26. What should we sell?

Upon hearing Xi Zhengyu's words, Xie Shiyu looked up at him, and their eyes met.

Xie Shiyu shook her head and replied, "I'm not afraid, because I know why you hit him."

"What he said was inappropriate, that's why you're angry."

After saying that, she opened her arms and hugged the man in front of her, burying her face in his chest.

Smelling the unique fragrance emanating from the other person, Xie Shiyu said, "Thank you, Xi Zhengyu."

Xie Shiyu said this with heartfelt sincerity during her years in the entertainment industry.

She has been framed, photoshopped into black and white by fans, and cyberbullied. Sometimes her manager even drags her to drink with clients.

Shen Yu's comment about "second-hand goods" was completely innocuous to her, but it was precisely because of that one sentence that the man in front of her immediately raised his fist and started fighting with her.

No one would ever defend themselves like that. Those men would just look at her face and make lewd jokes, and make all sorts of teasing about her figure.

So after Xie Shiyu made enough money, she retired from the entertainment industry without saying a word.

Even at the peak of her career, she resolutely chose to retire from the entertainment industry.

Looking at the little mermaid who was hugging him tightly, Xi Zhengyu felt secretly pleased. His little mermaid had taken the initiative to hug him.

Xi Zhengyu felt pleased, but he said, "You are my wife. If he insults you, he is insulting me. Of course, I should fight back."

Xie Shiyu was initially very touched, but after hearing these words, she silently withdrew her emotions.

She thought this man was genuinely protecting her, but it turned out he was just protecting his own reputation.

Men are all like that; they only love themselves.

I was moved too soon.

Because Xie Shiyu was hungry, Xi Zhengyu found a restaurant nearby and took her there to eat.

This was my first time visiting this store. It was incredibly opulent and luxurious. The moment you stepped inside, you were enveloped in a feeling of extravagance and decadence.

The waiter, dressed in uniform, stood by smiling and serving them, glancing at the menu.

Xie Shiyu was surprised to find that there were many dishes she liked to eat, so she ordered four of them in a row, and then realized that it was a bit too much.

"Can the two of us finish this?" Xie Shiyu asked with concern. "Won't it be wasteful?"

"No." Xi Zhengyu took the menu, glanced at it, and then ordered two desserts and one of his favorite dishes.

As the food was served, Xie Shiyu sipped her drink and looked around the restaurant.

The decor is too luxurious. Walking in doesn't feel like a place to eat; it feels more like a place to flaunt wealth.

There were very few people eating in the restaurant; if you counted, there were only four tables including theirs.

"Is this store about to go out of business?" Xie Shiyu put down her water glass, propped her cheeks up with her hands, and looked at Xi Zhengyu sitting opposite her.

"No." Xi Zhengyu replied without even looking up, and while waiting for the food, he processed the urgent documents sent by Changxuan.

“But hardly anyone is eating,” Xie Shiyu said.

"The people who come to this restaurant are all either rich or powerful," Xi Zhengyu explained to her.

After finishing processing a document, Xi Zhengyu finally looked up from the screen and gazed at Xie Shiyu.

Then his eyes turned to the tables of people eating not far away, and he simply glanced at who was sitting at those tables.

"Do you remember those people's faces?" Xi Zhengyu picked up the teapot and poured water into Xie Shiyu's empty cup, then asked casually.

Xie Shiyu shook her head. Why bother remembering them? She didn't know them.

Seeing her shake her head, Xi Zhengyu began to explain to her, "The old man with white hair is a famous biologist, and the person opposite him is an academician who has made great achievements in the field of fertility."

"They're probably discussing business at the table behind you. They've discovered a new energy source on PL4 satellite, so they're likely talking about this project."

"The table in the corner is occupied by four or five members of the cabinet; they often meet up for meals together."

Hearing him say that, Xie Shiyu quickly went to look at it again.

They were all incredibly low-key, yet their identities were so high-profile.

After watching this, let's go back to Xi Zhengyu. Hmm... she's only able to sit here because of the man opposite her.

The food was served quickly, and Xie Shiyu, who was starving, picked up her chopsticks and started eating without a second thought.

Holding a fork, Xi Zhengyu watched as his little mermaid used chopsticks to pick up the meat.

"Can you use chopsticks?" Xi Zhengyu asked.

"Yes, I can." Xie Shiyu found his question strange; everyone knows how to use chopsticks. "You can't?"

"meeting."

After saying that, Xi Zhengyu silently put down his fork.

Nowadays, far fewer people use chopsticks; only those with black hair and yellow skin use them.

After the meal, Xie Shiyu finally understood why he had asked that question.

Xi Zhengyu! He! Isn't very good at using chopsticks!

OMG——

Xie Shiyu felt like the sky was falling. In this strange world, would all the traditions have been lost?

At this moment, Xie Shiyu realized even more clearly that she had really transmigrated to the interstellar era and become a mermaid.

Waaah, the species have all changed.

After finishing their meal, Xie Shiyu sat there leisurely enjoying her dessert, while Xi Zhengyu was busy with his work.

It seems they are really busy, otherwise they wouldn't have started working immediately after finishing their meal.

The leftover food on the table was cleared away one by one, and the waiter thoughtfully served them fresh tea and snacks.

Xie Shiyu propped her head up and looked at the man opposite her. Men who are working hard are the most handsome. This saying is indeed true.

At this moment, Xi Zhengyu was completely focused on the blue screen in front of him, his handsome hands pointing and gesturing on it.

He's incredibly handsome.

After working for an hour, Xi Zhengyu finally finished. He turned off his smart terminal, picked up a water glass from the side, and took a sip of water.

Seeing that Xie Shiyu was staring at him, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

"You," Xie Shiyu replied bluntly, "you're so handsome."

Xi Zhengyu chuckled softly upon hearing this.

He is aware of his own appearance, otherwise so many people wouldn't like him.

"Let's go back." Xi Zhengyu stood up, twisting his stiff neck as he said, "You should go soak in the water."

"good."

Xie Shiyu also stood up and went to his side, and the two left the restaurant side by side.

Back home, Xie Shiyu didn't rest either. She conjured a fish tail and soaked in a large pool, while she lay on the side holding a pen and a piece of white paper.

She was drawing design sketches, shop design sketches.

She chose a warm color scheme for the shop's decor, but selling only seashells would be a bit monotonous, and Xie Shiyu couldn't think of anything else to sell.

I was lying there feeling really conflicted.

Sell ​​some flowers, perhaps?

Thinking of Xie Shiyu, she opened her smart terminal to check and found that the cost of selling flowers was more expensive than selling seashells.

Because the process from seed to flower requires a great deal of human and material resources.

"Hmm, what should I sell?" Xie Shiyu was becoming increasingly conflicted.
