As he spoke, he took out his phone and said, "But Yecheng is so big, there can't be fish restaurants everywhere. Let's just go to another place."

"No need." Mo Yixia shook her head and said, "Let's eat here."

"Why?" Han Zhou was stunned. "Don't you dislike eating fish?"

"You just said that fish is one of the local specialties. It's rare to go on a long trip, so it's best not to miss out on this local specialty."

"The fish I mentioned are Yecheng's specialties and can be found everywhere. However, the fish restaurant may have fewer dishes besides fish. I'm afraid you won't have anything to eat."

"It doesn't matter. At worst, I can just eat white rice."

"But……"

Han Zhou wanted to say more when Mo Yixia interrupted him, "It's already nine o'clock in the evening. I don't want to waste time looking for a restaurant. Also, do you have to tell me directly for you to understand? It's been nine hours since lunch time. As a delicate high school girl, I'm hungry and tired. I don't want to move anymore. It's not impossible to change places, but you have to carry me."

She opened her arms towards Han Zhou, took a few steps forward slowly, and added, "Of course, you can also choose to hug me."

A scent of hair entered his nose. Seeing that this guy was almost sticking to him, Han Zhou quickly took a few steps back. He didn't dare to say anything else and walked quickly towards the street full of fish restaurants.

Mo Yixia put her hand down, the contempt in her eyes almost overflowing.

The two finally chose "Han's Fish Restaurant", mainly because the name was more familiar and the owner said he was a relative of Han Zhou.

They asked for a private room, and as expected, the menu was full of different kinds of fish cooked in different ways. Fortunately, Han Zhou did not have the situation of nothing but fish as he had worried about.

Mo Yixia first ordered all the special fish, then ordered half a roast duck and a portion of braised beef, and a plate of vegetables. Neither of them drank alcohol, so they ordered two more bottles of drinks and then handed the menu to the waiter.

Seeing the waiter closing the door and leaving with the menu, Han Zhou said helplessly: "You ordered too many dishes, we can't finish them."

"You eat the fish, and I'll eat the other dishes. At worst, I can just not eat the rice. Can't you finish it?"

"Of course I can't finish it."

Han Zhou sighed and said with a headache, "These fish are all sold by the whole fish, and you don't eat them. How can I finish four fish by myself?"

"Forget it if you can't finish it."

Mo Yixia said unconcernedly, "The meaning of traveling is to experience things that you can't experience normally. It would be a pity not to try the local food. Although it's not good to waste it, it's inevitable sometimes."

Han Zhou didn't say much, he just felt that these fish were so expensive and it would be a pity to waste them. The money spent on such a meal would probably be enough for him to eat for a month.

To this day, he still often subconsciously ignores the fact that Mo Yixia is a rich woman.

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Mo Yixia sighed softly: "If you are worried about money, then don't worry, I am not short of money, and all expenses during this long journey will be paid by me. This is what we agreed on a long time ago, so you can focus on more important things - such as the beautiful girl in front of you."

She slowly took off her mask, her delicate facial features looked sparkling and charming under the light, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a bit of beauty.

If he wasn't wearing a school uniform, I'm afraid no one would think he was a high school student.

She held her chin with one hand and said, "If possible, I hope that this trip to Yecheng will be an unforgettable experience, one that will be engraved in memory, both for you and me."

Han Zhou was slightly stunned, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do you care so much about this?"

He had previously thought that Mo Yixia was simply on a whim and wanted to travel far away to experience new things, but now he realized that this seemed not to be the case and that the other party seemed to take this so-called journey very seriously.

"Yeah, why?"

Mo Yixia thought about it seriously, and then said in a calm tone, "Maybe it's because this is my first time. Isn't this worthy of attention?"

"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. It would be even more worth it if some parts that shouldn't be omitted could be left out..."

Han Zhou agreed with a dry laugh, and suddenly thought of something, and said in surprise, "But you have never been far away before?"

"Of course I have."

"So you said this was your first time traveling far away?"

Mo Yixia gave him a strange look: “When did I say I was going on a long trip?”

Han Zhou: "..."

He shouldn't have asked too many questions.

Mo Yixia pursed her lips and looked up at the small window behind Han Zhou.

This window should be used to ventilate the room. Through the glass, you can just see the bright full moon hanging high in the night sky outside, with silver flakes falling down, and the huge moon disk almost fills the window.

"Just as the rumors say, the moon in Yecheng is indeed rounder." She sighed softly.

Noticing her gaze, Han Zhou looked back and said with a smile: "I don't think there is any difference. Besides, it's Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. Isn't it too early for you to feel sentimental now?"

"It has nothing to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even if it's about the moon on the 14th or 15th, it doesn't make much difference."

Mo Yixia stared at the moon and suddenly said, "Han Zhou, can I ask you a question?"

"go ahead."

"How did you feel when you looked at the moon before? I mean, like now, looking up at the moon through a window, what do you usually think about at this time?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully for a while and replied with a smile, "I think it was when I was a child that I had a lot of thoughts when I saw the moon. I can't remember what I was thinking about at that time, but it was nothing more than strange thoughts like 'Are there mysterious creatures on the moon?', 'Can I fly to the moon one day?', 'Why does the moon get bigger and smaller?'"

Mo Yixia's tone softened a little, and she said softly: "You are also so childish sometimes."

"I've already said that we were kids, so there's nothing strange about being a little childish." Han Zhou said unhappily.

When he was a child, he would often look at the moon and have some messy thoughts, but that was a thing of his previous life.

When he was a child in this life, he would often look at the moon and let his imagination run wild. But of course he was not daydreaming, but rather reminiscing about people and things in the past.

Those were the first few years after he traveled through time. As a visitor from another world, he spent most of his time missing his parents and friends from his previous life. He often wondered how they were doing now, but he gradually let go of it later.

After all, people always have to look forward.

“In fact, I was also quite childish when I was little.”

At this moment, Mo Yixia's voice brought Han Zhou back to his senses, "I also had a lot of unrealistic fantasies at that time, and I did some stupid things. Now that I think about it, this was probably caused by you."

Han Zhou looked helpless: "No matter how powerful I am, I can't go back to your childhood and corrupt you, okay."

Mo Yixia seemed not to hear and continued, "I used to hate looking at the moon from the window, because it always felt like the moon was imprisoned in the window. The closer I got, the more it felt like that. Only when I was far away would it seem a little freer."

Han Zhou was stunned. The girl in front of him had deep eyes, still staring at the moon outside the window. The moonlight was like water. The pale moonlight poured into the window, sprinkled on her calm face, and penetrated into her quiet eyes, as if she was also watching her from afar.

It's not so much about who is looking at whom, but rather that they seem to be looking at each other all the time.

Who is imprisoned behind a small window?

Han Zhou felt a little complicated. He looked back again and said with a wry smile, "Now the moon is almost filling up the window. In your opinion, you have completely lost your freedom and are trapped and can no longer move, right?"

"You, I've already said that's what I thought before."

Mo Yixia sighed and did not continue the topic. Instead, she shifted her gaze from the moon to Han Zhou, picked up the teacup and said, "Speaking of which, you seem to know Yecheng quite well. Have you been here before?"

Han Zhou replied: "I haven't been here, but I have a roommate who is from Yecheng. He told me some things about Yecheng."

The roommate he was referring to was Huo Zhencheng, a native of Yecheng. The specialty he brought to everyone on the first day of school was Yecheng's specialty dried fish. Chen Long and Chen Zheng liked to chat about everything on weekdays, and occasionally talked about each other's hometowns. At such times, Huo Zhencheng would also join in, so Han Zhou got to know Yecheng a little.

But then again, since Lao Huo is in Yecheng, why not take this opportunity to go see him? It seems that his girlfriend is in Yecheng...

"Then you should get along well with your roommate."

Mo Yixia suddenly said, "Tell me about your college life."

Han Zhou was stunned: "Are you interested?"

He always thought that Mo Yixia hated going to school and probably didn't like anything about school.

"Maybe I'm interested sometimes."

"Okay, which part do you want to hear?"

Mo Yixia held her chin with both hands: "All."

"All... then I may not be able to finish talking even if I drool." Han Zhou made a joke.

"I can take care of pouring you tea."

Mo Yixia stood up, picked up the teapot on the table, and filled the cup in front of him with water. "Let's start from the day we separated. I wanted to ask you that day. There seemed to be quite a few people in the car you were riding in. Are they all your friends?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the other party was talking about the time when they said goodbye at the community gate before school started. He was immediately shocked. He knew that this guy had a good memory, but did he have to ask about something that happened so long ago now?

Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Mo Yixia said indifferently: "Why, do you think this tea is not enough to replenish your saliva?"

"Enough is enough."

Han Zhou answered quickly, fearing that the other party would say something like "Then just use my saliva to replenish it" in the next second. He hesitated and said, "By the way, Yixia, I feel like you seem a little different from before."

"Oh?"

Mo Yixia didn't seem to care whether his words were a way of changing the subject, "What's the difference?"

"I can't explain it right now, it's just a feeling..."

"So do you think this is a good change or a bad change?"

"It should be considered good."

Han Zhou did not hide his opinion. He shook his head and laughed, "After all, for a guy like you who can't live without school uniforms, masks and baseball caps all year round, any change should be considered a good thing."

"Is this so..."

Mo Yixia thought about it, "So I can understand that you want to see me without a school uniform, a mask, or a baseball cap?"

Han Zhou's mouth twitched: "No, please don't misinterpret my meaning..."

Although he did have such thoughts...

"It's not like there isn't a situation like what you said."

Mo Yixia stared into Han Zhou's eyes, her tone calm as if she was explaining what to eat tomorrow, "For example, when I just took a shower, how about it, any ideas?"

"I said it's not true. What I meant is that change should be a good thing for you."

Han Zhou looked righteous and took a sip of tea to hide his emotions.

He had indeed always wanted to see what Mo Yixia looked like in clothes other than her school uniform. After all, there had always been a sense of mystery about her, and the process of uncovering the mystery made people yearn for it.

Of course, the main reason was that Mo Yixia would look very beautiful in other clothes, and he really wanted to admire her.

Thinking of this, he quietly glanced at the black backpack on the chair beside him - this was the backpack containing Mo Yixia's spare clothes. If it was any other time, it would be fine, but this time it was a two-day trip after all, this guy would not go out with only a few sets of school uniforms.

So...is it possible that this guy actually brought clothes other than school uniform?

Han Zhou's face was solemn and he took another sip of water. However, his self-proclaimed calmness had actually been noticed by Mo Yixia a long time ago.

"ah……"

The girl deliberately dragged out her tone, with the ending sound rising, and said in a light and contemptuous tone: "Some people say no with their mouths, but their bodies are very honest."
