Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The moment Su Qianxun got a good look at the man standing at the doorway, she happily ran over and hugged him. “Ah Jue, why are you here?”
Long Sijue wrapped his arms tightly around her, and he felt all mushy inside. Never had he expected that the young woman to be so happy to see him. She even took the initiative to hug him.
“I’m here to take you home.” Long Sijue’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
Su Qianxun immediately nodded vigorously. But the very next moment, she realized that something was not quite right with her reaction. ‘Oh no. Because I was so anxious before this, I felt super elated when I saw him. I can’t believe that I actually took the initiative to hug him.’
She tried to pull away, but Long Sijue hugged her even tighter.
Long Sijue told Su Qianxun to change into a new set of clothes before leaving. Even though the young woman did not know why, she obediently complied.
After Su Qianxun got changed, she left the hotel together with Long Sijue. Long Sijue’s heart swelled with pride as he gazed at the young woman beside him. She handled what had just happened very well.
Even though he had made sure that things would go without a hitch, he felt even more at ease now that he knew that the young woman was capable of protecting herself.
When the car drove past a night market, Su Qianxun shot a quick glance at the man beside her and asked, “Can we walk around the night market for a bit?”
Long Sijue had been paying full attention to her and was not aware of his surroundings. He raised his head and looked at the night market. He furrowed his eyebrows a little when he saw how crowded it was.
But when he saw the wistful expression on the young woman’s face, he nodded in agreement.
Su Qianxun cheered happily. When he saw how ecstatic she was, he felt that he had totally made the right decision by agreeing to go to the night market.
The driver stopped the car by the roadside, and both of them got out of the car. Su Qianxun immediately walked towards some stalls that were selling snacks, and she dragged Long Sijue along with her.
There were a lot of people in the night market, and when Long Sijue saw how crowded the night market was, he reached out his hands to s.h.i.+eld her so that no one would b.u.mp into her. Su Qianxun bought some snacks at a stall. After she paid the vendor, she turned to look and Long Sijue and say, “This tastes really good. Why don’t you give it a try?”
As Su Qianxun spoke, she skewered a slice of tofu with a toothpick and brought it to his mouth. Long Sijue wanted to question the hygiene of the snack, but when he saw the antic.i.p.atory excitement on the young woman’s face, he opened his mouth and ate it.
“How do you find it?”
Long Sijue chewed the tofu. It tasted nothing but ordinary, yet he nodded and said, “It’s pretty good.”
Su Qianxun flashed a smile when she saw that Long Sijue liked the food she bought. She skewered another slice of tofu and ate it. They ate as they walked, and Long Sijue was carefully s.h.i.+elding Su Qianxun the whole time, pus.h.i.+ng away anyone who got too close to her.
Because Su Qianxun thought that Long Sijue liked the tofu, she would turn and feed him every now and then. Long Sijue couldn’t care less about how the tofu actually tasted. Right now, everything was sweet to him.
After they finished eating all the tofu, Su Qianxun went to buy a popsicle. Just as she was about to pay, Long Sijue suddenly remembered something. He immediately reached for his wallet and handed the vendor a one hundred RMB note.
“Mister and missus, I’m only running a small business over here. Can you pay in small change instead?”
“I have change.” Su Qianxun quickly took out ten RMB from her purse, and she was about to hand the money to the vendor.
Long Sijue immediately tossed the one hundred RMB note on the table and said, “Keep the change.”
After he said that, he took the young woman by the hand and led her away.
“Young master, that was such a waste! This popsicle is only ten RMB, and I happen to have a ten RMB note.” Su Qianxun looked at him a little glumly.
Long Sijue stayed silent for a few seconds before saying, “Shouldn’t a boyfriend pay when he’s out with his girlfriend?”
