The Shangshi Private Kitchen closes at 10:30 PM.
After the customers left, and having simply tidied up the back kitchen and front hall, it was already past eleven.
As they walked out of the store, Liu Yunong suddenly stopped Fu Yu and said, "Xiaofu, where do you live? How about I give you a ride?"
Fu Yu was momentarily taken aback and quickly replied politely, "Oh, no need, I live in the dorm, right at our shop."
Qianlima is quite far from here, and taking a taxi would take more than forty minutes, so it's unlikely to be on Liu Yunong's way.
Liu Yunong waved and said, "It's right on my way, let's go, I can take you to the side street."
Fu Yu was surprised and asked, "Teacher Liu, do you live near our shop?"
Liu Yunong glanced at Fu Yu and said, "Oh, my sister lives there. During my time here in Bei'an, I've been staying at her place."
Fu Yu nodded, quite pleased, "That's quite a coincidence."
Liu Yunong remarked meaningfully, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
