Shang Wu's brows relaxed slightly.
No wonder there was no sound along the way; it turns out they arrived here ahead of time.
She said that Chenmian learned yesterday that Zhou Yanci was going to celebrate her birthday with her, so how could she not cause trouble and try to get attention?
Chenmian's meddling here is even better than her one-on-one contact with Zhou Yanci.
Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back and would vomit it out right in front of Zhou Yanci.
Shang Wu unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and went over to greet them as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Chen? What are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Chenmian smiled warmly, tucked her hair behind her ear, and strode over.
"I've recently finished my work and wanted to come here to relax and enjoy the scenery. I didn't expect to run into you guys here. What brings you and A-Ci here...?"
Zhou Yanci followed quietly and gently took Shang Wu's hand: "Today is A-Wu's birthday, I came here to keep her company."
"I see, Miss Shang. Happy birthday." Chen Mian offered a perfunctory blessing, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, her expression turning somewhat sour.
Shang Wu smiled softly.
"Thank you. Since it's such a coincidence, let's stay at the guesthouse together today. Yanci, could you help Miss Chen with her luggage? I'll take mine myself."
She turned and went to the car.
Zhou Yanci's expression changed slightly, and she immediately wanted to follow.
"A-ci?"
Behind her, a soft, coquettish voice came from her sleep.
"They have too much luggage, can you help them?"
Zhou Yanci's gaze followed Shang Wu for a few seconds before turning back and questioning in a low voice, "Why did you come here today? You know I'm here to celebrate Shang Wu's birthday."
"Just because you gave her a place, does that mean I can't stay here? Or am I being a third wheel, disturbing your time together, and that's making you unhappy?"
She was on the verge of tears, biting her lip and helplessly twisting her fingers.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Zhou Yanci suddenly noticed that she was wearing a pink knitted dress, and her gentle and lovely appearance was exactly the same as when she was in college.
He recalled his sweet romance with Shen Mian during college, and his heart immediately softened.
Zhou Yan spoke gently, soothingly saying, "I'm just worried that our relationship might be exposed. Be careful not to get caught later. Go upstairs to your room."
Chenmian pouted, somewhat reluctant to give them some space, but fearing that Zhou Yanci would be unhappy, she had no choice but to compromise.
By the time Shang Wu arrived with her luggage, the person had already gone inside.
She asked in confusion, "Why did Miss Shen leave first?"
"She went back to rest, don't worry about her."
Zhou Yanci helped her carry her luggage over.
Whether it was out of guilt or not, Shang Wu could sense that Zhou Yanci seemed to be more attentive and enthusiastic.
She didn't pay attention and followed Zhou Yanci inside.
The guesthouse owner came over and explained that the guesthouse was originally designed for three people, but since they only booked two rooms, the other room was given to other people.
Shang Wu said she didn't care at all. After going upstairs, she tidied up and took a shower.
When she came out, the room was empty.
Shang Wu dried her hair and walked slowly to the door, where she heard faint voices coming from the corridor outside.
"I don't care, you just have to find a way to come and keep me company tonight."
She's sleeping and being affectionate.
Zhou Yanci took a deep breath, sounding somewhat impatient: "Baby, can you find another place to make a scene? Today is Shang Wu's birthday, and I've been with her for the past three years. There's no reason for her to leave today."
"Am I not a reason? If you want to see me, you can come no matter what. Refusing me is just making excuses!" Chenmian's tone sounded somewhat sad.
Zhou Yanci remained silent for a moment, then finally softened: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Is it that difficult?
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow.
It would be incredibly cruel of her not to help this loving couple.
A minute later, Zhou Yanci pushed open the door and came in.
Shang Wu sat at the table drying her hair, her back to him. When she heard the voice, she asked, "Yan Ci, are you back?"
"Hmm. I went out to check out the surroundings while you were taking a shower. This guesthouse is nice; the courtyard is very pretty."
Zhou Yanci leaned closer and got up to smell her hair.
Shang Wu froze for a moment.
She turned around, revealing a perfectly timed expression of embarrassment: "Words, I..."
"What's wrong? Tell me." Zhou Yanci smiled and took the towel from her hand, helping her dry her hair.
Shang Wu looked regretful: "I'm on my period, and I didn't bring any painkillers this time, so I might have to go straight to sleep later."
"Sleep? What about the birthday party tonight? Ji Yu and the others are all coming over." Zhou Yanci frowned.
Shang Wu forced a smile: "You know, I'm always uncomfortable during my period. This is just a coincidence. Tell them to stay home. There's no need to celebrate for me."
Zhou Yanci inevitably felt disappointed.
He forced a smile: "Then you should get some rest. I'll sleep in the living room tonight and won't bother you."
Shang Wu smiled, her eyes crinkling, completely unguarded: "Okay."
She watched Zhou Yanci leave.
Zhou Yanci hadn't taken two steps when she paused again, took down the suit jacket hanging behind the door, and pulled a few things out of the pocket.
Shang Wu watched until the person left, then she went over and patted her pocket again.
She touched a small, square, and somewhat cold piece of wrapping paper.
Shang Wu pinched it between two fingers and took it out.
The packaging clearly states: Safe Condoms.
She scoffed, shoved it back in, and then closed and locked the door.
The two outside are destined for a tumultuous night.
Shang Wu walked to the window, sat down, and looked at the sky outside.
It got dark, and Zhou Yanci came upstairs to call her to eat and cut the cake.
