366 The Glorious Years 9 (1/2)

On the way back, Su Zhinian still said nothing.

However, perhaps he was too eye-grabbing, when they passed the half-closed barbeque stall, the middle-aged woman glanced several times at Su Zhinian. The song 'Love Rumored to Have Come Back' was still playing.

”The kind of hurt of wanting to meet you, but also fear of meeting you, makes my long for you even more;

”I can only keep you in my heart;

”Only keep you in my heart.”

When they turned back into the first alleyway, the song became much quieter.

”Your voice, your silhouette, your hand, I swear I never once forgot;

”As to you choosing your present lover, I can only say I'm a little sad;

”I really put my heart and soul into waiting.”

When the song completely disappeared, Song Qingchun managed to catch a glimpse of Su Zhinian's car from inside the alleyway.

After they exited the alleyway, Su Zhinian pulled out the car key. As he prepared to open the car, he saw an old man pushing a cart in front of them. The old man was probably going home from the nearby night market that was closing. There were two sticks of pink-colored cotton candy poking out from the cart.

Su Zhinian called after the man without hesitation. ”Sir, how much for the cotton candy?”

The gentleman stopped and told Su Zhinian the price. ”One for 10 RMB.”

Su Zhinian reached into his pocket habitually and realized he had forgotten to take his wallet in his hurry to leave. He climbed into his car to scrounge up all the coins he could find, and after a brief calculation, they added up to 20 RMB. He bought the two cotton candy sticks and passed them to Song Qingchun, who was shivering by the roadside.
