Shi Ji, who had been watching Zhou Xiangchen and others all morning to prevent them from causing trouble, saw that one person and one ghost finally came back. The depression on his face disappeared, and he stood up and asked.
"How is it? Where did the canteen owner go? Did he find anything?"
When Shi Ji asked this question, Zhou Xiangchen, who felt like he didn't know anything, stopped caring about eating and looked at Shi Ji and Lu Chen depressedly.
"What canteen owner? You are still going behind our backs. We are all trapped in this poor place, just like grasshoppers on a rope. If you have any information, there is no need to hide it, right?"
Lu Chen didn't answer the two of them. He heard footsteps behind him with his sharp ears and said coolly.
"Shut up."
His words made Zhou Xiangchen curl his lips. He didn't dare to challenge this mysterious young master of the Lu family, so he wanted to ask Shi Ji what he was hiding from them, but just as he opened his mouth, Ye Guilan came in from outside carrying a basket.
Zhou Xiangchen was frightened by a hanged ghost, and when he left the town, he encountered a ghost beating a wall. He was instinctively wary of the people in the town. When he saw Ye Guilan coming back, he immediately shut up, sat back on his chair like an uncle, and the deputy asked dissatisfiedly.
"Where has the lady boss gone? She has forgotten that we, the guests, haven't had lunch yet."
Ye Guilan's somewhat sunken eyes stared coldly at Zhou Xiangchen. When Zhou Xiangchen was stared at so hard that his skin crawled all over, she spoke.
"I'll do it right away. Today's ingredients are fresh, so several customers will be willing to wait."
Her words seemed to have some special meaning, and she seemed to just mean that the ingredients were fresh. Zhou Xiangchen was confused.
Not wanting to appear too cowardly, he snorted from his nostrils, folded his hands and watched Ye Guilan carrying the basket into the kitchen, then picked up Yang Kang'an who was huddled next to him and said contemptuously.
"Your courage is really less courageous than that of a cat. It was okay to be afraid of the pen fairy before, but now you are even afraid of the boss's wife. Are you cowardly?"
Yang Kang'an looked at Zhou Xiangchen, scratched his head, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and whispered.
"The landlady is gloomy. She looks at us strangely, as if she's looking at something. This town is weird. I suspect the landlady is also a ghost."
Zhou Xiangchen gave him a "good guess, don't guess again next time" look.
"Are you a pig? The boss lady has a shadow and can come out in broad daylight. How can she be a ghost!"
Yu Shu, who was floating around in broad daylight: This argument is not valid.
Lu Chen ignored them. After sitting down, he poured a glass of water and drank. Yu Shu sat on the chair next to him, playing with her long white fingers. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
Shi Ji glanced at Yu Shu, thinking he was secretive, and sat next to her.
"Brother Shi, why are you sitting across from me?" Wen Meng asked confusedly when he saw the chair vacated by Shi Ji.
Shi Ji and Lu Chen were cousins, and they had a good relationship. They used to sit together, but today they were separated by a seat.
When Wen Meng wondered if there was a conflict between the two, he heard Shi Ji say casually.
"You can sit wherever you want, there's no reason why."
Wen Meng bit her lip, twirled her fingers, and wanted to say something. Shi Ji smelled the sweet scent of candy on the little female ghost, and said something slightly awkward.
"I remember you brought some snacks here, can you sell me some?"
The little ghost girl is so beautiful, she should be eating expensive snacks. A large box of candies costing dozens of dollars at the canteen was eaten by the girl with great care. Her pink lips moved, and there were traces of sweet taste coming from her. The mouth overflowed, always making Shi Ji want to feed her something better.
"I brought some. What snacks does Brother Shi want to eat? I'll find them for you." Wen Meng thought this was Shi Ji's way of showing his goodwill to her, and said in a cheerful tone.
After all, no boy likes snacks. For a cool boy like Shi Ji, the word snacks had never been uttered in his mouth before.
