Wen Xingyue failed her tribulation and was struck to death by lightning. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in the human world.
Status: Married.
Record: She fought with her...
"Huo Tingxiao, I want to eat that sesame seed cake."
Wen Xingyue stopped walking and stood still. She tugged at Huo Tingxiao's sleeve, pointed at the sesame seed cakes held by the children walking past them, her eyes shining, and swallowed hard.
It looks so delicious! I really want to eat it.
Wen Xingyue had actually tried to suppress her desire, but she failed. She was too greedy and couldn't control herself. She didn't want to wrong herself, so she decisively reached out and grabbed Huo Tingxiao, making her demands.
I don't know where I bought it, but I want to eat it! I really want to eat it.
The aroma of meat from the sesame seed cakes wafted through the air. Wen Xingyue's gaze followed the aroma. The sesame seed cakes had thin crusts and generous fillings. As she bit into the crust, the juicy meat filling trembled and swayed in the air.
The child lowered his head, took a bite of the fragrant, juicy meat filling, and his chubby little face squinted with happiness, making everyone's mouths water.
"Sister-in-law, wait here, I'll go ask that kid where he bought it."
She wanted to eat it, and Huo Tingjun certainly wouldn't let his sister-in-law wait until dawn to eat it if she wanted to. He bought it right away.
After saying that, they quickly left to find the child who had just slipped away from them.
Huo Tingxiao and Wen Xingyue stood there waiting for Huo Tingjun.
Within minutes, Huo Tingjun returned quickly. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I found out. The child said he bought it at a shop not far from where we left the park. It's not far, just a few more steps ahead."
Huo Tingjun eagerly reported to Wen Xingyue.
"Okay, let's go quickly, that sesame seed cake smells so good."
Wen Xingyue's eyes curved into a smile as she pushed Huo Tingxiao and called to Huo Tingjun. The three of them strode forward together toward the shop not far ahead.
[Chen's Sesame Seed Cake.]
Just as Huo Tingjun said, they saw a shop with a sign hanging in front of them after walking only a few steps out of the park.
It's almost time for everyone to get off work, and the shops are doing good business. Many people are queuing up to buy their food, and many others are simply sitting down on the benches outside the shops to eat.
"Sister-in-law, you and brother find a seat first, I'll go queue up to buy some."
Huo Tingjun volunteered and raised his hand, ready to run towards the shop.
"etc."
Huo Tingxiao reached out and grabbed the back of his collar.
"Big brother?"
Huo Tingjun turned his head in confusion.
"Here you go." Huo Tingxiao took out some money from his bag and handed it to him.
"Big brother, I have money, and I'm all grown up now, so you don't need to give me any more money. You can keep the money to buy things for your wife."
Huo Tingjun frowned. He was already an eight-year-old boy. How could he still ask his older brother for money? Besides, his older brother had a wife now. He had to save the money to buy his sister-in-law lots of good food, pretty clothes, and pretty hair clips. He couldn't let his sister-in-law suffer any grievances.
Not to mention that her parents doubled her allowance every month and specially instructed her to buy her sister-in-law novelties and delicious food, Huo Tingjun has never lacked money since she was a child, in addition to the New Year's money she saved every year, as well as the money given to her by her parents, grandparents, and brother during holidays.
"Here, I still have enough money to buy things for your sister-in-law."
Huo Tingxiao found it amusing to hear his younger brother's mature and precocious words. He forcefully stuffed the money into his hand, knowing he would never let Xingyue suffer a loss. "Take it, buy a few more portions for Mom, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma to take back as well."
The kid has enough money if he only buys one or two sesame cakes, but he'll be short of money if he buys more.
Normally, this kid would often use his allowance to bring food back for Xingyue every time he went to school. He didn't spend most of his allowance on himself, but rather on Xingyue.
"Yes, quick, take this, little chubby. Let's buy a few more for Grandpa and Grandma to take back too. This sesame seed cake smells so good, we must bring some for Mom and Dad to try."
[Make sure to bring some delicious food back for your parents to try too.]
Since Wen Xingyue had spoken, Huo Tingjun, who always listened to her, didn't hesitate and ran to the shop to queue up after putting away the money.
"Huo Tingxiao, there are empty seats over there, let's sit there."
Wen Xingyue spotted an empty seat and pushed Huo Tingxiao toward it.
The two had barely sat down when Huo Tingjun returned carrying a bag of sesame seed cakes.
"Sister-in-law, there are quite a few flavors of sesame seed cakes, including beef, pork, Sichuan peppercorn, spicy, and five-spice. I picked the flavor you usually like."
Huo Tingjun opened the oil paper bag, took out two sesame seed cakes and handed them to her, one spiced and one spicy.
My brother and I each took a pork and spiced one. We still have four beef ones left, which we'll take back to our parents later.
"It smells so good."
The sesame seed cake was placed in front of her, and the aroma of meat was even stronger. Without hesitation, Wen Xingyue took a bite.
You can bite into the meat in one bite.
Happiness died.
He squinted his eyes contentedly.
The sesame seed cake has a thin crust and a generous filling, with just the right amount of spices, making it incredibly fragrant.
No wonder there are long queues, it's really delicious.
"Sigh—" Wen Xingyue alternated between her left and right hands holding the sesame seed cake, then took a big bite. The sesame seed cake was fresh out of the oven and was scalding hot, but she couldn't bear to spit it out. She breathed out hot air as she swallowed it.
"You and your sister-in-law eat here, I'll go over there and buy you some drinks."
Huo Tingxiao noticed the fine beads of sweat on Wen Xingyue's forehead, took out a handkerchief to wipe them away, and turned to Huo Tingjun, saying, "Take good care of your sister-in-law, I'll be back soon."
"Yes, brother, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
Huo Tingjun's cheeks were puffed out. Upon hearing his elder brother's words, he immediately stopped what he was doing and solemnly replied.
As for running errands for my older brother, well, he does his own errands.
Huo Tingjun has always treated his elder brother as a normal person.
