"Sir, we're here!"
At about a quarter past four, a carriage filled with the scent of cosmetics arrived at the entrance of Jinghuayuan Snack Shop on Caiyun Street.
Xiaochun, dressed in shorts and carrying a bundle, jumped out of the carriage nimbly, and then helped out a handsome and charming man in a pink smoke-silk robe.
Lianxing looked up at the eye-catching sign above the doorway, which read "Jing Hua Yuan Snacks." He recalled how he and Xiaochun had come to shelter under the eaves of this shop on the night of the 16th when they were caught in a sudden downpour on their way back to Hongchen Pavilion from the county government office.
There was thunder and lightning, and the weather was windy and rainy. Lianxing wanted Xiaochun to go and knock on the door and ask the owner to lend them a place to shelter from the rain, but he never expected that someone suddenly knocked him unconscious from behind and dragged him away.
On that rainy night, he was dragged into a dark and damp alley by a psychopathic killer. Not only was he insulted, but he was also about to chop off his feet with a knife...
It was also on that silent and terrifying night that a tall and strong man happened to pass by and saved his life. He even took off his black robe to cover his filth.
But for some unknown reason, after rescuing him, Master Situ suddenly fainted. Lian Xing had no choice but to hire a carriage to bring him back to Hongchen Pavilion.
The night when Master Situ was brought back to Hongchen Pavilion, he had a fever all night, and Lianxing took care of him all night.
To the other person, saving him was just a matter of chance, but to Yu Lianxing, it was a ray of light that he rarely encountered in his bitter life.
That night in the dark alley was the darkest moment in Lianxing's life; that night in the Hongchen Pavilion was also the happiest time in his life.
Lian Xing's eyes were far away, and she was stunned for a moment, as if she was recalling something. Everything in her memory seemed to have just happened, so unforgettable.
"Xiaochun, did you bring your clothes?"
"I have it, sir."
"Well, let's go."
Before Lianxing and Xiaochun reached the door of the store, they saw the eye-catching gold-plated hollow butterfly-shaped eye mask nailed to the door.
He had also heard about the Golden Butterfly incident, but he didn't expect that Yuan Qiu had targeted this shop. What he didn't expect was that not only was this shop fine, but Yuan Qiu's Sihai Casino was destroyed, and the Yuan family martial arts school was also in name only.
Jinghuayuan Snacks has been always busy since its opening. Now, because Jin Hudie challenged the Yuan Family Martial Arts School on behalf of this shop, it has become the hottest gossip among the residents of Yunshui Town. People who come here to buy things or to watch the fun under the pretext of buying things have formed several long queues.
"Please line up and come one by one."
Zhang San, a waiter in the store, followed Situ Ye's instructions and was responsible for maintaining order in the queue at the door to prevent congestion and chaos.
"Hey, hey, why are you two cutting in line?"
"Exactly. We've been waiting in line for a long time."
“No queue-jumping!”
…
Seeing Lianxing and Xiaochun walking towards the store through the gap between the lines, someone in the queue immediately protested.
"My son and I are here to look for someone, not to buy anything."
Seeing that many people were speaking unkindly to him and Lianxing, Xiaochun immediately began to explain.
"What happened?"
When everyone was making a lot of noise, a deep, powerful and extremely magnetic voice broke the noise, and then a tall and dark figure walked out of the store.
"Lianxing?"
Situ Ye was slightly surprised to see Lian Xing in pink, but then he understood that she was most likely here to reminisce about the past with his fourth brother.
"Master Situ, I...I'm here to look for Xiaotian."
Lian Xing's eyes darkened slightly, but she immediately suppressed her uncomfortable expression and gave Situ Ye a decent smile.
"Um."
Situ Ye's face was stern. He only nodded slightly to Lian Xing, then waved his hand and said to the customers in line:
"Dear guests, this gentleman is my friend. He came to visit me to reminisce about the past, not to buy anything. Please remain in line."
"Zhang San, please go to the counter and take a look first."
"Yes, Master Situ."
After Situ Ye comforted the customer and gave instructions to Zhang San, he grabbed Lian Xing's arm, pulled him into the shop, and then entered the backyard through the back door of the shop.
"Xiaotian!"
After pulling Lian Xing into the backyard, Situ Ye let go of his arm.
The warmth on his arm was still there, but the person was long gone. Lian Xing glanced at Situ Ye from the corner of her eye, and seeing his resolute and cold face, Lian Xing couldn't help but blush slightly.
"Here I come, second brother."
Yu Xiaotian, who was milking goats in the yard, heard Situ Ye's voice, and immediately packed up the basin of goat milk and took it out from the makeshift sheep pen to feed Xiaobai.
"Second... Second brother, Lianxing?"
Yu Xiaotian was slightly surprised to see Situ Ye appear with Lian Xing, but he felt relieved when he remembered that they had met before in Hongchen Pavilion.
"Xiaotian, we meet again. I brought your clothes to you."
Lianxing gave Xiaochun a look, then walked up to Yu Xiaotian and greeted him warmly.
"Mr. Yu, your clothes have been washed and starched. My young master brought them back to you specially."
Xiaochun tactfully took off the bag on her arm, took out a neatly folded blue robe from it, and presented it to Yu Xiaotian with both hands.
"Brother, my hands are wet, could you please help me get them first?"
"good."
Upon hearing this, Lian Xing quickly took the clothes from Xiao Chun and handed them to Situ Ye. When she withdrew her hand, her fingertips accidentally touched his palm. However, it was too fast and Situ Ye didn't pay much attention to it.
