Chapter 51 No Sweetheart Yet



Upon hearing this question, Yu Zhizhi fell into deep thought. She rested her chin on her hand, her bright almond-shaped eyes fixed on the distance, seemingly pondering something.

After a while, she slowly replied, "I'm not planning to sell food this time."

The location of this stall is a bit strange; even customers who are very interested in food probably wouldn't want to stay there for more than a moment.

Yu Zhizhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of what to sell.

"I'm planning to sell cosmetics!"

On her way back home, she passed by a cosmetics shop on Xizi Street and was surprised to find that it was doing exceptionally well.

She then realized that, whether in ancient or modern times, women have a huge demand for makeup.

She also discovered that the quality of the rouge and face powder here was very poor and the variety was limited, but even so, the price was not cheap.

Since things have already come to this, instead of setting up a stall in this eerie place, why not sell some high-profit, valuable cosmetics? When you get a lot of money, at least you'll feel better.

Upon hearing that she wanted to sell cosmetics, Xiao Donggua blinked, thought for a moment, and thought that she had quite a good idea. "You only have two days to set up your stall this time, so make the most of it."

After a short while, it told Yu Zhizhi, "Based on what you want to sell, the system has decided to give you five days to prepare."

Yu Zhizhi is now absolutely certain that this lousy system has a grudge against her.

These bizarre stall locations definitively prove that she has something wrong with her head.

Wuhu – it's impossible to clear this up.

"Come on! Set up a stall, I have plenty of time anyway; come on, bring it on, anyway..."

Yu Zhizhi hummed as she walked, her voice melodious and captivating, as if possessing a magical quality that made people want to sing along.

When Little Winter Melon heard this crazy and seductive singing voice, he felt his scalp tingle, his head felt cool and itchy.

It couldn't help but shiver.

What the hell is this?

However, as Yu Zhizhi kept repeating this song, Xiao Donggua gradually became brainwashed.

It began to sway its round body gently to the melody without its realizing it, and involuntarily hummed, "Come on, let's have fun, I have plenty of time..."

Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but complain, "Shut your mouth, it's too awful."

The Sixth Prince's Residence

Upon seeing Yu Zhizhi, Zhao Yunjin felt an indescribable joy welling up inside him for some reason; he quickly stepped forward and naturally took the basket off her back.

"Thank you, Sixth Prince," Yu Zhizhi said softly.

After thanking her, Yu Zhizhi pointed to the contents of her basket and said excitedly, "You sent so many lychees the day before yesterday, so I tried making some ice cream with them. There are two kinds: popsicles and slush."

Looking at the ice cream in the basket, Zhao Yunjin felt a warmth in his heart. Just as he was about to instruct Zhao Yi to put the ice cream in the ice cellar, he suddenly noticed that Yu Zhizhi seemed to want to say something but hesitated, so he asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Yu Zhizhi gave an awkward yet smiling look, scratched her head, and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Um... would you mind if I took one to try? It's terribly hot, and my throat is a bit dry."

After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the ice cream, her eyes revealing longing.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunjin's lips curled up slightly, and her expression softened considerably: "Take it."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi immediately picked up an ice cream, tore open the oil paper bag, took a big bite, and smiled contentedly as she savored the cool and sweet taste.

At the same time, she also warmly invited Zhao Yunjin beside her, "Sixth Prince, please come and have a taste. Don't be shy, treat this place like your own home."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had said the wrong thing, and an embarrassed blush immediately appeared on her face. She couldn't help but spit out a curse.

"Oh dear, you're talking too fast."

"Hehe! This lychee is indeed a rare delicacy. Not only does it taste good, but even when made into ice cream, the fragrance of the lychee remains."

Zhao Yunjin couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at her overly familiar demeanor.

This stunned Zhao Yi and Zhao San, who were standing not far away.

It's rare for the master to smile at a woman, and the smile is so natural.

While eating her ice cream, Yu Zhizhi observed Zhao Yunjin sitting opposite her. Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, she told him the purpose of her visit.

"I'm not trying to delay. Give me eight more days, and I'll definitely find a way to completely remove your scar."

As long as nothing goes wrong with this stall, she's confident she'll get the miracle cure as a reward.

Zhao Yunjin didn't miss the little gestures she made when she glanced at Zhao Yi before she said those words.

"I'm not pressuring you. Just keep this in mind."

Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She grinned and immediately assured him, "Don't worry! I've kept this in mind all the time."

After finishing her ice cream, Zhao Yunjin gracefully wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, then casually asked, "You haven't been out setting up your stall these past few days? Don't you plan to sell ice cream anymore?"

Yu Zhizhi nodded and replied with a smile, "I plan to sell some other things and give them to you later. However, the things I'm selling this time are all related to women, so you probably won't need them. But you can give them to your sweetheart."

She was about to add: "Or you could give it to your family."

But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yunjin interrupted him.

His gaze was intense, fixed on her intently. Though his face was expressionless, his voice was deep and magnetic: "I don't have anyone I love yet. If I do, I will tell you immediately."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but mutter to herself: Heh! We're just ordinary friends, there's no need to tell me right away. I'm not that important, and I can't afford to be.

Suddenly remembering something, Yu Zhizhi looked at him seriously and asked, "I heard that your Procuratorate is also responsible for investigating and interrogating the bizarre murder case on Jinghe Street. Is there any hope of solving the case within five days?"

If the case is solved before she sets up her stall, the difficulty of setting up the stall will be greatly reduced.

Zhao Yunjin hadn't expected her to care about these things. She raised an eyebrow and said slowly, "This case is quite complicated. We will try our best to solve it as soon as possible."

Yu Zhizhi smiled and said, "That's good. Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all, this is the duty of our Censorate."
