The table where they put their things wasn't high, so Li Tangyan simply grabbed two soft cushions, one for each of them.
As they sat down side by side, they turned on the TV.
The television was broadcasting a report about a very popular market in Z City recently.
Flowing clouds and long streets.
It's Mid-Autumn Festival again, and I heard that it will be even more lively when we admire the moon at night.
She originally wanted to go too...
Li Tangyan looked at the screen, her long eyelashes trembled, and she quickly concealed the darkness in her eyes.
Wen Zhaonian merely glanced at the screen briefly before looking away.
The translucent fork sank into the cake with a flick of the knuckles, the man's expression calm as if he hadn't noticed the sudden change.
Is it your birthday today?
A metallic voice drifted into my ears.
“Mm.” Li Tangyan looked away, without denying it.
The strawberries on the cake were large and bright red, and the cream on top made it look incredibly tempting.
However, the moment he took a bite, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Ugh, so sour.
She scraped off two more mouthfuls of cream from the side and brought them to her mouth.
After a while, the sweet, milky aroma spread between the lips and teeth: "It's festive enough to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Everyone who knows says I'm lucky to be born into a good family."
The half-joking remark was quickly drowned out by the sounds coming from the television.
After finishing their meal, the remaining disposable plates were thrown into the trash can, and then Wen Zhaonian got up and walked to Li Tangyan.
He blocked all the light that came in from behind, his tall figure casting a shadow that enveloped Li Tangyan.
Li Tangyan raised her eyes, and the next second she saw a hand with distinct knuckles appear in front of her.
Her hands were large, and the skin and bones of her wrists were clearly visible, appearing even whiter against the dark sweater.
Let's go.
Where to?
He glanced at the TV program that was still playing, his eyes slightly upturned, revealing a very narrow crease.
Her voice is pure and magnetic.
Like a hooked tail falling onto a calm lake, creating ripples: "May you share in the good fortune."
*
The two arrived at Liuyun Street around 3 p.m.
The entrance was constructed using wooden beams of varying lengths.
The plaque hanging high in the center of the door is printed with the words "Flowing Clouds". Long lanterns, which have not yet been lit, are tied to long lines and extend into the air to both ends.
Amidst the bustling crowd, the man stood tall and straight under a crabapple tree on one side.
With straight eyebrows and thin lips, her downcast eyes exude a cool and noble air.
—Hey, look how handsome that guy is! Shall we go get his contact information?
—Let's forget about it, people like that usually already have someone by their side.
—I don't believe it, I want to...
Before the last female voice could finish, the two saw a girl suddenly appear behind the man.
The girl was holding a bunch of things she had just bought from the market.
With her eyes crinkling into crescents, she showed him the sugar figurine she was holding as if it were a treasure.
The man naturally took the other things from her arms.
The moment he saw the girl, his previously indifferent expression changed slightly.
The falling crabapple petals, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, create a stunning scene.
On the other side, the girl in the pale yellow coat looked away.
He glanced at his disappointed companion, his voice slow and deliberate, punctuated by a clear laugh.
—See, I wasn't wrong. Okay, let's continue.
Li Tangyan held up the sugar figurine she had just bought, her cheekbones rising as her neat rabbit teeth were revealed with a smile. "Want to try some?"
Wen Zhaonian shook his head.
At the same time, a cool breeze blew into Li Tangyan's collar, making her involuntarily shrink her neck.
He tugged at his sleeves with both hands, revealing only half of his slender, white fingertips.
Wen Zhaonian's eyelids twitched slightly, and as he spoke, he subtly shifted his body to partially shield her from view.
His gaze lingered on those half-open lips before quickly shifting away: "Shall we continue exploring?"
Li Tangyan shook her head, her fair cheeks still flushed slightly from the jogging she had just done.
"Let's go shopping later, after it gets dark."
After saying that, she raised her hand and grabbed Wen Zhaonian's clothes, giving them a very light tug.
When the person turned around, their clear eyes had already curved into beautiful crescent moons.
She pointed to the hot pot restaurant not far away.
Her voice was soft and gentle, and the lowered tone carried a hint of unconscious coquetry: "I want to eat hot pot..."
*
While waiting for her number to be called, Li Tangyan's attention was drawn to a stall outside the hot pot restaurant.
Several rabbit-shaped mooncakes in different poses were neatly arranged on a plate.
Its round body, from a distance, looks a bit like a chubby glutinous rice ball.
—Little girl, would you like to buy a box to take home? You can also make your own!
The aunt at the stall waved to her, clearly noticing Li Tangyan's gaze.
Li Tangyan held the plush toy she had bought earlier while passing by.
She glanced back at Wen Zhaonian, her eyelids twitching as she blinked twice.
With a slight smile, she gently pinched the doll's ear with her fingertips: "Wen Zhaonian~"
Under her gaze, a half-arm-length squirrel plush toy was held in her arms, its head hidden behind her body, only its smiling eyes showing.
My gaze, whether intentionally or unintentionally, fell on his other empty hand.
A glint of cunning in her eyes made her intentions quite obvious.
In a short while, the squirrel plush toy in her arms was transferred to Wen Zhaonian's hands.
He was carrying the bag in one hand and holding the squirrel plush toy in the other.
The black lines sewn under the nose of the doll, intentionally softened to resemble the letter "W," gave it a charmingly naive appearance.
