After Huo Jinning and Xu Luoqing parted ways, they continued to stroll around for a while.
"Aqi, these fermented rice balls look delicious."
Huo Jinning stared brightly at the food stall ahead, pushing Fu Qinian along quickly.
"There's wine here, why don't we go back and eat it?" Fu Qinian smiled helplessly at her excited expression, but still said with some concern.
The thought of Huo Jinning getting completely drunk after just a few drinks made him feel a little scared.
"No, I'll just eat a little bit, it'll be fine, okay?"
Huo Jinning grabbed Fu Qinian's arm with both hands and shook it, her eyes full of expectation and coquettishness.
"Hmm... okay then! But you can only buy the small portion."
Fu Qinian hesitated for a moment, but eventually softened and agreed, though he couldn't help but give some instructions.
"Okay, thank you, Qi. I knew you were the best!"
Huo Jinning was so happy she almost jumped for joy, and quickly ran to the stall owner to buy a serving of fermented rice balls.
Upon receiving it, Huo Jinning couldn't wait to scoop one up with a spoon and put it in her mouth, savoring the sweet and soft texture and the faint aroma of wine, and squinting her eyes in satisfaction.
"Wow~ It's so delicious!" Huo Jinning exclaimed as she ate, then scooped up a spoonful and held it to Fu Qinian's lips: "Qinian, you should try some too!"
Fu Qinian looked at her lips, which were covered in powdered sugar, smiled indulgently, and opened his mouth to put the dumpling in his mouth.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Huo Jinning asked expectantly, her big eyes blinking.
"Hmm, it tastes good." Fu Qinian nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning laughed even more heartily and began to bury herself in enjoying the delicious fermented rice balls.
"Mmm, delicious, sweet."
Fu Qinian looked at the spoon the two of them shared, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
I wonder if he meant the dessert itself or something else when he said "sweet"?
Huo Jinning didn't notice Fu Qinian's subtle change in expression. After hearing him say it was delicious, she smiled happily and scooped up another spoonful to feed him.
At first, everything was normal, but after they got into the car, Huo Jinning's face gradually became rosy, as if she had been tinged with a faint blush.
"Ah Qi, don't move, I'm dizzy," Huo Jinning said, covering her head with her hand and frowning slightly.
"Okay, I won't move. Do you want to lie on my shoulder and rest for a bit?" Fu Qinian looked at her with some tenderness, his tone full of doting and care.
"Okay, sure." Huo Jinning said, leaning her head on Fu Qinian's shoulder as if she had found a comfortable haven.
Not long after, a steady and gentle breathing sound reached Fu Qinian's ears, and he knew that Huo Jinning had fallen asleep.
Fu Qinian gazed quietly at Huo Jinning, who was fast asleep in his arms, his face showing an incredibly tender expression, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
"Young Master, we've arrived." Driver Li Mo spoke cautiously, his voice low, afraid of waking Huo Jinning.
"Okay, sure," Fu Qinian replied softly.
Then, he gently opened the car door and slowly got out.
Then, he went around to the other side of the car, carefully lifted Huo Jinning out, and placed her steadily on his lap.
The wheelchair was then handed over to Li Mo to push.
As soon as they entered the Huo family home, Huo Nanchu took the person in her arms away and sent her back to her room.
Fu Qinian was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. After exchanging polite greetings, he left.
