On the street walked two people which attracted the attention of many pa.s.sersby. Walking in front was a young girl who wore a white one piece. Although her eyes were hidden by a pair of sungla.s.ses, from her stiff movements one could guess that she was blind. Trailing her was a middle-aged man who, despite his rather handsome features, was an unkempt mess. Many onlookers observed the two and made ready to intervene or call the police if the man was to do something to the young girl.
"I'm hungry. How about we find something to eat?" Tian Yan stopped and said to Li Huaibei.
"Sure, we can eat here." Li Huaibei grumbled and pointed at a small, unhygienic-looking shop to the side. He took out his gourd and drank another mouthful.
"You're making it quite difficult for me." Tian Yan said with some frustration in her voice.
Li Huaibei shrugged his shoulders and entered the small restaurant by himself. As he pulled a seat for Tian Yen before sitting down, he picked up the menu.
"It's just normal food. What do you want?" Li Huaibei went directly to the page with the drinks.
"Drink a little less, will you? We have business to take care of after this."
"Here's your noodles. Extra egg with no onions," The waiter's voice suddenly came as he put down the bowl on the table.
"I think that this is a mistake. We didn't order yet." Li Huaibei frowned and said.
"You didn't?" The waiter looked back at Li Huaibei and realized that he indeed did not have any recollection of him, or anyone else in fact, ordering the noodles. "Oh, I'm sorry."
"Who is this…" The waiter mumbled and looked at the piece of paper on which he wrote the order. At first, he thought that he saw traces of his own writing, but when he examined it closely, he found the paper to be completely blank. 'What? Maybe I'm just too tired. I'll need to have a few days off, I suppose.'
"I don't mind eating these noodles. Can you give me that piece of paper in exchange?" Tian Yan suddenly called out.
"Oh? Of course!" The waiter put down the bowl of noodles along with the piece of paper right next to it. He then wrote the same order for Tian Yan's table, thinking that he was lucky that Tian Yan was nice enough to spare him some trouble with the cook.
As soon as Tian Yan picked up the paper to look at it, her hands began shaking and tears filled her eyes.
"Look at this…" Tian Yan said as she gave the slip of paper to Li Huaibei.
"This…?" Li Huaibei's eyes immediately lit up.
