Chapter Ninety-Six: A Tragic Figure (Thanks to YoYoYo for unblocking it!)



This time, when they arrived at the seafood stall, Luo Xiaoyi's eyes lit up. The crayfish here were quite good, each one lively and energetic.

The owner greeted them warmly, "Sir, madam, would you like some crayfish? The crayfish here are the biggest and best in the whole market. You two have excellent taste!"

"Hmph, it's my good taste that's the problem," Luo Xiaoyi thought to herself. "With someone like Ou Zihan who can't even tell the difference between grains, he should buy some lobsters that are about to die today."

As soon as she turned her head, she thought, "Where did Ou Zihan go? How did she disappear in an instant?"

She hurried to find him again. This man was such a worry. Where had he gone again? Without even saying a word? She searched for a long time and finally saw his tall figure in front of a frozen seafood stall. However, just as she was about to approach, she saw two beautiful women flanking Ou Zihan. One of the women was more charming than Luo Xiaoyi, while the other was more innocent.

This man, dressed as an ordinary citizen and mingling among the common people, still attracts so many admirers?

Sigh, this man, with his stunningly beautiful face that bewitches souls, was he born to ruin women?

Definitely, those two beauties were driven away by Ou Zihan's sarcastic remarks. He had a look of disgust on his face. What's wrong with women these days? They're all so proactive? Rushing to pounce on men! His Luo Xiaoyi is still the best—reserved, elegant, and always fatally alluring to him.

Thinking of his little woman, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Did you scare that pretty girl away and now you regret it and want to win her back?" Luo Xiaoyi patted his back lightly, and he immediately turned around to look at her.

"Little thing, do you care?" He pinched her little nose hard. The way this woman was jealous always made him feel incredibly good.

"Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing here? I've been looking for you for ages," Luo Xiaoyi said, rubbing her nose as she glared at him.

"Don't you love squid skewers? I wanted to make some for you. Look, I've already bought them all." Ou Zihan said happily as he opened the bag.

When she saw this, she exclaimed, "You bought so much? Are you stupid? Can you even finish eating this?" Looking at this huge bag, which must have weighed about ten pounds, Luo Xiaoyi was truly shocked.

“That way, I can cook for you every day,” Ou Zihan said gently, a happy expression on her face.

Looking at his expression, Luo Xiaoyi said with a sigh, "If you want to make it every day, you have to buy fresh ingredients every day. If you buy so much, it won't be fresh for long, and it won't taste good."

"Oh, you're right." He looked bewildered and muttered to himself, as if he had just realized he was an alien and was extremely embarrassed. He really knew nothing about grocery shopping or cooking. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. How was he going to make her squid skewers later? He started to worry.

Who would have thought that Ou Zihan, such a shrewd and capable man, would be such an idiot when it comes to daily life? He even said he'd make her squid skewers? Isn't that just wishful thinking? It's more like he'd ruin the squid! Luo Xiaoyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"You dare laugh at me? Believe me or not, I'll kiss you in public." Ou Zihan's warm voice threatened in her ear.

"I wouldn't dare," she quickly denied. Was there anything this man wouldn't dare to do? So she tried her best to hold back her laughter.

However, Ou Zihan's earnest expression in trying to please her was quite adorable.

In the crowd, a pair of alluring yet sorrowful dark eyes stared intently at Luo Xiaoyi's figure. Lin Hongyu wanted to make delicious squid skewers for Luo Xiaoyi, so he came here specifically to buy fresh squid. Because, Xiaoyi had once said that his squid skewers were the best in the world, and seeing how happily she ate them, he said he would make squid skewers for her for the rest of his life.

But now...

Xiaoyi and Ou Zihan looked so happy together. They were so harmonious, so natural, so comfortable with each other. There was no pretense, no coercion. They held hands from the bottom of their hearts and whispered sweet nothings to each other. It was as if the bustling crowd around them was just air. They were completely immersed in their happiness and sweetness...

Lin Hongyu stood there frozen like an ice sculpture, his heart feeling as if it had been hollowed out, empty and extremely painful. The large bag of squid in his hand slipped from his hand, the bag broke, and the squid scattered all over the ground... People around him looked at him with strange eyes.

Xiaoyi, have you really fallen in love with Ou Zihan?

Xiaoyi, have you really forgotten me?

But I can't forget you! What should I do? Tell me, what should I do?

...Pain once again filled Lin Hongyu's heart.

Luo Xiaoyi dragged Ou Zihan's arm to the crayfish stall. The owner was packing the crayfish for them and preparing to weigh them when suddenly a few crayfish fell down. Ou Zihan actually reached out to pick them up, which startled Luo Xiaoyi. Just as Ou Zihan's hand was about to touch the crayfish, Luo Xiaoyi tried to pull his hand away, but her hand was pinched by the crayfish's claws.

"Ouch..." Luo Xiaoyi cried out in pain, her face contorted in agony. She flung the crayfish away with a sudden jerk! Blood immediately welled up in her index finger.

Ou Zihan's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Luo Xiaoyi to risk her life to save him at such a critical moment. It turned out that she and he had become one.

But seeing her injured hurt him even more; he wished he were the one who was injured.

Just as Lin Hongyu was about to rush forward, Ou Zihan beat him to it.

"Xiaoyi, I'll take you to the hospital." With that, Ou Zihan scooped Luo Xiaoyi up in her arms and ran out of the market. Mo Nan quickly followed behind, carrying the things.
