The fear of his body constantly falling down, the powerlessness of not being able to grasp anything, and the strong sense of suffocation made Min Deng, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes.

The sudden flash of light rushed into his eyes, and Min Deng trembled for a moment, then he froze on the sofa and almost stopped breathing for a few seconds.

But soon, the warm lights in the room and the coffee table covered with warm tablecloths brought Min Deng back to his senses.

It's safe here.

Panting for breath, Min Deng straightened up, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup and drank a few swigs.

He didn't know how long he slept, the tea was already cold.

He stared blankly at the bottom of the teacup for a few seconds, stretched out his trembling hand, and brought up several medicine bottles placed under the coffee table.

Looking at the pill in his hand, Min Deng showed obvious resistance and disgust on his face.But it was only for a moment, then he frowned, raised his head and took the medicine.

The big cup of tea soon bottomed out, and Min Deng filled another cup and held it in his hand to cover it.

The warm water slowly soothed his tense nerves. He put the cup away and fell directly on the sofa.

Min Deng stared at the ceiling with his eyes open until the buzzing in his ears and the black shadow in front of him disappeared.He reached out his hand to touch the sweat-soaked place on his body, and it was completely cool.

When he was thinking about whether to change clothes, he only noticed the time displayed brightly on the wall.

Min Deng suddenly jumped up on the sofa.

He was late.

After Min Deng came out of the house, he rushed directly to the western restaurant where he worked.

He entered the restaurant through the back door of the staff, and went to the locker room to change into the required uniform.

Now it was dinner time, Min Deng carefully avoided the busy crowd, and just as he was about to walk to his place, a pair of hands grabbed his shoulders.

Min Deng's breathing came up suddenly, he turned around abruptly, and only relaxed when he saw clearly that the person grabbing his shoulder was Zhang Qiu.

"Why did you go?" Zhang Qiu narrowed his eyes and snorted disdainfully, "Do you know you're late?"

"Sorry..." Min Deng felt the people around him tighten their grip on their pants nervously.

"Can't your voice be louder? You look like a woman." Zhang Qiu gave Min Deng a sideways look, turned around and left with a cold snort.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had shifted, Min Deng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried back to his post.

His job was originally to clean the back kitchen, but when he was busy, he had to help with some simple dishes... such as peeling potatoes.

But usually he just needs to clean up the trash.

Zhang Qiu, who just grabbed his shoulder, is his only friend, and Zhang Qiu introduced him to work here.

Min Deng swiftly sorted all the garbage in the back kitchen.Before he was completely busy, he wiped and procrastinated what should be wiped, and prepared to go back to the locker room to sit.

"That cleaner who stutters, hey, I'm talking about you, a cleaner who doesn't know which airs to put on all day, and dares to be late."

When Min Deng heard this voice, he frowned and didn't want to pay attention, and walked straight forward without looking back.

Even if he didn't see anyone, he knew it was a tall, thin man who called him.This person is in charge of the buffet counter in their restaurant, and his name is Zhou Yigang.

"You're deaf!" Zhou Yigang yelled, carrying a bag of potatoes and quickly walked forward, sideways blocked the Min Deng, raised his hand and threw the potatoes at his feet, "Young girl is quite annoying, today Are you too busy to wash these potatoes?"

Zhou Yigang said that although he said so, he sneered and turned away without waiting for Min Deng to agree.

Min Deng glanced at the scattered potatoes on the ground, frowned and stared at them for a while.

He didn't want to argue with such a person, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.

Bending down to pick up all the potatoes, Min Deng found a remote place, took a basin of water and started peeling.

When the back kitchen was busy, the voice of reporting the names of the dishes almost never stopped, and everyone was so busy.

Min Deng sat in the corner, looked down at the cleaned potatoes in his hands, and let out a long breath.

He soaked the potatoes in the water, stroked the water with his hands, and relaxed.

At this moment, there was a rush of eager footsteps mixed with various voices, rushing towards the unnoticed corner of the kitchen.

Min Deng was washing potatoes carefully in the water when he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

Being slapped so suddenly, Min Deng shrank subconsciously towards the corner of the wall, and made a muffled sound when his back hit the cold and hard wall.

The foreman who patted him on the shoulder was startled by Min Deng's excessive reaction compared to ordinary people, but the foreman quickly reacted.He coughed twice, retracted his hand, embarrassment flashed across his face, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you won't be touched."

The foreman turned his head to look at the other people who were busy around him, touched his nose and said, "The boss came here today, there are too many people outside, and the password door at the back kitchen is broken, and customers are easy to find the wrong bathroom and come in by mistake." , stand outside in the corridor and point out."

While listening to the foreman's speech, Min Deng uncontrollably clenched the potato spatula in his hand, lowered his head and was short of breath.

The foreman was not surprised when he saw this, but he just said it again and again.

Min Deng's breathing also slowly calmed down. He nodded silently after hearing this, and then bent down to clean up the scattered potatoes and water on the ground.

The foreman frowned and glanced at him, urged him a few times, and left first.

Min Deng reached out and untied the apron around his waist, put the peeled potatoes where they should be put, and walked outside the back kitchen.

The owner of the restaurant should be here today, so there are more guests from outside.

The head chef of their restaurant is usually a foreigner who has been hired, but occasionally the restaurant owner will come over and do the cooking himself when he is in the mood, wearing the high hat of a chef.

Min Deng has not seen the boss once in so long.

However, he pieced together such a person through the eager and longing chats of other people - rich, handsome, and very good-natured.

Min Deng lowered his head and wiped the water on his hands, thinking about the way the female guests came with the boss in the past, he felt a little uncertain.He could only hold back his anxiety and stare at the long corridor in front of him.

After standing for a long time, the only people coming and going around me were the waiters who came to the back kitchen to serve the dishes.He stood at the corner of the first pass, but no one noticed him.

Min Deng breathed a sigh of relief, leaning his back against the wall, lowering his head to look at the marble patterns on the floor.

At this moment, the sound of the piano in front of the restaurant came faintly, which relieved Min Deng's nervousness a little.

Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps slowly came from the long corridor in front of which there had been no movement. It was a footstep different from that of the waiters, neither crisp nor urgent.

Min Deng swallowed, knowing that someone might be coming, he pinched his thigh and straightened his waist.

Moved slowly into the corridor.

As the sound of footsteps approached, Min Deng subconsciously clenched his hands on both sides, and his mind kept going through a set of words that the foreman just taught him - sorry, the bathroom is on your right, go straight to the right .

Just such a short sentence, Min Deng silently recited it in his heart for nearly a dozen times, but he was still very nervous, for fear of making a mistake.

"Hello." A man's voice sounded.

Min Deng began to breathe a little anxiously, but he was quickly suppressed by himself, and raised his head hesitantly while cheering himself up.

But it was only at this moment that he managed to inflate a half-full balloon, and the first time Min Deng raised his head to see the person coming, most of his anger was vented, and he was so frightened that he lowered his head again.

Men may look too oppressive because they look too tall.

So when the man raised his hand, Min Deng was frightened and took a step back.But thinking of the foreman's advice, he mustered up the courage and said softly, "I'm sorry...toilet..."

Huo Shu looked at the boy who actively blocked his way, but acted like he was being bullied, couldn't help laughing, and guessed: "Are you going to the bathroom?"

"...No." When Min Deng heard the man laughing, he became more nervous and stumbled, "It's you...going...to the bathroom."

Huo Shu: "..."

"Should I go to the toilet?" Huo Shu was a little taken aback.

Min Deng struggled to miss the man's sight, and nodded in a daze.
