ATBIRFBB Chapter 196

Luo Xiao rushed straight toward Xiao Rui, who accidentally got bumped and both fell backward.

In the end, Xiao Rui spotted a nearby rack with his quick eyes and immediately grabbed it. After steadying himself, he quickly caught hold of Luo Xiao’s collar, preventing them from falling completely.

However, before they could regain their balance, a series of crashing sounds filled the air as more plates fell to the ground.

Soon, the floor was littered with broken pieces, and porcelain bowls shattered everywhere.

Xiao Rui and Luo Xiao were stunned, staring blankly at the mess on the ground. Their eyes met, both reflecting disbelief.

The boss walked in and saw this scene.

Then a furious roar erupted: “Luo Xiao!”

This shout was filled with enough strength, and Xiao Rui saw Luo Xiao quickly approach, looking humble.

He stood beside the boss, trying to explain, pointing angrily at Xiao Rui. “Boss, it’s him! He did this!”

Then he quickly shifted his tone, “Boss, you really can’t blame me. I only broke this one. The others weren’t me!”

But the boss wasn’t convinced, his gloomy expression was intimidating.

He glanced back and forth between Xiao Rui and Luo Xiao before making a decision.

“You two can choose. Pay for the damages or stay here and wash dishes for half a year.”

Luo Xiao was on the verge of tears. He was supposed to clear his debts in a couple of days, but now he faced an additional six months of work. He was really wronged.

Naturally, he chose the second option. He couldn’t even think about the first one whic was to pay.

Because he had no money!

The phrase “no money” carried so much bitterness.

Xiao Rui hadn’t expected this result. It all happened too quickly for anyone to react.

“Pay.”

“Washing dishes.”

The two spoke simultaneously, and the boss’s expression lightened a lot upon hearing “pay”.

Previously, Luo Xiao had been a nuisance, loitering without a cent to his name. If it weren’t for his occasional hard work and owing the boss a bowl of noodles, the boss would have kicked him out long ago.

After Xiao Rui paid, he stepped outside, and Luo Xiao followed him out and stretched.

“Finally found a fool to help me pay back.”

Fool Xiao Rui: …

“You probably forgot about me.”

Luo Xiao shrugged it off, “You’re not like that useless bastard Li Yan. You wouldn’t mind, right?”

Saying this, he looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Rui just scoffed and ignored him.

After walking a few steps, Luo Xiao caught up.

He deliberately kept a distance of one step from Xiao Rui.

“Hey, tell me what you need from me.”

He poked his head into Xiao Rui’s line of sight.

“What can you help me with?”

Luo Xiao said, “Just don’t ask me to make money.”

Right now, any money he had would just get taken away. He didn’t understand why Li Yan was such a bastard.

Thinking this, he quietly stepped back a few more paces from Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui looked confused and turned to him, “Why are you staying so far away?”

Luo Xiao acted mysteriously, wearing a look that said he saw through things but wouldn’t say.
