Chapter 886: 886

“So this is the alley behind the restaurant? Although it is the back alley, it is quite clean,” Sun Ming observed . Usually, the back alley of a restaurant would be very dirty, but Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was an exception .

“We are only a wall away from there,” Yuan Zhou pointed at the skyscrapers not far away .

This gave off a feeling of separation between the rich and the poor . On the other side of the wall were numerous luxurious office buildings while at this side, the tallest buildings were the two-floor buildings . By comparison, this area did look poor .

Of course, the poor was only true before Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was opened .

“Yeah, it’s indeed near . Eh, isn’t this Broth? So this is where you stay during day time?” Sun Ming greeted passionately the moment he saw Broth .

“Woof,” Broth barked, seemingly greeting him .

“Haha, Broth is a good boy . I’ll bring you some ham sausages next time,” Sun Ming said happily .

Yuan Zhou glanced at Broth and Sun Ming before berating inwardly, “This fellow never offers me any greetings but is greeting Sun Ming instead . I have been feeding him for nothing . ”

“Let’s go,” Yuan Zhou said as he stopped looking and walked inside .

“Hoho, this is my first time here in your kitchen,” Sun Ming said as he looked around . Of course, he kept his hands to himself and wasn’t touching anything . ”

“Of course,” Yuan Zhou said .

“This way,” Yuan Zhou said as he pointed at the staircase . The kitchen was still very bright since he had not switched off the light earlier .

“If you can show this place to a girl, she will definitely be very excited . Unfortunately, you only have a coarse man like me to show around,” Sun Ming lamented .

“Piss off,” Yuan Zhou said .

“Then again, your bedroom must be the same as your person, completely devoid of anything,” Sun Ming said while climbing the stairs .

It was a short climb and the two took a short time to reach upstairs . Although Sun Ming never stopped talking, he had been behaving himself and hadn’t touched anything . He had remained behind Yuan Zhou all the time .

“This is my room . I don’t lack anything,” Yuan Zhou said seriously after he opened the door of his bedroom .

“I can’t disobey my mom’s orders . I will take a look for myself,” Sun Ming shrugged and rubbed his chubby belly .

“By the way, I thought you were riding a bicycle nowadays?” Yuan Zhou suddenly recalled that Sun Ming had been learning to ride a bicycle a few months ago .

At that time, Sun Ming stubbornly insisted to start riding a bicycle in order to court his goddess . He even planned to sell his store away and stake it all in bicycle riding . But without Sun Ming telling, Yuan Zhou was already aware that there must have been a huge argument in Sun Ming’s home due to this .

But it would seem like they were no longer arguing .

“Cough, cough,” Sun Ming pretended to cough to avoid answering .

“You must have given up again,” Yuan Zhou said .

“If you are a brother, don’t ask . We should never look in the past,” Sun Ming said as he urged Yuan Zhou to enter .

Yuan Zhou immediately understood . There were times when being stubborn might not make something happen . Sun Ming was much lacking in patience than he had expected .

“Come in,” Yuan Zhou opened the door . Sun Ming immediately glanced inside .

Yuan Zhou’s room was different than his . Within it was a single bed . The bed was very clean and neat . Beside the bed was a cabinet with a row of books . One of the books was left open to the side . There was also a brand new computer on it, with a chair beside the cabinet . It would seem like this was both a working space and a reading room .

Opposite the bed was a wardrobe with its wood-colored door was tightly shut . Beside the wardrobe was a long shelf where another row of books laid . There were other things on the shelf as well, with a case at the middle of the shelf being rather conspicuous as it looked like there was something valuable within .

The window directly facing the door was opened, with a cool breeze blowing inside the room . The air within the room was fresh yet not cold . The curtains were cyan in color, giving off a fresh and cool feeling .

The entire room looked simple yet neat, much cleaner than before the restaurant opened . This was Yuan Zhou’s room .

“Not bad, my man . You are keeping your room neat all by yourself,” Sun Ming remarked as he entered . “As the saying goes, if a bedroom is neat and without any smell, there are only two possibilities . ”

Yuan Zhou remained in silence, as if he hadn’t heard anything . Sun Ming felt odd as usually, people would further question when he said something like that .

“Are you not curious as to what I’m talking about?” Sun Ming asked .

“No, and I don’t want to know,” Yuan Zhou rejected, causing Sun Ming to choke on his own words .

After being snubbed, Sun Ming started sizing up the room in an attempt to shift the topic . Ultimately, the atmosphere in the room turned awkward, forcing Sun Ming to return to his task at hand .

“Your room doesn’t feel cold or lacking anything . You might as well tell me directly what you need,” Sun Ming asked with a frown after he toured the room .

“It’s fine . Thank your mother for me,” Yuan Zhou said after a pause .

“If you don’t tell me anything, my mom will think I’m lying and only pretended I was here,” Sun Ming grumbled .

“I really don’t need anything,” Yuan Zhou replied after thinking about it . He really needed nothing .

“What is this?” Sun Ming asked curiously after his gaze landed on the case again .

After all, the case was too conspicuous in this tiny room .

“A case with a pair of boxing gloves within,” Yuan Zhou slapped Sun Ming’s hand that was reaching for the case before explaining .

“Boxing gloves? You’re boxing as well?” Sun Ming asked curiously .

“No,” Yuan Zhou replied .

“Why did you bought such an expensive pair of gloves then? For collecting? Which popular boxer’s gloves is this?” Sun Ming asked .

“I didn’t buy it,” Yuan Zhou said .

“There are no signatures on it . I wonder which boxer it belonged to . It is not cheap, a couple hundred dollars in USD,” Sun Ming said after looking at the symbol on the case . It was unknown how he knew so much .

“Yes . It is very expensive and it belonged to a very good boxer,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

While he spoke, Yuan Zhou recalled the boxer who always came to the restaurant badly bruised . Each time he came, he would tell Yuan Zhou the result of his fight .

Subsequently, the boxer stopped coming . Yuan Zhou still remembered that this pair of gloves was bought by the boxer the day before he came to the restaurant .

This pair of gloves was the one he used for the match that night . Of course, when he arrived, he was bruised all over as usual . As usual, Yuan Zhou gave him a towel to wipe himself clean . On that day, the boxer was in a very good mood, with a smile covering his bruised face .

“Wipe yourself, don’t drip any blood in my bowl,” Yuan Zhou said .

“Heh heh, Boss Yuan, I won,” said the boxer with a smile as he took the towel .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Look at this pair of gloves . Isn’t it pretty,” the boxer showed off as he waved the gloves before Yuan Zhou .

“Not bad, it’s new,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“Of course . I bought it after saving for two months . It’s very good, something I got someone to buy for me overseas . You can’t even find it here,” said the boxer .

“Yo, the gloves look nice,” said Ling Hong as he stretched his neck to have a look .

“Of course, it’s very expensive,” the boxer nodded .

“Boss Yuan, can I wipe it with the towel,” asked the boxer in hesitation . He was not wiping his blood with it .

“Sure . ” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“Thank you,” the boxer thanked and started seriously wiping his gloves with a solemn expression .

Since then, each time the boxer came, he would first wipe his gloves before taking care of his wounds . For him, this pair of gloves was extremely important .

It was his tool of making a living . Now, Yuan Zhou had the gloves for safekeeping, waiting for the boxer to come and retrieve it .

Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had researched on the Internet on the proper method of taking care of boxing gloves . He had also asked others about it . Therefore, if one opened the case, one would be able to see a perfectly new pair of gloves .
