Peter raised one side of the sword eyebrows dyed like ink, smile like a March spring breeze.
“Go, it’s too humiliating.”
Adriana smiled at the men, pulled Peter up into the crowd and ran.
After striding for a while, she glanced back and found that no one was noticing her or Peter, and only then did she take a long breath and slow down.
“Phew …”
“How come I didn’t find you so shy before?”
Peter flirted.
“What? I used to be like this, OK.”
Adriana bristled.
At that moment, she suddenly smelled a fragrance, “Wow, it smells good.”
“Smells good? Why do I smell a stench.”
“Gee, you don’t understand, it’s the smell of stinky tofu.”
Adriana pulled Peter and led him toward the front by his sense of smell, then walked up to a roadside stand, pointed to the stall, and said to Peter, “I’ll have this.”
“This?”
Peter had never eaten stinky tofu before and asked if the stinky taste didn’t seem good.
“Oh, this is very slow to do. Are they going to be anxious waiting in the hotel?”
Adriana suddenly thought that there were several people waiting for them inside the hotel.
“No harm. It’s better to air them out.”
Peter said, and then said to the vendor owner: “Have one … Forget it, have two.”
“Okay, both of you wait a moment.”
The vendor owner started to fry stinky tofu for them.
“Aren’t you not eating?”
Adriana looked at Peter with some curiosity.
“You said it was delicious and I wanted to try it.”
“You’re supposed to fall in love.”
Adriana pulled Peter aside to sit on a small low stool and waited slowly.
“I just found out that there are so many delicious food here. Do you know what I wanted to do on weekends when I was a kid?”
“Eat these?”
Peter pointed to a row of vendors selling something.
“Mmmmmmmmm.”
Adriana nodded, elbows propped up on her knees and chin, lamenting: “When I was a kid, my family was not well off, I couldn’t afford to eat these, so every time I got paid for a part-time job I bought myself a bunch of grilled sausages to satisfy my cravings. But you know, the more you eat those things, the more you want to eat, I did not have much money at that time, but stood by and watched others eat, I could not spend money to buy.”
Looking back on her childhood, Adriana felt really hard and pitiful.
In her foster mother Thelma’s home, she not only had to clean for the family, but also worked part-time to earn money for school.
Otherwise, there is no tuition fee, even the living expenses are saved up a little by themselves.
At that time life was really too tight, but now think about it, and suddenly feel that although hard, but very easy.
“Silly girl.”
Peter didn’t know what to say, but just looked back at what these stalls were selling and made a secret note of it.
“Here, it’s ready, you two eat slowly.”
The vendor owner put the stinky tofu on the table and gave two pairs of chopsticks.
“Thank you, boss.”
Adriana took the disposable chopsticks, broke them open, immediately caught a piece of stinky tofu, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, still grinning greedily, “It smells so good. I don’t know if it’s authentic, I want to try it.”
She blew on the hot stinky tofu, took a bite, savored it, and then nodded, “Mmmmmmmmm, it tastes really good, it’s quite delicious. honey, you try it.”
Peter looked at the disposable bowl with a few pieces of blackened stinky tofu, his brow twisted into a Chuan.
Picked up a piece of stinky tofu, smelled the smell, stinky very top.
He skimmed his mouth, even the expression of looking at the stinky tofu was a bit tormented, and was hesitating to eat it, but Adriana took her hand in one hand and stuffed the stinky tofu into her mouth, “It tastes really super good. Otherwise you don’t eat it, leave it all to me.”
She said as she ate.
Happy and content, like a child.
At this moment, she seems to have forgotten all her worries, even the gloomy look between her eyebrows has disappeared.
“Is it really that good?”
“Sure.”
After getting Adriana’s definite answer, Peter again took a piece of stinky tofu, sniffed it, blew on it, and then shoved a whole piece of stinky tofu into his mouth at once, chewed a few times, and swallowed it directly and rudely, which made him choke.
He only felt a choking pain in his throat, then not a moment later, he raised his eyebrows and looked up at Adriana, “Mm-hmm, it tastes pretty good.”
“Right, I told you, it must taste really good. Just eat it.”
Adriana smiles with an insatiable look on her face.
The two ate together, and finally Peter saw that Adriana had finished eating, so he handed her the few pieces of stinky tofu he had left, “Here, have mine.”
“Good, I happen to have not eaten well yet.”
Adriana took the one in front of Peter and ate it without any hesitation.
It wasn’t until after she finished eating that Peter handed her a tissue and asked, “Did you eat?”
Adriana shook her head, “The stinky tofu in this place is really too good, can I have another one?”
“No.”
Peter decisively refused, “Your body is pregnant now, it is better to eat less of these things.”
Although they tasted good and even exceeded Peter’s expectations, he felt that what was out there was ultimately unhygienic.
Adriana skimmed her lips and skimmed helplessly, “Well, then, no more.”
“Boss, how much is it?”
“40.”
“Forty?”
Adriana was a bit taken aback.
You know Obren1 dollar is equal to 4 dollar in China, so two servings of stinky tofu is one hundred and six?
“Honey, when we can’t mix anymore, we can come here to set up a stall.”
She snickered.
Get up, pay the bill, and leave.
It was more than forty minutes later when we returned to the hotel suite.
“Where have you been, keeping us waiting for so long.”
The two had just entered the suite when Celine grumbled a bit disgruntled.
Adriana suddenly felt that Celine is really spoiled, some brutal and capricious, really make people headache.
“Just a few minutes and you can’t wait any longer? Heh, you have to marry Motril royalty with this kind of urgency? You’re the kind of person who doesn’t survive more than three episodes, as they say in TV shows.”
Adriana teased.
She was telling the truth.
Just because she was made to wait in the hotel for a few minutes and then yelled, no mature and stable nature at all, if she married into the Motril royal family, in the midst of full of intrigue and calculation, how could she survive to the end?
“You … want you to care!”
Celine gave her a blank, angry look.
“I don’t really want to care. As long as your grandmother is willing to let us go, we promise not to stay a minute longer.”
Adriana took Peter by the hand and the two walked across to sit down opposite a few people.
Obren is the last place in her life she would like to stay. If she didn’t have no choice, she would have returned to her country with Peter and the two of them.
“Come on, you’re sisters, what’s worth arguing about every day!”
As the eldest, Chaya could not see Adriana and Celine quarreling with each other. She slapped the table and said in a deep voice: “There is still a long road ahead. One day when Ruth and I are no longer here, you two sisters will have to depend on each other, take care of each other and fight against foreign enemies together.”
