Chapter 79 Can he be more unbridled? Can he be more unbridled...
Without waiting for Zhang Min to find out clearly.
Ye Jindian had already reached out and grabbed his wrist, running towards the other side of the Rainbow Bridge that spanned the river.
She was wearing a light peach pink skirt with a wide hem today, and she looked like a huge, bright peach blossom, which opened and closed lightly, suppressing the golden sparkles in the river.
Zhang Min was stunned for a moment, and was pulled to run in the wind.
The breeze blowing towards him carried with it the aroma of fresh shrimp wontons from the stall on the opposite riverbank, and the hot mist wrapped around his face.
He suddenly fell back to the human world.
Ye Jindian turned around and smiled at him, her fluttering hairband and the pearls adorning the end gently tapping his shoulder.
They ran to the highest point of Hongqiao and then slowed down.
Zhang Min looked at her smiling face and smiled unconsciously: "Madam, you seem particularly cheerful today?"
"It's a rare day off for you, so of course I'm happy that you accompany me for a stroll." Ye Jindian took his hand, turned around, and slowly walked backwards under the bridge.
Zhang Min felt a little guilty.
He stretched out his hands and held her loosely, fearing that someone else would rush over.
"I've spent too little time with you." He held her hand tightly, and his thumb brushed across the back of her hand with pity.
Ye Jindian shook her head slightly: "We both have more important things to do, so we can't fight for each other for now."
Zhang Min murmured: "My wife..."
The more understanding she was, the more guilty he felt.
"So..." She squeezed his fingers back, "We should cherish every moment we have together."
Ye Jindian stopped at the corner of Hongqiao, brushed aside the drooping willow branches, and went in to look at the small gadgets displayed on the stalls.
Zhang Min squatted down with her.
Seeing this, the stall owner stopped what she was doing and said, "Please take a look, sir."
Ye Jindian glanced at the hairbands and wooden hairpins spread out on the long cloth, and didn't seem very interested in any of them.
Her eyes fell on the other person's hands.
The woman setting up the stall is weaving a pearl hairpin.
The shape of the flower is two or three small and lovely apricot flowers huddled together.
The pearls they were using were not round and had many flaws. However, the stall owner was very skillful and when weaving the pearl apricot flowers, she cleverly concealed the flaws and uneven beads, making them look just right.
Seeing that she was still looking, the stall owner asked, "Madam, do you like the apricot blossom pearl hairpin on my hand?"
Ye Jindian nodded.
The stall owner hesitated a bit: "But I originally intended to give this pearl flower to a friend..."
"It's said that a true friend is priceless and pearls and jade are rare. If that's the case, I won't take what others like." Ye Jindian retracted her gaze, picked out a snow-blue headband embroidered with light green leaves, and handed it over, "I want this."
The lady selling things at the stall felt a little guilty and gave her an extra peach blossom hairpin embellished with pearls.
No matter how Ye Jindian refused, it was useless.
She had no choice but to quietly take out ten more coins from her purse and hold them between her fingers.
After crawling out of the willow tree, she grabbed Zhang Min's palm with one hand, threw the money behind the willow tree with the other hand, and ran away.
"Why--"
The woman selling things at the stall was clumsy in picking up the money and bent down to chase after her.
Ye Jindian pushed Zhang Min into the alley next to him and disappeared right under the nose of the woman selling things at the stall.
After waiting for a long time, she cautiously stuck her head out and looked outside the alley.
The woman setting up the stall couldn't find anyone, so she turned around helplessly, bent down and went back behind the willow tree to guard the stall.
Ye Jindian retracted her head with a hint of joy and looked up at Zhang Min.
The peach blossom eyes collided into the clear and dark eyes that reflected the rippling waves on the river surface.
In an instant, it was like falling into a sea of stars.
She pressed his shoulder with one hand and supported herself against the wall with the other. Her warm breath enveloped him and mixed with his light apricot blossom scent.
"you……"
Her heart skipped a beat, her eyes drooped slightly, swept across his cheek, and then raised them to meet his dark eyes.
I don’t know what holiday is today.
There is a constant stream of people at the entrance of the alley, and they flow like water.
Occasionally, one or two glances would come over for a quick look.
Ye Jindian turned her eyes away, took two steps back, lowered her head, folded the hairband in her hand, and stuffed it into her pocket.
As soon as I opened my purse, a white and warm hand reached out to me.
"Let's go." Zhang Min looked at her with a smile and extended his hand forward again, "Let's find a place to eat something first, and then go play in the suburbs."
Ye Jindian said "hmm" and placed her fingers on his palm.
They walked out from the other end of the alley and followed the crowd.
Zhang Min pulled her wrist with his other hand, loosened it slightly, inserted his five fingers into her fingers, and held it tightly.
He explained: "There are too many people, so... it's not easy to get separated."
Hmm...
It’s indeed not easy to get lost.
But they were swept up by the surging crowd, pressed tightly together, and rushed into a strange place, stepping into the hollow land.
The shopkeeper, dressed in a long robe, pulled them behind a long table.
He raised his voice and said to the others, "This is the last pair. The others will have to wait for the next round!"
Ye Jindian and Zhang Min: “???”
"Now, ladies, please pick up the black cloth on the table and blindfold your eyes." The shopkeeper said loudly.
Ye Jindian glanced at the kitchen utensils on the table, picked up the black cloth with suspicion, turned to look at Zhang Min, and said, "Let's play with it first?"
It looks interesting.
Zhang Min naturally has no objection.
However, he glanced at the items on the long table and held out his hand: "Let me try first?"
I am willing to pave the way for you.
The two people who sneaked in without knowing what was going on only realized that this was a competition held by a shop called "Four Seasons Pastry Shop" after the pastries were halfway done.
This round of the competition is about the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
One person is blindfolded with a black cloth and makes pastries, while another person stands in a designated circle behind him. He cannot cross the line and can only give verbal reminders.
The person who grabs the flower paper will place the cake made at the end in front of his or her favorite cake, and the winner will be determined by the number of flower paper.
The winner can enter for free and choose eight kinds of pastries to take away.
A couple only has one chance.
He opened the way, and he had to continue, there was no second chance.
The people around were extremely noisy and excited, and they wished they could take his place.
The husbands of the other three couples also had to deal with the corrections from the busybodies around them, and their voices were almost hoarse from shouting.
"My lady, you got the wrong thing! This is not it!"
"They've already messed up everything. What you saw before you were blindfolded doesn't count at all!"
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, I don't know what that is!"
"Sugar? Isn't sugar the color of amber? How can it be lumps of stone?"
…
For Ye Jindian and Zhang Min, the years are peaceful and quiet.
"Well, my husband got it right."
"Husband, be careful with your hands."
"The candy is half an arm's length away on your right. Be careful when crushing it. There's no rush."
…
Whether it was panic or calm, the pastries made blindfolded, without a mold, looked a bit...
A wide variety.
The store owner sent someone to steam it in a steamer.
"It'll take a while for the cakes to come out of the oven. Why don't you, gentlemen..." the shopkeeper glanced at the two of them and added, "...tell this lady which cake shop you like best."
The first one was too honest. He thought about his wife's shapeless cake and chose the cake next door which at least looked like a flower. Then he was kicked by his wife.
Everyone around laughed.
The second one, learning from his experience, stiffened his neck and said, "My wife's cooking is the best!"
These words made the lady blush and she turned around and gave him a coquettish look.
The two of them looked at each other passionately.
Upon hearing this, the first lady silently kicked her husband again.
The honest man looked at her in confusion.
The people around laughed.
Ye Jindian couldn't help laughing.
When it was the third person's turn, the shop owner changed his strategy and took out a pastry from the store, allowing the young man to choose a piece to eat.
Langjun: “…”
If this isn't a deliberate attempt to embarrass him, what is?
He saw with his own eyes that his wife had kneaded bean paste into the cake just now...
"Since it's so difficult, how about asking this gentleman to take a bite of the pastry and then give his comments?"
The people watching the excitement around laughed even more happily.
The owner of the shop is very humorous, and the process of waiting for the pastries is not boring.
As soon as the cakes came out of the oven, a small piece was cut off and sent to the third man together with the cakes from the "Four Seasons Cake Shop".
The third man swallowed the cake with a heroic look on his face.
"My wife did it... Ugh..."
The woman didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted him on the back to comfort him: "Don't force it, if it doesn't work, let it go."
The onlookers laughed and gave good-natured advice.
The shopkeeper forgot for a moment and subconsciously looked at Zhang Min: "What does this gentleman say?"
"Although my pastries are square, they're neither sweet nor greasy, and are just as good as the ones from your pastry shop." Zhang Min coughed lightly. "Besides, these pastries are white with a hint of red, which is very festive. I think they're the best-looking of mine."
Ye Jindian: “…”
Even after being exposed, he can still speak so nicely.
Her husband's eloquence is really good.
The shopkeeper's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Ye Jindian: "What do you think, lady?"
Ye Jindian: "I think my husband is right."
Shopkeeper: "...Doesn't this lady feel that this is biased?"
Even if it is for winning, isn't it a bit too shameless?
"I am biased." Ye Jindian admitted calmly, "But I can't help but be biased towards my husband."
Zhang Min's ears suddenly turned redder than the second lady's.
However.
The black eyes held the scorching sun, which faded into a curtain amidst the splendor and color, leaving only the outline of a person clearly outlined with fine brushwork, filling the eye sockets.
Where the wind blows.
Even the hairband fluttering behind her head was particularly distinctive.
Eye-catching.
Even though the heat on his face was rising from his neck, making his ears and cheeks red and hot, he was reluctant to look away.
The crowd suddenly erupted in excitement.
The ladies in front couldn't help but look over and giggled.
When troubled times began, ethics and morals were not strict.
Everyone is used to living life to the fullest, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this statement.
only--
Eloquence is of no use, and favoritism is of no use. The shop owner is smart and has mixed up the cakes so that the people who put the flowery paper can't tell which cake is made by whom.
Well, except for some people who still remember, a certain gentleman’s pastries were square and very festive.
In the end, the second lady was the winner.
Zhang Min stretched out his index finger and scratched the back of his ear: "Am I a burden to my wife?"
"Husband and wife are one, why are you saying different things?" Ye Jindian was at a loss for words and walked into the restaurant. "If we can't be the winner, then let's be the excellent diner. Whatever this gentleman wants to eat, it's my treat today. Take whatever you want, I can afford it."
Zhang Min couldn't stop laughing when he saw her pretending to be a playboy.
My wife seems to... quite dote on him.
Then, can he be more unrestrained and indulge himself?
The two of them bought a piece of every pastry they liked in the shop, and bought three big bags in total.
Just buy a few more drinks and you can take them to the suburbs.
Take a stroll along the remote trails.
Zhang Min called her in a low voice: "Madam."
She raised her eyes, and the snow-blue color around her suddenly became larger.
Zhang Min leaned over and pecked her lightly on the lips.
Looking at her somewhat dazed, surprised, and stunned peach blossom eyes, he lowered his eyes to glance at her lips, his eyebrows curved, and he smiled gently.
Ye Jindian thought that he had really become bolder.
