At this time, there are many people on the snack street.

Wen Qingmo uncomfortably leaned towards Lu Xi and held her hand.

He had been to crowded places before, such as parties and banquets, but he was not used to the lack of personal space and occasional physical contact between people.

He unconsciously sought familiar and dependable people.

Lu Xi held Wen Qingmo's slender fingers and asked, "Big brother, what do you want to eat?"

Wen Qingmo hesitated and looked around. There were various small shops lining the road, brightly lit with a lively atmosphere and enticing smells. Many of them had long queues. He said, "You decide."

He had never eaten here before.

Lu Xi looked around and pulled Wen Qingmo towards a small stall selling octopus balls. She asked the owner, "How much is a small portion?"

"Five yuan."

Lu Xi took out her phone and confidently scanned the QR code.

The stall owner quickly prepared the octopus balls and handed them to them, steaming hot in a box.

Lu Xi took it and exclaimed, "Thank you," but then winced and blinked. "It's hot."

"Let me take it," Wen Qingmo said, taking it carefully from Lu Xi's hand and hesitating, "Should we eat it now?"

"Yes," Lu Xi nodded, finding a less crowded spot to stand. "Otherwise, it's troublesome to hold it all the time."

Wen Qingmo:

"Hmm," Lu Xi chewed slowly, with an expression of no surprise. "I can tell that the octopus inside hasn't fully grown yet. It's so pitiful, like child labor."

When will she be able to eat authentic octopus balls?

Saying that, she used her chopsticks to offer the remaining half to Wen Qingmo's lips. "Big brother, eat it quickly."

Wen Qingmo was taken aback and looked around. Although there were fewer people here, it was still relatively crowded. There were still pedestrians passing by, and of course, there were also couples being affectionate without caring about others.

Lu Xi stared at Wen Qingmo for a while without saying a word. She leaned forward and said, "Come on, big brother, no one is watching. Eat quickly, or I'll feed you with my mouth."

Wen Qingmo's ears turned red instantly. Hearing such words in public made him feel embarrassed. He seemed afraid that Lu Xi would actually feed him with her mouth, so he immediately swallowed the half octopus ball.

Finally successfully feeding Wen Qingmo, Lu Xi felt satisfied. She ate another one herself and then picked up another one and handed it to Wen Qingmo, saying, "Ah."

"Xiao Xi, I can do it myself."

Wen Qingmo tried to reach for a bamboo skewer, but Lu Xi skillfully avoided him. She shook her head firmly and said, "No, I'll feed you."

Wen Qingmo had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the second one, then the third one, and the fourth one.

The sauce from the wooden fish flower got on Wen Qingmo's lip. He licked it with the tip of his tongue, but there was still some residue. Lu Xi took out a tissue and wiped it off for him, teasing, "Big brother, you're so clumsy. You even get food on your face."

The last time Wen Qingmo got sauce on his lip was when they were eating jianbing guozi. At that time, they didn't have any relationship, and Lu Xi could only hand him a tissue.

But now, she could freely do all sorts of things to Wen Qingmo.

Wen Qingmo frowned awkwardly and wiped his lip with the back of his hand, saying, "It was an accident."

For the countless time, Lu Xi found Wen Qingmo adorable. She threw the box into the trash can and then hugged his waist tightly, kissing his neck, saying, "Let's go, let's continue eating something else."

Next, Lu Xi bought shrimp cakes and they finished them, one bite at a time. After finishing the salty ones, they went to buy sweet zenggao.

"Big brother, you really can't handle it," Lu Xi sighed as she looked at Wen Qingmo's rosy lips. "Those shrimp cakes were just a little spicy."

She didn't feel anything while eating them.

Because there was no water, Wen Qingmo could only take small breaths and constantly lick his lips. He heard Lu Xi's mockery and glared at her, saying, "I think it's already spicy enough."

"Come on, have some sweet ones," Lu Xi said as she scooped a spoonful of zenggao and stuffed it into Wen Qingmo's mouth.

Wen Qingmo was no longer as reserved as before. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and ate it, slowly easing the spiciness in his mouth.

"Too sweet."

After a while, Wen Qingmo frowned and commented.

Lu Xi was shocked and pretended to be dissatisfied as she squeezed Wen Qingmo's hand tightly, "Either too spicy or too sweet, you are really difficult to please."

Wen Qingmo coldly snorted, expressionless, "Do you have any objections?"

"No, no," Lu Xi couldn't help but chuckle and leaned in to give Wen Qingmo a kiss, "Whatever our General Wen does is always right."

The two of them strolled around the street for a while. In the end, Lu Xi bought a packaged grass jelly. As they walked out of the snack street towards Wen Qingmo's parked car, Lu Xi suddenly felt a coolness on her cheek. She looked up and saw snowflakes dancing in the dark night sky.

"Wow, it's finally snowing."

Lu Xi's gaze flickered, and she couldn't help but stop in her tracks, standing still and looking up at the sky. Although she had seen snow before, the sight of snowfall heralding the arrival of winter still stirred her emotions.

Wen Qingmo looked at Lu Xi's warm and gentle profile under the lamplight, and a strange but intense emotion surged within him. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, making his heart feel both sour and tender. He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and tightly embrace Lu Xi.

"Xiao Xi."

Lu Xi was not surprised by Wen Qingmo's sudden embrace. She withdrew her gaze and returned the embrace, kissing his slightly cool lips.

"Xiao Xi," in the midst of the kiss, Wen Qingmo couldn't help but murmur, "I really like you."
