Yu Shu recalled the unromantic words Yan Jin had said the night before and hastily spoke before she could. “Don’t you dare say it looks like a salted duck egg.”

[Haha, Yu Shu still has a vivid memory of Yan Jin’s words that ruined the scenery.] [But to be honest, for such a beautiful sunset, I also want to rush over and cover Yan Jin’s mouth to stop her from speaking.] [Tsk tsk, what a cruel and ruthless world for science students.]

“How could you think that of me?” Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu in surprise. “Am I the kind of person who always thinks about food?”

Yu Shu felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

“This clearly looks like a red pot full of beef.” Yan Jin mused, “Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen a hot pot restaurant when I came back this morning. Let’s have hot pot for dinner tonight.”

Yu Shu sighed, “… Alright, let’s eat.”

“Your response sounds so reluctant. Do you not want to eat hot pot?” Yan Jin said seriously, “Although I can’t live without meat, I will respect you. When we eat hot pot later, I’ll ask the restaurant to prepare a table full of vegetarian dishes for you.”

Yu Shu: “Thank you, Sister, but I also like eating meat. You don’t need to specially prepare a table of vegetarian dishes for me.”

The two left Anping Lane, turned left, passed through a small alley, and arrived at the bustling Changping Street.

Although Yan Jin knew there was no curfew in An Country when she escaped from the brothel that day, she felt quite emotional seeing that Yongning County didn’t become silent as night fell, but instead was brightly lit and noisy, turning into a sleepless city.

In ancient times, lighting was too expensive in her home country. Whether it was oil lamps or candles, ordinary people couldn’t afford them. Moreover, in order to prevent crime, the rulers often imposed a curfew.

Yan Jin didn’t know if the absence of a curfew in An Country was due to its developed socio-economy or the result of loose government control. But judging from the lively scenes they saw along the way, Yan Jin felt it was likely the former.

After all, Yongning County was just a small southern city, not the capital of An Country. If the night market in Yongning County was so lively and brightly lit, the capital of An Country must be even more dazzling and bustling.

Changping Street was lined with many taverns and restaurants, with flags embroidered with the names of the establishments hanging outside. Some didn’t even hang flags, just a wine bottle and a broom at the door.

[I waited all day and can finally enter the live broadcast room again. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t use my phone, computer, or tablet while watching the live broadcast, I would want to camp in the live room 24/7.] [I know the morning market in the female-dominant country is very lively, but I didn’t expect them to have no curfew at night. Isn’t it said that there was always a curfew in ancient times? This is different from the ancient times I imagined.] [But the female-dominant country is not the ancient times of our country, darling.]

Yan Jin took Yu Shu to a restaurant with a colorful arch made of bamboo and wire at the door.

When Yan Jin went out to buy things in the morning, she found that the characters in An Country were actually the traditional Chinese characters of her home country. But Yan Jin was afraid that her Chinese language proficiency was not deep enough and she might have misread it, so she brought Yu Shu, who had a deeper understanding of the language than her, to eat out.

And Yu Shu did not disappoint her. He looked up at the plaque, then at the colorful arch decorated with ribbons and fresh flowers on the frame, and said softly to Yan Jin, “This place is so well decorated, needless to say, the consumption definitely won’t be low.”

Yan Jin suddenly asked, “How do you read the simplified Chinese characters of the restaurant name?”

“Shi Wei Xian ah.” Yu Shu glanced at Yan Jin with a hint of doubt, “Don’t simplified and traditional Chinese characters have the same pronunciation? They’re just written differently.”

Yan Jin’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Her guess was right.

Although she didn’t know why the traditional Chinese characters in An Country were the same as those in her home country, it was quite good to not have to pretend to be illiterate in a different world.

It’s just that she had to find a teacher to learn calligraphy, otherwise, being able to read but not write still hadn’t escaped the scope of illiteracy.

“The hot pot inside should taste good too.” Yan Jin gently sniffed, “The aroma is wafting out.”

Yu Shu was in high spirits, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go in.”

The waiter warmly welcomed the two inside, “Are you two planning to eat in a private room or in the hall?”

Yan Jin glanced at the hall. Although there were quite a few people sitting in the hall, it wouldn’t be too noisy, so she said, “The hall then.”

She could conveniently observe how the women in An Country spoke and acted.
