The journey from Capital City to the county town below North City and on to Ten-miles Village covered over three hundred kilometers. The roads were rough, and Lu Xianrun dared not drive too fast. After reaching North City, they found a hostel to rest for the night.
Although Ten-miles Village was a village in Northern Province, Jingqiu had never visited North City in the three years she'd been there.
Her father said he would take them to a place for a stroll in the morning, so he woke her and her mother up at just past four o'clock.
They didn't drive but walked under the pitch-black night sky, crossing two intersections to reach a hidden alley.
Looking at the dilapidated place bordered by walls on both sides, Zhou Lanping asked in confusion, "Aren't we here for breakfast?"
Lu Xianrun smiled mysteriously and led them through a gap into the alley.
Only when they looked up did they realize that this place was a hidden gem.
