So It Turns Out You’re a Fox Spirit (GL) - Chapter 13
Huang Chenchen had just finished her interview and was holding a cup of hot chocolate to warm herself up. The outdoor temperature was below zero now, and it was truly not easy for a top ten journalist like her!
Le Xiaoyao, are you crazy tonight! Huang Chenchen watched Le Xiaoyao, completely oblivious to the public, running on the street with an unknown beauty. She really wanted to go up and grab her ear, “Big sister, you’re almost thirty, can you stop being so young and energetic?”
Running all the way to the parking lot and diving into the car, both Le Xiaoyao and Fu Jin’s hearts were pounding fiercely, thumping, thumping, their chests slightly rising and falling… Their faces were also somewhat flushed from the wind. The two looked at each other and smiled~
After all the commotion, Le Xiaoyao’s stomach let out a series of “woo-woo” whimpers! She realized she hadn’t eaten dinner and was now starving. “Let’s go eat something… I’m hungry~”
Fu Jin hadn’t eaten either, “Sure… but is it appropriate to drive away Eric’s car?”
“He’s a grown man, the cold won’t kill him, and hunger won’t kill him.”
Fu Jin didn’t say anything, indicating tacit approval.
It wasn’t far from A University, and the two unanimously decided to wander over there. There were many good places to eat near the university campus. Speaking of food, besides the sugar-roasted chestnuts, there was also a “King’s Skewers” place, and the flavor was excellent!
Skewers! Suddenly she really craved skewers! It was all because of Big Sister Huang. But looking at how Fu Jin was dressed, no, even if she wasn’t dressed like this, she probably wouldn’t be willing to go to a street food stall, right? Le Xiaoyao tentatively asked, “Fu Jin, what do you want to eat?”
“You are more familiar with this area, you decide!”
“I know a place ahead that’s especially delicious, especially, especially delicious, really very delicious… a street food stall…” Le Xiaoyao’s voice got softer and softer, to the point where she couldn’t even hear herself at the end! Fu Jin only heard her emphasizing how delicious and especially delicious it was, and seeing her eager look, she said, “If you say it’s delicious, then let’s go!”
This is the legendary scheming queen…
Although Fu Jin had nodded in agreement, Le Xiaoyao was still a little nervous. King’s Skewers was located in a small alley where cars couldn’t drive in. Le Xiaoyao temporarily parked the car on the side of the road…
Fu Jin got out of the car, and Le Xiaoyao quickly urged her to put on her down jacket. This woman, really, didn’t she say before that she didn’t like attending those events? If she didn’t like them, why dress like this, exposing her legs and… cleavage…
“Wait a minute!” Le Xiaoyao took off the scarf around her neck and thoughtfully wrapped it around Fu Jin circle after circle, completely and securely covering her large expanse of exposed skin, “Will this be better…”
Better, better, at least cover some…
“Mhm, it’s very warm.”
Of course, it was warm, it still had her body temperature on it! Le Xiaoyao pointed to the alley across the road, “It’s right over there. I often went to eat there when I was in university. Before I knew it, I got old…”
“How old are you that you’re old?” Fu Jin’s tone carried a smile.
“As old as you.”
Under the orange-yellow lights, all kinds of small snacks were steaming hot. They had an unassuming appearance but offered the most authentic taste of W City. This kind of night market was rarely seen in W City now. It was a little past nine in the evening, neither dinner time nor late-night snack time, so there were relatively few people, but there were still many students hanging around outside.
“Is this the place?” Fu Jin was indeed startled by these street food stalls. She had studied at A University for four years but had never been here before. She had never eaten roadside food.
Seeing her hesitate, Le Xiaoyao said, “Delicious food is always found in the streets and alleys… If you don’t like it, let’s go somewhere else!”
“No need, trying it out is good too.”
Professor Fu’s temper today was simply outrageously good. Le Xiaoyao recalled the misery of being shut out the last time she drove her home. The attitude difference between then and now was like heaven and earth. Maybe, last time, she had her period!
“You don’t have to accommodate me.”
“I want to accommodate you today.”
Le Xiaoyao genuinely felt a tingling sensation all over her body when she heard this sentence, no exaggeration, it was like a small low-voltage current running through her body. She looked into Fu Jin’s eyes, which were gentle as water. She told herself, Le Xiaoyao, you’re overthinking it again!
I’m concerned about you, and I’m saying this because I see you’re not in a good mood. Why are you looking at me with such eyes?! Fu Jin also stared into Le Xiaoyao’s eyes, without the slightest evasion…
Beep! Beep!
A beam of light shot over, so dazzling! Le Xiaoyao shielded her eyes with her hand. A BMW car was honking its horn at the two of them. A round, bald head poked out of the car window, like an oversized light bulb, “Standing in the middle of the road, are you tired of living!”
Le Xiaoyao wanted to go up and argue with the nouveau riche, but Fu Jin pulled her back, “Let’s go…”
The two walked very slowly, as if they were back in their university days, but after all, they couldn’t go back… For example, Le Xiaoyao and Fu Jin couldn’t hold hands like the two girls in front of them, taking a bite each, and biting into the same chicken wing stuffed with rice without any restraint on the street…
“Being young is great.” Le Xiaoyao subconsciously moved closer to Fu Jin, trying to be subtle.
“Mhm.”
One grilled fish, thirty skewers, two bottles of beer…
When Fu Jin saw Le Xiaoyao about to pour beer, she was greatly alarmed, “You’d better not drink, last time you…” She stopped halfway through, swallowing the rest. Her expression became distracted. She thought of Le Xiaoyao affectionately calling her name when she was drunk, and how Le Xiaoyao was as obedient as a puppy when she was held pressed against the wall…
“Beer is fine, don’t worry. Last time… what happened to me last time?” Le Xiaoyao really wanted to know what she had done that night, but Fu Jin stopped talking halfway, and this matter had become a lump in her heart, which was quite uncomfortable. She decided to ask directly: “Did I curse at you?”
Curse? Le Xiaoyao’s words instantly pulled Fu Jin back to reality. Oh, so she was cursing at me in her heart!
Le Xiaoyao raised the wine glass to her lips, but Fu Jin stopped her. “No drinking.”
“Just one cup.”
“No!”
“One cup!”
Le Xiaoyao simply put down the glass, divided the skewers in front of them into two equal portions, and smiled at Fu Jin, “Let’s play a game! Let’s see who can eat faster. If I win, you have to tell me what I did to you that night!”
This sentence was simply too ambiguous. Le Xiaoyao and Fu Jin were focused on their challenge and naturally didn’t notice the profound looks the other customers at the street food stall were giving them…
She actually wants to compete with me in eating skewers! Isn’t this clearly taking advantage of me! However, Fu Jin was not the compromising type, so she immediately accepted the challenge and asked Le Xiaoyao with considerable confidence, “What if I win?”
“Up~ to~ your~ dis~po~sal.” Le Xiaoyao said each word clearly, which was quite evocative~
The seated diners were startled again. On the surface, they were all seriously eating their skewers, but in reality, every one of them was straining their ears to listen to the conversation between these two beauties. It was truly bizarre, but it looked like there was a good show to watch…
Seeing Fu Jin’s determined look, Le Xiaoyao wondered if she was the one with hidden skills, the legendary skewer expert? She didn’t look like it though? But, no matter what, she would get to see the spectacle of the Goddess Fu eating meat heartily. Thinking about it, she felt quite excited…
