Wherever there were crowds, there were street vendors. In the open spaces of the park, quite a few vendors had set up their stalls, with colorful tents lined up one after another.
Sweet aromas drifted from the roasted sweet potato stall. The sweet potatoes had been roasted until their skins were charred black, and steam was still rising from them.
The game stalls were surrounded by children. In the basins where people fished for goldfish, little red fish swam back and forth, their tails splashing up sprays of water.
The balloon-shooting stall was hung with balloons of every color, and the sound of them bursting with loud pops rang out from time to time.
The stalls made the already lively park even noisier, yet somehow not annoying in the slightest.
Su Yue's gaze was drawn to the balloon-shooting stall not far away.
The stall owner was handing an air gun to a child. The little boy raised the gun and took aim at a balloon, looking extremely serious.
Her eyes sparkled, and she looked eager to give it a try. Even her footsteps slowed.
Lin Li, standing beside her, had noticed long ago. He gently nudged Su Yue's arm with his elbow and said with a broad grin, "What, you want to play too? Want to give it a try?"
Su Yue immediately turned around, her eyes shining as she nodded. "Mm. Let's go play together. We can see who shoots more accurately. The loser has to buy ice cream afterward—I want chocolate flavor."
Lin Li patted his chest and said with full confidence, "Do we even need to compare? I played this all the time when I was little. I'm definitely better than you. Don't try to wriggle out of it later and say I bullied you."
