Even though Long Yi was a man with relatively good strength, carrying several pots of flowers around on a crowded street was exhausting, and he sat down to take a break.
Next to him, the cries of street vendors rang out incessantly...
"Ice sugar gourd for sale."
"Rose pastries and osmanthus cakes for sale."
Long Yi stood up without a word, ran to the sugar gourd vendor, pulled out two wen of money from his pocket, bought a string of ice sugar gourds, and ran back.
"Little Xia, here, have so sugar gourds."
"Hey!"
Upon seeing the sugar gourds, Zi Xia’s eyes lit up. She reached out to take them, licked them once while bringing them up to her mouth, and closed her eyes in bliss, "Mmm, so sweet, so delicious."
An entire day of exertion, finally sothing tasty to eat. Running around the streets carrying flower pots all day was indeed too miserable.
After taking a few bites, Zi Xia noticed Long Yi’s empty hands and him watching her eat with a smile.
"Why did you only buy for ? Aren’t you gonna eat?"
"I don’t like eating them."
As a big man, Long Yi was afraid others would laugh at him if he held a string of sugar gourds to eat.
"It’s really tasty, sweet and sour, you should try it." Saying this, Zi Xia placed the sugar gourds near his mouth.
Long Yi was taken aback for a mont, then his heart burst with joy. The girl was expressing goodwill towards him, so he couldn’t ignore it. Then and there, he took a bite of the sugar gourd. Indeed, just as Zi Xia said, it was sweet and sour, the taste was excellent, and it was most fitting for the spring season.
"Really delicious."
"Told you it was, right?"
"Yeah!"
Up in the tree, Xuexue inadvertently glanced down and saw the interaction between Long Yi and Zi Xia. She nudged Long Rui beside her, saying, "Look at that, Zi Xia and Long Yi, when did they start getting cozy?"
"Who knows."
Of course, Long Rui wouldn’t tell Xuexue that just a while ago, he was particularly annoyed with Zi Xia because she was obstructing his interaction with Xuexue, so he deliberately got Long Yi to pursue Zi Xia. Little did he expect that Long Yi actually started taking it seriously.
Holding a piece of rose pastry, Xuexue spoke while eating, "Big Bull, why don’t you call them up here? This spot is perfect for watching the matchmaking contest."
This towering tree was large and had many branches, which could accommodate many people.
Finally getting a mont alone with Xuexue, Long Rui wasn’t about to agree to her request. His eyes glead as he said, "Honey, if they leave all that stuff down there, and soone steals it, wouldn’t you feel heartache? Those are the magnolias you carefully selected."
There was a mont of struggle on Xuexue’s face before she nodded helplessly, "Alright! For the sake of my magnolias, I won’t call them."
Long Rui felt secretly delighted; persuading his wife was too easy.
Unexpectedly, Xuexue then said, "Even if we don’t call them up, we should at least greet them."
Saying this, she was about to shout downwards.
Long Rui reacted quickly, stealing a kiss on Xuexue’s lips.
Xuexue was just about to call to Long Rui and Zi Xia at the tree’s base but was ambushed by Long Rui, leaving her stunned...
"In broad... broad daylight, what... what are you doing?"
Although they were already married, Long Rui kissing her in broad daylight still embarrassed her.
"It’s all because my wife is too beautiful, your husband couldn’t help himself."
"You smooth-talker."
Though she said so, Xuexue felt delighted in her heart; after all, Long Rui was the man she loved.
Long Rui’s interruption made Xuexue finally realize that Zi Xia and Long Rui had quietly left the tree’s base and had vanished from sight.
