In addition to the high-end department stores that are lined up one after another, there are also many interesting small shops hidden in the alleys of Paris.

Stylish coffee shops, niche boutiques with unique designs, and grocery stores filled with cute little items. Perhaps these things don’t have glamorous brand names, but they all have unique charms.

Jiang Ruoli pulled Shen Zhiyan and turned to walk into a two-story grocery store.

Straw bags, canvas bags, crochet sweaters with exaggerated designs, hats with feathers, various vintage rings, and even ancient bamboo lamps from China.

For women, this is a paradise for killing time.

For a man...the sofa is quite soft.

Daming seemed to be sitting on the sofa, but his sharp eyes were roaming around the store. When he was out, he had to ensure the safety of his employer.

Pei Zigui's eyes were always on Jiang Ruoli. He watched all kinds of cute expressions appear on her fair and pretty face, and the corners of her mouth continued to rise.

In order to keep a low profile, they did not clear the place, so occasionally there would still be a few customers coming into the store.

As the wooden door opened, the bell rang, bringing a sweet fragrance into the air.

Jiang Ruoli turned his head to look to the side and a little white girl came into his sight.

The little girl was holding a packaged crepe in her hand. It looked like banana chocolate flavor, with a circle of sweet cream sprayed on it. It looked quite tempting.

The little girl came with her mother. While her mother was shopping, she followed her and concentrated on eating crepes. The corners of her mouth were covered with cream and chocolate sauce, like a dirty little doll.

Shen Zhiyan noticed that Jiang Ruoli had been staring at the little girl for a long time without moving, so she shook her arm and asked, "Lili, what's wrong?"

Having known each other since childhood, she naturally knew what kind of person Jiang Ruoli was.

"After shopping here, let's go buy some crepes? I remember there's a very famous old shop on this street. But you have to wait in line for a while, and they don't take reservations."

Jiang Ruoli naturally nodded and agreed.

“It would be even better with a glass of cider from Brittany.”

"No need to drink the cider, I can buy you some crepes."

The person who said this was not Shen Zhiyan, but Pei Zigui.

He had already seen Jiang Ruoli staring at the crepe in the little girl's hand, almost drooling.

Just now in the VIP room of the shopping mall, although there were many free drinks, desserts and snacks provided, Jiang Ruoli's eyes were all on the clothes and bags, and he only drank a glass of lemonade.

"Banana chocolate flavor?"

Jiang Ruoli was delighted. If Pei Zigui went to queue up, she could eat the delicious crepes directly after she finished shopping.

"Yeah, I heard that ham, mushroom and cheese flavored crepes are pretty good too, see if you can find any. If not, just buy something salty."

One sweet and one salty, just right, she and Yanyan shared it.

The only regret was that there was no cider to drink.

"Can't you really buy me a cider? You're the best."

The spoiled boy used his trick of acting like a spoiled child in an attempt to influence Pei Zigui.

But Pei Zigui didn't say yes or no, he just pinched the woman's nose and smiled softly, "Be good and wait for me here."

Daming, who was standing by, was ready to queue up in place of Pei Zigui, but was rejected by him.

"I'll go, you stay here to protect their safety."

"Yes."

Pei Zigui pushed open the wooden door and left the grocery store, leaving behind the sound of crisp bells.

As soon as he left, Jiang Ruoli pulled Shen Zhiyan to go upstairs. He heard that there were many interesting colored gemstone jewelry upstairs.

The second floor of this kind of shop is basically converted from an attic, and the classic wooden staircase is so small that only one person can pass through at a time.

Going up to the second floor, there is another space.

The crystal table was filled with boxes of all kinds, and the jewels inside were even more exquisite and complex than the boxes: necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, all unique pieces from independent designers.

"Yanyan, look at this butterfly, it's so special~"

On the purple velvet cloth, there is a butterfly-shaped ring, whose wings are inlaid with countless colorful gemstones. Under the spotlight, it shines brightly.

People who have never seen the real thing will definitely worry whether the design is too noisy and complicated, but when the real thing is in front of you, it is stunning at first sight. Even the most ordinary dress, paired with the right jewelry, will immediately be upgraded to a higher level.

Even someone like Shen Zhiyan, who usually prefers a simple and elegant aesthetic, was attracted by this ring.

"It's really beautiful. I remember you have a lot of butterfly jewelry. It suits you very well."

Jiang Ruoli held the box in his hand, as if he was going to put it in his pocket.

"It can be used as a brooch after some modification. Take it, take it!"

Afterwards, Shen Zhiyan picked out a braided headband on the second floor, which also suited her well.

As the saying goes, it is easier to go upstairs than to go downstairs. When the two of them were carefully going downstairs holding on to the wall, they happened to meet a little foreign girl who was climbing up with difficulty.

Jiang Ruoli slightly leaned aside to make room for the little girl, and greeted her in French with a smile: "Little one, you've been eating your crepe for quite some time, and it only hurts a little. Isn't it delicious?"

The little girl probably misunderstood Jiang Ruoli's meaning. She stretched out her hand and held the crepe in front of the beautiful big sister. Her childish voice was soft and obedient:

"Sister, do you want to eat?"

At the same time, the bell downstairs rang, accompanied by a loud bang as the wooden door slammed against the wall.

The crepe shop on the same street was packed with customers, with seats along the street filled with customers and the restaurant also crowded. This is enough to show how popular this shop is.

Glancing at the long queue of people, Pei Zigui frowned slightly.

Forget it, if you little trouble maker wants to eat, then just queue up.

As time went by, the line gradually shortened. Twenty minutes later, Pei Zigui had already been followed by a long line of people, and he was finally able to order food right away.

"Sir, what would you like to order? Here is the menu. We are currently out of seats, so we suggest you take it away."

Looking up from the ordering counter, the tired waiter was instantly attracted by the oriental face in front of him. He was as tall as a westerner, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a handsome face.

Could he be a star from some country?

After all, many Chinese programs have come to Paris to film in recent years.

The man scanned the menu carefully. The French on it seemed to be no obstacle for him. He raised his head and said in fluent French: "One chocolate banana, one ham, cheese and mushroom, to go."

Then, Pei Zigui paused and asked, "Do you have non-alcoholic cider?"

The waiter turned to the last page of the menu. "We have apple sparkling drinks, but I still recommend apple cider. The cider in our restaurant is all produced in Brittany."

The man raised the corner of his thin mouth and said, "Unfortunately, my wife can't drink."

The waiter then noticed the ring on the man's ring finger and sighed inwardly, thinking it was indeed a pity that such a handsome man was married.

After repeating the dishes, the waiter handed over a piece of paper and said, "Our crepes are all freshly made. Please wait for a moment. Your number will be called at the takeaway window over there."

Pei Zigui nodded slightly, "Thank you."

The whole store is filled with the tempting aroma of food, and the transparent glass window allows you to see the entire process of the chef making crepes.

If the little fox was here, she would definitely happily shoot videos for her vlog. Thinking of her, the smile in the man's eyes deepened. He took out his phone and pressed the record button towards the open kitchen behind the glass.

At the same time, a gunshot was suddenly heard from the corner of the street.

Screams were heard in the store instantly, and people rushed inside with their heads covered, nervously asking the clerk to close the door quickly.

Corner...grocery store!

His black eyes suddenly narrowed, Pei Zigui pushed through the crowd and rushed out quickly.
