In the early morning, there were few pedestrians on the old street in the south lane of the central city of Beijing. A grain truck passed by. During the bumps of the truck, a few grains of millet flew out from the gaps in the truck plate and landed on the clean bluestone road.
Not long after, a group of house sparrows that had gotten up early to look for food gathered around.
The young man sitting by the window on the second floor listened to the sound and felt it was very pleasant for some reason.
Even though there was no one around him, the young man still sat upright due to the habit he had developed since childhood, but even so, people could still clearly notice that he was in an extremely relaxed mood at this time.
Hearing the sound of carriages and horses again, the young man quickly looked down the window.
This time, the carriage stopped in front of the Xue Sheng Teahouse as he had hoped. The girl in the green dress who jumped out of the carriage was exactly the person he wanted to see.
Seeing her getting off the carriage and heading straight to the building with her maid and Fat Bird, Wu Chao touched the wall of the teapot to test the temperature, then raised his hand to lift the teapot and filled a clean tea cup half full.
Push to the position opposite you.
The sound of footsteps going up the stairs soon came, and the young man quickly retracted his hand and sat there leisurely.
"Why are you here so early?"
Xu Mingyi sat down opposite him and said in a casual and natural tone: "Can I have breakfast?"
Looking at the food box she was carrying in her hand, Wu Chao said, "I used some before going out."
I specifically stated that it was before going out, but the implication seems to be - although I have eaten, I don't mind having some snacks.
Xu Mingyi wanted to open the food box.
"I'll-"
Wu Chao took the initiative to reach out and took out several plates one by one.
Shou Ming, who had just come up from downstairs and planned to serve his young master and entertain Miss Xu, stood at the stairs, looking at this scene, he couldn't help but hesitate at his feet.
His young master was placing the plates himself, while Miss Xu was holding a teacup and drinking tea.
Shouming took a keen look at the location of the teapot - it was right next to his young master.
And he clearly remembered that he had only poured a cup of tea before, so that meant that Miss Xu's tea was poured by his young master himself?
Shouming was astonished.
Shisun is here to serve people tea and prepare snacks...
No wonder Miss Akui didn't follow her. Is it because he knew that his girl had no shortage of people to take care of her?
But his young master is different——
Not only do I not need anyone to serve me, I have also learned to serve others.
Oh, it’s not just people—
The big bird squatting on the chair next to Miss Xu also looked like he was waiting for dinner.
Shou Ming sighed complicatedly in his heart, silently turned around and walked lightly downstairs.
Seeing him coming down, Akui, who was sitting in the hall, quickly waved to him.
Shouming walked over and asked with a smile: "Miss Akui, what do you want from me?"
"Brother Shouming, I have something to ask you..." Akui blinked mysteriously.
"What's the matter?" Shou Ming was inexplicably afraid to look directly into those shining eyes.
Akui glanced around, lowered her voice and asked: "The book about the arrogant and domineering rich lady who was pecked by birds that is very popular in the major teahouses in the city... was written by you, right?"
Shou Ming was slightly shocked.
"Did I guess it right?" Akui looked at his reaction with a smile.
Shouming came to his senses unexpectedly and smiled sheepishly: "How did Miss Akui guess it?"
What he did was very clean, and those storytellers didn't know his true identity.
"What about the writing style? It sounds like you wrote it." Akui said proudly: "I have read the scripts for so many years. Even if there is no signature, I can still tell who wrote it."
You don’t even have this ability to distinguish? How dare you say that you are a senior storybook lover?
Shouming opened his mouth in surprise and praised sincerely: "Miss Akui is really amazing..."
"Brother Shouming is really great at being able to write such a good book."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and both couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Wu, who was walking out of the backyard, saw this scene and raised his eyes again in the direction of the second floor——
After a while, he took back his steps into the front hall and returned to the backyard.
Yes, he should go talk to Mr. Mo. This is not the place for someone like him.
On the second floor, Tianmu, who was squatting in a chair, looked at the empty plate in front of him and let out a dissatisfied cry.
The host can still eat his breakfast? Why can’t it?
It hasn't eaten anything for half an hour!
Wu Chao frowned and glanced at it.
This bird became more and more presumptuous, and even dared to scream at the dinner table.
However, the next moment, Xu Mingyi took a piece of chestnut cake and put it on the plate in front of Big Bird.
"..." Wu Chao suddenly felt that the soy sauce beef in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the girl put another piece of exactly the same chestnut cake on the plate in front of him - she still understood the principle of a bowl of water being flat.
Wu Chao made a disdainful sound in his heart, but a faint smile appeared in his eyes - who wants to compete with a bird for favor? There is no way he would fall to the level of his father.
This is not to say how confident he is, but there is no harm without comparison? Tianjiao's ability to monopolize his mother's favor is due to his unparalleled beauty - what does this ugly bird have? How can it threaten his future?
status?
Is that what you were thinking? But it didn’t delay the young man from eating the chestnut cake that he didn’t like very much.
Seeing that he had almost eaten, Xu Mingyi asked: "Right? Come to me early this morning? But what's the matter?"
Doesn’t it mean that we can’t meet each other if nothing happens? It’s just that he called me out so early, so I guess something happened.
"Have you ever thought about who is really trying to harm you this time?" Wu Chao looked at her and said bluntly: "I went to see Zhan Yunjiao last night. Judging from her attitude, there must be something wrong with her.
hide."
Xu Mingyi was a little surprised.
"Did you go to see Zhan Yunjiao in person?"
"It's just a way." The young man said it over and continued to ask: "Do you have any doubts about anyone? Could it be Miss Xia Si?"
Xu Mingyi was stunned again.
"You actually know Miss Xia Si?"
Why does this person seem to know everything so clearly?
"My Heavenly Eye has offended this person, so naturally someone told me what happened before." Wu Chao said calmly and authentically.
Xu Mingyi glanced at him dubiously.
Is it really because of the Third Eye that I know Xia Xi, not because of her? - Ever since she determined the other person's feelings, girls have never been stingy with their imagination.
However, she still had to explain.
"It's not that the Third Eye offended her." Xu Mingyi touched the big bird's head and said, "It's that she offended the Third Eye."
Tianmu raised his bald head and shouted in agreement.
"..." Looking at the tacit and close cooperation between one person and one bird in front of him, even though he didn't want to admit it, the young man suddenly lost confidence in his future life.
