Chapter 1605: Chapter 1612: An Encounter in Qing County (2)
Shen Juhua “tsk”ed dismissively, saying, “So what if it shows? Look at , Miss, am I missing a strand of hair or a piece of at, hmm?”
After saying that, she leaned her slightly chubby baby face closer, almost sticking it to Xiao Kui’s face.
Xiao Kui said helplessly, “Then you eat quickly, if we go back late, Madam will scold us…”
“Hehe, rest assured, with here, Mother won’t make things difficult for you!”
As they spoke, Juhua had already filled a small basket with cabbage and handed the basket behind the counter. With a smile, she said to the elder behind the counter, “Uncle, please cook a big sea bowl of noodles for , add more chili and pepper, just a little sesa sauce…”
Seeing Xiao Kui still frowning and standing there dazed, Juhua threatened fiercely, “Hurry and pick your vegetables, or once I finish mine, I’ll snatch yours to eat.”
Startled, Xiao Kui quickly lowered her head and started picking vegetables into her small basket…
After intimidating the girl, Juhua turned around and walked towards her seat. After a few steps, she suddenly noticed a stranger looking fixedly at her, a man she had just seen at the temple gate. Tall and handso, with a lonely and desolate appearance, although he stared at her, he didn’t seem like a bad guy.
Juhua was taken aback, touched her face, wondering if there was sothing black on it, as this man had been staring at her dumbly at the temple gate, and now was using that sa gaze again. Was there sothing wrong with her face?
Upon seeing her look over, Mo Zili hastily turned his eyes away, turning his head with a hint of panic.
At first sight, he thought she looked a bit like her, both having slightly chubby baby round faces, big round eyes, and slightly upturned noses. Their figures and builds were similar, as was their age.
After hearing about her way of handling things, he found their personalities even more alike, both being lively and cheerful, so cute!
Xiao Kui finished picking her vegetables, handed the vegetable basket to the counter, and said, “Uncle, a small bowl of hand-pulled noodles for , not too spicy.” After speaking, she took out her purse and carefully counted out thirty copper coins, placing them on the counter.
When she turned around, she sharply noticed Mo Zili standing aside, seeing him again staring at Miss, she imdiately beca alert, gave him a fierce glare, quickly walked over to Juhua’s table, and whispered, “Miss, did you see that person? He’s the guy we just saw at the temple gate, he must have followed us here, look, he’s staring at you now, maybe he’s up to sothing, should I go out and call soone?”
Juhua rubbed her forehead and said, “Xiao Kui, whether it’s the temple or here, they’re all public places, not our mansion. We can leave, and so can people. As long as they don’t say anything excessive to us, you don’t have to panic. What’s more, I’m not Cai Wei, nor do I have a nation-falling beauty’s appearance, no one would have bad intentions towards !”
Their voices were low, but Mo Zili, being a martial arts practitioner, had sharper hearing than usual people. Besides, he was intentionally eavesdropping on their conversation, so every word reached his ears.
To avoid their suspicion, Mo Zili averted his gaze, imitating her earlier actions, and picked up the bamboo tongs and small bamboo basket hanging above the counter to grab the cabbage placed on the counter. The counter was connected to the kitchen, separated by a curtain, which was lifted. A kind-looking aunt ca out of the kitchen, holding a huge bowl in her hand, calling out, “Miss Shen, your noodles are ready!”
