Rong Qingqing sensed the sarcasm in his words and immediately felt a little guilty.
Well, she really doesn't understand opera, nor does she have the patience to listen to it.
After leaving the theater, the two did not get into the carriage, but walked along the street.
It's very cold today, and at this time of day, there are hardly any people on the streets, except for a few small vendors still hawking their wares.
Rong Qingqing walked forward with her head down when a bright red candied hawthorn was handed to her from the side.
She was startled, looked up at the man beside her, somewhat taken aback, "What are you doing?"
Xie Jingrun frowned. "Of course it's for you to eat."
"Oh." Rong Qingqing reached out and took it. "Thank you." She still felt that Xie Jingrun was strange. How could someone like him know to buy her candied hawthorns?
She wasn't saying he was stingy; in fact, he had been extremely generous to her since they started dating. It's just that she felt that someone like Xie Jingrun shouldn't understand romance or know how to please a girl.
But Xie Jingrun today has changed her perception of him.
"Why aren't you eating?" Xie Jingrun urged her, seeing that she was still holding the food without any intention of eating.
Rong Qingqing thought for a moment, then turned and asked, "How much did you pay for this candied hawthorn?"
"One tael of silver," Xie Jingrun said calmly.
Rong Qingqing looked at him in astonishment, "Why does a candied hawthorn skewer need to be so expensive?"
Xie Jingrun remained silent.
Rong Qingqing frowned, thinking that he had never bought anything outside before, and that the vendor must have deliberately overcharged him because of his expensive clothes.
Although a tael of silver wasn't much to her, she didn't like being cheated like that.
She grabbed Xie Jingrun's hand, about to turn back and confront the vendor.
Seeing this, Xie Jingrun quickly stopped her, saying, "The vendor didn't lie to me; I gave it to him."
Rong Qingqing looked at him suspiciously, "A candied hawthorn only costs a few coins, how could it cost an ounce of silver?"
Xie Jingrun said helplessly, "I don't have any copper coins on me."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback, and then she remembered this. Who was Xie Jingrun? She was already surprised that he could carry silver, so why would he carry copper coins?
"Since you gave it to him willingly, then forget it." As she spoke, she quickly took a bite of a candied hawthorn and started eating it. This candied hawthorn had cost one tael of silver. Thinking of this, she quickly put the candied hawthorn to his mouth, "You eat some too."
Xie Jingrun didn't like this kind of sweet, but seeing the girl's eager expression, he didn't disappoint her and took a bite.
The initial sweetness made him frown instantly, but seeing the girl happily eating the candied hawthorn, he could only try his best to suppress the sweetness.
Rong Qingqing was completely unaware that there was sugar on his lips, so she took out a handkerchief and considerately wiped it off for him.
Looking at Xie Jingrun, who was now gentle and harmless, and indulgent towards her, she suddenly felt a sense of emotion.
Xie Jingrun used to be someone who instilled fear in her, but she never imagined that one day she would be able to face him without any fear.
Wiping his mouth at that moment felt like pulling whiskers from a tiger's mouth.
However, the tiger at this time did not have sharp teeth.
She was pleased with her own analogy.
Xie Jingrun, who is standing in front of her now, is nothing but a toothless tiger.
Seeing the girl's suddenly upturned eyebrows, Xie Jingrun's eyes flashed with affection as he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Rong Qingqing shook her head, "No."
Xie Jingrun didn't believe it and was about to ask again when a startled cry came from somewhere.
"It's snowing!"
Rong Qingqing looked up and saw snowflakes falling in the night sky.
