Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After the train arrived, Hua Yu took Zhang Qiling for a walk on the streets of Changsha, but did not go to Di Xin and Qin Fuguang's residence.

"Brother, this place is different from Beijing."

"People in Peking are too cautious, afraid that they might bump into someone powerful if they're not paying attention. I'm not happy at all wherever I am."

Hua Yu looked at the endless stream of people on the street and the food sold by the vendors around.

"Sugar-coated baba, delicious sugar-coated baba."

Hua Yu couldn't walk when he heard the word "sugar". He broke his teeth from eating too much sugar in Peking, and there was no sweet food in his home afterwards.

This time, my brother didn't know about this matter, so naturally he had to eat a few bites quickly before Zhang Qiling knew about it. Otherwise, when Zhang Qiling knew about it, he wouldn't even be able to see it.

"Brother, I think that one is delicious. A lot of people are buying it. Let's buy one and try it." Hua Yu glanced at Zhang Qiling carefully, observing his expression.

Zhang Qiling lowered his head to look at Hua Yu who was nestled in his arms and nodded.

When the two of them arrived at the sugar-coated rice cake stall, there was only one left. They had just bought it and had not taken a few steps when they heard a gloomy voice coming from behind.

"Do you have any more? Give me one."

Hua Yu turned around and looked curiously.

I saw a young man in patched clothes with a rag bag hanging around his waist, which was heavy. His short hair did not give people a clean and neat feeling, but rather a gloomy look.

Hua Yu looked at the man standing in front of the sugar-coated rice cake stall, as if he was ready to overturn the stall if the merchant didn't give him money.

"Mr. Chen, there are no more. The last one was just bought by someone." The stall owner answered the previous question with trembling hands.

The boy turned around and saw Hua Yu looking back with a hot sugar-coated cake in her hand.

"Hey, sell me the sugar-coated rice cake in your hand for ten taels of silver." The young man walked forward quickly and stretched out his hand to take the sugar-coated rice cake from Hua Yu's hand.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand in front of Hua Yu, Zhang Qiling grabbed his wrist. The boy struggled for a few times but failed to break free.

He raised his leg and kicked towards the person who was holding his wrist.

Zhang Qiling turned around while holding Hua Yu, and raised his foot to block the boy's kick.

Hua Yu held the sugar-coated cake in her hand and looked at the boy who was fighting with Zhang Qiling, at a loss.

Before Hua Yu could think of a solution, the young man who had just blocked the way was pinned to the ground by Zhang Qiling, unable to move.

Hua Yu took a few steps forward.

"Here you go. I have a toothache and don't want to eat. Get up quickly. The floor is dirty."

Hua Yu looked at Zhang Qiling who had let go of the boy, then looked at the boy who was still lying on the ground, glanced at the sugar-coated cake in her hand, thought about her recent lack of appetite, and touched her cheek which was a little swollen due to toothache.

"Hmph, I don't want it anymore."

The young man looked at the sugar-coated cake handed to him, got up angrily, said something and ran away.

Hua Yu turned around and looked at Zhang Qiling who was staring at his face. He felt a bit of a headache and didn't know how to explain.

Hua Yu happened to catch a glimpse of a little beggar out of the corner of his eye. He ran over and stuffed the sugar-coated cake in his hand into the little beggar's hand, then pulled Zhang Qiling and ran away.

The little beggar held the hot sugar-coated cake in his hand, looked at the person who ran away, and was about to stuff it into his mouth greedily when it was snatched away.

The little beggar looked up and saw that it was the famous little bully in Changsha City. He didn't say anything, just took his things and ran away.

The boy held the slightly cold sugar-coated cake and glanced in the direction of Hua Yu who was running away.

He snorted softly, biting the sugar-coated cake while walking with a step that showed he didn't care about his relatives.

Hua Yu took Zhang Qiling and turned left and right all the way to the residence of Di Xin and Qin Fuguang in Changsha.

Hua Yu's face had long been spread everywhere by Emperor Xin and Qin Fuguang. There was no one working under Emperor Xin and Qin Fuguang who did not know Hua Yu.

The housekeeper told Hua Yu that the two masters were having dinner at the restaurant and had not returned yet.

"Which restaurant are Uncle Di and Uncle Qin in? I'll go find them." Hua Yu felt the gazes from behind, and hadn't thought of how to explain it for the time being. She could only delay it as long as possible.

"Young Master, Master Qin and the others are at the Luwei Restaurant. I'll take you there."

The housekeeper asked the servant to take the bag from Zhang Qiling, asked the maid to clean the courtyard, and then took Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling to find Di Xin and Qin Fuguang.
