506 Way Back Home
He almost stuffed himself to death.
Shao Shuting wasn’t any better. He didn’t expect everything to be so delicious. He came from an illustrious family. Other than eating military meals outside, the dishes he had at home were all especially beautiful and exquisite, but the taste he had at home could not compare to these dishes. Not only did these dishes look good, but they also tasted good. They looked, smelled, and tasted perfect. Even if the dishes at home looked perfect, he always felt like there was something lacking.
Although Jiang Yue had eaten a little of every dish, the most she ate was the green pepper spareribs.
Xue Sanfu did not say a word the entire time. After eating two large bowls of rice in silence, he immediately left and rode his horse to deliver ice to the Pei family.
As soon as they arrived in town, Xue Sanfu slowed down his horse because he was not allowed to ride on the streets. There were also many people on the streets. Therefore, he took his horse and walked to the Pei family’s residence with his horse.
However, as he walked, he suddenly saw a petite figure in purple silk turning around the corner.
It was Pei Fufu.
He had been sending ice to the Pei family for a few days and had not seen Pei Fufu again. Today was his second time seeing Pei Fufu, and he could not help but stop in his tracks.
Pei Fufu didn’t have a servant girl with her today. She walked out of an alley, turned a corner, and walked for a while. Then, she entered another alley, as if something had happened.
Xue Sanfu didn’t go over to greet her. It was good enough that he could take another look.
After that, he decided to continue to the Pei family’s residence.
However, before he passed the corner that Pei Fufu had just turned, he saw her walking out from the corner again. She was closer to him, and he saw that she seemed to be panicking.
However, she still did not see him. She continued to walk forward for a while, and then, she went into the other alley again…
Finally, Xue Sanfu realized that something was wrong. This person seemed to be walking in circles…
She was walking around a shop that had small alleys around it and kept going in circles…
Therefore, he just stood there.
Sure enough, after a while, Pei Fufu came out again and walked forward. She was about to enter another alley again.
He then led the horse over and indifferently called out, “Miss Pei.”
“Huh?” Pei Fufu subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Sanfu. She immediately became nervous and her face turned red again. She lowered her head again. “Ah… S-Sanfu, it’s you.”
Her voice was pitifully soft.
He stopped a few steps away from her and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I… I…” Pei Fufu lowered her head even more, and the handkerchief in her hand kept twisting. She was like a child who had done something wrong, and her voice was even softer.
“I can’t find my way home.”
Xue Sanfu was speechless.
Xue Sanfu had never expected this to be the reason, but on second thought, he roughly understood what was wrong with this person. Some people were born with no sense of direction. No matter how many times they walked, they would not be able to remember or recognize a single landmark.”
“Where’s your servant?” He asked. She was the young lady of a large family, so she should have a servant following her when she went out.
Pei Fufu said softly, “She came out with me, but there were too many people just now, so I was separated from her. I wanted to go back, so I followed someone, but as I walked, I soon ended up here. Then, I don’t know what happened, but I’ve been here for… I’m, I’m sorry.”
