Episode Two

Lichen: Well, I also run my own business.

Yang Xi: What is kind of business? (smiling)

Lichen: it is both a coffee shop and a restaurant.

Shen Yi: Wow, Chen, can I come to your restaurant?

Lichen: Sure, why not? But...

Shen Yi: But what?

Lichen: No more secrets, okay (facing Yang Xi).

Yang Xi: Okay, no more secrets.

Lichen: You two. (facing Shen Yi and Shi)

Shen Yi: Okay (nod).

Shen Shi: Sure, bro.

Yang Xi: Meet you all tonight; I will send you the address.

Lichen: What about the freshmen?

Yang Xi: I already sent it to the group chat.

Lichen: Okay. No getting drunk.

Yang Xi: Yeah, a little tipsy does not mean drunk (evil smile).

Lichen: that is what they call being drunk. (looks at her)

Yang Xi: Fine. I will try not to get us drunk.

Shen Yi: Why not get drunk when the drinks are free?

Shen Shi: (hit his head) Stupid, we are driving.

Shen Yi: Ouch, do you want to make me dumb?

Shen Shi: No, I am trying to make you smart so you can stop being stupid.

Yang Xi: Okay, you two should stop fighting. Just because I am their boss does not mean I will not pay them for the drinks I purchased from them; they must account for me.

Shen Yi: Alright.

Yang Xi: Wait a minute, when did I say you were going with us? (turning to face Shen Yi)

Shen Yi: Why not? Am I not your babe, darling...

Yang Xi: Umm... let me think about it. No, you are not my babe, but rather my baby.

Shen Yi: Let me give you a kiss (attempting to kiss Xi).

Yang Xi: Okay, yi, you are leaving, and we are not going anywhere without you. Ahh, you are such a baby.

Shen Shi: Guys, I need to go now.

Yang Xi: Where are you heading?

Shen Shi: I need to go to the library and study with my friends.

Shen Yi: What about the girl I asked you about? I would like to find out if she has a boyfriend and ask her for her phone number.

Shen Shi: I do not think you two can be a thing.

Shen Yi: Why not?

Shen Shi: She will travel to the United States after the exam.

Shen Yi: Why?

Shen Shi: I am not sure that is what she said to us.

Shen Yi: I do not care; I still want her. (looking enraged)

Shen Shi: I will keep asking her for you, do not worry.

Shen Yi: Okay (nods).

Shen Shi: Okay, I need to leave now, bye bye (waving her hands).

Yang Xi: See you all at seven (shouting)

Shen Shi: Okay, bye.

Yang Xi: Let us go back to class.

We have a class this afternoon.

(They all attended classes.)

In a race field*

(Lee Liam is Lee Wu's older brother. He is on the field with his friends Kris Chan and Jeff Kin, working on a racing car.

Kris: Boss, we have been working on this bike since morning, and I am already tired.

Jeff: And I am starving, like a zombie about to suck blood.

Lee Liam: Come suck on my blood, then.

Jeff: (moving closer to Liam, who is walking like a zombie) Ahh ahh ahh...

Lee Liam: (picks up a hammer) Try sucking on me.

Jeff: (turning back to Kris) I do not want to suck on a devil, I do not want to be evil; I would rather suck on Kris' blood.

Kris: Or you are afraid of being hit with a hammer.

Jeff: Who would not be scared? He is a devil himself, what if he hits me with that?

Kris: No, he won't.

Lee Liam: Yes, I will. (Looking at the hammer in his hand, smiling evilly)

Kris: (glancing at him) He is evil.

Jeff: Your lovely brother is coming. (pointing to the direction)

Lee Wu: Hello brother Liam, brother Kris, brother Jeff.

Lee Liam: (stopping what he is doing) What is wrong, why are you here?

Lee Wu: I did not see you this morning before leaving for school, which is why I am here now.

Lee Liam: I thought I would pick you up from school today, so I came here early to finish up my work before coming to see you, birthday boy.

Lee Wu: I thought you forgot about my birthday.

Lee Liam: Why would I forget?

Kris: Why would he forget his beloved brother's birthday?

Hyeon: He is been so moody today cause he thinks you forgot his birthday.

Jeff: Why would your father forget about his lovely son's birthday?

Lee Liam: Okay, I am sorry for not greeting you this morning, but I promise to make it up to you.

Jeff: How?

Lee Liam: I am taking you out today, and you can invite whomever you want.

Lee Wu: Thank you, Brother.

Jeff: What time is it?

Lee Liam: Six, you all should be here. I will be waiting for you.

Jeff: sorry, he meant to say we will be waiting for you here.

Lee Wu: Okay, brother Liam, see you at six.

Lee Liam: Okay (nods).

Lee Wu: bye bye brother Liam.

(They all said goodbye to him, and he left.)

*At Seven p.m.*

(Shen Yi, Shen Shi, lichen, and the freshman students arrived at the club, all looking surprised.)

Shen Yi: Whoa, whoa! This club is for Yang Xi. I just can not believe it.

Shen Shi: This club is well-known on social media. It offers several VIP rooms, including one specifically for wealthy people. Someone even posted a picture of the place online. If you are feeling peckish, you can order whatever food and drink you like.

(The students are all taken aback by the topics of conversation among themselves.)

Jang Soo: Do you mean the club is owned by Senior Yang Xi?

Shen Yi: Whoops, we forgot there were freshman students here. Where is Yang Xi? (looking around).

Yang Xi: Here I am. (Coming from one of the rooms).

Shen Yi: what room is that?

Yang xi: there is no room there it is just a way to my office.

Shen Shi: Do you have an office in here?

Yang Xi: Yes, my office and my manager's office.

Lichen: Do you mean you only use your savings here?

Yang Xi: No, not just that. When I first started my mechanic shop three years ago, before starting this club, I made a lot of money and got a loan from a bank, which was all paid off last year, which is why I was able to stop working as a part-time worker six months ago.

Shen Shi: Whoa, babe, you are so tough.

Yang Xi: I am just trying my best. None of my parents should be aware of this.

Shen Yi: Sure thing.

Shen Shi: I gave you my word.

Lichen: I promise.

Yang Xi: Juniors, you are not left out.

(They all said "promise")

Yang Xi: Please proceed to the room I have reserved for you.

Shen Yi: Have you reserved a room for us?

Yang xi: Why not? This is the first time I have invited you here; some of you have been here before, but this is my treat.

(They all stand up and follow her into the ViP room.)

Lichen: I think this is too much of a treat, babe. This room is too much for us.

We might be a wealthy child, but that does not mean you should waste your money on us.

Yang xi: Do not worry, you are all my guests and the most important people in my life, so I do not mind spending money on you, and I have always reserved this for myself, not for my customers.

Lichen: Okay, if you say so.

Yang xi: laid-back and chill. (She took out her phone, dialed the manager's number, hung up before he could answer, and then texted him to send one of the waiters to serve them.)

Shen Yi: Okay, let us order. (He stretches his hand to press the blue button beside the sofa to order.)

Yang Xi: You do not need to press that button; one of the employees will come and serve us.

Lichen: What button are these? (pointing to the blue and red buttons beside the couch)

(One of the waiters walks in)

Jin Sin: Hello, Boss.

Yang Xi: Hi, Sin. These are my friends, and you can take their orders.

Shin Yi: Hello, handsome Please serve our orders and take good care of us.

Jin Sin: Sure, sir, tick this. (give him the menu so they can select what they want to order)

Shen Shi: Oh, we are ticking...

Jin Sin: Yes, Ma'am.

(The manager rushes in)

Manager Kim: Boss, one of our customers has arrived and asked to meet with you.
