006 Those eyes
Luo Xuyan stayed in the shop until the evening, and it was not until Xu Yaoyao urged her to go home for dinner that she reluctantly stepped out of the threshold of the shop.
Xu Yaoyao stared at her daughter, touched her chin, and said to Luo Banghao with a smile: "It's strange, why did Ah Yan suddenly have such a big interest in the shop?" In the past, I didn't mention a word, but today it seems like a different person. ”
Luo Xuyan "chuckled" in her heart, and was about to turn her head to explain a few sentences, when suddenly, a figure fell into her eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but stick to the person's body.
It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in brocade and jade crowns, with a sense of nobility between his gestures, and he seemed to be the son of a noble family.
She looked at the young man's figure with some familiarity, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
The young man was talking to the people around him, and when he turned his head, his eyes fell on Luo Xuyan's side.
At the moment of eye contact, Luo Xuyan gasped, couldn't help but take half a step back, and almost hit her mother's body.
Those eyes...... Like the man who ordered her to be killed.
She only had a one-sided relationship with the man, and she couldn't remember the appearance very clearly, but she remembered the eyes clearly.
Luo Xuyan's face suddenly turned pale, and hatred swelled in her heart.
"Ayan, what's wrong?" Xu Yaoyao held her shoulders and asked with concern.
Luo Xuyan hurriedly dodged his gaze, because the young man seemed to notice that he was paying attention to his every move, "I...... I'd like to go to the corner pastry shop and buy a snack. Mother, you go first, I'll catch up in a while. ”
Xu Yaoyao nodded the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat." As she spoke, she took out a few copper plates and stuffed them into her daughter's hand, "Come back soon?" ”
"I know!" Luo Xuyan saw that the young man was about to go away, hurriedly waved his hand, and then quickly chased after him.
The boy and his companion walked along the corner of the street, as the sun set and the afterglow fell on the street, and the pedestrians hurried to their quarters. As a result, she was able to hide her figure by pedestrians and quietly follow the boy.
Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far away, and there was some noise around her, and she couldn't hear their conversation clearly, so she couldn't be sure if the boy had ordered her to kill him.
That person colluded with the mountain bandits and disregarded people's lives, which is not a good thing, if she finds out something, she will definitely inform the government and wipe them out!
After walking for about a cup of tea, the boy flashed into a restaurant.
Luo Xuyan looked up at the signboard and hesitated.
The shopkeeper of this restaurant is surnamed Yang, and he has a grudge against the Xu family.
She blinked, quickly pulled a silk handkerchief from her bosom, covered her face, and then followed closely behind several guests and walked into the restaurant.
Now is the most lively time of the restaurant, almost full of tables, talking and laughing between cups and lamps, and the guys are busy shuttling around the lobby, delivering hot and fragrant meals.
Luo Xuyan glanced around, and soon noticed that the young man was going upstairs.
She did not follow closely, but hid in the corner and watched the boy enter a private room, and after the shopkeeper had sent the customer in, he came out of the private room with brisk steps, closed the door, and went downstairs.
"Whew-" She took a deep breath, looked left and right, and slipped up to the second floor as quickly as no one noticed.
There is a small room on the second floor, and the food is brought downstairs, which is first placed in the small house, and then sent to each private room by the beautiful and young maid who is responsible for serving on the second floor. And the cottage is next door to the boy's house.
She walked lightly to the front of the hut, and just as a maid came out of it, she dodged and hid behind the shelf next to her.
The maid didn't see her, smoothed the hair on her sideburns, and then raised a sweet smile and walked quickly to the private room.
Luo Xuyan waited for her to leave, and was about to slip to the window, there was a narrow small platform outside, and after going out of the window, she could follow the platform, hide under the window of the private room, and eavesdrop on the young man's words.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, the back of her neck was grabbed.
"Where did the little girl come from, scurrying around? Be careful I caught you, report to the officer......" The maid grabbed Luo Xuyan's shoulders and turned the person over, after seeing her face clearly, her face changed, as if she had encountered something powerful, she hurriedly shook off her hand and scolded: "You unlucky girl of the Xu family, what are you doing here?!" ”
Luo Xuyan replied calmly: "I'm sorry to go to the wrong place." With that, she walked out.
The maid was displeased and wanted to catch her again, but looking at the little girl who was a head shorter than herself, she paused with her outstretched hand, wiped it on her body a few times, and then chose to stop her.
"Don't go! Our good restaurant is contaminated with the bad luck of your family, you have to give us an explanation! ”
Luo Xuyan frowned, raised her hand and grabbed the maid's arm, and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Ahh The maid screamed in surprise, her face was full of horror, and she tried her best to shake off her hand, "Don't touch me!" ”
Luo Xuyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so she took advantage of the maid's time to dodge and ran away.
The restaurant was so bustling with activity that no one heard their quarrel, and no one noticed the maid's screams, and she ran out of the restaurant door unimpeded.
It's a pity...... She glanced back at the brightly lit restaurant, unable to figure out if the boy was the man.
When she looked, she couldn't wait for the boy at the door of the restaurant, otherwise her father and mother would be worried when she didn't come back for so long.
Luo Xuyan sighed and walked towards the pastry shop.
"Oops-"
As soon as she turned around, she bumped into someone, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Ah Yan, it turned out to be you? Do you want to eat here, too, and I just so happen to invite you to dinner, right? ”
"Aning, I'm just passing by." Luo Xuyan felt a few unfriendly glances at her, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to rush home for dinner, so I won't delay you." With that, she lifted her feet and slipped away.
Tan Yining saw that she was leaving, and subconsciously caught up with her, but was dragged by her family.
Tan's mother waited for her son and scolded: "How many times have you said it, don't get involved with the girls of the Xu family!" Her family is in the coffin business, and she deals with dead people all day long, don't you know how unlucky it is? She just touched your hand, maybe she just touched a dead man! Oops, I can't ask for this dress, but unfortunately I just made it for you. ”
Tan Yining muttered: "What about the coffin business, how can it be unlucky." ”
"Talking about Yining, what do you say?!" Tan Mu suddenly raised her voice, provoking the people who passed by to look at her.
Tan Yining couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and whispered, "I didn't say anything, mother." ”
