When Xu Qingfan carried Xia Xiaoxiao back to Lianhua Courtyard, it was already close to midnight.
The reason for their late return was, of course, because of the girl on his back causing trouble. Midway through their trip, she suddenly claimed she was hungry. Although Xu Qingfan offered to cook noodles for her at home, the girl refused and insisted on eating stir-fried beef ho fun and carp porridge from the street stalls.
Deboned fresh carp meat, placed into a clay pot with white porridge to simmer, would release its full flavor. Its tastiness was comparable to seafood porridge, and most importantly, it was economical and filling.
The dramatic scenes often depicted in TV shows with flirtatious thugs didn't happen. Not to mention the ongoing campus reform movement for the past two years, even in their previous life when Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao had lived in this city for more than twenty years, nothing similar had happened.
