"What a coincidence. You're here too." Cheng Tian greeted her after swallowing the stinky tofu in his mouth.

Su Han stood there blushing, holding her stinky tofu, unable to decide whether to throw it away or keep it. Her bashful face looked so tender that a pinch might squeeze water out of it.

Looking at the stinky tofu in Su Han's hand, Cheng Tian was a little surprised. "So you like this delicacy too, Su Han?" "No, no, no. I don't."

"Then why did you buy it?" Cheng Tian gave her a strange look. Buying something she wasn't going to eat-just what he'd expect from someone rich. "Y-you're not allowed to tell anyone about this!" Su Han tried to sound fierce, but she looked more like an adorable kitten with its fur standing on end.

So unbecoming. This was far too unbecoming. Su Han looked anxiously at Cheng Tian. If word got out, her image would be ruined!

"Huh? What's the big deal? It's just a box of stinky tofu." Cheng Tian didn't mind in the slightest and picked up his bamboo skewer to eat another piece.

But a misty layer of tears rose in Su Han's eyes, as though she were about to cry.

"Huh? Wait, don't cry, Su Han." Cheng Tian panicked immediately. If he made Su Han cry, not only would their relationship suffer, but he would become public enemy number one among the boys at school.

Suddenly, Su Han hugged Cheng Tian's arm and took a photo with her phone. Cheng Tian felt two unbelievably soft mounds pressing against his arm, and his body even started reacting.

Holy crap, this wasn't good!

Cheng Tian hurriedly pulled his arm free. What if she noticed his reaction and thought he was a pervert?!

Su Han turned her phone around to show Cheng Tian. In the photo, she was hugging him with an aggrieved expression while he was anxiously trying to shake her off.

Yep, a perfect portrait of a scumbag.

"Wh-what's this for?" Cheng Tian was baffled. Su Han puffed out her cheeks and waved her phone. "Cheng Tian, please keep what happened today a secret. After all, you wouldn't want anyone finding out you're a scumbag, would you?"

Cheng Tian could only marvel at her audacity. Was all this really necessary over some stinky tofu? But seeing that Su Han wasn't joking, he quickly agreed. "Okay, okay, okay. I absolutely won't tell anyone. Hurry up and delete the photo, Su Han."

"No. I'm not deleting it. As long as you don't tell anyone, I won't post it." Su Han's gaze was anything but friendly.

It seemed there was no way to get this young lady to delete the photo. Cheng Tian sighed helplessly. "Did you come here to have fun too, Su Han?" She nodded. "Since I came to Bingzhou, I wanted to visit the food street and see if there was anything good to eat."

"Ohh. Nobody's home, so I came out by myself." At his words, Su Han's eyes lit up slightly. "I happen to be alone too, and I don't know what's here. Could you show me around, Cheng Tian?"

"Of course. Do you want to eat first or have some fun first?" Cheng Tian asked. "Hmm, I'd like some milk tea first," Su Han answered after a moment's thought.

The corner of Cheng Tian's mouth twitched. Sure enough, girls had to have milk tea when they went shopping... "Let's go, then. There's a shop called Four Seasons Flowers on this food street. We'll get some there." "Okay!"

With a sweet, beautiful girl following at his side, Cheng Tian naturally drew attention as he walked down the street. They both happened to be wearing white T-shirts, giving them quite the look of a couple.

The men accompanying their girlfriends on shopping trips couldn't help looking at Su Han, only to be dragged away by their ears, grimacing in pain.

After buying two cups of milk tea, they decided to look around the shopping center. Although Bingzhou's economy wasn't doing well, the shopping center was still lively on most days.

The weather was hot. Even with the air-conditioning running inside, people packed into the building still felt the heat.

Su Han stopped in front of a clothing store, picked up a reversible black-and-white bucket hat, and put it on. Turning around, she asked Cheng Tian with a bright smile, "What do you think? Does it look good?"

Cheng Tian nodded sincerely. "It does." Su Han was already so beautiful that there was nothing wrong with saying she looked good.

"Sir, your girlfriend is so pretty. We've just received a new batch of clothes. Why don't you come in and take a look?" the sales assistant said complimentarily.

Su Han blushed a little. Did she and Cheng Tian really look that much like a couple? At that thought, she felt a little afraid to look at his face.

Cheng Tian waved casually. "We're not a couple. We're just looking around." The sales assistant looked a little embarrassed. "Oh... I see. Please feel free to browse, then."

Cheng Tian turned to her. "What do you think, Su Han? Want to go in... uh? What's wrong?" Su Han puffed out her cheeks angrily. "Nothing. I don't want to look. Let's go." With that, she walked ahead without looking back.

"Hey, wait for me." Cheng Tian hurried after her, as bewildered as a towering monk unable to find the top of his own head. Why was she angry again? Women were such a hassle.

The more Su Han thought about it, the angrier she became, but then she suddenly froze for a moment. They weren't actually a couple, so why was she angry?

Could it be that she...

Su Han quickly shook her head. Impossible, impossible. Just then, a tantalizing aroma caught her attention. Following the smell, she saw little golden-brown fish balls sitting on a machine with rotating rollers.

"Cheng Tian, let's have some of those." Cheng Tian nodded. "Two portions of little fish balls, please."

"Coming right up!" The vendor quickly picked out two portions of fish balls and handed them to Cheng Tian. After he scanned the code to pay, the two of them ate as they wandered around the mall.

The freshly cooked fish balls were a little too hot to eat. Su Han speared two with her bamboo skewer, pursed her rosy lips slightly to blow on them, then popped them into her mouth in one go. Her eyes curved into happy little crescents.

Cheng Tian didn't find them hot and ate them one by one while watching the happy girl before him. Well, who would have thought the young lady at school could look so adorable outside?

After eating about a third, Su Han handed the remaining fish balls to Cheng Tian. "Do you want these, Cheng Tian?" He looked at the many fish balls still inside. "Why aren't you eating any more? There are still so many left."

Su Han stuck out her tongue. "Eating too much makes it easy to gain weight. I just wanted a taste." "All right." At that, Cheng Tian tipped her portion of fish balls into his own container.

After that, Su Han and Cheng Tian continued wandering around, wanting to take a look whenever they spotted something tasty or fun.

But this young lady really did only have a taste, just as she had said, and all the leftovers ended up being fed to Cheng Tian.

"Um..." Cheng Tian looked helplessly at the dorayaki Su Han had just pushed into his hand. "You've already taken a bite out of this..."

Su Han's little face reddened. She had been so focused on eating that she'd forgotten she had already bitten it, and she quickly took it back. "Hmph, you can't have this one."

It hadn't been long since he'd finished his meal, and Su Han had fed him the entire way as they walked. Cheng Tian now felt truly stuffed. "Slow down, slow down. I only just ate, and now I can barely walk."

At his words, Su Han pointed to two chairs set out in the mall. "Then let's go rest over there for a bit."
