Entering Dao from Infancy

Summary

Li Hao and Li Yuan Zhao visit Uncle Liu's stall, famous for its crispy cotton candy. Despite a decrease in the crowd due to students heading to the Tan Palace Academy, Li Hao notices a long line of young women and servants waiting for treats. Li Yuan Zhao loudly orders food, attracting attention as they are recognized as sons of wealthy families.
