Chapter 87 The Truth ([-])

The night fell and the lights dimmed.

City A, this ancient city, shed the hustle and bustle and glitz of the day, and returned to the trivial and ordinary of the market.

In the alleys deep in the city, more than a hundred food trucks are scattered on both sides of the street, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle for people to pass through.Roasting, frying and frying, hundreds of stoves are in full swing, the ringing of bicycle bells, the clang of pots and pans, and the sounds of selling with folk characteristics, one after another, they converge into a real fireworks in the world.

The down-to-earth seafood stalls are crowded with diners who come to taste fresh seafood. There is no room to sit in the lobby, so the boss puts a few more tables in the open space at the door. It was divided up by the diners who swarmed up.

Miguo rushed to the front this time, and she grabbed the best table. In order to prove her ownership, she put the teddy bear backpack on the opposite chair to show that she was waiting for someone.

Those diners who arrived late complained to the boss, why not rent a bigger place, the boss apologized in a good temper, promised to give them a [-]% discount next time, and then sent away batch after batch of guests.

When Li Chengxun arrived, six signature dishes with all kinds of flavors and colors had already been served.

Shrimp with pepper and salt, fried squid in sauce, salted egg yolk crab, overlord crab legs, small abalone, and Li Chengxun's favorite seafood fried dough sticks.

Seafood fried dough sticks are fried fried dough sticks that are crispy and salty and all kinds of seafood stewed together. To comment on this dish in the words of rice crackers, that is, one dish is satisfying.

Seeing Li Chengxun's figure, Mi Guo immediately stood up and waved to him, "Li Chengxun—"

Li Chengxun saw that Mi Guo was hiding among a group of diners with big arms and round waists. He looked extremely petite, and the corners of his lips could not help but slightly curled up. He also raised his hand and shook it, and walked over quickly.

"Sorry, I'm late..." There was a thin layer of sweat on Li Chengxun's forehead.

This way, he gave full play to his athletic skills in school, wearing a suit, and walked through the crowded alleys of the night market.

Still, he was late.

His eyes lit up when he saw all kinds of seafood on the table with tempting aromas, especially when he saw his favorite plate of old seafood fritters.

"It's okay, I haven't been here for long." Mi Guo took the backpack off the chair and put it on his lap, "Sit down quickly."

Sitting down, Li Chengxun suddenly remembered something, took out a long and thin thing wrapped in oil paper from the purse he was carrying, and handed it to Mi Guo, "You like it."

Mi Guo took it and looked at the light, she was startled.

Sugar-coated haws!

Her favorite food is the candied haws on Kumho Road.

"Did you buy it on purpose?" Mi Guo looked at the wrapping paper on the candied haws, and then gently placed it on the table.

Li Chengxun smiled and nodded, "It's late because I went to buy it."

He didn't expect that a store selling candied haws could do so well. He squeezed in a group of young women solemnly and waited in line for a long time before he bought this bunch of fresh candied haws.

Mi Guo didn't go to taste the surprise brought by Li Chengxun right away, she lowered her head slightly, and said without seeing her expression, "Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me!" Li Chengxun waved his hand, picked up the chopsticks, broke them apart, rubbed off the wooden thorns on them left and right, and then handed them to Miguo: "Let's start."

Miguo said oh, took the chopsticks, and said again: "Thank you."

Li Chengxun looked at her helplessly, "Are you going to just say thank you tonight?"

Miguo smiled shyly, "Of course not."

She pushes the plate of old fried dough sticks towards Lee Sung-hoon, and asks if he wants a drink.

Li Chengxun originally wanted to say no, but on a second thought, he ordered a bottle of beer.

The waiter brought two glasses and a bottle of local beer. Li Chengxun opened the wine cap. Before pouring the wine, out of politeness, he asked Miguo if he would like some. He thought Miguo would not drink, but Miguo nodded. , took the initiative to pick up the empty glass, "I want a glass."

Li Chengxun looked at the reddish Miguo in surprise, wanted to say something, but smiled again, tilted his wrist, and filled the wine glass for Miguo.

The two clinked glasses, and Li Chengxun drank half of the glass in one gulp to show his sincerity, but when he looked at Mi Guo, he couldn't help but let out a cry.

Seeing that Miguo drank the whole glass of orange wine with her neck raised boldly, she puffed her cheeks, blushed, and slowly put down the glass.While struggling to swallow the beer, seeing Li Chengxun's concerned and astonished eyes, she couldn't breathe well and choked.

"Cough cough cough!! Ke cough cough cough!!!"

Li Chengxun quickly handed over the tissue, ready to make a gesture, "Does it matter, Miguo!"

Seeing that she was coughing badly, he raised his hand and called the waiter: "Please bring me a glass of warm water!"

Mi Guo finally stopped coughing, but her image was already in a mess. She sipped hot water and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Chengxun.

Li Chengxun was angry and funny, he took Miguo's beer glass away, "You better stop drinking."

"Oh." Miguo responded, and the hot air was blown out, moistening her eyelashes. From Li Chengxun's perspective, they were shining like a string of black crystals.

His throat visibly constricted.

"Eat it, your favorite crab leg." Li Chengxun looked away, picked up the thickest crab leg, and put it on the rice cracker plate.

Mi Guo subconsciously opened her mouth to thank her, but Li Chengxun shook her head slightly the moment she spoke, "Stop saying thank you."

Miguo looked slightly stunned, put down the water glass, gave a low hum, and began to concentrate on gnawing the crab legs.

After eating almost, Li Chengxun got up and said to go to the bathroom.Mi Guo said yes, she saw that Li Chengxun's face was a little red, and asked him if he was drunk, Li Chengxun smiled and said, how could he be drunk with this little wine.

After Li Chengxun left, Mi Guo's smile gradually faded. She leaned on the table with one elbow, rested her chin, and looked at the chef who was frying seafood in the opposite house with some disappointment.

The sound of sizzling hot pot burst out from time to time. The chef, wearing a white top hat, was concentrating on stir-frying the dishes in the steaming operating room.

His eyes slipped and he froze again.

She saw the fire protection poster when she was in distress here last year.

After more than a year of exposure to the sun and rain, the bright colors of the display boards have long since disappeared, and the patterns are also mottled, revealing the dark brown interlining inside.

However, she still recognized the handsome figure at a glance.

Yue Tingchuan.

Only when she really came into contact with the legendary heroes, did she know that the heroes were ordinary people with flesh and blood.

They laugh when they are happy, cry when they are sad, and have the troubles and sorrows of ordinary people. Moreover, the hero she knows not only has the bad habit of smoking, but also eats apples and catches a cold like ordinary people. .

Thinking of some funny scene, she frowned and smiled at the dilapidated display board.

Li Chengxun happened to see this scene, he stopped a few meters away from that corner, and looked deeply at the girl with a beautiful smile.

He likes rice crackers, likes the smile of rice crackers.

That pure and flawless smile, like a ray of sunshine, illuminated the darkness, and also illuminated his humble and dark heart.

He longs for the sun, longs for Migo's love, he selfishly wants everything about Migo, and wants him to be the only one in her eyes. .

"What did you think of, so happy!" Li Chengxun walked over and sat down.

"Oh, it's nothing." Mi Guo quickly looked away.

Li Chengxun looked at her and called softly: "Miguo."

She raised her eyes, a little startled, she glanced at him, looked away, and asked, "Oh, what do you want to say?"

Li Chengxun played with the cup in his hand, turned it around a few times, and then turned back, "Why are you treating me today?"

The meal has already been paid for when ordering food, this time, he has no chance to get ahead.

Miguo's body shook, but he didn't look back.

Li Chengxun's heart sank, he smiled wryly, and vaguely guessed some kind of possibility.

He was silent for a while, and said to Miguo, "Let's go for a walk around, shall we?"

Mi Guo nodded lightly, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the seafood stall first.

They went to a nearby park.The park is very small, there is no lake, only a large area of ​​green space and woods.At night, many citizens are exercising inside, and the exaggerated tunes of the square dance make people want to cover their ears.They went on along the path until the chaotic music died down.

Mi Guo stopped first, and she called: "Li Chengxun."

Li Chengxun, who was a step ahead, suddenly stopped, but turned around at an extremely slow speed, looked at her, "I am here."

Mi Guo blinked, trying to see the handsome man hiding in the darkness more clearly and thoroughly, but she found that she failed.

She was about to muster up the courage to lift the veil covering their relationship, but she heard Li Chengxun take a few heavy breaths and said to her, "Miguo, you know everything, don't you?"

Migo froze.

How did he know that what she wanted to ask was this matter?

She nodded with difficulty, "Yes, I know that you are the senior marriage trustee of 'Xifulai'. You use your good conditions to go fishing and attract more women to join the club."

Li Chengxun didn't speak after hearing this, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and the expression on his face couldn't be seen clearly.

After a long time, he said in a voice that suddenly became dark and hoarse, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Miguo shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this, Li Chengxun, you have difficulties, right? You must have something to hide, that's why you took this path, right?"

Li Chengxun looked at her, and suddenly felt that he was filthy. The rice fruit in front of him was like a pure and untainted white lotus. She was so kind. to find justification for the unforgivable crimes committed against him.

In fact, he could tell Miguo about his family's predicament and ask for her sympathy and understanding. He just took this opportunity to express his feelings to Miguo. love.

However, Li Chengxun gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He is none other than Li Chengxun.

There is a kind of self-esteem called Qinggao, which has grown in his bones since he was a child, mixed with flesh and blood, and has become an inseparable part of his body.

He wouldn't use such clumsy means to impress Miguo, it was impossible for him to do that.
