With Shen Lian leading the way, their little group really did eat their way down the street.
Shen Lian not only had an appetite, he knew his food. Local specialties, dishes with proper flavor-his eyes scanned everything like lasers, and he never picked a dud.
Wu Shengsheng and the others put up a little resistance at first, then gave up completely.
They might as well eat. They wouldn't get another chance like this; getting scolded by their managers could wait.
"These stuffed candied hawthorns." Shen Lian turned to ask them, "Want some?"
All four nodded in unison.
Liu Tang loved candied hawthorns best. There were only three on each skewer, hardly a lot. She specifically chose the durian filling. "Don't judge me, okay?"
Shen Lian said gently, "How can you even say that over such a tiny bit?"
Liu Tang giggled.
Just then, Yu Ming's voice abruptly cut in. "Are you done yet? Wei Kan and the others are already nowhere to be seen."
Wu Shengsheng was straightforward and said what she thought. She frowned at that. "Then go with them."
Yu Ming's voice grew colder. "I'm only worried about you."
Wu Shengsheng laughed. "My guy, it's broad daylight, and there are people everywhere. What are you worried about?"
You're just lashing out because you can't get near Shu Mingyue, aren't you? Wu Shengsheng didn't say it aloud, but her expression was no longer particularly friendly.
Shen Lian glanced at Yu Ming. Impressive. He was even better at digging his own grave than Shen Lian had expected.
Better you than me. Keep going, buddy.
Wu Shengsheng's words left Yu Ming choking on his anger, but he didn't dare show it too openly. Now even his sunglasses couldn't hide his sour expression.
[Damn, so annoying.]
