“Don’t rush, there’s still time.”
The business was still okay, at least a bit better than she had expected.
After half an hour, she tallied up the sales and at least half of the items had been sold.
But there was one thing she had miscalculated, it was the mung bean soup. This item didn’t sell well. Whenever there were a lot of customers, the bowls run out quickly, and it was also inconvenient for customers to take away.
With her head down, she was organizing the items on the table when a person came up.
His appearance was a bit sloppy, and he carelessly placed the money on the table.
“Boss, I’d like six steamed buns and three fried dough sticks.”
As Fu Yuling raised her head, she recognized the familiar face.
The man also seemed to recall the previous embarrassing situation and said dryly, “It’s you?”
Fu Yuling nodded calmly at him.
Xiao Rui felt a bit uneasy. When he remembered of this person saying that he had eight wrong words in three sentences that day, even the thick-skinned Xiao Rui had wanted to dig a hole and hide back then.
Using the chopsticks, Fu Yuling carefully wrapped the buns and fried dough sticks in oiled paper.
“Your captain is also here?”
Hearing Fu Yuling’s question, Xiao Rui turned to look at the upright figure in the distance who was talking to someone else with his back facing them.
“Mm.”
Xiao Rui didn’t want to linger any longer. He could usually face any situation calmly, but he was particularly sensitive when it came to his studies.
“Is your captain’s ability very strong?”
Xiao Rui suddenly changed his appearance. He lifted his head proudly as if it was his own achievement. “He’s ranked among the top!”
Seeing Xiao Rui’s boastful expression, Fu Yuling’s previous hostility towards him lessened a bit.
“He seems to treat you quite well.”
While saying some trivial words, her hands continued to work.
“That’s because he beat me up for two years before starting to treat me well…”
Xiao Rui murmured softly, nodding on the surface.
“That’s good.”
Fu Yuling handed him the items, “All done.”
Xiao Rui took it and left with a word of thanks.
As soon as Xiao Rui left, Fu Qi immediately stood by Fu Yuling’s side.
“That person…”
“Don’t worry about it. If he comes looking for you, just say what you know.”
Fu Yuling naturally knew that Fu Qi was not referring to Xiao Rui, but to the tall figure standing in the distance, Li Yan.
Just as Fu Qi was still concerned, the child who had run away earlier came back. This time he was pulling his parents along, and there were a few more children of similar age.
“Mom, I want the monkey!”
“I want the little fish!”
“Dad, I want the apple!”
…
The parents lovingly caressed their children and looked at Fu Yuling with a smile.
“Since these are originally suitable for children, the prices won’t be too high, three cents each. You see…”
Hearing it was three cents, they heaved a sigh of relief, and their eyes became different.
“Then I’ll take one of each for my child.”
Other parents also shouted, “I’ll take two of those.”
Gradually, because of the loud voices of these few parents, it quickly attracted another wave of people. All the cute-looking items were quickly sold out.
Along with the other items, many more were also sold in a flash.
The speed at which they were sold left Fu Qi stunned at first and then calm later on.
Seeing that there would be no more customers, Fu Yuling began to tidy up and prepare to leave.
“Do you still have any buns?”
It was a familiar voice.
Even though the person in front of her had changed her clothes, Fu Yuling still recognized her at first glance.
Only this person’s face was now bruised and swollen, but her stubborn eyes still shone with a unique beauty.
“Yes.”
This person also seemed to recognize Fu Yuling and lowered her head to leave.
Fu Yuling called out to her and packed the remaining few fried dough sticks before stuffing them into her arms.
“Let’s go.”
