Chapter 1222: This Space Originated from the Gu Family

On the way back, Xinyan kept thinking about the space.

No matter what, the space originally belonged to the Gu Family. If she kept concealing it, she couldn’t get past the barrier in her heart.

Moreover, her grandfather’s reaction today suggested he might have sensed something; she didn’t want these external matters to create a rift between them.

Being able to come back once more, and return to her parents’ side, she was already very satisfied.

She tried to use her mind to sense the space again, but still, there was no response.

She didn’t know what would happen next.

She made up her mind that once the space was restored, she would tell her grandfather about it.

As for everyone’s attitude, she could only let it be.

Mr. Gu also noticed his granddaughter’s abnormality but didn’t ask about it.

When they got back to the city, they first found a place to have a hearty meal before returning to the hostel.

Not just Mr. Gu, even Xinyan felt a bit tired by now, after all, chopping vines was laborious work. They each returned to their rooms to wash up and rest.

When they woke up, it was already near dusk.

Xinyan immediately tried to sense the space, but there was still no response. She tidied herself up and left the room.

Pausing outside her grandfather’s room, she didn’t hear any movement, so she went out alone.

She planned to take advantage of the time to buy some local specialties to take back to the Capital.

Unexpectedly, she hadn’t gone far from the hostel when she came across a sour and spicy noodle shop. Unable to resist the temptation, she entered: "Boss, a bowl of sour and spicy noodles, please."

The shop owner responded: "Okay, find a place to sit, it will be ready soon."

The boss worked quickly. Looking at the sour and spicy noodles in front of her, her mouth involuntarily watered. It smelled so good she couldn’t wait to take a bite. ’Hmm, this is the taste.’

Numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant, sour, and oily but not greasy, it really stimulated her taste buds: "Boss, can I take this sour and spicy noodles to go?"

The boss laughed: "Of course you can."

Xinyan said embarrassedly, "I don’t have a container."

The boss pointed to the bamboo tubes on the shelf behind him: "You can use a bamboo tube, but there’s an extra charge of ten cents."

Xinyan was delighted: "That’s fine, I’ll come back to pack one when I’m on my way back."

The space still wasn’t connected, so she could only pack a portion to take back for her grandfather to try. The taste was really authentic. When the space was restored, she planned to have the boss make several servings to store in the space for future enjoyment.

The boss didn’t think she was bluffing, smiling, he said: "Sure, just don’t let the sour and spicy noodles sit for too long, or it will affect the taste. Come when you need it."

The boss’s honesty made Xinyan like him very much, and she decided to give him a surprise later.

Leaving the sour and spicy noodle shop, following the directions from the shop owner, she soon saw a store selling Lai’s crisp cookies: "Could you get me ten packets of Lai’s crisp cookies?"

After that, she ran quite a distance to find a place selling puffed rice candy, and also ordered ten packets.

Next door was a shop selling Ciqikou twists, and Xinyan bought a variety of flavors, also following directions to a store selling salted duck, where she bought ten directly.

With her hands almost unable to carry everything, she luckily saw an old man selling bamboo baskets not far away and hurried to buy one, freeing her hands.

Thinking her grandfather should be awake by now, she quickly headed back.

Since the return trip wasn’t on the same route, she happened to come across a small wonton shop and directly ordered a serving, which was also packed in a bamboo tube for an additional ten cents.

Of course, she also didn’t forget the sour and spicy noodles, paid, and told the boss, "Make it now, I’ll be right back to pick it up."

Back at the hostel, she first went to her grandfather’s door. Hearing noises inside, she lightly knocked: "Grandpa, open the door."

Mr. Gu heard his granddaughter’s voice, got up and opened the door: "You went out?"

Seeing her carrying a basket on her back, he quickly stepped aside: "Come in."

First, she handed over the wonton: "Grandpa, I found a wonton shop, why don’t you taste how it is?"

Mr. Gu took it with a smile: "I haven’t had it in many years."

Xinyan put down the basket: "Grandpa, you eat first. I also ordered a portion of sour and spicy noodles, I’ll go down and get it."

Having said that, she hurried downstairs.

When she saw white pancakes outside, she bought a few, thinking they could be eaten with the food for her grandfather.

Just as she was about to knock on her grandfather’s door after returning, she suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the space.
