CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 240: LOVES STINKY TOFU THE MOST

However, thinking about how He Qi’an still has work and specially made time to see them in his busy schedule, Lin Fu and Lin Mu had no dissatisfaction with He Qi’an.

"Xiao He, since you’re dating our Yanyan, there’s something I have to make clear..."

Lin Fu looked at his daughter, who was all smiles, feeling a bit heartbroken yet also worried.

"Please go ahead." He Qi’an sat up straight, listening intently.

Lin Fu: "If you and Yanyan can end up together, as parents, we would definitely be happy.

But if not..."

"Uncle..." He Qi’an quickly spoke, wanting to assure him.

Lin Fu interrupted He Qi’an and continued, "Our place here is small, and I hope that if you’re not sure about being together for a lifetime, don’t cross the line!"

"This is my concern, and I hope you both take this matter seriously," Lin Fu said solemnly, glancing at his daughter.

In such matters, it’s usually the girl who suffers. As a father, he had to bring it up, hoping his daughter would seriously consider and not make hasty decisions...

After hearing this, He Qi’an’s expression turned serious, and he sat upright, "Uncle, Aunt, I’m dating Yanyan with marriage in mind, and I understand your concerns.

I assure you here, before marriage, we won’t cross the line!"

Lin Fu nodded, "Thank you, Xiao He."

"Uncle, no need for thanks, it’s what I should do." He Qi’an quickly said.

Lin Xiaoyan was already blushing with embarrassment; she didn’t expect her father would bring this up face-to-face.

After He Qi’an left, Lin Xiaoyan took him to the airport and then went home with Nan Xi.

Upon returning home, they found Aunt Lin had arrived at some point.

"Auntie."

Aunt Lin’s eyes were red, and upon seeing Lin Xiaoyan, she forced a smile, "Yanyan’s back, did you see Xiao He off?"

"Yes, I did. He has to work tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Lin Mu looked at her sister’s current state and sighed, "You shouldn’t meddle in their affairs.

No wonder the divorce rate is so high these days; young people now are different from when we were young!"

Aunt Lin showed a sorrowful expression, "I know, but... alas, with this divorce, Jing Ze becomes someone with a second marriage..."

Lin Fu snorted coldly, "What’s wrong with a second marriage? Nowadays, there are not only second marriages but also third and fourth ones!

He’s not seeing clearly, why are you still trying to persuade!"

"Shut it!" Lin Mu snapped at her husband, annoyed by his thoughtless words.

Lin Fu pouted and turned to his daughter, "What time does Xiao He arrive in Sea City?"

"Seven-thirty."

"Hmm, that’s good; going back early means he can rest well." Lin Fu nodded.

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at her aunt, then looked at her father, silently asking what was going on.

Lin Fu pouted and shook his head, implying not to ask.

"Yanyan, how’s your brother doing in Sea City?"

Aunt Lin suddenly asked.

"My brother? He’s doing quite well."

The sudden change to her brother caught Lin Xiaoyan off guard.

Lin Fu’s expression changed slightly, looking at his daughter, "Aren’t you going out with Nan Xi? You should hurry, it’s getting late."

Lin Xiaoyan paused, looking at her father, noticing he was signaling her to leave.

"Alright."

Lin Xiaoyan called on Sister Nan and quickly left the house.

"Where are we going?"

Nan Xi looked at Lin Xiaoyan, who seemed a bit lost, and asked.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up, having just been pondering what her aunt’s sudden question about her brother meant.

She glanced around, "I’ll take you to try some fried skewers! I loved eating them when I was in school!"

Lin Xiaoyan sent a message to her dad, telling him she wouldn’t be back for dinner.

Then, she and Nan Xi headed to the snack street for some fried skewers.

It was the weekend, the snack street was bustling with people, full of young students and couples...

As soon as they arrived at the snack street, Nan Xi’s expression became serious, warily watching the surroundings.

Lin Xiaoyan linked arms with Nan Xi, smiling as she reassured, "Sister Nan, relax, don’t be so tense. Our place is small, there aren’t that many bad people around."

Nan Xi’s expression eased a bit, but her guard was still up.

"That fried skewer shop is really good, and there’s also a stinky tofu place that’s good, I have to try a bit of everything whenever I come here!"

Lin Xiaoyan reached a familiar place, feeling very happy, realizing she hadn’t been here for a year.

"Oh? What’s with such a long line, what are they selling?"

Lin Xiaoyan noticed a long queue in front of one shop and looked over curiously.

"Ah, it’s stinky tofu!" Lin Xiaoyan’s eyes lit up as she looked at the shop ahead.

Nan Xi wrinkled her nose at the stench in the air, puzzled at how so many people could like this kind of thing!

"Sister Nan, do you like eating stinky tofu?" Lin Xiaoyan asked.

Nan Xi hesitated, then shook her head, "I’ve never tried it, don’t like it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan laughed, "You can’t say you don’t like it if you’ve never tried it. Give it a try later, I guarantee you’ll like it!"

She looked at the long queue at the shop and then at the store she used to frequent at a distance. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go to the stinky tofu shop she used to visit.

Stinky tofu is something that can taste bad if not done right!

"Come on, let’s go to the place where I used to buy from!"

Lin Xiaoyan pulled Nan Xi further along.

Once they reached the long queue, she politely said, "Excuse me, please let us through."

The young people in line saw someone coming, so they made some space.

Lin Xiaoyan led Nan Xi through the crowd.

After squeezing past them, she was stunned.

Nan Xi silently kept close to Lin Xiaoyan, vigilantly scanning the area.

Lin Xiaoyan’s expression froze; she turned her head towards the back, pressing her lips together, and squeezed forward.

She "accidentally" bumped into many people in line and finally stood by the shop, watching the owner hand out stinky tofu to customers.

"Boss, your stinky tofu is so delicious!"

"Haha, thank you, thank you."

"Boss, give me two large portions!"

"Alright!"

"This stinky tofu is delicious, better than the other place, the flavor is more authentic!"

"This stinky smell is overbearing, and it tastes fantastic. I’m taking a portion for my girlfriend!"

...

Listening to the people in line, Lin Xiaoyan’s expression was a bit odd. She glanced around and saw diagonally across was... a public toilet!

After taking in the "scene," Lin Xiaoyan instinctively felt like retching!

Lin Xiaoyan quickly pulled Nan Xi away from the shop.

Once they were far enough, they arrived at the stinky tofu shop she used to frequent.

Smelling the stench in the air, Lin Xiaoyan decided that in the near future... no, from now on! She might not want to eat stinky tofu ever again!!!

Decisively, Lin Xiaoyan pulled Nan Xi away from the area, not wanting to smell those odors anymore; she felt nauseous!
