Chapter 18: Two Women Lost in Thought

Seeing Sheng Shengman approaching, Zhou Nanbei couldn't help but ask, "Sister Man,..."

What brings you here?

Sheng Sheng slowly walked forward and put down the little slippers, saying, "I was just thinking that those slippers wouldn't fit Xiao Nanbei."

My sister went and bought you a pair.

Also, it's already 1 p.m., and I haven't seen you go down for lunch, so I came up to check on you.

Zhou Nanbei was taken aback upon hearing this.

a little?

Time flies so fast.

At the same time, I thought to myself with a touch of amusement that if I had been able to go to class this fast in my past life, that would have been great.

He chuckled to himself.

Zhou Nanbei got out of bed and put on his slippers, saying to Sheng Sheng Man, "Thank you, Sister Man. I'm looking at the notes Grandpa left me."

So for a moment I forgot about the time.

Let's go downstairs for dinner.

Sheng Sheng nodded in agreement and walked out of the room with Zhou Nanbei.

.........

Fifteen minutes later.

In the main hall of the Crescent Moon Hotel, Sheng Sheng Man, Yin Nanfeng, and Zhou Nanbei sat together.

With a slow, gentle laugh, she asked, "What would you like to eat, Little Nanbei?"

Zhou Nanbei thought for a moment and then spoke.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and cucumber salad.

And another tomato and egg soup,

That's all.

Sheng Sheng Man nodded slightly to Ting Nu in the distance, then looked at Zhou Nanbei: "Alright,"

Little Nanbei just needs to wait to eat.

Yin Nanfeng, however, looked at Zhou Nanbei with a teasing expression: "Little Nanbei,

In the morning he was a young master from a wealthy family, but by noon he had become a child from an ordinary family.

I feel sorry for my sister.

"To save money for my sister?"

Zhou Nanbei laughed and replied to Yin Nanfeng's teasing, "What Sister Nanfeng said is quite something."

The Crescent Moon Hotel randomly deducted a portion of the money.

That's enough for me to live on for several lifetimes, why would I need to save money for Sister Nanfeng?

Isn't this what great men often teach us: to go among the people?

We can't forget our roots, can we?

Yin Nanfeng chuckled softly, amused by Zhou Nanbei's mature demeanor despite his young age.

I laughed for a while.

Yin Nanfeng had just spoken when he said, "I didn't expect Xiao Nanbei to be so enlightened."

So it seems,

We should learn more from Xiao Nanbei.

Zhou Nanbei waved his hand casually: "No, please don't."

Sister Nanfeng, please don't flatter me.

If I order some famous dishes in the future and Sister Nanfeng says I've forgotten my roots, I'll have no way to reason with her.

I just said it offhand.

The reason I ordered these home-style dishes is because I'm in a good mood today and just wanted to reminisce.

"In a good mood?"

Yin Nanfeng was somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly, and Yin Nanfeng asked with a playful tone, "Why are you in a better mood?"

Share this with your sister too.

As the old saying goes, sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to yourself. Let's share this so my sister can have a good laugh too.

Zhou Nanbei raised an eyebrow.

"It's nothing much, I just found a martial art that suits me."

So I'm happy.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng Man was indeed happy for Zhou Nanbei.

"Little Nanbei,

Then you'll have to work hard; practicing martial arts is very tough.

Zhou Nanbei waved his hand casually.

"It's alright, someone as talented as me can definitely handle this."

Of course,

Zhou Nanbei, however, was thinking to himself.

Unlike your arduous cultivation, I am such a genius...

It all depends on my own efforts.

Deep Blue, give me some points!!!

Seeing Zhou Nanbei's narcissism, Sheng Sheng Man and Yin Nanfeng couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, Yin Nanfeng smiled and joked, "Sister, first of all, congratulations to Xiao Nanbei on finding a martial art that suits her."

but,

This martial art must be extraordinary to have caught the eye of Xiao Nanbei, right?

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

"not bad."

Yin Nanfeng raised her eyebrows slightly: "Not bad?"

Sister, you're seeing more than just this, aren't you?

"What level is that martial art? Little Nanbei, can you tell your older sister?"

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "Sister Nanfeng,"

You can't just ask random questions like that.

Upon hearing this, Yin Nanfeng feigned pitifulness: "Ah, can't even my sister tell you?"

"Then my sister will be heartbroken."

Zhou Nanbei, however, wasn't buying it. He knew the Crescent Moon Hotel was a place teeming with people and all sorts of eyes.

Moreover, in the TV series of my previous life

With the Wang family infiltrating him, he doesn't want to get into trouble for the time being.

……

Seeing that Zhou Nanbei didn't respond, Yin Nanfeng also withdrew her pitying gaze and looked at Zhou Nanbei with some helplessness:

"Little Nanbei, you're such a little devil!"

but,

Little Nanbei can always tell her older sister...

Is it the name of Chinese martial arts?

This is not taboo.

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly, then refused:

"cannot."

However, a look of curiosity also appeared in Sheng Sheng Man's eyes.

As a result, some information was missed.

"Never mind, I can't say more. I can only tell you half a sentence."

I can guess that's because you're smart.

If you can't guess, don't blame me.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng Man and Yin Nanfeng became interested.

Yin Nanfeng was somewhat excited.

"Little Nanbei, speak quickly, speak quickly."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Nanbei spoke:

"Sleeping soundly in the middle of the night."

After they finished speaking, both of them fell into thought.

Until quite some time later.

The servant girl came over with the dishes and said, "Miss, dinner is ready."

That brought the two of them back to reality.

After Yin Nanfeng nodded to Tingnu, he looked at Zhou Nanbei and asked, "Little Nanbei, where did you get that from?"

"How come I've never heard of this, sister?"

Sheng Sheng Man was also somewhat puzzled: "Yes, Xiao Nanbei,"

That half of your sentence doesn't sound like poetry.

Zhou Nanbei chuckled inwardly; it would be a miracle if an ordinary person knew that.

This phrase originates from a folk song.

Moreover, even if you guess the origin of this half-sentence, you will fall into the next trap.

But Zhou Nanbei looked at the two of them and shrugged his small hands:

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that."

Anyway, I've told you, so don't blame me if you don't guess correctly.

Upon hearing this,

Sheng Shengman and Yin Nanfeng exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and curiosity in each other's eyes.

At this point, all the dishes were served.

Zhou Nanbei didn't stand on ceremony and started eating immediately, while Sheng Shengman and Yin Nanfeng didn't touch their chopsticks.

Both of them were thinking.

After Zhou Nanbei rambled on for a while, seeing that the two of them still hadn't started eating,

He couldn't help but say, "Sister Man, Sister Nanfeng, people are made of iron, and food is steel."

Let's eat first.

There's plenty of time to think after you finish eating.

After the two came to their senses, Sheng Shengman tapped Zhou Nanbei's forehead helplessly: "You, you always know how to tease people."

My older sister was very curious.

Yin Nanfeng also joined in the condemnation: "That's right, that's right!"

That's a really obscure thing to say.

Then, changing the subject: "Little Nanbei,"

You're not just making this up, are you?

Zhou Nanbei swallowed the food in his mouth and then glared at Yin Nanfeng.

"Sister Nanfeng, that's enough. It's just a little kid like me."

You've even resorted to reverse psychology.

Let me make this clear: I didn't just make this up. As for the specific source, Sister Nanfeng, you'll have to figure it out yourself.

Yin Nanfeng smiled somewhat embarrassedly, but still scolded him with a self-righteous tone, "You little rascal!"

"Can't you just give in to your older sister a little?"

Zhou Nanbei looked at Yin Nanfeng speechlessly: "Sister Nanfeng,"

You're not wrong, are you?

Shouldn't you be the one giving in to me, a little kid?

Unexpectedly, Yin Nanfeng unleashed a skill unique to women: "Sister doesn't care,"

"You're a boy, so you have to give way to your older sister."
