#405 - Chapter 404 Night
At first, Zhao Ling'er only suspected that Chu Tianran was indeed a little different.
Well......
Now she feels he's definitely not quite the same.
It seems that a fried stinky tofu stall appeared in this town some time ago, said to have come from the imperial palace and spread here.
But Zhao Ling'er had tried it and found it very strange, even stranger than pig intestines.
It smells awful but tastes really good, but it doesn't seem like people in the palace would like to eat that, right?
But she feels like Chu Tianran might like it...
He seems to be a bit of a pervert.
However, Zhao Ling'er also finds these things quite delicious; her palate is more diverse, and she can eat anything.
Chu Tianran, who was next to her, was gobbling down rice, and in the blink of an eye, he had already eaten three bowls!
"It's delicious! Who knew there could be such a delicious thing in the world!"
"Well... it's good that you like it."
"I like it, I especially like it. Can I have another bowl?"
"You can..."
Anyway, it doesn't cost much, but she actually discovered Chu Tianran's culinary preferences.
She might as well respect them.
Soon, they finished eating.
Chu Tianran single-handedly finished three bowls of stewed entrails, and even finished a bowl of garlic that came with it!
Chu Tianran, who had finished the stewed entrails, looked satisfied and wanted to hug Zhao Ling'er, but she pushed his head away.
"Don't hug me."
"What's wrong, Ling'er?"
"Your mouth smells, it's awful."
"Ah? But you just ate it too, didn't you?"
"That's why I didn't want to hug you, so don't hug me either."
"Why not use a cleansing spell, and then you can cast one on me too?"
Zhao Ling'er slapped her forehead.
"That's right."
The two of them cast cleansing spells on themselves, and only then was Chu Tianran satisfied enough to hug her.
Perhaps because of developmental issues, Zhao Ling'er was a head taller than Chu Tianran.
Uh... it feels like hugging a younger brother, so strange.......
But Chu Tianran wants to treat her as his wife.
It feels weird, especially when other people see it, and the others don't seem to find it strange either. No one would think their relationship is unusual; they probably just think they are siblings.
She is three years older than Chu Tianran and also taller, so that must be it.
Then there's really nothing to worry about. It's not scary to hold hands on the street, after all, she doesn't know these people. The more people she doesn't know, the more freedom she naturally has.
"Can you still eat? I think there's something that might be quite suitable for you."
"I can eat, but not too much."
The two went to eat fried stinky tofu.
Sure enough!
He really likes to eat it.......
He really is different from other people.
Although there are few people who eat stewed entrails, how should I put it, people who don't eat it can actually accept it. It's fine once you get used to it.
But fried stinky tofu is a very, very niche food.......
"The stinky tofu here is made so-so. Actually, the stinky tofu made by my dad tastes the best."
"I'll take you to try it another day. Ling'er, don't you not have parents? Now that you're my wife, my parents are also your parents. You have to call them Mom and Dad when you meet them another day."
Zhao Ling'er's face turned slightly red, and she didn't say much. She pulled Chu Tianran to continue strolling around the town, introducing it as they walked.
The town is very big, and there are many people. Taverns, snack stalls, and so on are all available. Chu Tianran actually rarely leaves the palace, let alone plays so freely, and he is particularly happy as he walks along.
Heh, someone from the palace, these people from the palace haven't seen any of this.
Forget it, it's nice to take him for a walk. When I came out alone, I actually wouldn't stay in town for long. It's quite interesting to have someone accompany me and introduce it to him.
The two of them came out in the afternoon, eating and playing along the way, and it soon got dark.
Looking at the sky, Zhao Ling'er said she was going back.
Chu Tianran was puzzled.
"Why don't we stay at an inn in town for a day, and then play for another day tomorrow?"
"But we have to go home?"
"Can't they cook meals at home without you?"
"That's not true."
"Does Uncle Zheng require you all to go home every night?"
"Children under the age of 10 are not allowed to run around, but I'm 12 years old, so it should be okay, but you can't."
"I'm here as a guest, so your rules naturally don't apply to me! Otherwise, let's play in town for a few more days tomorrow, and I'll take you to earn some money by the way. My dad told me when he taught me to write since I was little that my writing can sell for a lot of money."
Zhao Ling'er chuckled, originally not believing it, but when she thought of Chu Tianran's writing.
Well... his writing is as good-looking as he is.
Then it should be possible, right.
"It would be great if we could earn a few taels of silver. Today, that book alone cost a lot of silver. I saved it for many years......."
She felt a little heartache, but it didn't matter if she was out playing with Chu Tianran, but it would be great if there was a chance to earn it back.
"Do you still need to tell that Manor Lord Zheng?"
"It doesn't matter, I just need to bring you back, and they can find us if they want to."
"There's an inn over there. Do you have enough silver on you?"
"Inns aren't expensive, those in town aren't very expensive, as long as it doesn't involve cultivation items, it's actually okay."
Zhao Ling'er led Chu Tianran into the inn, and the waiter hurried over.
"Two guests, are you here for a meal or to stay?"
"To stay, two rooms."
Chu Tianran hurriedly grabbed Zhao Ling'er.
"Why do we need two rooms? We're sleeping together. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to open two rooms?"
When Zhao Ling'er heard this, it seemed right. They were sleeping together, even if they weren't sleeping together, he would definitely come over and hug her to sleep at night.
"Then let's open one."
"Haha, our shop just happens to have only one room left today. You two guests came at the right time......."
Two hundred coins a night. The inn was neither good nor bad, compared to the mountain village......
The two came to the room.
Chu Tianran was silent for a moment.
"I feel like the mountain village is already very broken, but I didn't expect it to be even more broken here. The wooden boards aren't even solid wood......."
Zhao Ling'er pulled Chu Tianran into the door and said softly after closing the door: "No matter whether the inn is good or bad, we can't say it in front of people, otherwise people will feel uncomfortable and scold us in return. You should know this, right?"
Chu Tianran was thoughtful: "Not speaking ill of people behind their backs, right? I do know this, but as a guest of an inn coming to a room, it's quite normal to be dissatisfied, right?"
"You can also say it?"
Zhao Ling'er thought for a while, it seemed to make sense.
"Then let's sleep here tonight, and we'll go back after playing for another day tomorrow."
"No no no, tomorrow we'll go make money. Once we make money, we'll sleep in the best restaurant here, and then go back after playing for a few days."
"Uncle Zheng would think we've been abducted."
"It's simple, after we have money, we can find someone to run errands!"
"That's not how money is spent. It's not easy to make money."
Chu Tianran chuckled: "Don't worry, it's very simple. I'll show you a wave tomorrow!"
Chu Tianran immediately took out that Golden Lotus!
"Let's go to bed, I'll read this book to you...."
