The canteen was abuzz with noise, but she turned off her screen and began to feel so nervous that her mouth went dry. The voices around her ears gradually faded away, becoming a blur, while the sound of her heartbeat in her chest grew clearer and clearer.
At the window, the canteen auntie looked down and called out.
"What will you have?"
Li Yang had no idea in her mind to count her place in line, nor did she hear her friend Mei Mengqi speaking to her clearly; she looked up blankly after hearing a muddled repetition.
"Li Li, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." She shook her head.
Just then, her phone buzzed, nearly scaring the soul out of her. Li Yang was a bit afraid of Xu Qingyan, who was even more inscrutable in his dealings than the fruit shop owner.
When he wasn't smiling, his expression was as serious as a nail board. If it were discovered that she still wanted to get a part-time job, she would likely be scolded mercilessly.
