Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 30: Danger in the Restaurant

In an era where material wealth was not yet abundant, McDonalds and KFC, which frequently appeared in TV advertisents, can be said to be the most revered food temples in the hearts of many children.

Their hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, and even small toys all seed very high-end. Children would often yearn to visit a big city just to taste the flavors of KFC and McDonalds.

However, Xia Yuan never had the opportunity to do so. These foods, which her mother considered junk food, were treated as prohibited items at ho, just like candy and gas.

Xia Yuan only had the chance to experience these pleasures when she was with i Fang.

In fact, upon careful consideration, Xia Yuans childhood life was not particularly happy when she wasnt with i Fang.

In order to prevent this child from having any regrets about her childhood, i Fang naturally wanted to fulfill Xia Yuans wishes.

In a ti without navigation apps, finding directions was not convenient. Fortunately, i Fang had previously attended university in Jiangcheng, and they could buy a tourist map at the convenience store in the train station. They quickly located a nearby KFC restaurant that was within walking distance.

i Fang walked ahead, pulling a small suitcase, while Xia Yuan followed closely by his side. She intentionally lowered her hat and looked around. Seeing that no one paid attention to them, she whispered to i Fang.

My mom always tells that there are many bad people near the train station and not to wander around. But it seems like no one is paying attention to us.

Thats just because we got lucky this ti. Your mom is actually right.

i Fang said seriously, So, dont let your guard down and dont wander around.

Okay!

Xia Yuan nodded vigorously and then linked her arm with i Fangs, saying, Is this okay? This way, I wont get lost from you.

Alright.

This girl

i Fang brought Xia Yuan into the KFC restaurant. It was lunchti, and there were many people lining up to order. Xia Yuan looked at the colorful array of dishes on the KFC nu and felt a bit overwheld.

What do you want to eat?

First, a hamburger! I want to eat um the Crispy Chicken Burger! But the combo seems like a good deal the toy in the kids al also seems nice, but it doesnt co with a hamburger

Seeing Xia Yuan struggling to make a decision, i Fang decided for her, Ill help you order. You go find a seat first.

Okay

Xia Yuan pushed her suitcase and looked around. She found a seat at a small table next to the KFC Kids Playground.

Seeing Xia Yuan sitting down safely, i Fang stopped staring at her and focused on the nu, contemplating the changes that were gradually happening to Xia Yuan.

The argunt between her parents seed to have had so impact on Xia Yuan. She used to trust her mother unconditionally, but now she started to question so of her teachings.

These doubts may have silently ford in her mind a long ti ago, but they had not been expressed due to various factors.

i Fang began to worry that the promise he made to spoil Xia Yuan might have beco the cause of her awakening rebelliousness.

It is true that blindly following her parents arrangents does not lead to growth.

However, going from one extre to another, opposing her parents just for the sake of opposing them, is not a solution either.

Fortunately, she still trusts . In order not to betray this trust, I also have an obligation not to lead her towards extres

While i Fang was contemplating, Xia Yuan was sitting with her chin in her hands, swinging her legs, waiting for the al with boredom. At this mont, a middle-aged man with glasses sitting next to her suddenly struck up a conversation.

Little sister, are you alone? Are you having a al with your mom?

Xia Yuan shook her head, Im with my brother.

i Fang and Xia Yuan had set their outing as siblings, and Xia Yuan firmly rembered this.

Who is your brother?

Well hes the one in front

Xia Yuan just pointed out i Fang, who was in line, when she suddenly realized that sothing was not quite right.

Why is this uncle asking about this?

Oh, I see.

The middle-aged man with glasses smiled, Uncle ordered too much sundae and cant finish it. Since youre waiting for your brother to order, how about I give this to you?

Xia Yuan shook her head and waved her hand, No need, uncle. My brother also bought a sundae.

Great, since your brother hasnt arrived yet, Ill go tell him not to order, so you can save so money, right?

Um

While Xia Yuan was struggling with how to respond, the uncle had already handed over the sundae and placed it on her table.

Dont be polite, I just bought it and really cant finish it.

Saying that, the man with glasses was about to get up and greet i Fang, but at this mont, i Fang, who was still in line, had already walked over.

Uncle, do you have sothing to say to my sister?

Haha, your sister was waiting alone and bored, so I just chatted with her.

The middle-aged man with glasses smiled, You two little ones ca here alone to buy hamburgers, carrying suitcases. Be careful of bad people.

My mom and grandma are shopping at the mall now, they will co find us soon. Were just helping to watch the luggage, no need to worry, uncle.

You should go line up quickly. You dont need to buy the strawberry sundae anymore. I cant finish it, so Ill give it to your sister.

Thank you, uncle. I appreciate your kindness, but you should eat it yourself. My sister is allergic to strawberries, so she wont eat the strawberry sundae.

Are you afraid that Im a bad person? Haha! Its normal to worry about that Its okay, Im leaving now. Enjoy your al.

The man said and left the restaurant, leaving the strawberry sundae on Xia Yuans table.

Without hesitation, i Fang took the sundae and threw it into the trash can.

After turning around, he solemnly said to Xia Yuan, What did I tell you when we went out? Dont talk to strangers.

But uncle doesnt seem like a bad person. I think he was just worried about being alone and carrying a suitcase

i Fang shook his head. Regardless of whether he is good or bad, we must follow our agreent before going out. I have to protect you.

I I understand.

Xia Yuan nodded vigorously, promising not to speak to strangers anymore.

i Fang bought a combo al from KFC, including a childrens al with toys that Xia Yuan liked, which consisted of popcorn chicken, small fries, and cola, as well as a portion of original recipe chicken and two discontinued country crispy chicken burgers. The unpleasant incident before the al was quickly forgotten in the face of delicious food.

Do we dip the chicken nuggets in this sauce Mmm Its so delicious!

i Fang, try these fries! Theyre so good!

The burger is so big! If I knew there would be so much, we should have just ordered one.

i Fang had often suspected that KFCs burgers were getting smaller and smaller, but even after buying another one today, he vaguely felt that the portion was not much different from his previous life.

Could it be that his hands and appetite had simply grown bigger?

Xia Yuan and i Fang had a great ti at KFC.

After eating their fill, they looked at the map together and started to confirm the route to Grandmas house.

Let see I rember we should take bus 901 and then transfer to 304 to get there directly.

For bus 901, its marked on the map. We just need to go to the bus stop ahead.

i Fang pointed out the direction of the bus stop to Xia Yuan, but his gaze paused in a certain direction, and his expression imdiately beca serious.

Whats wrong? i Fang

Dont look around! Just glance to your right, towards the direction of the cake shop.

Following i Fangs gaze, Xia Yuans whole body trembled involuntarily.

At this mont, i Fang also held her hand tightly.

The middle-aged man with glasses who had struck up a conversation with her earlier was now standing at the entrance of the cake shop, reading a newspaper.

He hadnt left.
