Zheng City.
At this moment, Xu Musen, not yet aware that he has upgraded from being a jerk to a "jerk dad," is holding hands with Yao Mingyue as they arrive at the familiar street before them.
This is the street they walked on for three years during school.
The students haven't been dismissed yet, but the street on both sides is already filled with food stalls.
Fried sausages, stinky tofu, grilled sweet potato skins, grilled squid, chestnut cakes, squid balls...
All waiting for students, hungry after a day's fasting, to rush out and spend their accumulated pocket money.
The air is filled with the aroma of chili, cumin, and oily sweetness. Setting aside health concerns, these smells indeed make one's appetite grow.
"Xu Musen, I want to eat grilled sausages!"
Yao Mingyue shakes Xu Musen's hand, having been strictly diet-restricted by a nutritionist in the hospital for so long. If not for Mother Xu's secret treats for a couple of days, she would have developed anorexia by now.
