Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

For several days in a row, Shen Zhiyi was in a particularly good mood, with a faint smile often on his face, and his temper was not as bad as before. He really acted like an older brother.

However, in sharp contrast to him, Tao Jiuxi has been frowning these days.

Every day, Tao Jiuxi paid special attention to Shen Zhiyi's whereabouts.

As soon as Shen Zhiyi stepped out of the house, she quickly changed into men's clothes and rushed out.

She hurried to the shop, not only arranging the decoration matters, but also carefully guiding the work of the new guys recruited by Li Dachun.

She has strict requirements on the layout and decoration of the store, paying attention to every detail and striving for perfection.

In addition, she also specially asked someone to make various exquisite plates and utensils for serving snacks in the shop.

She meticulously designs the plates and utensils, some with exquisite patterns and others with unique shapes that captivate everyone at first sight. Even the takeout boxes and oil paper are carefully selected, ensuring they are both aesthetically pleasing and practical and durable.

Tao Jiuxi was so busy that he didn't have a moment to rest.

Seeing the money in her pocket dwindling like running water, she felt increasingly depressed and out of sorts.

Today, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat lunch, and hurried to Xihou Street to set up a stall.

She was looking forward to having customers patronize her fortune-telling business so that she could earn some money to ease her current financial pressure.

However, more than an hour passed, and her stall was still deserted, with no one coming to patronize it.

Today's income was zero, which made her extremely depressed.

As the sun gradually sets, evening is approaching.

Tao Jiuxi sighed helplessly and prepared to close his stall and go home to serve Shen Zhiyi, the "big Buddha" at home.

While packing up her stall, she was thinking about how to save money and how to get the store back on track as soon as possible to earn more money.

"But is it time to close the stall?" A man's voice came from behind, and the voice sounded a little familiar.

Tao Jiuxi was folding up the sign when he heard the voice and stopped and turned around.

"It's you, Xie Jinghuan." A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Jiuxi's eyes.

The person who came was Xie Jinghuan, who had used the jade pendant to pay for divination.

Today he was wearing a moon-white robe with a black belt around his waist. He had an upright posture and an extraordinary temperament.

"Young Master, you have a good memory. Can I sit down?" Xie Jinghuan asked with a smile. That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel very friendly.

"Of course..." Tao Jiuxi responded, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She thought to herself: Could it be that Xie Jinghuan came to ask her for the jade pendant?

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt guilty.

"Why didn't I see you setting up a stall here a few days ago?" Xie Jinghe asked softly after sitting down.

"I had something going on at home, so I didn't come out. Do you want to have your fortune told today?" Tao Jiuxi put the sign aside and sat down, trying to make his tone sound calm and natural.

"There are some troublesome things." Xie Jinghuan frowned slightly, with a trace of distress on his face.

"Then please draw a fortune today, sir." Tao Jiuxi said, pushing the fortune bucket in front of Xie Jinghe.

Xie Jinghuan nodded slightly, then casually drew a stick from the stick box.

"A few days ago, I met someone by chance, and the thought of him has been lingering in my mind lately and is hard to get over." Xie Jinghe said softly, with a hint of tenderness and melancholy in his eyes.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, he understood about 70% of it.

It's clear that Xie Jinghuan is in unrequited love.

He looked at Xie Jinghuan's handsome face again. What kind of woman could make him obsessed?

Xie Jingyan handed the fortune slip to Tao Jiuxi and asked, "What does this mean?"

Tao Jiuxi took the fortune stick and saw that it was written on it: There are beautiful women everywhere in the world, but being affectionate will only annoy the heartless ones.

The meaning of this fortune is very clear, it is obviously hopeless.

Tao Jiuxi secretly groaned in his heart. If the fortune-telling was true, he would definitely lose all the money he earned from fortune-telling today.

"Thank you, sir. How about drawing another one?" Tao Jiuxi asked tentatively.

Xie Jinghuan chuckled, and that smile was like a spring breeze, making Tao Jiuxi lose consciousness for a moment.

But she quickly reacted, thinking that she was now wearing men's clothes and should be more restrained and not scare people.

Xie Jinghe drew another lot from the lottery and handed it to Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi looked at the new fortune note, which read: Don’t let your spring love compete with flowers for growth, for every inch of lovesickness is an inch of ashes.

She couldn't help but feel a little distressed. What should she do?

"How about Mr. Xie draw another one?" Tao Jiuxi suggested again.

Xie Jinghe seemed to be in a very good temper. He was neither annoyed nor anxious. He drew another lot from the paper and handed it to Tao Jiuxi.

However, it was another bad fortune, which read: I wasted my love and was sad because my marriage had not yet arrived.

Tao Jiuxi frowned and complained in his heart: Damn it, he is destroying his own rice bowl.

Li Dachun is really something. Why did he cram so many bad fortunes into the entire fortune-telling document, leaving her no room to argue?

"Are you still smoking?" Tao Jiuxi asked helplessly.

"No more drawing. The fortune is just a matter of probability. Everything depends on human effort. It is better to act according to your heart than to act solely based on the fortune." Xie Jinghe's tone was firm and steady.

Xie Jinghuan didn't believe in divination at all. The only reason he was sitting here was for Tao Jiuxi.

After their last separation, he passed by Xihou Street several times intentionally or unintentionally, but he never saw Tao Jiuxi.

He came again today and finally saw Tao Jiuxi, and he was naturally happy.

"Everything depends on human efforts, and we must do it." Xie Jinghuan said slowly.

"Mr. Xie is a smart man." Tao Jiuxi said, but he felt sorry that he didn't make any money from fortune-telling.

As the two were talking, a voice called out from afar: "Chuibing~Chuibing fresh from the pan."

Tao Jiuxi hadn't eaten lunch today. When he heard the hawking, his stomach suddenly growled and he felt extremely hungry.

She thought about buying two sesame cakes to fill her stomach first, and then continue talking with Xie Jinghuan.

"Mr. Xie, wait a minute, I'll buy a cake." Tao Jiuxi turned and said to Xie Jinghe.

"Go ahead." Xie Jinghuan nodded slightly with a gentle expression.

"Would you like one?" Tao Jiuxi thought that since he wanted to buy one, he might as well ask Xie Jinghe.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tao." Xie Jinghe accepted it without any hesitation.

Tao Jiuxi didn't expect this. Looking at Xie Jinghe in his gorgeous clothes, she muttered to herself: Wouldn't it be a bit incongruous for such a person to be eating pancakes on the street?

Tao Jiuxi quickly stopped the pancake stall and bought two pancakes.

She handed one to Xie Jinghuan, and the hot biscuits exuded a fragrant aroma.

However, Xie Jinghuan was sitting opposite him at the moment. Even though Tao Jiuxi was growling with hunger, he was too embarrassed to eat the pancake in his hand.

Before she traveled through time, her friends usually thought she was as thick-skinned as a city wall, but now in front of this particularly handsome man, especially under his direct gaze, she actually became shy.

Oops, this is not like her usual style.

But now that she was wearing men's clothes, she could only pretend to be calm and try to maintain her "masculinity", but she was secretly muttering in her heart: This is really embarrassing. I should have known not to buy cakes so impulsively.

It would be fine if Xie Jinghuan was just good-looking, but he also stared at people like that, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

Xie Jinghuan looked at Tao Jiuxi, wanting to say something but stopping himself, thinking that she must be hungry.
