The gray rabbit shopkeeper looked at the pretty young girl in front of him with great suspicion, but she neither responded to his words nor asked about the price of the items.

Her big, bright eyes were fixed on her head...ears, without blinking!

This strange behavior left Boss Gray Rabbit completely baffled.

Although the ancient streets have always been a place where humans and demons coexist harmoniously, and private fighting is strictly prohibited, there are always a small group of people who are unaware of their own mortality and dare to openly violate the prohibition, especially those who like to cause trouble for weak demons like her.

What's even more terrifying is that she had recently heard from the old goat uncle next door who sells groceries that there is a group of wicked people who specialize in capturing little monsters like them who have finally managed to cultivate into human form, and then using them for some shady deals.

Whenever he thinks about this, Boss Gray Rabbit can't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, terrifying thoughts surged into his mind, and the rabbit demon boss instantly felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. His heart was in his throat, and even the rabbit ears that had been standing quietly on his head began to tremble involuntarily.

However, she still tried to remain calm, secretly glancing at Tong Guang out of the corner of her eye. This beautiful young girl didn't look like a vicious villain at all!

Maybe...maybe they just find their ears novel and interesting?

Jiang Chenyan stepped forward and softly called out, "Tong Guang?"

The girl snapped out of her daze and looked at Jiang Chenyan. "What's wrong?"

The man chuckled softly, "The boss is asking you, do you like these pastries?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Guang turned to look at the gray rabbit boss, only to see him with a sheepish grin on his face.

"..."

Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, boss, I... I just found you very kind and got a little lost in the moment!"

The gray rabbit boss was an easy-going person. Upon hearing the little girl's explanation, he quickly waved his hand, "Oh...it's alright, it's alright!"

Tong Guang's gaze returned to the various pastries on the stall, and he couldn't help but marvel at the owner's skillful craftsmanship!

These pastries are not only diverse in variety, but also meticulously crafted into various shapes.

Some were made into the shape of flowers, with petals layered upon each other, lifelike; others were made into the shape of various fruits, with bright and tempting colors, exuding a fruity fragrance.

Many were also made into the shapes of small animals, with several lifelike little white rabbits hopping and playing, looking very adorable.

Tong Guang's eyes widened, and he marveled once again at the owner's superb skills, which allowed him to sculpt ordinary pastries so lifelike.

I felt my taste buds starting to stir, and my stomach started to rumble.

He excitedly shouted to the shop owner, "Boss, I want every single one of these!"

"Okay!" Boss Gray Rabbit readily agreed, and in no time, a tray full of various pastries was handed to Tong Guang.

Several simple dining chairs were placed next to the stall, which were specially provided by the owner of Grey Rabbit for customers to enjoy the food.

Tong Guang carried the tray of pastries to a chair and sat down. Jiang Chenyan, who was standing next to her, also came over and sat down in the seat opposite her.

Reaching out, I picked up a peach-shaped pastry from the tray. The pastry was small and delicate, with pink petals and golden sugar granules adorning the center, making it exceptionally tempting.

Put the whole pastry straight into your mouth!

Seeing this, the gray rabbit shop owner cautiously asked, "How is it? Little girl, is the taste good?"

With his mouth stuffed full of pastries, Tong Guang could only nod vigorously.

Seeing that his work had been well received by the customers, the owner of Grey Rabbit immediately smiled.

When Tong Guang swept away half a plate of pastries like a whirlwind, he looked up and found that the person sitting opposite him was gone.

?

Where did Jiang Chenyan go? She looked around anxiously!

"I'm here!"

A clear, deep voice came from behind him. Tong Guang turned around and met Jiang Chenyan, whose eyebrows were smiling.

She quickly swallowed the last bite of pastry, her brows furrowing slightly. "Where did you go? How did you disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Jiang Chenyan smiled helplessly. He had been gone for almost ten minutes, it was hardly a "blink of an eye"!

Of course, he wouldn't expose the girl...

"I'm going to buy juice. You're eating so fast, be careful not to choke," he said gently, his voice soft and tender, a hint of affection hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

Tong Guang suddenly felt a little embarrassed and her eyelashes fluttered. He had bought her juice, and she had almost eaten all the pastries by herself, and then questioned him about what he had been doing!

Taking the juice the man offered, she muttered softly, "You can have all of these!"

As she spoke, she pushed the tray of pastries that was in the middle of the table toward Jiang Chenyan again!

The gray rabbit boss gazed quietly at the two people in front of him, a hint of emotion and nostalgia in his eyes.

Her thoughts drifted back to her youth, when she and her husband were just as loving and inseparable as this young couple.

However, fate is cruel! We will never see each other again in this life. Thinking of this, an indescribable sadness welled up in my heart.

She couldn't help but say, "Girl, if you meet someone who truly cares for you, you must cherish them!" Her voice trembled slightly, seemingly carrying endless regret...

Hearing this, Tong Guang, who was gulping down her juice, looked up at the shop owner. Her little face was slightly puffed up from drinking so fast!

Her pink eyes showed some confusion; she didn't understand what Boss Gray Rabbit meant by that.

Although she didn't understand, she still obediently nodded her little head!

Tong Guang didn't understand, but Jiang Chenyan understood the unspoken meaning in her words.

His eyes darkened slightly, and a different kind of emotion spread across his deep pupils.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was pure and innocent, and who was still focused on drinking her juice. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Then, Jiang Chenyan reached out and picked up a peach-shaped pastry from the tray, took an elegant bite, and savored it.

"How is it? Isn't it delicious?" Tong Guang put down his juice glass and asked expectantly.

Jiang Chenyan smiled and nodded in approval.

"Boss, how did you make this? It tastes absolutely amazing!" Tong Guang looked at the Grey Rabbit boss with a look of surprise and praised him again.

Upon hearing this, the owner, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it and gave a friendly smile. "Haha, there's really no special trick to it. It's mainly because I use fresh and high-quality ingredients, and I put a lot of care into making it, that's why it tastes so good!"

There were no other customers at the moment, so the gray rabbit owner simply walked over and sat down next to the two of them, and started chatting with the girl.

Jiang Chenyan, sitting to the side, maintained a faint smile, quietly observing the girl. He made no move to interrupt the two who were enjoying their conversation...
