Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob
Chapter 229: The diligent maidservant vs. the playful young master (2)
Sitting in the carriage on the way back to the city, Yanxi held the thick notebook that Li Chongshou had left for her, and gently stroked the words on it. Her expression showed some reluctance, yet she was happy for such a rich harvest.
Su Qian didn't know what he was thinking and didn't say a word along the way.
They set out quite early, but the journey was quite long and the carriage was not going very fast. It was after noon when they just entered the city.
On the streets, vendors of all kinds are setting up their wares, and the most striking thing is the tempting aroma of food.
The vegetarian porridge they had in the morning was not filling enough for them, and now after being tempted by the smell, both of them felt their stomachs growling with hunger.
"Second Young Master, let's get off the car and buy some food to fill our stomachs." Yan Xi suggested.
"Okay."
Yan Xi and Su Qian both got off the carriage and wandered around the stalls and shops outside.
After walking a few steps, a familiar face came into Yan Xi's sight. She was delighted and pulled Su Qian's sleeve and walked over there.
"Auntie Sun, are you setting up a stall today?" Yan Xi greeted the owner of the bun shop familiarly.
The woman called Auntie Sun was busy at work. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw that it was Yan Xi. She immediately smiled and said:
"Yes. Miss Yanxi, the last time we met was more than a month ago. It was just a minor illness, but it has long been healed."
Aunt Sun is a widow who lives alone with her two daughters. Fortunately, she is a good cook and she manages to make ends meet.
Her first meeting with Yanxi was also accidental.
Auntie Sun spends at least half a day at her stall. She has two daughters, one eight and the other five years old. She is worried about leaving them at home, so she always brings her daughters with her.
The eldest daughter is sensible and will take care of her younger sister. Sometimes she feels sorry for her mother and comes forward to help when the business is busy.
The younger daughter was also very well-behaved. She held a meat bun stuffed by her mother and ate it quietly.
Business was also very good that time. The eldest daughter was helping out. The younger daughter choked while eating a bun, but they were all busy with business and no one noticed.
Fortunately, Yanxi happened to pass by, and she knew some medical skills, so she saved Aunt Sun’s little daughter in time.
Aunt Sun was also very scared and thanked Yan Xi profusely. She would give her delicious buns every time Yan Xi came.
Yanxi didn't like to eat and drink for free, and it happened that Aunt Sun's cooking skills were really good, so she would spend money to buy more and bring it back, and also help promote it to the maids and servants in the mansion.
With the give and take of each other, Yanxi and Aunt Sun naturally have a very good relationship now.
Yan Xi smiled and said, "Look, I forgot. Aunt Sun, what flavor of buns do you have now? Give us a few."
Then, she turned to Su Qian and said, "Second Young Master, if you don't have anything to eat, why not try this bun? Auntie Sun's cooking is very good. Even though it's cheap, it's one of the best in the capital. And today, I'll treat you!"
"Ah?" Su Qian moved his sleeves, which were slightly wrinkled, in a daze. He understood what she meant and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll just eat the buns."
"She took the initiative to treat me to steamed buns. Yanxi is very nice to me."
Seeing Yanxi turning around to talk to Aunt Sun again, Su Qian pinched his sleeves and gave a silly smile.
Yan Xi's mention of treating everyone was not a big deal.
A few buns didn't cost much money, and the "hush money" she had received from the Shangshu Mansion for her illicit relationship with Ji Youran was enough for her to have enough food and drink.
Besides, she could hire the maids and servants with whom she had a good relationship in the mansion, so it would naturally be no problem for her to hire Su Qian, with whom she had been getting along well for more than a month.
Only Su Qian couldn't help but think too much.
Aunt Sun quickly picked out a few good-looking buns, put them in an oil paper bag and handed them to Yanxi.
Yan Xi stuffed the bun into Su Qian's arms, then quickly took out a few copper coins of equal value to the buns and threw them on the table, then dragged Su Qian towards the carriage.
"Miss Yanxi, I won't take your money!"
Aunt Sun was shouting from behind, but the person had already run far away.
The carriage stopped in an alley with a very tall tree growing next to it.
Yanxi and Su Qian stood under the tree and shared the buns.
Su Qian picked up a plump and beautifully wrinkled bun, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Without warning, the scalding juice burst out, burning the mouth like a flame.
"Ugh." Su Qian cried out in pain.
Yanxi was also startled. Oh no, he forgot to remind him that Aunt Sun made soup dumplings, so he had to be careful when eating them.
In her haste and anxiety, she didn't care about anything else. She took out her handkerchief, wiped the juice from his lips, and carefully checked the condition of his mouth with concern.
Su Qian felt the touch on his face and couldn't help but lower his head, just in time to meet her gaze.
Those amber pupils carried the worry and concern of their owner, and seemed to be gleaming with water and full of affection in the sunlight.
Half of his neck turned red, and he felt uncontrollably joyful.
After eating the buns and getting on the carriage to continue heading to Beijinghou Mansion, Su Qian's thoughts never stopped.
"She clearly knew that Dr. Li was difficult to deal with, yet she took the initiative to ask my sister-in-law to come with me. This is unusual, isn't it?"
(Yan Xi: Of course I have to come along, I also represent part of Miss You Ran’s opinion. Coming along can prove that Miss You Ran is not deliberately making things difficult for Su Qian, and it can also reduce the risk of her revealing her true feelings.)
'Also, when Doctor Li wanted to make things difficult for her by asking for a one-month medicine boy, she took the initiative to step forward. Now that she has a pharmacy to treat her sister-in-law, she is so happy. Is she happy that she has completed her mission?'
(Yanxi: I received personal instruction from a famous teacher and also received a valuable notebook. Who wouldn’t be happy?)
"And just now, the soup only burned the tip of her tongue, why was she so worried and nervous? "
(Yan Xi: I took people to eat buns, but because I didn’t remind him in time, a young man who had been living a luxurious life since childhood got injured. I have my own responsibilities. How can I not worry about his condition?)
Su Qian quietly turned his head and looked at the woman beside him.
She is usually quiet and gentle, but she has so many mood changes. Could it be that...
'She is happy when I am happy and sad when I am sad. Maybe she likes me too.'
The guess popped up in his heart, and Su Qian quickly turned his head. His whole body was tense and he was in an extremely abnormal state.
He pursed his lips tightly and looked very serious, but other things ruined this feeling.
Su Qian's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a small blush appeared behind his inconspicuous ear. He looked extremely contradictory.
Wait, what did he just say, “also”, “like”.
In an instant, a flash of lightning seemed to pass before Su Qian's eyes, bright and dazzling, illuminating his confused self during this period of time.
