Chapter 1515 White Moonlight in the Water
Shi Li absentmindedly turned her head to look at the lit lanterns. The exquisite shapes, gorgeous and dazzling, attracted people's attention.
The beauty of Chinese tradition can never be replaced.
But suddenly, he raised his head as if he had telepathy, and met Shen Ze's eyes across the vast crowd.
He seemed to be alone from the crowd, and also like a shining star, standing there shining.
But two people who are destined to be together will never miss each other.
Shi Li took a step forward and saw him coming up. She lowered her head with a smile and said, "What a coincidence. You come to see the lanterns alone?"
"Are you alone too?" Shi Li's eyes flickered, but she tried to act natural.
Shen Ze raised his hand and naturally pulled up the hood of her down jacket to block the wind. "I'm bored alone, do you want to join me?"
"Okay!"
Shi Li raised her head and squinted her eyes and smiled. The light from the lantern shone on her face and passed through her eyes, like a burst of fireworks.
Walking side by side in the bustling crowd, looking at the various lanterns, listening to the noisy voices, Shen Ze raised his hand at the right time to always block the people who might bump into her.
Gentle and appropriate, making people unable to help but be moved.
"There are roasted sweet potatoes. Let me buy one." When they were almost at the end of the long street, they saw a small stall next to it. Shen Ze said something and walked over with his long legs.
Shi Li lagged behind by a step and followed slowly, just in time to hear the conversation between Shen Ze and the old man who was buying sweet potatoes.
“Can you help me break open this sweet potato?”
"Okay." The old man answered impatiently.
"Well, do you have a small spoon?" Shen Ze "pressed forward".
As expected, the old man stuffed the sweet potato into his hand without hesitation, rolled his eyes, and said gruffly, "No, no, don't mess around!"
Shen Ze: ...
Shi Li, who was eavesdropping from behind:
In order to avoid embarrassment, she went over, grabbed Shen Ze's sleeve and dragged him away.
When they were a little further away, she looked at him with amusement, "What are you thinking? How can we eat roasted sweet potatoes with spoons here?"
"I saw online that they said they would take care of tourists this year..." Shen Ze was rarely embarrassed, secretly thinking that short videos on the Internet were harmful.
Shi Li took the yellow roasted sweet potato from his hand and took a small bite carefully. The sweet and warm taste went straight into her heart.
She exhaled, tilted her head and smiled, "That's a privilege for outsiders. This is our home. We don't have to be so particular at home."
Shen Ze also gradually came out of his embarrassment. Looking at Shi Li who was concentrating on eating sweet potatoes with her head down, and occasionally letting out a hissing sound when she was scalded, his eyes and heart were incredibly soft.
The palm seemed to have its own consciousness, and finally couldn't help but gently fall on Shi Li's hat and touch it very lightly.
"What are you doing?" Shi Li looked up in surprise, still biting a sweet potato, and asked vaguely.
Shen Ze quickly let go of his hand and turned his head to look elsewhere, "I see your hat is about to fall off, let me press it down for you."
Shi Li: ...
"There's someone selling sugar paintings over there. You can eat here and I'll go buy some!" In order to prevent Shi Li from continuing to ask questions, Shen Ze ran away.
Looking at his back, Shi Li lowered her head and took a bite of the roasted sweet potato.
"Hmm... this sweet potato is really sweet. I've never eaten such sweet baked sweet potatoes."
After the Lantern Festival, all athletes who had qualified for the World Games returned to the training base. Shi Li also received a notice of promotion to a regular employee and continued to work as a nutritionist at the base.
Feng Hui, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, was particularly enthusiastic towards her. She gave her a bunch of specialties from her hometown and praised her in various ways when they met, which made Shi Li feel a little uncomfortable.
Xu Yang is also a key athlete participating in the World Games this time, but he arrived at the training base three days later than other athletes.
"I heard that he stayed in the hotel with his new girlfriend for three days, and was on the verge of a falling out with his coach." Feng Hui shared it with Shi Li quietly, as if she knew that Shi Li wanted to eat melons.
