Yu Zeng felt uncomfortable walking together with Guiying, he could feel the coldness in the air. Wei Shun remained silent and was afraid to speak a word.
Yu Zeng noticed that Heng Guiying was dragging him away from the stalls in the town, his eyes widened and he immediately stopped walking.
"Are we going home?" Yu Zeng broke the silence. He tried to look at Heng Guiying's face but he couldn't see any emotion.
"Of course!" Guiying answered nonchalantly.
"..." What happened to the friendly and smiling protagonist? Where is he? I had only eaten a stick of strawberries glazed in crispy brown sugar. I also want to try other kinds of food and check some items used for cultivation.
"If you want to go back Guiying, go ahead. Wei Shun and I will stay." Yu Zeng looked at the child beside him.
"I was just joking, let's enjoy the festivities." Heng Guiying laughed and looked at Yu Zeng and Wei Shun.
Heng Guiying smiled and touched Yu Zeng's hair.
From being cold to warm. The protagonist is unpredictable. Yu Zeng felt some goosebumps.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure behind a tree on the darker side of the town was standing, his golden eyes looked at them fiercely.
Yu Zeng ah, you let another man touched your hair. Prepare yourself when we meet again. With that, the figure walked away in the darkness of the night where the moon was the only source of light.

I wonder where is the heroine. Yu Zeng kept looking around but couldn't find a trace of the heroine.
"Guiying! I have been looking for you!" A beautiful lady wearing a long pink robe with wide sleeves approached them. She looked at Yu Zeng. Oh, another handsome man.
"Hello! Are you a friend of Heng Guiying?" Ai Jin smiled at Yu Zeng.
Heng Guiying noticed how Yu Zeng stared intently at Ai Jin and couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you spacing out Yu Zeng?" Heng Guiying placed his hand on Yu Zeng's shoulder.
"I-I'm sorry. Uhmm... yes, we are friends. I'm Yu Zeng and this Wei Shun." Yu Zeng smiled nervously showing his dimples.
I didn't expect that the heroine could be this gorgeous. I wish I have my phone with me right now to take a picture together with her. The protagonist and villain sure are lucky.
Yu Zeng looked at Heng Guiying with resentment. I wonder if I also have a chance to meet someone with a beauty like her. Okay. I will keep some distance from her... to preserve my precious life. You and the villain can fight over for her.
Ai Jin couldn't help but smile inside. Nothing can resist how beautiful I am. Boys, don't fight.
"I want to try other food. Guiying, you can keep her company." Yu Zeng was about to leave with Wei Shun when Guiying suddenly grabbed his arm.
"I'm going with you!" Guiying happily said.
"I'm going too!" Ai Jin said with sparkling eyes and held Heng Guiying's hand. Accompanied by two handsome guys, everyone's eyes will be on me for sure. She was about to hold Yu Zeng's hand but the man hurriedly put his hand on Wei Shun's shoulder.
Heroine, you're so clingy ah. Don't try to hold my hand. I don't want the protagonist to misunderstand. Yu Zeng thought.
When they reached the side of the town where different kinds of food were displayed in the stalls, Yu Zeng couldn't help but feel happy and excited. They went from one stall to another.
Heng Guiying bought some bite-size dumplings. He called for Yu Zeng's attention who was busy looking at some bread buns filled with meat, steamed in round steaming trays made of bamboo. Yu Zeng was about to ask what's the matter when Guiying put a piece of dumpling in his mouth. Yu Zeng had no choice but to chew and swallow it. What's the problem with this protagonist, making me a food tester?
"Do you like it?" Heng Guiying smiled at Yu Zeng.
Yu Zeng smiled back at him, "Thanks, it's delicious!"
"I also want some Guiying!" Ai Jin said while pouting emphasizing her soft and kissable lips.
Go, protagonist! Feed the heroine! The dumpling tastes good and there's nothing wrong with it! My dream to see the sweet moment between the protagonist and heroine in person! I can't wait!
Heng Guiying looked at her and smiled while holding the small circular bamboo container with two pieces of dumplings inside.
"Oh, you also want some?" Guiying asked.
Ai Jin nodded eagerly.
"Okay. Please wait." Heng Guiying let Yu Zeng carry the bamboo container he was holding and left the group. When he came back, he was carrying two small circular bamboo containers with dumplings inside. He gave them to Ai Jin and Wei Shun.
"..." Yu Zeng looked at them. Where is the sweet stuff? That was your chance Mr. Protagonist to get close to the beautiful heroine.
Ai Jin frowned slightly but the people around her didn't notice it. Is this how you treat a beautiful lady? You are lucky for being handsome.
"Thank you for the dumplings!" Ai Jin smiled sweetly and looked at Heng Guiying.
---***---
After stopping the commotion, Ai Jin followed Yu Zeng and Heng Guiying around, looking at the different things sold in each stall.
"Wow! That looks delicious!" Ai Jin smiled widely when she saw some pieces of grilled meat on the stick. She walked towards the stall without waiting for Heng Guiying and Yu Zeng.
Because there were many people, she didn't notice someone walking towards her and she suddenly bumped into someone wearing a mask. His golden eyes looked at her coldly sending shivers to her spine.
"I-I'm sorry." Ai Jin said with watery eyes while biting the bottom of her lips.
The man's gaze softened.
What a beauty! "It's alright! I'm Dong Fang and you are?"
As expected! No one can resist my looks. "Please call me Ai Jin"
"Ai Jin! You walked very fast. Who is that?" Heng Guiying's expression changed into a cold one upon seeing the man with her.
"He is Dong Fang, I just met him now." Ai Jin smiled.
"I'm Heng Guiying and this is Yu Zeng." Guiying extended his hand but the other person didn't accept it.
Ai Jin felt the coldness in the atmosphere and decided to break it.
"Wow! Every food looks delicious! What would you like to try?" She looked at the different food displayed in each stall.
Dong Fang bought grilled meat on a stick and gave it to Ai Jin.
"..." Both Heng Guiying and Yu Zeng looked at Dong Fang fiercely.
Boys no need to fight. Ai Jin thought while eating the grilled meat.
The festivities ended fast and they decided to go home.
"I will send you home." Heng Guiying said.
"No, I will send her home." Yu Zeng argued.
"You two are noisy. I will be the one sending her home." Dong Fang sternly said.
"Oh... you don't need to send me home. I can defend myself." Although I wish for the three of you to send me home.
The three looked at Ai Jin and realized how fragile she was.
"Okay. We will send you home." Heng Guiying said; Yu Zeng and Dong Fang nodded.
