Chapter 182 Supply Suspension
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
Chen Yuan glanced around and saw people dragging suitcases who had traveled overnight from other places, an old man fanning himself wildly because of the heat, and many familiar faces.
Although the lights were dim, everyone's eyes lit up.
Moreover, every word and sentence expresses longing for what Chen Yuan made.
"Don't thank me, hurry up and cook, I'm so hungry, my wife cried from craving it last night."
"I didn't know what to eat for breakfast this morning since you weren't here."
"I want to eat steamed buns. Today I'm going to have a big feast of fresh meat steamed buns."
Chen Yuan entered the breakfast shop.
The room was filled with the familiar aroma of flour, the slightly sour smell of fermentation, and the steam rising from the porridge being cooked.
The shop had been cleaned up long ago; the cutting board was gleaming, and the steamer had been washed.
Aunt Li and Hao Hao were both busy.
Clearly, the two of them arrived much earlier than Chen Yuan.
As soon as Chen Yuan entered, Aunt Li quickly came to greet him, her gaze sweeping over him from head to toe like a searchlight, finally settling on his shoulder.
"Boss Chen, I was so worried when I saw you were injured. Does it still hurt? Did the doctor really say you're okay? Don't push yourself. If you really can't handle it, just tell me to mix the filling or something. I can do everything else."
"It's okay, I'm much better now."
Hao Hao brought over a cup of hot honey water from the side, wobbling as he nearly spilled it.
"Brother...brother, drink, drink water..."
Chen Yuan took the cup.
The hot, sweet liquid slid down my throat.
He could tell that these two people genuinely cared about him.
Chen Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and spoke very softly.
"Aunt Li, Hao Hao, I'm really fine now, don't worry. My bones have healed, and the doctor told me to move around."
Aunt Li nodded vigorously, her lips trembling slightly.
"Okay, okay, it's good that everything's alright. I came early and cleaned everything up. You two made up last night, so let's take it slow and not rush."
"Okay, no problem."
A sign was put up shortly afterward.
[Due to my ongoing recovery period, meat-filled buns, wontons, and other similar items will be temporarily unavailable today.]
[Three types of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, fried cakes, soy milk, and calming millet porridge are continuously available. Thank you for your understanding.]
Several low sighs immediately rose from the ranks.
A young girl who had come all the way from a neighboring city muttered softly.
"What a wasted trip. I really wanted to eat this meat bun."
But despite the complaints, everyone knew in their hearts that they were lucky to even get to eat there.
It's surprising that Chen Yuan was able to work in such a short time despite his injuries.
Complaints will soon be replaced by understanding.
Soon, the aroma of the food wafted out as usual.
Chen Yuan's movements were a little slower, but still steady.
Picking up steamed buns, serving fried dough sticks, handing out soy milk, and ladling porridge—all these actions are done in one smooth motion.
Besides the three of them, the volunteers who were assigned also arrived early.
With their help, Chen Yuan felt much more at ease.
Time flowed by in the orderly process.
The original plan was to close the stall at 10:30 a.m.
But by 10:20, the line not only didn't break up, it actually got longer and longer.
Volunteers were busy maintaining order, distributing bottled water, and guiding the flow of people.
But for some reason, no matter how they tried to persuade them, these people refused to leave.
Seeing this situation, Chen Yuan had no choice but to extend the business hours to 12 o'clock.
"Achoo—!"
Chen Yuan rubbed his nose.
Luckily I was wearing a mask, otherwise it would have been so unhygienic.
Chen Yuan changed his mask again, and Aunt Li, who was wrapping steamed buns beside him, asked worriedly.
"Boss Chen, what's wrong? I've sneezed several times this morning. Do you have a cold? Should you go home and rest?"
Chen Yuan waved his hand and joked.
"People say that if you think about someone, you curse them, and then you catch a cold, but I only sneeze once a time, so it must be because someone is thinking about me."
Aunt Li laughed and said, "It might really be true. You haven't looked in the mirror, but your ears are all red. It looks like someone has been talking about you behind your back."
Chen Yuan took it as a joke.
I never thought this was true.
Su Qingxue returned to school and spent the entire morning being mocked by Jin Xiaoruo countless times.
Jin Xiaoru laughed so hard she almost fell headfirst to the ground.
Su Qingxue: ...
Jin Xiaoruo narrowed her bright eyes, her tone revealing undisguised mischief.
"I'm not kidding, but you two have been living under the same roof for days. Suite, breakfast, camping—everything was provided, and what happened? Nothing at all?"
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Su Qingxue pursed her lips, then tried to justify herself.
"Isn't this what it means to take care of a child? I've already developed a deep bond with little Chen Youyou these past few days. How about that? Aren't I amazing?"
Jin Xiaoruo almost laughed herself to death.
Su Qingxue was furious and embarrassed. She raised her hand and punched her a few times to vent her anger.
Jin Xiaoruo said, "I'm starting to doubt your senior brother's sexual orientation now. Could he be interested in men? Logically speaking, you've already offered yourself up, how come nothing happened..."
Su Qingxue's ears instantly burned.
"Stop talking nonsense. Haven't you seen the news? My senior brother was beaten up recently and his bones are fractured. He's covered in injuries, and the doctor clearly said he needs to rest. He even has to be very careful when he turns over."
"I... I can't just ignore his health, can I? Besides, I don't like taking advantage of people in their vulnerable state."
Seemingly feeling that her explanation was a bit too weak, Su Qingxue racked her brains and began to find reasons for herself again.
"Besides, those two kids are there too, like two little light bulbs. They're even sleeping in separate rooms, so what kind of atmosphere is that?"
Jin Xiaoru laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"Oh, you're taking advantage of me now? You two are driving me crazy! I wish I could personally pin you both together. At your rate, I think..."
Su Qingxue glared at her, and Jin Xiaoruo dared not smile anymore, afraid that Su Qingxue would really get angry.
Su Qingxue bit her lip and said in a slightly embarrassed voice.
"Actually, the atmosphere was pretty good a few times, but... sigh, should I have been more proactive? I've done everything I should have said and done, but... sigh!"
Jin Xiaoruo sighed.
She stopped laughing, and her tone softened.
"Alright, alright, look at you. Actually, I think it's fine this way. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait."
"If a man tries to touch you inappropriately after only a few days of meeting you, that's truly despicable."
"I guess your senior brother is the slow-burn type. He'll build a relationship first, and then things will fall into place naturally."
"You just need to endure it slowly."
Su Qingxue: I really want to cry. When will this ever end?!
