Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

So the squid was handed over, followed by the grilled cold noodles. Lian Qingyang ate it all quietly, until he ate the candied haws. He showed that he didn't like it, but he was too embarrassed to say it. He held the candied haws in his mouth, unable to spit it out or swallow it. When he bit it, his teeth felt inexplicably sour, and he even secreted a lot of saliva.

Luo Yichen noticed from the beginning that his expression was not right, but just wanted to tease him, so he tilted his head and stared at him without saying a word, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

Fortunately, he couldn't bear it. The guilt he felt for bullying his wife rose sharply. He sighed and put his hand under Lian Qingyang's mouth. He tapped his chin with his index finger and urged, "Don't you like it? Spit it out."

Lian Qingyang hesitated for a moment, then frowned and sheepishly spat the saliva-stained hawthorn into the palm of the person in front of him. Luo Yichen was about to throw it into his mouth, but under Lian Qingyang's gaze, he turned around and put it on the tissue he had just wiped his mouth with. He took the string of candied haws from Lian Qingyang's hand, bit one into his mouth, and said shamelessly with his legs crossed: "You can't eat this? You know, I can eat more than a dozen strings of this stuff a day...hiss"

He was about to chew as he spoke, but just after taking a bite, he felt that the teeth he was using were about to be soured, and his mouth began to secrete saliva rapidly, and a little overflowed from the corners of his mouth that were not tightly pursed. He quickly closed his mouth and swallowed his saliva twice, and then he couldn't help but twist his face and pretend to be relaxed. Under Lian Qingyang's indescribable gaze, he half-swallowed the unchewed hawthorn pulp and hawthorn kernel.

Why is it so sour? Don’t let him have the chance to meet that black-hearted candied haws vendor again, otherwise he will definitely kick over that stall.

Lian Qingyang was completely unaware of his inner turmoil, but he simply admired the man. His face was filled with obvious admiration, and his voice rose and fell as he praised him sincerely, "Then you're really amazing. I just can't eat it. Can I eat that?"

He already knew that the things on the table were probably food brought to him by Luo Yichen, so he dared to make requests. In addition to playing the piano and growing flowers, Lian Qingyang seemed to have found new hobbies. It turned out that eating could also make him very happy.

Luo Yichen was so impressed by the compliment that he didn't even want to throw away the candied haws in his hand. He took another bite and raised his chin towards the food Lian Qingyang was pointing at: "That's called an egg and meat burger. It has a sweet and spicy sauce. Try it."

While Lian Qingyang was fully focused on the egg and meat burger, Luo Yichen finally had some free time. He grinned, chewed and swallowed with a distorted expression, and finished the string of candied haws with difficulty.

Seeing that Lian Qingyang had already eaten quite a bit, Luo Yichen resolutely collected all the remaining food and said they would eat it tomorrow. He then urged everyone to go upstairs to rest. He himself was not sleepy, so he simply took out the kitchen utensils he brought with him and placed them one by one in the kitchen.

After finishing up, he hummed a song as he went up to the attic. He changed the bedding on the bed, set up the table and chairs he had brought, and finally built a simple wardrobe, neatly placing his folded clothes inside. Of course, he couldn't forget the food either. He pulled out a thick stack of talismans and some miscellaneous professional ghost-hunting tools, pushed them next to the wardrobe, and hung a wind chime by the bed. These items filled the small attic space to the brim, giving him a sense of having put down roots there.

After finishing all these, Luo Yichen lay down on the bed, with a smile on his face, and whispered "good night" before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
