After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

"Should we go see Uncle Bai?" Hua Yue asked, somewhat worried.

Xiao Fu quickly waved his hand, "I don't have heatstroke!"

"Then why is your face so red?" Huayue asked, puzzled.

Xiao Fu stammered.

"Never mind, it's good that you're not sick." Huayue didn't dwell on it, served herself a bowl of rice, and ate it with relish.

Wang Zhao said, "Little Master, aren't you going to lose weight anymore?"

Hua Yue, who had been happily eating, paused upon hearing this, and the rice in her bowl suddenly lost its appeal.

Xiao Fu quickly put a large piece of braised pork into his bowl, saying, "We need to eat well so we have the energy to lose weight. Eat up!"

Unexpectedly, Hua Yue reacted so strongly to this matter. Wang Zhao coughed rather guiltily and awkwardly changed the subject, "Where's Lin Nian? I can't even see her at dinner."

Xiao Fu: "..."

Hua Yue said softly, "Brother Xiao Fu, your face is red again."

……

Lin Nian changed into a light-colored stand-up collar dress. Fortunately, the temperature difference between day and night in Caixia City is large, so wearing an undershirt at this time did not seem strange.

Yin Cheng was still laughing at him from behind, "Why is Niannian wearing thermal underwear all over? Why is her neck covered up so tightly?"

Lin Nian glared at him angrily.

Whose little boy has such red marks all over his neck?

Yin Cheng laughed heartily, while Lin Nian was so embarrassed that she wanted to kick him a few times.

After the two had settled in, Yin Cheng carried his wife to the market.

Lin Nian only understood why men would climb over walls instead of using doors, and why they would use light-footed skills instead of riding in carriages, after arriving in Caixia City.

Caixia City is located on a mountaintop, with houses at varying heights and many steps. To facilitate the travel of the people, all sorts of haphazard constructions have sprung up.

It's right there in front of us, but it would take at least half an hour to walk there.

The light-footed skill can be used in just a few dozen breaths, saving both time and effort.

Ultimately, it's just a matter of habit.

Lin Nian is now quite used to taking the unconventional path.

When they arrived at the market, the two first ate a mutton soup rice before going hand in hand to the dessert shop.

The dessert shop had three husbands making desserts in the back, and a young waiter tidying up the tables.

These helpers were hired by Luo Ran; they were all honest and reliable people.

After Wang Zhao and Hua Yue finished making lotus root starch balls, seeing that there weren't many guests, they decided to go out and play.

Hua Yue loved to stroll around, eat, and drink, while Wang Zhao preferred to go to the security escort agency on the next street to watch people practice martial arts.

Despite having Hua Yue as his junior master, Wang Zhao's longing for the escort agency remained undiminished. He thought that once the weather wasn't so hot, he would come to work at the agency and have them take him on escort missions.

When Lin Nian and Yin Cheng arrived at the dessert shop, Wang Zhao and Hua Yue had already been gone for quite some time, and there were only a few scattered customers in the shop.

Lin Nian was quite surprised. Why were there so many fewer guests all of a sudden?

"Master," the young man hurriedly greeted him.

"Why are there so few people today?" Lin Nian asked. "Is there something wrong with our dessert?"

The young man said, "The sweet soup is fine. We've been wondering about that too, as we've been getting fewer and fewer customers lately."

Lin Nian said, "Perhaps it's been a while since we've had any new drinks, and everyone's gotten tired of them."

Yin Cheng said, "How about adding milk tea?"

Lin Nian asked curiously, "What is milk tea?"

"It's a kind of sweet soup, made by boiling milk and tea."

"Husband, can you do this?"

This stumped His Highness Prince Cheng, as he never drinks milk tea and couldn't possibly explain how it's made.

Yin Cheng said confidently, "No, but I guess it's probably just putting some tea leaves in when boiling the milk."

Lin Nian said, "Then I'll try it at home tomorrow."

With few customers at the dessert shop and nothing much to do, Yin Cheng decided to take his wife shopping.

On the other side, Huayue had just bought a string of candied hawthorns and was happily preparing to show them off when suddenly a hand reached out and snatched them away.

The owner of the hand was a young man two or three years older than Hua Yue. His features were extremely delicate, and he had the face of a typical exotic beauty. His clothes were also strange and unusual, and he was covered in gold and silver chains, gemstones and emeralds.

Upon closer inspection, his eyes were found to be green.

Under Hua Yue's astonished gaze, the boy took a bite of the candied hawthorn and said, "Not bad, it's quite delicious."

Hua Yue was furious when she saw her precious candied hawthorn being snatched away and even bitten.

"Give me back my candied hawthorn!"

Hua Yue tried to snatch it, but the boy was a whole head taller than him.

The boy held the candied hawthorn high, saying, "Come on, take it. I'll give it back to you once you have it."

"You stinky Chi Xu, you rotten Chi Xu, give me back my candied hawthorn!"

Chi Xu teased Hua Yue like a kitten, deliberately lowering his hand each time so that Hua Yue would suddenly raise it just as she was about to reach it.

Hua Yue grabbed his arm and stood on tiptoe to protect her precious candied hawthorn.

"Little eggplant." Chi Xu patted Hua Yue's head. "Oh dear, you can't reach it, you can't reach it."

Hua Yue was furious.

He shook off Chi Xu's arm. "I don't want it anymore!"

He wept silently, "Waaah, my delicious candied hawthorns, I'll just consider it feeding you to the dogs."

Seeing Little Eggplant walk away without looking back, Chi Xu called out, "Hey, Little Eggplant, you don't want the candied hawthorn anymore? Really?"

Hua Yue covered her ears and ran away.

Chi Xu chased after him, "Alright, alright, here you go. Your temper has certainly gotten a bit worse since your trip to the capital."

Hua Yue snatched the candied hawthorn skewer, threw it on the ground, and walked away without looking back.

He was walking briskly forward with his head down when he suddenly bumped into someone.

He covered his head, and after recognizing the person, he cursed, "Get away from me, you damned Chi Xu!"

Chi Xu rubbed his chest, which had been hurt by the little eggplant bump. "Are you really angry?"

Hua Yue ignored him.

"Don't be angry. We haven't seen each other for over a year. Don't you miss me?"

Hua Yue honestly replied, "I don't want to."

Chi Xu said with a smile, "But I missed you."

Hua Yue pouted, but her tone softened considerably, "Who told you to miss me?"

Chi Xu chuckled, "Little Huayue, do you want some sticky rice chicken?"

Hua Yue licked her lips, about to say she wanted to eat, when she suddenly remembered her soft flesh.

He shook his head with difficulty. "I don't want to eat it. It must taste awful, it'll rot."

"Spicy wontons?"

Hua Yue shook her head.

"Baked milk skin?"

Hua Yue continued to shake her head.

Chi Xu was puzzled. In the past, when it came to food, Xiao Qiezi was very enthusiastic, but now she was suddenly indifferent.

"Why aren't you eating anything today? Is something on your mind?"

Hua Yue's weight loss plan was impulsive; he shook his head, pushed past Chi Xu, and walked back.

"I'm going home, don't follow me."

Chi Xu caught up with him in a few steps, "Little eggplant, play a little longer, why go back so early?"

"I'm not playing anymore." Hua Yue was extremely worried. It was all Chi Xu's fault. He had already forgotten about the extra weight on his body.

Upon seeing this person, he immediately remembered that he had gained weight.

He was extremely depressed, wondering if he would ever be able to be slim and well-proportioned again in his lifetime.

Chi Xu sighed, "Alright, then I'll take you back."

"I don't need you to deliver it!"

"I can't hear you."

"You're so annoying!"

"I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"
