Time in a collapsing world

Fourteenth Street.

"Boss, two crepes, please!"

"Okay, little girl, please wait a moment, you'll be here soon!"

Li was held by Alicia's hand and stood in front of the snack bar selling crepes.

Speaking of which, he hadn't been to such a far away place for a long time. He usually jumped back and forth between going to work and going home to sleep, leaving no time to relax.

If it hadn't been for Alicia this time, he might have been trapped in this endless cycle for the rest of his life.

Li looked around. Fourteenth Street was also called the Food Street. Apart from food, he really couldn't see any storefronts that had nothing to do with food.

"No wonder it's called a food court..." Li muttered, "With such strong business competition, are they really not afraid that their own store will go bankrupt one day?"

Li observed on the way here and found that none of the stores on this street were closed. In other words, either no stores on this street closed down, or there were spaces that were vacated and quickly filled by others.

He doesn't understand, is this street so popular?

"There are so many people vying to settle in this street, so there must be external support." Li thought that her muttering in a low voice could not be concealed from Alicia who was eavesdropping on the side. She said, "As far as I know, , it seems that the Fire Chaser Moth also played a role in it... Oh, by the way, there is also Velvet, she also invested a lot of money here in her own name~?"

"Investment?" Li asked doubtfully.

"Yes, in order to create an atmosphere for enjoying delicious food, the government specially built this street into what it is today. Well... it's like an open-air shopping mall? The profits are very good, and many people want to get a piece of it. "Yeah." Alicia praised their decision, "Look, you can taste all kinds of delicious food on one street. Isn't this a paradise~?"

"Be careful if you eat too much and gain a few pounds." Li spoke quickly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

"Li, what are you talking about? Isn't it common sense that beautiful girls don't gain weight?" Alicia put a hand on Li's shoulder with a bright smile, but Li always felt that she would put her own weight on her at any time. The whole arm was removed.

"...I mean, don't eat too much food at one time. It won't be good if you can't digest it all and it will be left in your stomach." Li Leng was sweating, and gave her own explanation bravely.

"Uh-huh~ So that's what you mean~?" Alicia glanced at the cold sweat on Li's forehead with a smile, "Li, you have to be clearer next time you say something like this, otherwise there will be misunderstandings. Yeah. Girls are very concerned about their weight~?"

"I will follow your teachings!" Li behaved extremely well at this time.

"Little girl, your... Huh? What are you doing?" The owner of the snack bar stuck his head out and looked at the two people's postures strangely. He thought for a while and suddenly realized, "Ahem, the love between lovers Either way, it’s OK…haha.”

Damn it, what's going on with this feeling of envy? !

"Hey, boss, are these two crepes mine?" Alicia let go of Li's shoulder, but she still held him with her other hand. From an outsider's perspective, it really looked like a She is just like an ordinary girl who is inseparable from her boyfriend.

"Ah, yes, this is your crepe for two, please put it away." The boss was wondering if he should also seek a love of his own. After being single for so many years, he suddenly saw a couple. The display of affection between handsome men and beautiful women in front of him really stimulates his desire for the opposite sex.

"Thank you, boss~?" Alicia politely thanked her and happily took the bag containing the crepes, while Li looked at the boss's hand in front of her with a confused look on her face.

"What are you looking at? Give me money!" The boss didn't have a good look on Li Ke. Just the fact that Li Ke was standing next to a beautiful girl like Alicia was enough reason for him to become a bachelor like him.

Li reacted and quickly waved her hands, pointing to Alicia aside. It means, she is the one who pays, so don’t come to me.

The boss saw what Li wanted to express, and looked at Alicia blankly as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I almost forgot to pay." Alicia put the money for two crepes in the stiff boss's hand. It looked like it was a little more than the original price. It should be Gave a tip.

"Li, here, this is yours. Let me tell you, I just took a bite and it is really delicious~?"

Alicia's distant voice reached his ears, and the boss's eyes couldn't help but shed two lines of hot tears.

"Boss, boss, two crepes!"

“The crepes are sold out!”

"Huh? But I see there's still some stock in there..."

"I'm not in the mood today, I won't sell it!"

"Ehhhhh?!"

……

After leaving the snack bar, Alicia also took Li to visit various other gourmet restaurants, whether it was candied haws, stinky tofu, etc., anyway, they ate all the famous ones.

Tsk tsk, there is a reason why Alicia is called the pink fat bitch by some of her colleagues in Fire Chaser. With her appetite, most people really can’t compare. Of course, maybe she was too excited today and ate too much. Maybe.

As for Li... he is not a normal person. His appetite is about the same as Alicia's. Is that reasonable?

"Li, open your mouth, ah~?"

"?What are you doing?"

Li subconsciously slapped away the takoyaki that Alicia held out to her, causing Alicia to panic and almost let it fall to the ground.

"Li..." Alicia's eyes were full of resentment, "It's rare for a beautiful girl to feed you, and your reaction is so heartbreaking..."

"Ah... I'm sorry." Li knew that he was in the wrong this time, so he apologized sincerely.

When something suddenly reached out to him, he thought Alicia was going to take some action to persecute him again. Avoiding possible dangers was his subconscious behavior and he couldn't control it.

"If you're really sorry...?" Alicia handed him the takoyaki box and skewer.

"? Give them all to me?" Li took it, a little unsure, "Then...thank you?"

If you do something wrong, you have to eat all the food. How can there be such a good thing in this world?

"Oh, considering it's the first time for you and me to come out..." Alicia muttered in a low voice, feeling a little tired, "Li, have you seen that sign? Pick it up and insert an octopus." Burn, and then, ah~?”

Alicia opened her mouth.

"Ah... um, is that so?" Although he didn't understand Alicia's intention, Li did as she said, but what he fed was into his own mouth, and he swallowed it wholeheartedly as soon as he put it in. There was almost no taste. After eating it quickly, he asked, "So what's the purpose of your explanation just now?"

"..." Alicia patted Li's shoulder again.

Here it comes again, that feeling of death.

"Li, are you pretending to be stupid?" Alicia's fingers have been slightly curled, which is the rhythm of exerting force.
