Mu Ying's smile became even sweeter, and she happily turned the plate around in front of the audience and took back dozens of copper coins, a few candies, two eggs, and a handful of dried dates.
She didn't mind it either, she smiled and stuffed the coins into her purse, put the food into her sack, and bowed to everyone and said, "I have something to do today, so I won't perform anymore. Come back tomorrow."
Everyone was still not satisfied, so they joked with her for a few words before leaving.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Zhou Yifu walked up, looked at Mu Ying longingly, and whispered: "Xiaoying, am I not dreaming?"
He had been huddled in the corner just now, and Mu Ying didn't see him. Now when she saw the person, she was startled: "Why are you here?"
She was not surprised at all when Mu Li appeared here. After all, she was gone and her family would definitely come out to look for her.
But Zhou Yifu's appearance here was unexpected.
It was surprising that he, a weak scholar whose family wanted his son to succeed, could run so far and suddenly appear in front of her.
Zhou Yifu was excited and happy, and his mood was surging: "I came to find you, I..."
He couldn't wait to tell her a few words about his true feelings, but Mu Ying interrupted him very uncomfortably: "This is not the place to talk, let's change the place."
Zhou Yifu thought about this and happily told her: "We still have people outside, you can't guess who else is there..."
Mu Li coughed lightly, pulled him, winked, and motioned for him to look to the side.
Although Zhou Yifu was excited, he did not lose his vigilance. He quickly followed his gaze and saw a young man standing by the wall.
He was tall and thin, with broad shoulders and long legs, in a green robe, with his arms folded, and a white face with pink eyes. He stared at them expressionlessly, which was a bit more fierce than the white-fronted tiger with a white forehead that was beaten to death by Wu Song.
It was the Danfengyan who asked him for divination yesterday.
Zhou Yifu suddenly felt like a lump in his throat, half of his joy was gone in an instant, and he fell silent.
Mu Ying glanced at him quietly, and when she saw that he was not making trouble, she said, "Let's go out."
Zhou Yifu felt as if there was a lump of wet cotton stuck in his throat. He tried his best to force out a sentence: "Don't you need to clean it up? Let's clean it up first."
Mu Ying whispered: "No, I borrowed this room from the inn. I'll give it to them. I don't plan to perform it again anyway. Let them clean up by themselves."
Several people walked out together, but they didn't see Danfengyan coming out. When they looked back, they saw him going to the curtain, lowering his head to pack up the box for the shadow puppet show.
Zhou Yifu felt sour in his heart and couldn't express his feelings. He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing if he opened his mouth, so he simply remained silent.
Mu Ying was also silent. Mu Li cleared his throat and reminded: "We are with the new students, madam. Let me tell you first. You have the numbers. Don't lose your composure in front of others."
Mu Ying couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Freshman? My... mother?"
Mu Li nodded slightly.
Mu Ying jumped out with a "swish".
"Have you prepared the dry food? Hurry up." Madam Mu Er was urging the waiter when she suddenly felt something strange beside her. When she looked back, she saw a handsome young man standing next to her, looking at her blankly.
She couldn't react for a moment, and she only thought that the young man's dress was a bit strange. His hair was not very short, and was tied into a ponytail. It looked like it had been cut.
She saw the tears in the young man's eyes and smiled slightly: "Brother, is something okay?"
