They held hands and wandered aimlessly for a long time as the sky gradually grew dark.
The corners of Gu Muxue's lips curled up. She had completely forgotten about the "ten minutes."
Although the streets were still bright, looking up at the darkening sky made her feel much more at ease.
She felt a secret delight, a thrill of excitement, and a tinge of worry that someone she knew might recognize her.
The air was filled with the aroma of street food.
Fried skewers, grilled sausage, stinky tofu...
Xue Rui stopped walking. "Muxue, want some?"
Gu Muxue frowned. She never ate this kind of food; her family didn't allow it.
Besides, she thought it was unsanitary.
"Didn't we just eat?" Gu Muxue asked.
"How can you compare snacks to a proper meal?"
Xue Rui thought, 'Gu Muxue really doesn't know how to enjoy life. This is the kind of thing you're supposed to eat at night.'
'You have to eat some once in a while, get a taste of the real world.'
