After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the two of them found a place to sit in a guesthouse.
After exchanging a few words, Gu Yuan learned that Niu Youde was only sixteen, even younger than himself. Gu Yuan looked him up and down thoroughly and was momentarily speechless.
This guy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a robust build; even if he claimed to be thirty, someone might believe it, right?
Sixteen years old, this kid looked way too mature.
"Judging by your accent, Niu, you must not be from around here, right?"
Gu Yuan ordered some wine and dishes. Seeing Niu Youde eat with relish, he also took a few bites simply. He had already eaten at Chunlai Pavilion earlier, but somehow, eating here felt more satisfying.
"To be honest, Brother Gu, I'm from Rongyuan Prefecture."
Niu Youde had a hearty appetite, eating three buns, gnawing a fat chicken, and drinking a pot of wine before he gradually slowed down.
