Ever since he knew that the Bai’s mother had bought a villa, Song Yue became absent-minded. He was worried that Bai Xian would throw away everything here and bring his family members to live in a county city.

His absent-mindedness continued. After the guests left, Bai Xian invited everyone to lunch, but he still maintained his downcast look.

Because he had been with Song Yue for a long time, Bai Xiu, who thought that his relationship with Song Yue was not bad, took the initiative to ask him: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

Bai’s mother brought the dishes out and asked concernedly: "Song Yue, are you not feeling well? Why don't you go back and rest?

Song Yue was truly unwilling to leave Bai Xian, so he forced out a smile. "It's fine, Madam, Little Xiu, I'm just hungry."

Bai Xian was filling up a bowl of rice in the kitchen, and upon hearing Song Yue say that he was hungry, he immediately poured a bowl of rice for him: "Hurry and eat."

Song Yue's appetite was not big, and he was not good at eating rice either. He could eat four or five steamed buns, but he could only eat one bowl of rice.

During the meal, Bai’s mother and Bai Xiu continuously served dishes to Song Yue. Song Yue was the number one labourer in Bai Yue Stall. He was the one who carried the tables and chairs, cleaned the place, and even carried some heavy things.

Bai Xian quietly ate his food. Seeing Song Yue's expression from time to time, it was extremely funny.

Taking the chance that Bai’s mother was not paying attention, Bai Xian said: "I say, if you can't finish your meal, don't force yourself to eat by yourself. Be careful not to eat until your stomach breaks."

A few simple words of concern caused happiness to bloom in Song Yue's heart, but in order to maintain his calm on the surface, he tried his best to control the corners of his mouth, hoping that no one else could see his happiness.

However, it was fortunate that Song Yue's human skin mask was extremely refined, to the point that no one else would be able to see it. If not for the fact that his face was stuck so close to Bai Xian's many times, it would have been exposed a long time ago.

Bai Xian did not sense the little Jiu Jiu in Song Yue's heart, and she calmly thought about which dish she would be cooking tomorrow to continue killing the spirit of the Lilai Pavilion.

Bai Xian's counterattack plan was very successful. She planned to first change Lilai Pavilion's signature dish into her own dish, then set a fixed menu and recommended menu based on the price. The most important thing was to expand the store.

Right now, the Bai Yue Stall could only place five tables, and making all the customers queue at the door was not good for the long-term flow of customers.

She rented the shop next door, not completely opening up the two stores, but separating the new storefront into a few small rooms so that the guests could go to the chartered rooms, and the common people were still in the lobby.

As for the Bai’s mother and Bai Xiu, Bai Xian had Bai Xiu go to a school in the county city to study, and at night he would have Da Niu take him to the villa. Now, Da Niu was bringing the beggars from before to do their work in the manor.

And Bai’s mother, who could not afford to be idle, insisted on helping her in the Bai Yue Stall. Bai Xian could only let her continue to manage the accounts, she knew that the Bai’s mother was worried about her, so she would rather let Bai Xiu go than stay by her side.

Other than Song Yue, Bai Xian had also hired someone else to run the hall and cook in the kitchen. Of course, she had picked this person herself, and she wasn't someone who had ill intentions.

Today was another busy day. Fortunately, the weather was cool, otherwise, working in the hot, stuffy kitchen would really make people faint.

This was the only dish that Bai Xian currently allowed him to cook. Bai Xian was currently pouring soup for the Red Braised Fish and this was the dish ordered by her old customer, High Scholar Zhao. She had to work hard to make it perfect.

The was in charge of the main hall and Song Yue was in charge of the private dining room, while High Scholar Zhao and his family were definitely sitting in the private room.

"pony, why did you come here? Where's Song Yue?"

pony stammered, unable to speak, but it seemed like Song Yue was not here. Bai Xian waved his hand and pony ran away with the Red Braised Fish.

Xiao Liu's food had also come out. Seeing Bai Xian's indifferent expression, he carefully asked: "Master, are you angry? There must be something going on with Brother Song. "

Bai Xian nodded his head, as though he did not care about Song Yue sneaking away, and continued to prepare the next dish.

When the guests finished, Bai Xian called for everyone to eat, but she realised that Song Yue was still not there. Suddenly, Bai Xian started to panic. Previously, Song Yue would rarely take a leave of absence when he was busy, even if his body was unwell, he would always insist on going, unless Bai Xian discovered that he was unwell and forced him to go home.

However, Song Yue had been requesting for leave recently, and the reason for that was because he was free at the beginning. For example, before dinner had begun in the afternoon, he would come back when there were more customers.

However, it was the first time something like this had happened without even saying goodbye.

Bai’s mother already knew about Song Yue's sudden disappearance, she looked at her daughter worriedly. The relationship between Bai Xian and her daughter had been slowly growing, and she could tell that the two of them had some sort of friendship in their eyes.

However, Song Yue could tell that he was the noble young master of the capital, and the capital was a place she didn't want to go to in her entire life. Thus, she really wanted to stop her daughter and wake her up.

The current Bai Xian and Song Yue might be compatible, but when Bai Xian finds out Song Yue's real identity, would his daughter be sad because she was just an ordinary person?

Bai’s mother didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it either. She didn't want her daughter to be sad, but she couldn't be ruthless enough to stop her daughter's and Song Yue's love affair from fermenting. So she kept pretending to ignore it, unilaterally deceiving herself that Bai Xian and Song Yue was simply friends.

Bai Xian ate in silence. After eating two mouthfuls, his mind drifted off to other places, whether or not Song Yue's frequent disappearance was to prepare for the future, and whether or not there would be a day when he would just leave and never appear again.

The first time he had met Song Yue and Song Cheng, Bai Xian had understood that these two definitely did not belong to this Town. Perhaps they were waiting for someone, or perhaps they were hiding.

Unknowingly, the familiar feeling Song Yue gave her had already turned into a kind of emotion. This feeling was just like the one she gave Shao Yue before, it made him lose his mind and made him different from her.

She sighed. Perhaps there were many things she really couldn't ask for, as long as she had once possessed them.

Bai Xian regained her senses and slowly ate the fish in front of her. She did not want others to see her sadness, especially for Bai’s mother, she knew that she was at odds with his contact with her.

pony and Xiao Liu saw that Bai Xian's expression was not good, and did not dare to laugh when they were eating like usual. The table full of people were eating quietly, until Song Yue suddenly appeared in front of them.
