Xiao Zi looked at Su Yuanyuan with a puzzled expression and asked with concern, "Liangzi, what's wrong? You were fine last night."

Su Yuanyuan sighed helplessly and replied, "Oh, it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Xiao Zi asked worriedly, "Is it insomnia? Should we go see a doctor?"

Su Yuanyuan quickly waved her hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary. She was just a little sleep-deprived and didn't need to see a doctor.

Seeing how indifferent she seemed, Xiao Zi frowned. "Why don't you take a day off today? Come back to work tomorrow."

Su Yuanyuan smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Xiaozhi, but I'm really fine! I'll feel better soon."

After saying that, she took a deep breath and tried to cheer herself up to start working.

She muttered to herself, "I don't want to go back and stay with Gin!"

"Okay then, please be sure to tell me if you feel unwell."

Xiao Zi saw that she insisted and didn't try to persuade her anymore, so she could only keep an eye on her more while she was at work.

"Miss Ryoko, a cup of coffee will make you feel better."

Tanaka pushed a cup of coffee towards Su Yuanyuan, smiling and indicating that she shouldn't be shy.

"Thank you!"

Su Yuanyuan smiled and accepted his offer; she did indeed need a cup of coffee to perk herself up.

She sat at the bar drinking coffee. Seeing that there weren't many customers in the store, she didn't get up and casually clicked on the spinning wheel to draw a prize.

Su Yuanyuan was speechless when she received a pound of honeycomb briquettes. The prizes these days are getting weirder and weirder, they have all sorts of things.

After drawing the prize, she simply tossed it into her spatial storage and left it there. After finishing her cup of coffee, the store started to get busier, so she quickly changed her clothes to help out.

"welcome!"

Su Yuanyuan heard the doorbell ring and, as usual, bowed in welcome.

"Oh my! I haven't been here for a few days, and such a beautiful young lady has come to work."

Su Yuanyuan looked up. The person who came in looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

"Oh, isn't this the beautiful girl from the bridge the other day? Hello!"

As soon as he mentioned it, Su Yuanyuan remembered that it was the kind person from that day.

"Oh, it's you. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you that day."

"Haha, it's nothing. I thought you were having some kind of mental breakdown that day. It seems I was overthinking it."

Su Yuanyuan chuckled twice. "Would you like some coffee? Please have a seat here."

She led the man to a seat by the window and placed the menu in front of him.

"Beautiful lady, let's get acquainted. My name is Kogoro Mouri, and I run a detective agency upstairs."

Kogoro Mouri picked up the menu, glanced at it, and then fixed his gaze on her, looking like a lecherous man.

His tone and actions were flippant, but his eyes were upright, so Su Yuanyuan didn't find him annoying.

"My name is Ryoko Komatsubara. I work part-time here. Mr. Mori, would you like something to drink?"

"Miss Ryoko, you can come up with anything."

"Okay, Mr. Mori, please wait a moment."

Su Yuanyuan took the menu back to the bar, where Tanaka had already started making coffee.

She had always been curious about how Tanaka could always know in advance how the customers would order coffee and always be able to start making it ahead of time.

While she was waiting for her coffee, she heard a system notification that the data collection was complete and she could go home anytime.

Su Yuanyuan felt she could stay and enjoy herself for a while longer, so she wasn't in a hurry to leave.

"Miss Ryoko, the coffee is ready."

Tanaka's voice startled Su Yuanyuan. She smiled sheepishly, picked up her coffee, and left.

"Mr. Mori, your coffee."

Kogoro Mouri flashed what he thought was a very cool smile, but Su Yuanyuan thought it looked a little lewd.

She smiled politely and said, "Please enjoy your meal."

She was afraid she would laugh if she didn't leave soon. Mr. Mori wasn't a bad person, and it would be impolite of her to make fun of him.

When Su Yuanyuan was leaving get off work, she received a call from Qin Jiu, asking her to bring cigarettes and alcohol home. Su Yuanyuan almost cursed him out.

In the end, her survival instinct made her hold back, but she could already imagine what her house would be like.

Su Yuanyuan missed several convenience stores along the way, and only reluctantly went into one when she was almost home.

She hesitated at the counter for a long time before finally choosing the worst cigarettes and alcohol, hoping he would think they were bad and consume less.

When she passed by the discount section, she casually scanned a few items and put them in her shopping cart. After thinking about it for a moment, she also grabbed a lot of instant noodles. Don't even think about making her cook.

Su Yuanyuan decided that during the few days that Gin stayed, they would eat instant noodles every day.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt something hard on her forehead. Su Yuanyuan stood up and glared at him. When Gin saw that it was her, he chuckled and put away his gun.

Su Yuanyuan took a deep breath and smiled. "Big brother, I bought a bento box. Let's have something simple to eat tonight."

Gin ignored her, reached into the shopping bag and took out cigarettes and alcohol. When he saw the cigarettes and alcohol that Su Yuanyuan had bought, his face darkened.

Su Yuanyuan pretended not to understand, tilting her head and looking at him with an innocent expression.

"What's wrong, brother? Don't you like what I bought? I've never bought these before. What brand do you like? I'll buy them for you next time."

Gin stared at her for a long time. Su Yuanyuan felt her hair stand on end under his dark eyes and dared not move at all.

He finally had his fill of looking, picked up his cigarettes and alcohol, and sat back down on the sofa. Su Yuanyuan quietly exhaled, only then realizing that her back was icy cold.

Su Yuanyuan put all the instant noodles into the cupboard. Since she couldn't store the bento boxes, she would have them as her dinner for the day.

In the short time it took to heat up a meal, Gin had already turned her house into a fairyland. Su Yuanyuan was choked and coughed incessantly when she brought out the food.

"Big brother, smoke less and come eat." Su Yuanyuan prayed that he would listen to her and put out his cigarette.

Perhaps God heard her prayers, because Gin really put out his cigarette and sat down to eat. Su Yuanyuan quickly opened the window to let the smell dissipate.

Then, she eagerly placed all the foods she didn't like in front of Gin, saying, "Big brother, have some meat. These are all things I've eaten before, and they all taste great."

Gin raised his eyelashes and glanced at her, while Su Yuanyuan sat back down to eat, feeling sullen.

After finishing her meal, Su Yuanyuan went to throw away the trash. When she came back, she saw Gin preparing to smoke again. She quickly took two steps and dodged the cigarette from his hand.

Gin turned his head sharply and looked at her intently.

"You want to die."

Su Yuanyuan swallowed hard, put the cigarette on the table, picked up a bottle of wine, and leaned over with a fawning expression.

"Brother, calm down. Smoking is bad for your health. As for drinking, as the saying goes, 'A glass of wine after a meal will help you live to ninety-nine.' Let me fill your glass."

Su Yuanyuan poured a full glass of water and carefully pushed it in front of Gin.

"Brother, please take care of yourself. I still want to continue working for you. Smoke less, drink more, and try to live to ninety-nine, right?"

Gin looked at her and sneered. After a long while, he finally picked up the glass and took a sip. Su Yuanyuan put the bottle back on the table with relief.

"Brother, please enjoy your drink. I'll go clean up."

When he left, he secretly took the cigarettes with him. The bottles were easy to clean up. He should just drink gin and get drunk so he could sleep.
