In the early morning, the steam from a steamed bun shop slowly floated towards the sky, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly cool market.
"Boss lady, please bring me two buns!"
Chen Xi packed the buns and looked towards the young man. He saw that the young man was carrying a trunk and looked like a scholar, so he asked, "Young master, are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"
"Exactly, spring is coming soon. I will definitely perform well, get a good name, build a career for the country, and return home in fine clothes!" The brilliance in the young man's eyes made Chen Xi stunned. She had seen it in that man's eyes once upon a time.
"Time flies so fast." Chen Xi murmured to himself as he looked at the street corner. He couldn't help but think of the past with that person. Comparing it with his current life, the days he once thought were dull and beautiful now only feel numb and boring. It turned out that what made her feel at ease was not the smoke alley, but the years spent with him.
Purpose: Telling ordinary stories in the market
