Chapter 1754 This Pickup Line
How can two people who are so thin have such big appetites?
Where did they all go?
This is truly something I've never seen before. Luckily, their restaurant doesn't have any competitive eating contests, or they would have eaten us into bankruptcy.
Finally, because they spent a lot per person, the boss gave them two bottles of Coke for free. Shen Xi was overjoyed. This was pure free money. Who wouldn't like that?
Too full.
Chen Chuan suggested, "How about we go for a walk to digest our food?"
"Aren't you afraid your daughter will start making a fuss and wanting to see you when it gets too late?"
"Don't worry, Zhou Yunxiao will definitely take her to eat fried chicken legs. With her personality, she won't come back until she's so full she can't walk."
When there are chicken drumsticks, you don't actually have to look for your dad at night.
Sister Caibao is very clear about the distinctions; just think of her heroic act of running out in the middle of the night for a chicken leg.
Oh, in that case, Shen Xi can play without worry.
"Then let's wander around a bit more before going back. I've been to Lincheng for a whole year, but I haven't had a proper chance to explore it yet."
"Shopping at the mall is boring, let's go to the night market instead. I heard there are lots of fun things to do at the Lincheng Night Market."
"Row!"
Without hesitation, the couple headed straight to the night market after leaving the small restaurant.
Actually, it was still early and the conditions for a night market were not yet met. But as everyone knows, Chinese people are hardworking and capable, and before it got dark, vendors came out to claim their spots, filling the market to the brim.
Although it's hot in summer, it has to be admitted that night markets are most interesting and have the most vibrant atmosphere in the summer.
There were many people and many stalls, making it a lively and bustling place.
There are all sorts of delicious foods: crispy pork cracklings, crispy diced vegetables, small flower pastries, spicy potato chips, fried houttuynia cordata, grilled skewers, and so on. They are all delicious and won't fill you up.
Eat from beginning to end, and your appetite will be greatly satisfied.
Shen Xi especially liked the crispy pork belly, and also bought a lot of crispy diced meat and pastries to give as souvenirs to friends and colleagues when she returned to Hecheng.
She's at least aware of basic social etiquette since she's on a trip.
If you're thirsty after eating something oily and spicy, have a glass of prickly pear juice or prickly pear jelly to refresh and cut through the grease.
Tired from walking, the two went to the theater to watch a stand-up comedy show. The performers on stage were witty and humorous, occasionally cracking a few bawdy jokes. Every sentence was packed with punchlines, so many that it made them double over.
What's even more interesting is the interactive element on site.
The actor is clearly from Northeast China. No wonder it's a place where everyone talks like they're telling jokes. Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh whenever she heard him speak. He had so many jokes, his mind worked quickly, and he could respond to anything.
Sometimes you have to admire these stand-up comedians; you don't know how their brains work, how they can make their words so funny.
She was all smiles when she came out of the theater. Even though the tickets weren't cheap, they were worth it.
Chen Chuan remained expressionless from beginning to end, making him the calmest person present.
Luckily, they weren't sitting in the front row, otherwise the people on stage would have been speechless upon seeing Chen Chuan. They might have even doubted whether their jokes were funny enough.
Having a partner with a high threshold for laughter can sometimes be quite troublesome.
After laughing and digesting the laughter, I continued strolling through the night market.
Not only are there delicious foods, but there are also fun activities.
There were ring toss games, fishing, shooting games, and also stalls selling small animals like cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds. Shen Xi lingered at the parrot stall for a while, looking around to make sure that Qiao Yu was really rich and powerful; she had never seen parrots like those outside.
Shen Xi had only seen those species in the zoo; they were not ordinary things.
I suddenly thought of Little Grey Wolf.
Shen Xi nudged Chen Chuan with her shoulder: "What do you think, should we buy a parrot for Caibao to play with?"
Chen Chuan said directly, "Why spend this money? Just go to Xi Chen's house and get it."
"Can Qiao Yu give it to me?"
Each of her birds is a treasure, with a name. She even knows if a feather is missing. You want to take one of hers? Even if Sister Caibao asked her for one, Shen Xi felt that Qiao Yu might not agree.
Although Qiao Yu sometimes thought about giving her son to them to raise, she couldn't give the parrot away.
Chen Chuan said shamelessly, "It's okay, I'll have Xi Chen steal it."
If they're found out, it'll be Xi Chen's fault. They're family; they can beat the dog to a pulp and it's none of their business.
"Oh, you're so naughty!"
"uh-huh."
"But I like it, hehe, let's do it this way."
"You're chatting so enthusiastically, but we still don't know if you want the treasure."
"It seems so."
Treasure doesn't seem to have much interest in birds; in fact, it seems that Treasure's only interest in animals so far is playing with them.
Just like other people's children, they look pretty and cute, so we quickly take them over to hug, play with, and tease them. But when they cry, pee, or poop, we quickly return them to their mothers.
That's how Caibao is. When you go out, you can pet other people's cats and dogs as you please, but when you raise your own, you have to walk them, feed them, and clean their litter box, and there's always a bunch of fur flying around the house...
Just thinking about it makes me want to take three big steps back.
People who don't do housework have no right to decide whether or not to keep pets at home, unless they can guarantee that they will keep things tidy and not add to other people's housework burden.
However, Chen Chuan had planned to get Caibao a big dog after moving to the villa, but now it seems that he doesn't need to. With Xiaobai around, it's as good as a thousand troops.
However, there's a question: should the wolf be walked? Or can it be kept at home? Or should it wear a muzzle when walked? Also, should it be registered as a wolf or... a dog?
Forget it, it's too complicated. Let Zhou Yunxiao handle it.
Chen Chuan has always been quick to shift blame.
Shen Xi wandered around for a while before being drawn away by the teppanyaki.
"I'm going to buy a few skewers, wait for me a moment. Oh, and could you go buy me a milk tea?"
Very good, you've arranged things very well.
Chen Chuan had no choice but to go and buy milk tea for his wife.
I had just ordered my bubble tea and was waiting for the delivery guy to make it when a few little girls pushed and shoved their way up to him. The prettiest one of them, with a blush on her face, smoothed her hair and came over: "Handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"
The phone was held out, and her QR code was clearly displayed on it.
Chen Chuan took the milk tea and glanced at her.
They had been pointing and laughing at him before, which he had noticed, but he had always ignored these young girls. Who would have thought that young girls these days could be so bold as to strike up a conversation?
The handsome guy looked at her, and the girl's face turned even redder.
My goodness, he looks even more handsome up close than from afar.
Those eyes, that nose, those lips, and his long fingers holding the milk tea cup—she liked them all.
How can there be such a handsome man in this world?
If only he were her boyfriend. But, not being boyfriend and still having a relationship... she wasn't opposed to it.
She glanced at his straight nose and fingers, secretly pleased.
The girl moved a little closer to Chen Chuan, looking quite shy: "Handsome, my name is Xiao Yao. I really like you. Can we be friends?"
