Run Away From Home (Part 1)

The moment Su Mianmian closed the door of her room, the fortitude that she had been holding on her face caved in.

She fell onto the carpet and held her knees, looking like a helpless child.

How can this happen

She felt that fate had played a joke on her. She was in fact able to leave the house very soon.

But she fell into another pit.

It didn’t matter if this person was as terrible as what Bai Meifeng said. The most important thing was that she didn’t want to marry at all!

She couldn’t let her life become more tragic!

It was just another half a year, and now she had to leave this hateful house!

Right now!

...

“Why are you here so early?” The boss, who was wearing his pajamas, looked at the gloomy weather outside and said with a yawn, “No, isn’t today your off day?”

Su Mianmian left home with just a backpack. Inside was the money that she had saved over the years.

She had wanted to leave the city, but her miserable bank account probably couldn’t last her for more than a few days.

After some thought, she finally came to the cake shop where she worked part-time.

Su Mianmian said fawningly, “Uncle, you’re a good man. Could you advance my salary?”

“Uncle? I’m only twenty-three this year.” The boss poured himself a glass of water unhappily. After drinking half a glass, he felt more sober and continued, “How many times have I told you? Call me brother.”

The boss’s face was full of heavy stubbles. Saying that he was thirty-two was already an understatement, and he actually said he was twenty-three...

Which twenty-three-year-old can have the face of a forty-something

Only a person without much principles could call him brother. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

“I can even call you little brother if you advance my salary.” Well, Su Mianmian had long abandoned her principles.

“You’re getting bolder huh? You even dare to take advantage of me now.” The boss looked at Su Mianmian and finally noticed something amiss.

He asked, “What are you doing with your backpack? Don’t tell me you’re running away from home?”

Su Mianmian slightly trembled inside and forced a smile, “How can that be...”

The boss stared at her and said, “It looks like it to me. Su Mianmian, please don’t play run away from home. I can’t take in underaged girls here. I was already despised by my family by opening this shop. If I still take in an underaged girl, my mom will come and close down my shop anytime.”

“Boss... I’m already an adult.” Su Mianmian said weakly. She felt very helpless having a young-looking face.

But the boss refused to listen to her.

“You don’t look like an adult at all, please don’t kill this dream of mine!”

The boss was nice, other than the fact that he looked old and liked to crack lame jokes.

“You don’t have to worry about me, I just want to advance my salary.” Su Mianmian said.

“First you have to tell me what you’re gonna do. You have to say it out loud if you have any difficulties. You’re still young and there’s definitely a solution.”

“...” Su Mianmian said, “I only need money. Can you help me?”

“Oh, we’ll talk about this later.” The boss wiped his face and said, “How about this? I bet you haven’t eaten anything. I’ll cook some noodles for you.”

Su Mianmian was inevitably a little disappointed when she saw that the boss did not intend to advance her salary, but when she heard that he wanted to cook something for her to eat, she suddenly felt hungry.

She hadn’t eaten anything since last night, worrying about different things.

She was still young after all. Although she could show an indifferent look in front of Bai Meifeng, she was still very scared and worried deep down inside.

“Boss, can I use your computer?” Su Mianmian asked.

“Yes, but you can’t open my files.”

“Got it. Aren’t they just some porn movies?” Su Mianmian replied.

“You actually peeked?” the boss shouted in shock.

Su Mianmian looked at the boss who had a heavily stubbled face and wore pink laced apron. Erm, she felt a little full.

She turned her head to the side in agony and didn’t want to look anymore.

“Do I need to peek? I can easily guess.”

“Are kids these days so unlikeable? Su Mianmian, you’re lucky that you have a good-looking face, or I wouldn’t have recruited you...” The boss mumbled as he walked back to continue cooking the noodles.

Su Mianmian smiled. She knew that the boss was just saying that with tongue in cheek.

Her boss knew a little about her family situation and had helped a lot for the past two years. If it were not for the job opportunity given by the boss, Su Mianmian didn’t know if she could have survived.

Although her family members weren’t kind to her, she felt the warmth and kindness from many other people.

She thought that maybe the boss was right: there was nothing that couldn’t be solved.

Fight on, Su Mianmian!
