Less than ten minutes later, the waiter brought over two steaming bowls of beef noodles, along with the three recommended cold dishes and the boiled fish Man Yao had ordered.
The waiter stood respectfully to one side. "Esteemed guests, your dishes are all here."
"Mm."
Qian Xunji nodded and handed the waiter a Gold Soul Coin. "Use this to settle the bill. Keep the rest as your tip."
Looking at the tempting broth, Man Yao could not help feeling expectant.
She picked up a bundle of noodles with her wooden chopsticks and blew on them. Once they had cooled slightly, she put them into her mouth in one bite.
Not bad!
The noodles were not particularly amazing, but they still tasted quite good.
Watching Man Yao eat heartily, Qian Xunji also picked up some noodles and tasted them.
Qian Xunji picked up a slice of braised beef and placed it in Man Yao's bowl. "Eat slowly. Don't choke."
Qian Xunji remembered how his parents in his previous life had always given him anything delicious first, even though they liked it too.
"Qian, brother." Man Yao spoke in a clear voice. Then she lowered her head and continued eating, with none of a lady's grace as bits of food covered her mouth.
Qian Xunji did not say anything more. As long as Man Yao was happy, that was enough.
After finishing their meal, Qian Xunji led Man Yao out of the restaurant.
Suddenly.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The entire street trembled. On the other side, more than a dozen riders escorted a carriage as it sped toward them. The convoy was moving incredibly fast, and the people on the street hurriedly scattered in panic, throwing everything into chaos.
Just then, a little girl stumbled and fell in the middle of the street.
