Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

After a full day of visiting, Aslan was basically already familiar with the environment of Mary's Bakery.

A bakery on the verge of closure, plus five overly optimistic members.

Owner: Mrs. Mary

Baker: Esmeralda

Senior Staff: Tom and Jerry

Humble Newcomer: Aslan ......

In the evening, the starry sky is clear and quiet.

It was decided to host a sumptuous dinner to welcome Aslan to join us, and on a rare occasion Mrs. Mary's generosity, Esmeralda went to the kitchen to fry fragrant eggs, and Brother Tom went to the pantry to bring out precious sausages and bacon as the signature dish of the dinner.

Meat was now very rare and expensive, and Mrs. Mary was able to entertain Aslan with some of her treasures, who had a much better opinion of the old witch, and felt that she really welcomed him.

On the dining table, the lighting is soft.

Everyone sat around the wooden table, with happy smiles on their faces, enjoying a rare meal.

Aslan was the only one who sat alone, not touching the dishes.

He stiffly looked up at the omelette, sausage, and bacon on Mrs. Mary's plate, and then slowly looked down at the lonely half of the black charcoal-like crumbs of bread and ...... lying on his plate A glass of boiled water!

"You... Isn't it welcoming me? Why do you eat meat and drink wine, while I only have bread and boiling water?!! Aslan's face was as dead as ashes, and he squeezed out an angry question from between his teeth.

"How much work to do, how much to eat, this is my rule!"

Mrs. Mary took a bite of the fat oily sausage, glanced at Aslan lightly, and said calmly: "You just came here today, you don't work, of course you don't have meat to eat, and being able to give you half a piece of bread without making you hungry is already my greatest gift to you." ”

If you don't take such a bully, I want to eat meat too!

Aslan stared at the meat on other people's plates, greedy, and pleaded pitifully: "Actually, I am a newcomer with great potential, although I didn't work today, but I will work hard to make up for it in the future, or... You give me some meat to eat, and I'll have a slice... One slice is fine. ”

Disregard! Disregard!

Mrs. Mary looked so cold that she didn't even bother to look at him.

Tom squeezed a slice of crystal clear bacon meat, put it in front of Aslan's eyes and shook it slowly, then stuffed the bacon into his mouth and laughed proudly.

"You deserve it! Angry you, angry you, angry you! ”

Ever since he was ridiculed by Aslan for being short, he has been very vindictive and called Aslan a dwarf, this time he has seized the opportunity to retaliate, and he looks extremely arrogant, and has been squeezing his eyebrows at Aslan again, and using a powerful weapon-meat, to constantly seduce him.

"Little Slut ......"

Aslan gritted his teeth and cursed Tom, and then set his eyes on Jerry, who seemed to be more honest, with a look of anticipation on his face, and kept glaring at the latter.

"Huh?"

Jerry felt something like that, raised his head and glanced at Aslan with a flattering face, and then immediately lowered his head, pretending not to see him, and continued to eat meat in silence.

Aslan spat out blood, and could only put his last hope on Esmeralda beside him, and looked at the girl with pitiful eyes......

"Otherwise, I'll give you half of it."

Esmeralda relented, pursed her lips, and divided half of the food on her plate and handed it to Aslan.

"Oh yes! Esmeralda, you're so nice~"

Aslan jumped for joy, feeling that Esmeralda was really her goddess of luck, and reached out to take the meat he coveted.

At this moment, Mrs. Mary's indisobedient command sounded.

"Ace! You are not allowed to give him food! ”

"Oh......"

Hearing this, the girl took back all the meat that had just been put on Aslan's plate.

"Old! Witch! Old woman! The flesh flew to his mouth, and Aslan cursed the evil Mrs. Mary in his heart, and drew countless circles on her.

In the end, Aslan could only watch with envy as others ate meat, and nibble on this crumbly bread that was harder than bones......

"Wow! It's so hard, but what's the mess in it, weeds or sand? It's unpalatable! "He has a straight toothache and complains, but for the sake of his constant rumbling stomach, he has to bite hard!

Time flew by, and a dinner party to welcome Aslan came to an end.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, leaving Aslan alone to clean up the dishes.

"Damn old witch, you know how to exploit honest people like me! I curse you for dying of acute gastroenteritis tonight, and you will have sudden death from high blood pressure in the future, and one person eats so much meat, what's wrong with sharing me with a bite? ****”

Not only did Aslan not eat meat, but he was also instructed by Mrs. Mary to stay and clean, so he was strongly resentful, and cursed his boss while cleaning.

Whether in a previous life or a different world, the boss is really not a good person!

Wage earners can only cry silently......

"Well, it's too clean."

Aslan stared at everyone's smooth and jade-like plates, very speechless, thinking about licking the meat scraps on the plate, but he didn't even have the grease left, and he didn't even feel like he had to brush it.

He casually put the plate under the faucet and flushed it, then picked up the rag and wiped it on the dining table, even if it was perfunctory, it was not very dirty anyway.

When the cleaning was finished, it was already late at night, and he was a little sleepy, so he turned off the light and door in the living room, and turned around and walked towards his room......

The backyard of the bakery is quite spacious, with a lot of spare rooms, and there is no need for him to be crammed with Tom Jerry like he did in the school dormitory, but has a separate room.

However, the thing that made him happiest was not having a single room, but ...... Esmeralda lived next door to him, and the two of them lived right next to each other.

As soon as he thought of this, Aslan's resentment for the whole day suddenly disappeared, and his heart was happy.

He pushed open the door and entered, and was surprised to find that the light was on, and a plate covered with an iron lid lay quietly on the bed.

"What's that?"

Aslan was stunned, his heart was full of doubts, and he walked over quickly, came to the bedboard, and reached out to remove the spherical iron lid on the plate.

In the next moment, the contents of the plate were presented in front of him.

A golden fried egg, two slices of crystal clear bacon, and a fat sausage, the rich aroma of meat came to his face, and he swallowed violently!

But at this moment, Aslan didn't rush up to stuff these delicacies into his mouth for the first time, but stayed motionless as if he was petrified.

His eyes were all drawn to a small piece of paper lying on the plate, as if he was strongly attracted by a magnet, and he was deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate himself!

The piece of paper reads, "Welcome, Aslan! ”

There was a faint floral scent on the neat scraps of paper, which he remembered the last time he was on the verge of death, and he would never forget it.

It's the taste of Esmeralda, and she sent it all!

Aslan's eyes gradually moistened, and since the death of his parents, he felt as if he had been abandoned by God, and he felt the pain and loneliness of orphans.

When it's cold, no one will remind him to wear more clothes, when he is hungry, no one will cook for him, and when he is sick, no one will hold his hand and take care of him.

No one will care if they skip class and go online and their grades drop.

The most painful thing is that when he returns home happily on the weekend, he is greeted only by an empty house, a dead silence, and the silence is crazy.

Over the years, every Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year and other reunion festivals, he can only immerse himself in the world of novels and games to numb himself, and smile all day long, so that he can gradually forget the pain and accept the reality of a person!

But at this moment, he felt a long-lost warmth, enough to dispel all the strangeness and apprehension of coming to another world.

Aslan wiped her tears and looked down at the sumptuous food in front of her, her mouth tightened, stunned......

"Thank you, Esmeralda!"
