Seeing her like this, Mu Siwen's heart melted. He couldn't help but reach out and gently scratch her nose, and said with a smile: "You are such a greedy little cat. Haven't you always been thinking about that mutton head hotpot? Let's go to the place I took you to last time. You will definitely not forget the taste there. How about it, do you want to go?"
When Lin Zhiyue heard this, her eyes instantly lit up like the twinkling stars in the night sky, a brilliant smile blossomed on her face, she nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I really want to go! When I think of the taste of the sheep's head pot, my mouth is watering."
As he said this, he licked his lips mischievously.
Seeing her greedy look, Mu Siwen couldn't help but laugh out loud. He took her hand, interlocked their fingers, and walked towards the parking lot: "Let's go quickly, don't let you, a greedy little cat, wait too long."
Lin Zhiyue followed him obediently, their figures were stretched out in the sunlight, and the whole journey was filled with sweetness.
Mu Siwen and Lin Zhiyue walked into the warm restaurant side by side. The air was filled with the rich aroma of mutton, which immediately dispelled the cold.
The waiter quickly brought a pot of steaming mutton soup to the table. Mu Siwen carefully helped Lin Zhiyue fill a bowl of soup, and reminded her: "Be careful of the heat."
He looked at Lin Zhiyue with some concern in his eyes, and asked softly: "Aren't you busy recently? You seem to be in a much more relaxed state."
Lin Zhiyue drank a mouthful of soup to warm herself up, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I was very busy recently, but now it's finally over. Next, I plan to stay at home and prepare for the college entrance examination."
Mu Siwen raised his eyebrows slightly. He worked in a government unit, so he was naturally well-informed. He had heard about the resumption of the college entrance examination a long time ago.
He nodded, his eyes full of encouragement: "This is a good opportunity. With your ability, you will be fine if you prepare well. If you need any help, just ask."
After hearing this, Lin Zhiyue nodded vigorously.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Mu Siwen looked at Lin Zhiyue with great interest, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes: "Come on, I'll take you to an interesting place."
Lin Zhiyue's face was full of confusion, but also full of anticipation, as she followed Mu Siwen through the streets and alleys.
After many twists and turns, they came to a slightly hidden place.
There was a bustling crowd in front of him, and noisy conversations could be heard everywhere. Lin Zhiyue looked up and saw stalls lined up next to each other, filled with all kinds of strange and weird things.
Her eyes lit up instantly, full of curiosity, and her pace unconsciously quickened.
Seeing Lin Zhiyue's curious expression, Mu Siwen explained with a smile: "This is a Taobao market. Although the stalls are messy, there are many good things hidden inside, from old items to rare things. However, you need a good eye. Whether you can pick out treasures depends entirely on your own ability. If you are not careful, you can easily make mistakes and suffer losses."
While listening to Mu Siwen's words, Lin Zhiyue couldn't wait to walk towards the nearest stall.
The stalls were filled with a wide variety of small items, including old ornaments with a patina, and some old books with yellowed pages.
She gently picked up an old book. The handwriting on the cover was a little blurry. Just as she was about to open it to take a closer look, the stall owner came over enthusiastically and introduced it to her in a torrent of words: "Girl, this is a rare old edition book. It is well preserved and hard to find on the market."
Lin Zhiyue looked up at Mu Siwen, her eyes full of questions. Mu Siwen walked forward, took the book, flipped through a few pages, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Lin Zhiyue softly: "This book is a bit old, but the quality is average. As for the price, I have to consider it again."
When the stall owner heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he quickly started introducing other items.
The two of them wandered around the bustling market for a long time. The goods on the stalls were so diverse that it was hard to take in.
Suddenly, Lin Zhiyue stopped in front of a stall filled with all kinds of accessories, and her eyes were instantly attracted by a bracelet.
The bracelet has a unique style, the chain is slender and delicate, and the pendant is a gem that exudes a warm luster. It is particularly eye-catching against the backdrop of the surrounding objects.
Lin Zhiyue herself couldn't explain why, but a voice in her heart told her that she must not miss this bracelet.
Her eyes were fixed on it, full of love and desire.
Mu Siwen had been paying attention to Lin Zhiyue's every move. Seeing her stop for a long time and staring at the bracelet, he understood about 70% of it. He thought that since Lin Zhiyue liked it so much, it would be nice to buy it for her.
So, Mu Siwen didn't hesitate at all, bargained with the stall owner, and paid the money readily.
When he took the bracelet and handed it to Lin Zhiyue with a smile, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Zhiyue's eyes.
She originally wanted to buy it with her own money, but seeing Mu Siwen's sincere look, she was somehow not able to refuse.
She gently stretched out her hand and handed her white wrist to Mu Siwen, raised her head slightly, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Then help me put it on."
Mu Siwen carefully picked up the bracelet, gently wrapped it around Lin Zhiyue's wrist, and fastened the clasp. His movements were so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
After Lin Zhiyue put on the bracelet, she couldn't wait to raise her hand and wave it in front of Mu Siwen, her eyes sparkling, and she asked in a tender voice, "Does it look good?"
Mu Siwen raised the corner of his mouth, looked at her tenderly, and said sincerely: "It looks good and suits you very well."
Lin Zhiyue, with a brand new bracelet on her wrist, continued to stroll in the bustling market with Mu Siwen.
The warm orange afterglow of the setting sun slanted down through the gaps between the stalls, casting crisscrossing light and shadows on the ground.
Lin Zhiyue stopped from time to time and glanced at the items on the stall, but her mind was not at all on the dazzling array of goods.
She kept thinking in her mind, since Mu Siwen gave her such a beautiful bracelet, should she give him a gift in return?
What to give as a gift became a problem.
She was afraid that the clothes would not fit her size, and the pen was too ordinary. She frowned, bit her lower lip, and looked very conflicted.
When she passed by a stall selling handmade leather goods, her eyes lit up. A leather notebook might be a good choice. Mu Siwen works in a government agency, so she must keep records on weekdays. This one is practical and stylish.
But soon, she hesitated again, wondering if this gift was too unoriginal.
Just when Lin Zhiyue was feeling conflicted, a melodious flute sound came from afar.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man not far away playing a bamboo flute intently. The stall next to him was filled with all kinds of bamboo musical instruments.
