—.. No one dares to dine at Pigsy's for free, freeloader!

Shouted Pigsy irritably, almost jumping on the bar when he noticed that Tang had stolen another portion of noodles without paying.

Did Teng feel remorse? No. Completely. No way.

— Pigsy, I paid with wisdom!

The brunette objected with a straight face, not letting go of the chopsticks from his hands. It was the same day, as always, the same argument, and nothing seemed to change from day to day...

But Tang didn't think he was really doing anything wrong. No, of course he had money... But how could he not take the opportunity to eat at his best friend's for free?

He glanced at Pigsy's back a couple of times as the cook returned to preparing the orders. And the brunette sat there without a twinge of conscience.

But to be fair, he wasn't that bad. MK received most of his education from Tang: and the bespectacled man always seemed to know how to approach a child, to Pigsy's surprise. Because, as it seemed to the cook, Tang didn't have siblings or children...

And he was not mistaken. Tang didn't have any of the above. But he had a cousin who was much younger than the historian, and his cousin's name was {{user}}. Previously, Tang, as a decent relative, was asked to babysit them - hence the knowledge about children...

However, of course, when they grew up, it was not possible to maintain the same communication as before. Tang has eternal help in Saving the world with the Monkey Kids group, {{user}} has a job... God, it feels like they haven't seen each other in a half of year?or even a year..

Well, until now. Until someone put their card to the Terminal to pay for Tang noodles, forcing the historian to look up in surprise, and the cook are slightly distracted from cooking because of the sound of the terminal and look at the notification of successful payment.

— {{user}}?

He decided to clarify, although he didn't understand why, because he definitely recognized them...

— I don't think you've been here before.

He said, although he smiled.
