Qiao Nian happened to be up, so she stepped aside and let him in. "Let me wash my face."
"Sure."
Qin Si followed her in. Seeing that she had gone to the bathroom to wash her face, he grabbed a seat and sat down to wait.
Then, he saw the ancient jade that Qiao Nian had left on the table.
He remembered that that thing was worth a courtyard house, but Qiao Nian casually left it on the table as if it was worthless.
The corners of Qin Si's mouth twitched. He looked away and waited for Qiao Nian to come out and eat breakfast with him at the hotel cafeteria.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan heard that Qiao Nian and Qin Si were going to the hotel for breakfast and also got up.
Half an hour later, the group went to the cafeteria on the top floor.
This hotel was famous for its rich variety of breakfast. The chef's culinary skills were superb, and many guests woke up for breakfast in the morning.
Qin Si first went to sit by the window while Qiao Nian and Ye w.a.n.gchuan went to get food.
Compared to the combination of bread and salad that Ye w.a.n.gchuan was holding…
The girl's portion was heavier.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan went to the seat after taking his share of food. He would take over Qin Si's job and occupy the table so Qin Si could go get his breakfast.
Then, he happened to see Qiao Nian's breakfast. It was a bowl of red beef noodles and a gla.s.s of fruit juice.
He stopped and said, "Sister Qiao, are you eating this in the morning?" This was too spicy!
Qiao Nian replied as if she was used to it, "I eat this every morning in Rao City."
Qin Si thought of her taste and slapped his forehead. Then, he went to get something for himself.
After he walked away, Ye w.a.n.gchuan went to get a gla.s.s of milk for Qiao Nian. Seeing what the girl was holding, he consciously carried it for her and lazily said, "Are you done? Let's go."
"Mm."
Qiao Nian followed behind him with her hands in her pockets.
Her cell phone vibrated at this moment.
Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and took it out. She looked down and saw a message from Zhong Yiliu asking where she was.
Looking up, she saw him looking for her.
Qiao Nian replied to him: [Look ahead.]
The old man at the entrance of the cafeteria was wearing an unruly modified Tang suit. He came with Robert. He went to Qiao Nian's room and knocked on the door but realized no one was there.
Robert looked at the time and suggested that they come up here. Then, he saw Qiao Nian's message.
Zhong Yiliu was about to look up, but Robert had already discovered the girl. He grabbed his arm and pointed ahead. "Teacher, Q is over there!"
* * *
In the blink of an eye, breakfast for three people became breakfast for five.
Qin Si also recognized Robert as Master w.a.n.g's "love rival" he saw at the entrance of the hotel that day. He secretly glanced at Ye w.a.n.gchuan and saw that the man's handsome face was calm. He did not seem to mind sitting at the same table as Sister Qiao's "pursuer".
He gave Ye w.a.n.gchuan a thumbs up in his heart. Master w.a.n.g was so generous!
Then, he tactfully did not interrupt and quietly acted as a backdrop.
Zhong Yiliu had something to say to Qiao Nian, but it was not appropriate for him to speak in the other's presence.
Qiao Nian saw his hesitation and pushed him a gla.s.s of fruit juice. "We all know one another. Just say it."
"They all know?" Zhong Yiliu looked around in surprise.
The girl nonchalantly nodded.
His expression turned serious. After a moment of silence, he directly said, "The Yu family came to look for me yesterday, and the royal family came to look for me this morning. I just want to ask you, how do you plan to use that medicine?"
