What Lin Xi didn't expect was that Gu Tingxiao had arrived at the state-owned hotel early and was standing at the door, looking forward to waiting for her.

"Why are you here so fast?" Seeing that Gu Tingxiao had already changed into clean clothes, Lin Xi couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. This man's appearance was very much in line with her aesthetic standards. Should she consider winning him over?

"I take a shower very quickly." Gu Tingxiao just blurted out, and it was too late to take it back.

Was he speaking too casually? Would she think he was a little "random"?

"That's right. He is a grown man after all." Lin Xi saw his embarrassment and found a way out for him.

"Where are we going now?" Gu Tingxiao was in the city for the first time and was not familiar with the place, so he wanted to ask Lin Xi's opinion.

"Why don't we go around first?" Lin Xi was not very familiar with the city, and she made this suggestion because she had another purpose. She wanted to go to the black market to see if normal trading had resumed there.

"Okay, let's get familiar with each other first." Gu Tingxiao had no other opinions.

The two of them were walking on the street about one meter apart. Lin Xi looked at Gu Tingxiao from time to time. Why did he look so strange?

Uh... Lin Xi couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. She knew something was wrong. Gu Tingxiao was walking with his hands and feet together.

With a "puchi" sound, Lin Xi couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu Tingxiao paused, his body became even stiffer, and he suddenly became more nervous.

Lin Xi: Do I look that scary?

Gu Tingxiao: No, you are beautiful! I was just too excited.

"I... I'm so happy." Being able to be with you, Gu Tingxiao only dared to think the second half of the sentence in his heart and dared not say it out loud.

"Relax, relax!" Lin Xi stopped laughing and comforted him with a few words.

I don’t know if it’s because of Lin Xi’s comforting words or because Gu Tingxiao has already adapted to the situation, but he feels that he is not as nervous as he was at the beginning, and his walking manner has become normal.

The two went to the department store. Lin Xi didn't buy anything, but Gu Tingxiao bought some gifts for his family. However, they were all small gadgets, not expensive things. However, when Lin Xi went to the bathroom, Gu Tingxiao bought a Shanghai brand ladies' watch. Lin Xi didn't know about this.

"Do you want to go shopping again?" Seeing that Gu Tingxiao had a lot of things in his hands, Lin Xi naturally reached out to help him get some.

"No need, I'll treat you to dinner at the state-owned restaurant!" Gu Tingxiao dodged her hand, not wanting to make her tired.

"Okay!" Lin Xi agreed with a smile. As for the fact that Gu Tingxiao didn't let her take the things, she felt that this was very normal in this era.

"Look at what you want to eat. We have braised pork today." Gu Tingxiao gestured to Lin Xi to look at the menu written on the other side of the window.

"Then let's have a serving of braised pork!" Lin Xi didn't bother to be polite with Gu Tingxiao and ordered the dish directly.

In fact, she didn't have too high requirements for what to eat. After all, food was hard to come by in the apocalypse. It was good enough to have something to eat, so how could she be picky?

"Okay, I'll go order the food, you sit down for a while."

Gu Tingxiao first ordered a portion of braised pork, then a steamed sea bass and a portion of green vegetables, plus four meat buns.

"Comrade, the total is eight dollars and twenty cents." The waiter reported the total price.

Although he didn't have much money left, Gu Tingxiao took out the money without any hesitation, thinking that at worst he would just eat less for the next two days.

"for you."

"Wait for your number to be called." The waiter took the money and handed him a wooden sign with the number written on it.

When Lin Xi saw him coming back with the wooden sign, she knew that Gu Tingxiao had already ordered. She didn't ask what he ordered, and the two of them just sat there quietly waiting for the food.

I have to say that state-owned enterprises are very efficient. In less than ten minutes, their numbers were called.

Gu Tingxiao ran twice and brought back three dishes and four meat buns.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold." Seeing Lin Xi in a daze, Gu Tingxiao urged her to eat while it was hot.

"Ah? Okay, I'll eat it right away." Lin Xi picked up a piece of braised pork and ate it. Although it was delicious, she felt that it was still a little worse than the dishes made by Grandma Su.

"You eat too." Lin Xi noticed that Gu Tingxiao was only busy picking up vegetables and had not picked up any meat, so she couldn't help but pick up a piece of braised pork for him.

Lin Xi: This guy doesn’t want to leave all the meat for me, does he?

Gu Tingxiao: Of course I should save the delicious food for my wife.

Lin Xi: Get lost! When did I become your wife?

Gu Tingxiao: It will be soon.

"Thank you!" Gu Tingxiao thanked with red ears.

When Lin Xi heard her words of thanks, she really wanted to say to him, "Brother, you bought this, you don't have to thank me, I just moved my chopsticks." But when she saw his red ears, Lin Xi said nothing.

Lin Xi ate a bowl of rice and a meat bun and couldn't eat anymore.

"I'm full, take your time eating." Lin Xi slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Would you like to eat some more?" Gu Tingxiao was afraid that Lin Xi was embarrassed to eat so much.

"I'm really full." Lin Xi shook her head. She was indeed full.

Seeing that Lin Xi didn't seem to be lying, he stopped trying to persuade her and started eating. He didn't eat much just now because he was afraid that there wouldn't be enough food. Now that Lin Xi was full, the leftovers couldn't be wasted.

Although Gu Tingxiao ate very quickly, he didn't look rude at all, and even looked quite pleasing to the eye!

Oh my god! What happened to her just now? Did she lose her mind? Lin Xi slapped her face, trying to wake herself up.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Tingxiao asked with concern when he saw her suddenly slap her face.

"It's nothing, just a little hot. I'll go out for a walk for a while. You eat slowly. Eating so fast is not good for your stomach." Lin Xi said and turned around and left the state-owned restaurant without waiting for Gu Tingxiao to speak.

Was she just caring about me? Gu Tingxiao smiled foolishly when he thought of this possibility.

He had to finish eating quickly so that he could go find Lin Xi. When Gu Tingxiao wanted to eat faster, he thought of what Lin Xi said, and then he slowed down his eating speed for some unknown reason.

Gu Tingxiao: I have to listen to my wife and eat slowly.

Lin Xi: I just want to find a reason to get rid of you!

Gu Tingxiao: No! You just care about me and won’t accept any rebuttal!

Lin Xi: As long as you are happy!

At this time, Lin Xi had already walked near the black market. When he saw people sneaking in in groups of three or four, Lin Xi was sure that the black market was still open, but it was not as lively as before.

After changing her clothes, Lin Xi loaded some samples into a backpack and headed for the black market. She came here this time to find someone who could buy her goods in large quantities, otherwise selling them in small quantities would be time-consuming and laborious, and it would be easy for her to be targeted.

When Lin Xi saw that there were few people in the black market, his heart sank immediately. The people coming and going did not look like reselling people.

Lin Xi sold the things in the backpack absentmindedly, thinking of Gu Tingxiao from the state-owned restaurant, and decided to leave.

It seems that this trip was in vain, as I just got so much windfall.

Suddenly, she saw a middle-aged man carrying a large woven bag and entering a yard on the left. Was he here to work?

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she took out some samples from the space and put them in the backpack. If she guessed correctly, the people in the yard must have the ability to eat her goods.
