Chapter 33 Bruises on Shoulders
After making an appointment to meet at the night market later, Fu Chao took Qingxi back first.
Anyway, their home is not far away, only a 10-minute walk.
There is plenty of time, enough to take a nap and recharge for the evening business.
This is what Nanzhi planned.
So he temporarily turned off the live broadcast and took Nan Yi to lie down on the small bed.
She fell asleep quickly.
When I woke up again, it was about an hour later.
There was no one around, and there was no sign of Nan Yi at all.
The sleepiness was swept away, Nanzhi turned over and sat up, quickly looking around the room——
No one!
Nanzhi’s face turned pale!
My heart seems to be grasped by big hands!
She hurriedly got out of bed, put on her slippers and tried to stand up, but felt her legs were numb and fell straight to the ground...
"Careful!"
Nan Yi came back at this time.
When he pushed the door open, his right foot seemed to be injured and he walked with a limp.
Nanzhi just lowered his head to hold the edge of the bed, so he didn't notice this detail.
When she stabilized her body and raised her head again, Nan Yi had returned to normal, rushing over like a small cannonball!
“Are you okay!”
His black eyes, as beautiful as glass, looked at Nanzhi without blinking, full of anxiety and nervousness.
Nanzhi took a deep breath, and the discomfort in her body gradually faded away.
She tried to persuade herself to be calm and communicate well with her children.
But the anger still rose uncontrollably.
She questioned word by word:
"Where have you been?"
Do you know how worried I was when I didn't see you when I woke up?
Even thought that my return...
It was just another dream!
Nanyi subconsciously took a step back.
He felt the suppressed emotion in Nanzhi's tone, and memories of being beaten and scolded in the past were swirling in his mind, and he almost instinctively wanted to hold his arms to protect himself.
"I...I..."
His little body was shaking uncontrollably, like a frightened bird.
Seeing this, Nanzhi felt a chill run through his whole body, his brain jumped and he woke up quickly!
“Sorry.”
Nanzhi murmured helplessly, and the anger disappeared without a trace.
Nanyi in front of her lowered her head, hiding all the emotions on her face in the shadows, and did not answer the question.
An abyss of silence opened up the distance between the two.
It seems like a few days ago, when she first came back, Nan Yi was wary of her, like a little hedgehog with thorns all over his body.
Nanzhi felt a headache, as if all her efforts these days had been in vain.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, trying to speak as softly as possible:
"I just woke up and didn't see you. I was too worried... I'm sorry, I shouldn't be angry at you. But, tell me before you go out next time. Can I say something?”
Nanyi raised her head tentatively.
Those dark and sharp eyes seemed to be observing and judging.
After a while, soft tentacles carefully stretched out from the snail's shell.
Nan Yi: "Yes, I'm sorry."
Nan Zhi hummed softly.
Next, although the mother and son did not have any bad feelings, they were still a little embarrassed.
They divide the work quietly but tacitly - turn on the live broadcast, tidy up the room, and put away the ingredients.
And when the appointed time arrives, go to the night market in advance.
The audience in the live broadcast room did not notice anything wrong between the two.
[Online shareholders are gearing up, it’s business hours again! 】
【Curious if there will be a new menu tonight? 】
【Why do I feel that the mother and son are a little silent? What happened? 】
【Don’t they always talk little? 】
[I’m more curious about the person who painted the starry sky in the live broadcast room at noon. One prop is 30,000. This guy has painted so many, so generous! 】
……
Nanzhi Nanyi pushed the dining cart to the entrance of the night market. From a distance, she saw Fu Chao wearing a peaked cap and standing there holding Qingxi.
Qingxi waved happily and ran over:
"Brother Yiyi! Beautiful aunt!"
A faint smile appeared on Nanzhi's face. Nan Yi's expression also softened a lot.
"Run slowly, don't fall."
Fu Chao reminded his nephew, walked quickly, and took the initiative to take over the dining car.
Nanzhi did not refuse.
After all, they have to work together next, and they are regarded as... temporary boss and employee?
“Come with me.”
Nanzhi walked in front and led the way.
Qingxi pulled Nan Yi, who was slightly quiet, close to her side.
But Fu Chao pushed the dining cart and fell to the end.
Fu Chao saw the food stuffed in the car:
"So much? Will it be impossible to sell out?"
Nanzhi paused, looking strange:
"You didn't watch the show yesterday?"
Fu Chao coughed awkwardly:
"...I was too tired to record the program and slept all day."
So I didn't go online for the whole day. I had no idea how many ups and downs the program had gone through yesterday.
Nanzhi simply said:
"You will know later."
Fu Chao was curious, but did not ask further questions.
They arrived at the location where Nanzhi had set up his stall yesterday.
This place is empty, and there is no such thing as being occupied in advance.
But Nanzhi soon learned that it wasn’t that it didn’t happen, but that it was stopped——
“Xiaonan! You are here!”
The eldest sister from the stall next door, When he saw Nanzhi, he smiled brightly.
Indispensable among them was the fact that the eldest sister’s sausage business had doubled five or six times yesterday because of Nanzhi.
So, when the eldest sister saw Nanzhi, she not only laughed, but also came over and complained in a low voice:
"Do you remember the couple who imitated you in selling fried rice? They still want to occupy this position today. But we stopped him! Don’t worry, this will be your fixed stall from now on, and we will protect you!”
Nanzhi didn’t know that this happened.
Stunned for a moment, she quickly thanked her sincerely:
"I'm really sorry to trouble you."
The eldest sister waved her hands repeatedly:
"Where is it! Thanks to your fried rice, the night market business is much better than usual! I will ask you to continue in the future Take care of me!"
After saying that, he stuffed two more hot sausages into Nanzhi.
After observing Fu Chao for a long time, he asked softly:
"Your fried rice business is so good...ah."
He seemed to have asked a stupid question.
Is he worthy of questioning Nanzhi’s cooking skills?
“Yeah.”
Nanzhi lowered his eyes absentmindedly and gave him a sausage.
She was thinking about that couple——
The first time they provoked her, she endured it for the sake of the show.
But nothing can be done differently, and her patience has its limits.
A cold light flashed across Nanzhi's eyes quickly.
Fu Chao bit into the grilled sausage and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Just at this time, Qingxi ran over:
“I have to go to the toilet... Uncle, you can eat alone!”
Fu Chao quickly stuffed the leftover half of the sausage into Qingxi’s mouth. Gagged him.
And asked Nan Yi who was following slowly:
“Do you want to eat grilled sausages?”
Nan Yi shook his head.
“Shall we go to the toilet?”
After hesitation, Nan Yi nodded.
Fu Chao informed Nanzhi and took the two children to the public toilet in the night market.
Halfway through the walk, a noisy little boy ran by and accidentally bumped into Nan Yi’s shoulder.
Nan Yi: "Hiss."
"Are you okay?"
Fu Chao wanted to check whether Nan Yi was injured.
When he lowered his head, he could see clearly the small bruises on his thin shoulders through the collar of his T-shirt.
Fu Chao’s face suddenly turned cold!
Advance to tomorrow v! So the next chapter starts with Chapter V!
