Xia Tian took out a skewer of oden from the paper bowl in Qiu Mengyun's hand and asked as he ate, "How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"
Qiu Mengyun swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded, "Well, it's okay! But eating while walking on the street is definitely more interesting than eating in a big hotel."
Xia Tian: "Is it just so-so? But I think the oden we ate today is especially delicious."
Qiu Mengyun asked in confusion, "Why? Didn't it taste like this when you came here before? Did the boss improve the recipe?"
Xia Tian smiled and shook his head. "No, the reason why I think today's food is so delicious is because free food tastes so delicious. But this is also thanks to our beautiful Meng Yun. I've been eating here for over a decade and never got a free meal. But as soon as you showed up today, we were immediately forced to get a free meal. I have to say, you're really charming, and you really appeal to everyone, young and old!"
"Hehe, of course, I'm Miss Mengyun, who is loved by everyone. But the boss just now is really nice. Not only does he cook delicious food, but he is also very pleasant to talk to." Qiu Mengyun said with a smile.
"Of course. The most important thing for them to do business here is social skills. After decades of wind and rain, their edges have long been smoothed out by life. Every smile on their face actually shows the difficulty of life." Xia Tian sighed.
Qiu Mengyun stopped and looked at Xia Tian in surprise.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I accidentally get soup on my face while eating?" Xia Tian asked in confusion when he saw Qiu Mengyun's reaction.
Qiu Mengyun shook her head. "No, I just thought what you said was very strange. It doesn't sound like something someone your age would say. Instead, it sounds more like something someone in their forties, who's been through the ravages of life, would say."
"What are you thinking about? I've just seen a lot and occasionally have some feelings. Eat quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold." Xia Tian didn't explain too much and directly chose to change the subject.
After eating oden, Xia Tian took Qiu Mengyun to a barbecue stall and bought some grilled duck intestines, grilled squid and other items.
"Aren't you hungry? Why do I think you don't seem to be enjoying your meal at all?" Xia Tian asked in confusion as he watched Qiu Mengyun take a long time to finish a string of grilled squid.
Qiu Mengyun complained with a bitter face, "It's lively here, and the food is delicious. But there are too many people outside all the time. Every time I eat, I have to move the mask over my mouth, which is too inconvenient. It's more convenient to eat in the hotel room. I can just start eating."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's worried look, Xia Tian smiled and said, "So you're worried about this. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me such a simple problem earlier, I could have helped you solve it in minutes."
"Tsk, what are you bragging about? Do you think you can make everyone collectively forget what I look like?" Qiu Mengyun said with disdain.
Xia Tian smiled and said, "There's no need for them to forget what you look like. All they need to do is cut a big hole in your mask where your mouth is. That way, every time you eat, you can just put your food in through that hole without having to take off the mask."
Qiu Mengyun waved her fists and punched Xia Tian a few times. "Don't give me bad advice. I won't fall for it. Don't think I don't know. If I do what you say, my mask and my mouth will be stained with all kinds of sauces in no time. Then people on the street will definitely think I'm a fool."
Xia Tian deliberately said in surprise: "Huh? How do you know so clearly? Have you really done this before?"
Qiu Mengyun retorted, "I didn't. I've never dared to go to places like this before. If I were accidentally recognized, it would be difficult to escape. But I heard from Sister Lu that there was a little celebrity who did that. As a result, his friends took ugly photos of him, and then he became a laughing stock."
"Don't worry! I was just joking with you just now. I'm not that unreliable." After saying that, Xia Tian took Qiu Mengyun's hand again and walked towards the depths of the night market.
"Where are you taking me? We haven't finished eating yet. If we don't eat now, it will get cold soon." Xia Tian held her hand again, but Qiu Mengyun just asked what they were going to buy this time. She didn't even notice that she had become completely accustomed to Xia Tian holding her hand.
Xia Tian: "Of course I'm going to help you solve the problem!"
Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun walked familiarly through the streets of the night market and soon stopped in front of a jewelry store.
"Let's go, if I remember correctly, here's what we need."
Since most people who come here are here to buy snacks, there are not many people entering the store to buy things. Xia Tian glanced around the store and found what he needed.
He picked up a mask that only covered his eyes from the shelf and handed it to Qiu Mengyun, saying, "Here! Put it on. With this, you don't have to worry about others recognizing you, and it won't interfere with your meals."
After Qiu Mengyun put on the mask, she took it off. She looked in the mirror and found that she really couldn't see her true appearance. She said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be so smart. This is indeed much more comfortable than wearing a mask. Why didn't I think of wearing a mask?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's normal that you didn't expect it. After all, you rarely come to a noisy place like the night market before. And if you were to go out wearing a mask in the places you appeared before, others would think it was strange. Only in the night market would you appear in this outfit without feeling out of place."
