"Big Brother, it takes nearly three hours to get to the Shilin night market from here.”
Shen Jiayi looked at Zheng Hong as if he was a fool. She really suspected that there was something wrong with Zheng Hong. It was just a meal, but it took three hours. Then, it took another three hours to come back.
She began to suspect that Zheng Hong had some ulterior motives towards her.
The two of them went to the Shilin night market and deliberately didn't come back at night, and then…
She couldn't be blamed for thinking too much. After all, there was a night market nearby.
Zheng Hong didn't go to the nearby night market and insisted on going so far away to the Shilin night market. He must have some kind of brain problem or some unspeakable secret.
"It's okay. Isn't tomorrow the weekend? He didn't have to wake up early, so it was fine to be a little late, right?”Zheng Hong said indifferently.
"I can't go back on weekends either. I'll be beaten to death if I go back so late.”Shen Jiayi shook her head, mainly because she didn't trust Zheng Hong.
After all, it was so far away that she didn't feel safe.
Moreover, she had only known Zheng Hong for the first day and did not understand him at all. How could she agree to go to such a faraway place with Zheng Hong?
Actually, Shen Jiayi was overthinking things this time.
Zheng Hong had heard of the Shilin Night Market a long time ago. However, at that time, Zheng Hong had not obtained the system yet. He was just a poor loser who earned 3,000 yuan a month.
At that time, he thought that when he had money, he would also come here to eat and see if it was that delicious.
It was a pity that this wish had never been realized, and he gradually forgot about it.
Zheng Hong had just heard Shen Jiayi say that he wanted to go to the night market, and he immediately thought of this matter. That was why he wanted to go to the Shilin night market.
Zheng Hong looked at Shen Jiayi without any distracting thoughts in his eyes. He said sincerely,""Just take it that you're accompanying me, okay? Don't worry. I admit that I have feelings for you, but I, Zheng Hong, am not that kind of person. I will definitely not do anything to you.”
Shen Jiayi blushed when Zheng Hong exposed her worries, but she still felt conflicted.
How was she going to explain to her parents that she had returned home so late?
If he told the truth, his parents would definitely interrogate him endlessly.
But if he lied…
She had never lied to her parents before.
Seeing Shen Jiayi remain silent, Zheng Hong's little face was filled with a conflicted expression. He spoke again,""Why don't you call home first and tell them that you're going home late because you're with your classmates? If they don't agree, we won't go.”
"Alright, find a place with a public phone and park the car.”Shen Jiayi nodded. This was the only way.
"No need. You can use my phone to call.”Zheng Hong took out his phone and handed it to Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi looked at the phone that Zheng Hong handed over and muttered,""As expected of a young master from a rich family. He can actually afford a mobile phone. What an evil capitalist.”
After all, it was the early 1990s, and cell phones were not yet common. Ordinary families could not afford them at all. Most of them still used landlines.
So when Shen Jiayi saw that Zheng Hong actually had a cell phone, she couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Zheng Hong noticed the envy in Shen Jiayi's eyes. He smiled and said,""If you like it, I'll give you one.”
"No way!"
Shen Jiayi refused arrogantly as she dialed her family's number and said,""Hello, Mom, can I go back a little later today? I'm with Hu Jiawei…Okay, got it…Bye…"
After Shen Jiayi hung up the phone, she let out a long sigh of relief.
She didn't know why, but when her mother asked her who she was with, she immediately felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to say that she was with Zheng Hong, so she could only lie and say that she was with Hu Jiawei.
This was the first time she had lied to her family, and it was for a boy she had just met. If it was in the past, she would never have thought about it.
For the rest of the time, because Shen Jiayi was thinking about something, the two of them fell into silence.
Under Zheng Hong's constant urging and the temptation of ten times the fare, the driver kept speeding along the way and ran countless red lights.
Therefore, the original three-hour drive was completed in an hour.
After getting out of the car, Zheng Hong saw a stall selling Pan-Fried Pork Bun. His eyes lit up, and he held Shen Jiayi's hand as he ran to the stall. He said to the stall owner,""Boss, give me ten Pan-Fried Pork Buns first!”
"Good!" " Yes!" The boss agreed and quickly picked up ten Pan-Fried Pork Bun for Zheng Hong. He placed them in a lunch box and handed it to Zheng Hong.
Shen Jiayi saw Zheng Hong buying so many Pan-Fried Pork Buns at once and said speechlessly,""Hey, do you even know how to eat at the night market?”
There were so many stalls in the entire night market, and the first stall had already eaten so much. According to Zheng Hong's eating method, he would probably not be able to eat anymore after visiting five or six stalls.
"Fresh meat and prawns. The taste is very good. It's not inferior to the abundance in Shanghai.”Zheng Hong ate one and his eyes lit up.
The Pan-Fried Pork Bun was indeed quite authentic. Although it could not be compared to the main store, it could still be considered delicious.
"You eat too. It tastes great!”Zheng Hong picked one up and said as he brought it to Shen Jiayi's mouth.
"I…um…"
Shen Jiayi wanted to say that she would do it herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Zheng Hong stuffed a pan-fried bun into her mouth.
"How is it?" Zheng Hong looked at Shen Jiayi with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting for her praise.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" Shen Jiayi nodded.
"If it's delicious, then eat more." Zheng Hong picked up another pan-fried bun and brought it to Shen Jiayi's mouth.
"Me…hmm…"
Once again, Zheng Hong stuffed the Pan-Fried Pork Bun into Shen Jiayi's mouth without waiting for her to refuse.
But this time, after Shen Jiayi finished eating, she quickly took a step back and said,""You can eat the rest. I still have to save my stomach for other things.”
Since she had come all the way here, she naturally had to try a few more delicacies. She did not want to walk to the end and not be able to eat anything.
She watched Zheng Hong eat happily and didn't say anything to remind him.
She felt that Zheng Hong would regret it later if he ate happily now.
Pan-Fried Pork Bun was indeed delicious, but how many delicacies were there in Shilin Night Market?
Even if he only took a bite of each, he would be stuffed to death.
Zheng Hong actually started eating at the first stall. He was obviously an outsider. Did the young masters of rich families not come to the night market?
Shen Jiayi was very confused.
Zheng Hong finished the remaining Pan-Fried Pork Bun in one bite. Before he left, he gave the boss a thumbs up, which made the boss happier than hearing any compliments.
"Jiayi, let's go. I heard that Shilin sausages are very famous.”Zheng Hong naturally held Shen Jiayi's hand and went to look for delicious food.
Shen Jiayi had corrected Zheng Hong many times, asking him to call her by her full name. However, Zheng Hong refused to change his mind, so she was too lazy to say anything more. It was just a form of address, so let him be.
However, she realized that Zheng Hong was really shameless. She had already let go of the name, but now he was holding hands again.
