With that, Zhao Jiping hurried away as if escaping, afraid Xiao Yingchun would refuse again.
Xiao Yingchun hadn’t originally planned to eat shrimp. But now, in order not to give herself away later, she had no choice but to eat it.
She ordered a portion of garlic split prawns and a serving of greens. By the time Zhao Jiping brought the chicken soup over, her takeout had just arrived and she was about to start eating.
Zhao Jiping had clearly already eaten. He placed a full bowl of matsutake chicken stew on the small table and warmly urged Xiao Yingchun to try it.
Xiao Yingchun smiled awkwardly, thanking him while also handing him a pair of chopsticks and inviting him to try the shrimp.
Zhao Jiping didn’t refuse. He ate two pieces just to be polite, then sat there smiling as he watched Xiao Yingchun eat.
The old man looked at her with the affectionate gaze of someone looking at his future granddaughter-in-law, which made Xiao Yingchun lose her appetite.
Honestly… who could handle something like this!
After finally waiting for Zhao Jiping to leave, Xiao Yingchun immediately sent Dai Hengxin a message.
“What exactly did you tell your grandpa?”
Dai Hengxin replied, “???”
“He brought me a pot of matsutake chicken soup today! stunned emoji”
Dai Hengxin: “Hahahahaha… He must’ve misunderstood and thought you were my girlfriend. laughing emoji”
Xiao Yingchun almost sounded like she was begging, “Bro, I’m begging you—could you please tell your grandpa not to bring me chicken soup anymore?”
“It’s really awkward for me!”
“My toes were practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment!”
“I couldn’t even taste the food the whole time!”
Dai Hengxin sent a string of laughing emojis and finally replied with three words, “No problem.”
After a while, he added another message to apologize.
“Sorry. My grandpa is just too enthusiastic and impatient. He ended up causing you trouble.”
Xiao Yingchun replied, “Forget it. I’m not going to hold it against an old man…”
After that incident, Xiao Yingchun lost the motivation to keep the shop open. She simply closed the front door. Just as she was about to close the back door, the electronic chime suddenly sounded—
“Welcome.”
She looked up in surprise, only to find a face very close to hers.
It was actually Fu Chen’an who had come in!
Fu Chen’an was wearing a brown brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He seemed to have had a bit of alcohol—his cheeks were slightly flushed, his eyes moist, and when he looked at people, his gaze was a little unfocused, though he still had a faint smile on his face.
Xiao Yingchun’s eyes widened. She stepped back.
“Why did you come at this time? Have you already reached the capital?”
Fu Chen’an shook his head. “Not yet. We’ll reach the capital the day after tomorrow. Today we entered a prefectural city. The local prefect hosted us. They all got drunk, and I pretended to be drunk too before returning to the courtyard.”
Xiao Yingchun quickly stepped aside. “Then let me get you some honey tea?”
“Alright.” Fu Chen’an walked to the round table and sat down, glancing around at the supermarket, which looked noticeably different.
“Does this supermarket look different?”
Xiao Yingchun took out a bottle of honey grapefruit tea. “I’ll heat this up for you… The supermarket was renovated a bit these past few days.”
“Oh…” Fu Chen’an noticed the leftovers on the table. “You haven’t eaten yet?”
Xiao Yingchun heated the grapefruit tea in the microwave and handed it to him, preparing to clear the leftover dishes from the table.
“I’ve eaten already. These are just what I didn’t finish…”
Fu Chen’an suddenly said, “I’m still not full.”
Xiao Yingchun froze, carefully observing his expression.
General Fu was staring intently at the dishes in front of him—the garlic steamed butterflied shrimp, the matsutake chicken soup, and the vegetables—of which about two-thirds still remained. His eyes were filled with longing.
Xiao Yingchun hesitated internally for a moment.
“Well… these are my leftovers. How about I make you some instant self-heating rice?”
But General Fu didn’t seem to mind at all. He pointed at the garlic butterflied shrimp and asked:
“This… I’ve never eaten it before. Is it some kind of insect?”
Xiao Yingchun replied, “It’s shrimp. It comes from the sea, bigger than river shrimp. It’s split open, topped with minced garlic, and then steamed like this…”
General Fu’s eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation.
“Is it good?”
