Before Su Jiu could say anything, Jiang Duo hurriedly left.
"Then let's eat together." Su Jiu turned around, smiled at Shen Mochen, and said.
"Okay, which hot pot restaurant do you want to eat at?" The man gazed tenderly at the girl in front of him.
"Hmm... let's choose that one." Su Jiu pointed to a hot pot restaurant in front of her and said, "This place gives you dessert with your hot pot meal."
"Okay." Shen Mochen led Su Jiu toward the hot pot restaurant.
After the two were seated, Shen Mochen picked up his phone, scanned the QR code on the table, and handed the phone to Su Jiu, saying, "You can order now."
"Oh." Su Jiu swiped her phone screen. "Let me see... I want to eat this extra spicy hot pot base. There are four-compartment and eight-compartment options. What about you? Which flavors do you want? I'll choose."
"Let's choose a hot pot with two broths, you choose the spicy one, and I'll choose the bone broth one," Shen Mochen said.
"Oh, okay." Su Jiu tapped the screen with her slender finger. "Is there any meat you'd like to eat?"
"Whatever you want to eat, that's what I want to eat," the man said with a smile, looking at the girl across from him.
"I ordered spicy tripe, spicy rabbit head, Sichuan peppercorn chicken, beef, lamb, handmade shrimp paste, and some duck blood, potato slices, enoki mushrooms..." Su Jiu handed her phone to Shen Mochen, "See if there's anything you need to add?"
Shen Mochen ordered a few more dishes and then placed the order.
The two sat facing each other on the dining chairs. Su Jiuying rested her chin on her white palm and saw the message that she had added a friend on WeChat.
It's Liang Feng.
[Huh? Why did Liang Feng add me on WeChat?]
Could it be that they gave me the money and then regretted it? I'd better refuse to avoid getting into trouble.
Su Jiu declined.
"Xiao Jiu, I haven't repaid you for saving my life yet." Shen Mochen's deep eyes looked at the girl opposite him. "I told you before that when we meet again, I will thank you properly."
Su Jiu's eyes sparkled as she took a sip of water. "Really? How do you plan to thank me, Brother Shen?"
"I'm grateful for your life-saving grace. How about I repay you with my body?" The man raised his eyes, his dark, inky eyes quietly gazing at the girl opposite him.
"Pfft—" Su Jiu sprayed a mouthful of water onto Shen Mochen's face. "Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to, waaaaah..."
As she spoke, the girl quickly got up and ran to Shen Mochen's side, picking up a tissue to wipe the water stains off his handsome face.
This is so presumptuous!
[I was so surprised that I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water, and who would have thought it would hit Brother Shen right in the face! It was so embarrassing! I felt like I was digging my toes out of the Disney castle!]
[Does Brother Shen think I'm disrespectful to him? Will he dislike me? Sigh, I'm so sorry~]
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," the girl said cautiously, her dark, doe-like eyes glancing furtively at Shen Mochen's expression.
She had expected to see Shen Mochen's cold and aloof expression, but to her surprise, the man showed no coldness or disdain. His deep, calm, and unwavering black eyes simply looked at her gently.
"It's alright." The man's thin lips parted slightly, his voice extremely gentlemanly, deep, sensual, and pleasant to the ear.
Brother Shen has such a good temper!
After Su Jiu wiped the water droplets off the man's face, she paused for a moment.
[Brother Shen's face is truly a masterpiece of Nuwa's artistry! It's so realistically 3D modeled! It even felt great to touch!]
Although she's getting on in years, she's maintained her appearance very well.
Shen Mocheng: ...
Is he a very old person?
26 years old isn't old, but compared to Sujiu liquor, it's still 7 years older...
Seeing that the man's dark suit was also stained with water, Su Jiu took a clean wet wipe and wiped his chest with it, feeling embarrassed. "Brother Shen, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect I could spray so far in one breath."
Shen Mochen: "It's alright, it's nothing."
At this moment, the girl bent down to wipe his chest. She was wearing a light pink fitted dress. As she bent down, Shen Mochen could see the girl's soft and slender waist, the graceful curve of her waistline, and the perfect hip line below her waist.
The man forced himself to close his eyes, and his sexy Adam's apple bobbed.
"Okay, it's all cleaned." Su Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up. She shifted her feet, but the floor had been wiped by the cleaner and was a bit slippery. She almost slipped and fell.
"Watch out!" A strong arm encircled the girl's waist, and the man's warm palm pressed against her waist.
Unexpectedly, Su Jiu fell into the man's arms.
Su Jiu sat on the man's long, strong legs. She felt something poking her, which was extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Su Jiu clearly noticed the man gasping for breath and making a muffled groan.
Su Jiu immediately realized what it was!
【My God! This is way too big!】
This is absolutely magnificent and astonishing!
Shen Mochen: ...Actually, it's fine. As long as she's happy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, sob sob sob..." the girl whispered. She quickly broke free from the man's embrace and awkwardly sat back down in her seat.
"It's alright." The man's voice was hoarse and deep, as if he were holding a ball of fire.
"No offense intended, no offense intended," Su Jiu said softly, clasping her hands together.
Shen Mochen: "Um... so, what do you think of my suggestion?"
"This..." Su Jiu blushed and thought for a moment, "If you're only doing this to repay me, there's no need to go to the point of offering yourself in return. I don't accept a marriage without love..."
"Who said I have no feelings for you?" Shen Mochen smiled helplessly.
“Your feelings for me are all out of gratitude, right?” Su Jiu said. “If I were to be with you, wouldn’t that be like morally blackmailing you? It’s better not to.”
Sigh, it seems Brother Shen will fall for whoever saves him.
[In the original story, Wen Wan saved him, and he fell in love with her. Sigh. If it hadn't been me who saved him, but someone like Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Ermazi, he would have ended up with them. That's not a good habit.]
Shen Mochen: ...?
What Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Ermazi?
He likes Su wine!
Do you really think he'll fall in love with whoever saves him?
You silly goose.
Shen Mochen sighed, "If someone else had saved me, I would have been very grateful, but I would never have offered myself to them in return."
Su Jiu looked up, her dark, clear almond-shaped eyes staring blankly at him.
"My feelings for you go beyond mere gratitude; to be precise, I fell in love with you at first sight," the man said, gazing intently at her.
