“What’s wrong? Your foot still hasn’t fully healed? How about I accompany you to the school clinic to get it checked again?” Shen Xi asked worriedly.

“But what about the fireworks show?” Guan Lei asked.

Shen Xi playfully flicked Guan Lei’s forehead with her index finger and said,

“You wooden-headed guy, what’s more important, your leg or the fireworks?”

Feeling cared for, Guan Lei immediately let go of his previous unhappiness and grabbed Shen Xi’s hand, saying, “I’m alright, I was just taken aback by how stunning you look today. I stopped for a moment to appreciate your beauty.”

“Guan Lei, you’re getting better at talking, aren’t you?” Shen Xi teased with a smile.

“I didn’t say that because I knew how to talk. I was expressing my genuine feelings. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful, and I just wanted you to know that you are the most beautiful to me,” Guan Lei spoke affectionately to Shen Xi without blushing or panting.

Shen Xi was a little overwhelmed by Guan Lei’s bold and passionate words, so she quickly took him to join the rest of the group.

Zhao Yuan had called a small bus, which took the dozen or so people directly to the destination.

When they arrived, the fireworks show had not yet started, so all students were free to move around and enjoy themselves.

Zhao Yuan originally wanted to go with Shen Xi, but upon seeing Guan Lei by Shen Xi’s side, she changed her mind and instead joined Huang Min and her mother.

Looking at the pleasing image of Guan Lei and Shen Xi standing together, Zhao Yuan was extremely satisfied. Their height, appearance, temperament, and intelligence made them a perfect match.

Guan Lei led Shen Xi along the path beside the river. There were all kinds of small stalls selling snacks there, and it was extremely lively.

Shen Xi’s attention was drawn to a string of bright red sugar-coated haws. When she saw a mother buying a stick for her little girl, her eyes lit up.

There were also cotton candies of various shapes, sugar figurines, chive boxes, stinky tofu…

Shen Xi felt like drooling at the sight of all these things she had never tasted before. In her previous life, when she was in the Jiang family, Xia Chun never took her to such places to eat. She was always picked up by the driver right after school.

Later, Jiang Xue returned to the Jiang family, and Shen Xi was quickly sent to prison. When she came out, she was killed in an explosion.

For the past few months since her rebirth, Shen Xi had never been in such a good mood to go out and explore the lively city, to feel the excitement of the crowds, and to bask in the festive atmosphere.

As Guan Lei watched Shen Xi’s expression, he almost laughed at the sight of her looking like a little gluttonous cat. However, her expression soon became tinged with a hint of sadness.

Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi back, saying, “Xi, stand here and wait.”

Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei puzzled, only to see him smile brightly at her. In his starry eyes, her reflection was seen, and the image of her inside had a questioning expression, appearing cute and innocent.

Before Shen Xi could ask, Guan Lei ran over to the Tanghulu stall and returned with a bright red Tanghulu in his hand. He waved it at Shen Xi with a big smile and then handed it to her, saying, “Xi, try it!”

Guan Lei looked at Shen Xi with hopeful eyes.

Shen Xi nodded and took a gentle bite of the strawberry-flavored Tanghulu. The sour-sweet taste instantly stimulated her taste buds, causing her to shiver all over. She had never realized that Tanghulu tasted like this.

Guan Lei lovingly rubbed Shen Xi’s head and said, “Just wait a little longer.”

And so, with Guan Lei’s comings and goings, Shen Xi tasted a lot of new things.

The first time she ate Tanghulu, Guan Lei bought it for her.

The first time she ate cotton candy, Guan Lei bought it for her.

The first time she ate stinky tofu, Guan Lei bought it for her.

The first time she ate wolfberry potatoes, the first time she ate iron plate tofu, the first time she ate grilled large intestines… all were bought by Guan Lei.

Guan Lei even took advantage and messed up Shen Xi’s hair, almost turning it into a chicken nest.

Shen Xi watched Guan Lei bustling around back and forth, and suddenly felt that she was actually quite happy being with Guan Lei.

Guan Lei handed a bowl of icy glutinous rice balls to Shen Xi and was about to go look for more food when Shen Xi stopped him and said, “Don’t buy any more. I can’t finish so much.’

If Guan Lei continued to run around like this, what if his foot starts hurting again?

Shen Xi lifted the full bags of food in her hands and showed them to Guan Lei, then said with a slightly spoiled tone, “I can’t carry anymore.”

Listening to Shen Xi’s soft and delicate voice, Guan Lei’s heart softened. He quickly went over to tidy up her messy hair and took all the things from her hands.

“It’s okay, I’ll carry them for you. You can eat them when you get hungry later,” Guan Lei said with a smile..
