When she heard what he said, Su Qiuge recalled the sequence of events that resulted in her calling him ‘father.’ She reminded herself that he was in a bad mood today and was in need of special care, so be the bigger person and don’t bicker with him.
But when she lowered her eyes and saw the bow on her wrist, she got angrier the more she tried to ignore it. Therefore, after she walked halfway, she stopped for a moment. Then she took a detour and walked around behind him, ending up on his right side. The balloon was tied onto her left wrist, so it conveniently brushed into his face.
There were various night market activities on the food street. After they strolled for a long time, Su Qiuge even saw the kind of game where you would shoot a gun to win prizes in one of the shops.
There was an old grandpa on the side of the street stringing cotton candy. The sweet aroma drifted over and when Su Qiuge smelled the scent on the tip of her nose, she suddenly felt that the milk tea in her hand wasn’t as appetizing anymore. She ran over with a dadada sound and when she returned, she had an extra stick of cotton candy in her hand. It was as if she was holding a cute and lovely cloud.
When she came back, she didn’t take a bite right away. Instead, she tore off a small piece first and handed it to Xie Xinglin, “Hey Seatmate, I can’t eat so much by myself, help me share this sweet pain.”
She originally didn’t think too deeply about it, but when she saw Xie Xinglin staring at her for a while, as if deep in thoughts about something, she became a little puzzled. She raised the cotton candy and urged him, then watched as he unhurriedly leaned in and directly bit the piece of cotton candy from her hand with his mouth.
The boy’s soft lips seemed to casually brush against Su Qiuge’s fingers and the warm sensation came into contact with her cold fingertips. Her body faintly stiffened and she raised her eyes to look at him, just in time to see him calmly raising his head to look at her. He stared back at her and asked in a low voice, “Strawberry flavor?”
Su Qiuge liked strawberry-flavored things, so even the cotton candy she chose was strawberry flavored.
It was just that for some unknown reason, the strawberry-flavored cotton candy was yellow.
She was a bit unnatural as she withdrew her hand and faintly twirled her fingers behind her back. She lightly nodded.
Xie Xinglin curled his lips a little and said with hidden meaning, “The flavor’s pretty good.”
After walking a short distance, there was a barbecue vendor. Su Qiuge hadn’t really eaten anything that night, so she felt gluttonous and went up to get a few skewers.
But unexpectedly, when she was busy sprinkling cumin onto the skewers, Xie Xinglin paid for her before she had a chance to do so.
Su Qiuge was a little anxious and hurriedly took out her phone. She said, “Boss, boss, scan mine.”
The boss appeared to be from Xinjiang. He glanced back and forth between Su Qiuge and Xie Xinglin, and then said, “Your boyfriend paid for you.”
Su Qiuge：“……”
Su Qiuge responded with a “No.”
Su Qiuge didn’t dare to buy anything else to eat. She feared that someone else would say confusing stuff like “your boyfriend.”
As a result, it was best to just go watch some performances. There were people singing on the street, and some people were even breakdancing. There were also stalls with ring toss games. Su Qiuge originally kept a distance from these types of ring toss games because she wasn’t very good at them, but when she glanced over, she saw a small luminous pendant in one of the stalls.
The shape of that small pendant looks like……
She stopped, quickly finished the skewers in her hand, then found a place to throw the sticks away. Afterward, without saying anything, she went up to the Boss and bought a few rings.
Xie Xinglin attentively watched her when she suddenly stopped, then rushed forward full of expectation and bought ten rings.
She appeared to be very interested, but it just so happened that the first five were all thrown crookedly. However, she didn’t seem to be discouraged and didn’t give up. Instead, she held the rings and earnestly studied the angles. This appearance, it looked more solemn and serious than when doing physics problems at school.
At first, he assumed that Su Qiuge wanted the biggest doll and after thinking about it, he was about to go forward and take over the rest of the rings when he heard Su Qiuge let out a cheer.
His footsteps faintly paused and turned his eyes to the stall. He saw that she had hooked the glowing pendant that was the closest to the front and the easiest one to acquire. When the ring hooked onto it, the originally warm yellow light of the pendant gradually turned golden.
Although it could glow in the dark, resembling a firefly from a distance, and had a simple loveliness to it, it wasn’t difficult to see that this pendant was mass-produced and very crude in quality.
The amount of money she had just spent to buy the rings could probably buy her ten of these types of mass-produced and crude toys.
He saw the way Su Qiuge cheered after hooking it, and then happily jogged over with the small, color-changing pendant clasped in both hands.
He was about to say, “Pei An’an had already stopped playing with that kind of stuff in kindergarten,” but heard Su Qiuge said with a face full of expectation, “Seatmate, this is what I finally managed to get for you after using a lot of effort, do you like it?”
Xie Xinglin couldn’t say out loud the words he wanted to. His eyelashes trembled and he looked down at the glowing pendant.
Su Qiuge didn’t notice his strangeness and continued to say single-mindedly, “Don’t you think that the shape of this pendant looks like a star? When I saw this, I thought of your name. It also looks quite good, I’ll gift it to you.”

The hands beside Xie Xinglin faintly stiffened. There were no other movements.
