Yuan walked over with a smile, his face displaying a sense of satisfaction with what he had obtained today.
The part-time job he did was not too heavy, although his salary was not as much as his father gave him every month, but this was more than enough for her to save up and rent her own residence without hitchhiking on others.
Within a day Yuan worked in two places at once, he worked as a daily tabloid model, and also worked as a waitress in a cafe.
After returning home from college, he did a photo shoot for about two hours, then at five in the afternoon, Yuan immediately went to the cafe to work as a waiter.
If it's hard to say, it doesn't seem. A job as a model is not a draining thing. Then the job as a cafe waitress does require a little extra energy and patience, it's just that, a beautiful-looking person like Yuan, as if it is destined to always give good luck.
The cafe where he worked became very crowded when he started working there, most of the visitors were girls, who came not only to buy drinks or food but also wanted to see, seduce and take pictures with Yuan.
Therefore, he gets a special wage from his owner's cafe. Yuan gets a daily salary and also a monthly salary, the man has worked like a billboard and also a cafe waitress.
Yuan stopped his steps, as he saw a food stand standing at the end of the street. Suddenly there was a desire in him to buy something to someone who might still be waiting for him in the apartment.
The dazzling smile of the man grew wider. Yuan walked towards the food stand that sold the steamed dumplings.
"Well nights like this, there are still handsome young people like you hanging around here. You seem like a new guy in this area?" Ask the steamed dumpling seller.
Yuan smiled kindly,
"Well, I just moved to this area a few days ago. Bi, I ordered a pack of her steamed dumplings yeah." Answer Yuan.
"You're very friendly, a handsome and friendly man like you is very rare to find in this area." Said the middle-aged woman the steamed dumpling seller.
Yuan could only smile in response, it was not unusual for him to get compliments from the people he met, it was something ordinary for him.
"Do you like steamed dumplings?" Ask the middle-aged woman the steamed dumpling seller.
"If I say yes, will auntie give you more dumplings?" Yuan asked with his joke which made the middle-aged woman laugh lightly.
"You're very good at seducing and bargaining. But since you're so handsome and friendly, auntie will give you more steamed dumplings. Well, here it is." Said the middle-aged woman while handing over a box of steamed dumplings that had been wrapped in a plastic bag.
Yuan handed him the money and took the plastic bag containing the steamed dumplings.
"Just get back to aunt." Yuan Saying.
"Ah no need, I gave you those extra dumplings for free." Said the middle-aged woman.
"It's okay bi, just accept ya." Yuan.
"Well right. You are a good young man. You're so perfect and every woman's dream, if aunt is young, maybe aunt will fall for you right away." Said the seller of the steamed dumplings with his trademark laugh.
Yuan responded with a smile.
"I'm sorry then." Said Yuan who then left from there.
"Yes beware of good and good-looking young people." Said the middle-aged woman in a slightly screaming voice as Yuan was already walking away from her food stand.
Yuan smiled, he looked at the plastic bag as he walked with his broad steps, the man wanted to quickly get to the apartment and give the dumplings to Rose.
During this time Yuan was only close to three women, namely his mother, his grandmother and Nana. He didn't even know what his grandmother liked. Yuan only knew what her mother and Nana liked because the two women often bought steamed dumplings when they went out together.
Without feeling it, the man had already reached the door of Rose's apartment. Yuan's hand moved in search of the apartment key that he kept in his pants pocket.
But not until he found the key, the door was open, Rose opened it from the inside. The girl came out in neat clothes and also carried a bag that seemed to contain clothes.
"Where do you want to go on nights like this?" Yuan asked, he saw an aura of panic from the girl's face.
"Yuan, you're back. I'm sorry I had to go, my mom's sick, my aunt says she's not feeling well. So I have to go now." Rose said, then re-strewn her legs, but Yuan held her arm.
"It's already night. You told me once that if your mother now lives in another city, that means you can't go there tonight. The journey between cities is quite far, besides the city bus is no longer there on this late night. Just leave tomorrow morning." Advice Yuan.
Rose removed Yuan's hand from his arm, and,
"Sorry Yuan, but my mother is critical, even if I have to walk, I will do it. I can't just shut up and wait for tomorrow." Answer Rose.
Yuan sighed, he faced Rose, they looked at each other for quite a long time.
"You are stupid. Don't let worry take hold of you, think again. Did your aunt tell you to come tonight?" Ask Yuan.
Rose fell silent, recalling a conversation she had with her aunt a few hours ago. True to what Yuan said, his aunt only gave him news, the aunt even told him not to panic and come tomorrow morning.
"What time do you see, you think late at night like this there's gonna be a bus driving you to town? Even a taxi will turn you down." Yuan.
Rose was still silent, the girl lowered her head.
"If you want to walk, then what's the difference with waiting tomorrow? What if you walk, tonight you'll get there? Sure didn't. Try to think openly, you're not stupid, are you?" Yuan said again.
Rose was seen playing her finger, she had already lost the debate with the man. Rose felt that if what Yuan said was indeed true, he could not even dodge anymore.
"What's that for me?" Rose asked as she pointed at the plastic bag Yuan was holding. The girl tried to shift the subject.
Yuan exhaled, relieved that the girl had already decided not to leave tonight either.
"Yes." Yeah." The answer.
"I'm hungry, let's eat." Rose said, she grabbed the plastic bag and took it inside the apartment.
Yuan smiled at Rose who was undoing her intention to leave, the girl also seemed to be trying to dispel her panic for a while.
"Good." Yuan muttered, the man then stepped following Rose who had already entered the apartment first.
"Yuan, don't forget to lock the door." Rose shouted from the kitchen.
"I know." Yuan replied in a tone that came back as usual, flat.
