Chapter 296 - Searching for the Tailor Shop
Shu Region, Chengdu Prefecture.
The sun was just beginning to rise as Xue Qiming walked along the street with Xue Niang. At this hour, the streets were gradually filling with people, and the flow of pedestrians was constant.
Xue Niang held a skewer of candied tanghulu in her hand. Her mouth was stuffed with hawthorn fruits, making her cheeks puff out adorably.
Xue Qiming occasionally glanced around, seemingly searching for something.
Xue Niang shot him a sidelong glance. "Aren't we going to Miaojiang?"
Xue Qiming nodded absentmindedly, replying, "That's right, we are."
Xue Niang scrunched up her nose. "Then why are we taking a detour to Chengdu?"
Xue Qiming paused, surprised. "How do you know we're taking a detour? Do you know the way?"
Xue Niang spat out two hawthorn seeds and replied, "Yesterday when we asked for directions, I heard that person say the southwest side path is the quickest and shortest, but today you're clearly taking the main road."
Xue Qiming shook his head ruefully and muttered, "You clever little rascal..."
Xue Niang rolled her big eyes and asked again, "What are you looking for?"
