Chapter 1329: Caged Bird
No matter how Su Xiaoxiao tried to persuade her, she couldn't change Mo Zixun's mind.
Soon, Mo Zixun changed into her outfit for going out and walked out.
It was truly a simple outfit: a white cartoon T-shirt paired with ordinary denim shorts. Yet even so, it couldn't hide her snow-white skin and graceful figure at all.
Her feet were adorned with well-fitting sandals, and to mask her exquisite features, she wore a large pair of sunglasses.
"Brother Feng, how does this look?"
Mo Zixun asked Jiang Feng with blushing cheeks and a smile.
"It's fine."
Jiang Feng nodded, feeling a bit awkward, thinking to himself that he had merely asked her to wear leather pants, yet she now came to seek his opinion on another outfit.
"Hehe, then let's go!" Mo Zixun said playfully.
"Okay."
Jiang Feng glanced at the pouty Su Xiaoxiao and the complex expression on Du Bin's face, then took Mo Zixun with him and left in front of them.
...
Since she had kept her head down and intentionally hid behind Jiang Feng, Mo Zixun, this red-hot starlet, wasn't recognized when they took the elevator down.
This made Mo Zixun feel a sense of great relief. This was truly her first time "sneaking out" to have fun, feeling both nervous and a bit excited.
"Phew, finally got down here!"
Mo Zixun glanced back at the media center building, feeling it was like a giant cage and shackles, from which she was finally temporarily freed.
Jiang Feng observed her joyous demeanor with mixed feelings, reflecting on the downsides of being a celebrity. At least personal freedom was restricted, going anywhere was inconvenient, and paparazzi were always around.
Now, with him by her side, Mo Zixun could finally enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
Just as Jiang Feng was pondering, he suddenly felt a smooth and warm sensation on his arm, and looking down, he saw Mo Zixun had linked her arm with his.
"You—?"
"Brother Feng, don't misunderstand."
Mo Zixun's cheeks turned slightly red as she forcibly explained, "I have no choice, only by pretending to be a regular couple with you won't people notice, and no one will suspect it's me..."
Jiang Feng suddenly understood.
But would this really work? With her figure and beauty, she would attract attention regardless!
And there weren't many fans around here anyway. Jiang Feng still felt she was using a legitimate excuse to act in her own interest...
"Brother Feng, where are we going? The sun is so strong, I should've applied some sunscreen before coming out."
Mo Zixun covered her forehead with her small hand, nestling beside Jiang Feng like a little bird, pouting.
She was in such a hurry, she didn't bring a sunshade or apply protection, which could easily lead to sunburn.
"I have a car, it's at that intersection up ahead, let's go there first."
Jiang Feng had no choice but to take her to the car.
However, when they crossed the intersection and arrived at the Koenigsegg, Mo Zixun was completely stunned, pointing and asking, "Brother Feng, is this... your car?"
"A friend's." Jiang Feng opened the car door, motioning for Mo Zixun to get in first.
Mo Zixun's mood was still unsettled. Not to mention that this Koenigsegg was obviously a limited edition, incredibly expensive, it was completely unlike Jiang Feng's low-key nature, and the vivid red color was clearly a woman's model. The Brother Feng she imagined actually driving a woman's car...
"Is it the 'friend' you called?"
Mo Zixun sat in the passenger seat, intentionally asking.
"No, another one."
Jiang Feng got in himself and started the car.
Mo Zixun was even more unsettled, another one?!
How many beautiful women did Jiang Feng know? How many bosom friends did he have?!
On second thought, this wasn't surprising!
A good man like Jiang Feng, full of heroic and tender feelings and unfathomable strength, it's no wonder girls are fond of him!
Not to mention, even she herself, who always claimed to be aloof and detached from such things, quickly developed a liking for Jiang Feng in a short period!
At this moment, Mo Zixun suddenly felt a heightened sense of crisis, feeling insecure.
But it was this very crisis that sparked a sense of competition within her!
She was confident that she was not inferior to any girl out there, so she absolutely wouldn't lose to any of the beauties around Jiang Feng!
"Where are we going?"
After calming her emotions, Mo Zixun glanced at Jiang Feng and asked.
"As I told you, I'm not from the Provincial City and I'm not familiar with it, but we're not going to Temple Street; it's not a real place for food, let's find a genuine food street instead."
Jiang Feng said as he drove and checked travel guides, quickly finding another famous food street in the Provincial City, conveniently nearby.
He set the location and drove them there.
Mo Zixun remained silent the entire time, just looking at Jiang Feng in a meaningful way as he acted as her guide, feeling a sense of satisfaction she couldn't put into words.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the food street.
This food street wasn't as upscale as Temple Street, but it was busier, filled with various local specialties from Jiangdong, like skewers, grilled squid, roujiamo, pancake rolls with fillings, dumplings, spicy hotpot, beef noodles, and more.
Mo Zixun stared in a bit of a daze.
With her status and aura, she had never been to a place like this before; she had only heard of such market food streets, so arriving for the first time she felt a touch of excitement and more than a little curiosity.
Don't assume just because she's a big star she belongs on a pedestal; on the contrary, she is just like the girl next door, having moments of curiosity and craving, albeit without the right opportunity. Today, Jiang Feng finally fulfilled her wish!
What made her even more appreciative was having Jiang Feng accompany her. Compared to having Du Bin and Su Xiaoxiao around, she felt more relaxed and safe, able to fully enjoy herself!
"Let's get going."
Of course, Jiang Feng wasn't aware of how much Mo Zixun treasured this moment. He parked the car and told her.
"Hmm~"
They parked the car at the entrance and walked into the street.
The street was relatively wide, but it was a mix of all kinds—an absolute hubbub of noise, getting busier the deeper they went, with all sorts of passersby.
Based on Jiang Feng's experiences, not only were there tourists here, there were bound to be all sorts of shady characters and troublemakers lurking around, leaving him no choice but to take up the responsibility to protect Mo Zixun, staying close by her side.
Suddenly, with a loud "bang!", a popcorn pot nearby burst open, catching Mo Zixun by surprise. She instinctively covered her ears and shrank into Jiang Feng's arms, frightened.
Jiang Feng looked at her tense, adorable appearance and felt like laughing but managed to hold it in.
Mo Zixun realized her overreaction, feeling extremely shy and embarrassed, awkwardly sticking out her little tongue. But when she noticed herself publicly snuggled in Jiang Feng's embrace, her face instantly turned a deep red!
