The rain stopped now.
It looked like it wouldn't snow any more, and more and more people were gathering on the street.
The two walked side by side towards the night market. They saw cars passing by and Zhou Qi pulled Lu Xiaoqiao, who was walking outside, inside.
The seemingly insignificant little action made Lu Xiaoqiao's heart soften, and she felt like she had fallen into a cloud.
Less than ten minutes' walk away, you will see the entrance to the night market. On the top of two beams hangs a prominent plaque with the words 'Yuntong Night Market' inscribed on it.
During normal hours, the entire pedestrian street of the night market is lined with various small handicrafts, snacks, and small nail art stalls.
It probably rained today, so most of the stall owners without awnings in the middle haven't come out yet.
This has in turn made the sheltered shops on both sides of the street popular.
"What do you want to eat?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked.
Zhou Qizheng looked down at her, then raised his hand and pointed to the barbecue restaurant in front of them: "Let's eat this!"
"Are you sure?"
Although his tone was doubtful, his eyes revealed happiness and his pupils were sparkling.
Just now, when the two of them stepped into the pedestrian street, the little girl's eyes only paused for a moment when she saw the barbecue stall at the door.
"Yeah, sure, let's eat this.
As soon as I entered, the store staff greeted me warmly.
As there were so many customers, every table was occupied, leaving only empty seats in the middle and the innermost corner of the store.
Although the table in the middle was larger, the two of them still chose the relatively quiet inside.
Because it was in a corner and there weren't usually so many people, the table that was already against the wall was piled with beer boxes. The square dining table was missing two sides, so the two of them sat next to each other in the only two remaining seats.
But fortunately it's quite quiet.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you want to eat?"
Lu Xiaoqiao handed the menu to Zhou Qizheng, completely unaware that there was something wrong with the way she addressed her new boyfriend.
Zhou Qizhen sighed helplessly at her address. Never mind. The little girl isn't used to it yet. Give her some time to adjust.
Zhou Qizhen didn't say anything like "whatever". Instead, he picked up the menu and discussed seriously with Lu Xiaoqiao which one was delicious.
"What is this Chiba Tofu?"
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned by his question. She only knew how to eat it before and had never paid attention to what it was made of.
"Well, they are small square pieces, as white as tofu, but much chewier than tofu. They are delicious."
"Then I want some of this."
"Okay." Lu Xiaoqiao hooked the thousand-sheet tofu on the list.
"Do you eat beef or mutton?"
"Beef is fine."
"Okay, this grilled squid is delicious too. Let's have one each. Oh! Oh, and I forgot to order your favorite shrimp."
Lu Xiaoqiao kept muttering to herself as she focused on choosing the options, not noticing how close they were to each other.
Zhou Qizhen's gaze lingered on her face, with tenderness and doting in his eyes.
At this moment, the noise around them seemed to have nothing to do with them. In his world, there was only the girl in front of him who was ordering food seriously. He was glad that her future would only belong to him. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
I handed the ordered menu to the waiter.
"Please tell the chef not to add chili peppers." Lu Xiaoqiao instructed.
She knew that Zhou Qizhen couldn't handle spicy food.
There were many people in the restaurant, but luckily the food was served quite quickly. I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but by chance a table had finished eating and left. However, the tofu they ordered had just been baked, so it was served to Lu Xiaoqiao's table first.
The freshly baked Chiba tofu has a slightly tempting burnt color on the surface and is served on the table with the aroma of cumin.
Lu Xiaoqiao picked up a bunch and handed it to Zhou Qizheng: "Try it and see if it tastes good."
Zhou Qizhen reached out to take it, observed it for a moment, then lowered his head, took a small bite and chewed it slowly.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Lu Xiaoqiao asked anxiously.
“Mm, it tastes good.”
Seeing Zhou Qizheng say that it was delicious, Lu Xiaoqiao felt relieved and took a string to eat.
I was worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to this environment.
But when she saw him sitting there straight in his high-end custom-made suit, and remaining unmoved even when people around him looked at him curiously, Lu Xiaoqiao felt that Zhou Qizhen was an extremely strong person.
The two of them spent more than an hour eating this meal. When it was over, Lu Xiaoqiao took a look at the barbecue left on the table and felt it was a pity to just throw it away.
Seeing what she was thinking, Zhou Qizheng pretended to be casual and said, "When you went to the bathroom just now, I ordered some more. I'll take it back for your friend later. It's not good to give them leftovers."
I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful: "Then take these back with you. It would be a pity to throw them away. No one will mind throwing them away. They all have sticks."
Zhou Qizheng smiled and replied, "Okay."
After settling the bill, the two men came out of the store carrying the barbecue.
At this time, all the merchants in the middle of the pedestrian street have come out. After all, for ordinary people, delaying a day's business is not just a matter of losing a day's income. There is also the unshakable rental cost to be taken into account.
The two walked back slowly side by side.
Zhou Qizhen glanced sideways at his girlfriend. What should he do? It felt like he could never see enough of her.
Just looking at it like this makes my heart soften.
"Do you usually get off work at a normal time? Then I'll pick you up after get off work tomorrow?"
Hearing him say he was going to pick her up after get off work, Lu Xiaoqiao hesitated and said, "Well, can you not tell anyone about our matter for now?"
Zhou Qizheng stopped, turned sideways, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"We have just started, and I don't want too many people to know about it. I'm afraid someone will spread the news and say that I..." Lu Xiaoqiao didn't continue.
However, Zhou Qizhen understood: "Okay, I understand. What happens after the trial period? Can it be released to the public? I would like to meet your family first."
After all, love between a man and a woman will be more solid if it is approved by their families.
Lu Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, then deliberately said playfully: "Wait until you are over the trial period!"
Zhou Qizhen smiled and said nothing more. It seemed that everyone on his side, except Lin Lin, knew everything they needed to know.
The journey felt very short and it was finished in a short while.
When we arrived downstairs at Lu Xiaoqiao's house, we saw the car to pick up Zhou Qizhen was already waiting there.
"Then I'll go upstairs, you should hurry back too!"
Zhou Qizhen was a little reluctant to let her go back like this.
"Want to take another walk?"
Lu Xiaoqiao asked stupidly, "Ah? Didn't you just come back?"
The main reason was that she was afraid that the barbecue she packed for the sisters would get cold if they walked for a while longer.
Zhou Qi stared at her flawless cheeks and pink lips for a while, wanting to do something.
A little... afraid.
