When they got onto the bridge, they saw a tricycle with strings of candied haws on it. Several children were gathered around the tricycle, watching the stall owner making cotton candy without blinking.
The most eye-catching thing on the bus is the candied haws. Each hawthorn is round and red, covered with a layer of shiny sugar coating. From a distance, they look like a string of red lanterns, or like the blushing faces of children, bright and festive.
The children who bought candied haws or cotton candy left happily, while some held up a string of candied haws with red faces and laughed and played.
Lin Zhizhi couldn't wait to pull Lu Yi towards the cart, and stood there patiently waiting for the children who had arrived earlier than her to finish their purchases.
Lin Zhizhi held Lu Yi's arm and watched the stall owner making cotton candy non-stop for a while. Then she shifted her gaze to the candied haws that were stuck like arrows on the straw target made of bundles of straw, and silently chose which one was better in her mind.
That string is pretty good, each hawthorn is big and round, and the syrup is evenly applied, looking good.
After making his choice, he counted how many children were left and then looked around at what was being sold at the surrounding stalls.
Lin Zhizhi first looked to the left, which was the direction of the bridge they had just taken. There was no delicious food for sale there. There were only some tree roots dug up by the locals from the mountain, and some small jewelry and headbands for girls.
There were three or four young girls standing in front of the small jewelry stall. They looked about the same age as Lin Zhizhi and Lu Yi. They seemed to be together, looking at the jewelry in their hands.
There was nothing special about it. Lin Zhizhi was about to look away, but for some reason she looked over again and her gaze met those girls'. They probably didn't expect to be caught by someone else's girlfriend while peeking at someone else's boyfriend.
They quickly looked away, and the four of them just lowered their heads, looking at the jewelry in their hands and pretending to comment, not daring to raise their heads at all, with only extreme embarrassment of social demise in their hearts.
One of them raised her head to see what was going on, and met Lin Zhizhi's gaze. She forced herself to remain calm and smiled back, then quickly pulled her friend away.
Lin Zhizhi was calm and even smiled at her in a friendly manner. From a distance, she saw the four girls walking away for a distance, then looking at each other and laughing, as if they were happy and excited as if they had done something bad and successfully escaped.
Lin Zhizhi watched the four girls playing and walking around, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Tiantian and Sun Guo. She hadn't seen them for several days. Suddenly, she wanted to see them a little and go out and have fun with them.
Just as Lin Zhizhi was thinking about whether to send a video directly to Zhou Tiantian and Sun Guo to let them see the excitement of the market, a string of sparkling candied haws appeared in front of Lin Zhizhi.
Lin Zhizhi suddenly raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and looked at Lu Yi in surprise.
"Eat it."
Lin Zhizhi gladly took it. Lu Yi had already torn off the outer layer of membrane for her. Lin Zhizhi couldn't wait to take a bite, first tasting the sugar coating and then taking a small bite. There was a crisp sound and her mouth couldn't help but make happy sounds.
Lin Zhizhi squinted her eyes contentedly, held up the candied haws, and said sweetly, "I love you, husband~"
Lin Zhizhi noticed that the string of candied haws that she had just set her eyes on was gone, and then she realized that the string in her hand was the one she had set her eyes on.
Lu Yi saw that Lin Zhizhi was as happy as a child just by buying her a string of candied haws. He was happy but also a little worried about the food. He had to keep a close eye on her because she was so easily satisfied. She couldn't be snatched away by anyone without eyes.
Lu Yi held Lin Zhizhi's hand and continued to walk along the bridge. Lu Yi still held Lin Zhizhi's hand tightly, and the other hand held a string of marshmallows. Lin Zhizhi obediently let Lu Yi lead her and happily ate the candied haws she had been craving for.
Passing by a stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts, the two stopped again, waiting for the fresh, hot chestnuts that the boss had just put into the machine to come out of the pot.
There were only four candied haws in a string. Lin Zhizhi was still eating the first one. When she noticed Lu Yi was watching her eat, she held the candied haws in front of Lu Yi and asked politely, "Do you want to eat?"
In fact, Lin Zhizhi didn't think Lu Yi would eat it. First, Lu Yi was not very interested in these, and second, Lu Yi only bought this bunch just now. If he wanted to eat it, he would have bought another one.
But unexpectedly, Lu Yi actually lowered his head, opened his mouth, and ate two and a half in a row, including the half that Lin Zhizhi had just eaten.
Lu Yi's mouth was full and he was biting hard, making a crisp sound. He smiled and nodded, mumbling, "...Hello Pool."
Lin Zhizhi stared blankly at the half-eaten candied haws and the empty wooden stick, then looked at Lu Yi in disbelief, "You...I...it..."
Lu Yi originally wanted to tease Lin Zhizhi for a while longer, but when he saw Lin Zhizhi's aggrieved expression and her eyes that were accusatory and slightly moist, he immediately became scared and quickly stretched out the hand holding the marshmallow in front of Lin Zhizhi.
Lin Zhizhi was determined to piss off Lu Yi, and when she saw Lu Yi about to hand her the marshmallow, she thought that it would be useless even if he used the marshmallow to coax her, at most... at most she would just ignore him for a while.
Lin Zhizhi was just about to turn her head away proudly, but unexpectedly she saw Marshmallow turn around, revealing a string of red marshmallows behind it.
Lin Zhizhi wanted to smile for a moment, but quickly restrained herself and turned her head away.
How could Lu Yi, who had been paying attention to Lin Zhizhi's expression, miss the fact that Lin Zhizhi's eyes lit up when she saw the candied haws? Feeling a little relieved, he stuffed the candied haws into Lin Zhizhi's hand and coaxed her softly, "Baby, I was wrong, please forgive me, um~ ok~ forgive me~"
Lin Zhizhi refused to give in, so Lu Yi forced her to hold the candied haws while continuing to admit his mistake.
Lin Zhizhi accepted it and continued stubbornly, "I didn't want to take it, but you forced it on me."
Lu Yi nodded and said politely, "That's right, I forced them on you. You have no choice but to accept them."
Lu Yi coaxed Lin Zhizhi and hugged her with satisfaction. He sighed in his heart and thought that men should not seek death easily.
The lady boss of the sugar-roasted chestnut stall who had been watching the whole process: "..."
