Although it was Saturday, Jiang Cheng still woke up around the same time as usual. When he went downstairs to buy breakfast, he also jogged two laps along the nearby street in passing.

The number of people around this area in the early morning was far more than at Li Baoguo's. Besides the middle-aged uncles and aunties, there also wasn't a lack of youngsters.

What to eat for breakfast was a very headache-inducing question for him, so with his hands stuffed in his pockets, Jiang Cheng paced back and forth in front of a couple of breakfast stalls, hesitating because of not knowing just what exactly he wanted to eat.

"Mini steamed buns ba," someone said from behind him.

That voice was very close to him - practically coming from right next to his ear. Jiang Cheng jumped in fright, reaching into his pocket for his phone and whipping his head around at the same time.

Only when he was face-to-face with the person behind him did he realize that the voice belonged to Gu Fei.

Of course, not only was the voice Gu Fei's, but the face was also Gu Fei's.

"The fuck?" Jiang Cheng was so shocked that he stumbled back a step. He looked him up and down, then fished out his phone to look at the time. "The sun isn't rising from the west today..."

He tilted his head back to look at the sky: "It must've not set yesterday..."

"Er Miao got up early today, and I got woken up when she started playing around with her skateboard in the house." Gu Fei laughed, "So I just came over."

"Have you eaten yet?" Jiang Cheng also started chuckling. He didn't know why, but when he saw Gu Fei smile, he also felt the urge to smile. "Let's eat together?"

"Are you treating me?" Gu Fei asked.

"Didn't you just trick 50 RMB out of me yesterday?" Jiang Cheng glared at him.

"Fine then," Gu Fei shrugged. "How about mini steamed buns?"

"Mini steamed buns, dumplings, tofu pudding, and fried dough sticks." Jiang Cheng consecutively listed out all the things he had a hard time choosing to eat between. "One serving of each, oh and that braised beef smells pretty good too."

"Go get a table." Gu Fei said.

Even though this area was also an old suburb, the residential buildings were pretty concentrated, so the amount of people at the breakfast stalls were quite a lot. Jiang Cheng stood to the side and surveyed for a while before he hurriedly took up two empty stools in front of a table; he sat on one and used his backpack to take up another.

Just when he wanted to signal Gu Fei to where he was, he spotted two girls sitting across the table the moment he lifted his gaze. They kept glancing at him as they giggled, and the moment he looked over, the two of them would swiftly lower their heads back down again.

"Here." Jiang Cheng caught sight of Gu Fei who was holding two steamer-fulls of steamed buns, so he then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Gu Fei walked over and put the things on the table: "I got everything you said you wanted ah. Is there anything else you want to eat?"

"Nope," Jiang Cheng replied.

The two girls across the table still had their heads lowered, giggling as they played a game of 'if you give me a pinch on my arm, then I'll give you a pinch on your thigh'.
