Zhongshan Road Night Market Street gathers all kinds of delicacies: barbecue, fried snails, desserts, stinky tofu, etc., every night, this street is crowded with people, it seems very crowded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ming Cheng and Ling Xue got out of the car and came to the entrance of the street...

"My dear Xue'er, the whole street here is filled with the smoky smell of barbecue, aren't you afraid of stinking your beautiful hair?" Ming Cheng cupped the end of Ling Xue's hair and sniffed it lightly in front of his nose.

"Go cool, who is your dear, and also, when did I become your Xue'er, I was so affectionate," he said, and pulled the end of his hair back from Narutokoto's hand.

Ming Cheng smiled: "Just now...".

“？？？”。

"Have you ever heard a legend about a late-night snack?".

"What kind of legend" Ling Xue began to walk forward slowly.

Ming Cheng followed, "If a man asks a woman to have supper together, if she agrees, it will be a show, if she doesn't agree, then she is just an ordinary friend."

"Yes, I really don't know, then I'll go back first," Ling Xue turned around and pretended to leave.

Ming Cheng gently grabbed Ling Xue's right hand, "Don't, it's really (づ ̄3 ̄)づ."

Ling Xue raised her left hand and covered her mouth, smiling, "Okay, I'm teasing you, look at how nervous you are... Don't let go yet."

"Yes, yes, yes, really, I'm nervous, I just want to touch your hand... Huh"

"Die, stop kidding, I'm really going back if I don't look for something to eat."

"Well... Got it".

The two talked and laughed along the way, and the most surprising thing was that Ling Xue was a foodie, and she had eaten almost every snack, how did she maintain her figure?

...

Fuman Pavilion, a barbecue restaurant, Ling Xue walked in with Ming Cheng, came to the position by the window and sat down. After a while, a waiter came over with a tea set to entertain them.

"Hello two handsome guys and beauties, what do you want to eat?" the waiter put the menu in front of Ling Xue, and then took out a pen and paper from the large pocket in the apron.

"Lewdness, you want to eat something, order it".

"Hmph, you're obscene" Ming Cheng jokingly retorted, "You brought me here, besides, I invited you out to eat, you can have it, anyway, I will eat whatever you order, I'm not a picky eater."

"Okay, then I'll do it" Ling Xue picked up the menu, "Hmm... I want a grilled fish, leeks in one hand, fat beef in the other, two skewers of big squid, and a stream of seafood porridge, okay, that's all, is it enough to eat, do you want something else?" Ling Xue raised her head and looked at Ming Cheng.

"I said I'm casual, if you don't think it's enough, just keep ordering, anyway, I'm not going to eat enough" Ming Cheng replied proudly, because the things on Zhongshan Road are very cheap, and no matter how much you eat, you can't eat much.

Ling Xue returned the menu to the waiter, "Okay, place an order, that's it for now, it's not enough for us to order."

"Okay, please wait, I'll serve you the food," the waiter left.

Ming Cheng glanced at Ling Xue, "I have a question for you, do you usually eat so much, and how do you maintain such a slender figure."

Ling Xue pinched Ming Cheng's nose with her hand, "Occasionally, who dares to eat like this every day, if you really eat like this, it's hard not to get fat."

"Oh, really, it's annoying, just talk, and use your hands to take advantage of others," Ming Cheng said in a weird way.

"Yo, it's okay for you! When you held my hand just now, my sister didn't say that you took advantage of my sister, but now you talk about me."

"Sister, I was wrong, please forgive" Ming Cheng immediately replied.

"It's pretty much the same, it's cheap and good" Ling Xue stuck out her tongue at Ming Cheng, "Okay, let's say, what do you want to know"

Ming Cheng raised his head and looked at Ling Xue, "Hmm, I didn't understand the meaning of the latter sentence."

Ling Xue reached out and took the encapsulated tableware on the table, "Didn't you say that you invited me out to eat to learn about some things in the company?"

"Oh... That's just a means to make an appointment with you" Ming Cheng also reached out and brought the tableware in front of him, "I don't want to know anything about the company, I just need to do my job"

"I knew...".

"You know, then I tricked you into eating with me, aren't you angry?".

"No, because I knew from the beginning that you made it up to ask me out for dinner" Ling Xue smiled, she really wasn't angry at all.

"Since you knew I was fooling you from the beginning, why did you agree to go out to dinner with me?"

"Because it's the first time I've seen someone with such thick skin, obviously they've already rejected you, and you're still wrapped around your face, it's so funny, it's hard not to accept it...".

"Well, then I should be honored for this?" Hearing Ling Xue say this, Ming Cheng really felt very happy in his heart.

"That's a must, Miss Ben can't be made by anyone, you are the first in your life, you have to know how to cherish it."

"yes, then I will definitely remember this date forever," Ming Cheng smiled.

Ling Xue picked up the chopsticks and pretended to be going to mingcheng, "Who told you that this is a date??"

"Sorry to excuse me, but this is the grilled fish and porridge you ordered," the waiter put them on the table, "please use them slowly".

Ming Cheng stood up and stretched out his hand in front of Ling Xue to "bring it".

"What?" Ling Xue looked up at Ming Cheng.

"Bowl, help you serve porridge."

Ling Xue picked up the bowl and handed it to Ming Cheng, "Yo, it's quite considerate."

Finally, I started eating, and other dishes came over one after another. The two chatted while eating, talking and laughing. It didn't take long for the dishes on the table to be swept away, and I have to say that Ling Xue was really able to eat, most of them were eaten by herself.

Ming Cheng took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Ling Xue, "Are you full?"

"Oh full, what about you".

"Watching you gobble up, I don't have to eat to be full."

Ling Xue lowered her head embarrassedly and gently wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Nonsense, how can my eating appearance be so exaggerated."

"No, just kidding, I didn't eat much."

"No wonder you're so skinny, like a monkey".

"Who said I just looked skinny. Okay, when you're full, you'll pay the bill, let's go out for a walk, take a slow walk and digest it," Ming Cheng softened his stomach.

"Well, let's pay for it"

After leaving the restaurant, Ming Cheng and Ling Xue strolled through the crowded night market. After walking for a while, Ling Xue stopped beside a jewelry stall, she reached out and picked up a silver bracelet on the display case, and looked at it intently, her eyes showing an indescribable emotion from time to time.

"No, since she likes this kind of stall?" At first, Ming Cheng thought so in his heart, but after noticing Ling Xue's expression, he changed his mind, "No, Ling Xue's eyes looking at the bracelet are not out of liking but sadness, just like at noon, she has something on her mind" (because of the special work relationship in the past, Ming Cheng knows some psychology and posture linguistics)

Ming Cheng walked up to Ling Xue, "Do you like it?"

“what~is~the~meaning~of~life?~to~live~is~the~meaning~of~life.” Ling Xue whispered.

Ming Cheng glanced at the bracelet, took out a cigarette and lit it and took a puff, it turned out that Ling Xue had just read a string of English engraved on the side of the bracelet, "If I remember correctly, the meaning of this sentence should be: What is the meaning of life?

"Yes, that's right, it turns out that you can also speak English" After hearing Ming Cheng translate the meaning of this sentence, Ling Xue instantly returned to her lively and cheerful appearance, and the sad expression on her face disappeared without a trace.

"Do you have something on your mind?".

Ling Xue smiled and shook her head, "No, I seem to be someone who has something on my mind?"

Naruto didn't speak again.

"Okay, just take a look, let's go!" Ling Xue said and began to walk forward again. "Hurry up, what's the fuss?"

"Here, you go slowly, really" Ming Cheng followed.

Ling Xue must have something on her mind, the meaning of life, what did this sentence make her think of, what happened behind this sadness... Forget it, I don't want to, she doesn't want to talk to me now, I don't need to think about it, and there is no need to ask, when she wants to tell me, I will listen to her slowly. It's late at night... For Ming Cheng, tonight's time passed very quickly, it was already 11 o'clock, and the two left the night market.

"Where do you live," Ming Cheng asked, looking at Ling Xue.

"Osaka Community".

"Then I'll send you back first."

Ling Xue said politely, "No need, I'll just go back by myself, it's late, you can go back early to rest, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"I'm a night owl, I won't go to bed so early, I have nothing to do when I go back anyway, I'll send you back first, it's a rare date, you just let me behave well."

"Well, since you've said so, I'll give you a chance to perform."

With that, Ming Cheng walked to the side of the street and stopped the taxi.

Along the way, the carriage seemed very quiet, and the two people did not speak, each looking at the scenery along the way outside their windows.

"Do you live alone?" said Naruto.

Ling Xue looked back at Ming Cheng, "yes, what's wrong."

"It's nothing, just ask."

"Poof~" Ling Xue suddenly covered her mouth with her fingers and said with a smile: "Are you thinking about staying at my house tonight, how bad are you..."

"I want to think about it, but it's not realistic" Ming Cheng didn't look back, or continued to look at the scenery outside the window, in fact, Ming Cheng really asked casually, because it was too quiet, and he felt embarrassed, so he asked casually.

"Don't say it so absolutely, maybe one day you'll actually spend the night at my house..."

Ming Cheng wondered for a moment if he had heard it wrong, and turned his head to look at Ling Xue, "Yes, then I'm really looking forward to it."

It didn't take long for the car to stop at the gate of the Osaka community, and Ling Xue opened the door and got out of the car.

Ming Cheng rolled down the glass of the car window and said goodbye to Ling Xue, "Okay, go back to wash and sleep early."

"Well, you should go back and rest early" After speaking, Ling Xue walked into the community.

"Okay, let's go, master, go to Minyi Mansion."

"That's your girlfriend?" asked the driver suddenly.

Ming Cheng looked forward at the driver and sneered, "It's beautiful, but she's not my girlfriend."

"Oh~ That's it, but you should like her a lot, right, you can definitely catch it with a little effort, come on!

"Hehe... Okay, thank you" After saying that, the car became quiet again.

In the dead of night, it was already more than 12 o'clock in the morning, looking at the brightly lit streets, Ming Cheng thought: Is this kind of life really suitable for me now? I just listened to the driver's words, so I have to admit that I do have feelings for Ling Xue, and maybe even really like her... But then again, I know that I am a sinful person, and I really deserve to be happy, and I am really entitled to love or be loved? I have always thought that being lonely and old is the end of my sinful life.
