Fallen grid shop

chapter 2
Qingti

Luoluo sat in the shop with her black cat Lulu in her arms. The soft cushions and wicker chair made people feel sleepy.

It was snowing heavily outside, and suddenly, accompanied by a gust of cold air and the bell on the door "jingling", the heavy wooden door was pushed open.

A young man with delicate features walked in slowly, but his pink and white clothes did not affect him at all.

Does he have the aura of the protagonist?Not even hair messed up.

Not feeling sleepy at all, Luoluo fought a cold war.While complaining in her heart, she pushed Lulu and signaled her to sleep in another place.

Seeing the boy who came looking at the grids one by one, Luoluo greeted him casually: "Qingti, long time no see."

The young man smiled back at her faintly, and sat with her in front of the exquisitely carved table in the shop where the guests were received, and asked to himself, "Why didn't I see your cat today."

"Ah~ she is sleeping, it seems that every time it snows, she is particularly prone to sleepiness, a bit like hibernating."

Whenever it was mentioned that Lulu was afraid of the cold, Luoluo laughed extraordinarily happily. Whenever she thought of Lulu huddled under the quilt, trembling and unable to speak well, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Do cats hibernate too?"

"Probably."

Coughing lightly, Luoluo straightened her expression and looked at the boy in front of her.

Seeing his forced smile, Luoluo probably guessed the purpose of his coming here this time, probably for that person again.

"Would you like something to drink today? You don't need money if you don't drink well."

"Um, okay."

Qingti doesn't seem to be interested in anything.

"You know, we only have hot milk and black tea." Seeing that the boy didn't speak, she got up and prepared to go to the kitchen.

"Wait for me, I'll get the milk, let's drink and talk."

"Don't bother." The boy said in a low voice: "It's okay, Sister Luoluo, I just don't know where to go, I plan to sit for a while and leave."

"Well, good." Luo Luo nodded, seeing the young man in front of him lost his mind, the air froze, and the embarrassment overflowed the room.

When it comes to the first time she and the boy met, it was in Winterfell next door.

When they decided to go to that city for the first time, she and Lulu were full of expectations.

At the beginning of March in the year 241 of the Sisena Continent, a customer who came to their shop said that Winterfell is a magical place.

It is said that in their city, there is an acacia tree, and an old fairy lives on the tree, who has been protecting the city since a long time ago.

When kind people are lost, they will see a golden god descending from the sky. He is gentle and kind, guiding them on their way home.

And every April, it is a unique sacrificial event in Winterfell. At that time, a grand gathering will be held in the garden in the center of the city, praying for a year of peace.

At that time, people from the whole city will come to participate, and all kinds of food are available.

Among them, the most anticipated one is the flower cake in their city.The raw materials of that cake are flowers and wheat carefully cultivated in special soil, and the fragrance can circle the city twice and a half.

What the guest said was radiant and passionate, making Lulu roll with greed.

So after the guest left, Lulu grabbed Luoluo's hand, arguing that she was going to live in that city for a while.

"Do you believe such nonsense?" Luoluo looked at her helplessly, "We elves have refuted the rumors long ago. Everything is our own god. Don't you believe it the most? How can there be gods in this world?"

"Who wants to see the gods? I want to eat their flower cakes!!! Flower cakes!!! Don't you even want Luoluo?" Lulu blinked at her.

"I don't want to." Luoluo rejected her fiercely, then continued to read her book with her head down.

"Oh? That's right. I heard that there is also a special black tea over there, which the city lords and elders like to drink. That kind of black tea is as clear as a ruby ​​when brewed, and the tea smells tsk tsk tsk."

"Leave tomorrow."

"Okay." Before she could finish her sentence, Lulu hopped to pack her luggage, Luoluo looked at the back, feeling like she was being tricked.

Winterfell is just a small city, and it is only an hour away from Aurora City by human train.

But thinking that the festival would not be held until a week later, out of curiosity, they decided to stay and participate in the festival.

An elf and a cat, who were full of joy, embarked on the journey with their luggage on their backs, but when the train arrived at the station, Luoluo sensed something was wrong.

Looking at the map in her hand and then at the city in front of her, Luoluo felt as if she had taken a fake map.

"Look at this picture, Lulu, does it look like this?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"But." Luoluo picked her up, spread her wings and let her look down in the air.

"Lulu, you don't seem to be a road idiot, right?"

Hearing this, Lulu suddenly jumped to the ground, turned back into a human form, grabbed Luoluo's arm, and walked towards the ticket window, saying as she walked, "Luoluo, what are you talking about, I'm just a kitten, not a fairy , I don’t want to sleep in the open.”

"It's late." Luoluo interrupted her, pointing to the wooden sign in front of her, "Look at the sign saying that due to the weather in Aurora City, there is only one bus today, and we seem to have to live here."

"Ah!!! I finally understand why their gods are used to guide the way. Why didn't anyone tell us in the first place that their city was built like a maze."

Lulu pulled her ears in dismay and her eyes were distracted. She felt that there was a high probability that she would sleep in the open tonight.

"It's up to you!" Luoluo pulled Lulu up and walked towards the city gate tragically.

Dusk is approaching, looking at the deserted street, an elf and a cat are sitting on a bench by the street in despair.

Lulu asked weakly: "Luoluo, why do you see no one on the street? Don't they go out?"

"Maybe it's a custom." Luoluo said while flipping through her luggage, "Lulu, didn't you bring anything to eat?"

"If you can eat a big meal, who will bring food?"

A few hours later, the distant bell tower had struck eight times.

Luo Luo slumped on the bench and stared blankly at the sky.Stars lit up in twos and threes, and she watched the stars connect into lines, and she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her soft little bed.

"So hungry."

No one responded to her.

She blinked desperately, and in a trance, she saw a pair of clear eyes looking at her above her.

"Lulu, have I already hallucinated from hunger? I seem to see people." Luoluo subconsciously pushed her cat.

"God, me too, I seem to have seen it too!"

Lulu jumped up excitedly, and saw the boy next to the chair looking at them and smiling: "You don't seem to be from our city, are you lost?"

"Yeah." Lulu leaned closer and smelled it, "You don't seem to be human, are you a legendary fairy?"

"That's right! I am a fairy."

"Don't miss me, where is the golden light? Isn't Cixiang an old man with white beard and white hair?" Lulu took his arm and looked at the boy from front to back and from top to bottom.

"Hahaha, where did you hear such outrageous rumors?" The boy laughed like a three-year-old when he heard Lulu's barrage of questions, "Are you an elf? This is the first time I've seen you. To the elves, my name is Qingti, where are you going, I will take you there."
