Chapter 167: Date [2]

Despite her insistence, Muyang refused to reveal the truth to her. The car stopped at a mall with a high end boutique where she changed into an outfit similar to his. Black jeans, white cotton turtle neck shirt and a black coat with sneakers.

As she was changing, Muyang took advantage of the little time to buy a few dresses for her as a surprise. They were to be delivered to her home immediately.

Before changing, she realized that the colors of her outfit were coordinating with his. "Is this a couple outfit?" she asked as soon as she came back to him where he was waiting outside the car.

"Mmm." He mumbled uncomfortably. He was looking up at the sky, probably feeling embarrassed.

She could not help but wonder whose idea this was. If she had to guess, it was Wenzhe’s idea; Muyang was not the trendy date idea type. He was old fashioned or traditional; to him a date was high end food in a high end hotel. Or so she assumed anyway.

She chuckled and hugged his arm, "Well," she said cheekily, "Now everyone that sees us will know that you are my man."

He cleared his throat and smiled broadly, like the winner of a big lottery. "En." He responded.

"Now will you tell me where we are going?" she asked.

"We are walking to the night market; Wenzhe said that the food there is authentic and trendy so I thought you would enjoy trying it out."

He was right, her face lit up like a Christmas tree when she heard about authentic food.

"Come on, let’s go then." She tugged at his hand persistently. "You two, don’t just hover around, enjoy yourselves." She pointed at Wenli and Wenzhe.

Muyang also ordered the guards to keep a distance.

Hand in hand, the two of them of them walked just like any other loving couple in the streets. Because they were good looking, people often stared at them. Chi Lian proudly smiled like a peacock, her eyes saying ’Yes, see this handsome man, he is mine.’

Before entering the night market, which was more of a food street filled with restaurants and food carts, they passed by a beautiful scenery where other couples were taking pictures.

"Muyang, let’s take pictures first." She tugged at his hand while pointing in the direction of a place where cherry blossom trees were planted on opposite sides, creating a lovely arch and romantic scene.

Muyang gladly allowed her to pull him into the mixture of young men and women taking photos while holding hands or making love hearts.

"Oh, they are all so cute." She commented. "Let’s do the same."

They made love hearts with their hands and Wenzhe took photos for them. They also took photos where Chi Lian was pecking his cheek. She wasted no time sharing those pictures to her moments.

As they were leaving, a young boy not older than ten approached them and said, "Handsome man will you buy a rose for your beautiful lady."

"Awwww." Chi Lian went. She found the little boy with a deer headband on his head adorable. "Muyang give him some money." She slapped his arm softly.

Muyang wanted to tell her that the boy was only calling them handsome and beautiful to make a sell but looking at her eager face, he could not disappoint her.

He pulled out his wallet and asked the boy" how much?"

"Only ten Yuan, handsome man." The boy smiled adorably.

In his wallet were notes no less than one hundred Yuan each. "Do you have change?"

"No," the boy replied while glancing at the note eagerly.

Muyang resisted the urge to roll his eyes. The boy had that same look his little minx had when it came to scheming money.

"Just keep the change." He told the boy with a sigh.

The boy quickly grabbed the note before he could rescind the offer. "Thank you handsome man." He shouted and gave Chi Lian two roses. "Beautiful lady, the second rose is from me." He said cheekily and run away.

"Pfffftt." She laughed. "Oh how cute."

Muyang snorted unhappily. "There is nothing cute about that, he is such a crafty young brat. He is flirting with women instead of reading books. At his age, I was representing the country in an international math Olympiad." He said proudly.

"Ha-ha-haaaa" Chi Lian continued to laugh. "Muyang, are you jealous of him?"

"Who is jealous?" he pursed his lips.

All these moments were captured by Wenzhe who had turned himself into their personal photographer despite Chi Lian’s insistence that he have fun.

"Let’s go and eat, I did not enjoy lunch today." She put her hand in his and they finally entered the night market.

Muyang made note of the fact that she had said she did not enjoy lunch. He would start sending her meals from now on.

They were immediately assaulted by different smells of food from different restaurants, stalls and food carts. The other assault came from the loud megaphones which different sellers were using to advertise their goodies.

"The best barbeque chicken in the entire empire, come and taste it."

"Burgers, burgers, all your burgers."

"Authentic snail noodles from sea city; you will never forget them in your life."

A few young men came running through the crowd and Chi Lian was shoved, almost falling down. Muyang quickly grabbed her and pulled her extremely close. He was glad that he had convinced her to change from high heels to sneakers otherwise in this overly populated crowd, walking would be a problem. People were stepping on each other in a hurry to get to whatever stall or restaurant they preferred.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She nodded and continued looking around. In her mind, she wondered if Muyang was really comfortable in this environment. The man had probably never been to a night market in his life. Let alone eaten food from one.

He had grown up eating specific food from approved chefs. What if his stomach was upset by the food from here? Some of the cooks and food here was not the cleanest or healthiest. She appreciated the fact he was doing this for her but she did not mind going elsewhere.

She tugged his neck down and whispered in his ear, "Muyang, are you sure you want to eat from here?"
