The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 491 - 490. Strange, very strange!

Chapter 491: 490. Strange, very strange!

The former is significantly inferior in terms of color alone, and for a moment, it’s a bit overwhelming to take in all at once.

Jing Yu, perhaps having not been to such an event in a long time, actually found it quite charming, reminiscent of his childhood.

"It is indeed lively, the colors...very vibrant."

The temple fair is all about celebration; as netizens would say, it is flamboyantly arranged—whatever makes it festive, that’s how it’s done.

It’s not just the staff who are lively at the temple fair; due to its grand scale, it has attracted many nearby residents, with crowds of old people and children, as well as numerous young couples on dates.

"I remember now, today is the weekend!"

The two narrowly avoided several children who were dashing around playing hide-and-seek and had to make sure not to disturb a team stilt-walking behind them. Even if you are agile, it’s hard to guarantee not bumping into these people.

Jing Yu reached out his hand and pulled her to the side, "Shall we go look at the stalls on both sides?"

"Sure, what’s that, clay figurine making?"

"Yes, an old craft passed down for many years in the Imperial Capital, it’s considered one of Imperial Root City’s two major heritages along with sugar art."

"There’s such a saying? Sounds quite interesting."

"Want to know the stories behind these two heritages?"

As a native of the Imperial Capital, Jing Yu was like a living encyclopedia on this subject.

Tang Shu met his smiling gaze and continued on his cue, "Please, Mr. Jing, what reward would you like?"

It was an ordinary phrase, said without thought, but heard with interest.

Jing Yu met her clear eyes exposed outside the mask, and his dark pupils flickered.

He paused and then looked away.

"Let’s save it for later."

Save it for later...?

Tang Shu blinked her puzzled eyes, not yet understanding why they had to save it, when she heard him begin to recount the little stories of the Imperial Capital.

***

The temple fair was exceptionally lively.

There were so many endless stalls on both sides: traditional mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, delicate jewelry, candied hawthorn sticks, fortune-telling... almost one after another.

Approaching the center of the temple fair, Tang Shu’s gaze was drawn to a particular stall.

Jing Yu followed her gaze, seemingly recalling something, his smile growing wider.

"Let’s go."

He walked straight to the front of the stall and took out his phone to scan a payment code.

"Boss, give me fifty bullets."

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

The vendor looked up at the sound of the voice, his hands skillfully continuing his task, but when he saw the customer clearly, a flash of amazement crossed his face.

The man opposite had sharp, slanting eyebrows, eyes like ink splashes, and a handsomely defined facial structure; he was incredibly handsome.

He had never seen someone so good-looking, not even compared to the stars on TV!

The vendor’s smile deepened, "Handsome guy, trying to make your girlfriend happy?"

Such young men coming to the temple fair were surely accompanying their girlfriends, and he had already served more than a dozen couples that morning.

As he spoke, the vendor glanced toward Jing Yu’s side, but when his gaze fell on Tang Shu, who followed shortly after, he was taken aback once more.

Why was this young lady still wearing a mask?

Which girl doesn’t want to look beautiful on a date, all dolled up? Why cover up?

Odd, very odd!

However, just looking at the young lady’s figure and the bright eyes that were visible, one could tell she was a beauty.

As soon as Tang Shu arrived, she noticed the vendor staring at her with meaning, and several question marks popped up in her mind again.

Because the surrounding environment was so noisy, she did not hear what had just been said.
