Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Childhood Sweethearts on Invincible Ground

The next day, the staff at the "Green Plum" milk tea shop met up in the store again.

Actually, aside from these main staff members, Lin Shuang also hired two part-time female college students.

The storefront is quite big, but a few people working there is completely enough, perhaps even a bit too many...

After all, for milk tea, there’s really nothing much to say about other services. Just make it and place it at the counter, and customers can pick it up with their number.

Cleaning is done by a cleaner hired separately. She just needs to occasionally clear away tissues, cups, and such left by customers from the tables, and then sweep and mop the floor when the shop opens and closes. The workload isn’t that substantial.

Today, Lin Shuang and everyone gathered at the milk tea shop, the first order of business was that the custom-made uniforms for the staff had arrived.

Qipao with thigh-highs!

Initially, the boss Lin Shuang wanted to use Hanfu with black stockings, but that combination seemed a bit improper.

Qipao seemed to be a better choice.

Fu Wenxue held up the qipao against her body, "The boss is pretty generous, huh? This fabric is quite nice."

"Ordered specially from a tailor."

Lin Shuang grinned, "I’m such a good-hearted boss, giving everyone a piece of clothing before you’ve even started working."

Ji Lingmeng covered her little mouth and yawned "Wow wow wow," "Are you sure it’s not to satisfy some particular fetish of the boss..."

"This qipao is pretty decent! For our antique-style milk tea shop, it’s reasonable for the staff to wear qipaos."

"But these black stockings aren’t really decent!"

Fu Wenxue glanced at the yawning Lingmeng, then at Lin Shuang, who wasn’t looking too energetic, and at Su Wan, who was dozing off on his shoulder.

"You guys... why are you all so sleepy? Did you stay up late playing Farmville together last night?"

She probably knew why Su Wan and Lin Shuang were tired—they had been gossiping about Goddess Su last night.

But what about Lingmeng!

Ji Lingmeng sat up straight immediately, "No no no... It’s just that I caught up on some extra episodes last night."

It wasn’t because she was chatting with the boss late into the night...

This poor little apprentice was abandoned by Lin Shuang last night, and then spent some time frantically messaging "Boss! Master! Don’t dock my pay!"

Then she rolled around in bed, hugging her own feet, and started contemplating.

After trying to take a few pictures and feeling none looked good, she deleted them.

It was late when she finally went to bed.

Anyway... it’s all the fault of that darn boss and master who likes pretty girls’ feet!

Su Wan, leaning on Lin Shuang’s shoulder, half-opened her eyes and glanced at Lingmeng’s expression.

Then she let out a "meowow~" and bit down on Lin Shuang’s shoulder through the thin fabric.

She used a bit of force, causing a stinging sensation, but it was more ticklish than anything else.

Lin Shuang turned his head and with his eyes, asked this Wanwan, "What happened? Were you born in the Year of the Dog or something?"

Su Wan returned a look that said, "We’ll settle this later."

Fu Wenxue seemed to still be confused.

Lin Shuang had no choice but to pick on his good buddy, Yang Deyou.

Yang Deyou was inspecting his own staff uniform, which of course wasn’t a qipao but an outfit resembling that of an inn server.

He spoke up honestly, "Lin Shuang... doesn’t this outfit look a bit odd?"

"It’s for the antique-style milk tea shop. You’re the manager, so wearing an inn server’s outfit is totally appropriate."

Yang Deyou scratched his elbow, "... Seems so, right?"

Lin Shuang laughed, "Or are you saying you also want to wear a qipao with black stockings? I don’t mind fulfilling that request either..."

Fu Wenxue egged him on from the side, "Deyou, why don’t you try mine on?"

"It’s going to get stretched out, isn’t it?"

"You really want to try it out!"

All three store clerks had changed into their uniforms, and Lin Shuang’s comment was: Wanwan should also get one.

He conveyed such a suggestion with his eyes to Wanwan, then received a kick from her.

Satisfying.

After chatting about clothes, next was the second item on the agenda for today’s meeting.

The tea shop’s opening ceremony performance!

Su Wan leaned on Lin Shuang’s shoulder to rest enough, then stretched and yawned, "So we’re really going to do an anime-themed opening celebration?"

"I think it’s actually pretty good, since our target consumers for the milk tea shop are college students anyway."

Lin Shuang continued, "Both ancient style and anime-themed, it’s definitely going to lure in college students."

Yang Deyou silently raised his hand to speak, "Do I really have to go on stage and dress as Ultraman?"

Lin Shuang waved his hand, "Change of plans."

Just as Yang Deyou heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, Lin Shuang spoke again, "Now the organization has decided to have you go on stage as the Monster!"

Fu Wenxue eagerly volunteered, "Then I’ll play Ultraman!"

"Hmm? Sure."

Lin Shuang had originally planned to go on stage himself as Ultraman defeating the Monster.

Now that Fu Wenxue was interested, it was even better—Yang Deyou wouldn’t oppose it!

Lin Shuang gently clapped his hands together, "Wanwan and I will accompany you from below, I can play the guitar."

Su Wan also looked eager to try, "Then I’ll play the piano~"

Lingmeng twirled her little head around, looking left and right, pointing at herself, "What about me?"

Lin Shuang, of course, had already clearly arranged roles for his little apprentice, "You will wear a Magic Girl cosplay outfit and do the Otaku dance on stage!"

"A Magic Girl dancing in front, with Ultraman and the Monster fighting in the background? Isn’t this scene too weird?"

Fu Wenxue corrected, "Not fighting, but me as Ultraman beating up the little Monster—one-sidedly—right, Deyou?"

Yang Deyou honestly nodded his head.

Su Wan chuckled and asked, "Big-faced Fu, which Ultraman suit do you plan to put on? Seven or Taro?"

Fu Wenxue patted Yang Deyou’s shoulder, "Which Ultraman do you like?"

Yang Deyou blushed and couldn’t say a word.

"Hey, what’s there to be shy about? How about I go as Mother of Ultra?"

Lin Shuang looked at his good buddy like that, trying to hold back laughter, "The one with twin tails? I think that’s great! Mother of Ultra personally goes into battle to beat up the little Monster!"

And just like that, this makeshift stage was set for an opening ceremony performance that sounded utterly absurd, with rehearsals starting tomorrow.

Afterward, everyone went their separate ways, and Su Wan, with her arm around Lin Shuang’s shoulder, kept him back.

Lin Shuang, watching Yang Deyou leave with Fu Wenxue, laughed and said, "Your roommate is making such a strong move, she’s about to completely mess Deyou up—how long do you think it will take her to win Deyou over?"

Su Wan kicked him, "Lin Dasha, why don’t you talk about how long it will take for you to win over your little apprentice?"

Lin Shuang cleared his throat, "Cough cough, I and she are very innocent! She just wants to learn Wing Chun from me, and that’s why she keeps calling me master."

"Have I ever told you that every time you clear your throat, it means you’re about to start making up stories? You better break that habit, otherwise, how are you going to flirt with girls?"

Lin Shuang blinked, "... Wanwan, you don’t have some sort of special fetish, do you? Been reading too many Minotaur-themed stories recently?"

"I am just your childhood friend, I’m the one who impressed them, not the other way around."

"...There’s even this angle?"

"Enough, go flirt with whichever girl you want, I’ll always be your childhood friend anyway."

Su Wan took off her shoes and stretched her stocking-clad feet into his lap, "Now, start by massaging your mistress’ feet."

"Can I nibble them after I’m done?"

"My mouth is still a bit swollen!"
