"You say whatever you want, and we believe it. We're all human, what's the big deal?"
With a sneaky poke of his finger into Uncle Zhang's damp shirt, Xiao Feng wrinkled his brow and looked at Uncle Zhang with disdain. "It really is just tea!"
What do you mean it's just tea? It was tea to begin with! I told you all that earlier, but it seems you didn't believe me at all!
Old Zhou chimed in, and the Unreliable Duo plopped down on their chairs, feeling bored. They thought they had uncovered some incredible secret, but in the end, there was nothing—what a letdown!
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Huang, the shop is about to open. The boss sent us over to help shoot some promotional videos." To divert Old Zhou from continuing his line of questioning, Aunt Huang felt awkward enough to jump into the Youjiang River. It was necessary to redirect their attention.
Once the topic shifted, the atmosphere wouldn't be so awkward anymore!
"Is Xiao Tian and Xiao Yu coming over when the shop opens?" Aunt Huang asked as she sat down next to Xiao Yu, letting out a long sigh of relief.
They probably don't have time. They just bought a big yacht and seem to want to spend every night on it. If they had time, they would have already taken it out fishing! Watching Shi Tian and Kang Ziyu flaunt their yacht outside the shop all day made Xiao Feng feel a twinge of jealousy.
They had bought the yacht several days ago but hadn't taken it out for fishing yet. What were they doing just letting it sit at the dock? He even applied to be a crew member for free, but they turned him down, saying he should focus on taking care of Cha Dong first before taking him out for a spin.
Hearing that Xiao Tian and Kang Ziyu weren't coming made Aunt Huang feel a bit disappointed. With Kang Ziyu not around, she had to ensure the shop was running well. It was such a large establishment, and with Kang Ziyu investing so much money into it, she absolutely couldn't let her lose money!
As Aunt Huang cooked a few dishes, they chatted while eating and discussed promotional strategies for the shop.
Aunt Huang wasn't in a rush to promote her shop; she wanted to test the waters with Old Zhou's first. Once Old Zhou's shop took off, there would be plenty of ways to promote hers. Besides, that shop mainly targeted locals and didn't rely heavily on tourists.
After strolling along the riverbank and seeing Aunt Huang off, Old Zhou lingered expectantly, hoping Aunt Huang would invite him in for some water. However, Aunt Huang showed no signs of doing so.
Xiao Feng nudged Old Zhou and said, "Uncle Zhou, are you smitten with Aunt Huang? I heard from the boss that you want to win her over—how's that going?"
Old Zhou shot him a glare as he passed a cigarette over. He silently cursed Shi Tian in his heart. This Shi Tian really couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Seeing Old Zhou ignore him, Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhou, treat me to a duck tomorrow; I can help you out!"
Help how? If that were possible, he wouldn't mind treating a hundred ducks! Hearing Xiao Feng offer his assistance piqued Old Zhou's interest.
Young people are surprisingly effective; like Xiao Tian—if he had come up with such good ideas earlier, he would have already won over Huang Widow! Unfortunately, he felt he was falling short.
"Let's go; I'll take you to see a movie!" Pushing Old Zhou into the car, the Unreliable Duo sped off towards Yingyuan County City.
The downside of being here is that even watching a movie requires an hour's drive into town.
"Are we not taking Aunt Huang with us? What are we going to watch?" After pushing against the car door only to find it locked by Xiao Feng, Old Zhou realized he couldn't escape now.
"You don’t get it! If you don’t watch it beforehand, how can you bring Aunt Huang along? We need to prepare properly; let’s go see a horror movie. You have to pay close attention! Remember all the scary parts so you're ready when watching it with Aunt Huang!"
If Aunt Huang gets scared, let her snuggle up against you! If she's brave enough not to mind, then you can snuggle up against her too—but make sure to gauge her reactions carefully; otherwise, things might not go as planned!
While driving, Xiao Feng shared his experiences with Old Zhou. At this hour, he wondered if the cinema had closed. In such a small town, places often shut down early; by eight o'clock, Tea Dong Ancient Town was usually dark and quiet. He hoped Ying Yuan would have some nightlife to offer.
