Chapter 1084: 024 Big Fool (Second Update)_2

Xiao Linshuang furrowed her brows, scratching her head and muttering softly, "Did I really see wrong? Maybe, I only glanced once, and when she turned me around to look again, she was out of sight. It makes sense, that sister was wearing a white dress, and Big Sister hates wearing such clean clothes the most, it definitely wasn’t her."

Once relieved, Xiao Linshuang chuckled and pointed at the crowd ahead, exclaiming, "Look, look, so many people over there! Let’s go check it out!"

"Not there, that’s not interesting!" Dong Qing quickly grabbed Xiao Linshuang, who was like a mad rabbit, then rolling her eyes craftily, she pointed in another direction and said, "Over there, over there! I just heard quite a few people say that there’s someone blowing sugar over there, making dragons and phoenixes, all so pretty, let’s go see!"

Sugar?

Upon hearing the word "sugar," Xiao Linshuang instantly changed course and ran toward the direction of the sugar blower.

Lin Wei and Xiao He, along with Ding Ming and Ding Liang, hurriedly followed after her.

Dong Qing let out a breath and shook the sweat from her face, her expression full of complaints, "Why is meeting up with the young master like acting like a thief? It’s made my heart go up and down."

Lin Yi moved his lips expressionlessly, but Dong Qing didn’t catch what he said and asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth impatiently, "Your mouth is the only thing that’s quick, but your eyes are useless. We were face to face just now, and you didn’t notice. If the young master had been exposed, you’d better watch your tongue!"

Tongue!

At the mention of the tongue, Dong Qing instinctively clamped his mouth shut, filled with images of Lin Yuan brandishing a knife to cut his tongue in a ferocious manner. He indeed had been careless earlier, not realizing Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan were standing opposite the performers. Thankfully, Lin Yi’s eyes were sharp, and he had quietly thrown a couple of pebbles in their direction. Otherwise, their cover might have been blown, and the young master would surely have sealed his mouth with tape for a month, forbidding him to speak.

Remembering the last time his mouth was sealed with the character "Seal" and he didn’t speak for three days, Dong Qing felt horribly uncomfortable. He would rather go without food or water for three days than not speak; not speaking felt too terrible.

"Whew, whew. I’m dead tired." Lin Yuan couldn’t run anymore, she stopped and bent over to catch her breath, waving her hands at Xia Zheng, "No, no more running. They probably didn’t see us."

Xia Zheng also stopped, and seeing Lin Yuan panting and exhausted, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Wasn’t it you who wanted to run? I was puzzled, why run upon seeing your sister and the others? You could simply play with them, it’s not the first time you’ve gone shopping together."

Listening to Xia Zheng take pleasure in her misfortune and tease her, Lin Yuan rolled her eyes greatly, "Am I the one hiding? It was clearly you, if it weren’t for you deliberately making Dong Qing give me a sign, I would have already gone out with them, instead of pretending to be sick in the house!"

Xia Zheng chuckled, as from the moment they met, he had been curious about how she managed to make everyone leave her alone, but she kept quiet. Now she had slipped up and revealed it herself, so it turned out she was feigning illness.

The thought of Lin Yuan, who was usually tough like a mother tiger, actually pretending to be sick for the sake of going out to play made Xia Zheng’s lips curl upward.

As if sensing something, Xia Zheng suddenly looked up and sure enough, he spotted a familiar place, giving a self-deprecating smile, "We were so focused on running, I didn’t expect to end up here by mistake."

Upon hearing him, Lin Yuan also looked up and saw a brightly lit building ahead with customers coming and going, bustling with activity.

"Yi Ran Residence?" Lin Yuan tilted her head to catch a glimpse of the signboard above the small building and asked subconsciously, "A tea house?"

She furrowed her brows skeptically after asking. It didn’t seem right; where do you find such crowded tea houses? Besides, there were both men and women, elderly and children. Do children drink tea too?

Hearing Lin Yuan mention a tea house, Xia Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle, "You’re not the first person to say that. Let’s go, just in time, we’ll rest in there for a while."

Saying that, he took Lin Yuan’s hand and led her towards the entrance.

Indeed, Yi Ran Residence lived up to its name, exuding a sense of contentment everywhere. However, once they entered, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but be astounded; this was not a tea house but clearly a tavern!

Look at this, look at this, men clinking cups together, women laughing heartily, children shouting loudly; Lin Yuan’s face grew darker and darker.

"This, this is really misleading," she said.

Xia Zheng also had to face palm, "Well, there’s no helping it. Everything about this tavern is great except for the name. If they changed the name, the business might do a bit better."

Lin Yuan looked around and raised her eyebrows, "It doesn’t seem too bad here; the business looks quite good."

Indeed, it seemed quite good. Even though several rooms were empty on the third floor, almost all the elegant rooms on the second floor were full, and it was hard to find empty tables in the hall as well.

However.

Lin Yuan, having managed a tavern before, sharply noticed that the customers in the hall had hardly any dishes on their tables, mostly just snacking on peanuts and drinking tea. These people gave her the impression they came in to rest their feet.

Was this not a perfect spot to rest? Next to Yi Ran Residence was mostly fabric and jewelry vendors, apart from a few food stalls, this was the only tavern nearby.

Thinking about it, the location was indeed good.

Leading Lin Yuan to the second floor, Xia Zheng was grinning sheepishly, "It looks good because today is no ordinary day, today is the fifteenth of the first lunar month, and everyone is out and about. Besides, Drunken Immortal Tower is already full, with no place to sit, so everyone came here. On a regular day, having half of today’s crowd would be good."

Half?

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened as she had expected it to be around seventy to eighty percent, not even fifty percent.

The business seemed really bad, and she wondered who the owner was, managing such a large tavern so poorly, definitely a complete fool!
