Chapter 90 - PDA IS ILLEGAL
Stefan held her hand and led her to the start of the line. "Let's start here. Find something that you want to eat." Cayenne look around and found a skewered boiled blood of a chicken which was sliced in cubes.
"I like this." She took three sticks of it and asked for the small Styrofoam saucer. She asked for a sauce and dipped the skewered blood. "You should try this."
"I don't like skewered blood."
"Just try it. It won't kill you. Duh." She even rolled her eyes and ate the food enthusiastically. "If you don't like this, you can get this instead." She put down her stick on the saucer and picked up skewered chicken feet. "Here."
"This one's fine." Stefan ate it with gusto and he even took another stick of it. "Do you want this?" he raised a skewered chicken intestine.
"Hn. I want two of that."
"Here." Stefan gave her two sticks and he got two for himself. The two of them ate their food happily and Cayenne picked up five quail eggs which was coated in orange colored flour and fried in oil. She likes it so much. She also gave Stefan five of them. "Anything else?"
"None from here. Let's move to the other stall." She suggested which was two steps away from them. Stefan paid for their food and the two of them walked to the other stall after getting back the change. "Look at this!" Hana stated excitedly while pointing on the display behind a glass. "They've got 'siomai and ngohiong'. I like them so much when dipped in a super spicy sauce. Have you tried them?"
"Yup. I ate them a lot back in college. How many do you want?"
"I'll have five for each of them."
The vendor got her order and placed it in small Styrofoam plate. Stefan got the same number of food as her. The two of them shared a hot sauce that Stefan made. "I didn't make it too spicy. It's not good for you."
"Hn. I understand."
She ate her food happily that she didn't even notice some of the sauce and oils were all over the side of her mouth. Stefan pulled out his handkerchief and wiped her mouth for her. "Make sure you don't spill your food on your shirt. I only have one handkerchief for you."
"I'll remember that." She smiled sweetly at him which made Stefan cover his lower face with the back of his hand.
'This is bad. This is bad. My plan is going to backfire at me for sure. Her smile is just too much and contagious.'
"Stefan? Are you alright?" Cayenne asked him when he stopped eating and speaking to her. "Did I say something wrong or are you not feeling well?"
Stefan shook his head immediately. "I'm fine. I just thought that you really are beautiful tonight."
"Tch! PDA is illegal." One of the customers mumbled but it was still loud enough for the others to hear and they all know that only Stefan and Cayenne were displaying their affection publicly. The customers and other vendors chuckled once again.
Cayenne lowered her head and continued to eat her food slowly. She needed to eat it slowly or she will choke because she was having a hard time stopping the abnormal beat of her heart. 'This man is going to kill me with his words and actions. I might have a heart attack because of him.'
Nonetheless, they just continued to eat. There were so many foods that they've yet to explore. After eating, Stefan paid for their food and they moved to the other stall.
"No PDA this time, okay? I don't want the ants to come to my stall because of your sweetness." The lady vendor commented when she saw the two of them again.
Cayenne just laughed awkwardly while scratching the tip of her nose. Stefan was just holding her hand. As long as Cayenne wasn't holding anything and his hand was also free, he would always intertwine their fingers together. He wanted to feel her warmth as much as possible when she's close to him.
The vendor was selling some sea foods this time. It was a bit more expensive compared to the other food but it was still worth it. Cayenne got a squid barbeque, several pieces of barbecued scallops and several pieces of shrimps and she shared a barbecued fish with Stefan. She just couldn't finish one whole piece of fish by herself.
Since the shrimps still got shells on it, Stefan had to peel them for Cayenne. In the end, Cayenne was feeding him with other food while he was busy peeling the shells of the shrimp.
"Sigh. I just told you that PDA is no no. Look at the other customers, they're all captivated by you."
Cayenne looked around them and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. This is just how we are. I hope you guys don't mind."
"No problem. No problem. Even if we're envious, it is still your relationship. We're rooting for you."
"Correct. I am single and I will just wish to find someone like him in the future."
"I agree."
"This couple is really one of a kind." She turned to Cayenne with her phone. "Can I post this picture in my social media account?"
"Is it showing our face?" Cayenne asked, worried that she'd be seen by her colleagues or neighbors through the picture. Although the two of them were not wearing their glasses, they were still wearing their caps for disguise. Even so, Cayenne was still not reassured with her disguise.
"Don't worry, I didn't capture your face. Just your back."
"Okay."
The lady smiled happily and immediately posted the picture of Cayenne and Stefan. 'This couple is very sweet. They're obviously rich but they came to eat the street food and they ate a lot. I hope they'll stay together forever.'
Sadly, her wish won't be granted. Because the storm was slowly closing in to them. And this was brought by Cayenne's mother.
