Chapter 26 - Chapter 24: Gu Yingxue's Neither

The second day of selling braised meat was also successful. Gu Yingxue closed the stall making many people disappointed.

"Sorry everyone! Today, all the meat was sold out! Please come tomorrow!"

Once Gu Yingxue announced that they were sold out, a brave one came forward and asked,

"Boss, if I bring some pork knuckles, can you stew them for me?"

Hearing his question, not only Gu Yingxue but also all the people who stayed at Gu Yingxue's stall were dumbfounded.

"Hey, can we really play like that?"

"Wow! That brother is a genius."

Suddenly the whole crowd started to talk about it. Gu Yingxue saw that the crowd was going in the wrong way, so she quickly stopped them.

"Sorry, sir, I can't do that."

"Why?"

"The first thing is, if you bought some, other people also will buy, but then I can't guarantee the safety of the food."

"Second is to make braised meat; we need a long time for preparation and the cooking process also needs at least 2 hours."

"This method can't be done. Sorry!"

"If you want to eat, please come again tomorrow."

"I will make more for tomorrow."

After Gu Yingxue explained her situation, everyone understood her challenges. They agreed to her promise to make more tomorrow and then left.

"Sigh..."

Gu Yingxue sighed as she watched the crowd disperse. Once she closed her stall, she headed home.

Zhou Moting returned home early today because his niece was running a fever. He was surprised to encounter someone he recognized.

As Gu Yingxue stepped out of the elevator, she was met with a pair of deep, beautiful eyes that could make anyone falter.

In that instant, both Gu Yingxue and Zhou Moting locked gazes, as if time itself had come to a standstill.

After several minutes passed away, Zhou Moting broke the silence.

"You are... the one who runs the steamed bun stall at Food Street. Am I right?"

Even though he recognized her already, he still asked with some confusion.

"Ah! Hello! Yes, I was the one who ran that steamed buns stall."

Gu Yingxue replied awkwardly.

"Hello, boss!"

"Ah! Don't call me boss; outside of the stall, it's a bit awkward."

Gu Yingxue felt like she was burning with embarrassment.

"Sorry! I didn't think about it. But I don't know what to call it."

Zhou Moting apologized to her quickly, seeing that she was embarrassed.

"My name is Gu Yingxue. You can call by name."

"Ok then. By the way, I am Zhou Moting."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

Gu Yingxue felt so happy to learn his name, but she made sure not to show it outside.

"Don't call me Mr.; you also can call me by name."

"By the way, are you living on this floor?"

"Yes, I live at No. 2002."

"No: 2002?"

He asked with confusion.

"Yes, is there any problem?"

Gu Yingxue asked him.

"No, no. I just thought, is there such a coincidence?"

"Coincidence?"

"Hmm... Actually I live at No. 2001."

Hearing he was a neighbor she had never met before, she was surprised.

"Then, are you Rouwei's uncle?"

"Yes, how do you know Rouwei?"

Just then he was surprised because she actually knew about him even though they hadn't met before.

"Yeah! When we first moved here, we met Rouwei and LeLe!"

Two of them chatted for a while. If Zhou Rouwei saw that his uncle can talk so much, she would definitely be shocked.

After talking for a while, both of them came to their sense and remembered what that are going to do before.

Gu Yingxue looked at garage bags that Zhou Moting carried, then quickly apologized to him.

"Sorry! I forget that you going downstairs to throw the garbage."

Zhou Moting instantly looked the garbage bags in his hand,

"It's ok! I am sorry too. I took lots of time."

"Ah! It's ok, I am heading home anyway. Then I am going. It's nice to meet you here."

Gu Yingxue pointed towards her home while saying.

"Ok, If possible, let's meet again."

"Then I am going too."

Zhou Moting clicked the button on elevator, while looking at her.

After going back to house, she quickly closed the door and leaned on it and touched her heart with blushed face.

Grandma came out hearing door opening sound, and saw Gu Yingxue leaned on door while touching heart. Instantly she walked over to Gu Yingxue's and asked her while checking her.

"Aying! Are you ok? Why are you rubbing your heart? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Grandma quickly asked several questions without letting Gu Yingxue to answer any of them. Just then she quickly grabbed grandma's hand.

"It's nothing grandma. I am not sick. I just thought about something. Don't worry?"

"Ok then! But if you feel uncomfortable, you have checked it immediately, you know?"

"Ok grandma, I know!"

Gu Yingxue quickly rest assured her grandma and pulled her into the house.

Meanwhile, Zhou Moting went downstair to threw garbage and quickly come back.

When he came back, Zhou Rouwei was still sleeping. Then quickly checked her fever and changed the cool patch on her forehead and went back to living room.

LeLe saw that his master was came back, instantly run toward him and rubbed his furry head on his leg.

"LeLe, do you know about our new neighbour?"

Zhou Moting asked him while rubbing his head.

"Woof! Woof!"

LeLe barked at him twice as if saying "yes, I know."

Just then a smile come to his mouth and his eyes lit up.

Next day morning,

"Aying! I forget to tell you yesterday, that little girl in next door was sick."

Grandma told her while eating breakfast.

"Sick? What happened?"

"Is that serious?"

Gu Yingxue asked with concerned.

"No, just fever. I met his uncle yesterday, he told me."

Just then Zhou Moting handsome face came to her mind. But she quickly shocked her head.

"Aying! How about you make some nutritious food for her."

"Hmm... That's fine. I also just think about making some food for her."
