Chapter 43: Purple Yam and Black Rice Porridge

Even though it had already been decided that they were going to H City, Shen Fu didn't plan on bringing Lin ShuYi home right away. After all, Shen Fu hadn't thought of a reason to persuade Lin ShuYi to come visit his house yet. Moreover, if he brought Lin ShuYi back too rashly, it was hard to guarantee that his grandpa wouldn't say something he shouldn't say because he was given a fright.

In the end, Lin ShuYi was still only eighteen. It was truly a bit too soon to lay a hand on him. But if he didn't leave his mark, and Lin ShuYi ended up being stolen away by somebody else midway, what would he do? So Shen Fu's idea was to first channel his everything into Lin ShuYi before Lin ShuYi could love somebody else. Then, he could peacefully wait for his shameless, happy days.

Shen Fu felt like he shouldn't be too happy with this way of thinking.

On the contrary, Lin ShuYi wasn't actually in that much of a rush to go out and play. After all, in his heart, right now XiQin Restaurant was the most important, but XiQin Restaurant wouldn't be fixed for the time being. He didn't really have anything to do even if he stayed at home, so he agreed to Shen Fu's proposition to go to H City the next day.

Old Man Yang knew that they were leaving the next day, so he started bustling back and forth, thinking about what he should pack. Even though Shen Fu felt like they didn't need anything at all, he also felt like there was no harm in bringing along the luggage that he saw Old Man Yang help them pack cheerfully. In any case, he would be driving back himself, so it didn't matter how many things he brought.

Old Man Yang didn't know that Shen Fu was going to his old home; he was still under the impression that the two of them were going to go travel with a tour group like the rest of them had.

After he had packed half of the things, he ran out to ask Shen Fu.

"Have you two booked the tour group yet? What train are you taking? Where are you meeting them?"

Shen Fu was currently on the phone with somebody, his features spread in a smile. When he heard Old Man Yang call for him, he turned his head while he told the person on the other end of the phone, "Just wait. Get over there tomorrow and greet me." Then he hung up the phone. "Grandpa, what did you just say? I didn't hear you."

Old Man Yang repeated, very patiently, "Aren't you two leaving tomorrow? It can't be that you haven't booked your tour group yet, right?"

Shen Fu laughed. "Grandpa, we aren't intending to go with a group. I want to take Lin ShuYi to H City. My home is there, so we don't need to go with a tour group. I'm very familiar with the area."

Old Man Yang widened his eyes. "H City?"

Shen Fu nodded.

Even though H City wasn't the capital city, it was near the seaports, and it was also a major city that went hand in hand with the country's finance and trade. It was also an important center of shipping, so even though it wasn't the capital, it flourished a bit more than the capital.

Shanghai was also a city filled with capitalists and the bourgeoisie. Rumor had it that if a sign randomly fell in the middle of the street and hit ten people, eight of them would be rich. So the moment Shen Fu said that that was where his home was, Old Man Yang at last sort of understood what was up with Shen Fu.

But why was Shen Fu bringing Lin ShuYi there?

Old Man Yang was a little suspicious. "Then are you two taking a train there tomorrow?"

Shen Fu shook his head again. "Driving. In any case, it's not far."

S City and H City were indeed not far from each other. Even if they left from here, it would only take two or three hours by car.
