Buying clothes in the middle of the night?
This was Chu Yuan's first question. Her second question was about the inside of Shen Xizhou's suit jacket.
Seriously? He's been wearing wet clothes all day?
Perhaps seeing through Chu Yuan's thoughts, a faint bitter smile appeared in Shen Xizhou's deep eyes. "If I fell into the water, no one would care. If I were eating crayfish alone, no one would care. If it weren't for the hooligans who came and I hadn't gone downstairs, some heartless girls would probably have thought I had a good time all night."
In other words, he had actually been following Chu Yuan the whole time, but Chu Yuan was too busy playing with her girlfriends to notice.
It was late at night, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street.
Most of those who were going to leave have already left.
Chu Yuan got angry when she heard this. Was it her fault after all?
However, it's impossible to say that I don't feel any heartache at all.
He pounced on her angrily, yanked at Chen Xizhou's coat, and reached inside—
I thought I would touch wet fabric, but it turned out to be fine. Who would be so silly as to wear wet clothes in the middle of winter?
She glared at the man who swaggered along with her movements, and was about to withdraw her hand when he grabbed her wrist. "Now you know how to be considerate? I've realized you're heartless, your heart is really hard. I won't dare to make you angry anymore."
Chu Yuan raised her chin slightly, like a kitten that had just finished throwing a tantrum and was being gently coaxed by its owner, looking incredibly proud.
She symbolically tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't, so she let Shen Xizhou hold it.
His palms were warm, like a natural hand warmer in this chilly weather.
"Didn't you want to buy clothes? If you don't leave now, the mall will close." He couldn't help but speak in a cute but fierce tone, but the content clearly showed that he had compromised.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhou's eyes lit up. "As long as my precious Yuanbao is still willing to talk to me, whether or not we wear clothes doesn't matter."
Chu Yuan discovered that Shen Xizhou, on the surface, was abstinent and cold, but secretly he was a sly and passionate person.
Otherwise, why not call her in different ways?
Little girl, little pet cat—
Yuanyuan, Wife—
Now there's another one, "Yuanbao." I wonder if his pet cat also has a ton of names.
His dry palm held Chu Yuan's hand all the way, through a sea of lights, across flowing water, and through traffic, until they arrived at a small, not particularly bustling, shopping mall in the town.
After buying the clothes, I changed into them and asked the salesperson to throw away the old ones.
After they came out, he took Chu Yuan's hand, gently turned it, and placed a passionate kiss on the back of her hand: "Leave the next hour to me, okay?"
Chu Yuan asked, puzzled, "Where are we going?"
Don't I have to rush to a mahjong game with some leaders in a little while?
It wouldn’t be appropriate to just leave Qiao Meixin like that. Besides, all the people playing mahjong know that she came out with Shen Xizhou and didn’t come home all night. Wouldn’t that give us away?
"Of course I'll take you on a trip, to cruise ships, eat delicious food, and see the night view," Shen Xizhou said with a smile.
The neon lights that filled the streets seemed to dance joyfully in his eyes.
Its deep, clear waters, combined with its gentle, tender touch, make it impossible not to love it.
Chu Yuan stared in amazement for a few seconds, feeling that the man in front of her possessed not only handsomeness but also a charm that defied description.
She chuckled lightly, "Didn't we just go boating, eat crayfish, and listen to music? Why are you going again?"
"Because you were talking to someone else, not me."
He reached out and ran his fingers through her slightly disheveled hair. "Miss Jiang Yuan, may I have the honor?"
...
The boat trips, gourmet food, and night views at Xizhou Island are definitely different from what most people experience.
They have a multi-person boat with a boatman at the helm and a fixed route.
He, on the other hand, somehow acquired a private boat. The boat was elegantly decorated, with tea brewing, fragrance making, and gourmet food all gathered on it, making it almost like a small cruise ship.
When the mood strikes, we enjoy the night view of the river.
Amidst the bright red chili oil, he wore gloves and peeled the tails of crayfish for Chu Yuan.
Place them on a white porcelain plate and arrange them in the outline of a heart.
Yu Chuyuan's right hand was positioned at a distance that ensured she could access it at any time.
Inside the hot oven was Chu Yuan's favorite strawberry yogurt, gently simmering and bubbling happily.
After a while, Shen Xizhou picked it up, tore it open, inserted a straw, and placed it on Chu Yuan's left side. "You're still drinking alcohol because your stomach is upset? Drink some yogurt to relieve it."
Chu Yuan paused in her chewing of the shrimp tail. "You noticed my stomach was upset?"
“Of course.” Shen Xizhou took off his gloves. “When we were having dinner at the villa this evening, you didn’t eat much. I saw you leave early, so I chased after you, but I didn’t expect that it would make you angry.”
Chu Yuan remembered what happened between him and Xue Qing at the toilet door.
She thought the two of them had deliberately found a secluded place to whisper to each other, but it turned out he had come looking for her, only to be caught by Xue Qing!
"Xue Qing, she..."
Shen Xizhou wanted to say something, but Chu Yuan, feeling the spiciness, shook her head vigorously, "Don't say anything. Since it's a belated explanation, it's fine to hear it later. Tonight, now, at this very moment, I don't want to hear her name! Mr. Shen Xizhou, could you please add more crayfish?"
Shen Xizhou laughed heartily, his voice filled with utmost indulgence, "Yes, plenty..."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, when it was time to leave, Shen Xizhou captured them and kissed them.
Chu Yuan protested, "No, your mouth tastes like crayfish."
"Perfect match! You eat the crayfish, and I'll eat you—"
The boat was rocking and swaying; anyone who didn't know better would think they were doing something inappropriate for children.
In the end, I realized that an hour was really too short!
There's nothing we can do.
Shen Xizhou said with some regret, "It's all Old Qin and Old Shu's fault for insisting on playing mahjong. When we get back, I'll teach you how to wipe them out!"
