Even though Long Yi was a man with relatively good strength, carrying several pots of flowers around on a crowded street was exhausting, and he sat down to take a break.
Next to him, the cries of street vendors rang out incessantly...
"Ice sugar gourd for sale."
"Rose pastries and osmanthus cakes for sale."
Long Yi stood up without a word, ran to the sugar gourd vendor, pulled out two wen of money from his pocket, bought a string of ice sugar gourds, and ran back.
"Little Xia, here, have some sugar gourds."
"Hey!"
Upon seeing the sugar gourds, Zi Xia's eyes lit up. She reached out to take them, licked them once while bringing them up to her mouth, and closed her eyes in bliss, "Mmm, so sweet, so delicious."
An entire day of exertion, finally something tasty to eat. Running around the streets carrying flower pots all day was indeed too miserable.
After taking a few bites, Zi Xia noticed Long Yi's empty hands and him watching her eat with a smile.
