“I’m here…” Zuo Weiyi raised her head and looked at her surroundings. This was her first time here, so she didn’t know where she was, so she just said, “I’m on a pedestrian street. ”
Pedestrian street?
Shi Yuting frowned slightly and walked out of the lounge. “There’s no need to come here. I’ll go over.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Upon hearing his words, Zuo Weiyi suddenly stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at her phone that just hung up on her.
She waited a while before the phone rang again.
“Where are you?” The familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone once more.
Zuo Weiyi looked at her surroundings. “I’m at a…”
Her gaze stopped at the signboard of a lingerie shop in front of her. She paused, and an awkward expression appeared on her face.
“A what?”
“Ch-Charmed…”
Shi Yuting held the phone in his hand. When he heard the name she mentioned, he frowned.
Charmed?
It sounded like a bar, nightclub, or something along those lines.
But there didn’t seem to be such a nightclub on this pedestrian street.
“What kind of shop is that?” he asked, a little puzzled.
The corner of Zuo Weiyi mouth twitched. “It’s- it’s a… lingerie shop…”
“…”
Even though she was stuttering, Shi Yuting could still hear her words clearly, and his facial expression stiffened.
He turned a corner, and as expected, he saw the word ‘Charmed’ written on a pink signboard. His gaze followed the signboard down and saw a tall and slender figure standing there.
“I see you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up.
Zuo Weiyi looked up and saw the familiar figure slowly walking towards her.
That tall and perfect figure stood amidst the dancing snowflakes in the sky. It was like a beautiful scene that could not be described with words, causing the corners of one’s mouth to curl up naturally.
He looked at her head full of snowflakes, even her body was already snow-white.
He furrowed his brows and raised his hand to brush the snowflakes off her head. “Don’t you know how to use an umbrella?”
Zuo Weiyi froze for a moment before saying, “I didn’t bring an umbrella.”
“Buy it.”
“…” Could she say that she had forgotten?
Plus, when she raised her head and looked at him, he also had the same head of snowflakes. If she asked him to buy an umbrella, wouldn’t he say the same?
“Come here, quickly!” After brushing away the snow on her head, Shi Yuting pulled her towards the street with stores on either side.
It was already 12:30pm.
Shi Yuting was already hungry.
“What do you want to eat?”
The two of them held hands while strolling along the street. Just the sight of their backs was enough to make the pedestrians envious.
“I’m fine with anything.”
“Don’t you want to eat anything?” Shi Yuting stopped and looked at her seriously.
Ever since they were together, no matter what, she liked to say ‘anything is fine’ or ‘anything you want’. But did she really not have anything she wanted to eat?
That just won’t do for him[1].
Looking at his jade-like black eyes and handsome face carved like jade, Zuo Weiyi lowered her eyes as if she was deep in thought.
She actually had something she wanted to eat, but after her mother passed away, she did not seem to care about the food anymore.
So every time he asked her what she wanted to eat, she didn’t have a preference. She was not [2]picky about food anyway.
She thought for a few seconds, then raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. “I want to big wantons[3]!”
Hearing this, Shi Yuting’s eyebrows knitted together.
[1] The direct translation would have been “He was not awake” but it did not make sense and it is suspected that perhaps the author made a typo and meant to type “他可不行” instead of “他可不醒”
[2] author use “不少” instead of suspected “不是”
[3] I believe this is another typo by the author, where it might have been “馄饨” instead of “混沌” since the Roman spelling of the pinyin is the same but intonation is different
