The piece of winter melon in my mouth—I didn't know whether to swallow it or not.

"I'm letting you have a bite, not the whole thing."

"So, there's only one bite..."

Su Yueya: "..."

That's not wrong!

"Fine, let's eat it. There's so much more good food to come!" Su Yueya continued to try the oyster mushrooms and meat skewers.

She excitedly said it was delicious, and then asked Lu Zhengjun to try it.

Lu Zhengjun: "..."

"Can I really try it?" he asked, somewhat doubtful.

Su Yueya: "..."

"Really! You finish it all, you eat the whole skewer!" This time she was very generous.

These skewers are just the same food they usually eat, only in a different form and place, making the experience of buying and eating them seem completely different.

Anyway, it has a unique flavor!

The second stall sells candied hawthorns.

Various fruits are strung together, coated with sugar, and cooled to become candied hawthorn skewers.

This thing looks so sweet and sour, it makes your mouth water.

The skewers we just had were salty and spicy, so something sweet after that would be perfect.

"I want a string of candied hawthorns, honey, but you can pick another flavor." Su Yueya tugged at Lu Zhengjun's sleeve and shook it.

Lu Zhengjun wasn't really interested, but not wanting to spoil Su Yueya's fun, he ordered a strawberry and orange slice dish.

However, the two of them tacitly chose the small skewers, so that they wouldn't take up much space in their stomachs after eating, and they could continue eating.

The third shop sells jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes), which is all about being down-to-earth.

The jianbing guozi, filled with fillings, would be enough to fill someone with a small appetite, so Su Yueya dared not suggest that everyone order one.

"Honey, let's buy one and share it. I'll just eat... I'll only eat a third of it." Su Yueya thought that if she ate half, she might not be able to finish eating at the end of the street.

That won't do!

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Su Yueya watched over the person making pancakes, insisting on tomato-flavored sauce and generous portions of filling, knowing that Lu Zhengjun would be there to back him up, and he could finish them all.

Then came the fourth one...

They said they were going to eat their way to the end of the street, but they hadn't even reached halfway. They had only eaten at about five or six restaurants before Su Yueya was already full.

Because she can't help but eat too much every time.

If you plan to eat one skewer but can actually eat four or five, how can you not eat until you're full beforehand?

Looking at the remaining stalls, Su Yueya hiccuped as she reluctantly left.

Lu Zhengjun couldn't help but laugh.

"Shall we eat?" Lu Zhengjun asked, suppressing a laugh.

He didn't dare to actually laugh out loud, after all, Su Yueya was "sad," and it would be impolite to laugh out loud now.

“I want to,” Su Yueya looked down at her round little belly and pouted, “but there’s nowhere to put it.”

“It’s alright,” Lu Zhengjun said, taking Su Yueya’s hand as they walked back. “If you want to eat, we can come back anytime. Next time, we can eat at the same place we just went to, okay?”

"Okay!" Su Yueya was immediately relieved, but then she thought, "Wait a minute, the order of these stalls is different every day, right?"

"That's alright, let's try the ones we haven't tried before, we'll be able to try them all eventually."

Su Yueya nodded, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

Although it's just a simple little thing, it sounds so heartwarming.

Eat your way through every food stall with Lu Zhengjun!

very nice.

The two went to the mall to retrieve their belongings, and then went home.

On the way, Su Yueya was still thinking that today was a perfect date, and that they should spend more time together on weekends when Lu Zhengjun was off.

When she got home, Lu Zhengjun first put away the new clothes she had bought.

When he finished his work, he found Su Yueya standing alone on the balcony, looking up at the night sky.

"Crescent Moon, what are you looking at?"

Lu Zhengjun walked over and stood side by side with Su Yueya, imitating her as she looked up at the night sky. She found that the night sky was especially beautiful tonight, dotted with stars.

“The stars,” Su Yueya replied. “Don’t you think the starry sky is especially beautiful tonight?”

It's like a dark blue river, with the stars dotting its surface like shimmering waves.

“Indeed.” Lu Zhengjun nodded.

He took a step back, moving from standing shoulder to shoulder to standing behind Su Yueya, and then pulled her into his arms from behind.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

The evening breeze was still quite cold this time of year. Lu Zhengjun tightened his arms, holding the person in his arms even closer, their body temperature and the atmosphere both rising.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Everything around them became blurry and distant, as if the whole world consisted only of the two of them, only them, this balcony, and this starry sky.

It's like a perfect painting.

Night fell, and all was quiet.

“I’ve heard that every star has its own name,” Lu Zhengjun suddenly said.

Su Yueya leaned back gently, nestled in Lu Zhengjun's arms.

The cool night breeze and Lu Zhengjun's warm embrace formed a stark contrast.

"Really? Do you know what they're called?" Su Yueya asked.

How romantic it would be to recognize every single star.

"That one is the Big Dipper; I can't recognize the others," Lu Zhengjun said with a smile. He had only heard about them from his teammates during previous missions.

I haven't really studied this much before.

Su Yueya thought that perhaps there would be books about constellations in the library, but unfortunately she had never read them.

"Which one?" Su Yueya asked in surprise.

It's quite good if you can recognize even one.

“That’s it.” Lu Zhengjun took Su Yueya’s hand and pointed to a certain star.

"Wow, it's so bright!" Su Yueya exclaimed.

At that moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world.

Because Lu Zhengjun was willing to watch the stars with her and share this peaceful and beautiful night sky with her.

The night grew deeper, and the stars grew fainter.

But their hearts grew closer and closer.

Lu Zhengjun withdrew his hand, grasped Su Yueya's shoulder, and gently turned her around so that the two were facing each other.

Realizing something, Su Yueya suddenly lowered her head, not daring to meet Lu Zhengjun's gaze.

His gaze was so intense, it was as if looking at him for too long would burn you.

My heart was pounding.

Everything has drifted away, including that twinkling starry sky.

This time, there really are only the two of them left in the whole world.

Su Yueya was very shy.

Lu Zhengjun gently pinched Su Yueya's chin, forcing her to raise her head, and then he lowered his head and kissed her.

The soft touch made Su Yueya's heart skip a beat, and she instinctively tightened her grip on Lu Zhengjun's arm.

She was both nervous and shy, but then she thought, isn't it perfectly normal for a husband and wife to kiss?

She didn't resist; she was as obedient as a docile little rabbit.

From the initial tentative kisses to the increasingly deeper ones, Lu Zhengjun gradually lost control.

Something inside me was stirring and clamoring.

Ever since they confessed to each other, Lu Zhengjun had always intended to take things further, but he was afraid of offending Su Yueya, so he kept his guard up.
