Shen Yishu peeked out from the hoodie that smelled strongly of Wen Nian and saw that the car door had just closed and Wen Nian had walked a little further away, with his back to her.
For a moment, she felt her heart pounding uncontrollably and her cheeks flushed slightly.
It wasn't until Wen Nian moved that she remembered the important matter.
Shen Yishu took off her wet clothes and put on Wen Nian's sweatshirt.
The clothes were a bit too big for her, and they smelled entirely of men, as if Wen Nian were enveloping her.
I changed my clothes and came out.
Wen Nian turned around when he heard the sound. Shen Yishu's hair was blown about by the wind, and her hoodie covered her thighs. Her beautiful face looked especially charming at that moment.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he felt the autumn wind was a bit dry, and that blowing it for too long made his mouth and throat parched.
"Let's go." Shen Yishu called out and walked quickly toward the stall, feeling a little embarrassed to look at Wen Nian.
Wen Nian followed closely behind.
Shen Yishu arrived just in time; the proprietress hadn't finished packing everything up yet.
"Hello, are you still selling them now?"
"We can still make it. What would you like?" the proprietress asked kindly.
Shen Yishu said, "Two servings of wontons, please."
Okay.
Just as Shen Yishu was about to scan the code to pay, she saw a phone that was even faster than hers.
She quickly pressed the shutter button on Wen Nian's camera, saying, "You promised I'd treat you to something."
Shen Yishu quickly scanned the code to pay and sweetly said to the shop owner, "Payment is done."
"Okay, are you... friends?"
"Oh, we're neighbors."
The proprietress smiled meaningfully, "Then you two have a really good relationship."
Shen Yishu didn't know why her face was getting hotter and hotter. She mumbled, "Neighbors help each other out, we're just nodding acquaintances, hahaha."
After buying their things, the two went upstairs together.
The elevator was brightly lit.
Wen Nian looked at Shen Yishu several times, making Shen Yishu nervous.
She touched her face. "Is there something on my face?"
No, but have you caught a cold? Your face is very red.
Shen Yishu's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed.
"It's even redder, including the roots of its ears."
Shen Yishu said, "Shut up."
Wen Nian: "..."
Back on her floor, Shen Yishu suddenly didn't want to go inside.
After finishing her story, she often felt lonely when she was bored, probably because her period was coming soon and she was a little sensitive.
Wen Nian watched her slowly open the door, a thought flickered in his mind, and he blurted out, almost without thinking, "Shen Yishu, do you know how to play games?"
"W-What game?"
...
Then, after changing her clothes, Shen Yishu went into Wen Nian's house.
There were new slippers on Wen Nian's shoe rack, but they were all men's and were too big for Shen Yishu.
While changing her shoes, Shen Yishu saw that the nightlight she had given her was plugged into the wall socket.
Shen Yishu stared at it, stunned.
Wen Nian was also stunned; how could he have forgotten about this?
Shen Yishu suppressed a laugh, "It's still quite pretty, isn't it?"
Wen Nian kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
Shen Yishu dared not tease him anymore, lest he break down later.
She changed her shoes and went inside, only to find that both servings of wontons had already been opened and placed on the table.
The two finished their meal in silence.
Shen Yishu asked, "What games are you playing?"
"Let's see what you can do."
Wen Nian took out a box containing many game discs, including single-player, two-player, and multiplayer games.
The single-player one looks like it's been opened a lot, so Wen Nian must have played it quite a bit here.
He must have gotten tired of playing with her, so he invited her over.
In fact, Shen Yishu didn't know much about these things, but she still gritted her teeth and chose one that she was somewhat familiar with.
It's a very simple level-based game, but the bosses get harder and harder as you progress.
As a result, she stayed behind Wen Nian the whole time, did nothing, and occasionally even dragged him down.
Fortunately, Wen Nian didn't look down on her; on the contrary, he fought her with great enthusiasm and occasionally teased her. Otherwise, she would have really dug a hole and buried herself.

A few days later.
The nights in Lucheng are getting colder, and the wind carries the biting chill of winter.
Outside the gates of Lucheng Prison, a sleek Rolls-Royce was parked.
Lu Zhengye sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting.
Wei Qing, sitting in the passenger seat, kept his eyes glued to the door. He asked in confusion, "Wasn't Lu Jitong supposed to be released from prison this afternoon? Why haven't we seen him yet? Could our information be wrong?"
Lu Zhengye tapped rhythmically on the car window with his fingers, as if he was thinking.
Then he opened his eyes and said, "The timing is right. There are people ahead of us who are even more anxious than us."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qing looked ahead and saw a person getting out of a luxury car parked in front of him. It turned out to be Lu Mochuan.
"The Lu family has sent people too? Boss, will Lu Jitong come with us?"
"have no idea."
After Lu Zhengye finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.
Wei Qing knew he hadn't been sleeping much lately, so she didn't disturb him and continued to keep watch.
Lu Mochuan arrived even earlier than Lu Zhengye, but he still couldn't find anyone. If he didn't know that his grandfather was cautious, he probably would have thought that his grandfather had misremembered the time.
Inside the prison, a guard came out and saw that the person hadn't left yet, so he went up to him and said, "Hey, you're really strange. Everyone else is eager to leave this place, so why are you sticking around here?"
"A homeless person has nowhere to go." The man who spoke had a buzz cut, but you could still see that his hair was completely white at the roots, making him look like an old man who had been through a lot.
The prison guard felt a pang of pity and took out a few bills from his pocket. "You're capable enough to go out and get yourself sorted out. Find a stable job. You've already wasted decades here. You can't just waste the rest of your time, can you?"
Lu Jitong's eyes were lifeless, and he remained silent.
The prison guard stuffed the money into his hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you out."
Lu Jitong was helped to his feet and limped out.
His leg was only slightly injured more than ten years ago, but because it was not treated in time, it developed into a chronic condition.
When the weather is cold or it rains, the pain is so bad that it's hard to walk.
The prison guard escorted him out and loudly warned him, "Don't look back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two luxury cars parked at the door.
This is truly shocking, considering it's not a pleasant place; even if you were to park anywhere, you wouldn't do it here.
He swallowed hard, taking a second look at the hunched-over man who had just been released from prison.
Lu Mochuan had never met his uncle, only seen his photos, so at first he wasn't even sure.
It wasn't until the person got closer that his eyes involuntarily reddened, after all, they were related by blood.
Lu Jitong was wearing a tattered cotton coat, which he had worn for who knows how many years.
Lu Mochuan opened the car door, grabbed the cotton-padded coat he had prepared, and rushed over. He said, "Uncle, you've suffered."
Lu Jitong's eyes remained completely unmoved.
Lu Mochuan brushed off the cotton coat he was wearing and then put on the one he had brought.
