Upon hearing that she was going to set up a night stall and leave He Yang alone, Zhao Yunjin didn't think much of it and said to Yun Zhizhi, "I'm free tonight, I'll accompany you two to set up the night stall."
Yun Zhizhi looked at him in surprise and quickly waved her hand, saying, "This isn't appropriate!"
After all, he was of noble status, and she was afraid that people would gossip if she let him set up a stall with the two of them.
Zhao Yunjin met her gaze and smiled slightly: "You are my friend, and you even helped me heal the scar on my face. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Besides, neither of you knows martial arts. With me, Zhao Yi, and Zhao Er here, you can take care of each other."
At this moment, He Yang quickly responded, "That's right! The Sixth Prince is right. It won't be so boring if there are a few more people."
In fact, He Yang had already decided that no one would come tonight. It would be better for a few more people to stay than for him and his boss to just stare at each other.
Yun Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, but then agreed, "Okay!"
Master Xuanzhen originally planned to stay and keep them company, but seeing how cooperative his disciple was, he abandoned the plan.
However, he thought the same as He Yang, believing that their night stall would not be very profitable. In this way, his apprentice could take advantage of the free time to cultivate a relationship with Zhizhi.
His eyes darted around, and he suddenly stood up, quickly walked to Yun Zhizhi's side, and grinned:
"Zhizhi, although I won't be setting up the night stall with you, I'll wait for you to come back from the Yun residence before going to bed. Isn't that nice of me? In consideration of this, could you cook me another serving of spicy hot pot for a late-night snack?"
"Sure, but won't you get tired of eating spicy hot pot several times a day?" Yun Zhizhi asked curiously.
Without a second thought, Master Xuanzhen immediately replied, "Not greasy at all."
He wished he could eat it every day!
By noon, he had learned that she was only setting up her stall here for four days and would not be selling spicy hot pot anymore, so he was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to eat his fill.
As night deepened, several lanterns were lit beside the stalls, emitting a soft glow.
Yun Zhizhi didn't prepare too many ingredients for this night stall; she only prepared enough for about twenty servings.
Since it was her first time setting up a night stall, she wasn't really confident and was just giving it a try.
He Yang glanced at the already boiling broth, then at Yun Zhizhi squatting by the stove adding firewood, and a sense of curiosity welled up within him. So he asked:
"Boss, nobody's coming to our stall, so why do we keep adding firewood to the stove?"
Yun Zhizhi turned around, raised her eyes to look at him, and had a mysterious smile on her lips: "Do you think the aroma of this broth is strong enough?"
He Yang nodded: "Of course it's domineering! My clothes are soaked with the smell of this spicy hot pot."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sniff his sleeve again.
Yun Zhizhi smiled and explained, "I did this to use this strong and intense smell to attract the students' attention and let them know that we haven't packed up yet."
He Yang suddenly realized and couldn't help but exclaim, "So that's how it is! Boss really has a good idea!"
Without this irresistible and increasingly addictive flavor, the students at Lishan Academy would probably find it hard to believe, or even notice, that they would be setting up a night stall here.
"You sit here and watch the fire. I'm going to have a chat with the Sixth Prince." After saying that, Yun Zhizhi strode towards the big tree not far away.
She walked up to Zhao Yunjin and said with a smile, "Sixth Prince, won't you be bored sitting here?"
Looking at the woman before him with her bright, smiling eyes and a gentle smile, Zhao Yunjin couldn't help but smile slightly and softly replied, "Didn't you come here to keep me company?"
After hearing this, Yun Zhizhi sat down next to him without any hesitation and asked curiously, "Why are you still wearing a mask?"
Actually, she wanted to ask him this question when he appeared here wearing a mask, but there were many people present at the time, so it wasn't convenient for her to speak.
"There are too many people here, and I haven't fully adapted yet. I need some time to recover. I'll take off my mask in a few days."
Yun Zhizhi nodded in understanding.
So she stopped asking about the mask and changed the subject to have a pleasant conversation with him.
The students at Lishan Academy were subjected to the fragrance all afternoon, and they thought they would be free from this torment by evening.
However, this is not the case.
The intoxicating fragrance once again permeated every corner of Lishan Academy, making it impossible for the students to escape.
Many students have started complaining again:
"It smells so good!"
"I can't take it anymore, my stomach has been growling nonstop for a while now."
"Could it be that Yun Zhizhi hasn't left yet? That's unlikely! It's already dark; she couldn't possibly still be setting up a stall at the academy entrance."
"If we follow this scent, we'll find out, won't we?"
So, the group followed the enticing aroma to a corner of the wall to the right of the main gate.
Among this group of students were Zhang Lei, Zhu Yuanting, and Yu Shujin, who had previously clashed with Yun Zhizhi.
Zhang Lei gave Zhu Yuanting a wink, and Zhu Yuanting immediately understood. He used both hands and feet to climb up the wall and peeked out to check the situation outside.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Lei, Yun Zhizhi and Fatty He haven't left yet! Judging from their appearance, they're obviously setting up a night market here!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei frowned and remained silent.
Yun Zhizhi is truly his nemesis. Ever since she found a powerful backer, he has tried his best to avoid provoking her.
