Before leaving, Shen Chuwei saw Xuetuan looking pitifully into its bowl and, realizing she had indeed neglected it lately, picked it up and followed Xiao Jinyan out of the inn.
At this time of day, the streets were sparsely populated.
Shen Chuwei thought Xiao Jinyan was taking her to enjoy some delicious food, and even though she had just had lunch, it did not prevent her from wanting to snack on some ancient pastries.
As they stood in front of a bustling tea house, confusion was written all over her face. Why come to a tea house? This did not match Xiao Jinyan's character at all.
Xiao Jinyan said, "Let's go in."
Shen Chuwei looked up, puzzled, "Husband, what are we doing at a tea house?"
Xiao Jinyan took her hand with a gentle voice, "You'll know once we're inside."
Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan inside with curiosity, and he found a secluded corner to sit down in.
He had the waiter bring a pot of good tea and two plates of pastries.
