The business of the noodle house across the street was actually very ordinary. It was almost the same as Cheng Hao's grocery store, completely deserted.
Even the place to eat was so empty. Cheng Hao couldn't help but guess in his heart. It seemed that this commercial street was really cold. If he didn't just want to quietly spend three months here, he was afraid that he would have a plan to rent a new shop.
Squeak!
Pushing open the door of the noodle house, Cheng Hao saw a very beautiful young man wearing an apron.
Yes, he was beautiful. A beautiful man with a smile on his lips and a natural charm. In particular, the arc extending from the corners of his eyes seemed to be able to scratch the itch of the men and women around him. It was just right, just right.
Cheng Hao didn't like men, but it was the first time he met such a beautiful man. He couldn't help but look at him a few more times. He always felt that the other party seemed to be a little abnormal.
This man was sick!
With just a glance, Cheng Hao could tell that this man, who looked like he was born with a natural charm, was actually suffering from a rare disease called osteodystrophy. If this disease were to appear on a beautiful woman, it would definitely become the reason why an emperor would not attend morning court.
But it was born in a beautiful man. Alas, Cheng Hao could only say that it was a waste of God's gift.
"What would you like to eat?"
The young beautiful man seemed to have been accustomed to the strange eyes of others. After Cheng Hao entered the noodle house, he stood up and asked lazily.
"Anything is fine. I'm not picky."
Cheng Hao smiled, pulled out the chair next to him, and sat down. Then he leisurely looked at the small noodle house in front of him.
The noodle house was not big, and there were only a few tables and chairs. After Cheng Hao casually ordered a bowl of noodles, the young boss went straight into the kitchen and came out with a bowl of steaming noodles in a few minutes.
"You should be the owner of the grocery store across the street, right? It's the first time you've come to eat here in a few months. "
It seemed that he was a little bored. After the young man put the noodles on the table, he sat directly at the table next door and greeted Cheng Hao with great interest.
"Yes, that's right. Business has been getting worse and worse recently. I'm in a bad mood so I came out for a walk. I think your business isn't doing well either, right?"
While eating the noodles, Cheng Hao responded vaguely. Although he was not picky about food, he still felt that the noodles were ordinary and a little overcooked.
"Yeah, this pedestrian street is basically gone. Fortunately, I don't rely on this to make money. I'm just taking this shop purely as a hobby."
"Oh? Then you should be very rich. "
"My house was just demolished." The young man did not answer directly. Instead, he stretched lazily and said with a calm expression, "I've been given more than twenty rooms."
"…" Cheng Hao was a little speechless. He had just come to this world, and he had already met a second-generation demolition master. Could it be that the demolition industry in this world's China had developed to the point where it was everywhere?
After finishing the noodles in the bowl in a few mouthfuls, Cheng Hao stood up and habitually took out money from his pocket. However, in the next moment, his movements stiffened.
F * ck, I forgot that I'm a poor person now!
"You forgot to bring money? It's okay, it's not much. Since it's your first time here, this meal is on me! "
The young man seemed to have noticed Cheng Hao's awkwardness. He waved his hand generously and waived the bill directly. After all, he was a man with more than twenty rooms. He could still afford a bowl of noodles.
"Thank you. My name is Cheng Hao. If you're free in the future, you can come to my grocery store."
He reached out and patted the man's shoulder with a smile. F * ck, it's soft like cotton. If it's a girl, the touch, tsk tsk …
The young boss took a step back without leaving a trace. Then, he nodded, "My name is Xu Qinglang. If you're hungry in the future, come to my noodle shop to eat. I don't expect to make money anyway. You can put it on credit or anything."
"That's great!" Cheng Hao walked out of the noodle shop's door. Before he left, he glanced at the curtain behind the kitchen without leaving a trace. "It's nice to have a family together!"
Xu Qinglang's expression froze. After Cheng Hao walked away, he fell silent for a moment. Then, he lifted the curtain behind the kitchen. Behind the curtain hung two human-skinned masks.
"Dad, Mom, do you think he saw something?" Xu Qinglang muttered to himself as he stared at the two human-skinned masks.
The two skins swayed gently and swayed slightly as if they were expressing their thoughts. As for what exactly they meant, no one except Xu Qinglang would know.
.....
"As expected of a spiritual world. I'm just going to have a meal, and I've already met two ghosts."
As a Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal, Cheng Hao was quite sensitive to ghosts. When he first entered the restaurant, he had already felt the fluctuations of ghosts and spirits. However, the two ghosts seemed to be very weak. They had only reached the Out of Body Realm. They did not even have the ability to travel at night. Therefore, Cheng Hao could not be bothered with them.
After all, he had eaten a bowl of noodles from the owner of the restaurant for free. He could not turn around and destroy the ghosts of the owner's parents, right? He, Cheng Hao, was only here for a vacation, not to be a ghost. As long as they were not ghosts that harmed people, he could not be bothered to care.
After strolling around the pedestrian street for a while, Cheng Hao was too lazy to return to his grocery store. After a while, he arrived in front of the restaurant again. To be exact, he came to the restaurant next door, in front of a strange-looking bookstore.
"Late-night Bookstore!"
Looking at the plaques on both sides of the bookstore, Cheng Hao was immediately interested. This was probably the main reason why this world was called the Late-night Bookstore, right?
He pushed the door open and entered. The bookstore was very quiet. After all, it was already seven or eight o 'clock in the evening. Basically, there were very few people who came to the bookstore to read.
Oh?
What surprised Cheng Hao was that other than a handsome young man in the store, there was also a little loli sitting on a small stool and reading attentively. Logically speaking, such a scene should be a warm and harmonious scene, but Cheng Hao could not feel the slightest bit of warmth.
After all, there were two silent ghosts in the bookstore at night. No one would be in a good mood if they encountered them, right?
One was a ghost that possessed the little loli. Her body was entwined with a wisp of imperceptible Yin Virtue, which was similar to the power of incense. It seemed to be a unique power of the Underworld of this world. This ghost, in Cheng Hao's guess, should be an existence similar to a ghost servant.
Although the ghost's Divine Soul was not strong, with this unique power of the Underworld, she could possess a living person. Cheng Hao even guessed that she could use this power to enter and exit the two worlds of Yin and Yang at will.
