Chapter 138 - 138 Can't Bear It

138 Can’t Bear It

“But I didn’t do anything to deserve it.” At this moment, Ji Zhao felt dizzy.

“It’s because you’re lucky. Even if the twenty-sixth customer today isn’t you, it will still be someone else’s.” The worker from the bookstore smiled and advised, “You should keep these things well!”

Until the moment she walked out of the Ten Thousand Mile Bookstore, Ji Zhao was still a little light-headed and dizzy.

“Shen Yao, should we accept this silver?” Ji Zhao was a little hesitant. “Why don’t we send this silver back?”

“No need.” Shen Yao smiled and shook his head. “The owner behind The Ten Thousand Mile Bookstore is a very interesting person. His thoughts are always unique and unpredictable. You probably don’t know this, but about three months ago, a customer came to the bookstore to buy books, but he was chased out of the bookstore by the owner.”

“Why?”

“Because the owner was in a bad mood that day and didn’t want to entertain the customer.”

“…”

Ji Zhao was completely speechless.

“I didn’t expect the owner of Ten Thousand Mile Bookstore to be so willful. Isn’t he afraid of being reported?” Ji Zhao asked curiously.

“Ah Tao, the evening market is about to begin. Have you thought about what you want to cook?”

Shen Yao smiled and changed the topic.

“I’ve thought about it.” At the mention of cooking, Ji Zhao said excitedly, “I plan to make a sweet and sour pork tenderloin, another sour and spicy dish, then a Mapo Tofu, and finally a seaweed shrimp soup. Three dishes and a soup. It should be enough for the few of us.”

“Then let’s go over quickly? If we go early, we can buy fresh vegetables?”

“Alright!”

At a quarter past eight, Shen Yao helped Ji Zhao bring the three dishes and soup to the table.

Ji Zhao even specially made a steamed egg with scallion and placed it in front of Eldest Sister-in-law Shen.

“Eldest Sister-in-law, try my steamed egg and see if it suits your taste.”

“It’s fragrant!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen praised generously. “Just the smell alone is enough to make people drool. It must be even more delicious!”

“Sister, Sister Ah Tao has already taught me how to make steamed egg. If you want to eat steamed egg in the future, I’ll make it for you!” Feng Chunyan quickly said.

“Okay!” Eldest Sister-in-law Shen narrowed her eyes happily and smiled happily.

Soon, all the dishes on the table were swept away.

“It’s strange. They’re clearly the same ingredients, but Ah Tao’s dishes are even more delicious than the dishes in the restaurants.” Eldest Brother Shen praised from the bottom of his heart. “Ah Tao, you’re really amazing!”

“Eldest brother, Eldest sister-in-law, stop praising me.” Ji Zhao silently raised her hands to her face and said with a gentle smile, “I’m blushing!”

Hahaha!

Hearty laughter came from the courtyard. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

“Third Brother, Ah Tao, will you guys make do in the back room tonight?”

“No need, Eldest Brother.” Shen Yao smiled and declined. “Second Manager You has already arranged it in advance, so Ah Tao and I will stay in the restaurant for the time being. Don’t worry.”

“Alright.” Eldest Brother Shen nodded. “Third Brother, if you need my help with anything, feel free to look for me.”

“Okay.”

At 9pm, a crescent moon hung above the treetops, silently illuminating the silent land.

Shen Yao held Ji Zhao’s hand and walked back to the room in the restaurant under the moonlight.

“Why don’t we get the waiter to bring another blanket?” Ji Zhao, who was sitting obediently by the bed, suddenly felt sorry for Shen Yao, who was sleeping on the floor.
