Around noon, Wen Xi started looking for food and found a newly opened hotpot restaurant for one person, so he walked in with some curiosity.
The shop was very small, barely allowing in one person at a time. A small sign saying 'Open Now' hung on the handle of the wooden door. Wen Xi pushed the door open and walked in.
There is no hustle and bustle like in other hotpot restaurants. The cobblestone paths wind around and are lined with lush greenery of various flowers and plants. The sun shines brightly on them, and there are occasional bird calls. There is actually a feeling that the birdsong makes the mountains even more secluded, which makes people feel relaxed.
Wen Xi walked and stopped, and when she saw beautiful flowers and plants, she would stop to look at them. After she had seen enough, she would walk forward again. Just as she was about to turn left according to the sign, she almost bumped into someone rushing out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The other person was wearing a restaurant uniform and carrying a delivery box on his back. When he saw that he almost bumped into someone, he stopped and apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay." Wen Xi looked up and said.
The moment their eyes met, they were both stunned.
"Is it you?"
Although the incident happened a long time ago, the other person's green hair was really impressive. Wen Xi recognized the person in front of her at once. He was the clown that Xu Zhenzhen hired to block her when she was in high school.
It seems that someone calls me Xiaohua.
That time when we blocked her was probably the first time we did that. We made a lot of jokes at the time and made everyone who came with her very angry.
When Xiaohua saw that she was recognized, she quickly covered her face with her hands and backed away, looking very nervous.
"What are you doing? I'm not going to eat you."
Seeing her exaggerated expression, Wen Xi was speechless.
"Um... Miss," Xiaohua whispered after quickly glancing around, "I'm sorry for what happened before, but I've turned over a new leaf now. I finally found this job to make a living. Please don't expose my past!"
So that's why I'm afraid.
Wen Xi's lips curled slightly, and he looked at her current outfit with a bit of amusement: "Why? Wasn't you quite impressive before? Now you've changed your career?"
"Oh, young lady, we live in a harmonious society now. How can we still do that kind of business? Besides, we haven't received a single order in half a year. We are almost starving to death. We have to change our careers..."
"So you're working in this store now?"
"Yeah, it's been so hard for me. Even finding this job was so hard... I don't have any ID, so many bosses think I'm a bad person just by looking at my hair and won't even give me a chance. But can I be blamed for that? Is this hair color naturally good? Even if I dye it black, it will change back."
Xiaohua, with her green hair, muttered pitifully, hoping that Wenxi would sympathize with her and not expose her past and ruin the job she had worked so hard to find.
Wen Xi was slightly surprised to hear her say this.
So this green hair is natural? That's quite rare.
"Judging from your accent, you're not a local, are you?"
"Miss, you're really perceptive!" Xiaohua saw Wenxi's calm expression, as if she wasn't going to embarrass her. So, with a smile on her face, she approached and said, "I'm from the south. You know Peach Blossom Spring, right? The village where I was born is not much different from that one. Our village has been hidden from the world for thousands of years, and even now, few outsiders know about it."
"Really? There are still such places nowadays?" Wen Xi walked forward with his hands in his pockets, listening to her nonsense casually, just as if he was listening to a story.
Seeing her expression of disbelief, Xiaohua became anxious: "Of course there is, little sister, you don't believe it? The reason we were able to go so long without being discovered is because our Luo tribe is very capable! Really, I know you may not believe me, but everyone in our tribe can live for hundreds of years."
