"What are you laughing at? Eat up!"
Qingque pointed to the cold dressed Houttuynia cordata and said.
"Uh, I don't like this. You and Tingyun eat it instead!"
Selene fiddled with her hair with her small hands, saying somewhat awkwardly.
Qingque: ...Alright, alright! So, you're giving me the things you don't like to taste, huh!
"Never mind! Let this young lady have a taste!"
Tingyun said, picking up a piece of Houttuynia cordata and some chopped cilantro, and put it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Selene couldn't help but clench her teeth, her face showing difficulty!
The taste was simply too strong! It was probably due to being enhanced by the System Shop!
"Hmm? This taste is quite good!"
After taking a bite of the cold dressed Houttuynia cordata, Tingyun couldn't help but praise it.
Selene: ...Qingque: ..."Qingque, hurry and try it!"
Tingyun looked at Qingque and said.
Qingque: I really want to escape!
But unable to refuse the warm invitation, Qingque finally picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it into her mouth.
As for Selene, she also picked up a piece of stinky tofu and likewise put it into her mouth to taste.
Selene could actually accept stinky tofu, and could even say it was delicious!
But Qingque frowned, her expression gradually becoming complex...
"I can only say... it's not bad, but I wouldn't actively eat this stuff!"
Qingque said, pointing at the stinky tofu.
After speaking, Qingque's gaze fell on the Houttuynia cordata again.
However, this time, her frown deepened!
Because as she smelled the Houttuynia cordata, it also had a pungent smell! And it was different from the smell of stinky tofu!
Qingque: What a terrible day!
Despite her reluctance, Qingque still picked up a chopstick full of Houttuynia cordata and put it into her mouth!
After only a few chews, Qingque felt her stomach churn! Her expression also became pained!
"Ugh!!!"
Selene: ...Tingyun: ...
"Please let me go! I'll take you out to eat! Stop eating these smelly foods!"
...At the same time.
Fu Xuan had finished making a small outfit for Selene. After tidying up her needlework and fabric, she left the house.
She took a star-skiff and arrived at Exalting Sanctum.
The reason for coming to Exalting Sanctum was because within Exalting Sanctum, there was the largest shop in all of Luofu, which was a supermarket.
Fu Xuan had quite a lot of things to prepare, so buying them here meant she wouldn't have to worry about stock shortages.
After Fu Xuan entered this large shop, she pushed a shopping cart directly to the snack section!
There was no other way, who made that Little one a glutton? Since she was going to give her something, it was natural to cater to her preferences!
But after spending this time together, Fu Xuan found that Little one seemed to only care about what to eat today, and didn't consider anything else!
One could only say... she truly was a glutton!
"Tsk! It's funny to think about. Others give flowers and such when they confess, but This Meow is giving snacks for a confession?!"
Fu Xuan murmured softly, continuing to pick out snacks.
After filling the shopping cart with snacks, Fu Xuan went to the pet section.
The reason she came here was because Fu Xuan had searched online for cats' favorite food!
Aside from cat food cans and cat treats, which Selene was completely uninterested in, Fu Xuan found something called catnip!
It was said that cats especially loved this stuff! They would freeze in their tracks when they saw it!
For this, Fu Xuan had inquired at various shops within the Divination Commission, but none of them sold catnip.
This was also why Fu Xuan came to Exalting Sanctum. Such a large shop surely couldn't not have it for sale, could it?!
...On the other side, after Selene and the others finished lunch at the restaurant, they parted ways.
Tingyun said that some matters within the merchant guild suddenly required her attention, so she left.
As for Qingque, she had some personal matters to attend to.
Ultimately, only Selene was left.
Selene had originally planned to return directly to the Divination Commission!
But on second thought, it was rare for her to be out alone, so it was a good opportunity to buy some things she would need for her confession later!
Thinking this, Selene also headed to that largest shop!
Upon arriving at the shop, Selene also went to the snack section to pick out candies that Fu Xuan liked...
At the same time.
Fu Xuan had already found the catnip she needed. After putting the catnip into the shopping cart, Fu Xuan went to the sundries section to start picking out some items for decoration.
Unbeknownst to her, Selene, who had finished picking out candies, was also walking towards the sundries section!
"Huh? Why does that person look so much like my Fu Xuan Wife?! No! That is my wife!"
Not far away, Selene saw Fu Xuan, who was picking out balloons, her eyes instantly widening! And she ran towards Fu Xuan!
And Fu Xuan, hearing Selene's inner thoughts, was instantly startled! How did this Little one get here?!
But it was already too late for Fu Xuan to run away now, since she had already been discovered by that Little one!
"Sister Fu Xuan? Why are you here? And you bought so many snacks!"
Selene pushed her shopping cart up behind Fu Xuan, patted Fu Xuan's shoulder, and asked.
Fu Xuan turned to look at Selene, showing a look of surprise, as if she didn't know Selene was there too!
"Well, Spring Festival is coming soon, so This Meow came to get some snacks to eat during Spring Festival."
Fu Xuan explained.
But at the same time, she also sighed inwardly! It seemed she would have to go out and buy snacks again, since these snacks had already been seen by Selene.
Fortunately, before Selene arrived, Fu Xuan had hidden the catnip under the snacks, so Selene didn't discover it!
"Speaking of which, weren't you playing cards with Qingque? How did you end up here?"
Fu Xuan asked.
"Uh? Qingque had something to do and left, and then I thought since I was already here, I'd buy some candies you like, for you to eat during the New Year!"
Selene said, sighing helplessly in her heart. These were what she bought for her confession! Now they couldn't be used!
"Hmm? This Meow has so many candies at home! And you bought so many more, when will I finish eating them?"
Fu Xuan said helplessly, but she didn't make Selene take these candies back.
"What does that matter? This Meow likes to eat them too, doesn't she?!"
Selene said.
"Oh? Then why didn't you eat the candy This Meow fed you last night?"
Fu Xuan deliberately frowned, saying somewhat unhappily.
Selene: ...Dormant memories suddenly attacked me!
"Who told you to hold half a candy in your mouth and make me eat the other half?"
Selene's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.
"Heh? What! We've kissed so many times, what's wrong with eating candy fed in that way?!"
Fu Xuan crossed her arms, her tone somewhat displeased, clearly very unhappy about what happened last night!
...Over three thousand again...
Hmm... I'll arrange the confession tomorrow, please send some love!!! Wuwuwuwu!!!
