Multiple choice question: follow me home

lunar New Year.

In the past, Shang Ziheng spent every Lunar New Year with the Erbo's family in a lively manner.This year, he is the only one left. This is the first time he has celebrated the New Year alone since he was born, and he is still in a foreign country.A sense of desolation welled up in my heart.

Shang Ziheng shook his head, trying not to think about these sad things.

Today is New Year's Eve, which coincides with Saturday, so he decided to go to Q&W early, after all, he would be less cranky in crowded places.

As soon as I arrived in the dressing room, my mother took out a red envelope. "We heard from the foreman that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and you take this."

"Huh?" Shang Ziheng was quite surprised.

"What are you doing in a daze, take it quickly." Mom Sang stuffed the red envelope into Shang Ziheng's hand.

"Take it, Xiaowei, this is the lucky money we gave you."

"Yeah, Xiao Wei is still a child."

"Ah, I really want lucky money too."

"Sister, are you a little old?"

"Taozi, what you said made me sad."

The sisters were still laughing and joking as usual.Holding the red envelope, Shang Ziheng felt so warm.This is the first time he has received New Year's money from someone other than the second uncle's family and the landlord, Grandma Suzuki.

"Xiaowei, you came so early today, can you help a few more people make up?" Taozi asked.

"Well, no problem."

"Great." Tao Zi smiled and ran away.

That night, Shang Ziheng received a red envelope from the head chef and the foreman, plus a bunch of delicious food. His mother Sang also gave him three days off to rest at home.

All this moved Shang Ziheng who was alone.

On the way home, he received a call from Tomoya Kawagami.

"Happy New Year." Tomoya Kawagami said in Chinese.

"Tomoya-senpai, your Chinese always makes me feel like I'm listening to Chinese people."

"I couldn't go to the store today, sorry."

"It's okay, it's more important to prepare for the exam."

"I'll find you in the store after the exam is over."

"Okay, let's go for the exam."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Shang Ziheng continued to walk home.

"Oh, isn't this Xiaoheng?" As soon as Shang Ziheng arrived at the entrance of the alley, he bumped into the landlady, Grandma Suzuki, who came from the other side.

"Good evening, Grandma Suzuki. Why are you still outside so late?"

"The old man has a stomach problem, and I'm going to buy medicine for him."

"Are you ok?"

"It's all right, it's just an old problem. Did you just come back from your uncle's house?" Grandma Suzuki asked.

Shang Ziheng hesitated for a while, then nodded, "En."

"By the way, Xiao Heng, you wait here." Grandma Suzuki said, and ran into the house quickly, and then ran out again, "Here, the lucky money, this year we must work hard."

Grandma Suzuki is used to giving him lucky money on Chinese New Year instead of New Year's Day.

"Thank you."

When I got home, I took a hot shower.Shang Ziheng's cell phone rang.

"Xiaowei, happy new year."

"Sister Shizuko."

"I've been busy upstairs today, and I don't have time to go downstairs to find you."

"No wonder I didn't see you today."

"You didn't come to the store on New Year's Day, and I didn't keep up with everyone today. I feel like a failure."

During the few days of New Year's Day, Shang Ziheng had been working overtime in the toy store and missed the New Year's event in Q&W.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, tomorrow is the real first day of the new year." Shang Ziheng said.

"Do you have any New Year's resolutions?"

"New Year's resolution?"

"For example, the problems you want to get rid of, the goals you want to achieve, the things you want, and so on."

"Hmm..." Shang Ziheng thought for a while, "It seems not."

"No?" Shizuko asked again.

"Wishes are too illusory. Instead of thinking about them, it's better to do something practical."

"I see, I have a proposal."

"What proposal?"

"Starting tomorrow, resume work in the store."

"Huh?" Does this mean he's going to start working as a waiter again?

"On the first day of the new year, a new beginning, use your actual actions." Jingzi said.

"However, I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

"Xiaowei, don't run away anymore, you can do it or not, you can only know if you experience it yourself, it is impossible to continue like this."

Shang Ziheng held his mobile phone and thought for a moment, "Okay, I see, I will come to work on time tomorrow."

That's right, it's impossible for him to continue like this. If he doesn't work, he will have no income for a day. Now is not the time for him to let himself be willful without limit.

The guests came to Q&W to find the sisters, this is not GayBar, and he is a man, so the last incident was just an accident.Shang Ziheng kept using these words for self-suggestion to dispel the fear in his heart.

But he failed.

As soon as he put on the waiter's clothes, he began to panic, and when he arrived at the lobby, he hid in the bar and dared not go out. He finally mustered up the courage to deliver drinks to the guests, but when he passed by another guest, he asked He dodged to the side reflexively, but unexpectedly, the movement was too large, the plate was not stable, and the wine bottle fell from the plate to the ground and broke.

In the end, this "comeback" ended with complaints from customers, and Shang Ziheng apologized and lost money.

"Change, follow me." Shizuko's voice appeared in the dressing room.

Shang Ziheng looked up and saw Jingzi holding a kimono in his hand, "This is?"

"Your last chance."

"You mean...upstairs..."

Shizuko put down her clothes and asked, "Do you want to try?"

"but I……"

"Little ghost, don't run away!" Jingzi said in a strong tone that could not be explained.

Shang Ziheng stared blankly at Jingzi, it was the first time he heard such a masculine tone. "Can I really do it?"

"Try it and you'll know."

try?Still not trying?After what happened just now, this is really his last chance to stay here.Shang Ziheng decided to gamble again.

"Yeah." He nodded vigorously, "I see."

"Hurry up and change clothes." The mirror urged.

"Well... Sister Jingzi, do you want to avoid it?"

"Will you wear it?"

"Won't……"

With Jingzi's help, Shang Ziheng put on the kimono and came to the dressing room.

After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Shang Ziheng began to put on makeup, and Jingzi found a wig from the inside.

"Xiaowei, have you finally made up your mind?" Mama Sang asked.

"Well, but I'm not confident yet."

"It doesn't matter, Xiao Wei will definitely have no problem pretending to be a woman. I believe in your acting skills."

"Acting skills? I don't have any acting skills at all."

"Don't be modest, I can clearly see the expressions on the stage."

"Eh?"

"Oh, I slipped my tongue." Mama Sang hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Commemorative CD." said Jingzi who was helping Shang Ziheng fix the wig.

"Given by Senior Tomoya?" Shang Ziheng didn't know about it at all.

"Hurry up." Jingzi urged again.She didn't answer Shang Ziheng's question because it was unnecessary.

"It's done." Shang Ziheng put down the lip gloss.

"Go upstairs." Shang Ziheng was pulled out of the dressing room by Jingzi before the surrounding sisters had time to express their praise.

Open the dividing door on the second floor, and the melodious traditional Japanese music is heard.

Jingzi handed a card to Shang Ziheng, and then pointed to the door.

It turns out that you need a key to enter the Zephyr box, and you need a pass card to get out of the Zephyr box.

"Prevent customers from going wrong," Shizuko explained.

Shang Ziheng followed Jingzi as he walked in the corridor with a strong breeze, and the anxiety in his heart gradually eased.

"The work here is the same as downstairs." Jingzi said after taking Shang Ziheng to a room at the end of the corridor.

"Xiaowei." Taozi ran over happily, "Wow, so beautiful!"

"Little Taozi, I'll leave it to you." Jingzi left the room after finishing speaking.

"Why did you come upstairs?" Shang Ziheng asked Taozi.

"The second floor is understaffed." Tao Zi replied.

"Is this a newcomer?" The other sisters in kimonos looked at this side.Shang Ziheng found that they were all faces he had never seen before.

"This is Xiaowei, she has great makeup." Taozi introduced to everyone.

Shang Ziheng greeted everyone politely.

"The food is here, let's get busy first, and we'll talk when we're free," one of them said.

Shang Ziheng watched in amazement as the elevator brought up trays of food from downstairs, turned his head and asked, "This is it?"

"This is very interesting." Tao Zi pointed to the conveyor belt on one side and said, "The order list is transmitted downstairs through this, and the two elevators here will bring up clean items and ready-made food. The two elevators are used to send down the things used by the guests."

"What's down here?"

Tao Zi shook her head, "I don't know."

"Upstairs next to the shop." Shang Ziheng remembered what Jingzi said.Is the food also provided by the neighbors?

"By the way, the wine and drinks are over there." Tao Zi pointed to the refrigerator on the side of the room and a large row of wine racks.

"oh, I understand now."

"Ding Ding Ding." A ringing bell came from nowhere.

"Just right." Taozi led Shang Ziheng to a screen, "The guests in the box press the service button, and the corresponding lights will light up and the bell will sound."

"I see."

"Xuanjian, Xiaowei, go." Taozi said, and handed the electronic orderer to Shang Ziheng, "Your first job."

"En." Shang Ziheng reached out to take it.

Perhaps it was because the set of novelty things attracted Shang Ziheng's attention too much, or it was because the elegant environment made Shang Ziheng let go of his guard.By the time Shang Ziheng came back to his senses, it was already time to change shifts.

"Xiaowei, how do you feel?" Taozi asked after returning to the lounge on the second floor.

"Well, the feeling of an ordinary restaurant." Except that the customers are all men.

"After that, Xiaowei will work here, right?"

"Uh..." Shang Ziheng began to hesitate again, "I want to talk to Sister Jingzi before making a decision."

"What are you talking about?" Jingzi suddenly appeared behind Shang Ziheng.Seeing Shizuko coming back, Taozi consciously exits the room.

"How about this job?" Jingzi asked first.

"There is no unpleasant feeling."

"competent?"

"Yes." Shang Ziheng nodded, "Should."

"Thank you, you can go back."

"that……"

"Don't ask anything." Before Shang Ziheng could ask the question, Jingzi stopped him.

"Eh?"

"Curiosity has nothing to do with work."

"I see." Indeed, what Shang Ziheng wanted to know had nothing to do with work.

"This." Jingzi took out a red envelope from the drawer and handed it to Shang Ziheng, "Reward."

"award?"

"The first step in the new year."

*——*——*——*——*——*—*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*——*

At night, at Shizuko's residence, Shizuko, who had just taken a shower, came out of the bathroom with her upper body naked, and the doorbell rang at this moment.

Shizuko opened the door, and Tomoya Kawagami appeared at the door with an angry face.

"Bang!" Slamming the door hard, Kawagami Tomoya yelled at Shizuko, "What's going on?"

The mirror lit a cigarette and said quietly, "This is his own decision."

"I said stop!"

"You want me to learn from you and give up halfway?"

"I……"

"You will encounter this kind of thing sooner or later when you work in this kind of place, don't say you didn't think of it at first." Jingzi was also obviously angry.

Kawakami Tomoya continued to remain silent.

"In short, leave this matter alone, I have my own arrangements." Jingzi adjusted her tone, "Also, although we are not enemies, we are not friends either, so don't point fingers at me in the future. If you are not satisfied with my You can go and tell him the truth, but that child is not as useless as you imagined, and I don't care what the consequences will be."

"Is that so...excuse me." Kawagami Tomoya left Shizuko's house expressionlessly.

"Tch, no wonder you can't beat your father." Jingzi smothered the cigarette fiercely.
