Sheng Jianan’s gaze lingered on that candy jar for two seconds; it was a cute little white rabbit with a pink hat.
And the candies inside were also shaped like little rabbits.
Rabbit...
Sheng Jianan’s mind conjured up an image of Tang Yanqi with an innocent look that could kill with words, a hint of indulgence in his eyes.
How is that woman like a rabbit?
Clearly, she’s a little hedgehog.
"Do you have any hedgehog-shaped ones?"
"Ah... huh?"
The young girl was taken aback by Sheng Jianan’s question, quickly shook her head, then nodded: "Yes, sir, this way please."
She led Sheng Jianan to another counter, where there was a glass jar shaped like a hedgehog. It didn’t look as upscale as the previous one, but Sheng Jianan liked it very much.
The glass product clearly displayed the colorful candies inside.
This is a lot like Tang Yanqi, clearly a little hedgehog, yet clean, pure, and colorful.
"This is the one I want."
"Okay, sir, there’s a promotion today. For purchases over 188 yuan, you get a free handcrafted candy, and you can have sothing engraved on it. You’re just at 198 yuan, so you get the candy. Do you want anything engraved?"
This was the store’s marketing strategy, which Sheng Jianan would normally dismiss, but upon hearing about the engraving, he found it sowhat interesting. He thought for two seconds, took a note paper from the side, and scribbled a string of English: "Engrave this."
In the car, Tang Yanqi waited for over twenty minutes without seeing Sheng Jianan return, so she opened the door and got out. A cold winter wind hit her, and Tang Yanqi shrank her neck, her long hair blowing ssily.
B City had already started to cool down entirely, especially at night when the wind was strong, it felt even colder.
She didn’t know where Sheng Jianan had gone. Her eyes scanned the crowd, but she didn’t see a familiar figure.
This area was a comrcial district, bustling at night, with dazzling neon lights. Passersby no longer walked with the rush of the day, finding rare leisure ti.
Tang Yanqi’s gaze was drawn to a young couple not far away.
Both of them carried backpacks, seeming to be students from a particular high school.
The boy wore a black, light down jacket over his school uniform, with a scarf around his neck, while the girl next to him only had on a thin jacket.
It wasn’t very far, so Tang Yanqi could clearly see the girl constantly rubbing her hands, obviously cold.
The two walked to a small shop selling ice cream, and the boy bought a cone, handing it to the girl to eat. The girl looked up at him, took a small bite.
The boy took back his hand, and the two continued walking forward.
Tang Yanqi withdrew her gaze, involuntarily recalling the night Sheng Jianan put his jacket over her and teased her for looking like a dumpling.
She wasn’t about moral coercion, didn’t think a boy had to give a girl his clothes.
But it’s evident that if soone truly cares for another person, the other’s comfort matters more than their own.
Even if he’s clumsy, even if he lacks experience taking care of others, he would absolutely not feed ice cream to his thinly clad girlfriend in such a cold wind.
At this mont, her weary heart seed to relax, Sheng Jianan’s jacket, full of his scent, was enough to keep the winter cold at bay. Wasn’t his kindness to her enough to ward off grievances from others?
For him, for the chance to be with him, any grievance, no matter how great, shouldn’t feel like one.
Her mood brightened instantly, and Tang Yanqi opened the car door and sat back inside.
