2934 The Dissolution Of Their Discipleship 2 (1/2)
He knew that Gu Xijiu fancied the food from the restaurant in the Tianhe Village. Although she no longer needed food to survive, her love for food prevailed. It seemed that her keen interest in food would not wither away, just like her inability to love. Not a bit had changed, even after decades.
…
Gu Xijiu spent another day indulging in various types of food in the Human World. She had tried everything - all the delicious food, the unpalatable, and even the weird and exotic food.
The amount of food she consumed had exceeded her stomach's typical capacity, so she decided to take a stroll along the streets to ease the discomfort of her bulging belly.
As she went around observing the place, she realized that the Human World was thriving, and the streets were crowded with both locals and visitors.
The paper lamps on both sides of the street swayed gently in the wind, scattering their dazzle and wonder across the entire place. The well-lit place could certainly capture anyone's attention to the point where it shadowed the brilliance of the full moon.
Gu Xijiu was unaware of the date until she noticed the number of couples passing by. It was already the middle of the month, indicating that the Lunar Festival was upon them.
On this occasion, everyone would generally be in pairs, and the men would pamper their female companions with gifts and laughter.
”Huan, I want that piece of candy shaped as a man!” The demand came from a lady with ragged clothes.
Her companion, dressed in equally tattered clothing, hesitantly agreed, ”All right.” With gritted teeth, he paid three cents to buy the candy for her.
The lady took another look around the booth and decided to pick out another piece of candy. ”Here, have one for yourself.”
The man was obviously reluctant. ”I… I do not want one. I don't have a sweet tooth.”
”These two sticks of sugar are supposed to come in a pair. We should take both of them so that we can be just as sweet. Here, let's take it! Let's take it!” The lady insisted.
The man finally gave in and bought another one so that both of them could leave with a piece of candy each.
”Huan, is it sweet?”
”Sweet indeed.”
”We shall be just as sweet as them!”
”Sure!”
