Chapter 2734
Because the homestay had a tavern and provided supper, the rest of the waiters would only come to work from
5:00 p.m. until 2:00a.m.
The only part-time employee on the premises was Ursule, who would only come to sing for the customers at night,
and helped in the homestay when she did not have class during the day. And because she was a young lady, the
other employees took special care of her.
If her performance were to end very late at night and it was rather inconvenient for her to take a bus, she would be
allowed to stay in the homestay for the night.
Everyone who lived and worked here would eventually grow familiar with each other as they got along slowly, to the
extent that they would grow to cherish each other’s existence.
And Yale would arrange parties, staff meals, gift exchanges, and so on for his employees every holiday.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus, instead of saying that where they stayed and worked was a homestay, it functioned more like a family that
made everyone feel cozy and cherished.
Zephir walked out into the courtyard, where Yale was pruning the flowers and bonsai plants in the courtyard
He looked back at Zephir. “The weather is so fine today. Why don’t you go out for a stroll?”
“There’s nowhere to go or visit.”
“I think you’re even nerdier than I am.” Yale stood up slowly. “You’ve been here for so long. There are still a lot of
fun things to do and delicious food to try out in Hohman Town. It would be a pity if you were to miss those out.”
Zephir stared at the bonsai plants. “Since when did you take a liking to these?”
“I’m trying things out to add a little more significance to my life. After leaving all the hustle and bustle of the big city
behind for such a long time, one would grow casual and laid-back over time. Such people would either get into
gardening or tea drinking. I normally grab a cup of coffee or tea in the afternoon. Kisses is here accompanying me,
and someone is always here to chat with me. This retirement scheme that came early sounds rather enjoyable,
right?”
Zephir placed his hands behind his waist. “Is this the life of someone who holds himself aloof from the world?”
“What’s there to fight for? It doesn’t matter if we’re fighting for benefits or power. We can’t take any of them with
us when we die. Some people might pursue nobility, while some struggle with the basic necessities, but no matter
what we pursue, we must have our own goals.”
Yale stared at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. “And my goal is simple. I’m not looking to earn more money and
profits. I only want to be happy, safe, and well.” 1
After saying that, he turned around and patted Zephir on the shoulder. “Have you told your family what kind of life
you want? Your family doesn’t know you, so how do you plan to define what you’re looking for in life?”
Yale then entered the homestay, leaving Zephir standing in the courtyard alone.
Zephir lowered his gaze and remained silent.
“Meow!” No one saw since when Kisses skittered up to his feet. It was now rubbing the back of his head against his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmankles, rolling on the ground, and pawing at the hem of his trousers over and over again.
Zephir frowned and was about to lift his foot and walk away when a voice came from behind him. “It wants you to
caress it.”
Ursule stepped into the courtyard with a glass of milk tea. Seeing that Kisses was rolling around at Zephir’s feet,
she could not help but burst into laughter. “Kisses!”
Hearing that someone was calling it, Kisses stopped rolling and stared over in the direction of the voice.
Ursule picked it up, hugged it in her arms, and glanced up at Zephir. “Don’t you like cats?”
Zephir looked at Kisses. “That’s not it…”
Ursule handed the cat to him. “Then why don’t you hug it? Cats rarely roll over and show strangers their stomachs.
If they’re doing so when they’re with you, it means they like you and trust you very much. So, wasn’t Kisses just
rolling around your feet and acting coquettishly to you?”
Zephir hesitated a little while Ursule shoved Kisses into his arms directly. “Just hold it. You’re such a mature man on
the outside, so how are you this fussy?”
He froze slightly, staring at the furry creature in his arms. He did not know how to react for a split second. ‘I’m a
fussy man?’
Just as he was in a trance, Kisses raised its head and licked his chin out of the blue.
