Chen Qing brought Nie Huan to a pastry shop. There were not many varieties of pastries here, and the shop was not big. The decoration inside was in the style that was popular more than ten years ago. It looked dirty and old.
There was an old man sitting at the cashier counter, wearing reading glasses on his nose, reading a newspaper. Standing in the store, you can see the kitchen inside. It is also small, with dark walls. Two elderly women are making snacks, and they look very busy.
Shen Qing seemed to come here often. She walked into the store with ease, took a paper bag from under a table, and then used large tweezers to pick out the snacks she liked from the merchandise cabinet one by one.
Nie Huan stood by, watching Shen Qing's actions quietly. The girl was very serious when choosing. When she came across two different flavors, she would stop and frown to think about which one to choose.
"Let's buy them all." Nie Huan suggested. Shen Qing was not short of money, and she was not short of money either.
"It's a waste to buy too much. You can't finish it." The old man at the cashier looked up and glanced at them.
Nie Huan was stunned. He had only ever heard of shopkeepers asking people to buy more, but had never seen them ask customers to buy less.
Shen Qing had already made her selection and came to pay with a full paper bag.
"Are you Shen Qing?" When she came closer, the old man could see the girl's face clearly. She was as beautiful as when she was a child.
"Yeah." Shen Qing took out the card and swiped it on the card machine with ease.
"Come here, two kids." The old man called them over, stood up with the help of his cane, opened a cabinet behind him, and took out a package from it.
"Sour jujube cake, try it." He stuffed the thing into Shen Qing's hand, and when he smiled, all the wrinkles on his face piled up together.
"Thank you." Shen Qing took it with a smile.
"Do you know each other?" Nie Huan asked Chen Qing while walking on the road and eating sour jujube cake.
“Yeah, I used to go shopping there when I was a kid.” Shen Qing gave all the sour jujube cakes to Nie Huan without eating a single bite.
She couldn't get used to the food in Country R, so when she was hungry she would come out to buy snacks, so that everyone in the store knew this pretty but quiet girl.
Shen Qing raised his head and his eyes fell on the car not far ahead. A tall man was standing beside the car, wearing a black hat that covered the upper half of his face.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the girl stop, Nie Huan looked at her and found that she was looking forward.
"It's okay." Shen Qing quickly withdrew his gaze and was about to pull the person away when he received a call on his mobile phone. It was Lu Xuanyou calling.
"Qingqing, I saw you and your friends."
"Oh." The girl responded coldly, and without looking back, she pulled Nie Huan away.
"Boss, Miss An Ning is gone." Lu Xuanyou's assistant stuck his head out of the car and spoke in an extremely cautious tone.
Lu Xuanyou tilted his head back and squinted his eyes until the girl disappeared in the crowd, then he turned around and went back to the car.
He didn't say a word. The assistant rolled his eyes, picked up the water beside him and took a sip. He felt that the atmosphere in the car was very depressing.
"Boss, where are we going now?"
The air was quiet for several seconds before Lu Xuanyou spoke: "Teahouse."
The assistant knew this teahouse, which had a very elegant name, Qinghe Teahouse.
The decoration inside is also exquisite, with a strong atmosphere of literati and poets. It is more like an art gallery than a teahouse.
During this period, the eldest brother seemed to be obsessed with the tea ceremony and would go to the teahouse whenever he had free time.
The assistant started the car and headed towards Qinghe Teahouse.
Lu Xuanyou sat in the back row, looking down at the photo on his phone. The girl in the photo was delicate and pretty, with a slight smile on her lips.
The boy standing next to her was a head taller than the girl, with deep eyebrows and eyes, just like he looked when he was a child.
