Chapter 64 Leaving
Shen Yuqing did not sleep well that night. Maybe it was because he had used too much mental energy with Shuang Bei, which resulted in him occasionally hearing Ye Yunhao's screams in his sleep.
"The shopkeeper is awake." Looking at Shen Yuqing coming down the stairs, Li Fuchun, holding a plate of pickled vegetables, said with a smile, "Wait a little longer, the porridge will be ready soon."
Shen Yuqing nodded slightly, and after sitting down at the dining table, his eyes naturally fell on the two people in the lobby.
He didn't sleep well that night, and Louqi was no exception. However, Louqi usually had a face that was too pale, so he couldn't tell anything. But what surprised him was that Yan Qin also got up very early today, and was quite interested in teasing Zhaocai with the tassels on his purse.
The man and the dog seemed to be in particularly good harmony, but after Shen Yuqing appeared, Zhaocai's eyes were no longer on the tassel that he could never catch, but he ran towards Shen Yuqing with his short legs. Yan Jiu, who was left behind, smiled helplessly, and said with a bit of resentment in his tone, "You little heartless thing."
It was obvious that the brief feeding in the past few days was not enough to shake Shen Yuqing's position in Zhaocai's heart. Although Yan Qin said so, he looked at Shen Yuqing without blinking. This resentful look made Shen Yuqing look like a treacherous man.
Lou Qi, who had been standing there in a daze, also took some action. He naturally sat down next to Shen Yuqing. Yan Qin raised his eyebrows without any surprise, as if he was already used to it, and then sat down opposite the two of them.
After Li Fuchun brought the porridge, Zhaocai, who had been lying obediently beside Shen Yuqing's feet, immediately wagged his tail. It seemed that he also knew the importance of the chef.
Just like a magic trick, a wooden bowl with Zhaocai's name engraved on it appeared in Li Fuchun's hand. Smelling the aroma of the food, Zhaocai couldn't help but whimpering a few times. His silly and cute look made everyone smile.
Today Li Fuchun made crab and shrimp porridge. River crabs are the fattest in autumn and they whet one's appetite.
"It's okay for Master Yan to stay a little longer."
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuqing heard the news that the other party was leaving just after breakfast. She didn't know if it was because of the busy autumn harvest, but the inn hadn't had any guests for a long time. Now the only guest was leaving, which made the inn feel a bit depressing.
"I've been away from home for a long time, so my family is inevitably a little worried." Yan Qin's tone seemed to fade a little when he mentioned his family, but after meeting Shen Yuqing's gaze, his tone became much more enthusiastic, "If there is a chance in the future, Yan will definitely stay longer."
In this case, Shen Yuqing couldn't try to keep him.
"If Shopkeeper Shen wants to go to the capital someday, you can take this item to Yunjinfang so that I can fulfill my duty as a host." As he said this, Yan Fen handed Shen Yuqing a jade pendant engraved with a lotus pattern.
Yan Fan's words revealed a lot of information. Whether intentional or unintentional, they all represented the specialness of Shen Yuqing in his heart.
Shen Yuqing took the jade pendant. The black jade felt slightly cold. He curled his fingers awkwardly, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing Shen Yuqing's smile as he agreed, Yan Lin avoided her gaze. He looked at Lou Qi beside him and said, "Do you want to go to the capital with me and stay there for a few days? Anyway, Manager Shen won't run away from here."
Louqi: “No.”
Yan Qin was not surprised by the other party's answer. Instead, he said jokingly, "It's okay. Don't worry about getting lost. I will ask someone to send you back to Manager Shen in good condition."
Abandoned: Stare...
The abandoned sense of direction brought Shen Yuqing a whole new experience. Although they were all the same person, after the mental power was divided into pieces and integrated into different bodies, these bodies would more or less have some minor defects, but it was precisely because of this that they became more real.
As Shen Yuqing thought this, his expression became softer. In the sunlight, his eyes took on a clearer amber color, like honey that could dispel all bitterness.
Just by casually looking at each other, Yan Qin was inevitably attracted. He thought that he would never be able to resist such a gentle look with a faint smile in his life.
As early as the first meeting with Lou Qi, the other party had praised his eyes. He usually didn't like such compliments, not to mention that the other party seemed to see that he was looking at someone else. This was simply touching all of Yan Qin's taboos. Maybe he was so angry that he laughed, or maybe he was curious about who else could have the same eyes, so he put away the malice in his heart and put on that layer of human skin again.
Then, by coincidence, he was rescued by the other party, and successfully met the owner of those eyes. There are too many people with similar eyebrows and eyes in the world, but only a few are so similar. Perhaps such gentleness cannot be faked, so they are so similar.
If he hadn't known that he was the only child of his mother, Yan Jin would have thought that he was going to have a brother when he saw Shen Yuqing for the first time. However, if you say that the two are similar, they are not that similar. But if you have met these two people, you can't say that they are not similar.
So, in just that instant, Yan Qin regretted it.
"The capital is prosperous, but there are also many demons and monsters. They like delicate and handsome young men like Manager Shen the most, so it is better for Manager Shen not to go." Yan Li's words were contradictory, and his tone was true and false, like the tone of coaxing a child. However, despite saying so, he did not take back the jade pendant.
Shen Yuqing tilted her head slightly, as if she was digesting Yan Fan's words. Yan Fan suddenly felt annoyed, fearing that in the eyes of Manager Shen, she had become a strange person.
In response, Shen Yuqing neither agreed nor refuted, but simply replied: "Then Master Yan, please protect me well."
Yan Qin's mood suddenly changed from gloomy to bright, "This is natural."
Before leaving, Yan Li glanced meaningfully at Louqi, who was standing like a wooden man. The man had known Manager Shen for a long time, but he had made no progress in communicating with others. If he didn't know that he was seeing him off, the sight of him staring at him with his black and white eyes would inevitably make people feel uneasy.
Deep in the woods, the carriage slowly stopped. Ying Qi, dressed in black, had been waiting there for a long time.
"Yingqi, do you think he looks like him?" Yan Qin seemed to be muttering to himself.
Ying Qi, who was holding the reins, paused, "I have only seen the Madam once from a distance..."
"Oh....."
Before Ying Qi could finish speaking, he heard Yan Qin's ambiguous laughter.
Yan Feng had no intention of making things difficult for Ying Qi, it was just that life these past few days had been too wonderful, so wonderful that it felt real to him. Thinking of the smiling shopkeeper, Yan Feng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Go check this inn again."
"yes."
Yan Qin still had that smiling look on his face, with dark colors surging in his peach blossom eyes, revealing a frightening indifference.
