"No!" Zhou Siyu refused firmly. "I want the mecha!" She then grabbed Yu Wei's arm and began shaking it incessantly, pleading in a sweet voice, "Just agree to give me one, okay?"
"No, mechs are for combat..."
"Brother Yuwei~"
Yu Wei shuddered, his gaze towards Zhou Siyu filled with shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
Li Jing covered her face, unable to bear to look, unable to bear to look.
The tough and unyielding CEO was actually willing to sell his soul for a mecha suit.
Although she couldn't see it, Zhou Siyu could completely guess Yu Wei's expression.
The innocent young wolf-like guy is just too much fun.
"We'll talk about this later, let's go now."
Yu Wei composed himself, clenched his fist, placed it to his lips, and coughed lightly a few times.
With one arm around Zhou Siyu's waist and the other gripping Li Jing's shoulder, he piloted the aircraft into the air.
To avoid being seen as an outsider, the group landed outside Xiaojiang Town. Yu Wei's mecha quickly disappeared, and Zhou Siyu drooled once again.
"Snap out of it."
Yu Wei gently flicked Zhou Siyu's forehead, took his cold hand in his palm, put it in his pocket, and pulled him into the town.
Xiaojiang Town is not far from Changchuan City, which has just been occupied by the rebels. The rebels will soon be able to find their way here, but the people who will meet them will not arrive for several days.
He just hoped the rebels would find them later.
Perhaps because most young people have gone out to work in the Changchuan area, the few people walking on the gravel road are mostly elderly people and children. In addition, Changchuan is not peaceful, so every household closes their doors and windows very early.
After wandering around for a while, Yu Wei and his two companions finally found a small inn by the roadside in the evening.
Although vehicles transporting crushed stone and waste ore frequently pass through this area, it is so close to Changchuan that very few drivers stay here overnight.
The shop owner was a woman in her fifties. Her well-maintained face had only a few fine lines when she smiled, and her flaxen hair was permed into big waves.
Wearing a white turtleneck sweater and a brown midi skirt, Yu Wei chatted with her while taking the room key.
"We're going to rest now, Auntie, you should rest early too."
Yu Wei took the keys and pulled Zhou Siyu upstairs.
"Ugh, finally I can get a good night's sleep." Zhou Siyu pounced on the bed, rolling around in the blankets. After a while, she sat up, hugging her pillow, and stared intently at Yu Wei.
Yu Wei felt uncomfortable under his gaze. He patted his body all over, but found nothing amiss. He asked in confusion, "Why... are you looking at me like that?"
"You seemed to be having a good chat with that auntie." Zhou Siyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yu Wei with a forced smile, and after a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice: "What, do you know her?"
"I don't know him." Yu Wei shook his head, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger by the door. He walked to the bedside and leaned down, his tall figure looming over him. He stared at him for a long time, then burst out laughing. Before Zhou Siyu could get angry, he quickly pulled him into his arms. "You're not even jealous of your auntie, are you?"
"Shameless, always trying to glorify yourself." Zhou Siyu snorted coldly, then leaned into Yu Wei's arms. "I just suddenly felt quite emotional."
"What?"
“You’ve changed a lot. You used to never talk to strangers.”
Yu Wei is the kind of person who is introverted and shy in front of strangers, but talkative in front of friends. Unless necessary, he will not talk to strangers.
"Is that so?" Yu Wei smiled, rested his chin on Zhou Siyu's head, and responded with a baffling "Maybe."
Talking to locals can provide a lot of clues.
The two sat quietly for a while, then Yu Wei gently patted Zhou Siyu, who was yawning, and said, "I'm going to take a shower. You can go later."
The bathroom was very simple; it was just a small space carved out in the corner of the room using a round piece of glass.
Zhou Siyu nodded, casually picked up an e-book to pass the time, and leaned against the bed to read it.
Halfway through, he suddenly realized something was wrong. The content was unusually excessive and extremely explicit, something even someone who prided himself on being thick-skinned couldn't handle.
Zhou Siyu glanced discreetly into the bathroom and saw a blurry yet alluring figure amidst the rising steam.
"Hold on, hold on, Zhou Siyu!"
"A heart as clear as still water, undisturbed by waves, flows like a torrent... To philander is to invite disaster..."
"Damn it! What am I even memorizing?!"
Zhou Siyu angrily pounded the pillow, burying her face in it in frustration, slowly calming down. But when she turned her head, she saw a scene that made her blood boil.
Yu Wei, wearing a bathrobe and drying her hair, walked out of the bathroom.
The open neckline revealed a large expanse of honey-colored skin, and glistening water droplets slid down the beautiful, flowing lines and disappeared into the bathrobe.
Zhou Siyu's eyes widened, and she wished she could turn into a water droplet on the spot.
Yu Wei, completely unaware, dried her hair and walked to the bedside, reaching out to pull Zhou Siyu up as she said, "I've prepared the water for you, it's just right..."
Before he could finish speaking, his wrist was yanked hard, and Yu Wei, caught off guard, fell straight onto the bed.
Did it crush you?
Yu Wei hurriedly got up, but a pair of fair hands wrapped around his neck, and a pair of long legs wrapped around his waist.
"Stop fooling around, go wash up."
Yu Wei patted his leg around his waist, his voice sounding somewhat unnatural.
"I'll wash it later!"
How could Zhou Siyu give him a chance? She tilted her head back and kissed Yu Wei without a care in the world.
Yu Wei was afraid of hurting him and didn't dare to move. He put one arm around Zhou Siyu's waist and supported the back of his head with the other, afraid that the octopus on his body might accidentally fall off.
