The skewers arrived shortly afterward, and Chen Yu couldn't wait to take the first bite. The taste was surprisingly good, fragrant and spicy, paired with a sip of coconut juice. It was simply blissful. The three of them, having enjoyed a satisfying meal, comfortably leaned back in their chairs.
After resting for a while, Chen Le went to pay the bill. Back at the hotel, Chen Le gave Chen Yu a few instructions, telling her to make sure the door was locked before going to bed that night, and to knock on the door next door if she encountered any problems. Chen Yu nodded obediently, opened the door, went in, and locked it. She even put a chair in front of the door to block it.
It was almost 11:30 when Chen Yu came out of the shower. She took out her phone and swiped around for a bit, and saw dozens of messages, some from group chats and some from private messages. However, they were all unimportant messages, so Chen Yu replied to Wang Yue but not to the others.
I slept soundly until dawn.
Chen Le woke the two little ones up early for breakfast, and the breakfast shop downstairs was packed with people by 8:30.
"Here you go, two baskets of soup dumplings, two bowls of lean pork congee, and a bowl of preserved egg congee!"
The waiter put down the food for the three of them and went to the next table, still shouting for the food loudly, which Chen Yu found rather jarring.
"We'll head back after we finish eating; I have work to do this afternoon," Chen Le said as she ate her soup dumplings. The first bite of the dumpling caused the juice to fly out and land right on Chen Yu's white shirt. She looked at Chen Le with a helpless expression and clicked her tongue, but eventually picked up a tissue and wiped it off silently.
After a quick breakfast, Chen Le took the two of them back to the farm.
The car was driving very fast, and Chen Yu almost threw up while sitting in the car. Shen Yan glanced at the uncomfortable Chen Yu, then lowered his head and continued reading the book in his hand.
What should have been an hour and a half journey took Chen Le only an hour to complete.
"You two have lunch on your own, and don't wander off!"
Chen Le left after saying a few words, and the two of them returned to their respective rooms without exchanging a single word. Chen Yu lay on the bed scrolling through her phone. She opened her favorite app and stumbled upon a post about how to improve a relationship with someone you like.
Title: Men really love this kind of thing.
1. Mystery + Sweet Talk
II. High-level manipulation of men
III. Learn from the cat abandonment effect
IV. The "Pushing for Position" Battle with Ambiguity at its Max
Chen Yu clicked in, glanced at it a few times, and then exited. It was all stuff she couldn't understand at all. She scrolled down a few more times and saw another post about psychology: the more indifferent you are, the more he loves you. You must maintain an air of mystery, understand and respect the other person's emotions, and show your independence.
She frowned as she finished reading a post, only to find it utterly useless. At this point, Shen Yan was still a boy who hadn't even grown up yet. If she used these tricks, she would definitely look like a clown in front of him.
The most important thing now is to let Shen Yan know that she will not bully him like before. She thought about it all morning but couldn't come up with a good idea. She felt that nothing she did would work. Most importantly, she had tried many ways to torment Shen Yan.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. She could ask Shen Yan to wake her up every morning, making him think that she had changed and even become more studious. Shen Yan would definitely be surprised. Chen Yu laughed out loud as she thought about it, impressed by her own cleverness.
"Chen Yu, come downstairs for dinner."
The deep, stern voice outside the door startled Chen Yu, who was still secretly laughing. She stammered a reply, put on her coat, and opened the door. Chen Yan was no longer outside, which didn't surprise her, since his idea was to stay as far away from her as possible.
As soon as Chen Yu sat down, Shen Yan brought over a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of her. The aroma immediately filled Chen Yu's nostrils; it was the same smell as before.
She looked at the bowl in front of Shen Yan. It was obvious that Chen Yu's bowl had more ingredients than Shen Yan's. Chen Yu ate her noodles somewhat embarrassedly. She hesitated whether to speak, but her mouth was faster than her brain.
"Shen Yan, could you wake me up tomorrow?"
Shen Yan, whose name was called, was a little stunned. He frowned for a moment, but quickly regained his indifferent expression. "Okay."
Chen Yu was a little stunned by just that one simple sentence, "Okay," and that was it...?
Although Shen Yan didn't know what Chen Yu was planning to do, he had no choice but to comply. After all, if he didn't do so, Chen Yu might find something else to cause trouble for him.
The two never spoke again after that.
After eating, Chen Yu went upstairs. She lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling. What was the purpose of her return this time? Was it simply to change Shen Yan's opinion of her, or was it to... date him?
Her face flushed slightly at the thought of those three words. It was the first time she had ever thought of it this way. She turned over, picked up her phone, and planned to text Wang Yue. Wang Yue was usually a bit silly, but she was actually a master of online dating.
[Fish: Baby, what are you doing?]
[Moon: Thinking of you.]
Chen Yu was already used to Wang Yue's outrageous antics.
[Fish: I have something I'd like to ask you.]
[Moon: Tell me, have you got your eye on some guy? I knew it! There must be a reason why you've been acting strange these past few days!]
[fish: Hmm... there is indeed one.]
[Moon: Who is it? Is it that handsome guy from the next class?]
[Fish: I can't reveal it yet. You teach me how to pursue him first, and I'll tell you after I succeed.]
[Moon: No problem, remember to treat me to a meal.]
[Moon: Tell me, what kind of personality do you have? What are your hobbies? Do you have any favorite games?]
