You're Here to Cause Trouble, Aren't You?

"Miss Bailu, your noodles are here."

Whether it was because Bailu ordered this time, or because there weren't many customers, the boss served the noodles very quickly. In fact, Bai Luoming hadn't even taken two bites by the time Bailu's noodles were served.

Bailu looked at the shop owner, her lips trembling as if she wanted to refute him, but she didn't know how to do so, because no matter what, it was indeed her who ate that bowl of noodles.

When the boss saw Bailu's expression, he chuckled twice and quickly went to the front desk to continue serving other customers, not making things difficult for Bailu.

Seeing the boss walk towards the front desk, Bailu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her chopsticks, and directly stuffed the beef from the noodles into her mouth.

The moment the beef entered her mouth, the savory flavor burst forth. Bailu chewed the beef slowly, her eyes narrowing as she revealed an expression of enjoyment.

After finishing the beef, Bailu didn't choose to continue eating the meat sauce on the noodles. Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and thoroughly mixed the noodles and meat sauce together, while also mixing the seasonings in the broth.

Then Bailu picked up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks and slurped it down, her eyes showing even more satisfaction.

Seeing Bai Bailu's expression, Bai Luoming found it somewhat amusing and couldn't help but ask, "I really didn't expect Miss Bailu to enjoy just a bowl of noodles so much."

With Bailu in her mouth, Bai Lu mumbled a retort to Bai Luoming, "What are you talking about? This is called a fragrant life!"

After saying that, Bailu swallowed the food in her mouth and said to Bai Luoming, "Besides, you don't always have to call me Miss Bailu. You can call me by my name. I'm not that petty!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Bailu!" Bai Luoming said to Bailu on purpose, and then winked at Bailu playfully.

"Hey! I already told you, you don't need to call me that anymore!" Upon hearing this, Bailu angrily shouted at Bai Luoming.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Eat up, or it'll get soggy." Seeing Bai Bailu's flustered reaction, Bai Luoming stopped teasing Bailu and gently patted her head.

"Hey! You rascal, don't touch my head, you'll stunt your growth!"

Bailu protested against Bai Luoming's touch on her head, but when she saw Bai Luoming put his hand down, she didn't continue to condemn him. Instead, she focused on eating the food in front of her.

Soon, the two finished their noodles. Bailu put down her chopsticks heavily, looking somewhat satisfied.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming abandoned his plan to order more food and loudly called out to the owner, "Boss, the bill!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly walked to Bai Luoming's side, looked at the bowls in front of the two of them, pondered for a moment, and then told Bai Luoming the price.

"Sir, if you and Miss Bailu are traveling together, it will cost approximately 20 Strale. If you pay with Credits, it will be around 4000 Credits."

Hearing the boss's words, Bai Luoming didn't say anything more, but went straight to the front desk to pay and then prepared to leave.

However, to Bai Luoming's surprise, Bailu followed him out as soon as he left.

At first, Bai Luoming didn't pay much attention, assuming that Bailu's route was the same as his, and didn't think much of it.

But as he moved among the vendors, he gradually realized something was wrong.

No matter which way Bai Luoming went, Bailu always followed behind him. Even when he went shopping, Bailu would watch him from a short distance away. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Bailu was his little follower.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming turned around helplessly and waved to Bailu, who was not far away, signaling her to come forward.

Bailu didn't hesitate much and walked up to Bai Luoming without any hesitation. She raised her little head and secretly observed Bai Luoming's expression.

Bai Luoming didn't think much of it. Instead, he squatted down and said seriously to Bailu, "Bailu, don't you have anything to do? Why are you always following me around?"

Upon hearing Bai Luoming's words, Bailu immediately retorted, "Who's following you!"

Then she lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and continued, "I just finished eating and didn't know what to do, so I thought I'd walk along the same route as you to digest."

Bai Luoming found this somewhat amusing. He lowered his head and deliberately gave Bailu a sinister smile, saying, "Does Miss Bailu trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'm a bad guy who'll take you away and sell you?"

"I believe you're a good person! Besides, many people on this street know me. If you have any ulterior motives, the Cloud Knights will take care of you!"

"Alright then, Miss Bailu, if you want to come along, then come along."

"What are you saying? What do you mean I want to follow you? I just... I just... our routes overlapped! Yes, that's all..."

Hearing this, Bai Luoming found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't say anything more and continued strolling through Aurum Alley on his own.

Seeing Bai Luoming stride forward, Bailu didn't hesitate much, but quickly followed after him with small, quick steps.

Bai Luoming noticed the little tail following him, smiled, and didn't pay it any mind.

He wandered aimlessly along the street, while Bailu followed behind Bai Luoming, maintaining an unspoken understanding between them.

Bai Luoming was quickly drawn to the shouts around him. He looked closely and saw a Foxian from the Xianzhou holding a bundle of straw covered with candied hawthorns. Oh, in the Xianzhou's language, it should be called "Qiongshi Bird Skewers ".

Bai Luoming was also very curious about what this so-called Qiongshi Bird Skewer tasted like. In Xianzhou, it seemed that there were very few children who didn't like it, especially Yunli, who even dared to punch Jing Yuan for a skewer.

With that thought in mind, Bai Luoming no longer hesitated. He strode towards the vendor selling Qiongshi Bird Skewers and said, "Boss, two Qiongshi Bird Skewer!"

"Alright." The shopkeeper replied with a smile, then took two bright red Qiongshi Bird Skewers from the bundle of straw and handed them to Bai Luoming.

Bai Luoming grabbed a skewer, and without thinking, tore open the packaging under Bailu's expectant gaze, stuffing it into his mouth.

He gently bit through the outer sugar shell, and then a sweet taste spread from the tip of his tongue.

After removing the cloying sweetness of the outer sugar coating, you can taste a subtle sourness that contrasts with the previous sweetness. This sourness is naturally not comparable to that of the orange, but when combined with the sweetness, the flavor becomes surprisingly wonderful.

Just as Bai Luoming was about to eat another one, he noticed Bailu, who was drooling beside him. He chuckled and handed the remaining skewer to Bailu.

"Here, this is for you. Don't say I didn't take care of you."

Bailu looked at the skewers Bai Luoming handed her, her eyes crinkling with a smile. She had thought Bai Luoming had forgotten about her earlier.

But she still pretended to be angry and pushed Bai Luoming's hand away, saying, "You only remember me now? I thought you'd forgotten about me!"

Bai Luoming didn't indulge Bailu. Seeing that she didn't want it, he withdrew his hand, took a bite of a skewer, and mumbled, "Never mind if you don't want it. I haven't had enough yet."

Bailu, Bai Lu immediately panicked, snatched the skewers from Bai Luoming's hand, and shouted at him, "Who said I didn't want them!"

After saying that, she also unpacked the package, happily stuffed a skewer into her mouth, and savored the sweet and sour taste. Bailu squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

The two continued walking forward, but unlike before, this time Bailu did not keep a few steps away from Bai Luoming, but walked side by side with him.

Bai Luoming was quite accommodating to Bai Luoming Bailu, and before long, her hands were covered with snacks from his feeding, including Moomoo Rolls, roasted chestnuts, and even a cup of Immortal's Joy Tea.

Bailu felt the weight in her hands and was overjoyed. She couldn't stop smiling. You see, she didn't usually have much pocket money, and she rarely had the chance to eat so many snacks.

She looked left and right, even caught in a happy dilemma of not knowing which one to eat first.

Just as Bailu set her sights on the Moomoo Roll in her hand, intending to devour it, a heated argument erupted from a stall in the distance.

"Are you here to cause trouble?"
