Chapter 159:  Chapter 157 Lovesickness Turns to Ashes: The Past Can’t Be Chased (Part 4)

Nan Tianzong’s heart was also filled with mixed emotions. For these days, Liu Sisi hadn’t come over, and there were countless assumptions in his heart.

Tonnes of times, he had thought about barging into her home directly to snatch her from his arms. Yet when that stubborn little face appeared in his mind, he hesitated again.

He could see clearly that this little woman had no feelings for him at all, but he was falling deeper and deeper with every passing day.

He felt like he had become another person, eager to see her, yet afraid of seeing her, struggling each day amidst the conflict between his emotions and reason.

But when he saw her reappear, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

His chaotic thoughts jumbled into a pot of porridge, and with the shop bustling at the moment, he took the opportunity to sort out his thoughts.

Forget it!

It was good enough being her big brother!

“I am fine. By the way! How are you? You’ve been busy all morning, are you tired?”

Nan Tianzong naturally dodged the incident just now.

“You’re right, I’m really tired. And not only tired, I’m also hungry.”

Liu Sisi pressed her little stomach as well.

She had been spoiled by Di Yelei these days, with her meals all irregular.

Her appetite was brought up by him, and her originally small stomach now could not eat much of anything, so she ate several meals a day instead.

After considering for a moment, Nan Tianzong showed a gentle smile, “Aunt Cao’s stall should have closed by now. Why don’t we close our shop and go to the restaurant for a meal? Anyway, today’s business is good, we made a little profit.”

“…He’sTavern?”

Liu Sisi instinctively rejected the idea. Although she knew she had nothing to do with the owner of that tavern, sitting in that tavern for a meal would probably make her stomach hurt.

“Of course not. We will go to Juxian Restaurant, the one directly opposite to He’s Tavern.”

Nan Tianzong mysteriously said, “That’s right, I heard that Juxian Restaurant has just hired a new chef, who is very skilled. By noon, there won’t be an empty seat in the entire restaurant. Let’s go to taste his cooking.”

Liu Sisi immediately became interested after hearing this: “Alright! But I’ll treat you today as a token of my gratitude for your help.”

Nan Tianzong raised an eyebrow!

“It’s hard for you to remember that. Fine! You treat me, then. Wait for me a moment, I’ll close the door and we’ll go.”

Nan Tianzong left in a hurry, quickly closed the shop door, and led Liu Sisi to Juxian Restaurant.

It turned out that Juxian Restaurant was indeed thriving. At this moment, it was the end of noontime, and there was still not an empty seat in the restaurant.

“Waiter! Are there any seats available?”

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Nan Tianzong asked the waiter.

The waiter replied without hesitation: “There are, but sir, only Room A is left empty, and the minimum consumption in there is 10 taels of silver. What do the both of you think… ”

10 taels of silver?

Liu Sisi was shocked! She only earned 500 silver coins a month at the bookstore – although there were some tips as well.

But the minimum consumption in a room was 10 taels of silver. Is the cost of living in this small town this high?
