Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

As lunchtime gradually passed, fewer and fewer people were still browsing in the market, and the continuous hawking sounds that had been emanating from all around also disappeared.

There were still about half a cart of oranges left. Huang Chen calculated that he had already earned more than 500 yuan. He estimated that he could sell them all when the foot traffic picked up again in the afternoon. He turned to look at Shi Wanmeng, only to find her staring blankly at the roasted sweet potato stall in the distance.

Looking at the time, it was almost 1 o'clock. Huang Chen guessed that she probably hadn't eaten much since she came to record the show that morning, and she must be hungry by now. He took out the change box next to him, counted out 50 yuan, and handed it to her: "Here, take this. See if there's anything you like to eat. I don't have much money, this is all I can give you."

Shi Wanmeng suddenly turned around, happily took the wad of money, and nodded quickly: "That's a lot, enough, enough, hehe." Her eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back with a smile: "Then please keep an eye on the shop, I'll bring you some food." After saying that, she skipped and jumped away.

Seeing Shi Wanmeng radiating happiness, Huang Chen's usually cold poker face couldn't hold back anymore; the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes shone with tenderness.

[Sobbing, my girlish heart is fluttering!]

Even if I only have one breath left, I'll still shout it out: We're a perfect match!!

Huang Chen is so doting; it doesn't seem like acting.

My daughter is such a sweet girl! She's so happy with just 50 yuan. She's been snatched away by that rascal!

It's already good enough if you can count out 50 coins from that box.

Shi Wanmeng only had 50 yuan in her pocket, but she felt like a rich woman. She asked around and looked at everything in the market with great curiosity, like a curious child. Before long, she was carrying several bags filled with the delicacies she had carefully selected.

Seeing the crowd gathered in front of her, Shi Wanmeng walked over to see what gossip was going on. Unexpectedly, standing in the middle of the crowd were Su Muqing and Bai Zhu, who were busily weighing sweet potatoes for customers. After admiring their busy work, she was about to turn around and leave when the sharp-eyed Bai Zhu spotted her.

After handing the goods to the customer, Bai Zhu happily waved in Shi Wanmeng's direction: "Wanmeng, what brings you here? Come and chat for a while!"

Shi Wanmeng shook her head and said with a smile, "No, I have to go back to check on the stall. You guys keep busy."

After speaking, they continued walking forward and, unsurprisingly, saw two other groups. Observing from a distance, Gu Ling and Li Zhao's corn stall seemed to be doing decent business, although it appeared that Li Zhao was busy most of the time. As expected, Yuan Xin and Zhou Ran's geese weren't selling much; occasionally someone would ask about them, but they would quickly leave. Yuan Xin remained expressionless, probably expecting this situation, while Zhou Ran looked somewhat impatient.

After reviewing her competitors' information, Shi Wanmeng leisurely walked towards her stall, carrying her bag. As she walked, a strange feeling began to stir within her. She suddenly turned around and saw a young girl who had been standing next to her when she bought roasted sweet potatoes earlier, now watching her from a short distance away. Seeing her turn around, the girl immediately turned away.

Thinking it was just a curious child, she didn't think much of it and continued walking. After walking a dozen meters, she turned around again, and the little girl was still following her.

Without hesitation, Shi Wanmeng stepped forward and squatted down under the little girl's slightly evasive gaze. She softened her voice and asked, "Little girl, is there something you need from me?"

The little girl was dressed neatly and cleanly, with rosy skin and big eyes; she was very cute. She had a bow in her hair, wore a pink dress, and her white shoes were spotless. She didn't look like a child from a nearby village.

The little girl thought she had hidden herself well, but when she suddenly saw Shi Wanmeng standing in front of her, she was a little scared and said timidly, "Auntie, I'm hungry."

Hearing the little girl's soft, sweet voice, Shi Wanmeng felt as if she were stepping on something soft, her heart melting. Her voice unconsciously softened as she asked, "Little girl, where are your mom and dad?"

"I don't know," the little girl said a little embarrassedly, "I only watched the ring toss game for a while, and then I didn't see Aunt Yang anymore."

Shi Wanmeng instantly understood that the girl had gotten lost from her family. However, the coincidence was too great, and she strongly suspected that it was a task arranged by the production team. Shi Wanmeng had no choice but to take the little girl's hand and give her the chicken cake she had bought: "Here, eat this, take your time."

The little girl obediently accepted the cake, smiled sweetly, and whispered, "Thank you, Auntie."

"You're welcome." Patting the little girl's head, Shi Wanmeng became even more certain that this girl must come from a well-off family, given her good upbringing.

Ahhh, so cute! Girls are just so sweet and soft!

This little girl has put so much effort into her appearance; her family must be worried, right?

[Wanmeng looks so cute when she's clipped up, please keep talking like that from now on, hahaha]

[Could this girl be an NPC from the show? It doesn't make sense that her family hasn't come looking for her after all this time.]

After buying some more fruit at the market, Shi Wanmeng led the child back to the orange stall.

Huang Chen was puzzled to see that this time, one person had come and another had been given away.

Shi Wanmeng took a small stool, let the little girl sit down first, then pulled Huang Chen aside and told him about what had just happened and her suspicions.

Huang Chen looked at the little girl carefully and somewhat agreed with Shi Wanmeng's guess, but still said in a low voice, "No matter what, we can't just leave her like this. Let her sit here for a while and see if any parents come looking for her. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something else."

Shi Wanmeng nodded: "Okay."

Huang Chen knelt down in front of the little girl, trying to put on a gentle expression, and said softly, "Little sister, what's your name? Can you tell your brother?"

The little girl looked at the handsome young man in front of her without any suspicion: "My name is Mu Yajun."

Huang Chen was about to say something when Shi Wanmeng, standing behind him, interrupted him, her voice full of displeasure: "Brother? What are you pretending to be so young for?"

Huang Chen glanced back at Shi Wanmeng's face, which was filled with "I'm not happy," and suddenly realized what she meant. He asked, "Little sister Ya Jun, what did you call her?"

Little Mu Yajun tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, and said, "Auntie~"

"Pfft~"

Hearing this innocent answer, Huang Chen could no longer hold back and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled.

"Hey, stop laughing! You're not allowed to laugh!!" Shi Wanmeng was embarrassed and angry, her face slightly red, and she pushed him with her hand.

Huang Chen plopped down on the ground, lowered his head, and laughed even harder.

My ship is from a different generation, hahaha!

[This young couple is so sweet!]

Huang Chen's neck was red from laughing.

These two are definitely going to work out, or I'll do a handstand while I poop!!

Don't push yourself too hard at the beginning!
