The snack street was bustling with activity, with crowds flowing.
Although the snacks here were generally a bit more expensive than outside, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, people out for fun wouldn't mind too much.
"You must be tired after playing for so long; is there anything you want to eat?"
Mu An held Chu Youmeng's little hand, leading her past the many snack stalls.
"I... can eat anything!"
Chu Youmeng secretly glanced in a certain direction and quietly swallowed.
Mu An, who was always attentive to the girl's movements, followed her gaze.
He was surprised to find it was a place selling candied hawthorns!
[The girl wants to eat candied hawthorns but is a bit shy to say it; emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +2]!]
Mu An didn't expose the girl's little thoughts but simply suggested, "I suddenly want to eat candied hawthorns; why don't you accompany me to eat some?"
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Youmeng's beautiful eyes sparkled like clouds parting to reveal the moon.
It seemed as if bright stars were twinkling, enchanting and extraordinarily beautiful.
She gently nodded, indicating her agreement.
Her noticeably lighter steps also hinted that she was in a very good mood!
Soon, they arrived at the candied hawthorn stall.
The owner was an elderly man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties.
He held a long stick wrapped in straw, filled with various flavors of candied hawthorns.
In addition to the most common and traditional hawthorn flavor, there were also strawberry, orange, grape, and more.
Mu An even saw a candied cucumber!
It was coated in sugar and stood out among the candied hawthorns, like a king waiting for a fated person to come and taste it!
This made him feel a bit embarrassed.
Chu Youmeng's gaze also fell on the candied hawthorns, her brows slightly furrowed as she focused on selecting.
She looked like a child who had encountered her favorite toy, her eyes not blinking at all!
[The girl is seriously selecting her favorite candied hawthorn; besides the hawthorn flavor, she also likes the strawberry flavor. I wonder if she can buy both to taste, emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Book: Love Under the Hawthorn Tree Candied Hawthorn]!]
"Boss, two sticks of candied hawthorn! One hawthorn flavor and one strawberry flavor!"
Mu An pondered for a moment and only ordered two sticks.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford more candied hawthorns; he just didn't want to waste food.
Two sticks were enough for Chu Youmeng to enjoy!
This treat is quite sweet, and eating too much can be overwhelming, after all, it's not too good!
"Is that okay?"
He didn't forget to ask Chu Youmeng for her opinion.
"That's fine; one stick is enough for me! Don't waste money!"
Chu Youmeng happily nodded, her beautiful eyes squinting into lovely crescent shapes.
Her gaze was still fixed on the stick of candied hawthorn that was about to belong to her, her little heart filled with happiness.
She even seriously advised Mu An.
Mu An just smiled and said nothing.
The girl thought he was only buying one stick for her, not knowing that both sticks were prepared for her!
'A professional villain naturally considers all aspects!'
"Alright, here are your candied hawthorns! I hope you both have a wonderful day!"
The candied hawthorn grandpa smiled as he handed over the two sticks, his face full of a kind smile.
This young couple reminded him, to some extent, of his lost youth!
It was just as beautiful!
All the warmth of mutual support was unspoken!
"Thank you!"
Chu Youmeng's cheeks flushed slightly as she quietly thanked him.
At this moment, the two sticks of candied hawthorn were already in Mu An's hands.
It seemed she wanted to eat both flavors of candied hawthorn!
Chu Youmeng felt a bit conflicted inside.
Which flavor should she choose?
In the end, Mu An had already handed both sticks of candied hawthorn to her.
Chu Youmeng was taken aback and couldn't help but look up at him in confusion.
"Aren't you eating?"
"Of course I will!"
Mu An said seriously.
"Then why..."
Mu An's answer left the girl even more puzzled.
"You take a bite first, and then I'll tell you!"
"Oh!"
Under someone's persuasion, Chu Youmeng took a small bite of the hawthorn-flavored candied hawthorn.
She didn't directly bite into a small piece of hawthorn; she just broke the sugar coating and took a small half piece of hawthorn along with it.
The sweet and sour taste slowly blossomed on her taste buds, like an incredibly wonderful symphony, captivating her heart!
It made the girl involuntarily squint her eyes in happiness.
Mu An was also unceremonious, swiftly taking a bite of the remaining half of the candied hawthorn.
He didn't forget to explain to her with a smile.
"See, I ate it, didn't I?"
"Not to mention, this hawthorn tastes really sweet! This is the sweetest hawthorn I've ever had in my life!"
Saying something like 'this is the sweetest hawthorn I've ever had in my life' is practically an alternative confession, isn't it?
Confessing to her, or something like that...
That's just too embarrassing!
In an instant!
Chu Youmeng's delicate little face turned rosy.
The heat spread all the way to her ears, also tinting her swan-like snowy neck.
So, what he meant by eating... was this kind of eating!
But, but that was half of what she had eaten... and it still had some of her saliva on it!
Isn't that equivalent to... indirectly doing that between the two of them?
Although they had indeed kissed before, this still made it hard for her, who was easily shy, to accept in a short time.
Right now, the thing she wanted to do the most was to hide her head in a 'sand fortress' like an ostrich, too embarrassed to face anyone!
The girl was momentarily at a loss, her heart in a mess, as if a little deer was jumping around in her chest.
If Mu An found out, he might...
He might draw the bow like a full moon, look at her, and shoot the little deer!

...
Watching the rewards above the girl's head go crazy, Mu An couldn't help but chuckle.
This little girl is just too easily shy!
He decided to go all out and get a big wave of rewards!
"Wait here for me, don't wander off!"
"I'm going to get something, and I'll be back soon!"
Mu An seriously instructed.
That's right!
He planned to find a secluded place to take out the guitar he had received as a reward earlier.
Then, of course, it would be time for him to showcase his singing skills!
He hoped this girl would like the surprise he prepared!
"Okay!"
The girl nodded gently, obediently sitting on the bench, quietly waiting for him to return.
