After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 141, Episode 0146: Uncle Cai Appears

Lin Yuexi intentionally kept her presence low-key, and her arrival went unnoticed.

She deliberately chose an empty seat in a corner and settled Xiao Zhaohua in first.

Just like the state-run restaurants, you have to order your food at the window yourself. Forget about the kind of service where a waiter comes to take your order. These days, only hotels that entertain foreign guests offer such a service. Fuxing County was only allowed to open such a large guesthouse because it has the convenience of having a train station nearby.

The main dish was steamed buns. Just then, the waiter brought out a steamer full of six buns ordered by someone nearby. Lin Yuexi saw that each bun was bigger than her face, and thinking of the exquisite buns in her space that were only the size of her fist, she immediately said to the waiter:
"I want a steamed bun too."

The waiter wasn't surprised at all; their cafeteria's steamed buns were their specialty, and almost everyone who came to eat there would order one or two, so it wasn't unusual.

"How much do you want? Tell me first. The cafeteria didn't take much meat today, only a few steamers left. We need to buy it quickly, or we won't be able to get any when the people across the street come over."

The waitress was a neat and efficient woman whose clothes were a little worn but very clean. She had a gentle smile and, seeing that Lin Yuexi was a pretty girl she didn't know, knew that she was from out of town and kindly reminded her.

I don't know what the uncles in hats across the street have been up to lately. Most of them don't go home all day long, and they just eat whatever they can find.

Unfortunately, the police canteen seems to have been temporarily closed due to some incident, so I come here every day to buy steamed buns and mantou. If customers are slow to arrive, these two won't be able to get any.

Lin Yuexi had originally intended to buy everything, but after being reminded by her, she felt a little embarrassed. "Let's have one steamer basket, and the buns to go. Also, a serving of steamed egg with minced meat, a bowl of pork rib and seaweed soup, a bowl of braised pork, and two bowls of rice, to eat right away."

The waiter read out the bill, wrote down the order, and handed Lin Yuexi a queue number.

After paying, Lin Yuexi took her number and prepared to return to the corner. As she passed the drinks displayed in the middle, she went around to buy a bottle of orange soda.

Lin Yuexi originally thought this soda was junk food, but the moment she saw it, she couldn't help but recall the envious look in Xiao Zhaohua's eyes when she saw other children drinking soda at the post office.

Sure enough, when Lin Yuexi returned with the soda, Xiao Zhaohua was immediately drawn to the glass bottle in her hand.

"Auntie, is this soda?" Tears of emotion streamed down her face.

Lin Yuexi chuckled and handed over the soda, "You can try it and see if it's really soda."

Xiao Zhaohua is no longer the timid child he once was. Having spent a long time with Lin Yuexi, he knows that his aunt is genuinely good to him and will not drive him away or abandon him. He can be willful and make demands because she is his real aunt.

So when Lin Yuexi handed him the soda, Xiao Zhaohua wasn't shy or afraid. He happily reached out and took it, taking a big gulp through the straw and making a loud "ha" sound, just like the uncles and elders in the village when they drank.

"Auntie, it's delicious."

"If it's delicious, your auntie will buy you more, even better ones." She has plenty of drinks in her storage space, but she just hadn't had a chance to take them out before. Now that it's easier to travel, getting some of her own stuff out won't be a problem!

Xiao Zhaohua was so happy that his eyes crinkled with laughter as he nodded repeatedly. From then on, he was someone who had drunk soda, and there would be even better-tasting soda in the future, enough for him to brag about to his friends for a long, long time!
Meanwhile, at the other end of the cafeteria, two men, one tall and one young, were also waiting for their meals.

The two men seemed to be chatting casually, but their gazes kept glancing furtively at the aunt and niece in the corner, their eyes filled with worry and doubt. "Boss, it seems those guys really did follow those two aunt and niece in," Tan Jiaji said nervously.

They entered earlier than the two aunt and niece. Although the 'little aunt' was as beautiful as an angel, they didn't have any bad intentions. At first, they just looked at her a few more times out of curiosity and admiration. After all, everyone loves beauty.

Not long after the aunt and niece sat down, a few more men came in in twos and threes. With their keen senses, the aunt and niece immediately noticed that these men were suspicious.

First, these people all possess an aura that only evil people have, an aura that they instinctively dislike. Although these people try their best to act like ordinary people, they can't fool their eyes and senses. These people definitely have lives on their hands.

Furthermore, they knew each other, and their separation was clearly just to dispel someone's, or more precisely, to dispel the 'little aunt''s' guard. According to their observations, there were several obvious exchanges of glances between them.

The older Wu Zhonghui looked very serious. He remembered who that 'little aunt' was probably. He picked up his water glass, pretended to drink, and whispered, "Find a chance to call someone over. The one over there wearing a hat should be Uncle Cai."

Tan Jiaji's hands trembled when he heard this. "Who do you think it is?"

Uncle Cai has appeared?
No, Uncle Cai said he fled to Myanmar, how did he end up here?
Although she was nervous, Tan Jiaji didn't show it at all. She glanced around and then used the excuse of going to the restroom to leave.

The two were dressed in casual clothes, so those people probably didn't recognize them. They were sitting in a corner, so they didn't attract anyone's attention for a while.

However, the group was very cautious. Two of them were seated at the table next to the door, so that they would be seen no matter which way they went out.

Tan Jiaji stood up with his legs crossed, said nothing more, and quickly walked out. When he passed the two people by the door, he ignored their scrutinizing gazes and quickened his pace to leave.

The two men by the door exchanged glances. One of them, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, slowly stood up, seemingly going out for a smoke. However, after leaving the cafeteria, he quickly followed Tan Jiaji a short distance away.

After leaving the guesthouse, Tan Jiaji rushed forward in the opposite direction of the Public Security Bureau, then turned into an empty alley, hid behind a big tree, and then heard the sound of a zipper and running water.

The man who had followed them stopped at the alley entrance where they could see a large tree. He hid to the side and listened for a moment, then chuckled and turned to leave.

A moment later, Tan Jiaji straightened his back and came out, whistling off-key as he strolled out. He turned the corner and saw the man leaning against the wall smoking, and glanced at him curiously a few times.

Lin Yuexi took in the whole scene outside, including the fact that she was now surrounded.

However, none of this affected her from eating with the little one.

Moreover, she knew these people wouldn't dare to make a move here, since the police station was right across the street. They just underestimated her, thinking that she wouldn't even notice them watching her like this.

Xiao Zhaohua is a very well-behaved eater. His time on the farm has made him not picky about food. He will eat the delicious food with gusto, and he will also eat the food that is not delicious.

The chef here is quite skilled; Xiao Zhaohua ate with great relish today, munching away mouthful after mouthful, which made Lin Yuexi eat half a bowl of rice as well.
