Chapter 93: Craving for Your Popsicle (2/2)

Unexpectedly, Huang Hao, along with his two followers, hurried over. Shen Lingyao got a fright, remembering the bullying from last time, and quickly hid behind Zhao Qingfeng. However, Huang Hao approached with an apologetic face, bowed to Shen Lingyao and said, “Little sister, I was wrong last time. Here, I apologize to you. Come on, let’s have a drink together. I’ve been learning to barbecue recently. Let me grill a couple of skewers for you and have a drink. It won’t take much of your time, okay?”

“Who’s your little sister!”

Shen Lingyao definitely didn’t want to sit with this group of outsiders.

Zhao Qingfeng looked at her gently, then turned to Huang Hao and said, “Brother Hao, are you grilling barbecue or running a barbecue stall? Forget it, not even a drink, I’m very busy today.”

Huang Hao, puzzled by Zhao Qingfeng’s questioning look, wanted to say something but didn’t. He just sighed and said, “Alright, then I won’t disturb your good time. Let’s catch up another day.”

He might have left, but Shen Lingyao was furious. She pinched Zhao Qingfeng hard and pouted angrily, “Brother Qingfeng, how did you become friends with these people? I’m going home, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t want to either.

But he had no choice.

Anyone with social experience understood that once involved with someone like Huang Hao, the relationship could only be that of enemies or ‘friends’. There was no way to maintain a neutral stance unless Huang Hao himself changed fundamentally.

Shen Lingyao thought about it and calmed down a bit, “Alright, I’ll let it slide this time. But you can’t contact them again, and definitely can’t hang out with them. I don’t like it.”

“Sure, why would I hang out with them? I’m going to be our county’s little overlord.”

“Humph, dare to be bad and you’ll see what happens!”

“You misunderstand. I want to be a little overlord to snatch a maiden, starting with you, to make you massage my back, lift my legs, wash clothes, and cook for me, (??ˇ?ˇ?)”

“In your dreams, see if I don’t kick you to death, you little overlord!”

The two playfully chased and bantered all the way to the middle of the food area.

Shen Lingyao wanted to try everything, and Zhao Qingfeng was responsible for buying it all – skewers, sausages, double-layer milk pudding, drinks, sweet potatoes, cotton candy. Anything that caught Shen Lingyao’s eye, Zhao Qingfeng bought them all, soon amassing a large bag full of snacks.

Shen Lingyao didn’t want to encounter Huang Hao again and planned to find a secluded spot on the edge of the night market.

She held cotton candy in one hand and double-layer milk pudding in the other, skipping ahead.

Zhao Qingfeng, carrying two large plastic bags in each hand, followed closely behind.

Passersby looked on with envy.

“Look, that young man is so nice to his girlfriend, buying her so many goodies. I’m so jealous.”

“They’re even wearing matching outfits, how romantic.”

“The guy looks sharp, and the girl is pretty. They’re really a perfect match!”

Shen Lingyao’s face turned red.

She turned back to explain, but the passersby had already disappeared into the crowd.

“Ha, they thought we were a couple, so annoying.”

Zhao Qingfeng pretended to be helpless, secretly delighted in his heart.

“Who would want to be your girlfriend? Only the silliest and dumbest girl in the world would like you!”

Shen Lingyao found a spot to sit down, spreading out a table full of delicious treats. They ate and chatted, laughing and talking endlessly.

“How does your popsicle taste?”

After eating for a while, Shen Lingyao eyed the chocolate bar in Zhao Qingfeng’s hand with interest.

Zhao Qingfeng knew what she was thinking and held out a popsicle to her mouth.

“Ah!”

Shen Lingyao playfully acted like a little tiger about to eat it.

But Zhao Qingfeng suddenly pulled it back, “If you want to eat my popsicle, you have to beat me in a game. Dare to play?”
