King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Ning Caicai drove smoothly to the most luxurious area of ​​Jiangcheng, Jiangcheng Pedestrian Street.

This place holds an indelible regret for her.

Although she secretly came here alone after Ye Lan left.

But she couldn't muster the slightest interest in people, events, or scenery.

Like a man named Yang Wei, looking at a prostitute with indifference.

An overwhelming sadness welled up in my otherwise indifferent heart.

Ye Lan had promised to bring her to the pedestrian street, and he did keep his promise.

But he brought his whole family with him.

That wasn't the feeling Ning Caicai wanted.

What she wanted was to walk hand in hand with Ye Lan on the pedestrian street.

Listen to the hustle and bustle of the crowd and the shouts of the vendors, and feel the bright sunshine and gentle breeze.

However, for Ning Caicai now, such a scene can only be realized in her dreams.

After all, Ye Lan is now married and has established a career.

In addition, since we see each other all the time, if something like that really happened, the relationship between us would be very awkward.

"Aunt Ning, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Yunzhou tugged at the hand that Ning Caicai was holding and raised her little face.

"I'm wondering how the roasted pig's trotters at that restaurant taste."

"Aunt Ning, I also want to eat pig's trotters."

"Shall we go buy two and try them?"

"Let's buy one and share it."

"Why? Even though your Aunt Ning is the poorest in our family, it's not like buying one more roasted pig's trotter would bankrupt us."

Ye Yunzhou looked up, his smile as bright as Ye Lan's.

"Because I want to save room to try other delicious foods."

Looking at the warm, spring-like smile in front of her, Ning Caicai was momentarily dazed.

It felt like I had returned to that rented room from ten years ago.

A young man was taking meticulous care of his hangover self, his smile as bright as sunshine.

The key figure is Ye Yunzhou, Ye Lan's biological son.

The two looked exactly alike.

It's hard for Ning Caicai not to feel a sense of identification with this.

The person accompanying her and taking her shopping seemed to be the same Ye Lan from back then.

"Let's just consider it the son paying for the father's debts."

A smile appeared on Ning Caicai's lips.

Looking at the crowded pedestrian street, she raised her arms high, her smile as bright and captivating as a flower blooming in spring.

"Let's go, let's start shopping!"

The city of Jiangcheng, which had already entered autumn, did not feel cold.

Although there were gusts of wind, they brought waves of heat, somewhat like Zhou Yu's first skill, [East Wind Rising].

It charged forward, carrying its second skill, [Fire Arrow].

The pedestrian street is one of the three major attractions in Jiangcheng. Even though it's a weekday, the crowds are still as big as a tide.

When there are many people, the air does not circulate easily.

Adding to the fact that the wind blowing by had a smell of the Battle of Red Cliffs, Ning Caicai's forehead was soon covered in sweat.

However, tourist attractions with large visitor traffic, such as pedestrian streets, are designed with many rest areas in mind.

There's a flower bed every three steps and a deck chair every five steps.

However, there were many people resting, and Ning Caicai didn't like sitting with strangers.

So we walked for a long time before finally finding an empty seat.

Just as he was about to plop down on the chair, Ye Yunzhou spread his coat on the chair.

Ning Caicai was a little confused.

“The outdoor seats are not clean, and Aunt Ning, you are wearing a white dress, which will easily get dirty. Please use my coat as a mat.”

Ning Caicai couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Xiao Zhou, are you very popular with girls at school?"

Ye Yunzhou smiled innocently, "Yes, many girls in the class want to marry me when they grow up."

Actually, Ning Caicai could understand it too.

Humans have a natural inclination to appreciate beauty.

It's really hard not to like a guy like Ye Yunzhou, who is handsome, academically excellent, and considerate.

In this respect, she is somewhat similar to Ye Lan.

She's already incurring romantic entanglements at such a young age; what will she do when she grows up?

"Selling candied hawthorns and rock candied hawthorns."

An old man carrying a straw target on his shoulder, with bright red candied hawthorns stuck on it, walked past the two of them.

Ning Caicai was captivated by the glistening candied hawthorns and couldn't take her eyes off them.

Ye Yunzhou noticed the commotion beside him and immediately got up and ran over.

"Grandpa, how much is a skewer of candied hawthorns?"

"The one on top is 25, and the one on the bottom is 30."

Ye Yunzhou tilted his head, his clear eyes filled with confusion.

He slowly opened his mouth, his childish voice ringing out, revealing a few baby teeth.

"These two candied hawthorns look exactly the same, so why are they priced differently?"

The old man gave a meaningful smile.

"The one on top has a pit, while the one on the bottom doesn't, so it's a bit more expensive."

"But Grandpa, I don't understand why we have to sell them separately like this."

"Because some boys don't mind the hassle, they value cost-effectiveness when it comes to food. If they're just having a simple craving, they'll choose the top option, but if they're with their girlfriend, they'll choose the bottom option."

Ye Yunzhou nodded thoughtfully and pulled out a wad of banknotes from his pocket. "Grandpa, give me a string of candied hawthorns."

As he handed a string of pitted candied hawthorns to Ye Yunzhou, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "Kids these days are so mature! They're already dating before they've even finished losing their baby teeth."

"I'd better leave first; it'll be too late to run if they find out."

As the old man disappeared quickly, Ye Yunzhou happily handed the candied hawthorn to Ning Caicai.

"Aunt Ning, this is a candied hawthorn I bought for you. Try it and see if it's good."

Ning Caicai happily accepted it, took off a candied hawthorn and put it in her mouth.

With a snap, I bit through the crystal-clear sugar coating.

The sweetness instantly filled my mouth.

Next comes the sourness of the hawthorn.

The taste of candied hawthorn is just like unrequited love. The first taste is a sweet surrender wrapped in sugar, but only after biting into it do you understand the heart-wrenching sourness.

But no matter how sour the aftertaste may be.

The first taste of sweetness was truly sweet.

Moreover, the sour taste awakened Ning Caicai's taste buds, and she ate four or five in a row before feeling a bit tired of it and stopping.

Ye Yunzhou stared longingly at him.

Ning Caicai found it a little funny, "Little Yunzhou, would you like to try one too?"

Ye Yunzhou licked his lips. "But I'm losing my baby teeth, and my mom won't let me eat anything too sweet."

"It's okay, it won't hurt to eat one, and I'll keep it a secret for you."

Ye Yunzhou was already craving something, and now that he heard about it, he was a little tempted. "Then I'll try one."

After saying that, he took the candied hawthorn skewers that Ning Caicai handed him.

Take a candied hawthorn and put it in your mouth.

With a hard bite, a crunching sound.

Ye Yunzhou's baby tooth shattered with a crack.

Intense pain instantly swept through my mouth.

Ning Caicai's eyes widened. "No way, you knocked out your teeth by biting into the candy coating?"

Baby teeth are fragile, but not to this extent.

Ye Yunzhou burst into tears and wailed.

"This candied hawthorn has a pit; that old man lied to me."
