Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "It seems that Uncle Xia gave you a lot of pocket money?"
Xia Tian smiled happily and said, "Of course, it's enough for my living expenses for a year. I didn't expect that my dad loves me so much."
Qiu Mengyun hit him mercilessly: "Tsk! Come on, stop being so conceited. This money was clearly given to you by Uncle Xia to entertain me. If I hadn't behaved well before, how could you have so much pocket money now?"
"Yes, yes, yes! You are right. You are the biggest contributor today. I will take you on a nice tour later, and food, drinks, and entertainment will all be included." Xia Tian agreed with a smile.
Mentioning what happened in the ward just now, Qiu Mengyun said with lingering fear: "But it was really close just now. We behaved very well. Grandpa Xia and Auntie didn't have any suspicions. Who could have thought that your father would suddenly ask me such a question? If I hadn't been so experienced over the years, I might have really revealed my flaws in a moment of panic."
Xia Tian explained, "It's normal for my dad to see through the flaws. Before he retired, he was an ace special forces soldier in the army. Disguise, reconnaissance, and reading people's expressions were his specialties. Luckily, you were smart enough to think of acting like a spoiled child and playing the opposite role, and you managed to pull my mom and grandpa off in time. Otherwise, if he had continued to suspect us, we would have been exposed in a matter of minutes."
Hearing Xia Tian's praise, Qiu Mengyun said proudly, "Hehe! Now you know how powerful I am! If you had rejected my offer and instead chosen those unsophisticated underclassmen from your school, I'm afraid Uncle Xia would have been able to get her details out in a few words."
"You're absolutely right. Our Miss Mengyun is the most beautiful girl in the universe. Not only does she sing and dance beautifully, but her acting is also invincible." Xia Tian rarely praised Qiu Mengyun so much.
"Hehe! Anyway, the problem on your side has been temporarily solved. Next, think about where to take me to play. I tell you, I'm really hungry. You must treat me to a big meal today." Qiu Mengyun said happily.
"Just follow me. I will definitely treat you well when we get to Zhengcheng. I will make sure you have a satisfying and happy meal." Xia Tian directly took Qiu Mengyun's hand and walked quickly towards the parking lot.
"Oh! It's already out, why are you still holding me!" Qiu Mengyun's face flushed red when Xia Tian suddenly held her hand. She struggled shyly, but her murmur was too soft and Xia Tian didn't hear it at all.
"What did you say?" Xia Tian turned around and asked in confusion.
"No, nothing." After trying to struggle twice and failing to break free, Qiu Mengyun let Xia Tian hold her hand.
Well, it's okay. I'm his girlfriend now, even if it's a fake one, but it's still a temporary one. So, it doesn't seem like anything special about him holding my hand. Besides, holding hands when we meet my parents will definitely happen more often. Just treat it as practice for future meetings. Qiu Mengyun, feeling mixed emotions, followed Xia Tian, constantly comforting herself mentally.
Xia Tian drove the car he had borrowed from his father, and skillfully navigated the streets of Zhengcheng. After driving for more than 20 minutes, Xia Tian parked the car in a roadside parking lot.
After getting out of the car, Qiu Mengyun looked around in confusion and asked, "Xia Tian, didn't you say you were going to take me out for a nice meal? But where you parked doesn't look like there's any nice restaurant nearby."
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Just listen to me in my territory. Just follow me. I promise not to let you down."
Qiu Mengyun said dissatisfiedly, "Huh! Still trying to play tricks on me? Fine, I'd like to see what tricks you can come up with. If you can't satisfy me in a short while, I'll tell Uncle Xia about you tomorrow."
Ignoring Qiu Mengyun's threats, Xia Tian skillfully took her hand and walked towards the street outside the parking lot. After a few minutes, the two arrived at a bustling night market.
Qiu Mengyun asked in surprise: "Aren't we going to eat? Why did you bring me to the night market?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "Of course it's to eat. The delicious food here is as good as in a big restaurant!"
"Tsk! What? It seems to me that you are reluctant to spend money, so you brought me here to eat at a roadside stall." Qiu Mengyun muttered softly.
"Who cares if it's a roadside stall or a big hotel? As long as it tastes good, that's fine." Xia Tian didn't explain much and directly pulled Qiu Mengyun towards the bustling street.
Led by Xia Tian, the two soon arrived at a stall with a long line. Xia Tian smiled and introduced Qiu Mengyun to him, "Let me tell you, don't underestimate this humble little stall. Business here has always been booming. The owner has been here for over 30 years, and I've been eating there regularly since I was a kid. His oden is not only fresh and delicious, but also affordable. It's one of the few hidden gems in this night market."
Looking at the long line in front, Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "So many people are willing to wait in line here. Is their oden really that delicious?"
Xia Tian smiled and said, "It's not up to me to say whether it tastes good or not. You'll know after you try it."
Since the oden was prepared in advance, even though there were many people queuing in front of them, it was Xia Tian and the other person's turn very quickly.
Xia Tian didn't even consult Qiu Mengyun's opinion and ordered more than a dozen skewers of oden very skillfully.
