There was hardly any change, so even a slight one could easily be noticed.
"It’s nothing." Di Mingzhe tried to regain composure and added, "What’s the matter?"
"I ca here to bring you this." Dan Lingling’s sweet smile gave way to her handing over the bag in her hand to Di Mingzhe.
The bag was full of heat and a strong aroma wafted out, Di Mingzhe’s eyes narrowed as he took the bag, "Stinky tofu."
"Yes." Dan Lingling’s smile beca even sweeter, "It’s from that place near our school. I went there to visit a teacher today and didn’t expect they were still selling it, so I bought so right away. I know you love this!"
Back then, when they were still in school, there were snack stalls everywhere outside the school, offering all sorts of snacks.
Dan Lingling, being a girl, naturally loved snacks. Her father was not yet the President at that ti, hence she was not so delicate.
But Di Mingzhe never ate street food.
Of course, Lingling knew the Di family’s airs, just like in the romance novels, she really wanted him to taste it as well, but Di Mingzhe simply wouldn’t.
It wasn’t until one day, Dan Lingling bought the stinky tofu, playfully and boldly intending to tease him, she stuffed a piece of tofu into his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Di Mingzhe found it quite tasty, and he actually ate it!
After that, the stinky tofu beca the only street snack Di Mingzhe was willing to eat.
But, he was picky, only enjoying the one from that shop outside the school. He said all other kinds didn’t taste right.
As they grew older and graduated, naturally they didn’t eat it as often.
This ti, she didn’t visit her teacher, she went specifically to find this stinky tofu.
But after searching for a long ti - apparently the original shop was closed - she went through lots of trouble to find the address of the owner’s house, and didn’t arrive until the evening.
Turns out, the original shop had simply moved. The tofu was still being made, and it tasted exactly the sa.
She ate a portion herself, and then bought two more portions to rush over to Di Mingzhe.
Di Mingzhe looked at the hot bag in his hand, and after slightly pursing his lips, finally said, "Thank you."
"No, no, not at all." Dan Lingling waved her hand, "It was on my way. Brother, you should eat quickly!"
Di Mingzhe hesitated for a mont; eventually, he opened the bag, took a piece and put it in his mouth. Sure enough, it was the sa taste as before.
"How is it, tasty or not?" Dan Lingling also took a piece and placed it in her mouth, sweetly smiling as she ate and asked.
"Mmm." Di Mingzhe nodded.
"I also think it’s very delicious. Their stinky tofu is the best!" Dan Lingling smiled, her radiant joy seeming to take her back to their carefree school days.
She didn’t dress professionally or maturely today, but sported a tracksuit, which made her look sowhat younger and more youthful.
Seeing her face full of smiles, Di Mingzhe’s previously overwhelming emotions were slightly distracted.
He nodded, basically acknowledging her words.
"Brother, can we go for a walk?" Dan Lingling sniffled the stinky tofu as she asked.
Di Mingzhe raised his eyebrows, seemingly puzzled.
"What I an is, can we stroll down the road and eat our tofu together, just like we used to do?" Dan Lingling smiled explaining, "Otherwise, won’t we look silly just standing here and eating?"
