Chapter 386 - 347: Weaving the Ground Cage Again

Chapter 386: Chapter 347: Weaving the Ground Cage Again

The three of them went up to the second floor.

This was the first time both Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye had been to the second floor.

Both of them were surprised by the state of the second floor. It was much nicer than they had imagined.

They had assumed the conditions would be rather simple. After all, it was just temporary living quarters above a restaurant, not a real home.

But the place was surprisingly nice. It had all sorts of furniture and appliances, was impeccably clean and tidy, and felt very warm and comfortable.

’The boss really knows how to live!’

The accommodations were great, and the view outside was beautiful. Living here must be incredibly comfortable.

Both of them quickly grew to like the place.

Li You, unaware of their thoughts, pointed to the bathroom and said, "The bathroom’s over there. There are new bath towels and bathrobes inside. Just grab whichever you’d like."

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye both nodded. "Okay, thank you, Boss!"

Li You added, "You two probably haven’t had lunch yet, have you? What would you like to eat? I can make it and bring it up here for you. You can eat right here."

Both of them were delighted to hear that. Eating up here would be perfect.

This way, after they showered, they could eat directly in their bathrobes.

As for what to eat?

The two ordered three pounds of spicy crayfish, a portion of steamed mandarin fish, and a serving of Longjing Shrimp.

Li You nodded. "I’ll go make it for you now. I’ll bring it up when it’s ready."

"Okay, thank you, Boss!"

"Oh, right, you can turn on the TV."

"Really? That’s great! Thank you, Boss!"

"You’re welcome!"

Then, Li You went downstairs and into the kitchen to start cooking.

The heavy rain was still pouring down. Outside the restaurant, the customers were still talking enviously about Li You.

Not long after, all the dishes Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye had ordered were ready.

Li You carried the food up to the second floor.

Xia Xiaoyue was wearing a bathrobe, sitting on the sofa watching TV while using a hairdryer to dry her soaked clothes.

Her hair was still a little damp.

Xia Xiaoyue had already finished her shower, while Mu Qingye was still in the middle of hers.

Dressed in a bathrobe, Xia Xiaoyue was even more alluring.

Fortunately, Li You had already been through the successive trials of Ye Shengge, Ling Xiaoru, and Chu Yiwei, so his resistance was now very strong.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

When Xia Xiaoyue saw Li You come up with the dishes, she said happily, "It’s ready already? Thank you, Boss!"

Li You placed the dishes on the coffee table and smiled. "No need to be so polite. You’re my customers; I should be thanking you for your business."

Xia Xiaoyue said, "But you let us shower and eat up here. We definitely have to thank you!"

Li You asked, "Feeling better after your shower?"

Xia Xiaoyue said, "So much better! The shower itself was so comfortable, I didn’t want to get out. It’s much nicer than the showers at our school."

Li You added, "Then you can come shower here often in the future."

Xia Xiaoyue said, "If only our school was closer to here."

Li You said, "Your school is indeed a bit far."

After the two chatted for a little while longer, the bathroom door opened, and Mu Qingye emerged, wearing a bathrobe.

She was drying her hair with a towel as she walked.

Her movements offered tantalizing glimpses of her long legs, leaving much to the imagination.

"Mu is done with her shower too. You two go ahead and eat. You must be hungry. I’ll head down now," Li You said to them.

"Okay, thank you, Boss!" they both said.

Li You waved his hand and went downstairs.

He went out to the front of the restaurant.

The rain was still coming down, so the customers who were there earlier were all still around.

Seeing Li You come out, the customers all said, "Boss, when do we get the same treatment as the pretty ladies? Getting to shower and eat upstairs."

Li You laughed. "When you become pretty ladies."

The customers all shook their heads. "Looks like we can’t stay here anymore. We can’t come back in the future either."

Of course, they were joking.

Li You laughed heartily and added, "Actually, it’s quite simple! You just need to take one trip to Siam."

"That could work."

"..."

The group shared a laugh.

Time slowly passed until it was three in the afternoon, and the rain finally began to lighten up.

It got lighter and lighter, until it finally stopped.

It had stopped at last. The customers said their goodbyes and left one after another.

Li You went to the wild fruit orchard and checked on the Japanese raisin tree he had planted with the customers at noon.

With this rain, there was no need to water it anymore.

Then, he took out some fruit tree fertilizer from the Storage Pavilion and spread it around.

With this fertilizer, the Japanese raisin tree would grow very well. By the time August or September rolled around, there would be sweet Japanese raisins to eat.

Something to look forward to!

He returned to the front of the restaurant.

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye came out of the restaurant. They had already changed back into their own clothes and paid for their meal by scanning a QR code.

"The rain finally stopped. By the way, Boss, after such a heavy rain, will the water level in the canyon rise?" Xia Xiaoyue asked.

"It’ll rise a bit, but not by much. The rain was heavy, but it didn’t last that long," Li You said.

"Oh, I see," Xia Xiaoyue said. "I was thinking of going to see the rising water in the canyon."

Li You smiled. "It didn’t rise much today. For the water to rise significantly, a downpour like the one we just had would need to last for more than ten hours straight."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded and asked, "If the water does rise a lot, will it cause any damage to the banks?"

Li You shook his head. "Basically no. The terrain on both sides of the canyon is very high. No matter how much the water rises, it’s impossible for it to overflow the river channel."

Xia Xiaoyue said, "That’s good to hear."

"Oh, right," Li You added, "speaking of rising water, it reminds me that the fish trap I put down in the canyon is pretty worn out. I need to weave a new one."
