Chapter 122 Shu Brocade

After dinner, night was already shrouded in the sky above Kowloon City, and the bright lights were lit up in thousands of households, making the whole city look extremely bright.

Qin Xueyue and Li Yue walked on the street with great satisfaction, attracting passers-by to watch frequently.

If it were Li Yue before, he might have been full of energy, but now he seems a little nervous, and a voice keeps echoing in his heart.

Hold her hand quickly, what a great opportunity, hold her! Take this step bravely and take the initiative! For some reason, Li Yue was able to take the head of the enemy general from thousands of troops, but he didn't have the courage to hold Qin Xueyue's hand.

And the voice in my heart kept echoing: ‘You are so nervous! Holding hands will not kill anyone.

’Li Yue was immediately encouraged by his heart, took a big breath, rushed forward and prepared to grab Qin Xueyue’s hand.

No matter what! I'm going to do my best today! But just as he was about to touch Qin Xueyue, a lively scene suddenly attracted Qin Xueyue's attention.

"It's so lively, let's go and have a look."

Qin Xueyue raised her finger and pointed to the alley ahead and said.

Li Yue was so scared that he quickly withdrew his hand, and was almost discovered by Qin Xueyue. He quickly pretended to be in cooperation: "Oh... OK."

After saying this, Li Yue felt so hatred. When he entered the crowded alley, how could he have the chance to hold hands?

As the two of them moved forward, three alleys of different widths appeared in front of them, and the stone tablets on the side of the road also read the four words "Kuanzhai Alley".

Before this, Li Yue had read some famous attractions in Kowloon City, and Kuanzhai Alley was one of them.

The three parallel alleys are: broad alley, narrow alley, and well alley. Around them are the courtyards with green bricks and tiles, and are also the historical and cultural protection streets of Kowloon City.

Every holiday, Kuanzhai Alley will become an internet celebrity attraction in the eyes of young people, and they will come here in a constant stream.

If there are places that outsiders must visit, Kuanzhai Alley must be one of them.

Here you can fully experience the "slow life" of the people of Kowloon, and you can have retro-style teahouses everywhere.

As Li Yue and the others walked deeper and deeper, the crowds became more and more, and the narrow alleys seemed more crowded.

Qin Xueyue also regretted it a little. She is cold by nature and never likes crowded places. She almost got stepped on her feet several times.

Li Yue couldn't stand it anymore, so he lined up the crowd with his hands, subconsciously grabbed Qin Xueyue's jade hand: "Follow me."

Qin Xueyue's delicate body shook and looked at Li Yue's back in a daze: "You..." This is the first time a man has held his hand. Feeling the temperature from Li Yue's palm, Qin Xueyue's head suddenly became messy.

Gradually, she seemed to get used to this warmth and followed Li Yue's pace to enjoy the night view along the way.

Under Li Yue's protection, no matter how crowded the crowds around him were, they could never get close to her.

Wherever the two went, a human-shaped isolation belt was formed, and Qin Xueyue, who was in it, felt an inexplicable sense of security.

Is this the feeling of being protected by others?

Just as her thoughts were flying, a colorful shop on the side of the road suddenly attracted her attention.

Standing in the distance, looking inside, rows of colorful satin placed on the counter, and many girls were taking photos at the door.

How could Qin Xueyue, who lived a little girl in her heart, not be moved and stopped walking: "Let's go in and take a look."

"OK."

Li Yue had no objection and followed him in.

The layers of silk were dazzling to see, Qin Xueyue called the clerk: "Hello, is this?"

The clerk introduced very politely: "This is a local specialty of 'Shu Brocade'. It existed on the Silk Road back then and has a history of more than two thousand years. In ancient times, Shu Brocade was a luxury that only royal nobles could enjoy, and it was even called 'Crimson Brocade'."

Qin Xueyue was fascinated by the sound of hearing this and said, "That should be very expensive."

The clerk was a little uncomfortable to answer: "Well... Different categories have different prices. If you want to buy it, I recommend you to choose this light blue Shu brocade, which just matches your elegant temperament."

"..." I have to say that the clerk was a little eloquent and quickly convinced Qin Xueyue.

Qin Xueyue: "Just this one, please help me wrap it."

However, just as she was about to pay, Li Yue suddenly walked over with a quaint Shu brocade.

"Wife, I want to buy one, too."

This action undoubtedly aroused Qin Xueyue's suspicion, and she said with a cold tone: "Who are you going to buy for?"

Li Yue quickly waved his hand: "No, wife, don't get me wrong. There is an old man in my family who took care of me a lot at the beginning. I have never bought a gift for her for so many years, so I want to take this opportunity to give her a Shu brocade."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xueyue eliminated the doubts in her heart and nodded: "Then let's buy them together. After all, you are my son-in-law of the Qin family. Just treat it as I respect the old man in your family."

Li Yue was flattered and kept wavering, "How can this be done? You bought me clothes again today and invited me to dinner again..." Before Li Yue finished speaking, Qin Xueyue suddenly raised her hand and interrupted, "It's okay, this money will be deducted from your salary next month."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue's face turned embarrassed. If he had known that he would not have said what he had said just now.

He originally planned to pay his salary to save some private money, but now it's all gone.

The clerk next to him sneered: "Sir, don't worry, our store has a discount."

Li Yue felt a little painful. Is that discount I lacked?

What I lack is money! Since he returned to China, in order to get closer to his role, he took the initiative to freeze his bank card number. Now he is really penniless! After Qin Xueyue swiped the card, Li Yue followed behind with a big bag and a small bag. The two of them went around again and bought a lot of strange things along the way.

There is also the malt sugar that Qin Xueyue likes to eat the most. She has lived a hard life since she was a child, and only sugar can bring her temporary happiness.

Over time, she fell in love with maltose.

Before they knew it, they went around and returned to the hot pot restaurant just now. Li Yue had gift bags hanging all over his body and his legs were almost unconscious.

In contrast, Qin Xueyue was wearing long white legs and holding a piece of maltose in her hands, looking like a little girl who had just finished school.

Li Yue looked back and stood there in a daze, as if he had seen the scene from 2008. A little girl held maltose in her hand, and pulled him out of the ruins like an angel descending to earth.

But what did the cruel life do to this angel?

At the age when he should have enjoyed his youth, he wore old-fashioned professional attire and did not dare to eat maltose anymore, for fear of being treated as a laughing stock by others and losing his prestige.

The two have lived for three months, and maybe today is the most relaxing day for his wife.

Qin Xueyue also noticed Li Yue's gaze at this time, quickly put down the maltose in her hand, and said awkwardly: "What do you think I'm doing?"

Li Yue, who came back to his senses, stammered: "No... nothing, why don't we take a taxi?"

Qin Xueyue didn't think much about it, agreed to Li Yue's proposal, stuffed maltose into Cherry's mouth, and then took out her cell phone.

But just as she was about to call a taxi, a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the hot pot restaurant behind her.

"Boom!"

A trace of black smoke drifted out from the kitchen, and then the flames continued to spread along the walls, vaguely swaying to swallow the entire hot pot restaurant.

The people in the store didn't have the heart to eat at this moment. They were so scared that they flocked to the ground, and some even lost their shoes.

"Run!"

Fortunately, they ran out in time for reaction. The next second, the flame spread to the electric switch in the hall and exploded again.

"boom!"

This time the fire became even more fierce, and a surging fire formed invisibly to wash away everything.

In the blink of an eye, the originally two-story hot pot restaurant was covered with a fire, like a fire dragon that penetrated the sky. The impact of the air waves made everyone retreat.

Many people were directly washed out by this wave of air.

Seeing that the air wave was about to hit, Qin Xueyue was shocked when she stood there and suddenly realized that she was wearing a skirt today! But it was too late when she realized that the air wave had already arrived in front of her.
