Limited Time Girl's
Chapter 7's

The travel time from school turned out to only take a few minutes to reach their workplace. A bear-themed cafe whose even name is ‘Bear’s Land’. The entire cafe is painted light brown, there are several colorful teddy bears in the storefront that displays several types of cakes.

When entering, the atmosphere of the cafe is still quiet, Xujia said the cafe is usually open at 3 to 9, because it is still 1 o'clock so obviously the cafe is still quiet. Inside is also dominant brown color, with several chairs filled by teddy bears as tall as adults. ‘it looks like this cafe is commonly visited by single people huh?’ thought

Xujia took me, Fanxing and Yuuta to the cafe owner, while Ryuji, Zhao Lei and Xia Zhiguang changed their clothes and got ready to open a shop.

Tok tok tok tok

Xujia knocked on the door, after hearing someone let us in, Xujia opened the door and the four of us entered into the 4x6 room, “tumben you are here ge, oh yes there are my friends who want to work here, we happen to need a maid again because lately the cafe is always crowded” he said

Me, Fanxing and Yuuta were surprised to see the young man in front of us, “Senior Ikeoka? So you're the owner of this cafe” asked Fanxing

Ikeoka, “ya arguably so, actually this is a family business... so ...who wants to work it you three?”

“no seniors, just me... Fanxing and Yuuta accompanied me here because they wanted to know this place,”.

Fanxing and Yuuta nodded, “I'm worried that the boys took Risa to a strange place, but if there is a senior here I don't think it matters, yakan Fanxing?”

“from the beginning I agreed-agree only as long as Risa is not too tired, but because there is Senior Ikeoka here so I can be calmer again” replied Fanxing reply to Yuuta

“heh so you don't believe us?! We sincerely want to help Risa, then once again I reiterate, we were never involved in the bullying case that happened to her” refuted Xujia.

“you are not involved but also do not defend it, yes what is the difference between you and the person who bullied Risa huh?” Fanxing and Yuuta answered simultaneously.

“aim why you guys are arguing again, so deal yes I will work here.please help senior Ikeoka”.

“well welcome to join Risa, please help also hope you feel at home here..please be trusted by both ‘bodyguard’mu” said Ikeoka with a sweet smile.

I chuckled, right Ikeoka said, Fanxing and Yuuta do look very protective to me. It would probably be a lot of fun if Jun and Yuuki were like this as well. Hem yes I will try to make it happen anyway, well if calculated means now there are seven of my idols who love me.

At 7 pm I just arrived home, the state of the house looks warm, from the inside I heard the sound of laughter. ‘it looks like there are guests huh?’ my thinking. Because there's a car parked in the yard that I know if it's not one of Ueda's cars.

Chequelek

I opened the door, without seeing who was inside I walked straight to the stairs. “where did you come home this time?”

My steps stopped when Jun's voice reached my ears, I actually wanted to ignore it but it seemed that I could not and should not or the consequences would be even more hated by him. “i was looking for a new job and home, satisfied you?” I said honestly, there is no point in lying.

“Risa why do you work?”

‘hah this is Zhan ge?!’ I didn't care who came with the reflexes of turning back. And it was true that there was Xiao Zhan there, oh yes Yibo as well.

‘aijang... ehh but it seems like this is an opportunity for me, who knows I can attract the attention of their sympathy here’

“emm a-I just want to add experience only Zhan ge, and I think working is a good choice, besides being able to add savings I can also know new people”. Jun, Yibo, and Xiao Zhan frowned somewhat. ‘loh? their response was the same as Alex's father and brother, why yes?’

“isn't the money you gave me less? Seboros what is your lifestyle?,” said Jun Ketus

“bu-not that, do you think until when the money will last? Although Mr. Ueda gave me a lot of money, if I just depended on it without understanding how to make money then it would run out in time, and how do you think I can live later?”

The atmosphere in this guest room instantly became silent, I felt Jun and Yibo looking at me with a look of disbelief. A second later there was a hand that stroked my head, I looked up, the hand turned out to belong to Xiao Zhan. ‘yaah there is no way Jun, Yibo, or Yuuki –who has not even returned– will stroke my head’

Xiao Zhan smiled gently, but I wanted to know Yibo's expression. I glanced at him, and miraculously there was no jealous look from him. Just like Xiao Zhan, Yibo also smiled at me. ‘aduh duh why suddenly Yibo so friendly looks so?’

“Risa!” Xiao Zhan shrieked, how obvious from his tone if he was worried

I feel fishy smelling liquid in my hand, ‘ai why should now’ . “Risa are you okay?!” this was not Xiao Zhan's voice but Yibo who had been in front of me right next to Xiao Zhan, implied the worry within his gaze.

I just smiled and replied to “a-I'm good Senior Wang, uhuk.. but sorry, I think I should go to the room, excuse me. uhuk uhuk” ‘shall cough won't stop, I'm sorry, I have to quickly take medicine’

Arriving in the room I hurried to pick up the medicine that was in the nightstand drawer. After drinking it a cough that was previously very severe slowly began to subside until it finally stopped. I sighed for a moment and decided to change clothes, because the uniform I was wearing was full of blood.

Tok tok tok tok

“Risa.. Are you sure it's okay? can we come in?”

‘Yibo?! eh wait –what he said earlier ?‘we’ ?’

I rushed the medicine back into the drawer and walked open the door,

“astaga Risa your face is pale once!” shortly after opening the door I immediately got a screech that came from Yibo.

“I'm fine Senior, no need to worry” said me softly, the effect of coughing up blood earlier.

Xiao Zhan suddenly pulled my hand and led me to the bed and sat me there, after which he knelt right in front of me as well as Yibo. Obviously if the two of them are worried. ‘ish why they are so attentive like this, although this is a good start but for now I prefer to be ignored!’

“Risa... honestly what happened to you? Are you sick right now?” xiao Zhan said, his eyes looking straight at me.

I move restlessly, ‘what should I say?or not ya’ after thinking long enough I also choose to explain everything, starting from the reason why I can fall from the roof and about the reason why I work. But I didn't tell you about the illness I was suffering from, I just said if my physique was weak and things like this I have experienced often. Yibo and Xiao Zhan looked surprised, for some reason.

“why did you never tell us?” asked Xiao Zhan

I smiled grimly, ‘on whom ‘Risa’ can tell about this? Her family does not care, friends only have Fanxing and Yuuta, even Aunt Yui can not because ‘Risa’ is afraid to make her worry’

“according to Zhan ge I can tell who? I've often wanted to tell Zhan ge but Senior Wang always takes Zhan ge away before I can tell you, eeh ta-but I don't blame Senior Wang ha-just that's reality.”.

I looked down while squeezing my fingers, somehow it felt like I was dealing with Alex's father and brother who had just caught me coming home late with no news.

The atmosphere in my room was quiet for a while. Suddenly an outstretched hand stroked my head, still nervous I did not dare to look to see who the owner of the hand was.

“forgive me, I did not expect your reason to be so spoiled on Zhan ge because of such a thing..” heard Yibo's voice I reflexively looked up at him. ‘is that already made Yibo believe me? ‘Risa’ ‘Risa’ should probably be compared to being spoiled better you just show your distress during this’

Friendly smile on Yibo's face, Xiao Zhan was the same, he seemed relieved that Yibo no longer showed hostility at ‘Risa’. “oh ya stop calling me ‘Senior Wang’... from now on call me with ‘Ge’ okay? ‘Yibo Ge’” Advanced Yibo.

“really?! Alright thank you Yibo ge” reply me cheerfully.

“like this is good, Yibo why haven't you been like this before? I told you this Risa has no intention of stealing myself from you... right Risa?”.

I chuckled at Xiao Zhan's remark, ‘aku’ did not intend to seize him from Yibo, but obviously ‘Risa’ had that intention. Because there was no way I could talk like that so I just nodded and smiled sweetly to reply to the words of the young man who had a mole under those lips.

After telling me all the things I experienced and familiarizing myself with Yibo. Xiao Zhan and Yibo went home, Jun and Yuuki were nowhere to be seen during my time together with Yibo and Xiao Zhan.
