Chapter 189 - Night Market I (2/2)
Jiang Ruolan had not been around the night market for a long time, so she was in high spirits. Although the weather was not so hot, the winter in H City was rarely snowy. In this kind of night market, it was crowded, and her nose was filled with the smell of sweat, smoke, and fragrant baked snacks.
Jiang Ruolan hurriedly tried to squeeze through the crowd, but due to overcrowding, her grip on Xian Zihao's arm slipped.
She turned her head, only to be pushed forward a dozen steps. When she looked into the crowd, Xian Zihao was already nowhere to be seen.
She was just about to walk back when she felt a push. Jiang Ruolan immediately tried to grab something to steady herself, but her high heels made her stumble, and she fell backward.
Oh no! There was an 80% chance that she would be trampled to death if she fell down in a place liked this!
Out of a sudden, a hand immediately grabbed her wrist. Jiang Ruolan quickly steadied herself with that hand. Xian Zihao walked through the crowd to support her. She asked, ”Where did you run off to?”
Xian Zihao supported her, his voice still cold. ”Are you sure you can buy what you want in a place like this?”
Jiang Ruolan paused and looked back at the crowd. She said uncertainly, ”There should be. Usually, there are a lot of new things in the night market. The gift shop's owner said we can find them by the middle of the street.”
After saying that, Jiang Ruolan continued moving forwards when she suddenly felt the grip on her waist tighten. Xian Zihao embraced her and hugged her to his chest. The originally clean and ironed clothes were wrinkled due to the crowded crowd.
Jiang Ruolan remembered that Xian Zihao had always been unusually clean, but now he could only frown and hold onto her tightly while both of them walked all the way to Night Market Street.
Her heart warmed, and the familiar feeling of being cared for welled up once again. She was firmly locked in the crook of his arm, her face pressed against his chest, and she could feel that familiar cold breath that belonged solely to him.
Jiang Ruolan's heart was currently moved, and she also wondered if Xian Zihao had calmed down or not.
”Zihao, how about we go have some barbecue?” She raised her face towards him.
Xian Zihao ignored her.
In the end, the two of them had already almost reached the middle of the street.
Jiang Ruolan's heart sank as she looked at him helplessly. For some inexplicable reason, she felt an intense pain in her heart. She didn't like this feeling …
A feeling of not knowing what to do.
His expression was the same as usual, indifferent, and distant. His eyes did not show much emotion.
'Does he love you?'
Qin Gengxin's words echoed in her ears.
Jiang Ruolan stared at him. Suddenly, she heard his phone ring. However, she didn't know whether it was because the crowd was too noisy or because he didn't want to answer it.
”Aren't you going to pick out a present for Guiying?” Seeing that she didn't move, he forced himself to remind her.
Jiang Ruolan seemed to have recovered her wits. She turned around and walked towards a nearby stall.
Xian Zihao's face kept flashing before her eyes.
Cold, serious, distant, indifferent, smiling, serious, gentle, heartbroken, worried, calm, raised eyebrows... Since when did his appearance become so clear in her mind?
