Su Xinyi was also witnessing such a large crowd for the first time. It was not exactly packed like sardines, but it was not far from it.
She was sweating profusely and turned to Su Deng, "Big Brother Deng, this isn't working. Let's wait near the temple and see who shows up."
Su Deng was also drenched in sweat. He wiped his forehead and nodded, "Alright, if they're really here to meet Ma Rude, they wouldn't choose a place too far from the temple. Let's find a hiding spot nearby."
The two reached a consensus, circled around and returned to the temple, looking for a concealed place to hide.
As Su Deng had never met Shi Zhongqian before, he scanned the area, then went to get two cups of cold drinks. Su Xinyi took a sip and immediately felt more refreshed.
Su Deng returned the cups and brought back a small bag of melon, white peaches, and water goose pear snacks drizzled with sweet and sour sauce for Su Xinyi. They were crisp, refreshing, and delicious—perfect for beating the heat.
