It was past dinner time and only two tables were occupied in the family restaurant when they came in. The ringing bell on the door attracted the cashier's attention who snapped her gaze up from her phone. Her eyes instantly lit up when she caught sight of He Juan. "Welcome to Happy Hour Diner! Table for one…" her eyes finally dropped to Mu Yuze, who was dwarfed by He Juan's jacket with bruises all over his face, and her smile faltered. "You are…"
Self-conscious, Mu Yuze hung his head low and subtly retreated to the door, only to be blocked by He Juan's broad palm on the back of his head. Sensing the boy going rigid in surprise, He Juan took back his hand and offered a smile to the cashier girl. "Don't worry, he's with me."
"O–Oh!" The girl blinked a few times, her cheeks flushing red. "I… I apologize, Sir!"
