Yin Shaojie clenched his jaw and pressed his lips into a straight line.
After a while, he finally said, “I can do it…”
…
At Nanxiang Old Town.
Mo Xiaomeng ran out in a huff. Looking back a few times, she didn’t see Ye Sijue chasing after her, and she grew even angrier.
She wasn’t even walking very fast, and his legs were longer than hers. How could he not catch up to her?
It showed that he didn’t want to get her.
Mo Xiaomeng felt a tense, aching pain in her chest as if someone had thrown several punches at her chest.
She had never felt this way before, so much that her eyes were feeling sore.
When it rained, it poured. Her stomach was rumbling again. She was so hungry and tired of walking. She looked around to see if there was anything to eat.
Because Nanxiang Old Town was holding the Water Lantern Festival, it was tourist season. Tourists were everywhere with many walking through the various shops.
Mo Xiaomeng was reminded about the noodles that Ye Sijue took her to eat yesterday. It was particularly tasty. They were supposed to join a long queue for the food, but somehow, Ye Sijue did something, and they are without queuing.
Suddenly, she felt a great craving for the noodles. But at the thought of Ye Sijue, she became irritated again and didn’t want to eat anymore.
Rubbing her belly, she decided that she should still fill up her tummy first.
It was very crowded. Mo Xiaomeng was afraid of being bumped into, so she walked along the sides.
Just when she turned, she saw Ye Sijue running out of the inn, looking anxious to find her.
The corner of her mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.
But she stubbornly refused to call out to him as she wanted him to continue looking for her.
She wanted to see if he could find her among this sea of people.
She was feeling happier at the thought of her plan. Afraid that he would see her, she bent down and went into a small alley.
“Miss, do you want to eat nian gao? These are our hand-made nian gao. They are really good. It is a Nanxiang Old Town specialty snack. You must try this if you’re here to visit,” the old lady, full of wrinkles on her face, smiled and said to her.
Staring at the white, sticky nian gao, Mo Xiaomeng licked her lower lip and said, “Alright, I’ll buy. Give me… two!”
The old lady enthusiastically packed two pieces for her. After receiving the money, she was still full of praises about how many good her nian gao tasted.
Mo Xiaomeng took a bite. It was sweet but not too sweet. She liked it.
She smiled and said, “Yeah! It’s really good. Thank you, Ma’am.”
Afraid that Ye Sijue would find her there, she quickly said goodbye to the old lady and headed for the crowded area.
Along the way, Mo Xiaomeng had quite a few snacks and finally satiated herself.
Actually, she was pretty happy being alone.
Though that was what Mo Xiaomeng said to herself, but she still couldn’t stop herself from thinking about Ye Sijue. Where was he looking for her now, or had he already given up looking for her?
But thinking about how well Ye Sijue had treated her in China, she didn’t think he would do that.
How could he not be looking for her when she ran out like that?
As she kept walking and saw couples walking together, Mo Xiaomeng suddenly felt lonely, and thoughts of Ye Sijue began to fill her head.
Where was he now…
Mo Xiaomeng took out the cell phone that had been vibrating, looked at the name on the screen, and she refused the call.
Then, she saw that Ye Sijue had made a total of 67 calls to her.
She already missed him and upon seeing his name, she missed him even more.
Yin Shaojie clenched his jaw and pressed his lips into a straight line.
After a while, he finally said, “I can do it…”
