"But I can pay for this young master's drinks!"
Hearing Shen Yunhao's words, the innkeeper raised an eyebrow and said, "Sir, you should think this through. He's drinking the finest thyme wine. Just one jar of wine is more expensive than your entire meal. That'll add up to quite a bit of money!"
It's not that the shopkeeper was being kind-hearted.
The main reason was that Shen Yunhao's clothes were very simple and plain, and he didn't look like one of those rich young masters.
Shen Yunhao wasn't annoyed. Instead, he took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket and said, "Please find this young master a good room and send him in to rest!"
"Hey! Hey hey hey hey!" The shopkeeper's old face lit up with a smile when he saw the silver. "No problem, no problem! Come on, give this fellow... no! Please take this young master to the back!"
The servants helped the man in white robes up and carried him to the back, but just as they passed Shen Yunhao, the man suddenly "shuddered," shook off the servants, and pressed himself against Shen Yunhao's shoulder.
Shen Yunhao was startled, and almost activated the Netherworld Shield in his hand.
But the man looked at Shen Yunhao and said drunkenly, "It was you! You stole my treasure!"
"???"
Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded.
"Come on, you bastard! Drink with me!"
He had only taken a couple of steps with Shen Yunhao when he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
With the sound of soft snoring coming from behind, the man must have been completely drunk.
"Uh..." The shopkeeper quickly said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help the young master up to rest!"
The servants carried the drunken man upstairs, and he was still mumbling things like "drink...keep drinking..."
Shen Yunhao returned to the seat where the child was sitting, and Milk Tea asked curiously, "Brother Master, why did you pay for him?"
"I don't know... There's a strange sense of closeness, a familiar feeling, but I can't remember where we've met before." As Shen Yunhao spoke, he suddenly glared at him, "Who's your pig brother? You're not Little Dragon Girl! Let's eat, let's finish eating and leave quickly!"
"Brother, aren't you going to see him?"
"What the hell are you looking at? I don't even recognize anyone..."
Compared to the cost of alcohol, time is definitely more precious.
It's already incredibly kind of Shen Yunhao to pay for a stranger's drinks; it wouldn't be worth staying any longer and wasting time on this person.
After leaving Wanbo City, Shen Yunhao traveled at various stops along the way, finally returning to the Tianyu Dynasty three days later.
As the year draws to a close, the market is much livelier than usual, filled with a lively atmosphere and festive spirit.
This is something that cannot be seen from the isolated peaks of the Tianshan Mountains.
After hiring a carriage in the city, Shen Yunhao returned to the Shen residence with the cat in his arms.
"Milk Tea... I won't be able to stay with you anymore. You know what to tell her, right?"
The cat nodded its head. "I will persuade Sister Bai to come and see the master!"
"If it really doesn't work out, then forget it!"
After letting the cat go, Shen Yunhao stepped into the mansion and was immediately spotted by the gatekeeper.
The man rubbed his eyes and exclaimed with delight, "Third Young Master! The Third Young Master is back!"
"Hey! You didn't slack off and sleep in this time!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao smiled and soon saw Shen Muchi walking towards him with his family, including Shen Yufeng, who was away from home most of the year.
Things are truly different now; when Shen Yunhao comes home, someone comes out to greet him!
However... Shen Yunhao did not show much joy on his face. He stepped forward and gave a slight junior's bow.
"Uncle, there's no need to make such a fuss. I only come back to stay for a couple of days occasionally... Is anyone still cleaning my old yard?"
Sensing the distance in Shen Yunhao's tone, everyone's expressions stiffened. Aunt Liu Yuling stepped forward and said with a smile, "Of course, your uncle sends someone to clean every day!"
Facing his aunt, Shen Yunhao lowered his eyes slightly, sighed inwardly, but nodded lightly on the surface, "Then I'll go back first, and visit her later!"
After saying that, she ignored Shen Muchi's darkened expression and walked towards her own courtyard.
"That brat! This is absolutely outrageous..."
"Alright! Master, stop talking! Maybe... Yunhao is in a bad mood. I'll go check on him later..."
In the distance, Shen Yunhao looked up at the sky.
It's better to be sad now than to die later...
...
Shen Yunhao has been back for a few days, and he basically stays at home. He doesn't see most people who come to visit him. Even when Liu Yuling comes, they can only chat for a few words before he leaves with a sigh.
Shen Yunhao did this not only to protect the Shen family.
More than anything, I wanted to challenge myself.
When facing unexpected situations in the future, I won't be so easily swayed by emotions in my thinking.
Mo Yan watched from the side and shook her head.
She had seen through Shen Yunhao's true nature all along.
Doing this serves no purpose other than self-deception...
She didn't say anything, just stayed by his side and occasionally kept him company.
Until three days later.
After teasing Qing Teng that evening, Shen Yunhao was about to wash up and go to bed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who could it be so late?"
He opened the door and saw the adorable little girl jump up and hug him!
"Master! Master!"
"milk tea!"
Shen Yunhao's face lit up with surprise, but then he looked around and asked, "You're back! Then... then didn't your Sister Bai come along?"
To everyone's surprise, the kitten immediately pouted, revealing a resentful little expression.
"My master is only thinking about that vixen and hasn't even thought about milk tea... It's a good thing I brought him grilled fish from Nancheng Wangji."
"..."
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback, and sure enough, he saw that the little girl was still carrying an oil paper package in her hand.
"Oh my! Milk tea is so good! Hug me again!"
"whee……"
The cat gave him a quick hug with a grin, but immediately let go and ran inside.
"Master! Come quickly, let's eat it while it's still warm!"
Shen Yunhao watched Milk Tea's back, especially staring at her round, plump buttocks for a moment, then chuckled and went inside.
Wow...it smells so good!
The little girl sat down at the table, opened the package, and a rich aroma of roasted food wafted out.
The golden and crispy grilled fish lay quietly on the plate, garnished with a few bright green scallions and bright red chilies, the colors of which were extremely tempting.
"Master, come and have a taste!"
Despite saying this, the cat couldn't resist its craving and secretly tore off a piece and put it in its mouth.
This little glutton isn't called that for nothing.
Shen Yunhao gave a meaningful look and sat down next to the milk tea.
"Milk Tea is so good... By the way, what did your Sister Bai say? Did she agree or not?"
"Sister Bai agreed!"
