Su Qing felt comfortable as she smelled the rich aroma of coffee. She and Yan Luo sat in a corner, looking out at the bustling traffic and crowds through the glass wall, and gradually relaxed.
Nangong was carrying a tray with a small cake and three cups of coffee on it.
It's not unreasonable for the boss to have a drink himself, is it?
After placing the cake and coffee on the table, Nangong obsessively put the tray back before sitting down.
Su Qing looked at her blood-red eyes and couldn't help but admire them.
"Miss Nangong, your eye color is very beautiful."
“I know a friend who has the same eye color as you.”
Nangong picked up his coffee cup and smiled.
"Yeah?"
"Then you can come with her for coffee next time."
Su Qing nodded with a smile.
"Come on, try my new cake, it's salted cream, see if it's good."
Nangong gestured for Su Qing to try the small cake in front of her.
After taking a small bite, Su Qing nodded with wide eyes.
"It's delicious!"
Su Qing used a fork to put a small piece of cake to Yan Luo's mouth, and Yan Luo ate it.
"It's delicious, Sister Nangong, your cooking is really good."
Nangong smiled.
"Your grandpa,"
Nangong immediately realized what was happening and quickly changed his words.
"If it's delicious, I made a little extra this morning. I had a feeling you'd be coming today, so I brought some back for my family to try."
In fact, Nangong makes extra every day, and if he can't finish it, he shares it with the surrounding merchants or throws it away.
She's a ghoul, so I can't eat her. If I bring her home, the house is full of ghouls, so I can't eat her either.
Yanluo nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, I will pay the price."
"Don't be shy, I'm more than happy that you're sharing this cake with me."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's no big deal. Come over for coffee more often and bring your family. It's too quiet here."
"No problem, we'll come often."
As cold air gradually invades Guangdong Province, enjoying a hot cup of coffee on such a chilly afternoon is quite pleasant.
After saying goodbye to Nangong, Yanluo led Su Qing away from the shop.
Nangong put his glasses back on, sat at the bar, and held a book in his hands.
The book is titled "The Undying Loneliness," and it tells the fantasy story of a woman who was transformed into a vampire and lived for countless years.
This resonated deeply with Nangong.
She still had a dream in this world. Having died once, she didn't want to experience death again. She wanted to turn all the people of Longxia into ghouls so that she wouldn't be alone and everyone could live together in the sunlight.
Unfortunately, the food problem remains unresolved. Ghouls eat people, but there will eventually be a day when all the people are gone.
Nangong possessed a secret technique that could turn the dead into corpses with 100% success rate, which is why she returned to Lancheng to find Chu Ying.
Chu Ying had a good relationship with Yan Wuxie and Xu Yang's grandfather, Xu Nian, so as his sister-in-law, she naturally had to take care of her brother-in-law.
If the food problem is ever solved, Nangong will kill all the Longxia people and turn them all into ghouls.
This was Nangong's grand plan.
The road ahead is difficult and will take a long time, but the people she has assigned are doing their best to find a solution to the food problem and have made some progress.
Nangong placed an exquisite bookmark on the page, slowly closed the book, and placed it on the table.
She picked up a photo frame placed to the side. On it was a very old photo, not in color but in black and white. The photo showed a handsome man with long hair, his gaze gentle yet sharp. Beside him was a very beautiful woman who looked very refined.
The man is her husband, Yan Wuxie, and the woman is herself.
Nangong gently stroked the photo and murmured.
"That child looks a lot like you. Seeing him reminds me of you."
"Don't blame me. I don't want to die. That excruciating pain has tormented me for so long. I'm still so young, yet I'm being tortured to death. I'm not willing to accept it."
"There are so many things I haven't seen, so many sights I haven't witnessed in person."
"A-Xie, forgive my selfishness."
Back then, after Yanfei, Yanluo's father, was born, Nangong contracted an extremely rare disease. It was a hereditary disease of the family, a curse unique to the Nangong family. She had to endure great pain every day, and she died in excruciating pain.
Transformed into the monster her husband hated most, Nangong left her husband's hometown and even Longxia. Until Yan Wuxie's death, she dared not face him.
This made Nangong's thinking even more obsessive. She yearned for the fulfillment of her long-cherished wish to fill the void in her heart.
It's worth any price to pay.
Yanluo and Suqing returned home first. It was still early, and the girls hadn't finished class yet.
I'll bring the cake back and let Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci try it.
Little Baby and Chi Miaomiao are back too, perfect for after-school snacks.
Shang Xinci dipped a fork into the cream and ate it. The silky, smooth, and sweet flavor surprised her. Although her expression didn't change much, Yanluo still caught the joy in her eyes.
Yanluo asked her with a smile.
"Is it tasty?"
Shang Xinci looked at him and nodded.
"Good."
Su Qing and Tu Yi'er were snuggling together, and Su Qing fed the little baby cake bit by bit.
Tu Yier sat on the sofa, her little feet swinging back and forth. She was wearing a pair of white socks, and her tiny feet looked like precious treasures that people couldn't bear to part with.
As she ate the cake fed to her by her aunt, Tu Yier held her little face and shook her head happily.
"It's so delicious!"
Seeing Tu Yier's soft and sweet appearance, Yan Luo felt completely healed.
Kids are so cute!!
I want to stick them on!!
The familiar time, the familiar place.
NPC Yanluo drove his Alphard to Tu Luoxue's school gate to wait. It has to be said, after driving the pink car for so long, driving this kind of minivan has a unique charm, especially since there are more girls at home now.
Having received the news first, Tu Keke, Man Sui, and Xu Rongyue walked over together. Yan Luo looked at the little pink-haired girl in her uniform and asked.
"Xiaosui, how was your first day of class?"
Man Sui excitedly ran up to Yan Luo and told her about the classes she had attended that day, her feelings about the classes, and the food in the cafeteria.
Seeing how happy the little pink-haired girl was, Yanluo felt relieved.
Children who haven't experienced school beatings are like this: everything seems new and exciting, but they get annoyed after a while.
Tu Keke suddenly remembered that she had left her coat in the classroom, so she said she was going back to get it, and Man Sui followed her and ran over together.
Xiao Neixiang stood there, stunned. She wanted to reach out and say something, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. Seeing the two of them run away, Xu Rongyue had no choice but to put her hand down and lower her head, looking somewhat dejected.
No matter how open-minded you are, you still can't help but think about it.
As a top-notch emotional master, Yan Luo immediately saw what Xu Rongyue was thinking. He reached out and rubbed the little introvert's head.
