In this sweltering heat, wandering around outside is a pure test of physical strength, and Yi Yang isn't that foolish.
I took Leba straight to the mall, where there was air conditioning and plenty of delicious food.
The mall was crowded, probably because it was Sunday.
The pairing of Yi Yang and Le Ba attracted a lot of attention, with many young people secretly observing Le Ba.
Mainly, it's because she's so good-looking, plus she has an exotic charm.
Leba isn't famous yet; she's just a senior at a film academy. Although she's acted in some films, not many people recognize her.
That's why she's now openly and without any attempt to hide her presence at the mall with Yi Yang.
However, there won't be many more opportunities to stroll around as easily as today.
Yang Qingxue has received the script and will probably start preparing soon. After all, she's in the stage of waiting for food to be cooked, and once she has the script, she'll definitely start cooking as soon as possible.
Especially in Le Ba, the character Bai Fengjiu was basically tailor-made for her.
Once the TV series airs, this young lady will probably become a household name.
Let her enjoy herself for now!
"Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
After walking around for a while, Yi Yang didn't see anything he wanted to eat, and everything seemed okay, so he asked Le Ba for her opinion.
The little girl had just strolled around with Yi Yang, and her heart was already as sweet as honey. She couldn't care less about what she wanted to eat.
Upon hearing the question, without thinking much, he casually pointed to a shop.
Yi Yang looked in the direction she was pointing and was a little confused. "Fishing hot pot out of the river?"
Eating hot pot at noon on a hot summer day?
So creative! This is Xtep!
Leba finally realized which store she was referring to, and her face turned a little red, but stubbornness was her defining characteristic; once she made her choice, she wouldn't change it.
"Alright then! Let's go..."
After saying that, Yi Yang led the way toward the hot pot restaurant.
As soon as the two entered, they found the place quite crowded. Eating hot pot in the sweltering heat—they were all foodies!
There's even a freezer at the entrance with a sign that says "Free Ice Cream," which is a classic tactic.
In both of his lives combined, Yi Yang had never tried eating hot pot in the summer.
"Welcome..."
The last note even rose slightly in pitch, giving it a certain feel to it.
After the two found an empty table and sat down, Yi Yang handed the menu to Le Ba.
"You order! See what you like to eat."
"Brother, come on! I'm fine with anything."
"It's okay, I love anything you order."
These words completely stunned Leba, and her face turned red, perhaps from the heat.
The waiter waiting to take their order rolled his eyes after hearing this. Publicly displaying affection like this—is no one going to care?
If it weren't for your status, I would have kicked you out right away, do you believe me?
I'm already single, and then I have to watch a beautiful woman get flirted with so much—it's like a critical hit!
Fortunately, Leba didn't keep the waiter waiting too long. After ordering a few dishes, she handed him the order form.
"Brother, I only ordered two plates of meat, some seafood, vegetables and mushrooms."
"Oh, okay...."
Actually, Yi Yang was also a little unsure of what to do. He hadn't meant to say those words, but he knew he was in trouble as soon as they left his mouth.
The original intention was that he wasn't picky about food and could eat whatever he wanted, but it turned into a way of flirting with girls.
Oh well, let's just go with the flow!
"I'll go get some dipping sauce. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"Brother, I'll go with you."
To ease the awkwardness, Yi Yang got up to make a sauce, but unexpectedly, Le Ba wanted to follow.
When the two returned with the prepared sauce, the hot pot base was already ready, which was quite fast.
Then, the dishes we ordered started arriving one after another.
"Brother, the meatballs are ready. Try some, they're delicious..."
"......."
Although Leba is a little foodie, she still needs to control her food intake, otherwise she will gain weight and won't look good on camera.
This was the first lesson her teacher taught her.
During the hot pot meal, most of the dishes ended up in Yi Yang's stomach. The little girl would try a bite of almost everything, and only give Yi Yang the ones she thought were delicious.
She ate the two free ice creams she got at the end with great relish.
It seems that girls generally prefer these kinds of sweets. But who cares about the calorie count? What happens to the extra calories?
Yi Yang's experience was also quite novel. It has to be said that eating hot pot in an air-conditioned room during the hot summer has a unique charm.
After finishing their meal, the two of them, having nothing else to do, decided to stroll around a bit more to digest their food.
Even if Yi Yang goes back, he'll just be writing. Le Ba will have nothing to do if she goes back. Seniors don't have to attend classes anyway, and today is Sunday.
As they walked, Leba suddenly stopped, staring blankly at a watch shop, seemingly lost in thought.
There were a lot of little kids in the mall today, and two of them were playing around in front of Leba, one moving forward and the other backward, and they were about to bump into each other.
"careful..."
Yi Yang's words startled Le Ba, who was still lost in thought, but it was too late to dodge.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into an embrace.
Their chests were pressed together, and an arm was wrapped around her waist. She instinctively wanted to struggle, but then she suddenly realized something.
She looked up and saw Yi Yang's face. Instead of struggling, she hugged Yi Yang tightly and buried her face in his.
The two playful kids also witnessed this scene, and after standing up straight, they said "sorry."
They were quite polite, so how could Yi Yang possibly hold it against them?
If it were the one in the neighborhood, it probably wouldn't be able to escape with two slaps on its little bottom.
As soon as Yi Yang thought of this, he subconsciously squeezed down with his left hand, and a soft "ooh" came from his arms.
Only then did Yi Yang feel the softness in his arms.
The little girl was practically clinging to Yi Yang, not even bothered by the heat.
The delicate fragrance unique to young girls wafted directly into Yi Yang's nose.
"Leba...are you alright?!"
Yi Yang's voice brought Le Ba back to her senses. She gave a soft "hmm" but still didn't let go.
She simply raised her flushed face, looking at Yi Yang with dreamy eyes, her slightly parted lips giving her a look of complete surrender.
Seeing that touching expression, Yi Yang felt a surge of heat in his heart.
He resisted the urge to kiss her, released his arms from Leba's waist, and pulled her away.
A large crowd had already gathered around, and several people were even taking out their phones to film.
Yi Yang herself is fine, but I'm worried that it will become a black mark on Le Ba's past after she debuts.
If they changed the venue, Leba probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.
