Previous | Table of Contents | Next

Heavy rain cannot stop people from rushing towards delicious food, and the snack street is still crowded with people on rainy nights.

The awning was put up, the warm orange street lights were on, and the air was filled with the aroma of food, mixed with the faint smell of rain, which whetted your appetite.

The two of them first went to order the roasted pig's trotters that Tao Mingzhuo highly recommended.

While waiting for the meal to be served, Jing Ci heard Tao Mingzhuo ask himself: "Do you have anything you want to eat more? I will help you arrange it later."

Jing Ci shook his head and replied: "I have never been here before. , I might as well trouble you to recommend it to me."

Tao Mingzhuo's tone was full of surprise: "Is there anyone in this city who has never been to this snack street?"

Jing Ci didn't say anything, but patiently explained: "Because it's here. Before I went abroad, this was a free park open to the public. "

...It's okay, just follow me. There are a lot of delicious things here,"

Jing Ci smiled gently at him. : "Thank you."

Tao Mingzhuo said "hmm" as if he was a little uncomfortable.

Because of the difference in body shape between the two, Tao Mingzhuo's coat was a bit too big on Jing Ci's body, especially the sleeves, which almost covered Jing Ci's palms.

Jing Ci hesitated for a moment, worried that the sauce on the food would get on her cuffs, so she carefully rolled up her cuffs.

In Jing Ci's eyes, Tao Mingzhuo was a somewhat different being.

Because he always behaved awkwardly in front of Jing Ci, but he seemed to be unable to help but care about his own condition.

As if he has been suppressing some emotion, Tao Mingzhuo always looks awkward and embarrassed when he expresses concern.

She is also a bit thin-skinned, always stammering without saying a few words, and her face and ears will turn red at the same time.

Jing Ci looked at Tao Mingzhuo walking in front.

The young man was tall and strong, holding a steaming snack in his hand. Because he gave himself the coat, he was only wearing a thin short-sleeved T-shirt, and his exposed arm muscles were very beautiful.

Jing Ci looked away.

In fact, in Jing Ci's plan at the beginning, he just wanted to maintain a simple relationship with Tao Mingzhuo in the company.

The reason why he didn't tell Tao Mingzhuo about his illness was first of all because Jingci didn't want to use the so-called "illness" to kidnap the other party. He didn't want Tao Mingzhuo to treat eating with him as a responsibility that he had to fulfill, but he could Eat in the most relaxed state to achieve the best meal preparation effect.

And considering that Tao Mingzhuo has many colleagues and friends around him, his condition may be leaked, which is something Jing Ci doesn't want to see.

Jing Ci never expected that the two of them would have more interactions in their private lives besides eating.

That night at the nightclub, after she took the initiative to disclose her sexual orientation, Jing Ci thought that Tao Mingzhuo would choose to keep a certain distance from her.

After all, Jing Ci clearly remembered that Tao Mingzhuo had told him personally before that he already had a "sweetheart", which was also the reason why he refused to have lunch with him before.

Jing Ci had always thought that Tao Mingzhuo's sweetheart should be the little girl in the company who always appeared with him and joked with him.

The strange thing is that when a normal straight man encounters such a situation, he will react somewhat uncomfortable. However, Tao Mingzhuo not only accepted it quickly, but he also didn't show any hesitation or unnaturalness when getting along with him in the past few days.

This made Jing Ci feel a little confused.

When he was lost in thought, he heard Tao Mingzhuo ask himself: "Cyclone Big Potato?"

Jing Ci came back to his senses and replied: "Okay."

Tao Mingzhuo asked again: "Another hot dog stick?"

Jing Ci: "Okay. ."

Tao Mingzhuo seemed to know this newly opened snack street very well, and he led Jing Ci skillfully through the crowd.

His eating speed can be said to be exceptional. He can finish the snacks he bought at the previous stall almost before walking to the next stall.

Jing Ci stared at Tao Mingzhuo's side face and tried to eat at his pace. Although the food was indeed delicious and satisfying, it was still slower than Tao Mingzhuo's speed.

After a while, Jing Ci's hands were filled with food.

Tao Mingzhuo had just bought two bowls of fresh grilled cold noodles at the stall. When he turned around, he saw Jing Ci holding many things in his hands, and he no longer had the hands to pick up the bowl of grilled cold noodles.

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then reacted belatedly: "Did I eat too fast?"

Jing Ci shook his head: "I ate too slowly."

Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo's figure There was a pause.

Tao Mingzhuo hesitated, hesitated, and said, "Actually, you... don't always have to accommodate me."

"If you think I walk too fast or eat too fast, you can Talk to me directly without always thinking about my feelings," he said.

Jing Ci was startled.

Then he saw Tao Mingzhuo take a deep breath and said, "And every time we eat together, you always ask me what I like to eat, and always ask me to order what I like..."

Tao Mingzhuo Zhuo's voice was a little dull: "Why...why can't you think about it for yourself?"

In fact, Jing Ci never felt that he had done anything to "accommodate" Tao Mingzhuo. His starting point was always to hope that Tao Mingzhuo Mingzhuo could eat happily, so he was willing to make some compromises to make Tao Mingzhuo eat more deliciously.

But what Jing Ci didn't expect was that Tao Mingzhuo would feel burdened by his excessive compromises.

Jing Ci hesitated for a moment and said, "Then can you... get me something?"

Tao Mingzhuo was silent for a while, nodded, stepped forward, and took some of the cold snacks from Jing Ci's hand.

Jing Ci thanked her softly, thought for a while, and made a food request to Tao Mingzhuo for the first time: "Can you buy me a dumpling ice cream?"

dumpling ice cream is one of the more popular Internet celebrity foods in this snack street. One, as the name suggests, it is normal ice cream with a bunch of dumplings on it.

When he was just queuing up, Jing Ci saw many passers-by holding such full cups in their hands. He thought it must be because the taste was relatively good.

Jing Ci has never really liked ice cream. What really attracted him was the glutinous rice dumplings on top of the ice cream.

The glutinous rice dumplings are round and small and are strung together with bamboo skewers. The embellishment of soybean powder also makes it look more attractive. In addition, Tao Mingzhuo can eat with him beside him. Jing Ci feels that he will enjoy it very much. A dessert.

Tao Mingzhuo was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Tao Mingzhuo walked towards Jing Ci holding two cups of dumpling ice cream.

Tao Mingzhuo's eating speed was still excellent. Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo slurping one dumpling at a time, and within a short while, more than half of the entire cup of ice cream was gone.

Jing Ci hesitated for a moment, preparing to try to keep up with Tao Mingzhuo's speed this time, then he also lowered his head and swallowed two glutinous rice dumplings in one breath.

It was delicious, but after chewing it for a while, Jing Ci found that the glutinous rice dumplings were very tough, and the dry soybean flour sucked up the moisture in the mouth, making it impossible to bite them open for a while.

Jing Ci frowned as his mouth was filled with sticky glutinous rice dumplings.

While trying to swallow, Jing Ci suddenly felt a chill on the back of her hand, and realized that the ice cream had melted a little because she ate too slowly.

Tao Mingzhuo had already finished the ice cream on hand and just threw the cup into the trash can. When he turned around, he found Jing Ci raising the ice cream in his hand in front of him.

Jing Ci spoke vaguely: "Can you... help me..."

There were too many things in his mouth, and Jing Ci could only spit out a few simple words with difficulty and vagueness.

Even though Tao Mingzhuo had helped him share some of the burden, Jing Ci still had too many things in his hands, and the ice cream melted faster than he imagined.

Jing Ci decided to take out the tissue in his pocket and simply wrap the ice cream cup, but only if Tao Mingzhuo could free his hand.

He hesitated for a moment and brought the cup of ice cream in his hand closer to Tao Mingzhuo's face.

However, for some reason, Jing Ci noticed that Tao Mingzhuo's face suddenly turned red.

Jing Ci was a little confused, thinking that Tao Mingzhuo didn't understand what he meant, so he pointed at the cup of ice cream with the other hand holding the snack, and at the same time indicated with his eyes whether he could help him get it.

Then Jing Ci saw that Tao Mingzhuo's expression became alarmed and uncertain. He looked a little at a loss and stuttered: "You...I..."

Jing Ci was really speechless, so he could only While trying to swallow what was in his mouth, he lifted the ice cream in his hand a little further.

He spoke with some difficulty: "I... I'm going to melt... you..."

It was very difficult to talk with food in his mouth. Jing Ci choked on the soybean powder immediately. He frowned and looked... He coughed twice.

When he raised his head, he found Tao Mingzhuo looking at him blankly.

After a while, Jing Ci heard him hesitantly say to herself: "You, stop talking and finish what's in your mouth first. I...I already understand."

Jing Ci thought it was Tao Mingzhuo who finally understood. Knowing what he meant, he suppressed the itch in his throat and nodded.

They stood in the crowd. Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo walking towards him step by step and stopped.

Tao Mingzhuo looked into Jing Ci's eyes.

Just when Jing Ci thought Tao Mingzhuo was about to reach out and take the ice cream, he saw Tao Mingzhuo pursed his lips hesitantly, then lowered his head and put his face close to her hand -

he faced Jing Ci He took a big bite of the ice cream in his hand.

Jing Ci was startled: "...?"

The young man always took a big bite when eating, and he bit off some of the melted parts of the ice cream, turning it into a small hill with a flat top.

The lights in the night market were warm and bright, illuminating the young man's bulging cheeks and some melted ice cream on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo's Adam's apple moving, and then heard another "dong" sound as he swallowed the ice cream in his mouth.

He straightened up, first looked at Jing Ci's face, and then his expression became a little evasive, obviously embarrassed, but pretending to be calm.

Jing Ci saw Tao Mingzhuo lower his head, raise his hand, and wipe his mouth randomly and hastily.

"Is this...is this okay?" Jing Ci heard the young man ask in a low voice.
