Although Little Celery was just an extra, three people were always faster than two. When her mother finished making breakfast and went downstairs to help, she found that there was nothing she could do to help.
"Little Celery, have you had breakfast? Wash your hands and let's have breakfast together. "Her mother smiled and invited her.
"Hello, Auntie! Don't bother, I have had breakfast! " Little Celery responded politely and went to the pet bathroom to wash her hands. Then she went to visit her friends, the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit. She didn't have to worry about affecting the business of the pet shop like she usually did.
Zhang Zian and his father also packed up the cleaning tools, washed their hands, took their steamed buns and homemade soy milk, and started to have breakfast.
"You are so tired from working outside. You finally have a few days off. Why can't you stay idle?" His mother complained while eating.
"It's okay. I am awake now. Besides, you don't even have a day off, right?" Zhang Zian wolfed down the buns and said to Little Celery, "Little Celery, would you like to have a cup of soy milk after breakfast?"
"No! I am not thirsty! "Little Celery responded." Thank you, big brother! "
His mother shook her head, "We are different. We are used to it. Do you want to go back and sleep after breakfast? It is still early. "
"No! No! I am not sleepy, and I can't sleep. "Zhang Zian gulped down two mouthfuls of soy milk.
His father gave his mother a look that said, "You know what I mean." He must be looking forward to the blind date because he heard that the girl was very beautiful!
His mother also smiled knowingly. It would be great if they could make it this time. Maybe they could have grandchildren next year …
Zhang Zian pretended not to see their eye contact.
Little Celery stared at the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit, and sometimes was attracted by the family's laughter. Ever since she met her uncle and aunt, she had never seen them so happy. They were really a happy and harmonious family.
She not only watched with her eyes, but also fed the hamster and the lop-eared rabbit herself. After staying in the shop for almost an hour, she left with satisfaction.
They had agreed to meet at ten o 'clock, but it was just past eight o' clock. His parents urged him to hurry up and leave, saying that it was the eleventh of the day, and the road was not easy to walk on. It was easy to get stuck in traffic, and they had to climb the mountain. They wanted him to arrive early and not let the girl wait.
But just as he crossed the threshold, he was pulled back by his mother. She combed his hair, patted his shoulder in satisfaction, and let him go.
He glanced at the bristle comb in his mother's hand, which was used to comb the cat's fur, and was speechless.
After leaving the house, he got on the bus.
The traffic on the 11th was indeed a bit congested, but most of the vehicles were heading in the direction of the train station and the airport. Not many were heading in the direction of the suburbs.
He sat in an empty seat by the window, and his gaze wandered aimlessly through the scenery and pedestrians outside the window as the bus drove.
When he was alone, the uneasy feeling in the depths of his heart resurfaced again, making him a little irritated. If this blind date was not introduced by Aunt Liu, he even wanted to wander around outside, walk into the cinema to watch a movie, kill time, and then go home to lie that the blind date failed, and that the girl did not like him, so he could deal with the task …
But Aunt Liu was a shrewd person. Once she knew that Zhang Zian stood up the girl, she would never let it go. She would definitely come to his door to ask for an explanation, which would make his parents lose face. So, he decided to go with her.
About half an hour later, the outline of Mt. Hidden Fog appeared in front of him.
It was not a very high mountain, but the top of the mountain was always surrounded by clouds and mist, hence the name.
The bus stopped at the foot of the mountain, which was the terminal station, and then turned around.
Zhang Zian looked up at the top of the mountain and sighed. He did not expect to climb the mountain on his first day back home.
But he had no choice. Since he was already here, he would just take it as exercise. The people who climbed the mountain with him were all old people wearing exercise clothes. Obviously, they used the day of climbing as a pastime.
Countless steps formed a winding mountain path around the mountain, as if it would never end.
Zhang Zian walked for a while and rested. His body, which had been sitting in the office for a long time and neglected exercise, could not take it anymore. From time to time, he had to make way for the uncles and aunties who caught up with him. Listening to their hearty laughter and encouragement, he felt embarrassed.
But the girl that he had never met before, was she an athlete? Otherwise, why would they choose to meet at the top of the mountain? He had never heard of a young couple in Binhai City choosing to meet here for the first time …
Could it be … some kind of test?
He heard that some girls, under the persuasion of their best friends, liked to come up with some strange tests to make things difficult for the boys. They wanted to test the boys' physical strength, perseverance, and sincerity … He hoped that the girl he met this time was not like that. He really could not take it. Going to work had already consumed most of his energy.
He walked and stopped, thinking about all kinds of things. Suddenly, the stone steps in front of him came to an end, and he finally reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was foggy, and an elegantly designed and classy teahouse loomed in the fog, overshadowing the other buildings on the top of the mountain such as the snack bar.
"Teahouse in Hidden Fog …"
He murmured the name on the plaque.
"I haven't climbed this mountain for a few years. Someone actually built a teahouse here … Can I make a profit?" he muttered in a low voice.
The uncles and aunties all brought their own vacuum cups with goji berries, so they certainly would not go in to drink tea. After they arrived at the top of the mountain, they chatted with people they knew a little, and then turned back. There were also some old men who were addicted to chess and set up a game of chess on the spot to play with their old friends.
He looked at the time. It was not yet ten o 'clock.
Maybe later.
Hopefully, the girl would not be too late.
After ten minutes, when the sweat on his body evaporated and his body turned from hot to cold, a short-haired girl with a delicate face and fair skin suddenly appeared on the mountain road.
She was wearing a bright red jacket and high-waisted hiking shoes, carrying a backpack with a bottle of mineral water on the side of the backpack. There was something about her that made people not mistake her for a delivery lady.
Is it her?
Zhang Zian looked behind her. No one followed her. She seemed to have come alone.
He had to bite the bullet and ask her …
He was about to step forward and ask, but he saw her raise her mobile phone and smile at the phone. "Everyone … Snowy, I didn't let you down. I finally climbed to the top of the mountain … Phew, I'm so tired!"
She leaned against a big rock and panted slightly. Although she was a girl, her physical strength was better than Zhang Zian's.
"Wow! Is this the Teahouse in Hidden Fog? It looks very good! What do you think? "
She said to the phone, focusing on the teahouse itself, and did not look at Zhang Zian.
It seemed that it was not her.
