In the marketplace, especially in a place like this, you can find anything for sale. Tang Nian was drooling over everything she saw and bought a whole bunch of stuff. The two of them found a shady spot, sat down, and ate while chatting.
After they finished eating, the favor had been repaid. Just then, Tang Mubai called, so Tang Nian headed home. Halfway there, she realized that even after chatting for so long and eating together, she hadn't even asked for the guy's name.
"Idiot," she muttered to herself.
When she got home, Tang Mubai was already waiting at the door. "Weren't you going to stay in this afternoon? Why did you go out again? And you ate something?"
"How did you know?"
He walked over to her, reached out, and wiped the cumin off the corner of her mouth. "You've got something on your mouth. Don't they say, even if you sneak a bite, be sure to wipe your mouth clean?"
Tang Nian giggled. "Why are you back so early?"
