Chapter 392: Advice! (1/2)

“I don’t mind, but I want to know whether it’s you or the Third Prince who’s looking for me.” Bai Xiaofei’s eyes grew sharp as he closely scrutinized the mysterious man.

“Is there a difference?” asked the man, his doubt clear in his voice.

“Of course there is,” asserted Bai Xiaofei as he smiled.

“What if I said it was me looking for you?” The man gave an ambiguous answer.

“Choose a place to talk.” That answer was enough for Bai Xiaofei, who decided to put away his plan to hang around the city. If this played out as he expected, the opportunity he had waited for was here!

Following the lead of the mysterious man, the two arrived at a remote noodle restaurant with only three tables. The shop owner was an uncle with one arm, and the helper was a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old.

“Boss, two bowls of plain noodles.” The mysterious man took off his hood, revealing an approachable uncle’s face, with sparse stubble that made him look a bit worn-out.

“I didn’t expect a handsome uncle, I thought there was something unsightly that needed to be hidden.” Bai Xiaofei sighed with surprise before turning to the shop owner. “Add four more bowls please, two is not enough.”

Since we’re eating, we should at least have enough to feel something in my stomach, right? Not to mention there’s this uncle too…

“Oh? Is that the vibe I give people? No wonder I’m always unpopular with girls. Seems like I have to reduce wearing a hood in the future. I even thought it looked cool.” The mysterious uncle laughed.

From an outsider’s point of view, they were like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

“Uncle, I still don’t know your name yet, but you already know mine,” Bai Xiaofei asked a seemingly insignificant question, but the expectation in his eyes was far from the case.

“Names are just a label. You can just call me uncle.” Uncle chose not to answer.

“Further communication between us is impossible then. Your treat will be in vain.” His hands folding in front of his chest, Bai Xiaofei looked like he would not say another word.

“Your noodles!” Amidst the silence, the little girl and the shop owner came up with a tray. Six noodle bowls were set on the table one by one. “This is a side dish, please enjoy.”

The amount of noodles was sufficient, the shop owner was particularly enthusiastic, and the little girl was well-behaved and lovely.

“Thank you.” Giving them his thanks, Bai Xiaofei gave two bowls to Huskie and Blackie, then picked up his chopsticks and started the performance.

While Uncle was still in a daze, Bai Xiaofei had already finished two bowls and was pulling the third towards himself.

No wonder you wanted more. You can eat ten bowls at this rate!

“He Tian, my name,” Uncle slowly said. Bai Xiaofei revealed a smile.

“Now that’s how you do it. Bai Xiaofei, nice to meet you.” Swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Bai Xiaofei extended his right hand and looked at He Tian expectantly.

He Tian sighed. He extended his hand as well and gave a gentle shake.
