Handsome B suddenly burst into laughter. "No way, Little Village Flower, you believed everything I said? You truly disappoint me. The truth is, you’re not my type at all; I only see you as a friend, so don’t mistakenly think I like you, okay? What? Can’t we stay friends just because I made a joke?"
"Phew... you jerk!" Ye Shu finally relaxed. "Seriously, don’t just say stuff like that to girls; what if they take you seriously?"
Handsome B shook his head with a wry smile. "Don’t worry, why would I say those words to other girls?"
The car drove into a high-end hotel in the center of Princeton City. They were supposed to get two separate rooms, but due to the influx of tourists, only one large suite was left, so they had to settle for it.
Worried that Ye Shu might overthink, Handsome B clarified in advance that she would sleep in the big bed and he would lie on the couch, just keeping her company and not doing anything inappropriate.
He said he was there to keep her company, but shortly after entering the room, Handsome B fell asleep on the couch.
Looking at the handsome man sleeping on the couch, Ye Shu felt truly grateful. She gently covered him with a blanket, then went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
Perhaps because she had slept too much on the plane, after showering, she wasn’t sleepy at all. Wrapped in a thick bathrobe, she walked around the room. Fearing she might wake the sleeping Handsome B, she quietly grabbed her phone and slipped out of the room.
Arriving in the hotel’s square, it was already past five in the morning, and people had started doing morning exercises.
Upon checking her phone, Ye Shu saw a slew of messages from Ou Linlin.
[Ye Shuye, have you arrived yet? Why isn’t your phone on?]
[Listen, you and Sheng Shaochen probably have some misunderstandings. Don’t foolishly think about giving up or anything, okay? Right now, Sheng Shaochen is going crazy looking for you everywhere; I told him you went abroad.]
[Oh, and he broke my door before storming off. It’s on you now; you owe me for that.]
[Haha, why isn’t your phone on yet? I just heard from Sun Nanjue that Ah Chen gave a good scolding to that old lady from the Han Family, scared her until her legs went weak.]
Reading the messages from Ou Linlin, Ye Shu’s mood inexplicably improved a lot. She really was smitten by Sheng Shaochen; knowing he was frantically searching for her, she almost wanted to forgive him spontaneously.
But thinking back to the scene she saw outside the hospital window, she began to feel conflicted again. No matter what he was thinking, as long as Ruxin continued to exist, life wouldn’t be easy for her, Ye Shu.
She opened her contacts, selected Sheng Shaochen’s number, and almost dialed it, but held back in the end. Since she had left, it was better to let him search a little more.
Otherwise, if he found himself with free time, he might go see that so-called lifesaver again.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud noise upfront startled Ye Shu!
Looking up, she saw a gravel truck, for some unknown reason, had crashed into a cultural statue in the square. Amidst a pile of scattered stone debris, an old man clutched at his chest in agony.
Before Ye Shu could regain her composure, the truck that caused the accident turned around and fled!
"Hey, don’t run away!" After snapping a photo of the license plate with her phone, Ye Shu quickly ran over to the old man and crouched down. "Don’t be afraid, I’m calling 999 right now!"
