Chapter 887: 887

“Compass, what are you blanking out for?” Sun Ming asked curiously .

“Nothing,” Yuan Zhou replied as he recovered from his thoughts .

“I don’t see a heater around . Should I get one for you?” Sun Ming suggested .

“It is spring and summer is not far away,” Yuan Zhou said .

“I’ll get you a hot and cold air conditioner then,” Sun Ming suggested without hesitation .

“You think it’s cold here?” Yuan Zhou questioned .

“Not really . That’s kind of weird, by the way . But when it gets hot during the summer, you can put the air conditioner to use,” Sun Ming said after shaking his head .

“Don’t worry . It’s not hot during summer . My place is warm during winter and cool during the summer . ” Yuan Zhou emphasized, “In any case, I don’t have any space for an air conditioner in my room . ”

“No . I need to be able to report back to my parents . ” Sun Ming said, “Just choose something for me . ”

“I’ll tell you when I think of something,” Yuan Zhou gave a smart reply .

“Are you sure?” Sun Ming looked at Yuan Zhou doubtfully .

In his opinion, Yuan Zhou would never ask for something from someone . Thus, he was doubtful of Yuan Zhou’s words .

“Um, I won’t lie,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“True . You are a man of your words,” Sun Ming said with some hesitation .

That’s right . Although Yuan Zhou was not one to ask for something from others, he was indeed a man of his words and had never lied .

“Ok, let’s go back down,” Yuan Zhou said .

“Sure . There’s no beauty or secret to be unfolded here anyway . It’s not a good place to loiter around,” Sun Ming said with a smile .

“Leave quickly then,” Yuan Zhou grumbled .

“Yeah, yeah, leaving now,” Sun Ming said as he started heading downstairs .

When walking by the door of the room next door, Sun Ming glanced over at the doorknob and the door itself . Both were extremely clean, obviously a room that was still frequently entered .

Sun Ming knew that this was definitely the room of Yuan Zhou’s parents . Even though he had never came upstairs, he knew just by guessing . Of course, he kept his mouth shut and did not say anything .

“Let’s go,” Yuan Zhou shut the door and started going down the stairs .

“Ok . I won’t bother returning to the restaurant as well . I still need to go back and open my store for business,” Sun Ming said when they reached the back door .

“You are probably in a rush to see your goddess,” Yuan Zhou spoke candidly .

“It’s good that you know . See you . I’ll come for a meal next time and it’s your treat, of course,” Sun Ming said as he walked away while waving his hand .

“That will depend on my mood . See you,” Yuan Zhou said .

Sun Ming ignored Yuan Zhou’s refusal . After waving his hand, he walked out of the alley . Yuan Zhou stayed there until he could no longer see Sun Ming before returning to the restaurant .

Standing at the brightly lit kitchen and looking at the cabinets all around, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of something, “I think I need to get another cabinet . ”

“A cabinet to store these articles,” Yuan Zhou repeated .

Yuan Zhou was naturally referring to the articles such as the boxer gloves and the invitation cards . It did not feel right putting them on the shelf .

“I’ll go to visit Furniture City tomorrow . The new cabinet will be placed right under the window . There’s still an empty space there,” Yuan Zhou made his plan .

“Looking at the time, I should start preparing dinner ingredients,” Yuan Zhou said after checking the time and started busying himself again .

When night arrived, Zhou Jia arrived as usual and waited at the back door, waiting for it to be opened . As for the other customers, they were all lining up accordingly .

The hawkers were hawking their wares without stop and the entire street was bustling . Due to the crowd, the business of the stores in the area had improved as well .

At the same time, a group of people were heading towards the restaurant . They were all girls, each of them had delicate makeup and were dressed fashionably . Every one of them was holding a selfie stick .

“Come, come, that is the Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, also known as the Master Chef Restaurant,” said a cheerful girl as she started taking pictures with her selfie stick .

Naturally, the background of her pictures were the crowd in the queue and the restaurant without a signboard .

“This is the restaurant of the great ice sculptor . Look, there are so many people here . Let’s go take some selfies . ”

“So do you know that cooked wheaten food master that is very popular online? Here, this is his restaurant, the restaurant of an Internet celebrity . ”

“Come, come, let’s take some selfies . ”

“This is the restaurant my idol once filmed a show at . Let’s take a selfie . ”

“Hey, I want to get in the picture as well . When posting the picture, tag me as well . ”

With the people from the Queuing Committee around, these people all behaved themselves . These were the people that would come take pictures after Yuan Zhou got popular online for various reasons recently .

The number of these people was quite large . Fortunately, there were people from the Queuing Committee keeping order . Although these people were all excited, they still followed the rules and thus had caused no disturbance .

“Hu, lucky me . I think I can still get a number,” while they were busy taking pictures, Ling Hong ran into the line .

It was less than 20 minutes away from dinner time .

Time passed in the blink of an eye .

Whoosh! Yuan Zhou opened the door, indicating that the restaurant would be open for business soon .

“Line up over here and get your numbers . Thank you,” Zhou Jia’s voice sounded .

Lining up to get a number wasn’t too big of trouble . Before long, the customers got their numbers . As for those behind the queue who did not manage to get a number, they went to rest under the tents . Ling Hong was among them .

“Ling Hong? Why are you here?” asked Jiang Changxi .

“Here to eat something,” Ling Hong said while waving his hair in a confident and carefree manner .

“I thought you were having dinner at home?” Jiang Changxi asked suspiciously .

“This is a before-dinner meal,” Ling Hong replied .

“You are acting weirdly . I reckon you are planning something bad,” Jiang Changxi got straight to the point .

“No way . I’m being totally kind,” Ling Hong said as a wide and bright smile unfolded on his face, showing off his extremely white teeth .

“I won’t believe you,” Jiang Changxi said .

“I’m telling the truth,” Ling Hong nodded .

The friendly exchange between Yuan Zhou and Cao Zhishu ended today, but not many people were aware of the entire thing . After all, Yuan Zhou was not one to do excessive promotion for a friendly exchange .

He had always regarded himself as a low profiled person .

And thus, the customers remained calm today, none of them asked anything about the exchange .

Ling Hong was the last batch of customers to get a number . After about an hour of waiting, it was their turn to eat . And when they entered, they found that someone was missing today .

“I feel like something is missing today,” Ling Hong said while looking around after sitting down .

“Yes, Master Cheng is not here today,” Zhou Jia said .

“Oh, no wonder I feel like something is missing from the background,” Ling Hong would frequently bicker with Master Cheng .

“What are you eating today, Brother Hong?” Zhou Jia asked .

“One Herbal Tea Egg . That’s all,” Ling Hong said .

“Anything else?” Zhou Jia asked .

After all, Ling Hong ordinarily ate a lot . A single serving of Herbal Tea Eggs was definitely not enough for him .

“It’s ok . Just one Herbal Tea Eggs . But tell Compass to add some tea in the Herbal Tea Eggs,” Ling Hong said seriously .

“Ok,” Zhou Jia agreed after glancing at Ling Hong .

“The money is already transferred,” Ling Hong said as he showed his phone .

Zhou Jia nodded and went passing the order to Yuan Zhou . When Yuan Zhou saw the order, he spoke, “Ling Hong, why do you want to add extra tea?”

“Because I need to eat at home today,” Ling Hong spoke in a mysterious manner .
