Chapter 200 Steamed Buns
He knew that the other people's identities were no worse than his own. He didn't have an advantage in terms of status, but they were evenly matched in other aspects. So he had to use some tricks to show his face in front of Jiu Jiu in advance and make a deeper impression on her.
By the way, being in a good position makes it easier to get what you want; if you take the initiative, love will come to you unexpectedly.
Xiao Jiu had no idea what would happen to her next; she was fast asleep, meeting with her dream partner.
Xiao Jiu woke up early the next morning. Despite going to bed so late the night before, she wasn't sleepy at all this morning. As soon as she woke up, she thought about going out to buy breakfast and eating it on her way to school. Since she didn't have any classes for the first two periods, she didn't have to rush to school.
Xiao Jiu loves eating at a steamed bun shop downstairs in her neighborhood. Their meat buns are incredibly delicious, and she can easily eat four of them by herself each time. The buns are about the size of an adult's fist. The owner told her that they get up at three or four in the morning to make the buns and steam them right away, so they basically don't sell any that have been sitting overnight.
That's why they taste so good. Many people come to their shop to buy steamed buns. This steamed bun shop is also a long-established brand. I heard they've been here for one or two decades.
"Little girl, the usual today?" Xiao Jiu often comes to buy steamed buns, and since the little girl is pretty, the proprietress remembers her. So as soon as she sees her, she immediately greets her warmly.
"The usual, another cup of eight-treasure porridge, extra sweet. Eat here today."
Xiao Jiu was thinking of carrying the breakfast and eating it as she walked, but then she thought that she had gotten up so early today and didn't have any classes in the first two periods, so there was no need to carry the breakfast and eat it while walking. It wouldn't be too late to eat it here before leaving.
"Okay, please sit down, it will be ready in a moment." The proprietress lifted the lid of the steamer, took out the buns, and then ladled the eight-treasure porridge that Xiao Jiu had ordered into a bowl and brought it to where Xiao Jiu was sitting.
Xiao Jiu smelled the aroma of the steamed buns and felt a little hungry. She picked up her chopsticks, took a small bite, and felt the freshly steamed bun was too hot. She put it to her mouth and blew on it gently.
She was intently eating her steamed bun when suddenly someone sat down opposite her to share a table. It was normal to share a table in this breakfast shop, since she was sitting alone and there were other seats available, so she couldn't very well refuse to let the other person sit down.
As long as you don't feel awkward, you can sit anywhere. "What a coincidence, little sister Jiu!" It was Xiao Tao coming from across the table. When Xiao Jiu heard the voice, she was a little stunned. She then put down the bun in her hand and looked up at the girl across the table.
"Oh, what a coincidence, you live here too?" Xiao Jiu felt like she had never seen her around here before. This steamed bun shop was right below Xiao Jiu's apartment complex, not far away.
"My friend is here, and I just remembered that she mentioned this place has really good steamed buns, so I thought I'd try it while I'm here. Do you live around here?"
Xiao Tao only ordered two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk. She really seemed to be there for breakfast. Xiao Jiu didn't say anything more to her. Her steamed buns weren't very hot anymore.
Xiao Jiu took a big bite of the bun. Eating big bites is the best. Xiao Taoqi didn't actually have any friends living here. She came here only because Shiyi and the others thought Xiao Taoqi's progress was too slow.
She was urged to come and meet Xiao Jiu, who loves to eat breakfast at this steamed bun shop. It was also someone who found out about her during the Eleventh Month. Xiao Taoqi has been trying to bump into Xiao Jiu near this steamed bun shop recently, but Xiao Jiu hasn't gotten up this early in the morning these past few days because of her second tail.
She actually managed to snag Xiao Jiu today, but Xiao Jiu seems to have a rather indifferent impression of her. He didn't say anything about how they are both streamers, have played PK battles together, and have had a good impression of her. It will probably be a bit difficult for her to succeed.
No matter how difficult it was, she had to do it. She knew those rich young men had her private photos, and they had said that if she couldn't get them, they would appear online or even on those kinds of websites.
She's not a good person, and she shouldn't hurt herself for the sake of others, so she can only apologize to Xiao Jiu.
"Little Jiu, do you live here alone?" Xiao Tao asked while eating a steamed bun. "Yes, what's up?" Little Jiu had already finished one steamed bun and was already eating her second one.
"Aren't your family members around?" Xiao Tao wanted to find out more about Xiao Jiu's situation. "My parents and relatives are no longer in this world, so of course I'm all alone." Xiao Jiu didn't hide anything; she had already mentioned this in her live stream.
"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry, but your parents in heaven would be very pleased to see you like this. It's good that you're like this, unlike me, who has parents but it's like I don't have any."
Xiao Tao started using her old tricks again. She knew that girls were generally soft-hearted, and every girl who heard her story had been taken advantage of by her.
Xiao Jiu: "What happened to your parents?"
Xiao Jiu figured that since someone was willing to tell stories, she could just treat it as something to watch while eating. She wasn't a little girl; she was a fox spirit, an animal. The stories she heard couldn't achieve the effect she wanted.
“My parents favored boys over girls since I was little, so I dropped out of school very early. They almost sold me to a mentally challenged man for a dowry of 188,000 yuan. But now things are better. I can earn my own money. After escaping them, I'm doing quite well now.”
Xiao Tao didn't dwell on her misfortunes. It was as if she had just mentioned it casually when asked. Several girls had felt sorry for her after she said that, and they became friends with her. Later, she sent them to their beds and made a lot of money for them.
"You're so pitiful. You're doing just fine now," Xiao Jiu said calmly. Xiao Tao thought her reaction was right, but her tone seemed a little different from other girls.
"Oh, it's okay, I'm used to it. I'm doing great now. I have my own career, my own house, and I can eat whatever I want and drink whatever I want," Xiao Tao said, trying to sound strong as she described her wonderful and fulfilling life.
Xiao Jiu: "That's really nice, but I'm finished eating and I have to go now. I have class later, so you can take your time eating."
Xiao Tao was surprised that Xiao Jiu left so suddenly, without saying anything else to show her concern or making any further progress. Before she could say anything more, Xiao Jiu was already gone.
