Besides, An'an and Xu Chengcheng had been traveling for a long time, and as soon as they entered the house, they couldn't help but collapse. Although Li Jingyue was a man, he was thoughtful and knew that his niece and friend were coming, so he specially prepared a room for them. Everything in the room was new, including the sheets and quilt covers.

  However, in the unfamiliar environment, the two girls looked at each other and An An suggested, "Let's take a break and go out later!", otherwise it would be too tiring, her body couldn't handle it, and she was super hungry now. Although they had eaten on the train, it wasn't as comfortable as eating at home.

  Xu Chengcheng echoed, "I'm not running now either." Mentioning this, she smiled unkindly, "And I don't know how my cheap sister is doing?" Not to mention that she was vicious, as long as Xu Yingying was unhappy, she would be happy. On the contrary, Xu Yingying was the same, as long as Xu Chengcheng was unhappy, Xu Yingying would be happy.

  An An was packing her luggage when she heard Xu Cheng Cheng's words, and her hands paused for a moment. "It should be uncomfortable!" Not just uncomfortable, it was extremely uncomfortable. After An An and the others left, Xu Cheng Cheng and He An Shun suddenly found themselves in an unfamiliar place with little money on them. Food and shelter were both problems, and they had fallen to a point where they didn't know the local customs or people, and they really felt like dying.

  An'an can guess some of it, those two are having a tough time.

  An'an and Chengcheng exchanged a smile, like a sly little fox. Li Jingyue had just entered the house when he found that these two girls were laughing in an unusual way. He washed the fruit he brought from outside and put it on the table, curiously asking, "What happy thing did you think of?"

  Smiling with pursed lips, but not saying a word.

  Xu Chengcheng didn't hesitate at all, and said bluntly, "Knowing that Xu Yingying is having a hard time makes us happy." This grudge has been brewing for a long time.

  Li Jingyue chuckled, "Kids!", then pointed to the fruit in the plate, all of which were in season, and said, "You two take a rest first, Uncle will take you out to eat at the restaurant later."

  An'an and Xu Chengcheng nodded in unison, they were both big girls now. Li Jingyue was an uncle after all, so he had to avoid suspicion. After delivering the fruit, he left.

  Maybe she was too tired, Anan's habit of recognizing the bed also disappeared, and she fell asleep as soon as she lay down. When she woke up, it was already after 5 pm. After tidying up with Xu Chengcheng, they dressed up neatly. Anan put on her clothes and followed Li Jingyue out the door.

  The streets of Shanghai are very lively, and Li Jingyue is a local snake here, where there are good food and fun, basically one clear two. Moreover, after many years of hard work, Li Jingyue also bought a small car, looking quite stylish.

  He took An'an and Chengcheng directly to the small alley, where the food is delicious! Normally, the taste of large restaurants can't compare with that of old shops in small alleys that have been open for decades.

  Those are all passed down from old craftsmen, the taste is unique, ordinary people can't find such a place.

  After a series of twists and turns, they finally arrived at the place. The boss of the shop saw that it was Li Jingyue who had come, obviously a familiar person, and immediately greeted him, "Mr. Li is here! Please sit inside." One of the bosses' wives saw that Li Jingyue had brought two little girls with her, and she started joking on the spot, "What's wrong today? You've actually brought two little girls to eat together!" Usually, it was always Li Jingyue who came alone, this was a rare guest.

  "This is my niece, she came from home to Shanghai for a two-day trip."

  The boss's wife smiled and carefully sized up An'an and Chengcheng, praising them. "Your family is blessed with good fortune, these girls are so beautiful! One is as lovely as the other." Not at all like they're from a small town, if they were in Shanghai, they'd be considered elegant and refined young ladies from a wealthy family.

  No matter in which era, there will always be a gap between the rich and the poor. Even after going through the darkest ten years, everything is just starting anew, and that's when the most primitive and barbaric growth occurs, with a speed that can be quite startling.

  Shanghai, as an old-brand big city, has a keen sense of smell and information. In some ways, it is the leader among various cities. This statement is not wrong. For example, Gu Wei Qiang often drove cars before. If he wanted to buy something special for his daughter and son, he would ask his colleagues who drove from Shanghai to bring them back.

  Due to Shanghai's good geographical location and convenient transportation, the variety of goods is also diverse. As for people in Shanghai, because they receive first-hand information, their spiritual outlook is much better than those in small cities.

  An An thinks that from the way people dress on the street, many girls have permed hair, wear nylon blouses and some even wear high heels. What's more, some bolder ones even wear cheongsam dresses when going out. You know, in this era, most people in cities still wear ordinary grey-blue loose-fitting shirts. It's really rare to see someone wearing a cheongsam that accentuates their figure.

  In Taoyuan County, the general attire of a polyester-collared shirt is mostly worn by school students. After all, one piece of clothing is too expensive for ordinary families and no elderly person would be willing to wear it. However, it's different here, some middle-aged women in their 30s and 40s also dress very fashionably.

  As for cheongsam, An'an dares to say that they have moved to Taishan County for so long and have never seen anyone wearing a cheongsam, let alone walking on the street.

  Take the boss lady in front of me, for example. Although she is busy collecting money and occasionally clearing tables, I don't know how much more fashionable she is than the aunties from Taoyuan County in terms of dressing up!

  A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, hearing others praise her for being pretty, couldn't help but feel happy! An'an smiled with pursed lips, and a pair of small dimples became even more adorable, "Sister is the one who's beautiful." Xu Chengcheng hastily nodded in agreement. She thought that her mom was already good at dressing up, but compared to the old lady boss in front of her, she still fell short by a bit. As for speaking ill of her own mother, Xu Chengcheng didn't feel even half a bit guilty - she was just telling the truth.

  The boss's wife waved her hand, "You little ones are really sweet, Auntie will give you a discount today." Of course, the boss's wife wouldn't reduce the price just because of Anan and the others' two sentences, but more because she was giving face to Li Jingyue.

  "Thank you, sister!", The house is not very big, with only four tables set up, which were almost all filled with people, and each table had a lot of food on it.

  They came at the right time, the table in front had just left, and Anan and his friends sat down. Li Jingyue directly invited them to try some of the restaurant's specialties, saying "I'll order a few dishes for you to try, if they're good, you can come back next time." He was an old regular at this restaurant, having eaten here since he first came to Shanghai many years ago, and had grown accustomed to their flavor.

  Also didn't treat Anan and Chengcheng as outsiders, directly brought them to this small alley, which is what Li Jingyue thinks is better than the big restaurants outside.

  An An and Xu Chengcheng naturally had no opinion, after all they were both here for the first time, of course they weren't as familiar with the good food here as Li Jingyue. He called out to the boss's wife, "I want three bowls of osmanthus sugar congee, and three scallion oil pancakes, if you have fried dough sticks give me five." After finishing speaking, he turned his head around and saw two little girls swallowing their saliva, he couldn't help but laugh and comfort them, "It'll be here soon, hold on a bit."

  No, An saw the person at the next table eating scallion pancakes. Nowadays, people really know how to enjoy food. The golden scallion pancake was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a sprinkle of finely chopped scallions on top, and the oil was sizzling and smoking.

  An An's appetite was greatly boosted by watching. Her first reaction was that it would be great if Brother Yan were here, and her second reaction was that she thought about what that overbearing person was doing.

  Seeing An's unpredictable expression, Xu Chengcheng waved his hand and said curiously, "An, the pancake is ready, I've called you three times." An stared at the scallion oil pancake in front of her, which was emitting smoke, and she was stunned for a moment. "Ah! Oh! Good!", only then did she come back to her senses.

  Xu Chengcheng looked at An An with a strange expression, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed?"

  Before An could respond, Li Jing teased, "Afraid you're thinking of your little lover, huh?" With someone as experienced as him, a glance was all it took to basically know what the young girl was thinking, and he could pretty much guess eight or nine out of ten.

  Others see through and say it, making An's small face hot. She felt a little embarrassed, thinking of what happened during the day, she apologized to Li Jingyue, "My friend was just too worried about me during the day, don't mind."

  Li Jingyue picked up the osmanthus sugar porridge and took a sip, waving her hand with the scallion oil pancake, "Nothing's wrong, that young man is also worried about you. If I had such an object, I wouldn't know how to secretly enjoy it!" Li Jingyue was obviously helping Lu Yan speak well! After all, men pity men, especially those who pursue objects, and they are even more pitiful, wanting to hold him in their arms and soon hug the beautiful person back.

  An An sneered, "He helped me take charge and it became my good fortune?"

  Li Jingyue also stopped eating, directly putting down her bowl, and said seriously, "Isn't it good fortune? When you're older, you'll know how hard it is to meet someone who thinks of you every moment."

  An An fell silent for a moment, and Yan Ge was good to her, she wasn't unaware, it's just...

  She paused for a moment, her tone also became more serious, apparently taking Li Jingyue's words to heart. "Uncle, I understand." She called him Uncle, which meant she didn't consider Li Jingyue an outsider, but not someone who could say such intimate things in front of her either.

  An An is a straightforward person, at least more so than her own careless niece. She's the type who gets it right away, and Li Jingyu likes dealing with people like that - smart and easy to talk to.

  Of course, it's also good if she is a niece from another family, that's called foolish people have foolish blessings.

  Didn't see him and An An had exchanged a few words, her own silly niece was still eating scallion pancakes and licking her fingers, completely ignoring what the two of them were saying.

  An An followed Li Jing Yue's gaze and looked over, the smile at the corner of her lips deepened a few points. "Cheng Cheng is like this, if we were bad people, who knows, maybe they would have already sold her."

  "What? Selling who?" Xu Chengcheng asked with a satisfied expression, his mouth still greasy from eating.

  Her silly appearance made Anan and Li Jingyue burst out laughing, Li Jingyue's face rarely showed a few degrees of warmth, he smiled and explained, "Eat! No one is selling you."

  Although he is only a few years older than Xu Chengcheng, their experiences are completely different. If Li Jingyue is the wild grass outside, having experienced wind and rain, then Xu Chengcheng is a greenhouse flower, one of those with fertile soil, carefree every day.

  Seeing Xu Chengcheng's silly smile, Li Jingyue turned her head to Anan and said, "Anan, I didn't take you as an outsider either. You get along well with Chengcheng and live relatively close to her home. If there's anything that needs help after going back, just give me a call if you can't decide!"

  He's preparing for a rainy day, worried that Xu Weibing, the scoundrel, would bully his own sister and niece behind their backs.

  An an hesitated for a moment, emphasizing, "Cheng Cheng is my friend." These few words fully expressed her relationship with Xu Chengcheng. Without Li Jingyue's reminder, if something happened to Chengcheng, she naturally wouldn't ignore it.

  "Alright, alright, alright!", Li Jingyue said with a smile. Chengcheng was a careless and reckless person, but with clever Anan by his side to keep an eye on things, he could feel somewhat at ease.

  The two of them chatted, Xu Chengcheng ate with relish, raised his head and said, "If you don't eat now, it'll get cold!"

  An An first picked up a coarse ceramic bowl, took a small sip of osmanthus sugar congee, sweet but not greasy, melted in the mouth, with a hint of light osmanthus fragrance. An An's eyes lit up, like a little fox, immediately lowered her head and pecked at it a few more times. She said, how did Cheng Cheng eat? They didn't even bother to respond, it was so delicious!

  Once you start eating, you just can't stop!

  Cheng Cheng didn't forget An An, and hastily pushed the plate of scallion oil pancakes in front of An An, introducing them enthusiastically. "Try this scallion oil pancake, it's even more delicious! Better than all the food in Taishan County." She wasn't lying, although Xu Cheng Cheng had only moved to Taishan County a few years ago, she was already familiar with all the hidden gems and alleys where good food could be found.

  Seeing Xu Cheng's enthusiasm, An An put down the coarse ceramic bowl with osmanthus sugar congee and directly took a bite of the scallion oil pancake with her hand. As soon as she took a bite, the scallion oil pancake was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making a slight crunching sound when biting into it. The pancake wrapped in lard touched her lips and teeth, bringing a subtle fragrance that was hard to describe, not greasy at all, making people more and more irresistible.

  An An thinks that, without mentioning anything else, just this scallion pancake, she can eat three in one breath.

  After taking a few bites, An said seriously, "It's really delicious!", after finishing, her words were unclear, "Young uncle, the scallion pancake is not enough." But no, didn't see that Xu Chengcheng's own scallion pancake had been eaten to the bottom, now can only lick his fingers, staring at An eating again.

  As for Li Jingyue, there was only a small half left, and two mouths were gone.

  It turns out that there are still more than half of An's scallion pancakes left. Looking at Xu Chengcheng's pitiful gaze, she couldn't help but want to give her half of it, but was stopped by Li Jingyue, "No, no, no, there's still a fried rice ball that hasn't been served yet! If you give the scallion pancake to Chengcheng now, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat the fried rice ball later."

  This is the real deal, the oil-fried mantou is the main event inside, a small mantou the size of a palm, steamed to be white and plump, after being fried in a pot of oil, it's picked up with a golden color. One bite and it's crispy and fragrant, and the fresh meat juice bursts out, when you take a bite, the fresh meat juice overflows in your mouth, first crispy then fresh, oily but not greasy, truly a mouthful of savory delight.

  As soon as An heard Li Jingyue's description, she immediately withdrew her hand and also took back half of the scallion pancake. She advised with a heavy heart, "Cheng Cheng, I'm doing this for your own good, save some room, you can eat more later."

  Xu Cheng couldn't help it! Although he knew that An'an and Xiao Shu were telling the truth, he couldn't bear to watch them eating scallion pancakes with sugar congee, alternating between a mouthful of sugar congee and a mouthful of scallion pancake.

  Xu Chengcheng, who had almost finished all the food, was so anxious that she couldn't help but turn around in circles. She licked her face and said to An An, "An An, can you spare me a little bit? I'll save some for later, when the fried dough sticks come, I won't eat anymore."

  As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady brought up the last plate of fried rice balls and immediately diverted Xu Chengcheng's attention.

  An'an smiled and said on purpose, "Do you want to try my scallion pancake again?"

  Xu Chengcheng didn't care about the burn, directly grabbed a fried rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling unclearly, "Mmm, don't... this one is even more delicious."

  She said that, An'an also felt a bit distracted, immediately betrayed, put the half-eaten scallion pancake back, and directly picked up a chopstick to pick one up and took a bite.

  After entering this entrance, I found that it was indeed as Li Jingyu described, first crispy and then fresh, oily but not greasy, she almost bit her tongue off!

  She quietly took a glance at the alley outside, no way! She had to remember this place and come back specifically to pack some of the food from the supermarket when she left. She dared say that among all the varieties in the supermarket's food section, none compared to the flavor of these two or three dishes in front of her.

  No wonder it's said that China has a history of over 5,000 years, and there are hundreds to thousands of varieties of food. The food passed down from our ancestors is truly delicious! It's so delicious that you can't stop eating.

  When she left, she touched her rounded belly and almost had to hold onto the wall to get out. She didn't even have time to greet the boss's wife, "Pretty sister, help me pack two scallion pancakes and bring two more fried dough sticks, I'll take them with me." In this era, some people were in a hurry and couldn't afford to eat in the store, so the boss would tear off a piece of oil paper and directly wrap it up for takeaway. As far as An'an was concerned, this oil paper was even more useful than the plastic bags of later generations, at least after eating, she didn't have to worry about poisoning from chemical substances.

  Xu Chengcheng saw An An packing these things, she was curious, "An An, can you still eat it!", they later re-ordered another portion, now in front of her were laid out mountain delicacies and seafood, she might not even be able to finish eating them.

  Li Jingyue, who was standing next to her, saw this and slapped a board of hazelnuts on Xu Chengcheng's forehead. "You're so nosy, come out with me! Run for two steps, or you'll get fat." After saying that, he intentionally turned his head back to look at An An, smiling meaningfully, clearly having seen through An An's actions.

  Not bad! This is what An An prepared for Lu Yan.

  Things during the day, Lu Yan was a bit too overbearing, and her temper at that time was also too impulsive. Both of them were wrong, but An An thought of how good Lu Yan had been to her in the past and immediately softened her heart.

  The boss's wife moved quickly, and in just a few minutes, she wrapped an oil paper package for An An with a smile, "Little girl, since your mouth is so sweet, sister will give you an extra oil-fried bun."

  An'an gave her money, and she replied, "Sister is so generous, I'll bring friends next time."

  The boss didn't mind either, after all, their business here was good and it wouldn't hurt to have Anan introduce one or two people.

  After leaving here, Li Jingyue originally planned to take advantage of the night and bring An'an and Chengcheng to the Bund for a stroll. However, both An'an and Xu Chengcheng were lazy, and being able to come out for dinner was already using up all their energy.

  Let them go out for a walk again, that's clearly going to take the lives of the two dogs. Do you think several dozen hours on the train is so easy? Even with a sleeper berth, the area where they can move around is just the size of a palm, and until now, An'an's waist is still sore!

  They brought that car, Lu Yan had a bed, An An and Xu Chengcheng shared a bed. Xu Chengcheng was very loud when she slept, often turning over 180 degrees, her arm or leg would be thrown up.

  Anna truly has unspeakable hardships.

  This girl is so lively even in her dreams, while Xu Chengcheng is completely lazy and after eating and drinking enough, she just wants to lie on the bed.

  They were on their way back to the city when a horn sounded from not far away. An An turned around in surprise, only to find that Lu Yan had gotten off the car. Meanwhile, Li Jingyue's pupils suddenly constricted as he saw the license plate number of the approaching car!

  As expected.

  This Lu Yan kid, not only has a background but is also very powerful. He can drive a military vehicle over to Shanghai in just a few hours, and it's really hard to borrow this car without any connections.

  It wasn't that Lu Yan was intentionally showy, but after finishing his business, he went to find his old comrades-in-arms. Unexpectedly, the comrade who had enlisted with him in Beijing back then had been assigned to Shanghai, and now happened to be in the compound. After Lu Yan explained his intentions, the comrade didn't hesitate at all and lent him the car.

  An An's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw Lu Yan, and she originally planned to run up to him quickly, but thinking of the awkwardness between them before, her footsteps slowed down a bit.

  Li Jingyue then pulled her own wooden outer niece, calling out, "An An, you talk to Lu Yan first, we'll go back first." These two young people had a falling out and only made up when there were no outsiders around.

  Xu Chengcheng, the silly big girl, kept struggling free from Li Jingyue's arm. She rushed forward and said, "Young uncle, let me go! I want to go and support An'an. What if she gets bullied?"

  "You little fool, if you continue like this, I'll send you back home and don't come to Shanghai again." Li Jingyue was a bit headache about her own niece, who used to be a clever kid when she was young, but now grew up to be so worrisome.

  This threat made Xu Cheng immediately calm down, looking back at An An three times in one step, silently apologizing in his heart, "An An, I didn't intentionally abandon you, it was my uncle's threat, I had no choice, I was forced to."

  An An couldn't have known about this scene just now, and yet Cheng Cheng's inner monologue is so rich.

  Just as she stopped, Lu Yan had already taken a step forward and rushed to An An's face. Although it was only an afternoon since he hadn't seen An An, Lu Yan felt like it had been a long time. His narrow and beautiful eyes stared at An An without blinking, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

  After a while, they both spoke at the same time, "You..."

  "An an hesitated for a moment, 'You go first!'"

  Lu Yan, "You first!"

  The two people spoke in unison again, and after this coincidence, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the unpleasantness of the afternoon dissipated.

  An's sudden burst of laughter instantly dissipated the tension that had been building up in Lu Yan all afternoon. To be honest, Lu Yan did have a task to complete in the afternoon, but his mind was preoccupied with An's departing figure and Li Jingyue's words.

  He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone too far! He had even driven An An away.

  Lu Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he took the initiative to speak up, "An An, I was wrong this afternoon! I shouldn't have made a decision for you without discussing it with you." In fact, when Lu Yan calmed down in the afternoon, he carefully thought about the relationship between the two of them. All along, it had been him pursuing her, and An An running away. Although An An hadn't given him a very clear response, she had tacitly agreed to many things.

  In a way, he had been in contact with Anan for so long and understood her personality. She was a bit petty and narrow-minded but not bad, and she was quite cute. Moreover, there was another very important point that he had neglected.

  An An is a very opinionated person, he arbitrarily interferes with An An's decisions, and this point may be what makes An An the angriest.

  She doesn't dislike herself, what she dislikes is that even her own family doesn't discuss with her before making decisions.

  After passing the level, Lu Yan knew where he went wrong. He hastily finished his task and drove a car to pick up An An on the way out.

  An An heard this and blushed, asking "What's wrong?"

  "It shouldn't be that you don't know what's going on and I make decisions for you." Lu Yan frankly admitted his mistake in front of the person he loved, and admitting one's mistakes wasn't a bad thing.

  An An thinks that the person who understands her best in this world may not be her own father, but the man in front of her. Her every move seems to be under his scrutiny, yet she enjoys this feeling. It's as if the object of her affection has both emotional and intellectual intelligence online, so when there's a problem, he doesn't need her to explain for half a day before understanding it. On the contrary, she prefers someone like Lu Yan, who can usually find out where the problem lies without needing her to say anything.

  After Lu Yan realized this problem, such things can be avoided from now on, because this time has already sounded an alarm in Lu Yan's heart.

  That's why An likes it when others don't make decisions for her on their own initiative.

  An An took out a scallion pancake and an oil-fried bun wrapped in oiled paper from behind her back and handed them to Lu Yan, smiling, "Try it!" Then she continued, "Actually, I was also wrong. You were thinking of my safety too. I shouldn't have slapped you in public."

  Moreover, in front of outsiders, the two of them have some awkwardness, okay? Settle it privately. Women love face, men are the same, people respect each other mutually, even if it's her and Lu Yan who are about to enter a romantic relationship, they also need to work on it.

  Lu Yan looked at the oil paper package handed over to him, and his heart suddenly felt a warm current, hot and stuffy, making him want to pick up An An and spin her around in a circle. He thought that this life, meeting An An was the happiest thing for him.

  Lu Yan is a person who does what he thinks, and he put the oil paper package in his pocket, then took out a pair of white pearl earrings with distinct colors, plump and moist. The man's palm was very large, with a slightly wheat-colored skin tone, which formed a sharp contrast with the round and white pearls.

  Looking at An's shining eyes, Lu Yan knew that the earrings were a hit. He suppressed the smile on his lips and became somewhat serious, hoarsening his voice, "An, be my girlfriend!"

  This sudden move made An stunned for a moment, she never thought that Lu Yan, this sulky and stubborn person, would actually take the initiative to speak up. To think that she had assumed that Lu Yan would never ask her to be his girlfriend in this lifetime, An had also prepared herself to just go with the flow, but she didn't expect Lu Yan to suddenly make such a move.

  Make An anxious and at a loss.

  She stared blankly at the pile of white pearl earrings in Lu Yan's hand, and inexplicably, she felt her heart beating a little faster, "thumping", one beat higher than the other, under the quiet night sky, like a small deer running wildly, losing its way.

  Her mouth was a little dry, and she subconsciously swallowed some saliva. However, her mind was completely blank, and she had no idea what to say.

  Lu Yan held An An's hand and walked to the edge of the bridge at the Bund, under the night sky with dense stars twinkling like white pearls inlaid on a black velvet curtain. An An looked up at the stars on the horizon, and at this moment, those stars coincidentally merged with the white pearl in Lu Yan's hand.

  Under the bridge, the sound of water splashing against the shore, a crisp and clear sound wave came, the voices of pedestrians on the side of the road, the honking of cars, as if in this instant, all sounds disappeared.

  In An's eyes and heart, he was filled with the man in front of him. He was tall and upright, with a handsome face that had distinct features, and at this moment, it carried a hint of expectation, even his eyes had an almost imperceptible tension, as if waiting for An's answer.

  An An suddenly curled up the corners of her lips, and then those corners seemed to open wide, and later the smile grew bigger and bigger, revealing a small white tooth. She took a glance at the passersby around her, and without caring, she cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted loudly towards the Bund, "Lu Yan, what did you just say?" An An's voice was very loud, and it instantly carried far away.

  Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then the smile in his eyes deepened slowly, and the pampering seemed to be overflowing. He hoarsely said, "Mischievous." Then, he followed An An's action, covering his mouth with his hands, and shouted loudly, "Lu Yan says! Wants Gu An An to be his girlfriend!"

  At this moment, the people around suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking at Anan and Luyan with faint blessings in their eyes. Suddenly, someone started applauding, and the applause grew louder and louder, turning into a thunderous roar.

  It's already a big disrespect to shout out loud on the Bund and confess, going against the mainstream ideology of this era. But Lu Yanming knew the consequences of Anan's actions, yet he was willing to accompany Anan in her recklessness, even if it meant being gawked at like a monkey by the crowd. Fortunately! The whispers from everyone were all kind intentions.

  Pedestrians on the road would react like this, simply because this is Shanghai, a city that has always been at the forefront of trends. If it were in Taoyuan County, An'an and Lu Yan would probably be spat to death by the crowd.

  An An's willfulness and impulsiveness only lasted for a moment, seeing everyone staring at the two of them, she suddenly lowered her head, with a blush spreading across her face, so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it, typical of being reckless for a moment, but ending up in a funeral pyre.

  Lu Yan didn't know that his own little girl was shy! He bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you all, my girlfriend is a bit shy, so let's disperse!" As he said this, the onlookers around him also slowly dispersed.

  Lu Yan lowered his head to look at An An, under the moonlight and starlight, he could clearly see that the girl's pale face was flushed with a red glow, her dimples were smiling, perhaps she was a bit shy, those watery eyes seemed to be more dazzling than the stars in the sky.

  Lu Yan's heart had a subtle sense of satisfaction, this was the girl he treasured, lovely and cute, even when she was being willful, it made people want to spoil her rotten.

  He opened his palms again, revealing the pearl earrings, "An An, will you be my girlfriend?", this was his third repetition tonight, and An An hadn't given him an answer for the first two times, making Lu Yan a bit uneasy.

  An An heard this for the third time, she raised her head, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth deepened a little. After a while, two words came out of her mouth, "Fool!"
