Li Ji's contentment didn't last long.
Hua Manman spotted a small stall on the side of the road selling candy figures and ran over to buy the largest one they had.
She held the candy figure aloft in one hand and the flower lantern in the other.
Both of her hands were occupied, so she couldn't keep holding hands with Li Ji.
Li Ji watched her expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Hua Manman thought he was craving a bite and offered him the candy figure she had already eaten a small part of.
"Would you like a taste?"
Li Ji stared at the bite mark on the candy figure. A moment later, he opened his mouth and took a bite from the exact same spot.
The candy was very sweet, slightly soothing his dissatisfaction.
When Hua Manman saw his expression soften, she was even more certain that he just had a sweet tooth. She asked considerately.
"How about I buy you one, too?"
Li Ji told her there was no need.
Hua Manman didn't press the issue and went back to eating her candy.
