C39 (1/2)
Beside the restaurant, a young man carefully examined his appearance and took out a few coins. He carefully handed them to the woman and bought her some pastries.
The young man seemed to be a regular customer, and after he had finished buying, he stayed there to chat for a while, waiting until there were more people around before he left.
Yuwen Fei loosened his grip on Huai Jin's hands, hands behind his back, and walked out of the Mianan Temple in large steps. Before he left, he spoke to Huai Jin: ”Let's go! I'll bring you to eat Wang Po's noodles! ”
”Wang Po! I'm coming to eat the noodles! ” Separated by a long distance, Yuwen Fei shouted towards the inside.
The two of them happened to be in the right place. Just as they arrived at the noodle stall, a customer paid the bill and left. Yuwen Fei lifted his robe and used his movement technique, he was one step faster than the people beside him, and immediately took over the position. After sitting down, he ignored the dirt on his sleeves and leaned towards the table, giving a provocative raise of his eyebrows to the people behind him.
”Wang Po, look, he's here to snatch another seat.” The man pointed at Yuwen Fei and smiled to Wang Po.
An old woman stuck her head out from behind the stove, and with a spoon in her hand, she knocked on that person's head. ”You little brat, you don't have the ability to snatch a seat. Come here and chew the root!”
There was a commotion. The person waved his hand bitterly and retreated to the side, waiting for his seat.
Yuwen Fei patted the stool beside him, indicating that Huai Jin should sit, Wang Po came out from behind and took the tableware from the table, and brought out two bowls of Yang Spring Noodle Soup. He then placed them on the table, with his old eyes looking at Huai Jin teasingly.
Huai Jin frowned, she sat beside Yuwen Fei with her back facing that pair of eyes.
Yuwen Fei looked at Huai Jin with a ridiculing smile and said to Wang Po: ”Wang Po, stop looking! I know you can't catch up to my master and you're jealous of me! ”
The crowd burst into laughter once again. Some people also joined in and made a ruckus.
The matter regarding the Wang Po and Mr. Dong Li had already become nothing new in the ears of these regular customers. At that time, when Mr. Dong Li had just entered the capital and was in a state of poverty, it was the Wang Po who had helped him.
Afterwards, after Mr. Dong Li had gained some fame in the capital, he remembered his savior and came to Wang Po. Unexpectedly, after Mr. Dong Li found Wang Po, the Wang Po forced him to marry herself. When Mr. Dong Li refused to obey, Wang Po chased after him down two streets, but was forced to accept the marriage due to helplessness. However, ever since Mr. Dong Li offended the Emperor and left the capital seven years ago, the marriage agreement between the two of them had always been on the tip of the iceberg.
He was supposed to be a prince, so after returning to the capital, he should have gone into the palace to pay respects to the Emperor. However, he left the team sent by the Emperor to welcome him and went to the Wang Po to eat some noodles.
It was also from that day onwards that the worried face of the Wang Po regained her usual smile. Her fiery appearance reminded her of the time when she chased after Mr. Dong Li with a spoon across two streets.
Seeing Yuwen Fei teasing her like that, Wang Po blushed a little, and threw a pair of chopsticks straight at Yuwen Fei.
Yuwen Fei turned around and caught the chopsticks, then laughed: ”Thank you, Wang Po.” He turned around and asked Huai Jin, ”Do you eat scallion flowers?”
Other than the dessert, Huai Jin did not pick any other dishes. She nodded, picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat, when she saw a pair of chopsticks filled with green onions sprinkle into Huai Jin's bowl.
