She Is From The Countryside

Shi Yan’s Eyes Darkened

They had only met twice. Although she had a good impression of Shi Yan, it was not to the point where she was worried about her safety. Shen Yuying only had such thoughts for Jiang Che’s sake... Or rather, for Shen Miao’s sake.

In the end, Shen Miao treated Jiang Che as her own junior.

If Shen Yuying was worried about this, how could Shen Miao not be worried at all?

Shen Miao said with a tinge of emotion, “This is not something that we should be concerned about. A person has to be responsible for his own choices. If Ah Che chooses a person himself, he should be the one to protect them.”

“It is his ability that can protect him, but he can’t...”

“Even with Ah Che’s ability, he can’t protect a person, so we can’t help him either, right? So why are you worrying over nothing?”

Hearing her words, Shen Yuying suddenly felt relieved.

“Master is so clear-headed.”

“Speaking of which, I was really scared just now. Fifth Master personally called you to make pastries, and he actually wanted to give them to a girl! If those who are familiar with Fifth Master knew about this, who knows how shocked they would be?!”

Noble and elegant, the flower of the high mountains could only be admired and not fall into the mortal world.

This had always been the Fifth Master in her eyes.

Of course, it was also the Fifth Master in the eyes of many people.

If she suddenly told them that the noble and otherworldly person might have taken a fancy to a girl and started to be tainted by the mortal world…

She didn’t even dare to imagine that scene.

She felt that her reaction was absolutely calm compared to that of others.

“We don’t care about other people. We just need to make sure that this matter doesn’t come from our mouth.”

This was a disguised reminder to Shen Yuying that what she saw and heard today should not be told to others.

“I know what’s important. Don’t worry, Master.”

Shi Yan and Jiang Rui came to a noodle shop.

It was a normal noodle shop by the roadside. Seeing that there were many customers and that the hygiene was good, Jiang Rui led Shi Yan into the shop.

The price of noodles in a noodle shop was between 8 Yuan and 15 yuan. Jiang Rui didn’t feel too burdened to let Shi Yan treat her.

Jiang Rui ordered a bowl of noodles, a large one.

Shi Yan didn’t order any noodles. Instead, she ordered a bowl of plain porridge, a small bowl.

Jiang Rui looked at the large bowl of noodles in front of her and then at the small bowl of porridge in front of Shi Yan.

“Xiao Yan, that’s all you eat? This noodle shop’s food tastes good. Do you want a bowl too?”

She had already eaten two mouthfuls of noodles, and the taste was not bad.

“No need. I’m not very hungry yet. Besides, I want to try some pastries.”

Shi Yan smiled and opened the pastry box on the table.

The pastry box was beautiful, but the pastry was even more exquisite. It was divided into two layers, and there were six pieces on each layer. It was obvious that each layer had a different flavor.

“This pastry is excellent just by looking at its appearance. No wonder even Fifth Uncle said it’s good. Little Yan, try it and see how it tastes.”

It was unknown whether it was because the pastry looked good or simply because it was a pastry that even Fifth Master Jiang had praised, but Jiang Rui actually almost drooled just by looking at it.

Actually, she didn’t share it with others. Shi Yan should take it back and open it again later. However, Jiang Che said that the taste was better when it was hot…

Shi Yan picked up a piece and took a bite.

Her eyes, which were rarely emotional, lit up.

“The taste is really good.”

Jiang Rui swallowed her saliva and resisted the urge to pick up a piece and taste it. She took a big bite and stuffed it into her mouth so she felt better.

“Fifth Uncle praised the taste. It should be true.” Then she sighed, “I didn’t expect Fifth Uncle to have such a familiar elder in Sea City. I’ve never heard of her. I guess even Grandma doesn’t know about her.”

Shi Yan paused while eating the pastry and looked up at her.

At that time, Jiang Rui had already lowered her head and continued eating the noodles. She didn’t see the confusion in Shi Yan’s eyes.

Suddenly, a questioning voice rang out in the noodle shop, shouting, “Why are you here?!”

Immediately after, someone pushed and knocked against their table.

“Xiao Yan, get out of the way!”Jiang Rui shouted.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Shi Yan had already nimbly picked up the porridge in one hand and the pastry box in the other and quickly got up to get out of the way. She was not affected in the slightest.

At the same time, Jiang Rui also picked up the Noodle Bowl and quickly got out of the way.

Other than a few drops of soup in the noodle bowl spilling on the ground, it did not have much of an effect.

“Xiao Yan, are you alright?”Jiang Rui asked anxiously.

Shi Yan shook her head, “I’m fine.”

Looking at the pastry box lid that had fallen to the ground before she could pick it up from the table, Shi Yan’s eyes darkened slightly.

She was sitting with her back facing the front door of the noodle shop. The person who was pushing was someone who had just entered the noodle shop, so it could be considered as a sudden push from behind her. Her actions were faster than her brain. She picked up the pastry box with porridge in her hands. Her hands were not free, so she did not have time to pick up the lid of the pastry box that she had opened on the table.

Her reaction was faster than Jiang Rui’s. Fortunately, she was sitting with her back facing the door. If it was Jiang Rui, the person who was being pushed might not have knocked down the table, but Jiang Rui’s back! Jiang Rui was eating noodles at that time. With such a collision, even if the table was not knocked down, her face would probably fall into the boiling soup!

No matter how good Shi Yan’s temper was, she was a little angry at this time.

Her smile had disappeared, and her slightly dark eyes swept over the person who had been pushed.

The person who had pushed and questioned was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. The person who had been pushed and knocked down onto the table was a middle-aged woman. She was wearing the uniform of a noodle shop attendant. She fell to the ground in a sorry state. No one knew if she was injured.

After creating such a big commotion, the girl was obviously frightened. With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, she seemed to be a little angry from embarrassment.

She did not apologize immediately. Instead, she pointed at the woman who had fallen to the ground and scolded, “It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t been a waitress here, would things have turned out like this? You should pay for it yourself. Don’t even think about making me take responsibility!”

“I’ve already told you not to be a waitress at the place where I eat. Why didn’t you listen? Do you think that I haven’t embarrassed myself enough?”

There were two girls standing behind the girl. They were a little shocked by this sudden scene, but when they came back to their senses, they looked at the girl who was shouting with disdain and ridicule.

Shi Yan had seen them last time when they were eating alone in a restaurant. They were a mother and daughter. The daughter was called Wan Rou, and the mother was called Xuan Liuying.

It was unknown whether she was shocked and didn’t react, or if she was really injured. The woman who fell to the ground didn’t make a sound for a long time.

As she watched, Jiang Rui had already placed the noodles on the table at the side and walked over to help her up.

“Auntie, are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I’m sorry that I almost dragged you guys into this. I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”

The woman apologized repeatedly, but she kept her head down and did not lift it up. Her voice was choked with sobs.

She looked pitiful as her tears fell down. It did not look like she was crying in pain, but more like she was disappointed, or even a little sad.

Seeing this, most of Jiang Rui’s anger dissipated.

Shi Yan looked at the situation and did not say anything. She put the bowl of porridge on the empty table behind her. She did not put down the pastry box. Instead, she bent down to pick up the lid.

She picked it up, took out a tissue, wiped it clean, and covered the pastry box again. Then, she turned to the person who was still shouting and swearing.

She walked straight over and kicked the girl who was swearing in the stomach.

With a bang, she kicked the girl to the ground, knocking the table to the side and shaking it.

The crowd stopped talking, the woman stopped apologizing and crying, and the girl stopped swearing.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.
