The two did not go straight to the restaurant, but went to the aquarium. When night falls, the snack street is the busiest.
It was Meng Yao's first time to visit the snack street in the capital. It was crowded with people and brightly lit. Big red lanterns were hung high, adding a festive atmosphere.
The crowd was so crowded that Meng Yao had to hold Rong Ying's hand tightly. It would be troublesome if they got separated because Meng Yao didn't know the way at all.
Feeling the soft touch from the palm of his hand, his irritability slightly dissipated, and the noisy environment that he originally hated did not seem so unbearable.
He unconsciously tightened the other person's hand. Seeing Meng Yao sticking close to him, Rong Yun felt more and more that he had come to the right place.
Meng Yao kept looking around: "It's really lively here, have you been here before?"
There were too many noises around him, so Rong Yan slightly leaned over and moved closer to her: "What?"
The deep voice seemed to ring right beside her ears. Meng Yao subconsciously shrank her neck: "I mean, I, I'm fine..."
Rong Yan didn't delve into the matter. He took Meng Yao's hand and walked forward: "This place is quite famous. Let's see if there is anything you like to eat?"
Meng Yao nodded obediently and looked very well behaved.
In fact, she couldn't walk anymore after she reached the first store: "I want to eat roasted duck intestines."
Rong Wei took a look at the greasy barbecue, which was then sprinkled with various kinds of sauce by the boss.
“Too greasy.”
Meng Yao waved his hand: "How can you eat something that's not greasy when you're already in the snack street?"
In the end, Rong Yan quickly paid for her and then helped her carry the things.
Meng Yao was no longer embarrassed or repulsive about Rong Wei's presence, but she was holding a string of duck intestines in her hand, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
Meng Yao pulled the mask down a little, then pulled it up again.
There was some annoyance in her voice: "You can only look but not eat. Being a star is not easy at all."
Once she takes off her mask, she will probably be surrounded by people in the next second.
Rong Wei chuckled and thought of her past bad male partners: "Yeah."
Rong Yan put the string of duck intestines in her hand back into the bag and said, "Let's go for a walk and buy some food first. We can eat it when we get on the bus."
Meng Yao nodded.
Walking to another shop, Meng Yao couldn't help but be attracted. She took a few steps up the stairs and said, "I want a portion of zonggao."
The shopkeeper looked up in surprise: "Your voice... Hey girl, you look like a big star, your name is... "
Meng Yao had already slipped away with Rong Yun.
Later on, Rong Yan bought all the food for her.
"Hello, a serving of grilled large intestine."
A low voice sounded.
“Okay…” The shopkeeper looked up and saw the man standing in front of him. He was well-dressed and looked noble. He didn’t expect that such a noble man actually liked to eat pig intestines. He was slightly stunned.
But the store owner had been in business for more than a decade, so he quickly responded: "Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
After waiting for a while, Meng Yao took the fragrant skewered large intestine.
Rong Yan's face still showed a hint of disapproval: "Eat less of these, they are too greasy."
"I just eat some occasionally. Now that we're here, husband, let's not be so rigid about it!"
After visiting just a few shops, Rong Yan's hands were already full of things.
Many people around looked over at them, perhaps because they were too eye-catching.
"Why did you pack so much food? Are you going back for a midnight snack?"
"Look at their temperament, it's not an exaggeration to say they are red carpet models!"
"Look at that guy's boyfriend. He's not only handsome, but he also knows how to love his wife. Look at you again!"
…
After one round, Rong Ying had a lot more things in his hands.
I bought enough snacks, and I don’t think I can finish them tonight. If I leave them until tomorrow, they will not be fresh anymore, which would be a waste.
Looking at the large and small bags in Rong Yan's hands, Meng Yao felt a rare pang of guilt: "We've almost finished shopping, honey, let's go back."
"Not going to continue shopping?"
"I am a little sleepy."
Rong Yan nodded: "You walk in front of me."
Meng Yao looked at him with a puzzled look.
"Aren't you afraid of getting separated? If I follow you, we won't get separated."
Meng Yao walked to the front. She walked for a distance and suddenly turned back, not knowing what she was thinking of.
When she turned around, she saw Rong Yan following her closely, holding the snacks she bought.
The dim warm light reflected on the side of his face, softening his cold features.
"Why don't you leave? I'm behind you."
Meng Yao suddenly felt a complex emotion, like bitterness and emotion. This emotion was so difficult to describe that her senses did not fully capture it, but she felt her heartbeat speed up by two beats.
Meng Yao ran back to his side and stuttered in an unnatural tone: "It would be too lonely for me to walk alone, so I'd better go with you."
His eyes moved slightly, and he said only one word at the end: "... OK."
When she got back to the car, Meng Yao lost her appetite for the delicious food. She felt that her mood was terribly messy.
The car window was slightly open, and a slight breeze blew in, but it was not enough to offset the heat and boredom in my heart.
They bought too many snacks, so after arriving at the villa, Meng Yao invited Wang Ma and the others to eat together.
Rong Wei definitely didn't want to eat it, but under Meng Yao's coercion, he ate a few pieces.
Meng Yao had a poor appetite and returned to her room without eating much. As soon as she put the quilt over her head, she felt the side of the bed sink slightly, and then Rong Ni's voice was heard.
"Why are you eating so little? Are you feeling unwell?"
Meng Yao choked slightly. Is this the retribution for being a foodie
She poked her head out from under the quilt, her cheeks red as peach blossoms: "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy, I'll be fine after a good sleep..."
Without waiting for his answer, Meng Yao turned around again and faced Rong Yin with her back.
Meng Yao did not hear Rong Yan's voice afterwards, but she could feel the gaze that could not be ignored. Meng Yao suppressed the strangeness in her heart, twisted her body and closed her eyes again.
But this night is destined to be sleepless.
*
The weather was hot, burning people like a furnace. Meng Yao gave up the idea of enjoying the scenery outside and went back into the RV.
The air conditioner in the car was on, and I finally felt a little bit of comfort.
A familiar ringtone rang.
"Sister Meng, your phone is ringing."
Meng Yao took out her cell phone and answered: "Hello, Brother Liang."
Guan Liang's voice sounded somewhat anxious: "Meng Yao, do you still remember what you asked me to check before?"
Meng Yao narrowed her eyes and asked, "What happened to Meng Qingqing?"
"It was really not easy to investigate this matter. It took a lot of effort to find the clues, but the result is almost right."
"who is it?"
The other party said slowly: "Rong Zhen."
