At that moment, Fang Zhihan’s hand twitched a little as he realized they used the same chopsticks.
He lowered his eyes to hide his discomfort before he turned to Yu Gangan, his lips curving upwards into a charming angle. He then said in a gentle voice that was intoxicating like alcohol, “I’ll allow you to have a little bit of spice.”
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Yu Gangan’s eyes lit up and she immediately yelled towards the kitchen, “Auntie Liu, a little spicy, you can make it a little spicy…”
“OK,” Auntie Liu replied from the kitchen before she came out with a third bowl of noodles.
While they ate, other customers arrived and Auntie Liu went to serve them.
Yu Gangan watched as Fang Zhihan ate half the bowl of noodles and stopped; he didn’t want to eat anymore. But, just as he was about to put down his chopsticks, Yu Gangan said, “You can’t waste it. You need to eat it all.”
Fang Zhihan: “…”
“Look at the noodles in everyone else’s bowls. Don’t they look a little different? Let me tell you, Auntie Liu gave us extra. If you don’t eat it all, you will be wasting her kind gesture,” Yu Gangan said quietly.
Fang Zhihan glanced at everyone else’s bowls and realized they were indeed different. His bowl had much more content. So, he continued to eat and said, “Everyone appears to treat you really nicely.”
“Of course, all the Aunties and Uncles on this street love me,” Yu Gangan smiled as she took a bite. “But, actually, it’s because of my grandfather. Practically everyone on this street has consulted him when they were sick and needed Chinese medicine. And later, when my teacher became famous, they consulted him in Western medicine as well. They simply wanted to see someone they knew when they were sick because it gave them comfort…”
After saying this, Yu Gangan looked a little upset, “I wonder where my teacher is now. When will he return?”
Fang Zhihan looked deep into Yu Gangan’s eyes, “Have you thought about what you would do if he never returned…”
“How’s that possible? Grandfather told my teacher to take care of me. He has to return,” Yu Gangan immediately cut in.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered that Fang Zhihan had mentioned helping her find her teacher before. Did he discover something?
“Why did you say that? Did you discover something about my teacher?” Yu Gangan asked nervously.
“I haven’t confirmed anything yet. I only started a small investigation. Your teacher went missing at sea. Since he suddenly went missing in such a vast and empty location, haven’t you considered the possibilities?” Fang Zhihan replied.
Yu Gangan: “…”
Yu Gangan understood what it meant to suddenly go missing without a trace.
But, she refused to think further into it.
“However, I think your teacher may be fine. During the time that your teacher went missing, there was a murder nearby and the police did a sweep of the area. No bodies were found.”
After hearing this, Yu Gangan let out a sigh of relief. Since they didn’t find any bodies, then his teacher was definitely fine.
At that moment, Fang Zhihan tapped his hand on the table, “Those two incidences happened at practically the same time. Do you think your teacher had something to do with the murder?”
Yu Gangan remembered that she didn’t hear anything about a murder when she was doing her investigation.
“Are you saying that my teacher is involved? Since he is missing, are you insinuating that he is the murderer…?” Yu Gangan realized what Fang Zhihan meant and felt a little angry. “My teacher would never kill anyone!”
