Chapter 511

The two set off at nine-thirty in the morning, got off the highway around twelve noon, drove to the city center of a nearby county-level city, and tasted several local specialties.

They were novel, but the taste wasn't exactly stunning.

After eating and drinking their fill, they asked the locals, drove to visit the city's most famous attraction, and took a few photos.

Saying it was the most famous was actually just a gimmick based on an ancient local scholar.

Aside from a few tourists, basically no locals came to visit.

After wandering around casually, the two left with little interest, got back on the highway, and headed straight for Xingcheng.

It was only an hour and a half away, and after the experience in the city at noon, they had no interest in getting off the highway to find places to play along the way.

By four in the afternoon, they had already exited the highway and entered Xingcheng.

Qin Tian had navigated to a hotel near a square where he had already booked a room. There were several famous food streets nearby, making it convenient for tasting food and sightseeing.

Following the navigation, the city scenery outside became increasingly prosperous, and the traffic on the road began to get crowded.

Through the car window, Xia Nuannuan had already seen many local specialty snack shops, some of which had long lines outside.

"Nuan Nuan, do you want to find a place to eat something first?"

Qin Tian noticed her impatient mood and suggested with a smile.

Hearing this, Xia Nuannuan immediately withdrew her gaze and said seriously, "No, what's the rush? Let's go to the hotel and drop off our things first!"

"Really don't want to?"

Qin Tian confirmed with a smile.

"Really don't want to. What are you doing? Am I really that gluttonous?"

Xia Nuannuan glanced at him with a reproachful look.

"Alright, let's go to the hotel then."

Qin Tian smiled and stopped teasing her.

After arriving at the hotel, they checked in at the front desk and then took their luggage upstairs.

They had booked a queen room; since everything that should have happened between them had already happened, there was no need to be overly coy.

Given their current financial strength, the hotel they booked was naturally of good quality. The room was quite clean and tidy, and all the amenities were new.

Being on a high floor in the twenties, the view was excellent. Looking out through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see a vast expanse of the prosperous city scenery.

It wasn't dark yet, but once night fell and the various neon lights turned on, it should be quite atmospheric.

"Brother, this room is really nice!"

Xia Nuannuan praised with a smile, clearly very satisfied.

"It is nice!"

Qin Tian nodded in agreement with a smile and walked over to flop onto the bed.

Driving for most of the day was indeed quite tiring.

"Do you want to rest for a while?"

Xia Nuannuan asked with concern.

Qin Tian turned over to lie on his back, opened his arms, and said, "If there were a great beauty for me to hold, my energy recovery speed would double."

Xia Nuannuan's face turned red, and she looked conflicted.

"Sigh, if only I could recover faster. There's so much good food on the food street tonight. I saw so many people eating while walking just now, it made me crave it so much, but I'm really a bit tired and don't want to move!"

Qin Tian kept his arms open, looking up at the ceiling and talking to himself.

Xia Nuannuan bit her lip lightly, walked over with a flushed face, lay down quietly beside him, and curled up in nervous shyness.

Qin Tian chuckled, turned on his side, and hugged her directly. He could feel her body tremble slightly.

"Just, just a hug, okay!"

"Mm, just a hug!"

After a moment.

"Your hand!"

"Uh, sorry, sorry, I'm used to it."

"Let go!"

"It's okay, just let me play a little, it helps me recover faster!"

"Ugh... you're too bad."

……

……

They stayed until it was dark outside before holding hands and walking out of the hotel.

A faint blush still lingered on Xia Nuannuan's pretty face, and she pouted angrily at someone in front of her.

Clearly, she had been bullied by that someone again just now.

The liveliest food street in Xingcheng was only a few hundred meters from their hotel, so Qin Tian didn't drive, instead walking hand-in-hand with Xia Nuannuan to the street.

It was the peak time for foot traffic on the street at night; the crowd was like a tide, filled with the enticing aromas of various delicacies.

Walking into the street, one could see shops on both sides selling all kinds of snacks, with almost every shop having customers queuing in front of it.

Many passersby were holding various foods, eating as they walked while searching for other delicacies.

Looking around, almost everyone on the street was young, and couples were walking hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm just like them.

There were too many people, and it would be easy to get separated if they weren't careful.

"Nuan Nuan, what should we eat first?"

Qin Tian turned his head and asked with a smile.

In this lively scene, and under the temptation of the various foods around, the slight resentment Xia Nuannuan felt earlier had vanished.

"Over there!"

Xia Nuannuan pointed her right index finger with burning eyes toward a shop with the longest line to the front left.

From the direction of the shop came a very familiar yet unique stench.

"Luo's Stinky Tofu!"

Seeing the sign, Qin Tian nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go try it then."

Xia Nuannuan nodded her little head.

The two arrived outside the stinky tofu shop and stood at the end of the line.

"Brother, it's a waste of time for us to wait here together. How about I go buy two drinks over there?"

Xia Nuannuan pointed to a milk tea shop ahead and suggested.

"That works too!"

Qin Tian nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you want to drink?"

"You decide, anything is fine."

"Alright, I'm going then!"

"Mm, just queue up for the milk tea there, don't go too far, let me be able to see you. There are too many people here, and the phone might not have a signal, so it'll be troublesome if we get separated."

Qin Tian instructed carefully.

"Got it."

Xia Nuannuan responded and then walked quickly toward the milk tea shop.

There was a line at the milk tea shop too, but significantly fewer people than at the stinky tofu stall.

After Xia Nuannuan stood at the end of the line, she raised her right arm with a bright smile and waved at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian had been watching her, and seeing this, he smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Afterward, they each waited in their respective lines.

Qin Tian took out his phone to check, and the signal was indeed very weak, with only one bar.

Looking up at Xia Nuannuan's side, his brow immediately furrowed.

He saw two young men standing next to Xia Nuannuan, saying something to her with smirks on their faces.

Xia Nuannuan had an impatient expression, as if she were trying to drive them away, and she even pointed in his direction, likely declaring that her boyfriend was right there.

However, the two young men only glanced over here once, then continued to hit on Xia Nuannuan dismissively.

Across the distance, with many pedestrians in between, and the two youths being slightly short, they probably hadn't seen Qin Tian at all.
