"You really don’t know?" Mo Qishen’s dark expression lightened a bit.
"Really, I swear." Ni Yang held up three fingers.
Mo Qishen continued, "Then what were you just talking to him about? You two seemed quite happy chatting."
Ni Yang replied, "I told him my boyfriend has arrived, didn’t you see me pointing at you just now?"
With that explanation, Mo Qishen was completely relieved, "What shall we have for lunch?"
Ni Yang thought for a moment, then said, "Let’s go to Color and Fragrance, I’ve been craving Tiramisu."
"Alright."
This was Mo Qishen’s third visit to Color and Fragrance.
Color and Fragrance was a renowned restaurant in Beijing, and though it hadn’t been open for long, it had revolutionized the dining scene in the city.
"Yangyang, Color and Fragrance is your business, isn’t it?" Mo Qishen turned to look at Ni Yang.
Ni Yang was surprised and asked, "Mo Brother, how did you know?"
Mo Qishen had been particularly busy for a while, and Ni Yang wanted to keep it low-key, so she hadn’t told Mo Qishen about Color and Fragrance. But to her surprise, Mo Qishen had guessed it.
His thin lips curved slightly, "I recognized your style at first glance."
An old era had just ended, and at this time, the national sentiment favored Western culture.
Vintage culture was seen as old-fashioned and rotting, and few would decorate a restaurant in a traditional Chinese retro style, let alone employ Hanfu costumes as a uniform for the waitstaff.
"Mo Brother, you’re really smart," Ni Yang offered her praises without stinginess.
"Of course," Mo Qishen adopted Ni Yang’s usual arrogant tone, "Otherwise, how could I be your Mo Brother?"
Time flew by, and before they knew it, another week had passed.
After spending over a month with Ni Yang, Mo Qishen had to get busy again.
Before he left, Mo Qishen took Ni Yang to visit Grandpa Du.
Just like last time, Grandpa Du was sitting in the Buddha Hall, chanting scriptures.
Hearing the familiar sound of the wooden fish, Ni Yang whispered, "Mo Brother, is your Big Brother Du renouncing worldly pleasures?"
Mo Qishen nodded, "It’s very possible. However, Big Brother Du still has many things to sort out. I guess he won’t become a monk anytime soon."
