The Rationalist's Marriage

Ding Ye also walked towards him.

"Did you wait long?" Qiu Yuening asked.

"No, I just came down."

It wasn't too late, but the surroundings were quiet. After passing two buildings, I saw a couple walking their dog. The dog barked twice, sharp and high-pitched, and the lingering sound lingered. The owner immediately grabbed the rope and reprimanded him.They go around.

It's neither hot nor cold at this time, and it's just right to wear short sleeves.After autumn, the air is drier and not as sticky as it was a while ago, so it is very comfortable to walk around casually.

Ding Ye was next to Qiu Yuening, his eyes followed the shadows under their feet, and then he raised his head and glanced beside him, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Where to eat?"

"Ah."

"Yes, yes," Qiu Yuening hesitated, "it's just...many people don't eat it."

Ding Ye stopped for a while, "Then take me there."

"You don't even ask what I am?"

He didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it better to have a little surprise?"

It was not the first time Qiu Yuening heard similar words from him. Ding Ye seemed to have a strange attachment to surprise or mystery.

"It's not necessarily a surprise," Qiu Yuening held his hand firmly, "but I can take you there."

Ding Ye understood: "Let's go."

After leaving the compound of the community, they immediately felt the excitement around them.Surrounded by several small roads, there are various small shops along the road. Despite this, the flow of people is very large - nearby residents or passengers catching a plane can always find a place for a light meal on the street.

Most of the small restaurants have tables and chairs outside, the waiters are busy coming in and out, some tables are piled with rows of wine bottles, the diners are already drunk, chanting nonsense that outsiders cannot understand.

"There are quite a lot of people at night." Ding Ye glanced casually.

"That's right," Qiu Yuening said, "it's not very clean either."

In the past, when Ding Ye proposed to move here, the excuses he made were really not clever enough.

The two walked past the noisy shops and wine tables, and walked around to the back of the community compound.Qiu Yuening said that there is an alley here, through which is the house he used to go to.

The alley was very narrow, no vehicles passed by, and the two walked arm in arm in the middle of the road.The residential buildings on both sides are old houses from many years ago, and most of the residents seem to be older.They saw a few old people sitting around a small table, chatting while drinking tea, and a coil of mosquito coil was lit beside the table, and thick sandalwood was overflowing.

There are several shops on the first floor.The dumpling shop was deserted, and the owner leaned against the door, chatting enthusiastically with the owner of the small shop next door.The owner of the barbecue stand set up a stove at the door of his house, flipping the ingredients with his hands flexibly.

When they passed by, the man raised his head and said, "Handsome guy, do you want to sit inside?"

They had other goals, smiled and waved their hands, and then walked forward.

The place Qiu Yuening said was at the intersection of the alley and another road. Afraid that Ding Ye would be disappointed, he took a precaution: "If you don't like it, find another one."

Ding Ye thought it was some kind of dark cuisine, but when he came to him, he found that the main dish of the shop was Suo Luo.

The signboard with yellow characters on the red background is particularly eye-catching in the night. It is also a small shop, but it may have a good reputation and a better location. It is more popular than the few in the alley, and the inside is basically full.

"Do you dare to eat it?" Qiu Yuening asked.

"Why don't you dare?" Ding Ye felt that he was too cautious.

"My mother and Chengcheng don't eat it," Qiu Yuening explained after the two sat down, "Chengcheng said that he lost his appetite just looking at it."

Ding Ye has never eaten it, but it is not because of rejection, it is purely ignorance, and he has never thought about pursuing new experiences in eating.Not only eating, but many things, he has no desire to try when he is alone.

The proprietress moved quickly, handing over their order to her husband, cleaning the table and setting the tableware quickly.

"Handsome, have you been here before?" She recognized Qiu Yuening.

"Well, a few times."

"My memory is correct," she poured tea for them, "do you fly a plane?"

"Ah... yes." Qiu Yuening didn't know how she could tell, he even changed his clothes.

"I just said that it looks like a lot of my guests here are flying planes, and there are flight attendants..." The proprietress is enthusiastic and curious, "Have you been to all parts of the world?"

"I've only been flying for a few years," Qiu Yuening said with a smile, "I've only been to Australia and Southeast Asia."

"That's not bad, like us...have never been out of the country before," she said with a smile on her face, "Sit down first, and I'll help you get the food!"

"Thank you."

Suo snails are stir-fried with ginger, garlic and chili, and then boiled in bone broth. It has a lot of umami and pungent taste.Qiu Yuening usually doesn't dare to eat, just in case of stomach discomfort during work.The holidays are different and allow for a little more indulgence.

"It's a bit strong." He felt that Ding Ye's usual taste was relatively light, so he specially reminded him.

"Fortunately."

There is only that part that can be eaten, and it needs to be picked out from the shell with a toothpick; it is not something that can fill the stomach, but more like eating for the hard-won umami and fun.

Ding Ye operated according to the method Qiu Yuening told him, and his movements were slow and orderly. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Qiu Yuening's expression, and he seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"Anything fun?" he asked.

"Yes," Qiu Yuening blurted out, and then turned into a shy look, "That time I said I would take you for supper, today I have a chance."

"Just because of this?"

"Hmm." It seems like it's not worth mentioning, but Qiu Yuening can easily change his mood because of trivial things.

Ding Ye thought of the experience when he accompanied him to buy a tie two years ago, and the other party also showed such an expression, and an undercurrent similar to that at that time stirred up in his heart.

"Is there anything you want to do tomorrow?" Qiu Yuening said again, "I can still accompany you."

"Tomorrow..." The undercurrent stopped, Ding Ye's thoughts returned to reality, rational planning prevailed, "I was just about to tell you that I made an appointment with a client to see the venue tomorrow afternoon, so..."

Probably because of being often accommodated by the other party, Qiu Yuening realized that he had completely ignored the possibility that Ding Ye might have a job, so he changed his words embarrassingly: "Sorry, I forgot to ask if you have time... then I will wait for you, don't worry work."

His expression was relaxed, and his mood was not affected by the unexpected news, which made Ding Ye feel relieved.

The rapids in the deep sea turned into clear streams in the mountains, caressing the restless heart.They are now in a relationship that actually lives together.He was immersed in this comfort, and it took him a while to think of answering the other party: "Okay."

The next afternoon, Ding Ye went out.Qiu Yuening was fine. He checked the next month's schedule and found that he slept out for a few days.Although he doesn't like spending the night in a hotel, there's nothing he can do about it. He still has some mental preparations for this.

He wanted to continue making egg tarts until Ding Ye came back, but the flour and butter were running out.Idle is also idle, he went to the supermarket, and when he came out, he saw a motionless figure standing at the door, because his back was facing him, he didn't know who it was, but he thought it looked familiar.

He walked forward and took a second look when he passed by the other party, and it turned out to be Lu Yang.
