Chapter 169 - Uncle Bais Wanton (2/2)
“Huh?” Xu Zhexian smiled and said, “No, when we were not at home, Lele took good care of Tiantian. Everything was handled in an orderly manner…”
“Yes, it’s because of this.”
Shen Hui frowned even more and said, “Lele even opened a shop. He participated in so many competitions. Where did he get his capital from?”
If she continued to probe, there would be no end to it. Xu Zhexian still had a smile on his face as he said, “Didn’t you also win many awards at such a young age? It’s normal for Lele to inherit Mom’s good genes.”
He dismissed the uneasiness in his wife’s heart with a joking tone. Shen Hui nudged him gently and rebuked, “You talk too much.”
The night market closest to the competition venue was extremely popular. It was already past 10pm. There were all kinds of barbecue skewers, spicy hotpot, fried rice, and smelly tofu. There was also a chain of milk tea shops.
Lu Yuxi looked excitedly and said, “I know a particularly delicious wonton shop. Let’s go and eat wontons first.”
Xu Le also knew where the shop she was talking about was. After all, the night market was right beside their university and contained many memories.
“No, I want to eat skewers first.” Li Shengsheng pointed in the opposite direction from Lu Yuxi and said, “Go eat the Three Prawn Noodles.”
Lu Yuxi turned around and glared at him.
Li Shengsheng stiffened his neck and refused to let go.
“Xu Le, let’s go.”
Lu Yuxi led the way and walked into the narrow and dark alley. Xu Le was amused when he saw Li Shengsheng speechless. After a while, the two of them passed through the winding alley and stopped in front of two dark wooden doors.
There were two red lanterns hanging at the door. It could not withstand the wind and rain and its surface had long cracked. The dark yellow bulb inside swayed in the direction of the wind.
“You guys are really disloyal. Why didn’t you wait for me!”
Li Shengsheng caught up from behind. Afraid of the dark, he immediately jumped between the two of them and said, “Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s find Old Bai first.”
“Uncle Bai.”
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, he said at the top of his voice, “Three bowls of wontons. No onions, no chilli oil.”
“Hey, I knew it was you.”
A kind-looking old man walked out from the shadows. Although his face was wrinkled, he looked shrewd and gentle. He smiled and said, “Miss, oh, you must have come often in the past. I know you.”
While chatting, he quickly boiled the big bone soup in the pot.
“Let me tell you, Uncle Bai’s wonton shop is very delicious. Ordinary people can’t find it.”
The low tables were all placed in the courtyard, and the sides were sparsely filled with people. Uncle Bai and his wife were extremely busy.
Li Shengsheng went to the washroom and Xu Le raised his hand. “Boss, I want another xiaolongbao and a serving of fried peanut, salty flavored.”

“Alright!”
After Li Shengsheng returned, Xu Le also got up to wash his hands.
Li Shengsheng said, “When I was studying in the past, I had a very good friend who often came to Uncle Bai’s place for supper in the middle of the night. Everytime, he would order fried peanuts. He was so silly. What’s so good about salty food? Fried peanuts should be sprinkled with white sugar, don’t you think so?”
After he finished speaking, he looked down at the xiaolongbao and fried peanuts Uncle Bai brought over and said hesitantly, “You ordered them?”
Lu Yuxi’s eyelashes trembled, and intense sorrow suddenly surged in her eyes. She waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, but tears rolled down uncontrollably.
