The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 28

The moonlight was beautiful that night.

The last quarter moon had curved like a half-bow, hanging in the sky. Bright stars played hide and seek among the clouds, dispelling any sense of loneliness.

The path from the villa area to the commercial street had few pedestrians, and the night market was not a popular destination for those in the villa area due to safety concerns.

Ji Xiao and Wei Qingyu walked side by side in silence. Even the shadows cast on the ground behind them were separated by a considerable distance.

As they walked, Wei Qingyu heard a loud voice in the distance. Her hand, tucked into the pocket of her sweater, clenched involuntarily.

She had never been to a night market and was not interested in eating crayfish. However, when Ji Xiao had invited her with enthusiasm, she had agreed almost on a whim.

After passing a crossroad, the bustling night market came into view with its bright lights and lively atmosphere.

The aroma of skewered snacks filled the air, accompanied by the sizzling sounds of food being cooked on hot plates. The night was infused with the tantalizing scent of barbecue.

"It smells so good; I'm getting hungry just by inhaling it," Ji Xiao muttered softly, glancing at Wei Qingyu beside her.

Wei Qingyu's gaze also lingered on the iron plate squid, her turquoise eyes silently following the movements of the crisply roasted and fragrant squid whiskers.

Observing this, Ji Xiao took the initiative to ask, "Would you like to have some?"

Hearing the question, Wei Qingyu calmly retracted her gaze. "Didn't you mean to eat crayfish?" Her tone remained composed, showing no sign of being tempted by the delectable offerings.

Puzzled, Ji Xiao looked at Wei Qingyu, who continued walking forward, with doubts in her heart. She wondered why Wei Qingyu, who seemed eager to eat just moments ago, now refused.

"Xiao-jie!"

Interrupting Ji Xiao's thoughts, a familiar voice greeted them from a distance.

Ji Xiao looked up and saw Fang Yiming and Qi Qi standing in front of a table with a red background and white lettering on the barbecue square. She waved to them.

Smiling, Ji Xiao approached the two and pointed to Wei Qingyu behind her. "I brought someone else; hope you don't mind."

"Of course, I don't mind," Fang Yiming said, waving Wei Qingyu over to join them. "Let's have the chef prepare it now. The crayfish here is excellent. I guarantee you'll enjoy it tonight."

"Don't worry, we haven't discussed how many servings we'll need yet," Ji Xiao estimated. "For four people, two servings should be sufficient, and some skewers every hour."

"All spicy?" Fang Yiming inquired.

"Yea-"

Before Qi Qi could finish her sentence, Ji Xiao stopped her. "One spicy, one garlic."

"Xiao-jie, did your taste change?" Fang Yiming looked at Ji Xiao with confusion.

Ji Xiao pouted and gave Fang Yiming a nudge. "Just do it if I ask you to. No need for so much nonsense."

Qi Qi, more perceptive than Fang Yiming, quickly caught on. She glanced at Fang Yiming, who still seemed puzzled, and then signaled to Wei Qingyu sitting beside her.

Fang Yiming instantly grasped the situation and said, "Our garlic has a new recipe. You should try it."

With that, she headed inside, and the previously lively space became quiet.
