Chapter 2739: Chapter 2739: Step by Step Into Her Heart (3)

"Tingye, this is really good, do you want to try?" Meimei held her stinky tofu in her hands and walked toward him.

Catching the disgust in Dan Tingye’s eyes, her steps suddenly faltered. She blinked her big eyes and looked at him all innocent.

"If you don’t want to eat it, you can stay away from me. After I finish eating, I’ll come find you." Meimei said as she carried the stinky tofu and walked on ahead.

She was eating what she had in her hands while scouting around for other tasty things.

The smile at the corner of her lips never left her face, so bright it made people lose focus.

Dan Tingye stared fixedly at her. A few seconds later, he suddenly walked over, grabbed her arm, and made her stop.

His black eyes were like he was facing a great enemy, locked tightly on what she was holding. "Is it really that good?"

"Yeah! Super good. The first time I saw it, I also thought it smelled kind of weird, but once I actually ate it, I realized it’s delicious!"

"..."

Watching her animated little face, Dan Tingye’s eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly spoke. "Feed me."

"Huh?"

Meimei froze for a moment, then looked at him in disbelief. "You really want to eat it?"

He didn’t have to force himself. If he didn’t like stinky tofu, he could eat something else.

"I said feed me, so feed me, stop talking nonsense." Dan Tingye’s face sank. If she kept dawdling, he was afraid the hard-won resolve he’d just mustered would waver.

"Okay." Seeing his "marching to his death" expression, Meimei held back a laugh and obediently fed him a piece of stinky tofu.

The pungent smell made him frown in an instant.

Instinctively he wanted to spit it out, but when he saw Meimei’s expectant little face, he forced himself to swallow it back.

He chewed a few times at random and then swallowed it.

It wasn’t that great. Did she really have to be this happy about it?

"Well? Isn’t it pretty fragrant?" Meimei looked at him excitedly, waiting for his answer.

"It’s so-so. Don’t tell me there isn’t anything better here?" Dan Tingye fixed his gaze on her. His tone wasn’t very pleasant, but he’d already slightly changed his opinion of the snacks here and was starting to feel a bit of anticipation.

"Of course there is! I asked around already. This whole street is full of famous Chinese snacks, and there are quite a few fusion ones too. Anyway, there’s a lot to discover. We can eat as we walk and look around!"

As soon as Meimei stepped into this place, she became cheerful and lively. Holding his hand, she weaved them in and out through the different stalls.

In less than half an hour, she was hugging an armful of snacks, panting as she found a shopfront to sit down.

"Boss, two beers." After plopping the snacks down, Meimei immediately shouted to the owner.

"Coming." The beer seller was a middle-aged man who looked honest and simple. He was running a small business, but his service attitude was very warm, the kind of warmth that carried real human touch.

Seeing it was just the two of them, he even gave them a small plate of peanuts to go with the beer.

"Tingye, this one’s to you. Thank you for always taking such good care of me!" With a pop, Meimei opened the can of beer, raised it toward Dan Tingye, then took a big swig herself.

She drank too fast and got choked by the beer, coughing twice.

"No one’s stealing from you, what are you rushing for?" Dan Tingye pressed down on her hand, his deep black eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Meimei’s off expression. Calmly, he picked up the beer beside him, opened it, and drank with her.

"Hehe, it’s not that I’m afraid you’ll steal it, I’m afraid you won’t let me drink. When you’re mad, you’re really fierce..."
