At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Xiangjiang Wangjiao street corner.

Gu Yu's hands were both full of bags, while Lin Xinyue walked beside him, both hands holding various snacks and happily munching away.

The sailor uniforms they wore earlier had been replaced by fitting new clothes at a clothing store.

Gu Yu was in a casual white sweater, while Lin Xinyue had changed into a warm yellow knitted cardigan and light-colored capri denim jeans.

Walking on the street now, they no longer stuck out incongruously from the crowd surrounding them.

"Mmm, this is so delicious! Here, you try some!"

Lin Xinyue skewered a curry fish ball with a bamboo stick and popped it into her mouth. As the fragrant broth filled her mouth, a blissful smile covered her face.

Seeing Gu Yu laboriously carrying things, she skewered another fish ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I thought you had forgotten all about me with all this delicious food around!"

Gu Yu looked at her with eyes full of grievance, now that he had become a heartless bag-carrying machine.

"How could I! It's just that these snacks are too tasty! This place is truly a food paradise."

As a foodie, upon arriving in Xiangjiang, Lin Xinyue completely let loose.

Although she got to eat various meals prepared by chefs on the Ark every day, they still couldn't compare to these famous local delicacies with their unique flavors.

Different food flavors are also a slice of life's rich tapestry.

"Eat more, eat more. It's more comfortable to hug you when you're a bit plump."

Gu Yu egged her on with a nudge of his lips.

Just as Lin Xinyue was about to eat a Bowl Rice Pudding she had just opened, she stopped at his words.

She looked at her slightly protruding belly and then licked her lips, which were covered with sauce: "I'm going to get fat..."

"Ah, don't worry, eat more. Once we're back on the ship, we won't have so many delicious treats."

Gu Yu continued to tempt.

He never believed that a girl's figure had to be defined as slender to be beautiful, especially since Lin Xinyue was on the thinner side; a little more plumpness would actually look better on her.

"Ugh, you're so annoying! I was eating so happily, and then you come out with that!"

Lin Xinyue found herself caught in a dilemma with his encouraging words, uncertain whether to eat or not to eat.

She clenched her fist and shook it in front of Gu Yu, but seeing his hands full of bags, she couldn't bring herself to punch him.

After struggling with her expression for a while, she seemed to make up her mind and suddenly said, "No, I'm going to eat! Not only am I going to eat, but I'm going to feed you too! If we're getting fat, we're doing it together!"

Lin Xinyue said huffily, then proceeded to stuff the pineapple-flavored Bowl Rice Pudding she had just opened right into Gu Yu's mouth.

One wasn't enough, so she quickly opened three more, cramming his mouth full before she was satisfied.

"There, much quieter now!" Lin Xinyue looked at Gu Yu, who was puffing out his cheeks and unable to speak, and stuck her tongue out at him triumphantly.

Gu Yu chewed and swallowed with effort, feeling as if he was about to choke to death.

"Some water..." After swallowing half of the Bowl Rice Pudding in his mouth, Gu Yu's voice was barely above a whisper as he called to Lin Xinyue.

Bowl Rice Pudding is cold and jelly-like, but it becomes sticky when eating, and swallowing one or two is okay, but eating four at once not only choked him but also dried his throat...

"Here!" Lin Xinyue took off her water bottle that was hanging around her neck, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu looked at the water bottle presented to him, then at his own hands which were completely occupied, and helplessly looked at Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue pursed her lips, pressed a button on the side of the bottle.

"Pop!" A straw sprung out from the water bottle.

This was something they had bought while shopping at the mall, and it was later filled with cool Arhat Tea at a snack vendor.

Gu Yu hurriedly latched onto the straw and took hearty sips.

The sweet taste of Arhat Tea mixed with the Bowl Rice Pudding and helped it go down; Gu Yu finally felt revivified.

"This tea's good. Let's buy some Arhat fruit to take with us before we leave this afternoon."

After finishing his drink, Gu Yu commented appreciatively.

"Hmmph!" Lin Xinyue rolled her eyes at him.

Gu Yu had called her a foodie?

Yet after only a couple of sips of cool tea, he had already planned out what to take home that afternoon!

"Let's find a place to store these things later, shall we? Since we'll pass this way again in the afternoon anyway!"

Seeing Gu Yu's hands turn red from the weight of the bags, Lin Xinyue suggested with concern.

Earlier at the mall, she had impulsively bought all these clothes and daily necessities.

Only now did she realize they could have easily been purchased before boarding the ship in the afternoon; carrying them all day would wear Gu Yu out.

"Okay, let's find a mall and store them there."

Gu Yu nodded in agreement. Though he was physically strong, keeping his hands occupied was impractical.

It hindered their outing.

With a clear goal in mind, the pair found a medium-sized mall and, after storing their things in lockers at the entrance, they continued their shopping spree.

Lin Xinyue looked at the street scenery, while Gu Yu watched her.

This was their first true honeymoon, and although it was a bit rushed, they enjoyed every moment of it.

They say that for couples, the first honeymoon trip can often lead to various disputes.

But to Gu Yu, everything felt natural, like they were a long-married couple, with an unspoken understanding and harmony between them.

"Excuse me, could you help us take a picture?"

As Gu Yu gazed at Lin Xinyue's retreating figure, slightly lost in thought, Lin Xinyue suddenly turned to a passerby.

"No problem!"

The passerby was a trendy old man leisurely strolling with a boombox on his shoulder. When Lin Xinyue asked for his help, he readily agreed.
