Chapter 517 Everything Can Be Rock Sugar After an unknown amount of time, the two arrived at the moat.
The surface of the moat was shimmering with light, reflecting the yellow street lights decorated for Christmas on the shore, like a handful of scattered gold.
They didn't talk much, just walked side by side. Gu Luo would occasionally help Luo Shuning to tidy up the hair that was messed up by the wind. Luo Shuning would nod seriously when he spoke, her eyes fixed on his face, which was full of tenderness under the calmness.
Luo Shuning quietly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Luo's profile. The light from the street lamp fell on his jaw line, soft and clear.
She thought that true happiness was never something earth-shattering, but rather such simple, peaceful moments where she could waste time with the one she loved.
Although I cannot enjoy this feeling alone, it is enough.
Gu Luo noticed her gaze and turned his head to smile at her: "Dabao, what are you looking at?"
Luo Shuning inexplicably felt a long-lost shyness and quickly averted her gaze. She lowered her eyes, but couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. Her voice was as light as snow falling on the water: "Nothing, I just think... the Christmas lights are pretty beautiful today."
Gu Luo smiled and held her hand tightly, not exposing his girlfriend's little lie - he knew that she was not looking at the lamp, but at him.
Such little tacit understanding and romance are more comforting than any love words.
The wind blew gently over the moat, bringing a bit of early winter chill, but it couldn't blow away the sweet warmth between the two people.
As dusk deepened, Gu Luo held Luo Shuning's hand. The warmth from their fingertips dispelled the chill of the winter night. The two were walking slowly along the riverbank when they were suddenly attracted by a lively shouting in front of them - "Tanghulu! Anything can be coated with sugar! If it doesn't taste good, it's free!"
Following the sound, I saw a small stall with a wooden frame decorated for Christmas on the corner of the street. Light bulbs hung from the top of the frame, making the "treasures" on the straw target shine brightly.
Gu Luo became interested and pulled Luo Shuning to quicken his pace and move closer, squeezing in between a few passersby who were watching the fun.
The stall owner, a stocky man from Northeast China, wore a Santa hat and spoke with a crisp Northeastern accent. He was gesturing with a bamboo stick, "Our candied haws have not only the traditional hawthorns and strawberries, but also rock candied oranges, rock candied apples, rock candied grapes, and rock candied scallions. They're guaranteed to be sweet to the core!"
???
The first part is correct, but what the hell is this candied green onion?
Why did the style of painting change suddenly?
Gu Luo and Luo Shuning looked in the direction he pointed. The candied fruits in the front row were indeed ordinary, but when they moved their eyes to the back, they were both stunned - candied green onions were strung on the straw target, and the white part of the green onion was wrapped in a crystal sugar shell, like a translucent jade pillar.
Hanging nearby were candied pig's trotters, the glossy trotters so tightly coated in sugar that even the lines of the pig skin were clearly visible; even more outrageous were candied spicy strips, candied chicken legs, and even candied strings of brown silkworm pupae, the sugar shells glistening with a strange luster under the light, leaving people stunned.
Gu Luo and Luo Shuning looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock as if they had never met before, just like the other onlookers.
Gu Luo couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Everything can be made into rock sugar. This stall owner is really creative."
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned over, his warm breath brushing against the tip of Luo Shuning's ear, and he whispered teasingly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I want to eat 'Bingtang Dabao' tonight, okay? I love licking candy the most."
Rock sugar...Dabao?
lick.....
Caramel all over my body... just thinking about it...
With a "swish", Luo Shuning's cheeks turned red instantly, as if they were stained with rouge, and even the tips of her ears were burning.
She had originally maintained the stern expression of an icy beauty, but now the blush on her face was in stark contrast to her cold exterior, making her look particularly delicate and innocent.
She reached out and gently pinched Gu Luo's wrist, but without using any force. She just glared at him. Her eyes were no longer as calm as before, but were filled with shy anger.
Too embarrassed to stand up, Luo Shuning quickly turned around and said to the vendor, "Boss, I want two bunches of hawthorns!"
As she spoke, she took out her phone to scan the code to pay the bill. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't stay for even a second.
It's strange to say, the two of them obviously knew each other very well, and except for the last step, they did everything that lovers should and shouldn't do, but after being teased, they still couldn't help but feel shy and moved.
This is probably the most beautiful love.
Gu Luo followed her with a smile, looking at her flushed face, the smile in his eyes became even more intense. He reached out to take the candied haws handed to him by the stall owner, and did not forget to tease: "Don't be impatient, I haven't asked the boss if we can make 'rock sugar jelly' yet."
"Don't say that!"
Luo Shuning covered his mouth with her hand and quickly pulled him away from the stall. The big brother at the stall laughed heartily from behind him: "Young man, tell me what you want to eat in the future. I can wrap anything in candy for you!"
Hearing this, Luo Shuning ran even faster.
