Chapter 43

The most prosperous night market in City C is near the stadium. It is busiest at eight or nine o'clock every day. The whole street is brightly lit, and the stalls are arranged neatly. It is dazzling and dazzling, selling everything.

Li Wenyu and Pei Xin walked along the road and glanced at each stall. From food, clothing, housing and transportation, toys and wheelchairs for the elderly and children, motorcycles, video games and various blind box claw machines, hoops, shooting, there are also people holding stalls for fortune telling, blind date introductions, and bank financial consultation.

Pei Xin rarely came to a place like this. Finally, when he saw a stall selling custom-made shrouds, he couldn't help but sneer: "This place really can't sell anything except human trafficking."

Li Wenyu also found it strange, but not because of these tricks. There are so many stalls, but Pei Xin usually only orders high-end restaurants when going out to eat. At worst, he has to find a shopping mall. This time he actually came to the night market to eat.

"Maybe it's because this night market doesn't charge stall fees. I just saw it at the intersection," Li Wenyu glanced at the manicure stall next to him. There was a young mother coaxing her children to eat sweets while doing manicures for others, and asked again, " What do you want to eat? There seems to be no place to eat in front of you."

Pei Xin glanced around and pointed at the small food stall with smoke coming from the kitchen nearby: "The

food stall is not doing well . , there was only an uncle in a gray hat sitting outside eating. After Li Wenyu and Pei Xin passed by, they discovered that this uncle was the boss.

When the boss saw the customer arriving, he quickly stood up and wiped his mouth, pointing to the menu hanging on the cart: "Young man, let's see what we can eat."

The menu was made of foam board, and it was not difficult to see the traces of being soaked by oil smoke over the years. Li Wenyu glanced at Pei Xin and said, "Look at what you're going to eat."

Pei Xin gave him an "it's up to you" expression, turned around and sat sideways on the seat in the corner. Li Wenyu pursed his lips. He was not familiar with the cuisine here, and there were no pictures on the menu, so he had to order a few items at random.

The wooden stool here has no backrest, so Pei Xin sat upright and crunched the peanuts presented by the boss in his hand: "Do you think the food here is delicious?"

Li Wenyu looked at the smoke first The boss of Huo Liao Zhong's cooking glanced at him and said, "Didn't you choose the place yourself?"

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows and threw a peanut into his mouth: "At least these peanuts are okay."

Li Wenyu He didn't say anything, and his eyes drifted to the crowded paths outside. Next to this food stall is a barbecue stall. Since it is not yet time for supper, the business is not very good, but there are seven or eight middle-aged men gathered together drinking, and the sound of cans being clinked is a bit harsh while they are enjoying themselves.

Li Wenyu couldn't help but frown, and when he turned around, he found that Pei Xin had been staring at him like this. He blinked in confusion and was about to speak when the boss came over with a smile and a dish: "The crispy taro duck you ordered."

Li Wenyu felt that the dish in front of him was different from what he had imagined. , looked at it for a while before looking up again, and happened to catch Pei Xin's gaze again.

After all, Pei Xin is still a teenager, and basically all emotions can be seen from his expression. Li Wenyu has been with him for a long time, and he has figured out some logic. A smile with one eyebrow raised is probably a sign of ridicule, a furrowed eyebrow and silence is a sign of madness, and both corners of the lips are raised to indicate happiness. But now, if the eyes are not bent and the corners of the lips are straight, it means that you are unhappy.

Li Wenyu didn't know why he was unhappy, and he didn't bother to think about it. In short, it was fine that he didn't offend him.

The boss brought out several other dishes one after another. Seeing that Pei Xin hadn't moved yet, Li Wenyu handed over a pair of chopsticks and said, "Eat."

The chopsticks are disposable, with a plastic cover on the outside. He took it and tore off the plastic film, and said calmly: "Let's go watch a movie later."

Li Wenyu looked up at the sky. The light in the night market was too bright and he couldn't see anything clearly, but thinking of the foggy sky during the day, he He shook his head and said, "I feel like it might rain later. If you want to watch it, you can watch it on the hotel projector."

Pei Xin said nothing more and ate the meal in surprisingly silence.

On the way back, the night market was at its busiest and there were obviously more people. Li Wenyu and Pei Xin walked against the crowd and got separated easily, but Li Wenyu didn't notice it. When they were almost out of the most crowded place, they realized that the person next to them had disappeared for some time.

He stood on tiptoe and squinted to look into the crowd. Logically speaking, Pei Xin was easy to find. He was tall and stood out from the crowd wherever he stood. But there were too many people at the moment, and Li Wenyu was a little short-sighted and couldn't see clearly, so he had to find a slightly conspicuous place to stand and wait.

Opposite where he stood was a milk tea shop. The wall clock on the wall was turning slowly. The path was packed with people, stretching from end to end as if there was no end. Li Wenyu suddenly and slowly felt a little at a loss. He was now penniless, without a mobile phone, without a room card, and was in a strange city. The sounds of hawking, laughter, and the explosion of balloons during shooting lingered in his ears, but what he wanted to hear most at this moment was Pei Xin's voice.

It wasn't until Li Wenyu's legs were a little numb when he stood up that he started walking back and forth. The stains on the cement road glowed greasy under the light. Someone left a colored glass ball on it. Li Wenyu accidentally kicked it when he raised his foot, and the glass ball rolled forward. , but was quickly stopped by a white sneaker.

Li Wenyu looked up and saw Pei Xin's face that looked like a smile but not a smile. Pei Xin stood there, seeming to be out of place with Shili Shidao beside him. His brows were bright, sharp and straightforward, and he also carried a brilliant spirit.

Li Wenyu didn't say anything for a while, but his heart slowly fell. Pei Xin strode over and threw something into his hand, and he reached out to catch it numbly. It's light, cool, and a green apple-flavored candy.

"Did you just buy it?" Li Wenyu asked.

Pei Xin put his left hand in his pocket, and his tone was very casual, but also inexplicably a little proud: "Just now, a child fell on me, and I helped him. He thanked me for it."

Li Wenyu said, slowly. He opened the wrapper and stuffed the green candy into his mouth. There was no trash can nearby, so he had to hold the wrapper in his hand.

Pei Xin looked down at him: "Why aren't you happy when I do something good?"

The noise in their ears became farther and farther away, and they had already walked out of the night market.

Li Wenyu subconsciously touched his face, only touching the bulging cheek on one side. His voice was a little vague: "Where can I have it?"

Pei Xin pulled his lips, walked two steps and squatted down to tie the loose shoelaces. . Li Wenyu continued to move forward, but when he passed by, he was grabbed and asked to wait aside domineeringly. Li Wenyu curled his lips and said nothing.

Pei Xin slowly tied his shoelaces and asked, "How does the result of my helping others taste?"

Li Wenyu usually didn't like eating sweets, so he could only taste the sweetness, so he said sincerely: "It's quite sweet. "

Then let me try."

Pei Xin took his hand and stood up, and quickly and accurately blocked Li Wenyu's "How to try" in his throat. His tongue flicked across Li Wenyu's teeth, chasing the half-melted candy and teasing it.

Li Wenyu wanted to hide instinctively, but his head was controlled by Pei Xin's hand and he couldn't move at all. His right hand was also held tightly, as if he felt something was grasped inside. Pei Xin slowly opened his fingers and touched the wrinkled candy wrapper inside.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Wenyu felt that all the air in his head had been taken away by Pei Xinjuan, and he couldn't breathe evenly, so he quickly started struggling. Pei Xin then raised his head and released his numb lips. Li Wenyu's face was so hot that he had held it in. He rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand, turned his face and took a few breaths.

Pei Xin curled his lips, threw the candy wrapper from his hand into the trash can, and smiled frivolously: "It's quite sweet."
