The main entrance of Tianhe Road in the Tangning New Residence West District.
When Song Yunshen strolled out, he saw Xia Kening waiting there.
At this moment, Xia Kening, wearing the school uniform of Shulan Middle School, stood next to the bushes outside the gate of the residential area, looking down at her phone.
Without saying hello, Song Yunshen quietly approached and peeked at her phone screen.
What are you looking at?
Startled by Song Yunshen's voice, Xia Kening quickly put away her phone and covered it to her chest to prevent him from seeing it. "What are you doing? You're here and you didn't even say hello!"
"Who are you chatting with?" Song Yunshen chuckled and asked curiously.
"My family told me to be careful." Xia Kening glared at him. "I think they're right, especially when I'm with a pervert like you."
"Even a pervert like you has to teach you how to do your homework." Song Yunshen rolled his eyes at her. "If it were anyone else, I'd charge at least two hundred an hour. You've made at least six or eight hundred yuan today, okay?"
"Then thank you," Xia Kening said, her eyes half-closed, showing no gratitude whatsoever.
Let's go.
"Isn't the braised chicken restaurant over there?"
"Go eat breakfast first," Song Yunshen said. "Do you expect me to explain the problems to you on an empty stomach?"
"Huh? You didn't say you wanted to eat breakfast."
"I'm asking you to leave immediately."
"No, no, I'll pay for it myself."
"The breakfast shop is also owned by my relative."
"Ah?"
"Of course I still have to pay," Song Yunshen said with a smile, "But it's just going from my pocket to my relative's pocket, so I'll pay for it."
"Oh, Yunshen's here? Same as always?" The auntie at the breakfast shop greeted him with a smile.
"Hmm." Song Yunshen nodded, then looked at Xia Kening, "What do you want to eat?"
"Huh? Whose child is this?" the aunt asked curiously.
"My mother's distant cousin," Song Yunshen said, "She came to ask me for help with some homework today, so I brought her here to grab something to eat first."
"Oh, what a pretty little girl!" the auntie at the breakfast shop said with a smile. "Would you like some savory pancakes? Ours are really delicious, would you like to try one?"
"You're giving her a ride but not me?" Song Yunshen said with a grin, leaning against the counter. "You're going to make me sad."
"You little rascal," his aunt rolled her eyes at him, "Just like your uncle."
"Just order a little." Xia Kening's voice immediately softened when speaking to adults. She tugged at Song Yunshen's sleeve and whispered, "I don't eat much, so don't order too much."
"Then let's have a bowl of minced meat noodles," Song Yunshen said. "Don't forget the savory pancake that was delivered."
"I know."
After paying, Song Yunshen led Xia Kening to a seat.
Xia Kening took out her phone and earned money for Song Yunshen, which was exactly the price of minced meat noodles.
"I already said it's my treat."
"You can treat me to lunch then, I definitely won't stand on ceremony then," Xia Kening said. "But we didn't agree on breakfast, so I'll pay for that myself."
"Okay." After accepting the money, Song Yunshen transferred two yuan to her.
What are you doing?
"These are just savory pancakes they gave you as a gift," Song Yunshen said. "You earned them because of your connections, just like when you won a meal from Xu Zhuoyue."
"Oh, oh..." Xia Kening thought it made sense, so she accepted the two yuan.
In the end, it didn't cost much money.
Soon, the breakfast we had just ordered was served.
Xia Kening had a bowl of minced meat noodles and a savory pancake.
Song Yunshen's meal consisted of a bowl of shrimp wontons, a serving of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two soup dumplings, and an egg dumpling.
"You ate so much..." Xia Kening looked at the deluxe set meal across from her, somewhat astonished.
"How can I have the energy to explain the problems to you if I don't eat my fill?" Song Yunshen chuckled, then went to get two more empty bowls, scooped out half a bowl of wontons, and then added half a bowl of minced meat noodles.
"We'll each have half, you should try them all," Song Yunshen said. "Try the steamed buns, pan-fried buns, and dumplings too, they're delicious."
"I guess I won't eat what you ordered..." Xia Kening a little embarrassed.
"You've already taken advantage of my body, why are you being so polite with me?"
"Stop talking!" Xia Kening blushed and quickly stopped her, "There are other people in the shop!"
"So, are you going to eat or not?"
"I'll eat it..."
It's delicious.
Xia Kening tried the mixed noodles, then ate a bite of wonton, followed by a xiaolongbao, then soup dumplings and pan-fried dumplings.
Every dish was delicious, and they were all made exceptionally well, clearly the result of many years of culinary expertise.
Seeing Xia Kening's chubby cheeks puffed out as she ate, making her already chubby cheeks even cuter, Song Yunshen smiled.
"This place used to be called Tangning Village," Song Yunshen said.
"Hmm, I think I've heard of that."
"That uncle and aunt over there are my grandma's sister's son and daughter-in-law," Song Yunshen said, counting on his fingers. "They've been running a breakfast shop for twenty or thirty years."
"Originally, after this place was demolished, the two of them could have retired and enjoyed their lives, but after resting for a few years, they came back to resume their old ways after the rebuilt houses were completed."
"They say they can't stay idle, and after the villagers gradually moved back, they all said they still missed their food."
At this point, Song Yunshen asked with a smile, "It really is delicious, isn't it?"
"Mmm!" Xia Kening nodded vigorously, then took another bite of the savory pancake her aunt had given her, and was immediately captivated by its deliciousness. "So delicious!"
Half of the breakfast I ordered ended up in Xia Kening's stomach.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xia Kening patted her slightly bulging belly and let out a sigh of relief, "I ate a bit too much, I'm so full."
"Let's go now that you're full." Song Yunshen stretched, then got up and led her away from the breakfast shop, walking all the way to the braised chicken rice shop on the other side of the community gate.
Pushing open the door, Song Yunshen greeted the young man at the front desk, explained the situation, and then asked Xia Kening to find an empty seat.
In the early morning, hardly anyone comes to the store for breakfast; there are only occasional takeout orders, and the delivery guy comes in to pick up the food from time to time.
"Oh, right." Xia Kening sat down in a chair, suddenly remembering something, and said to Song Yunshen, "I... my mom asked me to take a picture for her at the library, what should I do?"
"Didn't you tell your mother you were coming to see me?" Song Yunshen asked suspiciously.
"No..." Xia Kening hesitated a little, "What if she misunderstands?"
"What's with that look? Our relationship is completely innocent, okay?"
"Of course I know, but my mom doesn't." Xia Kening was actually a little angry when she heard him say that. "Then I'll tell her now."
"Hey, wait a minute," Song Yunshen quickly stopped him. "Take the picture first."
"This isn't a library."
"Listen to me, take the picture first," Song Yunshen urged. "Yes, after you're done, open Doubao and have Doubao change the background to a library."
"Oh, oh..." Xia Kening did a few steps, waited for the Doubao to generate the image, then turned to Song Yunshen, "Just this one?"
"Are you stupid? Cut off the watermark in the bottom right corner." Song Yunshen was speechless. "You don't even have the basic awareness of forging evidence."
"I feel like you're corrupting me," Xia Kening pouted.
"Ha, these are all valuable experiences from our predecessors. Hurry up and absorb them!"
The two of them finished taking the photos here.
At the front desk, after finishing his takeout orders, the delivery guy had some free time. He glanced at Song Yunshen's back, secretly took out his phone, and snapped a picture.
Following the instructions left by the landlady yesterday, I then sent it to her privately.
