“Spring Festival activity warm-up! Enjoy 20% off now!”
“Buy one get one free! Buy one get one free!”
“Fresh chestnut cakes, buy one get one free!”
Later.
Golden Fox was curiously wandering around the night market by the Zhujiang River, holding a Put Chai Ko on a bamboo skewer with a few bite marks on it, chewing and whimpering.
The Zhujiang River night view was a man-made attraction that Sui City had recently been heavily promoting.
Su Tianqing felt that attractions like river night views had no novelty; every city seemed to have a so-called “night view” that was heavily promoted.
However, the greatest use of such attractions was not to admire the scenery, but to leisurely stroll with friends; the biggest limitation was whether there were friends willing to wander aimlessly with you.
Just like playing with Jia Yu.
“This is quite tasty.”
Nan Jiayu held half a Put Chai Ko in her mouth, chewed it carefully a few times, swallowed it, and gave her evaluation.
“Right? It’s said to be a famous snack here in Sui City. It’s quite chewy.”
Golden Fox replied with a smile, immediately sticking close to the Cat Girl beside her.
Besides strolling with Jia Yu, Su Tianqing had another intention for coming to this night market.
Originally, when she was on the boat in the afternoon, she had planned to take advantage of the atmosphere to tell Jia Yu the secret she wanted to share, but the appearance of the Catfish Monster disrupted her plan.
She had to reveal the secret when the atmosphere was just right for it to be effective! Just blurting it out would be super boring!
It would be best to create a sense of crisis, so that when Jia Yu came to her rescue, she would start to…
Moreover, she was very much looking forward to what kind of reaction Jia Yu would have.
But given Jia Yu’s current situation, she would probably show a look of sudden realization after a considerable degree of astonishment, and then they would take the opportunity to express their feelings for each other, and finally…
What? You mean Jia Yu would become twisted, gloomy, and cry loudly because of this?
“How is that possible? This is pure love warrior Ten Thousand Mercury.”
Su Tianqing felt as if she had heard a great voice from beyond the astral realm, speaking words she completely did not understand.
Besides strolling with Jia Yu, Su Tianqing also had another matter to ponder. Using this time of mindless wandering, she could allocate more of Fox Fox’s computing power to the familiar.
Cat Cat only needed to hang out with the Fox Fox pendant and be affectionate, while Fox Fox had a lot to think about.
While sitting on the street playing a feeding game with Jia Yu, Su Tianqing directed her familiar to search for useful Fox Fox wonderful small tools in the magic space.
To find Red Rose, it seemed she had to use the Fox Fox small tools given by the secret codex, and she didn’t know which ones would be useful.
The familiar was rummaging through the magic space, and Su Tianqing dared not let the familiar enter autonomous mode, as it could easily do some baffling things; she had to control it manually.
However, fortunately, what needed to be done at the moment did not require any brainpower, so Fox Fox’s brain would not overload due to dual-threaded thinking.
“This is delicious, Jia Yu, you should try it.”
“Hmm? Ah—gulp.”
Fox Fox picked up a piece of beef offal from the lunchbox and handed it to the Cat Girl beside her.
The Cat Girl opened her mouth to take it, her tail wagged left and right, her eyes lit up, and her tail coiled into a circle behind her.
“How is it? It’s very delicious, isn’t it?”
“It is indeed very delicious, very savory,” Nan Jiayu nodded and said,
“The beef offal in Rong City is saltier and more savory, but here it has a hint of sweetness, a very unique flavor.”
“Right, right~ But both kinds of beef offal are delicious! Which one do you prefer, Jia Yu?”
“Me… I prefer the one from Jiazhou City, but Sui City’s isn’t bad either.”
“Really? Then let’s go to Jiazhou City next time! I heard there’s a lot of good food there too!”
Su Tianqing wagged her tail happily and said with a smile.
Not far away, four heads peeked out from behind the beef offal soup vendor next door, looking at Cat Cat Fox Fox, who were sitting on a bench by the river, being affectionate.
Seeing the Cat’s tail and the fluffy Fox’s tail intertwined, the Monster suckers felt a great sense of satisfaction.
“How wonderful—”
Lin Muyao took a big gulp of the beef offal soup in her hand and sighed.
“Why is Jiayu Jie only so cute in front of Tianqing Jie? Why can’t she be a little gentler with me?”
Looking at the Cat Girl who was delicately taking beef offal from Fox Fox’s hand, Nan Xiaofeng also couldn’t help but put a slice of beef into her mouth and complained.
“Perhaps… this is what couples in love are like?” Hua Ling gave her answer.
Li Kexin said nothing, silently eating the beef offal from her lunchbox, her eyes fixed on Cat Cat Fox Fox by the river, wondering what she was thinking.
After a long while, this young lady finally spoke:
“Miss Tianqing and Miss Jia Yu, have they confirmed their relationship yet?”
“They don’t seem to have told us yet, but everyone thinks they’re a good match.”
Nan Xiaofeng, as a family member, directly approved of the match.
Having Tianqing Jie as her brother-in-law would be pretty good! As a sister-in-law, that works too!
“But Tianqing Jie met Jiayu Jie three or four months ago, and their relationship was already very good back then. They even came to my house for dinner together.”
“Is that so…”
Li Kexin’s words were full of regret.
The three suddenly realized something and all turned to look at Li Kexin’s regretful expression, their eyes a bit strange.
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Your expression is very strange,” Nan Xiaofeng said.
“You wouldn’t be thinking of… trying to snatch Tianqing Jie from Jiayu Jie, would you?”
“H-how could that be! Miss Tianqing and I… are just ordinary friends!”
Li Kexin’s cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly said.
Lin Muyao showed a strange smile on her face.
“Hehehe… Is it really just ordinary friends? When Tianqing Jie rescued you from Xin Yuehu’s rooftop, didn’t you have any—different thoughts about Tianqing Jie?”
“Th-that…”
The girl’s cheeks were flushed red, and she gulped down two mouthfuls of beef offal soup to hide her unease.
Nan Xiaofeng didn’t pay attention to the senior’s movements, but her gaze, along with Hua Ling’s, fell on Cat Cat Fox Fox, who were being affectionate by the river.
Honestly, if Miss Li Kexin really pursued Tianqing Jie, could this little Fox Fox really withstand her offensive?
However, from the current situation, even if Li Kexin really went for it and expressed her feelings, she would probably be persuaded back to being just ordinary friends by the kind and pure-love warrior Tianqing Jie.
“But speaking of which, when are we going to find Senior Red Rose tomorrow? Where is her address likely to be?”
“We won’t go tomorrow for now. I just contacted Senior, and her schedule has changed.”
The topic shifted, and Li Kexin immediately followed Nan Xiaofeng’s words, causing Lin Muyao, whose gossip soul was burning fiercely, to suddenly fall silent.
“Schedule change? Could it be that Senior…”
“Do you know about the Firefly Comic Exhibition in Sui City?”
“I know!” Lin Muyao immediately raised her hand.
As a Magic Girl enthusiast, Lin Muyao was very familiar with the name of the Firefly Comic Exhibition.
“It’s said to be a national large-scale Magic Girl comic exhibition! All Hero Associations nationwide send their Magic Girl merchandise here for display and sale, and there’s even merchandise from abroad!”
“Yes. Senior said she received an invitation from the Suicheng Hero Association today, and she will be attending this Firefly Comic Exhibition.”
“It’s the day after tomorrow.”
