The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 615 - 614. Buy steamed buns?

After the third round of the calligraphy and painting contest had ended, Tang Shu was completely free.

Medical University had entered the summer vacation phase ahead of time, so she neither had to attend classes nor go to the lab, and thanks to Professor Yu pulling some strings for her, the matter of her pre-summer internship was perfectly resolved as well.

That day, after chatting with Professor Cao about artifact restoration for a while, Tang Shu headed to the address Wen Nuan had sent her.

However, when she stood in front of Yuh Ji Bun Shop, she couldn’t help but check the address again and again.

[Hutong No.104, East District No.35]

A small blue sign in front of the shop was firmly nailed to the wooden door, indicating its precise location.

This was the place, no doubt about it.

The alleyways of the East District of the Imperial Capital have a history of hundreds of years, and walking on the narrow paths one could feel the traces left by predecessors. Yuh Ji Bun Shop was an establishment with a century of history, surrounded by a vibrant atmosphere with many elderly men and women lining up and chatting away.

Tang Shu, wearing a black mask, paused in surprise for a moment and looked around, noticing someone glancing in her direction, then she pressed down on her black cap.

She squinted at the owner, who seemed just like any ordinary bun shop owner no matter how she looked.

Tang Shu took out her phone and called Wen Nuan.

"Xiao Shu, have you arrived?"

"I’ve arrived... are you sure it’s Hutong No.104, East District No.35?"

"Of course, Yuh Ji Bun Shop, oh right, remember to get ten buns when you come over, have them as your lunch."

After these words, the ruthless new supervisor hung up, leaving Tang Shu alone in front of the bustling bun shop.

She’s definitely doing this on purpose!

Taking a deep breath and planning to settle the score with the rightful person later, Tang Shu lowered her head and joined the end of the line.

It wasn’t until half an hour later, after the old lady with white hair in front of her bought five buns, that her turn finally came.

"How many buns for this beautiful lady?"

"Ten."

The man began packing with practiced ease, seeming to treat her like just another customer. Tang Shu’s gaze fell on the calloused tiger’s mouth on his hand, she was startled and took a closer look.

"Here you go, that’s fifteen yuan. Will you be paying with a QR code or cash?"

"I’m looking for Wen Nuan."

"..."

The man paused, then looked up to scrutinize Tang Shu, his gaze piercing, no longer as affable as before.

Tang Shu met his frosty, sharp look with calm, feeling a familiar aura hit her.

The aura around this man was similar to that of the mercenaries she had encountered in the deep mountains, and of course, even more similar to Su Xiaochi’s.

After a moment, the man across from her, Yuh Jieming, smiled and returned to his ordinary demeanor.

"No need to pay, consider it my treat. There’s a side door in the yard, and I believe the lady will find a way, right?"

With that, he even winked at Tang Shu.

Tang Shu gave a slight nod and took the packed bag, "Thank you for the tip."

***

Five minutes later, Tang Shu quietly appeared in the back courtyard of the bun shop.

Wen Nuan was sitting across from her with his legs crossed, holding a pair of chopsticks with a smile, waiting for her... and the buns she was carrying.

"Wow~~~ Fast, not bad at all."

"Aren’t you afraid I’d get hurt by the Hidden Weapons under the wall?"

The other person was surprised, raising an eyebrow in astonishment, "Are you really that useless?"

"..."

Tang Shu rolled her eyes to the sky, speechless, "Luckily Xiao Xi isn’t here, otherwise with a mom like you, who knows what kind of character the child would develop."
