers came. Then a man walked in, wearing a backpack and a white printed T-shirt.
A short-haired student wearing black sweatpants and glasses, my colleague greeted him and said welcome. After asking, I found out that this person was not a customer, but a newcomer who came to work on his first day. At this time, the store manager also came out of the office and welcomed him in. But because he was helping the customer to place an order, he didn’t take a second look. After a while, the store manager came out with the newcomer who had changed into work clothes, called me over, and said to him: “This is your senior Lin, you just need to learn from him.” He smiled innocently and nodded at me. I also smiled and nodded in return. I taught him some simple processes while chatting with him. Through chatting, I learned that his name is Zhang Weiqi, from Shandong, and he went abroad after graduating from high school. He is now 21 years old and a freshman. I also briefly introduced myself to him. I said that I was from Beijing, and we were all from the north, so there was no need to be restrained when talking. Although it was his first time to work, he was very smart and basically remembered everything after teaching it once. I don’t need to worry, unlike the foreign students who came before, he will not be embarrassed to death when speaking. He also looks pretty good, his face is a bit like the Korean idol Kang Donghao, but a simpler version. After 10pm, the store manager signaled that we could leave work, and I took him back to the office to change clothes. It didn’t matter, I found that he actually had abdominal muscles and bulging chest muscles. I don’t know if it was because the sweatpants he wore were too tight or what, but he was quite attractive. He immediately gained a lot of points in my heart. But I didn’t dare to stare at him, it was too obvious. I just glanced at him from time to time, and in order not to be embarrassed, I started to talk about other topics, such as whether we should go out for a drink or something, but he said: “I’m so sorry, I have to go back to catch up with tomorrow’s presentation. Next time, Brother Lin.” Of course, I didn’t really want to invite him today, but I really wanted to explore him. ( About a month later, Zhang Weiqi finished his training period. To celebrate for him, the store manager said that we should go for a drink after work. The store actually closes at 12 o’clock in the evening, but because the store manager probably wanted to drink too much, he dragged us to the izakaya next door at 10 o’clock. During the meal, the store manager kept praising him, saying that he was smart and capable, but a little shy, and that if he worked hard in the future, he might be able to join the company. Later, when we got drunk, the three men started to chat and talk about random things. Of course, I drank very restrainedly because I thought tonight might be an opportunity. When it came to the issue of love, Zhang Weiqi said that he now has a girlfriend who he has been dating for three years. They live in a different place. On average, they see each other once a month. When I heard that he had a girlfriend, my heart immediately sank. But he only saw her once a month. Once, doesn’t that mean once a month? Can a man be so honest? I don’t believe it, although he looks really honest. After drinking for more than three hours, it was already past 1 a.m., and the battery was out at this time. The manager asked me to take him home, and I tentatively said, “How about you sleep at my house tonight?” He might have really drunk a little too much, and he leaned his head on my shoulder and hummed. After leaving the izakaya, the manager went back to the store first, and I was responsible for driving him home. Fortunately, my home is close to where I work, and it only takes 10 minutes to walk there. But today, carrying a drunk, it took me 20 minutes to get home. When I got home, I finally put him on the bed, but he had already fallen asleep like a dead person. I turned on the bedside lamp, and with the light…
“Fuck! Brother Lin, what are you doing!” Zhang Weiqi suddenly shouted. I don’t know when he woke up. I was stunned for a moment, and my heart beat faster. I felt like a child who had done something bad and was exposed. “Brother Lin, you actually eat? Are you a gangster? I didn’t dare to answer him. I stood up and turned on the light. Turned around and lowered my head, “I’m sorry, I…maybe I drank too much…I…” + “Brother Lin, I treat you as a brother, you actually took advantage of me when I was drunk? Do you like men? Do you like me?” “I…I’m…sorry…” “I didn’t expect you are a gangster, Brother Lin, this is the first time I meet someone,” I was so scared that I didn’t dare to say a word. “Come here!” I walked over with my head down. “Kneel down!” f I knelt down slowly. “I haven’t seen my wife for almost a month. I wanted to make an appointment, but today someone came to my door, although he is a man.” 2 Zhang Weiqi held my hand and slapped my face, “Brother Lin just likes to eat, let Brother Lin eat enough tonight……
