The two walked side by side towards the night market and entered the barbecue shop. Du Liqing casually pulled out a chair to sit on and placed the bag on the other chair. He didn't feel that there was any problem with these places.
Lu Juyan looked at the tables and chairs in front of him and lightly touched them with his fingertips. A greasy feeling spread out from his hands. He randomly picked up a tissue and wiped his fingertips. The coarse texture of the tissue made him feel disgusted. He threw the tissue into the trash can and looked at the oil on the table and chairs. He then stood aside with mixed feelings.
"Hey, what do you want to eat?" Du Liqing, who had picked up the menu and was preparing to order something to eat, didn't notice the disdain in Lu Juyan's heart. He told the boss about what he wanted to eat before thinking of Lu Juyan's existence.
Lu Juyan's gaze roamed the area for a week and he saw that the charred meat on the grill had been wiped with a steel ball. He tossed it to the side and continued to place something on the grill. A slight feeling of unease arose in his heart. He frowned as he heard Du Liqing's question. He looked at the greasy menu and felt extremely complicated. He didn't know what to say.
"Why don't you sit down?" Du Liqing didn't get Lu Juyan's reply and subconsciously turned to look at him. He saw that Lu Juyan had his hands in his pockets, and had an apprehensive expression on his face.
"This table and chair doesn't seem to be very clean." Lu Juyan was speechless when he met Du Yun's azure gaze. He stammered out this excuse, and it was the same as when Lu Juyan had initially wanted to happily accompany Du Ruqing to slap his face on the face.
This made Du Ruqing feel very funny. She looked at the dim yellow table and saw the same scene on the food stall. Helplessly shaking her head, she pulled out a few rough tissues and wiped the area of the table and chairs in front of Lu Juyan.
"How is it, is it okay? Sit down. " Du Liqing tossed the wiped tissue onto the trash can by his feet and clapped his hands as he looked at Lu Juyan. He stood up and pulled out a chair for him, inviting him to sit down.
Since Lu Juyan had a way out, he naturally went down. He was still uncomfortable sitting on the chair that had been wiped clean by Du Liqing. His back was stiff and he didn't even want to touch the backrest.
"What would you like to eat?" Du Liqing covered his mouth and laughed when he saw Lu Juyan's slightly disdainful expression. However, she still put the menu in front of him and let him take a closer look.
When the two of them ordered what they wanted, the boss quickly brought them over. The smell of the barbecue filled the air at the tips of their noses, making them salivate.
Her green eyes lit up as she looked at the delicious skewers. She randomly picked one up and took a bite. That familiar taste once again surged into her heart, making her feel very happy.
"Eat some. It's not bad." Du Ruqing looked at Lu Juyan, who hadn't moved at all. She picked up a skewer and placed it next to his mouth, attempting to let him taste it.
Lu Juyan had no choice but to open his mouth in embarrassment and take a bite. The meat was tender, and with the addition of the seasonings, it was just perfect for eating. It made him feel that these things weren't too hard to eat. He took the things that Du Ruqing passed to him and ate them without taking a bite.
When Lu Juyan ate a stick, Du Liqing saw the color at the corner of his mouth and felt that it was getting increasingly funny. He pretended to be serious and asked, "You're so handsome!"
This sudden praise made Lu Juyan feel a little baffled. He took out his phone and looked at the reflection on the screen. Noticing that the seasoning on the corner of his mouth didn't match his suit at all, he immediately took out a tissue and wiped it off. He snappily said, "I'm very handsome to begin with!"
Gradually, Lu Juyan ignored the smoke on the grill, let go of the restraints in his heart, and began to try out the delicacies in large mouthfuls. Du Liqing was also very considerate as she recommended the dishes to him. She even accidentally took out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.
The two of them teased each other without saying a word, and their faces were brimming with brilliant smiles. The surroundings were bubbling with pink bubbles, and the feelings between the two of them were also getting more and more intense.
"I'm full, let's go?" Du Ruqing put down the skewer in her hand. The satiety in her stomach made her want to walk around for a while to dispel the hunger.
Lu Juyan subconsciously wanted to take out his wallet and give the boss some money, but only now did he realize that he couldn't pretend to be rich. He stopped fumbling with his wallet and awkwardly put it aside as he watched Du Liqing give the boss a meal fee and place it on the table.
Just like that, the two of them left the barbeque store and walked towards the roadside. They happened to see fireworks in the square not far from them. With a wide open field of vision, they could see the beautiful fireworks in front of them.
Du Ruqing stared fixedly at the fireworks in the sky, her eyes slightly red and slightly moist. In his mind, he suddenly recalled that when Father Du was alive, he also brought her here to eat a kebab and watch the fireworks.
Lu Juyan turned his head to look at her face when he felt that Du Liqing's footsteps were getting slower and slower. He noticed the slight tears in the corners of her eyes and felt pity for her.
He looked at the stall nearby and coincidentally saw the person who bought the fireworks. Before the fireworks in the sky dispersed, he quickly went to buy a handful of fireworks, and took out some loose money from his pocket.
When Du Liqing lowered his head, wanting to return home with Lu Juyan, he found that he had disappeared into the sea of people. Looking around for his figure, his heart was filled with panic.
Du Liqing was anxiously about to push through the crowd to search for Lu Juyan's figure when he heard that familiar voice. "It's azure."
She put on an act and met Lu Juyan's deep gaze. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. She sniffed and walked over as if nothing had happened.
"I bought a firework." Lu Juyan sensed the sadness in Du Ruqing's eyes. He placed the firework on his back between the two of them and told her why they had suddenly reached an intersection.
"Why waste so much money?" Du Ruqing's originally calm state of mind once again surged because of the sudden fireworks, and his eyes once again became moist. The emotions she felt in her heart caused her to subconsciously open her mouth to reprimand Lu Juyan, in order to conceal the emotions she felt from the bottom of her heart.
"Together?" The corners of Lu Juyan's lips curled up into a smile as he selectively ignored Du Liqing's reprimand. On the surface, however, he displayed an appearance as if he knew how to save money. He took out a fire machine from his right hand and asked.
Du Liqing nodded. When he turned around to Lu Juyan's side, he carefully wiped away the wet tears at the corners of his eyes with the tips of his fingers. In the end, that tear just happened to soak her fingertip. Only then did she realize how big the volume of one tear was.
