Chapter 141 Passing by a Tent

Chen Bainian glanced at the radish she handed him.

A section of radish was simply cut off and cooked in the spicy broth of oden for quite some time. It was cooked through and turned light yellow, with a thin layer of red oil on the surface.

My favorite ingredient in oden is radish.

Chen Bainian repeated it to himself again.

Chen Bainian didn't say anything, but lowered his head, took the hand she offered, and took a bite of the radish.

He chewed it and nodded: "It's quite delicious."

Jiang Yiting left the bamboo skewer in his hand, withdrew her hand, picked up a skewer of carrots for herself, took a bite, and mumbled, "Of course, I chose it."

The two of them ate quietly as they walked back to the park, where the light was even dimmer.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the two figures nestled together.

When you look down, you can occasionally see the older brother looking longingly at the bamboo skewers in the two people's hands through the transparent window.

Finally, it meowed, as if venting its dissatisfaction that the two had forgotten to share it with it.

Jiang Yiting threw away the empty cup, returned to its side, and whispered, "I'll open a can of food for you when we get back."

The four-month-old puppy had already tasted canned food, and only when it heard the word "canned food" did it contentedly shrink back into its bag.

On their way back, the two strolled leisurely along the path.

The wind was much gentler than before, and the sound of the waves had softened.

Just then, faint rustling sounds came from the darkness not far ahead.

It sounded like leaves rustling in the wind, or like a tent shaking.

However, what followed immediately was a suppressed breathing sound.

The sound wasn't loud, but in the quiet seaside night, it was so clear that the two of them couldn't ignore it.

Jiang Yiting stopped in her tracks.

Chen Bainian also stopped walking.

Even the eldest cat in the carrier pricked up its ears and pressed against the transparent window, peering warily in the direction from which the sound came.

Then it let out a soft "meow," as if asking a question.

What's that noise?

Shall we go take a look?

However, it was this "meow" that broke the frozen state between the two.

Chen Bainian quickly grabbed Jiang Yiting's hand and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

Although the pace of the walk was much faster than when it came, it wasn't as chaotic as if it were running away.

Jiang Yiting let him pull her away, following him away from the sound.

When she inadvertently turned her head to look at him to her side, she couldn't help but smile.

Although I blush and my heart races when I face such things.

But looking at Diwa'er's reaction, it seems she reacted the same way.

Jiang Yiting suddenly realized that this is what it means to like someone.

She recalled a quote she had seen online: "Liking is unrestrained, loving is restraint."

After walking a dozen meters, the disturbing sounds finally disappeared.

The two then slowed their pace.

Chen Bainian didn't speak or turn around.

So Jiang Yiting didn't say anything and just followed quietly.

The two walked on hand in silence.

However, they weren't heading towards the car, but towards the breakwater.

Chen Bainian couldn't explain why he was heading this way.

Perhaps they felt that at this moment, they needed a more open space, and a breeze.

Before returning to the makeshift home the two of them had built together, take those uncontrollable thoughts with you.

Jiang Yiting simply followed along without asking any questions.

The two climbed to the top of the seawall, and the sea breeze blew in their faces.

Chen Bainian continued to carry the cat carrier, but rested the bottom on the stone railing of the breakwater: "Let my older brother see the sea too."

The two lowered their heads and peered through the transparent window at the older brother inside the bag.

However, the eldest brother seemed somewhat ungrateful.

It just lay there on the window, staring blankly at the Blackwater Sea for a while, before retreating back inside and licking its paws.

Seeing its appearance, the two of them couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.

That smile seemed to dispel the slight embarrassment from before.

Jiang Yiting took a deep breath of the salty, fishy air carried by the sea breeze before turning to look at Chen Bainian.

Chen Bainian didn't look at her, but gazed at the sea, as if thinking about what the sunrise would be like tomorrow, his expression unchanged.

However, in the soft moonlight, Jiang Yiting noticed that the tips of his ears seemed a little red.

Chen Bainian felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he raised his hand and touched his ear.

It's a little hot.

He instinctively reached out to block it.

Seeing his actions, Jiang Yiting suddenly laughed: "Little brother, why are your ears red?"

Chen Bainian opened his mouth, thinking of something to explain.

But then I realized that no matter how I explained it, it didn't seem right.

If you say she didn't become famous, not only would she not believe it, but even she herself wouldn't believe it.

To say there's nothing wrong with it would be even stranger.

Finally, he could only mutter, "The oden is a bit hot."

"Oh—" Jiang Yiting drawled, her voice full of laughter, "Oden is hot to eat."

She moved closer to him, staring intently at his ears. "You haven't eaten any oden yet, and with this sea breeze blowing on them, why are they still red?"

Unable to withstand her persistent questioning, Chen Bainian could only say impatiently, "That's enough."

Jiang Yiting looked at his embarrassed yet helpless expression, and her heart suddenly softened.

She reached out and helped him untie the cat carrier, placing it inside the railing.

Then she raised her hand and gently hugged him.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore," she whispered in his ear.

Chen Bainian hesitated for only a moment before reaching out to stop her, letting out a muffled "Mm".

Her soft body was in his arms, but he felt peaceful at that moment.

The two of them stood there embracing each other for a while in the sea breeze.

The older brother peeked out from the cat carrier at their feet, then withdrew his head.

Jiang Yiting suddenly spoke up: "Little brother."

"Um?

""

Have you ever thought about what we'll be like ten years from now?

Chen Bainian thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "They're probably still in the gaming industry, right?"

I'll handle the development, and you'll be responsible for promoting it through live streaming.

"Sometimes, like now, I drive out to enjoy the scenery and capture a meaningful moment."

"It's that simple?"

"Isn't simplicity better?" Chen Bainian looked down at her. "Didn't you say we should learn to enjoy life?"

Jiang Yiting didn't reply, but simply hugged him tighter.

A gentle sea breeze caressed the shore, and the waves lapped softly against the shore.

The scene he just described was gradually forming in her mind.

Two people, one car, occasionally going out to check things out and record every meaningful moment.

Just like tonight.

But, for some reason, she always felt like something was missing.

She thought for a long time and suddenly remembered the tent the two of them had just passed.

I remembered the sounds coming from inside the tent.

She froze for a moment.

Then it dawned on me that something was missing from this picture.
