"How about we go to a hotel and get some sleep first?"
Seeing that Guan Yuxi was still drowsy, Leng Lie couldn't help but ask.
Guan Yuxi immediately jumped out of the car.
"No need, making money is the most important thing!"
She hung the black backpack on Leng Lie's back.
The two locked the car.
Hand in hand, they strolled toward the shop selling writing brushes and ink.
"Walk slower."
Guan Yuxi pulled Leng Lie back and slowed her pace.
Leng Lie hesitated for a moment, "How about you go first and I follow behind?"
They were so affectionate in public.
He... has gotten used to it, and even enjoys it.
However, this is the kind of stepping that can crush an ant.
He really can't adapt.
"Would anyone else dare to approach me then?"
Guan Yuxi remained silent.
With his strong physique and cold expression.
If he keeps following behind, people will mistake him for a bodyguard, and who would want to talk to him?
However, the fact that the two of them were walking together like this seemed to deter others from doing the same thing.
"Why don't you go wander around somewhere else for a while?"
He noticed that her eyes kept darting around him.
Leng Lie instantly understood what she meant.
He nodded, turned and left.
Guan Yuxi saw him following her at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Helplessly, she gave him a wink.
Leng Lie raised a smile and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Guan Yuxi walked into a dusty pen and ink shop with satisfaction.
This storefront is small and inconspicuous among the shops on the entire street.
But Guan Yuxi took a liking to the plaque above the door that read "Nanbaozhai".
As soon as she stepped over the threshold, a yellow and white tabby cat suddenly darted out and scurried past her feet.
"Stop it."
Without thinking twice, Guan Yuxi grabbed the cat by the neck.
"Thanks!"
A middle-aged man with a full head of white hair took the cat from her hands.
He stroked the cat's fur contentedly and said, "Look around and see whatever you want to buy. I'll give you a discount."
Guan Yuxi nodded with a smile and began to stroll around the store.
She picked up this, looked at it, and put it down; she picked up that, looked at it, and put it down again.
A middle-aged man lay in a rocking chair, pretending to doze off.
He glanced at her every now and then, his eyes gradually narrowing.
As Guan Yuxi stepped out of the door, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you see anything you liked?"
Guan Yuxi was secretly delighted, but sighed without showing any emotion.
"The things here are all quite good, but I don't have what I want."
I'd like to get a bronze brush washer as a gift for a highly respected elder.
A bronze brush washer? Those are hard to find!
The middle-aged man paused in his petting of the cat.
He seemed to be trying hard to recall the news about the bronze brush washer.
After a long pause, he shook his head and said, "Even if this thing is new, very few people play with it."
Finding older, more worn-out items is even more difficult.
"Aren't you going to take a look at the jade?"
Guan Yuxi understood that the fish had begun to tentatively touch the hook.
She needed to be especially cautious, especially in situations like this.
She lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head in disappointment, "No, things that don't match a set aren't worth that much."
Giving it as a gift to elders would seem insincere.
After saying that, she turned and left.
I strolled into other shops.
However, by noon, she had walked the entire street but still hadn't found anything.
I walked to the dessert shop in the middle of the street and ordered a bowl of tea.
"Hey girl, may I take a look at your things?"
I have many connections; I can help you find out.
The middle-aged man was holding a cat, but his eyes kept glancing at her backpack.
Guan Yuxi was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly swallowed the tea.
He choked and coughed repeatedly.
Are you serious?
Okay, I'll show it to you!
She took off her backpack as she spoke.
The middle-aged man grabbed her bag strap and said, "Come back to the shop with me."
It's not good to show this kind of thing in public.
Guan Yuxi seemed to remember something and suddenly grabbed her backpack and slung it over her chest.
She looked around warily.
Seeing that no one seemed to be paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me treat you to a cup of sweet soup."
"I'll go with you after my man arrives."
Her eyes were bright, and she clutched her backpack tightly, as if afraid someone would steal it.
The middle-aged man was amused by her.
He took two steps back while holding the cat and chuckled, "When your man arrives, just take him to my shop."
He then pointed to his shop.
Guan Yuxi nodded, "I know, I recognize your cat."
The yellow and white tabby cat had a piece missing from its left ear, as if it had been twisted off by some external force.
The middle-aged man smiled wryly and gently stroked the cat.
He turned around leisurely and walked back.
Are you hungry?
Leng Lie sat down next to her and handed her a steaming hot meat bun.
Guan Yuxi gave him one.
"I'm not hungry."
"Then I won't eat it either!"
Leng Lie had no choice but to take one, saying, "Fine, I'll eat it."
Guan Yuxi then smiled and said reproachfully:
That's more like it.
I don't want to be fed like a pig by you, hmph.
She handed him the bowl of sweet soup, saying, "Have some."
"I'm not thirsty..."
The cold words were barely on his lips when he had no choice but to obediently open his mouth and take two sips.
"From now on, you eat when I tell you to eat, and you drink when I tell you to drink, understand?"
"Um."
He gave a soft "hmm".
Guan Yuxi knew that he was still reluctant to spend money.
She patted her backpack and smiled mysteriously, saying, "We're about to have a way to make money."
Leng Lie raised an eyebrow, "That man just now?"
