Hearing Hu Xiaobei's concerned inquiry, Ling Xin'er shook her head gently, "No, I'm fine! Actually, I should be the one apologizing to you. Just now, it was because of my sister and me that you got involved."

Feeling Ling Xin'er's apology, Hu Xiaobei waved her hand carelessly!

"What are you talking about! We're friends! This isn't considered getting dragged into anything at all!"

As she spoke, Hu Xiaobei saw Liu Yun bringing the soup over and quickly changed the topic, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about this issue for now. The soup is here, let's have some soup first!"

They heard Hu Xiaobei's words and instinctively turned their heads, just in time to see a smiling Liu Yun walking over with a tray!

Soon, three steaming bowls of soup were carefully placed on the table by Liu Yun...

After setting them down, Liu Yun looked at Hu Xiaobei, his life-saving benefactor, and quickly spoke up, "Xiaobei, you must come and drink more often in the future!"

After glancing at Liu Yun, Hu Xiaobei smiled!

"Uncle Liu, don't worry, as long as I'm free, I will definitely come often! But let me remind you, I can drink a lot, so you better not kick me out for drinking too much when the time comes."

"What are you talking about! Drink as much as you want, Uncle Liu will cover it."

Having said that, Liu Yun glanced at Ling Keke and chuckled, "Alright, this old man won't interrupt you young folks anymore. You have a good chat."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate to turn around and leave...

...

"It looks like I really need to explain things to Uncle Liu properly, otherwise, he might really misunderstand my relationship with Brother Xiaobei!"

After Liu Yun left, Ling Keke mumbled shyly!

Ling Keke knew that Liu Yun really had misunderstood her relationship with Hu Xiaobei...

Hearing Ling Keke's quiet mutter, a smile crept up on Ling Xin'er's lips.

Very soon, Ling Xin'er picked up a spoon and started drinking again...

Hu Xiaobei also took another few delightful sips...

"The taste is really good!"

Praising sincerely, Hu Xiaobei put down her soup spoon. Quickly, Hu Xiaobei grabbed the bun she had been ready to savor.

After picking it up, Hu Xiaobei closely examined it...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei sniffed a faint, elegant fragrance that wafted from it.

"This scent is so peculiar!"

As Hu Xiaobei muttered to herself, she heard Ling Keke speak softly, "Brother Xiaobei, how is it? Did you smell a different kind of scent?"

"Yes!"

After looking at Ling Keke, Hu Xiaobei nodded with a smile!

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's response, Ling Xin'er curiously picked up a bun.

Soon, she too smelled the invigorating fragrance.

After trying to identify it for a while without success, she looked at Ling Keke with curiosity, "Little sister, what's this scent? It seems familiar, but I just can't place it!"

Upon hearing Ling Xin'er's question, Ling Keke didn't respond, but instead asked mysteriously, "It wouldn't be fun to just tell you. Why don't you guess? Do you think you can?"

After looking at Ling Keke, Ling Xin'er sniffed again and quickly shook her head softly, "I can't guess!"

Having said that, Ling Xin'er turned to Hu Xiaobei, thinking that perhaps Hu Xiaobei might be able to guess!

"He seems to have really guessed it!"

When Ling Xin'er looked at Hu Xiaobei, she found him smiling...

...

"It looks like Big Brother Xiaobei guessed it."

As Ling Xin'er caught the faint smile on Hu Xiaobei's lips, Ling Keke noticed as well.

So she spoke up with a light laugh.

Tossing the baozi lightly in his hand, Hu Xiaobei said, "If I'm not mistaken, this fragrance should be coming from the two ginkgo trees above us."

"My goodness, Big Brother Xiaobei, you've actually guessed it right away!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's response, Ling Keke's mouth hung open in shock!

Originally, after she had smelled the fragrance, she also guessed that it was coming from the ginkgo trees!

But it had taken her a long time to figure that out.

And Hu Xiaobei had almost instantly guessed it, which left Ling Keke absolutely stunned...

...

"Ginkgo trees? If that's the case, there indeed is a bit of the scent of ginkgo, but how is this done? Could it be that ginkgo was mixed in?"

Upon hearing Ling Xin'er's curious question, Hu Xiaobei glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "No, ginkgo is bitter and the flavor is strong, so if it were really mixed in, it would make it worse. I think ginkgo water must have been added when kneading the dough."

"Yes! Big Brother Xiaobei, you're right again. Ginkgo Water was added. Big Brother Xiaobei, you are truly amazing! Is there really nothing that can stump you?"

Seeing Ling Keke's eyes shine as she looked at him, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, "I'm not all-powerful, so of course there are things that can stump me! Like the problem these two ginkgo trees are facing right now seems quite thorny to me."

As he spoke, Hu Xiaobei raised his head to look at the lush ginkgo trees...

Hearing Hu Xiaobei mention the ginkgo trees again, Ling Keke remembered he had said before that these two trees seemed to have some serious issues!

Thinking this, Ling Keke quickly asked, "Big Brother Xiaobei, what... what exactly is wrong with them?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing their eagerness, Hu Xiaobei prepared to explain, when suddenly, he noticed Liu Yun not far away.

With a light chuckle, Hu Xiaobei called out, "Uncle Liu, come here for a second!"

"Eh? What's up?"

As Liu Yun hurried over, many customers curiously turned their eyes in that direction...

Before, Hu Xiaobei had driven away some hooligans, which had piqued their curiosity about him...

Now, they naturally wanted to pay closer attention...

As Liu Yun approached, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and asked, "Uncle Liu, I wanted to ask if there's been anything unusual about these two ginkgo trees recently?"

"Unusual? I don't think so! I feel like it's the same as it always was!"

As he spoke, Liu Yun glanced at the trees several times, and soon, he gently shook his head.

He cooked breakfast here every day for everyone and really hadn't noticed anything different about them.

Hearing this response, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and soon stood up!

After softly clapping his hands, Hu Xiaobei addressed the customers present, "And you all, you probably come here regularly for breakfast, have you noticed any changes in them lately?"
