A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 185

John lowers his head and asks Lily, "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay." They are too close now, causing Lily to feel a little uneasy. She tries to stand straight, but the subway suddenly shakes, and Lily falls into John's embrace again.

"..."

This is awkward.

John doesn't think there is anything wrong. He grabs the handrail with one hand and supports her shoulder with the other.

In the past, when they were students, John often took the subway with Lily, but there were not many people on the subway at that time. However, now, people are squeezed around like sardines.

Fortunately, she is by his side.

"We'll get off at the Ivy Road station. There are only four stops left." To avoid the awkward moment of silence, Lily casually says, "I don't know what happened today, there is not even one spare taxi."

The girl next to her happens to hear it and says, "You got on the subway at the Golden Maple Road station, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"So that's it. The Golden Maple Road is often jammed with traffic," The girl explains, "Drivers usually don't go there on weekends. Moreover, today is the Gourmet Festival, so they all go to Ivy Road for more passengers."

Lily gets it.

No wonder she couldn't get a taxi just now. There is no driver at all.

The girl is a chatterbox. She can't stop talking to Lily. When she learns that Lily and John are tourists, she gives them a lot of travel suggestions.

"I think your boyfriend is so handsome." After a lot of nagging, the girl looks at John. If not for her boyfriend, she may have accosted him. "Is he a star?" she asks.

Lily raises her eyebrows and answers, "No, we're just ... friends."

"Oh, friends," The girl says naughtily, "But after tonight, your relationship may change. Because it’ so lively today!"

"What do you mean?" Lily doesn't get it. Seeing that the subway is so crowded but the green rose in the girl's boyfriend's hand is still intact, she can't help but ask, "I just want to know that is this green rose very valuable? Your boyfriend has always been careful to protect it, as if he is so afraid that it will be crushed."

"I forget that you are not locals." The girl takes out a candy from her pocket and gives it to Lily, saying, "I have plenty. Here's one for you. But as for the rose, your boyfriend has to think of his own way!"

"What?"

Coincidentally, the subway arrives at the Ivy Road station, and people are all trying to get off. The noise swallows Lily's voice.

When they part, the girl waves her hand at Lily and says loudly, "If you have time, you can go to Sea of Stray Birds. I hear that picking up a heart-shaped stone there will bring you good luck!"

Then she disappears into the crowd.

There are too many people in this station. John holds Lily's hand and tries to get out of the station. After a while, they finally get out and can breathe the fresh air.

"Come on, iced watermelons and cantaloupe!"

"Authentic local roasted sausage!"

"..."

The road outside the subway is also filled with people and various snack stalls, which are bustling with activity.

Seeing that John is still holding her hand, Lily hurriedly pulls it out and coughs uneasily. Only now does she realize that the candy that girl gave her is in a pink rabbit wrapping, which is quite cute.

John asks, "Where do you want to go?"

"Follow the crowd," Lily says. It is afternoon, but there are already so many people here. She says confusedly, "Won't the Gourmet Festival start at night? Why are there so many snack stalls already?"

John looks at the crowd and says in a smile, "Probably because it's weekend."

Lily thinks for a moment and agrees to this guess.

They walk along the street that is filled with smells of all kinds of snacks.

Usually, when Lily glances over and has not even spoken, John has already bought one for her. Lily feels quite embarrassed.

Suddenly, a girl rushes over and stands in front of John. She gives him something with a blushed face.

"May I?"

Lily notices it is a candy in pink rabbit wrapping.
