Chapter 142: Visiting the Night Market

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was a snack street around the set. It was very lively at night and was one of the most-reviewed attractions on the Internet. The three of them thought about it and decided that since they were not that hungry, they might as well go to the snack street together.

In the end, the three of them began to regret their decision. This snack street was so crowded that they probably wouldn’t be able to squeeze in!

Zhang Zhang had an idea. After she searched for the nearest snack street on the map, she rushed over with the two of them.

Because there were too many people, Zhang Zhang held Yuan Shu’s arm. Yuan Shu looked at her arm awkwardly, but she let Zhang Zhang pull her to another snack street.

Actually, Yuan Shu wasn’t used to such intimate physical contact because in the environment she used to live in, such contact wasn’t allowed. Therefore, when Zhang Zhang’s hand reached over, Yuan Shu instinctively felt a little repulsed.

However, after walking for a while, Yuan Shu got used to such intimacy. It was as if the joy of the lively little girl beside her was transmitted through her arm. Even Yuan Shu was in a good mood.

Since this street was beside the internet celebrity snack street, most of the tourists were there. There were not many people on this street, but because the taste was good and the price was discounted, many local residents still ate here.

As Zhang Zhang stood in front of the archway at the entrance of the snack street, she said in satisfaction, “We’re here! Eat as much as you guys want today. My treat!”

After saying that, she turned around. When she realized that she had been holding Yuan Shu’s hand, she suddenly felt a little awkward. She didn’t know whether to pull her hand out or not, so she froze on the spot.

Instead, Yuan Shu retracted her arm and said with a smile, “Let’s go.”

Shi Lu was also shocked. His usually dignified sister-in-law wasn’t even that close to Shi Yi. It seemed that she had genuinely accepted Zhang Zhang.

Zhang Zhang was a frequent customer of the snack street, so she could tell at a glance what was delicious and what wasn’t. She took her phone and scanned the QR code every time she arrived at a stall as she carried a pile of food in her arms.

Yuan Shu wasn’t used to eating while walking, so the three of them found a bench by the tree and sat down.

Zhang Zhang first used a bamboo stick to fork out a sugar oil baba. After she caught it in a paper bowl, she brought it to Yuan Shu’s mouth. “Yuan Shu, try this! The skin is crispy and the inside is soft. It’s delicious!”

Yuan Shu had never eaten these sorts of snacks before. It wasn’t because she despised these snacks, but because she really didn’t have the chance. She had lived in the military camp since she was young and had grown up in the palace, so she had never even seen how the commoners lived.

After she looked at the sugar oil baba beside her mouth, she took a small bite. The sweet texture seemed to have dispelled the fatigue of the day.

Then, Zhang Zhang handed over a bucket of cold pot skewers. “If you eat too much sweet food, you’ll get a little sick of it. Eat some spicy food to get a change of taste!”

Quail eggs, fungus, boneless chicken feet, and peeled prawns were stuffed into Yuan Shu’s mouth one after another. Yuan Shu ate in a hurry, but before she could swallow, another one was sent to her mouth by Zhang Zhang.

Yuan Shu really couldn’t eat anymore. She stopped Zhang Zhang’s hand that was about to reach out again. “Zhang Zhang, I can’t eat anymore. Let me rest for a while!”

Only then did Zhang Zhang realize that she had fed her too quickly. She stuck out her tongue and hugged the remaining cold pot skewers in her arms. Then, she said to Shi Lu, who had been following behind them, “Go buy some fruit tea for Yuan Shu.”

Shi Lu was speechless. “So I’m just here to run errands for the two of you? Alright, alright, alright. 1’11 buy lemon tea.”

Zhang Zhang smiled foolishly and began to put cold pot skewers into her mouth. As she ate, she said, “Yuan Shu, you should come to such places with us more often!”

Yuan Shu froze for a moment. This sentence was so familiar. It seemed that someone had said it to her before, but she couldn’t remember who it was. It probably wasn’t someone important.

Yuan Shu smiled as she replied, “Then you have to bring me here more often in the future.”

Zhang Zhang stared at her in a daze.. “Yuan Shu, you look so pretty when you smile!”
