"Sister Xuxu, I'll send you home . " Qi Lei took off his huge white coat in a hurry and hastily followed after Xuxu .
When they neared the door, Xuxu pushed him backward and said, "It's alright, you should rest early . You've been working hard the whole day . "
But Qi Lei insisted . "I'll just send you to the entrance of your area . "
Xuxu didn't reject him again . The wind was rather strong at night, so she hurriedly placed the hood of her coat over her head .
She stuffed her hands in the pockets of her coat and walked ahead of Qi Lei .
There were many foreigners in the area, and many roadside stalls were open for business in the evening . However, when the stall owners closed their stalls, their rubbish would be strewn everywhere .
A strong gust of wind would scatter the rubbish everywhere .

It was almost nine in the evening, and some stalls were still open .
They walked past a stall selling dumplings, and the delicious smell wafted to Xuxu's nostrils . Xuxu halted her footsteps and greedily stared at the pot of delicious-looking dumplings as the steam rose from the pot . Her stomach began to grumble .
Qi Lei saw Xuxu staring at the pot . He was rather amused, and so he asked, "Sister Xuxu, do you still feel like eating dumplings?"
Xuxu grinned . "I'll treat you to supper . "
She walked to the stall and said to the owner . "Give me two bowls . "
Then she saw the rows of food displayed as well . She added, "Give me some beancurd and a tea leaf egg as well . "
"Sure," the stall owner responded cheerily .

The corners of Qi Lei's mouth twitched . "Sister Xuxu, are you sure you can finish everything?"
They just ate dinner earlier at seven p . m .
Xuxu turned to glance at Qi Lei, and instead, asked, "Do you want to eat anything else?"
Qi Lei shook his head profusely . "I'm not hungry . "
He might even have difficulty swallowing a dumpling .
The stall owner had set up a tent-like temporary shack on the pavement using some plastic covers . He had squeezed three tables inside . Although it was cramped, it was cozy and warm .
The lamp post cast a dim light around them while there were two lamps providing light inside the tent .
Xuxu & Qi Lei walked into the tent . There was a couple sitting at one of the tables .
They took the table beside theirs .
The stall owner shortly came to them with two steaming bowls of dumplings, and Xuxu could hardly wait to tuck in .
She scooped some soup with a spoon . She blew at it before sipping it .
"Boss, give us three bowls . "
The voices belonged to a group of men, and their presence alerted Xuxu . Everyone glanced outside .
Three huge and burly men stood at the stall . They proceeded into the shack after ordering .
Xuxu sat facing the entrance of the shack .
She caught a glimpse of their appearance when she looked up . They all had brightly dyed hair with cigarettes in their hands . They looked like hooligans as they sauntered haughtily .
Xuxu didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and somehow it intensified after her pregnancy .
When the men entered the room, smoke shortly filled the space . When they walked nearer to them, she felt nauseous, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose . She frowned before turning her head away from them to avoid the smoke .
She had an obvious look of dislike on her face .
She attracted the attention of one of the three burly men . He suddenly stopped and bent his head to glare at her menacingly . "What's wrong? Are you looking down on me?"
