EGG TARTS AND LIQUOR

After whispering playfully to Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian removed his arm from Lan Wangji's shoulders then he took a step then turned his frame to face Lan Wangji fully, with a huge grin plastered on his face suddenly, he grabbed one of Lan Wangji's hand then he said to him.

"Come on Lan Zhan! Let's stroll together at the stalls." He urged him. Then he turned around with Lan Wangji in tow.

But Lan Wangji remained rooted on his place. Wei Wuxian who is already looking at the stall snapped his head to look from behind because the person he was pulling didn't move an inch. His eyes met the flustered look of Lan Wangji, his pale ears turned red but Wei Wuxian was more astonished to see his usual expression didn't change, Lan Wangji's face contorted into a frown and he pursed his lips.

Seeing the red face Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian didn't know whether he will laugh out loud because of his cute expression or feel sorry for him.

Wei Wuxian dropped Lan Wangji's hand as he studied him.

"Lan Zhan! Are you alright? Are you cold?" Wei Wuxian asked worriedly while looking at him.

Lan Wangji shook his slowly head then said, "I'm fine."

Wei Wuxian is so dense to realize that his bold-but-innocent action earlier made Lan Wangji frozen in his place. Wei Wuxian only thought that the redness of his cheeks and ears were the result of the cold weather of this small village. He chuckled,

"Come along now." Wei Wuxian said while he grabbed Lan Wangji's hand once again. Before Lan Wangji could protest, he was already pulled by Wei Wuxian with a slight force; he shuffled on his feet as he followed him. The two of them sauntered towards the stalls.

"Souvenirs Sir, I'm selling this for lowest prize!"

"T-shirts! T-shirts! Souvenir T-shirts for sale!"

"Egg Tarts, red bean buns and sticky rice young Misters!"

Wei Wuxian looks at the scrumptious Egg Tarts which are displayed on the small stall with different colours. He felt that his stomach automatically churned at the sight of it. The vendor who is selling on sweet delicacies is already a middle-aged woman, the wrinkles are evident on her face tired face the moment she caught the sight of the two, she welcomed the two young men in front of her with a huge smile. Wei Wuxian couldn't help but walk towards the stall while still holding Lan Wangji's hand.

He greeted the woman with a smile, "How much for the two dozen of Egg Tarts?" Wei Wuxian confidently asked as he approached the stall.

As they looked closely, the vibrant colours of egg tarts, buns and mooncakes are green, purple, pink, yellow met their eyes. A white smoke flowed out from the stall as the woman fanned the hot pot which contains the freshly cooked sticky rice, a familiar sweet aroma floated in the air. The woman sliced the sweet mango skilfully and she designed it on top of the sticky rice, the food was placed on a traditional food wrapper. As Wei Wuxian stared at the intricate design of mooncakes displayed before him, he whacked his brain to remember something until he realized that the Mooncake Festival is already approaching in two days. Now he understands why the locals are already preparing some stuff for the festival, like decorating red lanterns and hung them on the stalls and at the side of the streets.

"It's fifty dollars for two dozen of Egg Tarts young lad." The vendor replied.

Wei Wuxian smiled at the vendor while nodding to her as an acknowledgement, and then he gaze up to Lan Wangji with a huge grin on his face, before he starts fiddling over his pockets.
