Chapter 518: Butterflies Circle Around You (3k Chapter)
After a while, a fragrant big pot of spicy bullfrog and fish head arrived.
The frog leg meat was full of elasticity, and the fish head was flavorful to the bone.
The spicy flavor was especially appetizing, making both of them sweat profusely.
Once they were almost done with the meat, Li Lili proactively brought over ten plates of dishes, including lamb, wide noodles, goose intestines, and potato slices, fully prepared. "I'll bring more once you finish, take your time eating."
"Thanks for the trouble." Han Qiwu rolled up his sleeves, waited a bit, and then served a piece of lamb to Tang Qingying.
"Hehe." Tang Qingying didn't hold back, cooled it a bit, dipped it in sauce, and started chewing, her eyes instantly turning into crescent moons.
"Delicious, delicious. You eat too; it's a pity I don't have a big appetite. Every time I get full, I don't enjoy it." Tang Qingying looked at Han Qiwu with some envy; most of the meat earlier had been eaten by Han Qiwu, yet he didn't seem full.
Really wish I could learn that skill!
"You need to exercise more. The more you exercise, the more you can eat. Are you doing the exercises I taught you last time every day?" Han Qiwu asked.
Tang Qingying suddenly raised her head and said, "Hey, look at that lamp, so bright and round."
"Look at this noodle, it's long and wide?"
Han Qiwu conveniently clamped a wide noodle for Tang Qingying and advised, "You need more exercise. If not, I'll supervise you doing exercises every day in the future?"
"Han Qiwu, don't expect me to turn in homework for you. I'll practice when I get back," Tang Qingying chuckled slyly, dodging Han Qiwu's trap, and lowered her head to eat the wide noodle.
The wide noodles soaked in various flavors were smooth yet flavorful, providing a comforting texture, instantly satiating a craving for carbohydrates.
Delightful.
Han Qiwu smiled helplessly.
Too hasty.
He also lowered his head to eat, feeling like he couldn't get enough because he hadn't eaten his homegrown stuff the past few days.
"It seems the system's items improved not only the taste but also the nutrition absorption rate."
Soon, Han Qiwu easily finished fifteen plates of dishes.
If not for the movie starting soon, he could have eaten more.
As they left the hall, Tang Qingying turned her head to smell herself and suddenly hugged Han Qiwu's arm, saying, "Now I smell like the pot base, becoming a spicy girlfriend. Won't you dislike me?"
Han Qiwu chuckled,
Is the phrase "If I'm like this, would you dislike me" something all women say worldwide?
But Mr. Tang looked truly tempting right now.
After drinking, Tang Qingying's cheeks blushed, and her words were soft.
"Then I'm still a spicy boyfriend now. Would you dislike me?"
"Totally dislike, let's walk over there, I brought some perfume." Tang Qingying stuck out her tongue, led Han Qiwu aside, and prepared to take out perfume from her bag to dispel the smell.
"Wait." Han Qiwu saw this, helplessly took out an exquisite blue demon perfume from his bag and handed it to Tang Qingying. "Try this, I was going to give it to you as a surprise after the movie."
"Were you planning a surprise for me? Such a beautiful bottle?" Tang Qingying immediately put down her own bottle of perfume and took over the blue demon to examine it.
Without discussing the scent, the appearance alone deeply attracted Tang Qingying. The delicate texture and mysterious patterns captivated her at first glance; she'd never seen such a style before.
"Try the scent." Han Qiwu picked up the blue demon perfume and sprayed it lightly in front of Tang Qingying.
Tang Qingying elegantly walked over and spun around, her little dress forming a beautiful scenery.
"The scent is great too; I usually can't get used to rose scents, but I really like this one. Where did you get it?" Tang Qingying sniffed her wrist and felt very pleased.
The romantic rose perfume perfectly dispelled the pot base smell while igniting her fantasy about romance.
Exciting!
"Of course, I made it myself. It was made from blue enchantress roses, which I planted some time ago. I'll show you next time you visit." Han Qiwu walked quickly to Tang Qingying's side, catching the little bit of scent left.
Can't let it go to waste.
Although making one bottle only costs 1,000 gold, collecting petals does take a lot of time.
"Impressive, time's about up; shall we head to the cinema?" Tang Qingying tightly held Han Qiwu's hand.
Han Qiwu gently shook his head and said, "Don't rush, I have another gift." He took out the handmade wooden sunglasses from his bag and handed them to Tang Qingying.
Tang Qingying took the wooden sunglasses and exclaimed again, "Sunglasses with wooden frames? This texture feels great." She put on the sunglasses in front of a nearby glass and turned her head to feel it.
The wooden sunglasses were slightly heavier than traditional ones, but they could absorb sweat to prevent slipping and avoid skin allergies, with much better lens light transmittance compared to regular ones.
The sun was very bright today; the glare from the surrounding reflections could be blinding upon entering the eyes.
Fortunately, it felt much more comfortable after putting on the sunglasses.
The sight of Tang Qingying wearing sunglasses had a different vibe, making Han Qiwu smile with satisfaction as he put on his own pair.
Couple's sunglasses.
"Did you make these yourself too?" Tang Qingying asked Han Qiwu with a smile.
"It was made by an old friend. The material's scarce, so he only made this pair for us." Han Qiwu replied.
Indeed, Master Shuzi is an old friend.
"These sunglasses are much better than the ones I bought before, so comfortable after wearing them. Let's go." Tang Qingying joyfully linked arms with Han Qiwu and headed happily toward the cinema.
Happiness is nothing more than having someone to bring you water when thirsty and make you food when hungry.
It's actually quite simple.
They bypassed the street, heading toward the cinema and, about dozens of meters away from it, they noticed a newly opened jewelry store bustling with activity. On the stage, a girl dressed in traditional attire was posing, waiting for the music.
"There are so many people over there, let's join the fun after the movie?" Tang Qingying was intrigued again.
Han Qiwu nodded, just about to speak when he suddenly saw many black spots emerging from beneath the stage at the jewelry store, casting a shadow over the sky. "Careful." Han Qiwu grabbed Tang Qingying's hand to figure out the situation.
Upon close inspection, he sighed in relief, smiled, and pointed there, saying, "Qingying, look, there are butterflies over there."
"Really?" Tang Qingying turned to look.
At the jewelry store entrance, hundreds and thousands of butterflies of various colors surged from beneath the stage, as if opening the door to nature.
These butterflies seemed to follow a certain guidance, slowly flying towards the girl in traditional attire on stage as the music played, and she began to dance.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
"It's my first time seeing so many butterflies!"
"This is so ethereal!"
The crowd below the stage exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Qingying couldn't help but express her envy, "So pretty, with so many butterflies flying around her."
"Probably there's a lot of pollen on her clothes or maybe they added some scent." Han Qiwu speculated.
As they chatted, the butterflies spinning around suddenly seemed to be blown away by the wind, leaving the gorgeous lady and flying towards the cinema with clear intent.
The person in charge behind the stage was shocked and asked the planners, "Was this in your plan?"
The planners, bewildered, turned to ask the butterfly keeper, "What's going on?"
Butterfly keeper: "??? How should I know? Quick, chase them!"
Holding Tang Qingying's hand, Han Qiwu also noticed this. Considering that butterflies aren't threatening, he didn't chase them away, smiling slightly. "Don't worry, soon these butterflies will surround you too, enjoy."
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds and thousands of butterflies were drawn by the unique rose fragrance of the blue demon perfume, surrounding Tang Qingying and gently spinning, stirring her pink dress beautifully.
The butterflies came too fast, like a tornado~
"Wow!!! Is there a surprise feature?!"
"This young lady looks much prettier!"
"Is Xiang Fei reincarnated?!"
"Mom, why am I kneeling and watching a fairy????"
"This scene is too beautiful."
"Those sunglasses are so nice too, wooden frames!"
In the center of the butterflies, Tang Qingying looked at Han Qiwu in surprise. She guessed it was the perfume, but still found it hard to believe its effect could be this good.
It actually managed to draw someone else's butterflies over.
If she hadn't seen the anxious organizer rushing over, clearly an accident, she might have thought it was all part of Han Qiwu's special plan.
Pushing up the sunglasses, gazing at the surrounding multicolored butterflies, Tang Qingying felt like stepping into a fantasy world.
Under the sunlight, they sparkled, colorful and vibrant.
Thank you for giving me such a bright and colorful day.
So happy.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Tang Qingying enjoyed the moment, gave Han Qiwu a mischievous smile, "Shall we make an escape?"
Han Qiwu agreed silently, thankful for the sunglasses concealing his face from cameras.
He smiled, taking Tang Qingying's hand, swiftly flicked away dozens of butterflies clinging to her clothes with a quick and smooth motion, led her into the cinema through the glass doors, and quickly shut them.
Watching the confused little butterflies outside, Han Qiwu advised the nearby staff, "Hey buddy, don't open the door until we've walked further; then you can let the few little butterflies that flew in out."
"Oh, alright." The staff member, first time experiencing such an event, hurriedly nodded.
There weren't many people to watch the movie, and the cinema felt empty. Near the ticket pickup area, Tang Qingying suddenly hopped and embraced Han Qiwu from behind.
Feeling the warmth, Han Qiwu's body stiffened, unsure where to place his hands.
A few seconds later, Tang Qingying let go, face flushed, and said, "Okay then, you did great today, rewarded with a fairy hug."
"You did well today too, rewarded with a handsome guy's return hug." Han Qiwu chuckled, giving Tang Qingying a hug in return.
"Huh! Where's the handsome guy? I didn't see any." Tang Qingying snorted, bouncing to the ticket booth to pick up the movie tickets.
Meanwhile, Han Qiwu went to buy some snacks and drinks. After the tickets were checked, they started watching the movie happily.
