Yun Shu Nian saw the little girl’s immediate expression of about to cry and quickly winked at her, indicating that she wasn't serious.
However, the little girl’s emotions surged too quickly, and with tears streaming down her face, she didn’t see Yun Shu Nian’s wink.
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry uncontrollably, Yun Shu Nian anxiously stepped forward to comfort her.
Fortunately, at this moment, the little girl’s brother reacted, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her aside.
Only when the two were increasingly far from Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi did Yun Shu Nian’s mood relax unconsciously.
“Mu Qi, let’s go.” Yun Shu Nian took Mu Qi’s hand and walked towards the exit.
Mu Qi: “Not playing anymore?”
Mu Qi was puzzled and surprised by the mountain palace.
“Mm, let’s go wander around somewhere else.” Yun Shu Nian swayed Mu Qi’s hand, thinking that other projects would probably be more thrilling than the roller coaster, and she definitely didn’t want to be as embarrassed as she was on the roller coaster!
Mu Qi naturally had no objections.
“Okay.”
Today is Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day…
Yun Shu Nian silently recited these three words in her heart, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
She always remembered to give Mu Qi a surprise, to let him experience worldly joy.
In Yun Shu Nian’s eyes, Mu Qi always seemed serious, meticulous, and lacked emotional fluctuations.
As a result, Yun Shu Nian at this moment was like King You of Zhou trying his best to make a beauty smile, determined to see her radiant smile.
If the mountain palace knew what Yun Shu Nian was thinking at the moment, he would surely scoff that Yun Shu Nian didn’t understand what pressure was.
However, he forgot that Mu Qi’s pressure never truly fell upon Yun Shu Nian.
Before long, darkness gradually enveloped the entire land.
The three of them turned to a brightly lit alleyway.
“Let’s go here.” Yun Shu Nian’s gaze fell on the shop next to the alley, then she casually pointed and pulled Mu Qi into the alley.
After playing all day, Yun Shu Nian now knew clearly that Mu Qi would not refuse her requests.
Thus, Yun Shu Nian’s actions became even more unrestrained.
Seeing the crowded people there, Shan Gong subconsciously frowned.
However, Mu Qi’s eyes merely glanced in the direction of Yun Shu Nian’s finger, and then his gaze was once again fixed on Yun Shu Nian.
It was as if as long as Yun Shu Nian was within his sight, it didn’t matter if she wanted to lead him into a sea of fire or a mountain of blades.
The alley was not wide, and it seemed even narrower amidst the crowded throng.
As they ventured deeper, Mu Qi naturally felt a sense of unease.
At this moment, one hand rested on Yun Shu Nian’s shoulder, while his other arm shielded them from the surrounding crowd, carefully enclosing Yun Shu Nian in his embrace.
Shan Gong, on the other hand, tried his best to shield Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi from the front, striving to create more space for them.
Crowds naturally meant liveliness.
As soon as they entered, Yun Shu Nian was captivated by the various small stalls lining both sides of the alley.
Takoyaki, stinky tofu, stir-fried sticky rice cakes, sour plum soup – a symphony of delicious aromas assaulted Yun Shu Nian’s senses, stimulating her appetite.
“Little girl, want to try some grilled skewers?”
Before they knew it, the three of them were swept by the surging crowd to a stall specializing in skewers.
Yun Shu Nian was immediately drawn to the meat skewers, involuntarily swallowing her saliva.
Before Yun Shu Nian could speak, Mu Qi directly picked up the skewer Yun Shu Nian was staring at and brought it to her lips.
Inhaling the aroma, Yun Shu Nian eagerly took a large bite, but the scorching heat brought tears to her eyes.
“So hot, so hot.” Yun Shu Nian buried her head in Mu Qi’s arms with a pained expression.
Yun Shu Nian’s aggrieved voice immediately caused Mu Qi to shoot a sharp glance at the auntie selling grilled lamb skewers.
The auntie felt that the look was terrifying, as if she would have tipped her stall over.
“Th-this… we have cold ones here.” The auntie trembled, pointing to the skewers beside her.
The world was treacherous, and the auntie decided not to confront him directly.
“Cold ones, ya, Ayi.” Yun Shu Nian’s spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. With a slightly slurred tongue, she emerged from Mu Qi’s embrace and looked in the direction the auntie was pointing.
“Ayi, your cooking is really good.” Yun Shu Nian ate with gusto, praising the auntie’s cooking skills as she ate.
“Mu Qi, have some.” Yun Shu Nian held up the lamb skewer in her hand to Mu Qi’s mouth. After all, having delicious food, Yun Shu Nian hadn’t forgotten about Mu Qi.
Mu Qi hadn’t expected Yun Shu Nian to change her mood so quickly and was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Yun Shu Nian without moving.
However, this made Yun Shu Nian think that Mu Qi found the outside food dirty.
“You don’t want to eat it? What a pity, you missed out.” Yun Shu Nian looked at the appetizing lamb skewers, fell silent for a moment, then lowered her hand and took another big bite.
If not for being imprisoned by Yun Rong in her past life and eating dirty, cold steamed buns from the ground, Yun Shu Nian might also have found these things dirty and been unable to eat them.
But now, Yun Shu Nian only felt that this was already delicious.
However, just as Yun Shu Nian was reminiscing about her past life, Mu Qi’s aura suddenly became intense at her nose.
Yun Shu Nian’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at the Mu Qi standing so close before her. Feeling Mu Qi’s soft touch through the skewer, she was momentarily flustered and surprised.
Mu Qi, however, cradled the back of Yun Shu Nian’s head with one hand, his phoenix eyes, more ardent than usual, fixed directly on Yun Shu Nian. He leisurely took a bite of the lamb skewer pressed against Yun Shu Nian’s lips.
“I don’t find it dirty.” After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qi finally straightened up, demonstrating through his actions that he did not find it dirty.
Yun Shu Nian, however, had not yet recovered from the scene. Her gaze followed Mu Qi upwards, her crescent eyes widening in a round, dazed manner.
Yun Shu Nian remained silent, and Mu Qi stood in place, gazing at her without urging her.
Only Shan Gong, standing behind Mu Qi, with his keen senses, could notice that Mu Qi’s arm by his side was held rigidly straight, and his index finger and thumb were pressed so hard against his leg that his fingernails turned white.
Shan Gong couldn’t understand; Yun Shu Nian was so proactive with the young master now, and Mu Qi’s actions earlier weren't even considered overstepping their relationship. What was he so nervous about?
