Chapter 269 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Wen Xiangyi was sitting in the carriage with a veil on her face.
Somewhere along the way, the noise outside the carriage gradually grew louder, and the carriage slowed down, until it finally stopped.
Wen Xiangyi was slow to notice this anomaly, hesitated for a moment, lifted the car curtain, and looked out through the small window. There were quite a lot of people on the street, and there was a queue at the door of some unknown store in front.
There was a slight disruption in order, causing the carriage to stop.
"Don't worry miss, you'll be able to leave soon."
Wen Xiangyi hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What kind of store is that?"
She saw the name of the store was Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, so it should be a gourmet restaurant. With so many people queuing up, the food must be delicious.
Wen Xiangyi looked at the store name, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
She vaguely remembered that her favorite author in her previous life also had the same name and was said to like this dish very much.
Wen Xiangyi suddenly wanted to buy one and try it.
She took a deep breath and raised her voice, "Stop the car."
The maid was a little surprised, "What's wrong, young lady?"
Wen Xiangyi said: "I want to go downstairs to buy something."
The maid said, "Young lady, what do you want to buy? I will go and buy it for you. You don't have to go down yourself."
Wen Xiangyi paused, then shook her head silently in refusal.
"I want to go by myself."
The maid looked at the sky outside hesitantly, "Miss, Madam doesn't want us to stay outside for too long..."
Wen Xiangyi assured: "I will be quick."
After saying this, she didn't give herself time to hesitate, and got up and got out of the car. The maid hurriedly followed her.
Wen Xiangyi stood in front of the store, but saw that the person who went in came out without any food in his hands, but with a few books.
Isn't this a place for selling food?
Someone nearby grabbed the people in line and asked, "Hey, is the food in this restaurant delicious? Why are there so many people lining up?"
"What? This shop doesn't sell food, it sells storybooks."
"Ah? It says 'Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs'. I thought it was food. It's really boring to sell dog meat under the guise of mutton."
"Hey, I advise you not to brag so early. There's a sign up front that tells the story. I guarantee you'll have to come and queue with us after you read it."
"Do not believe."
The man didn't believe it and ran to the front to look at the sign.
Wen Xiangyi followed him with his eyes, not selling food.
The man stood in front of the sign with a few others and looked at it for a while, then decisively lined up at the end of the line.
The maid was suspicious and asked, "What on earth was written on it? It turned out to be what that person said."
Wen Xiangyi stepped forward and waited until the people in front of him had dispersed before he could see the complete sign.
When she saw the words above, her eyes trembled.
This, isn’t this a modern classical novel?
The heroine who is reborn to seek revenge, this formula is so familiar that it brings tears to your eyes.
Just from this short paragraph, she knew it definitely couldn't have been written by someone from this world.
Wen Xiangyi also secretly read some storybooks to pass the time, but as a deep novel fan who had read countless books before traveling through time, most of the stories were not to her liking at all.
No one in this world could possibly create a novel like this!
Wen Xiangyi's eyes were slightly red. She had lived alone in this strange world for so many years, and finally a fellow villager came to her.

After evening self-study, Li Wenshu walked out of the classroom with Qin Shiyue as usual.
Qin Shiyue sighed and said, "I just want the college entrance examination to be over soon. I really want to read Pai Gu Jing's new book."
"Life in the third year of high school is really not a life for human beings."
Li Wenshu comforted him, "It will be soon. Time will pass in the blink of an eye."
Qin Shiyue thought of something and said, "I heard that when Dai Le's parents came over, they made more trouble than Dai Le himself."
"Dai Le is so brave that he actually stole it from her father's safe."
"I heard from them that this matter is not going to end well. The whole class wrote a letter of denunciation, and everyone signed it. They wrote with tears in their eyes. They really couldn't stand it anymore, otherwise they wouldn't have done this when the college entrance examination is approaching."
Li Wenshu said: "They can handle such great pressure from her and still maintain such good results. They can do anything in the future."
Qin Shiyue nodded in agreement, "After they left the old witch's protective umbrella, they realized that it wasn't raining outside at all."
Li Wenshu continued, "After leaving Teacher Wu, I found that there are only good people in the world."
Qin Shiyue laughed so hard that her stomach cramped.
"Wan Shu, when you just said that, I felt like I was talking to a rib ghost face to face."
"..."
Oh no, this is really a true fan.
When they arrived at the school gate, Qin Shiyue's smile suddenly stopped because of something she saw, and she leaned towards Li Wenshu.
Li Wenshu noticed something unusual and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Shiyue grabbed her arm and whispered, "I've been pestered by someone recently."
Li Wenshu immediately thought of her ending in her previous life.
She got together with a gangster from high school and vocational high school, got pregnant, got married, and was killed by domestic violence.
Li Wenshu glanced around and saw a few people standing on the opposite street, with colorful hair and smoking.
The person gathered in the middle was the tallest. It was obvious that this small group was centered around him, and his eyes were fixed on this side.
They didn't come over immediately, probably because they were still within the control of the school security.
Li Wenshu did not move forward with Qin Shiyue. She lowered her head and asked, "Who are they?"
Qin Shiyue didn't dare to look over there. "The one in the middle is the one who recently moved into our community. I met him in the community park, and he kept pestering me..."
Li Wenshu asked carefully: "How do you feel about him?"
Qin Shiyue frowned and said disdainfully: "What kind of feeling can there be? Last time I saw him and his brother go to buy milk tea. Several people pooled their money to buy a cup and squatted on the roadside to drink a sip each."
"It's so disgusting. I feel like throwing up just thinking about it."
Li Wenshu: “…”
Qin Shiyue kept complaining, "I was going home the day before yesterday, and he suddenly appeared on my way home, driving an electric car with three people on board. One was squeezed in the front, and two were sitting in the back. I saw that the last person's butt was half exposed."
"Look at his outfit and hair. I don't want to say anything."
"How can someone wear a yellow pot lid on his head, a super tight top and pants, and a pair of loafers that expose his ankles?"
"Oh my god, I'm about to throw up when I see this. With his skinny body, he looks like a lollipop, a stinky lollipop that has fallen into the trash can."
Li Wenshu pretended to glance at him casually again and couldn't help laughing.
Qin Shiyue looked at her resentfully, "You asked me that just now, you didn't think I would like him, did you?"
Li Wenshu really wanted to nod, but when he met Qin Shiyue's eyes, he wisely shook his head.
I wondered how did you get to like that lollipop in your previous life?
Qin Shiyue then added: "I don't like this type of boy. Speaking of which, I feel that Pai Gu Jing has changed my aesthetic taste and my standards for choosing a partner."
"Pai Gu Jing's novels also describe the outfits of the main characters and supporting characters. I used to think nothing of people wearing this kind of outfit on the street, but since I read the novels, I think this kind of outfit is so... weird."
