A Shy, White-haired Girl Has No Interest In Being Someone's Love Target!

Chapter 219 : A Peaceful Morning

Then she turned her gaze to the shop owner who was diligently swinging the wok and spatula.

The speed at which he wielded the iron wok had the stove almost smoking.

But that was normal. A Shaanxi snack shop that had dozens of customers early in the morning had to work fast or business would suffer.

Su Yun walked up the shop's steps with light, nimble steps.

"Um..."

She stood in front of the hot stove, somewhat embarrassed to ask.

The shop owner looked quite busy, so he probably didn't have time to answer her question anyway.

But the situation this morning was really too strange. If she didn't ask, it would bother her.

"Little beauty, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you right away once I finish the orders in front!"

The middle-aged man with a slightly plump build didn't turn around, yet somehow knew there was someone behind him.

"Ah, that's not it..."

"Um, I wanted to ask why all the shops outside are closed today."

"Oh, that."

Normally, in a situation where even slight negligence could mean lost income, the shop owner should have waved Su Yun away.

But this time he actually put down the wok that had been moving up and down in his hands and turned to look at her.

"They're all cowards. There's a saying: the timid starve while the bold get full. That's the idea."

"Wait here a moment, little girl."

The shop owner skillfully poured the finished fried noodles from the wok into a ceramic bowl and brought it to a customer sitting outside.

Huh?

What do you mean cowards?

Su Yun looked at the hunched back of the middle-aged man as he left, somewhat confused.

It couldn't be that thing Sister Xue always says, could it?

Something like 'you little coward, when are you going to let me...'

"Ugh, what nonsense!"

That kind of thing should only be done with someone you can spend your whole life with, at the right time. How could it be so casual!

The girl's delicate voice echoed through the small shop as she got excited.

This time, the boy who had been secretly looking at her now openly stared over.

Was this beautiful girl angry now?

But her angry expression was so cute!

Thanks, brother. Much appreciated.

The boy's noodle-slurping speed accelerated rapidly with the beautiful sight before him as a side dish.

"Oh, there's more."

The middle-aged shop owner hurried back inside from outside, pulled out noodles from under the table, dropped them in the wok, and tossed the pan. All in one smooth motion, seamlessly connected.

"Let me tell you what happened, girl."

"Something went down here."

"Huh?"

Hearing the shop owner's slightly breathless words, Su Yun's pink lips parted.

"Clang clang clang..."

The wok and stove collided, making an annoying sound, but this didn't stop Su Yun from listening.

"Last night, a bunch of police officers came here."

"The scene was terrifying, I tell you. There were several police cars parked outside each shop. At first, I even thought something was wrong with my food."

"Then what?"

"Then those people just rushed in and tore through my little shop."

"Look at this, this table leg was broken last night."

The middle-aged man put down the wok and pointed with his wrinkled, dark fingers at the small stand by the shop door where the xiaolongbao were placed.

Su Yun looked and found that the iron table was indeed missing a leg, now held up by several stones underneath to keep it stable.

"Why would they do that??"

"They said there was a fugitive hiding around here and needed to search the rooms. Result? They made a complete mess of my place. Noodles all over the floor, didn't make a dime all night, and lost money in the process!"

"That's terrible..."

The man's tone became increasingly agitated, as if he wanted to fight those police officers. Su Yun could only carefully agree.

"And some shop owners had worse luck. Their kitchen equipment got smashed, and they had to buy new sets out of their own pockets."

"And those people even hit people! The owner of the boiled meat slices place near the south gate of the university got knocked down. You have no idea."

"So you see, isn't it better to just close up and go home for the new year? Who wants to suffer like this?"

"Yeah yeah, that makes sense. They definitely left."

By this point, Su Yun had a rough understanding of what happened.

But if all the other shops closed, and the 'police' catching fugitives hit people, then why...

"Boss, why didn't you go home for the new year?"

"..."

The middle-aged man with the heated temper just opened his mouth, but no words came out for a long time.

His wrinkled face seemed to age even more in that moment.

"My old mother is still lying in the hospital."

Su Yun said nothing more.

...

"Thank you, boss. Um, give me two baskets of xiaolongbao, all to go."

"Sure, little girl. Why don't you sit for a bit?"

Su Yun looked for a place to sit and wait, but as the only shop open this morning, it was so crowded there wasn't a single empty seat.

Well, actually there was.

That 'refined' boy from outside who had been secretly peeking at her was sitting alone at a table.

Su Yun looked outside, and his pupils still reflected her image.

Never mind...

Su Yun simply found an empty corner and stood there playing on her phone.

She opened her phone and called that pig at home.

"Ring ring ring~"

The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.

Half a minute passed, and the voice call automatically disconnected due to the prolonged lack of response.

How could she not wake up even with a call? Was this girl sleeping that deeply?

Her chest was as big as a pillow, and yet the person really just stayed in bed.

Did all 'big' sisters sleep like this?

Su Yun felt the answer was no.

Only this pig who only thinks about perverted things would be this lazy.

"Old Guo, don't you think this is just fooling around?"

"The big sister's stupid son doesn't have a trace of the old boss about him. All he thinks about is women."

"Slurp..."

Su Yun was happily scrolling through WeChat when the unusual conversation at the next table caught her attention.

The other person's voice was actually quite quiet, even quieter than the sound of someone eating noodles, but Su Yun's ears were much better than ordinary people's.

"We came all the way from Hu district for this stupid kid..." (ps: Hu district, a district in Xiamo city)

"Slurp (quickly)"

"Now that's not fair to say, Old Li. Were you thinking about women while the big sister was talking?"

"Our brother was..."

There was no more content after that, but Su Yun still saw the man wearing a green wool hat make a throat-cutting gesture with his hand.

She didn't understand, but she felt these two men dressed so heavily were suspicious.

Big sister... stupid son...

How did these titles work?

Su Yun thought about it with her white-socked feet, and it was clear this wasn't what you'd call a family relationship.

That big sister was a title like boss?

"Boss, check please."

Soon, those two burly but not particularly tall men packed up and left the shop.

"..."

Quick as a flash, Su Yun followed them from the shop all the way to the school's south gate.

The two underlings didn't notice her.

The reason for doing this was simple.

A woman's sixth sense told her something was wrong.
