On the streets and alleys, wisps of smoke rise from breakfast stalls, the heat mingling with the morning mist.

The aroma of food wafted through the air, whetting people's appetites and adding a touch of warmth and life to the morning.

Early risers, whether taking a leisurely stroll or rushing about, all begin their new day in the morning light.

Fukasawa glanced at the time; it was 8:30.

He sat quietly on the sofa, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes fixed intently on the closed door of Lu Rou's room.

Just then, a soft "click" was heard, and the door was slowly opened from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, a figure that looked like a fairy descending to earth appeared at the door.

Lu Rou wore light makeup, and her face was delicate and beautiful.

She wore a light orange tank top that perfectly showcased her alluring collarbones and slender neck.

Wearing a white sheer jacket over it, which flutters gently in the breeze, adds a touch of ethereal and graceful beauty.

She wore white wide-leg pants that perfectly accentuated her long, straight legs.

A gentle breeze caressed Lu Rou's hair, causing it to dance in the wind. Warm sunlight bathed her, giving her a soft golden glow.

Her rosy, glossy lips curved slightly: "Let's go."

Fukasawa jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Yay!"

Kyoto is most famous for its century-old morning tea culture, where the aroma of tea and the sweetness of delicate sweets intertwine to create a unique morning melody.

Last night, Lu Rou decided to give it a try.

Teahouse.

The steaming basket on the table was filled with small, exquisite, and delicate pastries.

The shrimp dumplings were translucent, the char siu buns were plump and round, the rice noodle rolls exuded a rich rice aroma, and the chicken feet looked incredibly tempting…

Fukasawa's eyes widened in disbelief.

Absolutely delicious!

He looked at Lu Rou, his eyes filled with eagerness.

"Eat."

Fukasawa placed a chopstick on the shrimp dumpling. The translucent dumpling skin, as thin as a cicada's wing, wrapped around the tender and delicious pink shrimp, and one could vaguely see the pink inside.

Upon first bite, the texture is bouncy and smooth, with the delicious juices bursting on the tongue, and the rich shrimp flavor instantly filling the entire mouth.

"Delicious, delicious! Grandma Zhu was right, the food here is so fragrant, I feel so happy."

"Eat as much as you like, and order more if you're still hungry."

"Long live Sister Lu!"

Fukasawa then reached for the rice noodle roll with his chopsticks. The delicate and smooth rice noodle skin wrapped around tender diced meat, and then a spoonful of special soy sauce was poured on top, filling the air with a rich aroma of fermented bean paste.

With a gentle lift of the chopsticks, the rice noodle rolls reveal their freshness and chewy texture, offering an excellent taste.

Lu Rou picked up a char siu bao (barbecued pork bun). Its fluffy, slightly yellowish skin had a slight crack at the top, resembling a small flower about to bloom.

Take a bite, and you'll find the char siu filling with its perfect balance of lean and fatty meat. The unique seasoning sauce creates a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors, and the rich aroma of the meat complements the wheat flavor of the dough perfectly.

"It's really good."

"Sister Lu, those chicken feet are incredibly delicious. The bones and meat separate easily, and they melt in your mouth. The aroma of the spices blends perfectly with the natural freshness of the chicken feet, creating a savory, slightly sweet flavor that dances joyfully on your taste buds."

In the midst of their back-and-forth eating, the food on the table was quickly devoured. Both of them ate to their hearts' content, and finally put down their chopsticks with satisfaction after a hearty meal.

Fukasawa had already slumped back in his chair, gently stroking his round belly, a look of utter satisfaction on his face.

"Sister Lu, the food here is so delicious! I will definitely come again next time."

While savoring the delicious food he had just eaten, Shenze excitedly said to Lu Rou.

Lu Rou smiled and replied, "Okay."

She was equally happy.

The food in this world has a unique charm; it is not only delicious in color, aroma, and taste, but also comes in a wide variety of forms, with each dish resembling a fine work of art.

Just as the two were about to get up and leave, a burly middle-aged man slowly walked towards them.

He looked at Lu Rou with gratitude in his eyes: "Miss, thank you so much."

Sun Changguo came for morning tea and immediately noticed the eye-catching Lu Rou upon entering. He waited until she finished eating before approaching her.

When Lu Rou saw the person who came, she glanced at his forehead and saw that he had already regained his vitality.

"No need to be so polite, it's just that we're destined to meet."

Sun Changguo took out a bank card and handed it to Lu Rou: "Miss, this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

If it weren't for the talisman Lu Rou gave him yesterday, he probably would be dead by now.

After a busy day, Sun Changguo closed the shop as usual, started his car, and slowly drove onto the road he took every day to get home.

As he approached the intersection, the traffic light was about to turn green. He lightly pressed the accelerator, ready to cross smoothly.

However, in that instant, the car suddenly shook violently without warning, and then the roar of the engine stopped abruptly, leaving only a deathly silence.

Sun Changguo's heart sank. He tried to start the car again, but it didn't respond. The cars behind him were confused and started honking their horns, creating a noisy cacophony on the narrow street.

Sun Changguo was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He kept turning the key while muttering curses under his breath at the sudden situation.

Just then, a deafening roar came from the side. He instinctively turned his head and saw a huge dump truck rushing straight toward the roadside guardrail like an out-of-control beast.

For a moment, the world seemed to fall silent. Sun Changguo's eyes widened as he watched the dump truck crash into the guardrail. The enormous impact shattered the guardrail, and flying debris scattered everywhere.

He sat frozen in the car, still reeling from the terrifying ordeal, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.

Just then, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed a familiar name—Li Yao.

Her urgent voice came through.

"Changguo, have you arrived at your apartment complex yet? I think I heard a lot of noise outside. Are you alright?"

Sun Changguo took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady.

"I'm at the intersection. My car broke down. There was an accident involving a dump truck in front of me. I'm fine, don't worry."

Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone; her right eye had been twitching all morning.

"That's good. I'll wait for you to come home."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Changguo was still in shock. If his vehicle hadn't malfunctioned, the dump truck wouldn't have crashed into the guardrail, but into him.

Suddenly remembering something, he took out the talisman Lu Rou had given him from his pocket; it had already turned to ashes.

He knew in his heart that she was truly his benefactor.

Lu Rou did not accept the offer, but instead asked Sun Changguo to sit down: "Mr. Sun, I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you."

Sun Changguo asked in confusion, "Please speak, young lady."

"I'd like to sell my talismans in your shop. I have a shopping cart on my live stream, and I need you to ship them to the addresses I need. We'll split the profits 60/60, but I need you to provide yellow paper and cinnabar. How about it? Interested?"

Lu Rou had thought it through. The online talismans were sold out, so she could use the paper dolls to send flowers to accumulate merit!

No!

If we have a partner, we can easily solve the delivery problem and develop offline channels.

Upon hearing this, Sun Changguo's eyes lit up. He was certain of making a profit, and he'd also established a connection: "Very interested!"

"That…"

"Girl, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Mr. Sun, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

They clasped hands and smiled at each other.

……

After Lu Rou left, Sun Changguo quickly returned to Li Yao's side.

At this moment, Li Yao put down her chopsticks and spoon, clearly having finished enjoying the meal.

Sun Changguo felt a surge of joy, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

He excitedly leaned closer to Li Yao and couldn't wait to say, "Wife, let me tell you..."
