On Saturday li Precinct No one had been to her aparthtly shut, the sills and furniture were still covered with a fine layer of dust Gu Nianzhi was content with that The apart just anyone in, even if they were just part-ti her suitcase and laptop bag away, she walked into the kitchen, found a clean piece of cloth, and started cleaning up her apartment meticulously First, she wiped off the layer of dust with a dry cloth Then, she wiped it down again ipes and disinfected the area at the same time By the time she had cleaned up a few rooms and made sure that they were spick and span, three hours had passed
She could not even stand up straight Gu Nianzhi threw herself onto the bouncy corner sofa and laid on her back She covered her eyes with one ar tiht her breath, her sto her belly, she sat up from the sofa and remembered that she did not quite kno to cook…
She was going to be alone at the apartment for two days How should dinner be settled? There were only bottles of water in the fridge and no food at all There ht just be some rice stored in the kitchen cabinet but besides that, there was nothing else to eat
She could go out to buy groceries, order food for delivery, or eat out After weighing her options for a while, she roceries hoo to waste? Ordering food for delivery on the other hand would be cuiven the number of uncontrollable factors involved and was not a suitable choice for her at the moment Besides, she would only be able to introduce orithm if she went outa sly srabbed her s a fox-like smile She quickly smoothed the corners of her lips, toned down her s one
Exiting the apartment, Gu Nianzhi entered the elevator, pressed the buttons, and went straight down to the ground level At the ti the apartment In fact, she was the only one who did so She zoned out looking into the mirror in the elevator The elevator was an iot out of the elevator, she had already calculated the probability of there being an elevator mishap If she were Ishi+hara Taro, she would definitely not let go of the elevator as an opportunity to strike The elevatorfroli Precinct, there was a quiet pathway If one walked through the pathway, continued straight ahead, turned left, then walked forward for about another 200 meters, there would be a coee stalls that operated only in thesu was available there The place was a paradise for people like Gu Nianzhi who possessed terrible culinary skills
Gu Nianzhi went into a few stalls at randoht a basket of soup due Then she saw thick, crispy Chinese crullers being sold and could not resist buying a stick of theht a bowl of salted bean curd and packed everything into food containers as takeout
After walking down the street, she realized that what she bought was food for breakfast, but it was already noon Gu Nianzhi stopped walking and found an expensive looking restaurant She went in, ordered a few dishes, and sat by theas she stared blankly at the scenery outside
There was a colored pebbled sidewalk outside and planted along the sideere parasol trees All the leaves on the parasol trees had fallen off as it inter, leaving only bare branches on the trees Further ahead was the h it inter, the traffic was still heavy, and the streets were still bustling with life
A sreen shrub was planted underneath the sills It re winter On Christmas, it could double as a hts
There were not aze outside for long before two people pushed open the doors and came into the restaurant They looked like a couple They then sat somewhere near Gu Nianzhi They sat close to each other with their heads huddled together as they whispered intilanced from the corners of their eyes at Gu Nianzhi so often, she would really have believed that they were a couple…
Soon, the dishes she ordered were served There was a plate of golden yellow caramelized bananas that she planned to eat for dessert, a dish made up of tender, milky clam meat in clear broth, a dish of minced sautéed soft tofu that had a pale yellow color to it, and a bowl of fragrant Thai rice They were set down on the table, piping hot Incredibly famished, Gu Nianzhi focused on the dishes in front of her
Everyone in the restaurant noticed her, the girl by the ho looked about 18 or 19 They sa she ate with gusto, and it really whetted their appetite They also wondered about the wonderful spread she was having While there were notsize to feed two ed to clean her plate
Insatiable, she stared at the e to lick the plates clean The chef was so glad upon seeing this that he kept rubbing his palether That custo more pleasant to a chef than this
In his ot someone to pass Gu Nianzhi a 20 percent discount card and said that as long as she caet a 20 percent discount, which would be effective for life Gu Nianzhi did not expect that she would get so lucky just by having lunch and s the shape of crescent h she was born beautiful, when she was younger, her looks were more on the cute side As an adult now, her eyes exuded a entle and delicate charm She smiled innocently at the waiter, and this ht and beautiful like the first snow on plum blossoms in winter Underneath the pure white snoas a cri
“Thank you so much” Gu Nianzhi accepted the 20 percent discount card She then wrote a 20 percent tip on the bill, effectively returning almost all of the discounted amount
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head The waiter could not see her face but still felt dazzled by her Although they were at the restaurant, he felt like they were at a garden What he saas breathtaking and was like a scene out of a dream He held onto both the card and bill, returned to the checkout counter, and caradually
Gu Nianzhi was completely unaware of all that She packed up and waited for the waiter to return her the card Her gaze was still fixed on the sidewalk outside During her meal, she counted that there were about 98 people alked by the sidewalk outside theOf these 98 people, she wondered how many of them were residents of the place and how many of them were just people in transit All of this would affect the algorithm
The waiter came back and returned the card to Gu Nianzhi, then e and said, “Our restaurant has invited a chef from overseas to come by for a food exhibition tomorrow Miss, if you are free and available, please do coenerous the crew of the restaurant was, and since the food was to her liking, she accepted the offer unreservedly “Sure, I will be here again tomorrow Thank you, handsome”
The waiter turned red at what she blurted out casually and walked her out personally He even helped her with the curtain at the entrance and pushed the door open for her
When she returned to the aparterator and planned to finish thes She would have some at supper and some for breakfast the next day
Even if she were to stroll the streets every day, she only wanted to get out of the apartment once She was actually too lazy to do otherwise And so, Saturday passed by just like that
