"You're not really that old-fashioned, are you?"
Yu Shiyue turned the tables on him.
"Yeah... never mind, I didn't ask anything."
Xia Che thought about it and realized it made sense. Why should he interfere so much in other people's private lives?
He probably did stay at a friend's house for one night, and then came after receiving my message. That explanation makes sense.
"By the way, your brother..."
Xia Che thought about it and decided it would be better to get straight to the point. He was going to watch Shen Yanxin's match in the afternoon, and it would be even better if he could ask about Yue's family situation as soon as possible.
"Hello, hello, hello!"
Yu Shiyue interrupted him, took out her phone from its pink case, and showed Xia Che the time: "Tell me, what time is it?"
"8:30... What's wrong?"
Xia Che answered truthfully.
What time did you send me the message?
"Around seven o'clock... I can't remember exactly."
"I came as soon as I got your message. It's so early, I haven't even had breakfast yet. Are you sure you want to ask here instead of taking me out for a meal first?"
Yu Shiyue put her hands on her hips and glared at Xia Che a few times, saying, "You have no emotional intelligence at all. No wonder you're still single."
"It's definitely my fault. Let's go, what do you want to eat?"
Xia Che smiled nonchalantly. Yu Shiyue was right. No matter how urgent things are, there is a priority. The fact that she came as soon as she received his message was enough to prove how much she valued him. It was indeed a bit too much to ask her questions without even offering her breakfast.
"No rush, let's take a look around first. I haven't really explored Jiang City much yet."
Yu Shiyue hugged Xia Che's arm, humming a song and skipping around, looking like she was in a very good mood.
"Fine, whatever you say."
Xia Che went all out, anyway...
Just consider it taking care of a friend's younger sister; it's not a big deal.
"My brother is the best."
Yu Shiyue said with a wicked smile, only to be flicked on the forehead by Xia Che in a bad mood. The force wasn't strong, but Yu Shiyue kept gasping for breath, as if she had been punched in the face and was about to die.
I took the opportunity to extort a DQ ice cream.
In fact...
This was a decision Yu Shiyue made after a brief period of thought following her waking up.
Since the ending is destined to be unchangeable, let's enjoy the time we have in Jiang City.
Although this false identity of "Brother Yue and Sister Yue" has brought Yu Shiyue a lot of trouble, the benefits are equally obvious.
She can use this persona to recklessly do things she used to want to do but didn't dare to.
Wearing a mask also means abandoning certain shackles.
Putting on a mask is also taking off a mask.
Yu Shiyue felt that her happiness at this moment was genuine, so...
Before leaving, let's use our fake identity to have some fun.
The kind that leaves no regrets.
...
Jiang City, a teahouse.
"I'd like a basket of xiaolongbao and a serving of sweet soy milk, with double the sugar."
"And two shumai, please. By the way, do you put meat or glutinous rice in your shumai?"
"...You're adding meat? Then bring two more."
After Yu Shiyue finished ordering, she smiled and handed the menu to Xia Che across from her, "It's your turn."
"I'll just have one basket of steamed buns, I'm not picky."
Xia Che didn't even look at it before handing the menu to the waiter in front of him, then rubbed his temples and sighed.
Who eats breakfast at a teahouse these days...?
While it's true that they sell breakfast here, the prices on the menu are way too high, aren't they?
Is it a bit too extravagant to use it as a place to have breakfast?
This is completely different from what Xia Che remembers as a breakfast of steamed buns and fried dough sticks from a roadside stall!
Mr. Wallet, who was already weak, looks like he's about to cough up blood again.
"Why have you only eaten so little? Don't you have a good appetite?"
Yu Shiyue said in a serious tone, "I've heard that men who eat little for breakfast have kidney deficiency."
"Thank you, I do feel quite weak right now."
Xia Che rubbed his face. He was one of the few people who had transmigrated into a comic book world and still had to worry about money.
Oh shit……
How come other people who transmigrate into this world are so glamorous and never have to worry about money?
Xia Che was already feeling the pinch just treating himself to breakfast, let alone the fact that he had to treat Yu Shiyue to DQ ice cream later. He felt he could afford the ice cream, but the name DQ...
Why does it sound like it's in the same league as brands like LV and Bulgari?
Is it going to be another exorbitant price?
How come young girls these days spend so much money? Do they make money so easily?
"Okay, I definitely can't finish it anyway, so remember to help me out."
Yu Shiyue shrugged and then smiled sheepishly.
"I knew it..."
Xia Che sighed.
Like Chu Yuying, that little brat, she has the personality of using herself as a dumping ground.
But there's nothing we can do.
Xia Che had some ideas on how to deal with the little female ghost, but the person in front of him was Yue's sister, and he needed her help again this time, so he had no choice but to endure it.
The teahouse serves food very quickly, probably because they have already prepared items like xiaolongbao and shumai. All you have to do is lift the steamer basket, take out the steamed food, and arrange it on a plate.
Xia Che ate quickly; he was starving and finished his portion of steamed buns in no time, feeling only slightly full.
Yu Shiyue's eating speed was not so fast, which was quite in line with her current image. She ate slowly and carefully, almost chewing a small steamed bun seventeen times.
"The taste is not bad..."
Xia Che waited for a long time before Yu Shiyue finished eating. She picked up a napkin, slowly wiped her mouth, and then raised her head to the barely touched steamed buns and shumai on the plate in front of her, and said with a giggle, "You know what I mean, brother."
“I know…moreover, we’ve already eaten, so you can talk about it now, right? About your brother’s relationship with his family.”
Xia Che didn't seem to mind at all. The food Yu Shiyue ate was all taken from the plate, not counting what she left over.
He immediately picked up his chopsticks and took a small steamed bun.
"Sure, what do you want to know?"
Yu Shiyue patted her belly, leaned back in her chair, sighed comfortably, and rested her cheek on her hand, clearly very satisfied.
"I'd like to know... is Brother Yue's relationship with his family very bad? Extremely strained?"
Xia Che took a bite of the xiaolongbao, feeling the warm soup flowing in his mouth, and then looked at Yu Shiyue with a serious expression.
"yes."
Yu Shiyue nodded gently.
Xia Che thought she had more to say, but after waiting for a while, Yu Shiyue didn't make a move. They stared at each other across the table.
