Both of them were so happy and went out ages ago.
They just could not wait to walk around at night.
Qiao Xuan smiled. “They were nagging about this, and they could not wait, let’s go as well!”
“Okay!”
Qi and Taotao were not too young any more and Qiao Xuan was not very worried about their safety.
Most people in the world were trying to live in peace. There were not so many bad guys around.
They walked shoulder to shoulder, and moved forward with the crowd. The lights of the stores were on, as they walked along the street. The lights were sparkling like stars.
Under the light, people were moving about, laughing and chatting with each other.
In the summer night, the wind blew from the river bank, bringing the coolness and the aroma of various food stalls, which made people feel the warmth in this world.
When the two of them came to the long riverside street, the excitement and hustle and bustle seemed to be doubled. There were people tasting delicious food everywhere.
Various shops or stalls were blazing with fire, and the sounds of frying, boiling, and steaming were endless. The aromas of various foods were stimulated and collided with each other, and the fragrance was particularly attractive.
In addition, there were many shops selling various kinds of cakes, candied fruit, roasted seeds and nuts, sugar man, candied haws, and more which made the street lively and bustling.
Qiao Xuan was shocked. She had not expected that the night streets in this era would be so lively.
“What a pity! We should not have come post dinner, or even lunch! We should have starved ourselves for a day before coming to this place.”
Shao Yunduan laughed when he heard that. “We can take a walk first, and if we feel like eating, we can eat some, or we can come again another time.”
“Yes!” Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, as they continued strolling around. They passed by a store full of dried fruits. Qiao Xuan bought some sugar-coated plums. They walked and ate as they came to the riverside.
The lights on both sides of the river were reflected on the water surface. The gently flowing waves shook the light and shadow, and everything became gentle and blurred.
The two of them stood under a big willow tree, feeling the cool breeze and looking at the river view, surrounded by lively people coming and going. Suddenly the two of them looked at each other and smiled lightly.
Qiao Xuan pinched on the plum and passed it to Shao Yunduan’s lips. Her long eyelashes blinked as she said with a smile, “Want to try, Darling?
Shao Yunduan stiffened.
He had heard her calling him ‘darling’ numerous times. And by now, he was used to it. But at this time, he felt that his heart was throbbing hard.
Her slender and white fingers brushed his chin unintentionally, and the faint, smooth and soft touch lingered for a long time. He was a little afraid to look down at her hand, let alone her smiling eyes. He lowered his eyes and said, “Yeah”.
Then he opened his mouth in a panic and bit the plum.
Also, he bit a part of her small finger too.
Shao Yunduan blushed and stiffened. He could not even start to chew the plum. ‘Sorry…’ He wanted to apologize to her, but could not open his mouth and say anything.
Qiao Xuan had not realized what happened. But seeing him stiffen, she thought that it was because he did not like the taste of plums.
She smiled. “Is it too sour? I think it is okay, you can spit it if you don’t like it..”
