Sugar Jar [Rebirth]

In summer, the weather is hot.

A teahouse is located near the woods. This place was originally the only way to go to other cities. In the past, many travelers would pass by here. However, because a new official road was expanded by the government some time ago, it is more convenient for passers-by to come and go. It started to go barren.

Occasionally, pedestrians pass by here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the business of the teahouse is getting worse day by day.

A child ran out from the teahouse, followed by an elderly man. The old man came out with tea and some steaming steamed buns. Seeing the child jumping up and down, he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "You child, run away!" Run around, be careful of bumping into things."

The child stuck out his tongue, "Got it, grandpa."

They put things on the tea table and started to eat lunch.

Because very few people pass by here, the old store no longer cares about others.

The child took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, chewed and swallowed carefully, then moved his ears, and looked ahead curiously.

With a "plop", the bun in his hand fell on the table.

The old man frowned and taught a lesson: "Why are you so careless?"

The child said excitedly, "Grandpa, look!"

He pointed to the front.

Several carriages were coming this way, and when they passed by, yellow dust was rolled up, which blurred the sight in front of them, but it did not prevent them from hearing the sound of the approaching carriages and horses.

"Here's a guest." The child said excitedly.

It has not been opened here for a long time, and now I can finally see the past guests.

The old man hurriedly packed up the things here, and stuffed a steamed stuffed bun for the child to prevent him from starving.

When everything was packed, the carriage also stopped near the stall.

A man in black got out of the carriage first. He first glanced at the teahouse, his eyes fell on the grandpa and grandson, and then he looked away lightly.

With just one look, the shopkeeper knew that the guests coming were not easy, he was both afraid and uneasy, so he had to whisper to the child so that he would not disturb the guests.

Originally, the old man thought that this person was the one who could call the shots in their place, but he saw that this person softened his eyes and stretched out his hand towards the carriage, as if he wanted to pull someone down.

His white and slender fingers rested on his palm, and a touch of white immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

It was actually a man in white holding a kitten.

He has a gentle temperament and exquisite facial features, which can make people feel good at a glance.

When he got out of the car, he turned his head and smiled softly at the young man in black, that smile was pure and innocent.

That clean smile reminded the old man of his well-behaved and sensible child, and he couldn't help feeling a little kind.

"Are you going to rest here?" Shi Chen asked.

Xi Xin glanced at the surrounding scenery, nodded: "Well, it's right here."

He rubbed the white cat in his arms and smiled softly.

After hearing this, the servants reacted quickly and went to the teahouse, trying to clean up the tables and chairs inside one by one, so as not to stain the master's clothes with dust.

The child hid behind his grandfather and looked forward cautiously. His original expectations for the guests were completely wiped out by their actions, leaving only anxiety and timidity.

Xi Xin frowned slightly, and he looked at them, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still kindly didn't mention a word.

It was a little bit of a fuss for the people who originally just came out for a tour, but insisted on following.

From this point of view, the cart before the horse.

Shi Chen just glanced at him, and he knew what Xi Xin was worried about. He patted Xi Xin on the shoulder, signaling to reassure him, but then he looked at the person in front and said, "If you go on like this mother-in-law, you'll get out of here." Let's go back."

He didn't like them in the first place, if Xi Xin hadn't thought about their hard-won journey and acquiesced in their following, Shi Chen would have driven them away long ago.

A good cloud tour, being made by them as if they are doing something extraordinary, is simply annoying to death.

The servants stopped packing their things, shivered involuntarily, and looked at Shi Chen uneasily.

Xi Xin smiled and shook her head: "Don't be so troublesome, you can rest."

After receiving instructions, they dared to move and walked to the table in the corner.

After the two found a place to sit down, the store quickly made a new pot of tea and served it.

Xi Xin said: "Thank you."

The old man obviously didn't expect him to be so polite, he was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded to Xi Xin with a kind smile.

He went inside to get things, and the child was left behind to serve the guests.

Xi Xin scratched the kitten's chin, and it tilted its head to look at him and let out a soft, somewhat dependent voice.

As soon as the child heard it, his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to go forward, so he stood aside and looked at the cat in Xi Xin's arms with small eyes from time to time.

Xi Xin glanced sideways, then bent her eyes and smiled, and put Yuanyuan on the ground.

"Go and play." His voice was soft, just like his own, extremely soft.

Yuanyuan squinted her blue eyes, glanced at Xi Xin, and then at Shi Chen.

Shi Chen's attention was not on him, he stretched out his hand to wrap Xi Xin's hand, and slowly caressed Xi Xin's fingertips, the itch struck, making people chuckle.

The kitten turned away arrogantly, then ran up to the child with small steps.

"Meow!" it called to him.

The child was taken aback, "Are you hungry?" He tentatively handed the bun in front of it.

As soon as Yuanyuan's claws scooped it up, she snatched the little bun and held it in her arms.

The child smiled and opened his eyebrows, and said in surprise, "You're so smart!"

The voice suddenly appeared in the silent environment, and he realized that he seemed to be disturbing others, so he covered his mouth in panic.

Yuanyuan looked at him, and seemed to feel that this man was making a fuss.

"Candy?" The man in white walked up to him and reached out to the child.

He spread out his palm, and there were a few simple candies in his hand, exuding the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

The child looked up, and the fierce-looking man in black also came near his elder brother in white. The two of them were very close, as if there was a tacit understanding that no one could interfere with.

As if aware of his restraint, Xi Xin's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and that friendly smile instantly relieved his anxiety.

The child heard his nice soft voice, as sweet as candy, "It's really delicious, do you want to try it?"

He put the candy in the child's palm, then pinched his cheek.

The child was about to say thank you, but he saw the fierce man in black glaring at him, then he leaned over to his elder brother in white and whispered something.

Xi Xin stared blankly, and looked at Shi Chen strangely.

Shi Chen moved his lips, clearly expressing his protest with lip language.

He's just jealous, how about it!

The shopkeeper just came out at this time. Seeing the customers and grandson standing here, he was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously, "But did the child bother you?"

He brought the child over, as if he wanted to apologize.

Xi Xin quickly said: "No, he is very obedient."

Hearing these words, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and whispered to the child.

Xi Xin and Shi Chen returned to their seats, and then heard the child's childish speech, "Grandpa, the kitten can understand me!"

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he looked at Shi Chen with a smile in his eyes, but happened to meet Shi Chen's eyes that had been watching him.

Xi Xin's ears turned red, he took out the notebook he carried with him, recorded it, and drew the scenery here by the way.

The more untouched the scenery, the more it has its unique beauty.

What's more, it used to be so lively here, if I didn't write it down, wouldn't I let down the excitement.

Shi Chen looked at the correct handwriting on it, not only recorded the scenes he saw along the way, but also carefully attached the pictures for explanation.

Graphics and text coexist.

Xi Xin wrote something earnestly while Shi Chen watched carefully from the side.

The kitten is taken care of specially, even if it runs away for a while, it will not be in danger.

This is a picture that will appear every time they pass by a place.

Shi Chen tilted his head, and suddenly looked up the road, someone was passing by on the road.

He also didn't seem to have expected to meet acquaintances here, when he saw Shi Chen and the others, he was obviously taken aback, and then he got off the horse and handed over the pony to the boy following him.

"Uncle..." Shi Jinzhi saluted Shi Chen, and when he looked at Xi Xin, he seemed to be thinking about how to address him.

Xi Xin put down her pen after hearing the movement, looked up at him, and smiled.

That smile made Shi Jinzhi laugh too, and he called out, "Xi Xin."

"But do you have something to do?" Seeing him rushing all the way, Shi Chen already understood a little bit.

What happened in the previous life did not happen, and Shi Jinzhi's mother is still there, so he is not like the previous life, where he has no nostalgia in his heart, and he can do what he wants to do without desire or desire.

Shi Jinzhi nodded: "Something happened to Zhuangzi, and my mother asked me to go and check it for her."

"Need help?" Shi Chen asked.

"It's a trivial matter, so there's no need to delay your trip." He drank a bowl of tea, and after resting for a while, he put a bag of money on the table and planned to leave.

When he was about to leave, Shi Jinzhi accidentally saw what Xi Xin wrote.

He froze slightly.

"Excellent words?" This sentence almost blurted out

Xi Xin was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that someone would mention the answer to a riddle many years ago.

Only then did Shi Jinzhi realize his abruptness, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry."

The servant had already brought his horse over, Shi Jinzhi turned over and sat on the horse's back, suddenly smiled at Xi Xin and said: "If there is a chance, I will come to ask you for advice again."

With that said, he rode away on horseback.

The boy hurriedly followed.

Xi Xin looked away puzzled.

Shi Chen stroked his hair, causing Xi Xin to look up at him.

Shi Chen said: "You and Jinzhi will definitely become good friends."

Even in this life, by chance, they didn't have much chance to get in touch.

However, two people with such similar preferences can still become friends even if they only meet once or twice.

——Still covered.

Xi Xin tilted her head and suddenly smiled.

"Maybe."

The author has something to say: Shi Chen and Xi Xin's episodes have been updated, and the episodes of the previous life will be updated next.

The number of words in the past life episode should be very long, and it is not sweet, and it may be a bit heavy [after all, it involves separation or something]
