Rebirth and Revenge: The Young Lady is Actually a Top Killer
Chapter 128 [Previous Life] First Snow, First Encounter (1)
A long time ago, an old-fashioned pastry shop opened in a long alley near Tianyue.
After thirty years of changes, the pastry shop has become famous and has attracted a large number of tourists to visit the store.
But as the years passed, the shop owner grew older and often could not withstand the enthusiasm of the customers.
Therefore, for the sake of her mother's health, the boss's daughter had to shorten the store's daily business hours.
But only local old customers know that after the pastry shop closes at 5pm, it will quietly open again at 8pm.
The one and a half hours after that is reserved for purchasing by old customers.
It was early December, and the imperial capital had just welcomed the first snow of this winter.
In this cold winter with the temperature below 7 or 8 degrees Celsius, Zhou Shiyan was forced to stay in the company and work overtime.
I also had to follow my mother's orders and go to the old lady's pastry shop near the company and bring back a bag of lotus cakes for her.
Zhou Shiyan complained in his heart: It’s snowing so heavily, how can the old lady open the door?
But abdominal slander is abdominal slander.
At 8:30 in the evening, he still put on his coat and scarf while cursing, refused Shan Sui's request to accompany him, and left alone with an umbrella.
When Wei Yu strolled over to Shan Sui with the documents in his arms, Zhou Shiyan had just crossed the road.
Looking at the tall back of his CEO, Wei's special assistant joked, "Hey~ Xiao Dan..."
"Do you think that our CEO is actually quite suitable to enter the entertainment industry?"
He put his five fingers together and stretched them towards the distance excitedly: "Our President Yan has such good looks and such a good figure! He is definitely the leading actor in an idol drama!"
Shan Sui asked in confusion: "Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry? Young Master has the ability and family background, so there is no need to rely on your looks to make a living, right?"
Wei Yu sucked his cheek and said in a bored tone, "Oh, brother. If you take it seriously, you will lose!"
"...Brother?" Shan Sui repeated calmly, "Xiao Wei, if I remember correctly, you should be one year younger than me?"
Wei Yu was almost vomiting blood because of his straightforwardness.
He asked sincerely: "Brother Shan Sui, are you a sultry weirdo?"
……
The snow was getting heavier.
The lights were on in the old lady's pastry shop in the alley, and there were a few old customers lined up in front of the door.
A tall figure walked towards the flying snow and stopped at the end of the team.
The man was dressed in black.
Black coat, black trousers, and black loafers that were almost completely covered by the trouser legs.
Even the umbrella in his hand was black.
The only color on her body is the warm red scarf tied around her neck.
If you look closely, you can see that the tassels at the bottom of the scarf are darker than the rest of the fabric.
Perhaps because the weather was too cold, most of her face was wrapped in a thick scarf, leaving only a pair of clear eyes exposed.
Even so, the extraordinary temperament she exuded still made her successfully attract 100% of the passers-by's attention after just half a minute of stopping.
But the "Luminous Body" himself is obviously used to it.
Despite being stared at frequently, she kept her eyes half-closed, one hand holding an umbrella and the other in her pocket, and no one knew what she was thinking.
There was no one behind her and the line in front of her was not long, so within ten minutes, it was her turn.
"Wow! Isn't this Yue girl? Grandma hasn't seen you for a long time!"
People who do business often have one significant characteristic in common: a very strong memory.
For example, this old lady who sells cakes.
She even recognized the customer just by looking at his eyes: "What do you want to buy today? Or the same as before?"
Jiang Siyue shook off the snow on the umbrella, took out his cell phone, and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah."
"Okay!" The old lady smiled and packed a portion of Longjing tea cake for her and handed it out the window. "What's wrong, girl? It seems that you are not in a good mood?"
Jiang Siyue touched the machine to pay, and then hooked the paper bag with her little finger: "No, grandma. It's just that it's too cold today, and my face is a little frozen."
She put her phone back in her pocket, pulled down the scarf covering her face, and smiled faintly: "I haven't been here recently. I've been busy preparing for the final exam."
"The Chinese New Year is earlier this year. It's more than 20 days before New Year's Eve. The school's winter vacation is also earlier."
"If I don't prepare early, I'll be the only one in the class who fails the exam. How embarrassing that would be, right?"
She stood in front of the window, the warm white light soaked into her eyes, floating soft waves.
The old lady stared at her twinkling eyes, her smile becoming more loving: "Oh~ That's true~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something.
He immediately raised his head and looked around the outside of the house.
After confirming that there were no customers at the moment, the old lady hurriedly said, "Hey, Yue girl, that's great! There's no one here right now, wait a minute!"
Jiang Siyue was just about to say goodbye to her when she was unexpectedly stopped.
Although she was a little confused, she still listened to the old lady's instructions, waited where she was, and stretched her legs.
Occasionally, in the quiet alley, you can hear the cries of animals kept by nearby residents, and occasionally pedestrians walk by, making a "crunching" sound as they step on the snow.
Jiang Siyue heard the old lady seemed to be stretching a paper bag.
At the same time, there was a steady sound of footsteps approaching at a steady speed.
Jiang Siyue raised her hand to pull up her scarf and glanced at the person who came without leaving a trace.
Ok……
do not know.
However, Zhou Shiyan noticed the black figure in front of the pastry shop from a distance.
His first reaction was: Damn, the door is actually opened!
He stood behind Jiang Siyue resignedly, typing rapidly on the phone with his right thumb.
[Your Majesty, how many do you want? It's cold, please return quickly.]
[Also... could you please not let your son do this job next time? If you are really worried, you can always ask Uncle Hua! ]
Five seconds later, the other end replied.
[Six! Thank you, son! ]
[Oh~ Mom, isn't this because the store is near our company? You're working overtime anyway! It's convenient and reassuring to ask you to buy it~ Kill two birds with one stone! ]
Zhou Shiyan gritted his teeth and replied: [Thank you.]
Then he turned off the screen of his phone and ignored the new message from Xie Ranzhi.
Coincidentally, just as he finished chatting, grandma came back.
"Girl Yue, have you been waiting for a long time?" The old lady handed a square paper bag to Jiang Siyue, "Here, take it, 'Zhuangyuan Cake'!"
"Although you are already a freshman, this is still an important final exam! This thing has a good meaning, just take it for a good omen!"
Jiang Siyue was even more confused and wanted to refuse.
But the old lady didn't give her a chance to refuse and immediately added: "Don't say no! This is a little gift from you as an elder!"
"You are the prettiest girl among all my regular customers! I like you from the bottom of my heart!"
"Hurry up and take it. Grandma has another guest."
Jiang Siyue was suddenly in a dilemma.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to accept it.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you, grandma, for your kind words!" She took the rope and thanked politely.
The old lady smiled and waved at her: "You're welcome! Come back when you're done! Be careful on the road!"
Jiang Siyue nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and left the alley.
The moment she turned around, Zhou Shiyan saw the upper half of her face.
I also smelled... the smell of rust that had been mixed in the wind and snow but was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.
It's the smell of blood.
It came through the girl's coat.
she……
