Sui Yuan! Le Yao smacked her lips at the name, staring at an old photo from decades ago that she had received on her phone, lost in thought.
When Tao Qing and Yuan Bin first arrived in Beichuan City, they found out that Gu Meizhi had a cousin named Sui Yuan. Because her parents had both died, she had been living with her aunt's family, the Gu family, since she was ten years old. She could be said to have grown up with Gu Meizhi. Later, Gu Meizhi married Cui Zhanyi, and Sui Yuan went to live with the Cui family.
However, this very person suddenly disappeared and remained silent for many years afterward, never even contacting Gu Meizhi again.
Yan Cheng had told her before that Gu Meizhi and Cui Zhanyi had been married for two years without having children. Later, they went on a long trip and came back carrying Cui Na. Before they went on the trip, Sui Yuan had already left.
"Is there any connection between these things?" Le Yao tapped the table with her finger. "Also, since Sui Yuan is in the capital, why hasn't she contacted Gu Meizhi all these years? And when people ask about it, the Cui family keeps silent..."
"Don't think about it." Nangong Jue pouted. "I've been sitting here for ages, and you didn't even see me." He felt so wronged.
"Huh?" Yue Yao snapped out of her daze. "When did you get here?"
Nangong Jue felt even more aggrieved.
"Alright, it's lunchtime, I'll go cook." Le Yao got up.
Because it was almost Chinese New Year, Han Baozhu and Liu Sujuan took Shuo Shuo and Jin Dou back to Lishu Village. Han Xiangdong also went back with them, because someone was supposedly going to introduce him to a wife, and they took the opportunity to go back and meet her.
Le Yao also wants to go back, but she'll have to wait until the end of the year holiday.
"Stop fussing, let's go out for dinner today." Nangong Jue chuckled.
Le Yao was a little surprised, but she didn't refuse. Anyway, Sister Mei had gone home, and she was all alone, so she could eat whatever she wanted.
Nangong Jue drove the car himself directly to the pedestrian street in the city center.
Le Yao looked at Nangong Jue strangely. Why did this guy bring her here?
"Let's eat something first." Nangong Jue's expression was somewhat unnatural. "I have a lot of local snacks here..."
"Haha, not bad, you've improved." Le Yao laughed. "Let's go get some fried skewers..."
Because it's close to the Chinese New Year, the pedestrian street is especially crowded.
In the past, Nangong Jue would never have come to a place like this, but now, he willingly followed behind the woman, queuing up to pay for and hand out food.
From the moment Le Yao entered the pedestrian street, her mouth never stopped eating: fried skewers, grilled squid, beef balls, twisted dough sticks, candied hawthorns... she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
Of course, while eating himself, he also made sure to feed Nangong Jue from time to time.
Nangong Jue went from initially feeling uncomfortable to eventually getting used to it.
"Look at her, other girls' boyfriends are so handsome and they help carry things, but you're worried about getting your clothes dirty and looking bad?" a girl's voice came. "Hmph, you don't love me at all."
The boy glanced at Nangong Jue, then silently took the extra food from his girlfriend's hand.
The girl finally had a free hand and started eating the grilled squid with gusto, occasionally offering it to the boy's mouth. Although the boy looked disgusted, he would still open his mouth and take a bite each time, and he would also take a tissue to wipe his girlfriend's mouth from time to time. It looked very sweet.
