Chapter 53 Do your thing and then do yours
An Shixia smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes. Get in the car, I'll show you the way!"
Yan Lingyu would not refuse An Shixia, and immediately started the car.
The car drove further and further into remote areas, and Yan Lingyu wondered what good food could be found here.
"Brother Yu, stop the car quickly! We can't go any further in, just park here."
Yan Lingyu looked ahead and saw a small alley. He found a parking space and parked his car.
An Shixia led him through a series of turns until they arrived at a family courtyard.
A simple sign hangs outside the courtyard: Kuai Le Hua Jia (筷乐花甲).
Yan Lingyu's eyebrows twitched, and he turned around to ask, "Is this the big meal you brought me here for?"
An Shixia nodded vigorously: "Don't be fooled by how shabby this place looks, it's a completely different story inside. I've been doing a lot of research on how to get here!"
Even the exact turn in the alley was something I had to ask several people online.
"Their clams are all made to order; one second they're alive, and the next they're on your plate."
As An Shixia thought about it, her mouth started to water; she loved eating clams.
Yan Lingyu followed her inside, went around two doors, and finally arrived at the cashier. The store manager was a slightly overweight middle-aged man who was telling the customers in front of him the order: "Finish yours first, then do yours, finish yours first, then do yours!"
Those customers received their order cards and went straight into the private room.
Seeing them come in, the owner looked up and asked, "What would you two like to eat?"
"One serving of steamed clams with egg, one serving of shrimp and clams salad, one serving of squid and clams, and two servings of clam rice noodles, slightly spicy."
These are some of the top-ranked dishes selected online, and she wants to try them all.
Online reviews say this restaurant's food is extremely spicy; someone once tried the medium spice level and their eyes started watering after eating half of it.
An Shixia likes spicy food, but she doesn't dare to try it.
The owner quickly jotted down notes: "There are a few tables ahead of you, so you'll have to wait two hours. Is that acceptable?"
An Shixia had already heard about the queue, so she had no objections: "Okay, let's go out for a walk first and come back later."
"Okay, here are your number tags. Please keep them safe. When you come in, go directly to that private room."
The owner pointed in a direction and said it was a private room, but it was actually just a separate room with a table inside. It looked very simple, but it was very clean.
After leaving the store, An Shixia led Yan Lingyu toward the pedestrian street, following the online guide.
"Xiaxia, are you thirsty?"
That afternoon, Yan Lingyu did not see An Shixia drink water.
"How did you know I was thirsty? Come on, let's go buy some drinks. I heard there's a yogurt shop around here, let's go find it."
An Shixia seemed extremely excited. She had only seen these delicacies online before, and now that she was here, she was quite looking forward to it.
The pedestrian street was bustling and was a straight passageway that you could see the end of at a glance. An Shixia spotted the yogurt shop right in the middle of the pedestrian street.
Yogurt can be made at home; you can choose the ingredients yourself.
An Shixia accidentally picked out a bit too much, and turned to Yan Lingyu awkwardly: "How about we eat together?"
The two were good-looking, and the shop manager's eyes kept falling on them. He mistook them for a young couple and said with a smile, "You two are a perfect match. I'll pack two boxes for you so you can take turns eating."
Yan Lingyu was amused by her words and replied, unusually, "Okay, could you please pack two more cups of hot water? How much?"
As he spoke, he had already scanned the QR code.
"We agreed that I would treat you, so I'll pay the bill."
An Shixia reached out and hugged him, preventing him from taking the next step.
"Okay, okay, you pay."
Yan Lingyu didn't insist on paying; he just wanted Xiaxia to be happy.
Although it's a yogurt shop, they also sell milk tea. Two cups of hot water were served in milk tea cups along with the yogurt.
"It's 278 yuan in total, but you can give me 275 yuan."
An Shixia's selection filled two large cups to the brim, making them extremely heavy. Yan Lingyu noticed the weight in her hand and immediately took them from her.
"I'll take it."
An Shixia skipped and hopped to several more stores, and Yan Lingyu had a few more items in his hands, but he wasn't impatient at all.
"Xiaxia, are you tired?"
The pedestrian street doesn't look very long, but walking around it can be a bit tiring: "A little, but we haven't gone to that little shop yet."
An Shixia pointed to the tallest building, which was only a hundred meters away from them. Since they were already there, she didn't want to miss it.
"Let's go eat after we've finished shopping there!"
As she spoke, she walked towards the small shop, with Yan Lingyu following behind her. For a moment, he wanted to carry her away.
She used to like to whine to him when she was tired and cling to him for a hug, so he started training, and now he can easily carry her up a mountain.
However... she was in high spirits and wouldn't want him to hug her, so Yan Lingyu held back and silently followed behind her.
Wow, these cups are so pretty.
An Shixia's gaze was drawn to a row of cups next to her, and she couldn't help but pick one up and take a look.
Just as Yan Lingyu was about to ask her if she wanted to buy something, An Shixia's attention was drawn to the hair accessories over there. She picked up a pink rabbit ear headband, held it up on her head, and turned to look at Yan Lingyu.
Is it pretty?
Yan Lingyu uttered two words: "Beautiful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, An Shixia put the headband on his head and quickly took a picture with her phone: "Wow, it really looks good!"
Yan Lingyu reluctantly took it off: "Xiaxia."

When He Huaisheng returned to the dormitory, Zhong Wenxuan was not there. After asking, he learned that Zhong Wenxuan had gone to an internet cafe.
He Huaisheng was anxious, but he didn't show it. He absentmindedly worked on a few documents, checking the time on his phone every few minutes.
As darkness approached, Zhong Wenxuan finally returned. He Huaisheng subtly hinted to him, "Wenxuan, my birthday is in a couple of days. We'll be having it in a private room at Fengyu Tower."
Zhong Wenxuan wasn't surprised at all: "Are we going to release the news again this time?"
He Huaisheng would announce his birthdays several times in the past, and people who wanted to get to know him would prepare gifts and go over.
However, An Shixia had planned all the private rooms at Fengyulou, so no matter how many people came, there would always be a room available.
This time... An Shixia will probably pay too, right?
He nodded confidently: "Release it, still the same private room as before, I'll negotiate."
Zhong Wenxuan, as his lackey, was always good at these things. He casually posted it on his WeChat Moments and received a lot of likes. Some people even sent him private messages to ask him questions.
He Huaisheng looked for a long time but still didn't see An Shixia give a thumbs up or ask Zhong Wenxuan about the situation, and he became a little anxious.
Zhong Wenxuan noticed him constantly scanning his phone and asked, puzzled, "Brother Sheng, what's wrong?"
He Huaisheng hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Has An Shixia not messaged you recently?"
