It was almost eleven o’clock when the recital was over.
Because the auditorium where the recital was held is located in the center of Hounslow, surrounded by government buildings, the city is really doing too well to have even a street stall.
Qin Mo, however, was leading Austin Yubing around, and found a grocery store in the nooks and crannies of the hutong, and lifted the curtain and greeted the boss’s wife as soon as she entered, “Sister Hui.”
“Yo, little Qin ah, how come you have time to come over today?” The chubby middle-aged woman looked very kind and friendly, measuring Qin Mo followed by a small girl, “girlfriend?”
Qin Mo was busy explaining, “No, just friends. Sister Hui, give us two egg cakes.”
“Okay, sit down for a while.”
After saying that, the boss lady turned on the stove behind the cash register.
Small store is not big, compared to the ordinary convenience store is also a small circle, the variety of things are not much, but are some common daily necessities snacks and so on, the middle of the store a plastic round table, next to the rest of the three plastic chairs.
Inside the store is very clean, is filled with a smell of grease.
“Sit down for a while,” Qin Mo wiped one of the chairs over, “clean.”
Austin nodded his head as a thank you, and sat down while circling the Chambers store.
Qin Mo said, “Sister Hui’s craft is very good, especially the egg cake, usually the morning out of the stall have to line up, this time no one, so we have a mouthful.”
“Harm, there is nothing good, the neighbors shine Chambers we orphans and widows appreciate the light,” Hui said while flipping the egg cake, “can eat spicy?”
Qin Mo looked at Austin Yubing and inquired, “Do you eat spicy food?”
Austin nodded his head.
“Slightly spicy or?”
“It’s all good.”
All can be a what’s the word? Qin indifferent hesitated for a while, “Sister Hui, slightly spicy is fine.”
Five minutes of work, two egg pancakes in a greasy paper bag handed out from behind the counter, Qin Mo handed one of them to Austin Yibing, “Yours is slightly spicy.”
“Thanks.”
“Be careful with the heat,” Hui reminded Austin with a smile, and seeing that she was still wearing a mask, asked, “It’s hot, why are you still wearing a mask?”
Austin Yibing blinked and looked at Qin Mo.
Qin Mo reacted quickly and explained, “Oh, she’s got a bit of a cold.”
Although the cello player will not be as frequent as the flow of artists on television, so that the public is known, but after all, Austin language ice fame, almost a household name, and these two days in the neighborhood performance, the posters posted all over the street, want not to recognize are difficult, wear a mask is also to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After the explanation, Qin Mo took Austin out of the street to find a decent convenience store to sit down, facing the street in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Austin slowly pulled down the mask, small bites of egg cake in his hand.
Qin Mo settled the bill at the counter and came over with hot milk and handed it to her.
“If you feel spicy, drink some milk.”
Austin nodded his head, “Thank you.”
The outside world is rumored that this young cello genius girl is a lonely and cold nature, to put it bluntly, she is arrogant and rude, high and mighty.
The reporters can’t report her lace news, they will write a write such as she played a big card backstage and so on, although they can’t make any waves, but Austin language ice to the public’s impression has always been the image of rejecting people.
But Qin indifferent contact with her a few times, only think she is a very polite girl, the nature of the cold some, not much talk but also okay, and ordinary girls like snacks.
“Are you still eating?”
The first time I saw her, I saw the egg cake in front of me.
He was out of his mind, she had already finished her share.
The beautiful girl’s eager eyes, is any man can not refuse, and Austin language ice is not only beautiful, she also has with the world’s cold, the eyes of the eager and cold to form a contrast, so Qin indifferent almost cardiac arrest.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, “Oh, I’m not hungry, here you go if you want.”
Austin nodded his head, “Thank you.”
Then he took his portion of egg cake, unwrapped it, and ate it in small, serious bites.
After taking two bites, her face changed slightly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Good … good spicy …” Austin language ice originally white a face steeply become red.
Qin Mo suddenly remembered that his own copy of the egg cake is added to the perverted spicy, sister Hui know that his taste is heavy, so to him to do egg cake is never put chili pepper without a number.
“Sorry, I forgot …”
Qin Mo was in a hurry to unscrew the bottle of milk and hand it to her, “You drink some milk, don’t eat this.”
Austin language ice took the milk, gulp down most of the bottle, face is still red, cold sweat are flowing down.
Qin Mo was chagrined and turned to the counter to buy a box of chocolates and came back, “You eat something sweet to relieve the spice.”
Austin Yibing looked at the chocolate and shook his head, “Too many calories, my assistant won’t let me eat this.”
“That … that …”
“I’m fine,” Austin sniffled, his lips were a little red as was his face, “I’m better.”
As she spoke, the sound of her phone vibrating came from her pocket, after flipping it out and looking at it, she got up from her chair and said goodbye to Qin Mo, “Thank you for taking me to eat good food again today, I’m going home.”
“I’ll give you a ride.”
“Thanks, but no, my brother is coming to pick me up.”
“Okay then, let me know when you get home.”
“Hmm.”
Looking at Austin’s figure leaving from the convenience store, across a floor-to-ceiling window, far away to see the roadside drive over a black supercar, the driver’s seat down a man, wearing all black, a very tall man, trotted over, his jacket to Austin language ice draped.
Also do not know what was said, the man raised his head, his eyes fell in the convenience store, and Qin indifferent gaze in the air contact, inexplicably feel a sense of caution.
Austin Yubing pulled the man, the man then collected his gaze.
Is it a brother?
After the supercar drove away, Qin Mo thought back to the man’s eyes just now, intuition told him that it was not the eyes of a brother to his sister.
The black supercar was driving on the main road of Hounslow’s urban area, the rearview mirror reflected the man’s sullen and wise gaze, “Yubing, you can’t run out so casually in the future, by yourself, and in the middle of the night, it’s very unsafe.”
Austin Language and Ice nodded perfunctorily, “Good.”
The voice of Chu Xiao-slow came from next to her, blaming her, “Yes, you have to bring me along with you. How dare you eat alone behind my back, are you still a good sister?”
Not waiting for Austin to speak, Olson Timothy said, “Outside things also eat less, your intestines and stomach is not good, and just that person, is it you know?”
“…”
