Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi looked up to see a familiar, playful face appearing in her line of sight. She was taken aback for a moment before rising to greet the newcomer. “Gong Xin, happy new year. Are you here for the braised pork?”
They settled at a table, and Gong Xin, without any hesitation, poured herself a cup of tea. The tea was surprisingly sweet, just as the newspaper had claimed. This shop’s tea had a unique flavor that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Now, she was even more eager to taste the braised pork.
She responded to Gu Zi, “Yes, I’m here for the braised pork and to wish you a happy new year. You have no idea how much I’ve been craving this since I tasted the one my brother brought home from your place. Can you cut me a piece? I haven’t had lunch yet. I have a few days off and I’ve already told my mom that I’m coming to see you today. I’ll be heading back in a couple of days. Can I stay at your place?”
Gu Zi feigned annoyance, “You’ve already asked your mom for permission, it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t let you stay.”
Gong Xin was not one to ask for favors, but for the sake of satisfying her craving for braised pork, she was willing to make an exception. Besides, she was asking Gu Zi, there was no shame in that. She grabbed Gu Zi’s hand, her tone pleading, “Please, Gu Zi, you’re the best. Let me stay!”
Gu Zi looked at her with a hint of disdain but gently removed her hand. She stood up and said, “Alright, I’ll go cut you a plate of assorted braised pork. I’ll serve it with a bowl of rice and drizzle some sauce over it. It’s delicious when mixed with the rice.”
Gong Xin couldn’t help but gulp at the thought. How delicious it must be! She was about to taste the delectable braised pork and rice.
However, the unexpected happened. As they were talking, a police car pulled up outside the shop. Two officers got out and headed towards the shop. Gu Zi looked up just in time to see this.
She stopped in her tracks, a sense of foreboding washing over her. Yet, there was also a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted off her chest. It had finally happened. She said, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to have the braised pork today.”
