120: Chapter 55: The Cafeteria Auntie without a Badge (Extra 1000 words!)_3 120: Chapter 55: The Cafeteria Auntie without a Badge (Extra 1000 words!)_3 Wei Liang’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but want to remind Lin Yi to be careful with his meal selection.
But Lin Yi’s forehead was already beaded with sweat.
The food from window number 3 just now might have been off, but at least it was from “Chef-0391”; however, the current dish…
who the hell knows whether it was served by a human or a ghost!
Moreover, ever since he realized there was something wrong with the Cafeteria Auntie, he had adamantly not “accepted” any “requests for interaction” from her.
He was watching, observing, but he just didn’t respond to the Cafeteria Auntie.
Suddenly, he noticed that the light at serving window number 1 had dimmed a bit more…
Then, a chill spread from the bottom of his heart…
He jolted violently, his keen intuition telling him—something was not right!
Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he noticed the door behind serving window number 1 was ajar.
‘!!!’ His heart turned cold.
He clearly remembered that during the normal lunchtime, window number 3 was fully enclosed!
Which means…
something indeed had gone through serving window number 1!
At this moment, he felt as though someone in his field of vision was watching him—probably from the corner of his eye!
He raised his alertness slightly, concentrated a bit more, and the next moment he was so frightened he nearly had an out-of-body experience.
He saw a chef wearing a green apron, squatting in the shadow of the Cafeteria Auntie, like the little boy from the cursed X, with his head down, yet casting an extremely cold gaze upon him.
Staring intently at him.
‘Holy shit…’
Lin Yi was so scared that his back went cold and his limbs chilled; he stumbled and almost lost his balance, but luckily he managed to hold onto the counter of the serving window, which prevented him from showing any abnormal reaction.
Listening to the increasingly noisy urging sounds around him and looking at the badgeless Cafeteria Auntie and the creepy green-aproned chef, Lin Yi suddenly had an idea.
He shouted toward the man preparing utensils behind serving window number 1: “Hey, Uncle over there!
Could you serve me a meal, please?”
The Cafeteria Uncle, as if he’d been pardoned, quickly trotted over, took a new plate and asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Lin Yi quickly assessed the situation.
Blue apron, badge number “Chef-0105”.
Besides being a bit anxious and agitated, there were no problems.
He promptly pointed out, “Just these three.”
“Oh right, no need to toss the food.”
The Cafeteria Uncle tensed up for a moment, then while serving, said helplessly, “No tossing won’t do…
Hurry up and eat, young man.”
He said this and tossed the food.
While he was tossing the food, Lin Yi noticed that the chef in the green apron, who had been curled up in the Cafeteria Auntie’s shadow, was now lying on top of the food compartment at some point, and from somewhere she produced some scrambled eggs with tomato and reached to add them to the serving spoon.
The Cafeteria Uncle was completely unaware of her, but his food-tossing technique skillfully avoided the scrambled eggs with tomato.
He finished serving the meal onto the plate, then handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief and then received the plate.
He whispered urgently to Wei Liang, “Liangzi, quickly get the same as me!”
Wei Liang was startled and instinctively said, “Hey, I don’t eat beef!”
“Then hurry up and choose!
Quickly!” Lin Yi said.
“Oh oh oh…” Wei Liang hastily placed his order.
The Cafeteria Uncle did not disappoint; he quickly served Wei Liang a meal too.
During this whole process, Lin Yi kept a close watch on the green-aproned chef, noticing her failed attempts to sneak in the scrambled eggs with tomato several times, which made him somewhat relieved.
Seeing Wei Liang receive his plate, he finally put his mind at ease and walked to the card machine, swiping his Student ID card with a swashbuckling motion.
But as he turned around, he suddenly noticed that a box of milk had been placed on his meal tray.
His movement froze instantly…
He quickly recalled whether he had subconsciously picked up the box of milk after swiping his Student ID card, or…
His eyes moved slowly, catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye—a pair of leather shoes, white trousers, and…
a blue apron.
The chef with the blue apron, who liked to swap milk at lunchtime, had appeared here again!
And this time, he took the initiative to place a box of milk on his meal tray!
But then…
‘Why does he like adding tomatoes normally?
Why did he change his routine and place milk this time?’ Lin Yi thought.
“I remember you like milk…
Don’t forget to drink it,” the chef with the blue apron reminded with a professional smile on his face.
‘Damn it…!’ Lin Yi swore internally, but he still did not respond to the words of the chef with the blue apron.
The chef with the blue apron wasn’t upset but just quietly looked at his face.
‘It’s fine…
as long as it doesn’t contain Tomato Element,’ Lin Yi thought to himself, repeatedly confirming there was nothing wrong with the milk before he planned to move aside.
But just then, Wei Liang finished swiping his Student ID card and was very careful to lift his meal tray with both hands.
At that moment, Lin Yi caught sight of the chef in the blue apron suddenly slipping a tomato into Wei Liang’s hand.
Wei Liang, who had been on high alert, didn’t react at all to having a tomato placed in his hand!
Not only did he not realize, but also he naturally placed the tomato on the tray before picking it up again.
