Sunlight leaked from the sycamore leaves on both sides of the street, paving a layer of fine light spots on the gray-blue stone road.
The old town of Imperial Capital retains the architectural layout of a hundred years ago. Most of the pavements along the streets are not high, and various signboards hang under the eaves of gray bricks and gray tiles. There are occasionally a few new glass showcases embedded in the old walls. The old and new are intertwined without looking out of place.
There are many pedestrians on the street, coming and going, bustling and lively.
National Competition has ended.
But teachers and students from various schools, as well as those who came from afar to watch the game, have not left yet.
It's also a rare visit for them Imperial Capital. Since they've come all the time, of course they have to take a good look around and not come in vain.
In order to capture this wave of traffic and business, the merchants of Imperial Capital have also been working hard to carry out activities during this period. The entire Imperial Capital has ushered in the bustle that it has not seen for a long time.
Zhou Fan and Lin Qianqian walked side by side on the street, feeling the excitement and prosperity around them.
He had already visited once last time.
But this time the route is different from last time, and the activities are also different, so the feeling is completely different.
The two of them just walked around casually without any clear purpose.
Soon, they came to the busiest commercial street in the center of Imperial Capital.
Looking around, there are all kinds of snacks on the streets on both sides. Square in the middle also has many activities. There are also some stalls selling various gadgets around it, which is very lively.
"It looks lively over there, let's go there and have a look." Zhou Fan suggested.
Lin Qianqian took a look and nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked over together.
There are many special snacks in the snack street, which they have never eaten before, or even seen.
"This looks delicious, do you want to try it?" Zhou Fan fell in love with a fried snack that looked like a sesame ball.
Lin Qianqian was a little reserved at first.
But I couldn't stand it because it was so delicious that I couldn't help but try one.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's okay," the girl remained reserved.
"The one over there looks delicious, let's go over and try it."
Just like that, the two of them were shopping and eating at the snack street.
Lin Qianqian was quite reserved at first.
But in the end, I was impressed by the various special snacks and had a great time eating them.
After tasting the snacks, they went to the grocery store inside Square.
The things sold here are all kinds of gadgets.
There are all kinds of regular trinkets, small Doll, and some local specialties, all of which look quite novel.
Zhou Fan has no interest in these things. In his opinion, these things are all gimmicks.
Things like opening blind boxes and setting rings are all about spending more money to buy things that are not of that high value.
Purity is an emotional value.
But to him, emotions are the least valuable, not as valuable as real benefits.
Just when he was about to call Lin Qianqian to leave, he suddenly noticed that Lin Qianqian was looking at the stalls selling gadgets inside Square, his eyes obviously moved.
Is she interested in this kind of thing?
Zhou Fan thought for a while, and finally took the initiative to speak, "It looks lively inside, let's go over and have a look."
"Okay."
Lin Qianqian seemed to be in high spirits, and Earth Flow walked briskly.
What is sold here are all kinds of exquisite and small gadgets, which are not attractive to boys, but they should still be very attractive to girls.
After all, even Lin Qianqian is not immune to this.
Although she didn't buy Doll, porcelain dolls, cute blind boxes, etc., she was obviously attracted to them.
When he came to a stall selling porcelain dolls, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but stop.
She stood in front of the stall, bent slightly, her eyes fell on a row of porcelain kitten dolls, and she couldn't help but stretched out a finger and gently touched the ear of one of the white porcelain kittens. She moved very gently, as if she was afraid of breaking it.
She looked at it for a few seconds, then moved her fingers to a small porcelain fox doll next to her, and gently touched the tip of its upturned tail.
Zhou Fan stood a few steps away, watching her little movements.
Because of the bending action, her long hair fell down from her shoulders and hung beside her face.
The expression on her face at this moment was not as cold as usual, but instead showed a little... curiosity, and a little bit of uncontrollable fondness.
Those eyes lingered on the porcelain doll, like a child who saw his favorite toy and couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Little girl, these porcelain dolls are all handmade by our ancient methods. Each one is unique." The proprietress immediately came up to them with a smile and introduced them to them.
"We also have couple models here, which many couples like. You can buy one as a gift to each other, and it will leave a beautiful memory. How nice."
As she said that, the proprietress took out two couple-style porcelain dolls, one pink and one blue. Their movements matched each other, and they hugged each other, which was very warm and sweet.
With the eyes of the landlady who had seen countless people, she could tell at a glance that the two young men in front of her were a couple.
It's a good idea to sell them couple models!
Lin Qianqian's eyes stopped for a moment on the couple's porcelain dolls in the proprietress's hands.
The pink porcelain doll and the blue porcelain doll are nestled against each other, the curvature is just right, the glaze is smooth and delicate, and they are indeed exquisitely made.
But the words "couples" made her look back as if she was slightly stabbed by something.
"... We are not a couple." Her voice was a little lower than usual, but her tone remained as calm as ever.
The landlady was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand, "Oh, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry. Don't mind, little girl, I just thought you two were a good match, so I just said it smoothly."
This statement is more straightforward than before.
"Forget it, I don't want it anymore."
Lin Qianqian turned and left.
Although she really likes that porcelain doll.
But she didn't like to hear what the landlady said.
What does it mean that she and Zhou Fan are a perfect match?
The two of them are obviously not suitable at all!
How could anyone misunderstand that they are a couple? They really have no vision at all!
"Don't you like that porcelain doll? Why don't you buy it?" Zhou Fan was curious.
Although the landlady misunderstood their relationship, it didn't hurt.
If you like something, you should be brave enough to pursue it. How can you give up because of someone else's casual words?
"I don't like it anymore." Lin Qianqian's voice was a little muffled.
She doesn't want others to misunderstand her relationship with Zhou Fan!
Zhou Fan doesn't understand, I just think Lin Qianqian is duplicitous.
I obviously like it, but I say I don't like it.
This kind of person is so awkward.
If it's him, if he likes it, he just likes it. Just admit it openly. There's nothing to be coy about.
