Ji Mingjing's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

I didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next day, Yan Yirou, Gu Chenye, Qin Yichen, and Rongrong had breakfast.

Yan Yirou and Rongrong left the hotel hand in hand and went shopping.

Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Chenye: "Third brother, aren't you worried?"

"Gu Jiu is protecting them in secret."

Gu Chenye doesn't particularly enjoy shopping, though he would definitely go if his wife asked him to. But since his wife won't let him go, there's no point in going.

"With Gu Jiu here, there's definitely no problem."

Qin Yichen nodded and asked curiously, "Where is Third Brother planning to go?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Gu Chenye got up and left the restaurant.

Qin Yichen let out an "uh" and followed up, saying, "Third Brother, are you always this boring?"

Gu Chenye's sharp eyes swept over them.

Qin Yichen immediately backed down: "I was wrong."

After walking a few steps, Qin Yichen touched his nose and invited, "Third Brother, why don't you come with me somewhere?"

Gu Chenye's lips twitched when he saw his expression: "Going to see your game wife?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qin Yichen's face: "She said she wanted to bring an older brother, so this is kind of like me meeting the parents... Third brother, can you do me a favor!"

Gu Chenye: "..."

With nowhere to go, Gu Chenye was conscripted by Qin Yichen to meet up with an online friend.

In a coffee shop in the city center.

As the appointed time approached, Qin Yichen felt inexplicably nervous and kept drinking coffee.

Gu Chenye looked at him with considerable surprise: "You like her that much?"

Qin Yichen was taken aback: "No, no."

"Isn't this liking?" Gu Chenye shook his head and chuckled, not arguing with him, lest he get carried away and make up his mind about the other person, which wouldn't be good.

It's better to spend more time getting to know people you meet online.

But Gu Chenye didn't speak, and Qin Yichen couldn't help but think: Do I like her?

???

At this moment, Rongrong and Yan Yirou were strolling along the commercial street.

The two strolled around like students, drinking milk tea and chatting.

When you get tired, go into the mall to rest for a while.

The two didn't buy anything, and before they knew it, it was noon.

Rongrong took Yan Yirou to a well-known Western restaurant nearby for dinner.

Wow, the steak tastes amazing!

Yan Yirou was at the beach a few days ago and ate seafood almost every day. She was already tired of it. Now, after taking a bite of steak, she was filled with happiness and wanted to share: "If Wu Bao were here, that would be great."

Seeing that she was eating happily, Rongrong's appetite also increased.

"I wish I could eat with you every day," she said with a smile.

Yan Yirou replied without hesitation, "No problem. When you return to the capital, we'll eat together every day."

Rongrong was taken aback at first, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the Chinese medicine pharmacy to find you."

"No, I'll go to Hua Rong Ju to find you instead." Yan Yirou shook her head and smiled shyly at her, "I want to learn how to cook a few dishes from you."

She's not a good cook, but she's much better than Wu Bao, who's a kitchen disaster, so she can still be salvaged.

Rongrong asked, "Want to cook yourself?"

Yan Yirou leaned closer and whispered, "He only has a month's leave, so I want to give him a different feeling when he comes back next time. Besides, isn't it said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Once my cooking skills improve, he'll be unable to resist me!"

You think too much!

With a smile playing on her lips, she said, "He's also completely obsessed with you now."

Yan Yirou subconsciously touched her neck.

It just so happened that Rongrong's gaze met his.

Yan Yirou, fearing for her safety, spoke first: "Ahem, Wu Bao doesn't have internet in the village and can't use her phone. Won't she be very bored?"

No. Two words flashed through Rongrong's mind, and she smiled gently: "You're overthinking it."

"That's true. She's lived there since she was a child, so she's probably used to not having internet."

Yan Yirou initially really wanted to go, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized she probably couldn't handle it: "I can go without internet for two or three days, but I can't go without internet for twenty or thirty days, that's too scary."

"It's not that bad."

Rongrong's lips twitched slightly: "As long as you have something to do every day, you won't think about playing on your phone. People who are always on their phones surfing the internet are just bored."

Yan Yirou thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"You're right." Yan Yirou blinked. "What are we going to do this afternoon?"

Where would you like to go?

Rongrong showed her the travel guide she had made last night.

Yan Yirou felt that it wouldn't be good for her to have fun by herself while her husband was left at the hotel, so she said, "Let's go back to the hotel, get some sleep, and then go out to the night market tonight."

Rongrong raised an eyebrow: "If you don't mind the cold, then yes."

Yan Yirou was stunned for a moment: "Then forget it, let's just order takeout tonight."

Rongrong let her arrange things as she pleased.

After finishing their meal, the two took a car back to the hotel. On the way, Yan Yirou called Gu Chenye with a smile.

"Honey, I'll be back soon. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you."

"No need to bring it, I'm not at the hotel."

"..."

Yan, Gu Chenye's wife Yi Rou, who felt guilty for thinking that Gu Chenye was bored alone in the hotel, remained silent for a long time.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm going to see a movie with Rongrong, bye!"

Yan Yirou hung up the phone and stared longingly at Rongrong.

Rongrong: "Are you really going to see it?"

Yan Yirou: Go away! He's already out having fun, why would I go back to the hotel?

The two immediately found a movie theater nearby.
