      by Volare Chapter 16: The Back Chapter 16: The Back By the time Ling Xing returned, Shen Hui had already packed up his belongings and was ready to leave. Ling Xing wasn't very good with directions, having only walked the route once, so he hurried to catch up, afraid of getting lost. Perhaps not in a rush to get back, Shen Hui walked much slower than before. Ling Xing even had the leisure to look around, but the more he walked, the stranger the surroundings seemed. He didn't recognize…

The stall owner is a tall, thin young man. When he saw the dough being set up at this stall earlier, his heart skipped a beat, thinking a competitor had arrived. When Shen Hui went over, his face was long. There were only so many customers. If two families sold the same thing, it would definitely affect his business. But the other party was…

To save on lamp oil and let Shen Lai continue to sleep soundly, Ling Xing didn't light the lamp. He felt his way in the dark and put on his chilly clothes.

In the meantime, Ling Xing had filtered the wood ash solution he had prepared earlier multiple times. Ling Xing took the dough starter and lye solution to prepare the dough. When he poured out the flour, Shen Lai stood beside him, staring eagerly at the earthenware basin filled with flour.

Only Shen Xiaochun and Shen Xiaxia were in the kitchen, holding ceramic bowls and drinking thin porridge. The first thing Shen Lai did upon entering the kitchen was check the flour in the wooden cabinet. Finding that the amount hadn’t changed, his smile deepened. After carefully closing the cabinet and re-tying the cloth…

Half of the idol's face was…
