Chapter 369: Qixi Festival (5)
The monk crossed his legs and began rambling, "Isn’t it just some story? Why would you be so concern about it? When you should be focus on real life, about what’s happening right in front of you! For all we know, that could be written by some lunatic who have nothing better to do!"
(A/N: *cracking knuckles*)
"Ahem...Well, tell me, is what is more important to you is the story or what’s in front of you? Additionally, judging from your words, he doesn’t seem to be a bad man. He can cook, can sew, can clean houses, can fight, not a slouch and can earn money on his own and is handsome! What else are you looking for husband? Don’t be picky or else you’ll be an old spinster!"
For someone who indulges in scam talisman business, the monk can spit out mind-blowing words although she was perplexed by what the last part meant.
The little dumpling listened quietly throughout.
Right, why is she obsessed with the story?!
Chef Long’s only fault is lying about his name. He didn’t do anything harmful towards her. Rather, he was really kind and even cook for her when he’s exhausted from killing monsters.
Chunhua lowered her head and stared at the magpie crochet necklace on her neck.
"If you’re really upset then go look for him. I bet he should have his own reason for doing so. Don’t you know today’s age? Men also have their tough times. If you don’t settle these trivial matters, then your future marriage life will be rocky! Trust me, I’ve been there." The monk added while looking bitterly at the couples flirting around.
Chunhua’s thoughts were becoming deep that she didn’t refute the monks’ words. The more she pondered over some things, the more the burden in her heart was lifted.
"Uncle, you’re right. I’m a chicken for running off. I should have talk with him instead and made it clear." Chunhua stood up and her figure disappeared.
"Where are you going, Benefactor?" The monk stood up and was stunned when the girl vanished.
After a minute, Chunhua came back, "Ah Uncle, do you know where the Qiaoguo shop is? The one that makes those pastry snacks that looks like lock charms?"
The monk was shocked silly and jolted by her sudden appearance, "..."
He must have woken up in the wrong side of the bed and began to imagine things.
Regaining his senses, the monk asked, "There are so many shops selling Qiaoguo here. You need to be more specific. What is the name of the shop?"
"Ah...I forgot." Her attention was always on the food and the only one she remembered. Chunhua returned to her seat, dispirited. And to make it worse, her super enhance eyesight cannot be used and the system decided to play deaf at the moment
Another lesson to learn....
After interacting with the girl for a few minutes, the monk had grown some fondness of her and offered of help, "How about this. In regards to the 100 yuan you gave, I can look out for the shop you mentioned and the man you’re looking for? Tell me what they look like..."
"You’ll really do that Uncle?" Chunhua was touched. They are really colleagues from the same trade!
"Since we’re fated to meet, I’ll lend you a hand."
In the next minutes, the monk proceeds to listen to someone talking about food description. "..."

On the Magpie Bridge...
Chunhua didn’t rely solely on the monk in finding her way back. She spent half an hour wondering around but still couldn’t find any familiar signs. It just came to her that this place was really huge.
"Hic...Hic..."
She heard a sound of someone crying and search for its source.
Seeing a thin little kid crying alone in the benches on the bridge, Chunhua opened her backpack and looked for the snacks she had saved and saw a pack of candied fruits. She tore the package and urged the kid to take one, "I can’t finish them. Do you want it?"
For her, just like a problem, there is no sorrow a food couldn’t solve, if there is, then the portion is not enough.
The kid stopped crying and looked up. He wanted to say he was not hungry but the smell coming from the candy was tempting prompting him to take one. After he took one bite, he couldn’t stop eating and he was eyeing the remaining candies but he didn’t dare take another one.
"If you tell me your name and how you end up this way, I’ll give you another one." Chunhua noticed the boy’s figure was very thin. She can see the outline of his bones. His face was pale and his cheeks were sunken.
Chunhua frowned.
"It’s Junjie and I was separated from my brother." The kid replied, a little sad. After being lured away by a cart selling sugar figures, he had forgotten his way back.
After coaxing the child with food, Chunhua came to know of his situation.
His thin figure was due to his disease and his brother was peddling snacks to raise funds for his medical surgery.
In the absence of qi and skills restriction, Chunhua could not make a diagnosis. "How much is your surgery?"
Junjie paused and it took a long time for him to remember, "It’s should be around 90, 000 yuan."
90,000 yuan?
That’s 225 rounds of unli buffets!
"What kind of robbery is this!" Chunhua exclaimed.
"Junjie think so too!" Junjie agreed and bobbed his head.
Thinking about it, Junjie was emotional, "Sister, do you think Junjie is a burden?"
"Why would you think that way?" Chunhua carried the boy to the bench and have him sit before sitting as well.
Junjie explained.
His brother only earns around 100 yuan per day and most of it will end up in his medicine. Because of him, his brother couldn’t even go to school and drop out. If he was not here, will his elder brother have a better life?
