Pei Wenli still thought his eyes were deceiving him before, but it turned out to be true—it was Pei Qin with San Ya and Si Ya, and they even carried a sack. "You...," he began.
Upon seeing him, San Ya and Si Ya were so frightened they trembled, barely managing to hold the things they were carrying. Si Ya hurriedly tried to hide them, but there was no escape; she wished she could find a crack in the ground to stuff the items into.
Pei Qin touched her forehead and sighed, "What a coincidence! Scholar Pei, are you... here to dine at Moon Restaurant?" She glanced at the signboard of Moon Restaurant and decided to strike preemptively.
Pei Wenli's face changed in an instant, and he quickly said, "No! I am here to meet friends from school, to visit our teacher! What brings you to the county town?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on the sack they were holding.
Pei Qin let out a chuckle, "We've come to visit the chef!" She gestured for San Ya and Si Ya to carry the items inside.
