At this moment, seeing that they had already bought the things, the two of them were about to return home.
Ye Qing glanced at the girl who was still smiling and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, under Dongfang Huaizhu's somewhat surprised gaze, he walked to the Tanghulu stall not far away and bought two sticks of Tanghulu.
Then, Ye Qing handed her a skewer and took a bite of one himself.
"Here, try it?"
Ye Qing chewed on the candied haws as he continued to speak with a blurry look in his eyes.
"Thank you for standing up for me today. I originally wanted to come over to buy some materials and some gifts for you as a token of my gratitude, but in the end, not only did I lose the money to buy the gifts, I even borrowed 200,000 taels from you.
It was really embarrassing, hahaha.”
Ye Qing scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.
"Well, I don't have any money on me now. The last money I have is just enough to buy two skewers of candied haws. I thought that you might be tired of eating delicacies since you were young, so I wanted to treat you to a skewer of candied haws for a change. Do you want to try it?"
As Ye Qing spoke, he organized his words at the last minute. Finally, he stuttered out what he wanted to express.
He had no choice. He had little experience with the opposite sex. Now that he suddenly met a beautiful girl and it seemed that she had a good impression of him, who wouldn't think too much under such circumstances?
More importantly, not only was this girl beautiful, she even lent you money. A total of 200,000 taels of silver. This kind of treatment was simply hard to find!
And then, what was Ye Qing's reaction?
He treated people to candied haws, and it was the kind that cost one coin per skewer. Moreover, there was only one skewer, and there was no more.
This huge contrast between the two made Ye Qing, who had always been calm before the collapse of Mount Tai, feel a little embarrassed.
However, what he did not expect was that Dongfang Huaizhu's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.
Ever since she took the stick of candied hawthorns, she had been staring at Ye Qing in a daze. She did not say anything, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. It seemed that she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She remembered her previous life.
Ever since she had met Ye Qing, he had always liked sweet food. Tanghulu was his favorite. He could not put it down. No matter if he was happy or sad, he would eat it while fighting many times.
Not only did Ye Qing love to eat, but he also often advised her to eat more.
At that time, Dongfang Huaizhu had asked Ye Qing out of curiosity why he liked sweet food so much.
Then, Ye Qing's answer was:
"There are nine out of ten things in life that go against my wishes. Since life is already hard enough, why don't I give myself a little more sweetness?”
" Besides, the candied haws are really delicious. I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, Huaizhu, you should try it too. Open your mouth…"
When Dongfang Huaizhu saw this stick of candied haws, the memories of their past life surfaced in his mind again.
Although it was just a very ordinary memory at that time, she still felt a lump in her throat and her eyes reddened when she thought about the weather again after being reborn.
When Ye Qing saw this, he was stunned. Why was she crying after eating a candied haws?
Even if he didn't like it, he shouldn't have such a big reaction, right?
"You, are you alright?"
"If you don't like it, throw it away. It's not valuable anyway.”
Ye Qing was a little flustered. He reached out to take the candied haws from her hand.
However, just as he raised his hand, he saw Dongfang Huaizhu suddenly open his mouth and gently bite off a candied hawthorn. He put it into his mouth and slowly chewed.
She chewed very slowly and seriously, as if she was tasting the most precious food in the world. Ye Qing didn't have the heart to disturb her. It wasn't until she finished a candied hawthorn that Ye Qing said carefully.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
The young girl raised her head and smiled sweetly.
"Yes, it's very sweet and delicious. I like it very much.”
Ye Qing heaved a sigh of relief.
"I thought you didn't like to eat this just now. You looked like you were about to cry, and you scared me.”
Dongfang Huaizhu shook his head.
"No, I don't dislike it. Just now, I just thought of some past events and felt a little touched.”
Ye Qing was curious.
"Remembering the past? What kind of past could be related to Tanghulu and make you feel so deeply? Could it be related to your sister? I remember that she also likes to eat this.”
Dongfang Huaizhu smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"This is a secret. I can't tell you."
"I'm even more curious now that you're keeping me in suspense. You can at least tell me if it's a happy or unhappy thing.”
"Yes, it's a happy thing, a very happy thing. I feel very lucky.”
"Since it's a happy thing, why did you look like you were about to cry just now?”
"Can't I cry tears of joy?"
"Alright, whatever you say.”
"Brother, you really know how to say nice things. I just don't know if you've said the same thing to other girls.”
"Hahahaha, this kind of small matter is not important, hahaha. Speaking of which, do you know that eating more sweets can actually make you live longer?”
"Oh? Really? There was actually such a saying?”
"That's right. A sage called Lu Xun once said that there are nine out of ten unhappy things in life. Life is short, so you need to eat more sweets to live longer. I've always thought so.”
"Eh? What are you laughing at? Don't you think this sentence makes sense?”
"Yes, it does make sense."
"Then why are you laughing?"
"Because I feel very happy."
"What's there to be happy about?"
"I don't care. I'm just very happy.”
"Alright, Miss Dongfang, you're good-looking.”
"Humph ~"
……
Under the setting sun, the two of them walked on the small road, chatting happily.
The golden afterglow spread out, and the two shadows looked as if they were snuggling up to each other.
The setting sun, the small road, the fairy and the sword immortal.
This scene formed a beautiful painting that made people envious.
