Chapter 516: A Taste of Something Heavy

Cai Xiaotang was startled by her own sudden thought.

Like?

She would like Li Xiao?

How is that possible!

Cai Xiaotang suddenly widened her eyes and took an incredulous glance at the person beside her.

Li Xiao had long since noticed her abnormality and finally couldn't help but speak: "If you have any other requests, you can just say them directly; you don't have to keep sneaking looks at me."

"I... I don't have any requests."

Cai Xiaotang quickly replied, deliberately turning her head to look out the car window, forcing herself not to look at him anymore.

One hour later—

The car finally stopped at the entrance of the busiest night market in the city.

It was already nearly nine o'clock in the evening, which was the busiest time for this place.

As soon as Cai Xiaotang saw the bustling crowd ahead, she immediately threw all her worries to the back of her mind, jumped out of the car excitedly, and then took a deep breath.

"Mmm... this is the smell! I haven't smelled this in a long time!"

As she spoke, she immediately ran toward the direction of the snack street.

Li Xiao parked the car and turned back, only to find that she was already in line behind the queue for octopus balls.

He hurriedly walked over and stood behind her.

"So greedy?"

Seeing Cai Xiaotang's eyes glued to the stall owner, Li Xiao asked with amusement.

Cai Xiaotang turned around immediately and said triumphantly: "You must have never eaten this, right? Once you eat it later, you'll know where the charm of the night market lies!"

"Hmm? Why would I have never eaten it? It's just octopus balls."

Li Xiao raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang looked at him with some disbelief: "Really? Shouldn't rich young masters like you eat food made by family chefs every day since birth? Your families shouldn't allow you to come to places like this and eat whatever you want, right?"

Her statement was not without foundation.

Because Mu Liusu was exactly like that, and could practically be said to avoid such places at all costs.

Li Xiao, however, shook his head and said with an inscrutable expression: "If I eat it, I eat it; isn't it fine as long as the family doesn't know?"

Cai Xiaotang: "..."

What he said didn't seem wrong either.

Since Li Xiao could be a gang leader now, he must have been disobedient at home when he was a child; he was definitely the kind of brat who would insist on doing whatever his family forbade!

"Why did you stop talking? Are you secretly scolding me in your heart?"

Li Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, abruptly pulling back Cai Xiaotang's train of thought.

She went stiff all over in an instant and hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, I was just a bit surprised. I originally wanted to let you taste something you'd never eaten, but since you've already had it, I don't need to be your tour guide anymore."

Li Xiao smiled, but suddenly thought of something and reminded her: "Today is just an exception. Starting tomorrow, you must honestly train at home; you can only come to places like this to wander around at most two days a week."

"Ah? You want me to train five days a week?"

Cai Xiaotang's face fell instantly. Thinking of how she was already panting after practicing just one or two moves today, she suddenly didn't want to train anymore.

But she also knew Li Xiao was doing it for her own good, so she had to bargain: "Can it be a few days less? How about training three days a week? I've never practiced these things before, so we have to take it step by step..."

"You've only practiced for one day, and you already want to welch on the deal?"

Li Xiao ruthlessly exposed her little scheme.

Cai Xiaotang pouted at him.

Then, suddenly thinking of something, her eyes lit up and she said: "Then how about we make a bet!"

"Oh? What do you want to bet?"

Li Xiao became interested upon hearing this.

A look of excitement flashed in the depths of Cai Xiaotang's eyes. She pretended to think for a moment before saying: "I remember you told me before that when it comes to food... you're basically not picky, right?"

"Hmm, that's right."

Li Xiao calmly admitted.

A trace of irrepressible, triumphant laughter appeared on the corners of Cai Xiaotang's lips: "Then let's bet that if I can find something you dare not eat, we'll do as I say and train three days a week! If you dare to eat it, then we'll do as you say and train five days!"

"OK, no problem."

Li Xiao was not worried at all and agreed without even thinking.

Then, as soon as his voice fell, he heard Cai Xiaotang excitedly say: "Then it's a deal! You help me wait in line here, don't run around, I'll be back soon!"

As Cai Xiaotang spoke, she had already run half a meter away.

Li Xiao watched her figure disappear into the crowd with amusement and had no choice but to resign himself to continuing to wait in line.

On the other side—

Cai Xiaotang followed her memory and quickly found a small stall located at the end of the night market.

She stood in front of the stall, quickly scanned it with a frown, and then pointed to one of the items: "Hello, I'll have this one!"

The stall owner immediately took the item down with a smile and put it into their oil pan.

Ten minutes later, it was handed back into Cai Xiaotang's hands.

Looking at the snack in her hand, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but reveal a "wicked" smile.

Hmph!

You dare to eat anything?

Then just wait to take on this challenge!

She carefully hid her hand behind her back and hurriedly rushed back toward the entrance of the night market.

As soon as she arrived nearby, she saw Li Xiao already standing under a tree not far away.

It was as if he carried his own aura; within a two or three-meter radius around him, there was surprisingly not a single person.

Just from his back, one could tell he was somewhat out of place with the surrounding crowd.

Yet, he happened to be holding a small box with a cartoon pattern, which was the takoyaki he had just bought from nearby.

It made many young girls passing by cast envious glances, envious of the person he was waiting for.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but stare, feeling a bit dazed.

Why did it feel like this guy had become even more handsome?

As she thought this, she suddenly came to her senses and shook her head violently.

What was she letting her imagination run wild for again?

She had been acting too strangely lately...

Cai Xiaotang forcibly suppressed the strange thoughts in her mind and ran over quickly.

Just as she stood behind him, Li Xiao had already turned around.

"Back? What did you buy?"

Li Xiao had been waiting for a long time and had already been incredibly curious.

Cai Xiaotang hid her right hand behind her back, and upon hearing him ask, a big smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Of course I bought you something good!"

As she spoke, she slowly brought out the hand she had been hiding behind her back.

Then she announced loudly: "Look! What is this!"

Li Xiao saw clearly what she was holding in her hand and was indeed taken aback.

Immediately after, he felt somewhat amused and exasperated.

Had he thought too highly of her?

This woman really didn't leave him any room at all!

He had thought it would at most be stinky tofu or some other strong-smelling food, but he never expected it to be this!

Seeing that he didn't speak, the expression on Cai Xiaotang's face became even more smug.

"Scared, aren't you? Deep! Fried! Big! Scorpions! Have you never seen these before?"
