Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me
Chapter 181 - 180: Great Stamina

Chapter 181: Chapter 180: Great Stamina

Seeing her about to cry, Jin Yu’s heart mysteriously ached again, unable to bear the sight of her tears.

At last he decided to be good-natured and let her off: "I know you are drunk."

"Then..." Xu Niannian lifted her head, especially trepidatiously, and asked cautiously, "You won’t blame me, will you?"

When she asked this, her eyes were wide open, her beautiful almond eyes glistening like bright black agate, dark and shiny.

Jin Yu squinted his eyes looking at her, leaving Xu Niannian unable to see through what he was thinking.

Thinking Jin Yu was angry, she subconsciously moved closer to him, a small hand tugging at his sleeve: "I won’t drink again next time."

Jin Yu glanced at her. The young girl looked incredibly obedient, like a budding flower, pure and flawless.

It made him feel full of sin to even entertain a crooked thought.

But indeed, she really shouldn’t drink anymore.

A single bowl of broken liquor that’s light as water got her drunk; what’s more, she tended to recklessly kiss people when intoxicated. If he wasn’t there, what would she do?

The thought of her possibly kissing other men randomly caused Jin Yu’s jealousy to skyrocket.

"You’re not allowed to drink anymore." He warned her, and still feeling like it wasn’t enough, suddenly sat up on the bed and grabbed her shoulders: "If you drink again, I won’t let you off."

Xu Niannian exclaimed in surprise. She said she wouldn’t drink for fear of repeating such an incident, but the way he spoke sounded like a resentful wife.

Casting a doubtful glance at him, Jin Yu caught her suspicious gaze and raised an eyebrow slyly: "I certainly don’t want you taking advantage of me again in the future."

Xu Niannian: "..."

This time, it was her fault, and she would take the blame.

But when it came to taking advantage, he had only been kissed, while she had had her innocence taken away by him outright in the beginning.

His presumptuous behavior enraged Xu Niannian, making her grind her teeth in irritation.

"Rest assured, I won’t drink in the future, nor will I take advantage of you," she said through gritted teeth. "Now, can you go back to your room?"

Jin Yu knew when to stop and didn’t continue to tease her. He licked his lips and his gaze fell on her lips, which had been bitten.

His look was so intent that Xu Niannian subconsciously touched her own mouth.

The moment she touched her lips, Xu Niannian winced in pain, realizing her lip was broken.

Having her lip split made Xu Niannian suspiciously look at Jin Yu. It must have been bitten by someone.

Jin Yu asked as if nothing had happened: "Is there a problem?"

Xu Niannian: "My mouth... how did it get split? Surely, I didn’t bite myself, right?"

Jin Yu curved his lips, replying very casually: "I bit it."

Upon hearing it was indeed him, Xu Niannian’s fleeting mortification vanished. She suddenly leaned in close to Jin Yu, one hand bracing on the bedsheets beside him, her words turning sharp.

"Jin Yu, are you certain that last night it was I who threatened you?"

She stared intently and unwaveringly into Jin Yu’s eyes.

Jin Yu was amused inside. She even knew to call his bluff, good, she was making progress.

"You were kissing me all over, and you even had a grip on my manhood. If I didn’t bite you, who would I bite?" he said with a light glance.

"..."

Such a casual demeanor.

Xu Niannian actually found it quite reasonable.

But when Xu Niannian pictured that R-rated scene, her face blushed so fiercely it seemed like a blood-engorged balloon, a gentle prick would make it go puff, releasing hot air and fluttering everywhere.

Xu Niannian hesitated, her eyes drifting towards his crotch. Had she really pinched him the night before?

Recalling the size she had once caught a glimpse of, Xu Niannian spread her palm and felt it burning hot, as if she wanted to toss her hand into the trash.

Jin Yu watched her movements, his narrow eyes narrowing even further. He made an almost inaudible "tsk," and the desire in the depths of his eyes surged.

Was she actually sizing him up?

He coughed forcefully as a reminder for her not to get too carried away.

Xu Niannian jerked to her senses, saw Jin Yu’s dark expression, and realizing what she had been thinking about just now, almost knelt down in front of him in sheer repentance.

Xu Niannian didn’t even notice how Jin Yu left the room, mechanically she collected herself.

What happened last night made Xu Niannian feel like a scoundrel harassing an innocent maiden.

Running a restaurant, the main goal is to earn during the meal rush; the rest of the time, it’s just going through the motions.

The store only opened yesterday, and Xu Niannian could also sell noodles for breakfast.

Logically, she should have gotten up early to go there; other breakfast shops open at six in the morning.

But Xu Niannian didn’t want to wear herself out like that.

She wanted to make money, but she was doing it to enjoy life better, to not be at the very bottom among society’s people.

That was a principle she had realized when she had nothing in her past life—there’s nothing that can’t be solved with money, and if there is, then it must be because there isn’t enough money.

However, she also didn’t want to exhaust herself just to make money—otherwise, it wouldn’t be worth it to end up sick without having earned anything.

So, Xu Niannian didn’t plan to compete for the breakfast crowd.

She decided to do as usual, sleep until seven o’clock, get herself ready, have something to eat, and then slowly head to the store to work.

Jin Yu also went with her to help today, and they arrived at the store around nine o’clock.

Xu Zhiqiang went to the kitchen to start a fire. Half of the vegetables they bought previously were still unsold, so there was no need to go to the morning market to buy more.

Xu Niannian called Jin Yu to the counter.

Jin Yu glanced at the fingers on his sleeve and raised an eyebrow, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, "About yesterday, I’m sorry."

"Hmm," Jin Yu accepted the apology, his face still expressionless.

Feeling quite pleased internally, Xu Niannian’s next sentence immediately sent him to the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

"Jin Yu, actually, you don’t have to deliberately come to help me. We aren’t really engaged, so you can go attend to your own business. As for the profit sharing—you don’t have to worry about me doing anything underhanded."

Hearing her suggest sending him away again, Jin Yu felt somewhat crappy, his heart chilling.

But indeed, he had things to do, which all depended on teaching her self-defense techniques afterward.

He was eager to find something on Ye Xiangtian, to hit him where it hurt the most.

But if he just left now, he wouldn’t feel at ease about her.

She was so beautiful, and now that she had opened a store, she was likely to attract trouble.

Here he was, worrying himself to pieces for her, and yet she couldn’t wait to send him packing.

"I don’t feel at ease about you," Jin Yu said bluntly. "Did you forget the last time you were bullied?"

Of course, Xu Niannian hadn’t forgotten, but she couldn’t always stick to him like a shadow, right?

He wasn’t her anything, and besides, if he was always hanging around her, wouldn’t he miss out on finding his true love?

Seeing her wavering, Jin Yu pressed on, "I will have to leave for a while soon. Since I have a share in the store’s earnings, it’s only fair I contribute. You should hire a couple of workers over these next few days. Once you have people, I’ll attend to my business and also teach you some simple self-defense techniques in the meantime."

His argument made sense, and Xu Niannian suddenly found herself without an excuse to refuse.

The truth was, rejecting Jin Yu was mainly because she felt their relationship was getting too close.

But when it came to the issue of self-defense techniques, Xu Niannian’s delicate eyebrows twisted, "It’s been half a month since you promised to teach me self-defense techniques, and it seems like you’ve never taught me once."

Jin Yu: "..."

Alright, that time he was being selfish, wanting to spend more time by her side.

"I’ll teach you when we get back tonight."

"Deal."

Apart from nodding, Xu Niannian seemed to have no other choice.

Because of the successful opening day yesterday, when lunchtime came and the factory workers got off work, they flocked to the store in groups.

Over forty tables were filled within half an hour.

Xu Niannian and Jin Yu started another round of busyness.

Xu Niannian was a quick cook, and buttery noodles only needed to be cooked and scooped up, so from ordering to eating, the longest wait was about ten minutes.

But that was just the first few who arrived early.

Later, in just a few minutes, they filled every table, and Xu Niannian and Jin Yu were indeed a bit overwhelmed.

Mainly because after preparing the meals, they had to serve them personally, which slowed them down.

And with the increased crowd, it was easy to deliver food to the wrong tables.

After the midday rush, Xu Niannian was exhausted, while Jin Yu, despite sweating profusely, still seemed full of energy.

This made Xu Niannian enviously impressed. Accustomed to the open lifestyle of her later life, she set aside her concerns of propriety between men and women due to her exhaustion and pinched Jin Yu’s firm arm.

"Your stamina is really good."
