Chapter 171
The snow is getting heavier.

The room is warm and lively, the sound of mahjong clinking in the living room is crisp, the background sound of the TV is quite loud, and laughter can be heard from time to time in the movie hall built on the first floor...

Lan Xi went upstairs and took out a black woolen coat from the cloakroom, took out a fisherman hat and put it on her head, put on Martin boots, and went out the door silently with a pot of clear water in her pocket.

Bai Muyu saw it sharply, and was about to stand up but was stopped by Han Xiao.

"Don't worry, she will come back as soon as she goes."

The heavy snow fell one after another, Lan Xi drove to a remote long street, the whole street was brightly lit, all the shops on the street were closed, only one noodle shop was still lit.

Lan Xi opened the door and went in. The boss behind the counter saw Lan Xi's eyes light up, and looked sideways at the clock on the wall. It was twelve o'clock in an hour.

"Yo, you're here, I thought you wouldn't be here."

The boss is a simple and honest man with a cropped cut, black hair mixed with white hair, and dark skin. He smiles and reveals a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

"Well, it's late this year."

Lan Xi put the wine in her arms on the table.

The boss clasped his hands in front of him and said with a smile, "Old rules?"

Lan Xi nodded and smiled.

"Ah."

The boss is a foreigner, cheerful and open-minded.

Back then, he and his wife opened this noodle shop here. Later, his wife died of illness, and his daughter married abroad. Now he is left alone. At first, his daughter came back to visit, but after having children, fewer came back.

Originally, my daughter wanted to take him abroad, but he didn't want to after all. Staying outside, how could he be comfortable in his own land?

Suddenly, the boss stared in the direction of the door for a moment, then smiled.

"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"

Someone came to look at the storefront, the store is not too big, there are six or seven tables, it is clean and tidy, and the menu is posted on the wall, which is clear at a glance.

He went straight to Lan Xi and sat down. The boss saw that the person who came here knew Lan Xi, so he didn't say much. He was turning back into the back kitchen when he heard a deep male voice behind him.

"A plate of peanuts and a slice of cucumber."

The boss turned sideways, his eyes wandering directly between the two.

Nodding and smiling, "Okay, wait a minute."

After a while, he quickly brought out peanuts and cucumbers, and took out three wine glasses.

Xiao Mochi looked at the extra cup with some curiosity.

Lan Xi opened the wine and filled the three glasses.

He picked up the wine glass, touched the glass on the empty seat, drank the wine in the glass, and filled another glass for himself.

"I was picked up by my master next to the trash can in this street. I was tired and hungry at the time, so the master took me to eat a bowl of noodles in this shop."

"Your master is Lan Yuan? It's the vice president of the Medical Research Institute."

Lan Xi nodded, the corners of her lips curved.

"You found it after you came out of Anle Ancient Alley."

"Yes."

Xiao Mochi's eyes darkened slightly, he picked up the wine glass and touched Lan Xi, and took a sip.

Ever since he learned about the relationship between Lan Xi and Han Xiao, he started to investigate from the direction of Han Xiao's father. What he didn't expect was that Han Luyang's master was still an old acquaintance with Shen Liang (Shen Yi's grandfather). 15 years ago, I suddenly resigned and returned to my hometown.

Unexpectedly, after that, he started to set up a stall and sell vegetables in the slums and lived a humble life as a low-level person.

"Master has lived in a poor area since he was a child, which is the root of the master. Later, he went to Dongshi as an apprentice. He is a very powerful doctor. It is no exaggeration to say that his acupuncture techniques are considered to be the best in today's Chinese medicine field. .”

Xiao Mochi looked at her seriously and listened to her so quietly.

After drinking another glass, Lan Xi continued to fill up the wine.

Raising his eyes to meet Xiao Mochi's unique pair of Ruifeng eyes, his voice was extremely light.

"Xiao Mochi, like you, I have been genetically modified."

Hearing this, the astonishment in Xiao Mochi's eyes flashed away, like ripples on the surface of a lake, and soon calmed down.

"The master resigned because of me. He and his brother spent a lot of time to treat me. An accident three years ago, I lost the chance to meet the master and brother. I don't believe they are dead. God is behind the scenes. .”

As soon as the words fell, Lan Xi drank another glass on her own, noticing the corners of Xiao Mochi's mouth slowly curling up, Lan Xi picked up the wine and poured herself a glass at the same time.

"Why are you following me? Don't say it's to drink with me."

He laughed lowly, with a slight smile at the tip of his eyes, a deep and uncertain light flickered in his dark eyes, condensed into two sparks, fleeting in the depths of his eyes.

Knuckle fingers caressed the wine glass.

"I'm very happy that you can take the initiative to share your affairs with me. Would you believe me if I said that I followed you to meet you by chance?"

"Xin, after all, it's not the first time you've followed me."

Putting on Master Long's mask, I don't know how many times I followed him.

Lan Xi's mood eased a little. She picked up a peanut with her chopsticks and threw it into her mouth, her posture was a little loose.

"This is for you, happy new year."

Xiao Mochi took out a brocade box from his coat pocket and put it in front of Lanxi.

Open it, and there is a sword hairpin lying quietly inside.

"I carved this out of my own sword, I don't know if you like it or not."

The corners of Lan Xi's lips twitched, she took a few glances, and then closed them.

"just OK."

This sword hairpin is carved very meticulously, and it is a hairpin that can replace a dagger as a short blade.

From Lanxi's micro expression, Xiao Mochi felt her joy and was full of joy.

"Come here~"

The boss is carrying a tray with a bowl of noodles and a cold beef dish on top.

"Come on, be careful it's hot."

He put the noodles and beef in front of Lanxi with a smile.

Every time Lanxi came here, he would order these two dishes. He vaguely remembered Lanxi's scrawny appearance when he was a child.

At first he thought it was the old man who brought her here who treated her harshly, but after the old man ordered beef noodles for her, seeing that she loves meat, he ordered a plate of beef specially, and his doubts were dispelled.

From then on, they would visit his shop every once in a while, and they gradually became acquainted.

Until the New Year's Eve three years ago, Lan Xi was the only one who walked into his shop in a daze, and since then she has been alone.

But this year is different.

"Boss, let's sit down together."

Lan Xi smiled and beckoned the boss to sit down. The boss doesn't drink, otherwise she wouldn't drink alone until late at night here in recent years.

"Wait for me, I'll give you all the appetizers, and you chat first."

The boss looked at the two of them in a good mood.

I am secretly happy for Lan Xi, finally someone can accompany her, and his shop is quite lively on New Year's Eve this year.

Lan Xi and Xiao Mochi drank until late at night. Although the boss didn't drink, he was very talkative and had a good time.

Lan Xi shook the bottle, but there was no sound in it, and there was not a drop left, and she hadn't finished drinking yet.

"My house has other wines besides Qing Ruokong. If you want to continue drinking, I will accompany you."

A flash of light flashed in Lan Xi's mind, she almost forgot to order thirteen jars of wine from Xiao Yichen in Anle Ancient Lane.

"it is good."

With a sweet smile, there was a sense of spirituality on his straight cheeks, and there was a hint of charm in the fox's eyes, and his frown and smile touched his heart.

Before leaving, the boss deliberately lowered his voice and whispered to Xiao Mochi: "She is a good girl, she still can't accept the fact that her master is not here, I can see that you like her, and I hope you don't let her down if we are together in the future her."

Xiao Mochi nodded, the sharp eyes in the past turned into softness, and his voice was joyful.

"With your good words, if I am lucky enough to be with her, I will definitely not let her down."
