By the time they reached the street, it was already close to nine o’clock.

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, "Hungry."

Huo Jinnan looked down at Qin Huan, "Back to the hotel?"

Qin Huan quickly understood his insinuation, and glared at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan had been holding Qin Huan’s hand, while his other hand was tucked in his shorts pocket, "Not wanting to eat me?"

Qin Huan, "You’re not Tang Monk meat."

Huo Jinnan looked at Qin lovingly, "If you eat me, you’ll really achieve immortality. Want to take a bite?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Qin Huan shook her head and led Huo Jinnan towards the lake they once visited.

In the past, it was sparsely populated there. Nowadays, high-rises stood tall.

After about half an hour, they arrived by the bridge, where there were many small stalls, including barbecue.

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, "Do you mind? If not, let’s eat skewers together."

Huo Jinnan walked over, grabbed a stool, and sat down.

Qin Huan smiled and sat next to him.

Soon someone came over to take their orders.

Qin Huan looked at Huo Jinnan, "Should I get you some grilled kidneys?"

Huo Jinnan looked at Qin Huan, "It’s your third brother’s specialty; I don’t like it or need it."

Qin Huan turned to the waiter and ordered lamb skewers, horsehead fish, grilled eggplant, then looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan glanced over and added a few more items. When the waiter asked what to drink, he looked towards Qin Huan, smiled slightly, "Homemade draft beer."

Upon hearing beer, Qin Huan thought of the last time she got drunk, her face flushed.

Huo Jinnan sat there, watching Qin Huan.

Qin Huan glared, "Give me back my phone."

Huo Jinnan handed her phone over.

Qin Huan took the phone, posted a Weibo update, and looked up at Huo Jinnan, seeing him still watching her, she smiled, "Never seen a beauty before?"

"Hmm, indeed."

Huo Jinnan casually replied, watched as the draft beer arrived, poured some, rinsed the two glasses, and filled them again.

Qin Huan raised her glass, gently clinked it with Huo Jinnan’s, took a sip, tasting the aroma of grain.

Huo Jinnan, "Not bad."

Qin Huan nodded.

...

After eating, Qin Huan was a bit tipsy but not completely drunk, being held by Huo Jinnan while taking a walk by the lake.

The warm breeze brushed against them, making one feel drunk.

Huo Jinnan looked down at Qin Huan, "If I had found you then, would you have run away?"

She looked up, meeting his deep eyes, though she wasn’t entirely drunk yet, Qin Huan gradually became thoroughly intoxicated, "No."

Huo Jinnan raised his hand to caress her cheek, "Good girl."

Qin Huan leaned into Huo Jinnan’s embrace.

In a daze, she realized this was the city where they first met.

Huo Jinnan kissed her ear, "Shall we go back?"

...

When she woke up the next day, Huo Jinnan was already sitting on the nearby sofa working.

Qin Huan went to the bathroom, cleaned up, and glanced in Huo Jinnan’s direction.

Huo Jinnan didn’t even look up, "Come here."

Qin Huan walked over to Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan, "Breakfast, on the side, eat it."

Qin Huan nodded, finished her breakfast, tidied up, and threw the disposable utensils and boxes into the nearby trash can.

Huo Jinnan, "Come here."

Qin Huan walked over and looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan, "Sit on my lap."

Qin Huan sat on Huo Jinnan’s lap, then saw a bunch of data she didn’t understand.

Huo Jinnan embraced Qin Huan, his slender fingers lightly tapping the keyboard, "Help me call Yu Zimu, and put it on speaker."

Qin Huan nodded, dialed Yu Zimu’s number.
