Chapter 272: Gossip a bit.

In Damo, marriages are generally arranged by parents and matchmakers. Even as the Young Sect Master of the Tang Sect, Tang Shu didn’t have much say in this matter, so she never considered such tedious affairs.

However, upon arriving in the modern world, she initially focused all her energy on adapting to her new environment. Eventually, she grew accustomed to the convenient lifestyle of today and never considered lifelong commitments.

Chen Xin, across from her, heard her confusion and chuckled with ill intent.

"Not gonna lie, I’m a fanfiction fan of yours. I personally think, for someone with Huan Ying’s personality, it would be better to pair her with a ’little milk dog’."

Tang Shu: "..."

Are you kidding me?

As a celebrity, having a crush on Huan Ying is one thing, but to even get hooked on fanfics???

"Hey, I was just being curious. You know, netizens have matched you up with no less than ten different CPs, each bursting with popularity!"

Facing such an enthusiastic fanfic fan, Tang Shu had nothing but a stiff expression on her face, with no desire for any other.

"Thank you."

What "little milk dog" or "little wolf dog," she was completely uninterested.

After leaving the photo studio, both donned black masks to avoid any trouble.

Tang Shu led the way, with Chen Xin by her side. They walked along the alleys towards the depths of the Imperial Capital.

It wasn’t too far from the photo studio to the bun shop. After a series of turns for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at a small siheyuan with red bricks and tiles.

And on the plaque of the siheyuan, there were the bold characters "Yuh Ji Bun Shop."

Very eye-catching.

Perhaps due to its age, the wooden plaque had begun to fade, giving off a desolate feel in the winter.

"Holy moly—how did you find this place? I’m an Imperial Capital person and I’ve only heard that this bun shop is very famous, yet I never had the chance to visit!"

Chen Xin was truly shocked.

As an Imperial Capital girl, she came from a humble background and lived in a remote area.

She had heard about the great reputation of Yuh Ji Bun Shop since she was young but never got the chance to visit due to her acting schedule. This was actually her first time seeing it.

Tang Shu raised her eyebrows in surprise and turned to look at her.

"This place is famous?"

"???"

"Xiao Tang Shu, what’s going on? Weren’t you the one who brought me here? So, you didn’t even know?"

"Um—A friend recommended it, so I thought to try it since it’s near the studio. If it’s good, I was planning to invite a friend over for a meal in a few days."

"..."

So, she’s just a taste-testing tool???

Chen Xin’s expression was indescribable, looking at Tang Shu with a sense of betrayal.

"Wow, so that was your scheme!"

The little boat of friendship capsized just like that.

A certain child star turned top-tier celebrity, Xiao Hua, pouted her lips, immediately teary-eyed, "How could you do this to me? I thought you genuinely wanted to treat me to something delicious. What about our friendship?"

"I really am treating you to something delicious."

"No, you’re not, I’m mad now!"

Tang Shu saw through the theatrical tears in her eyes at a glance and reluctantly teased along with a twitch of her lips.

"Then, Miss Chen, what should I do to earn your forgiveness?"

"Treat me to ten meals of these buns here, no, twenty!"

She had heard that the buns from Yuh Ji Bun Shop needed to be queued for in advance and were limited daily—first come, first served.

Tang Shu pondered for a moment and then nodded decisively.

"Deal."

Chen Xin’s tearful eyes instantly gleamed with joy, narrowing into slits, and the tears vanished without a trace.

The two, hand in hand, headed towards the back of the queue lining up at the bun shop.
