"Of course, Aunt. When I have free time, I also study some related knowledge online."
Li Zhiyan, who aspired to become a walking encyclopedia, had a vast range of interests, studying almost everything he could.
"Wow, no wonder you’re so young yet so fluent in German. That’s really inspiring."
The more Shen Hongmei looked at Li Zhiyan, the more she felt her dear nephew was exceptional. After visiting a few tourist attractions with Aunt Shen,
Li Zhiyan noticed a Lottery Store nearby and went to buy that stack of scratch tickets mentioned in the system’s intel.
After winning ten thousand yuan, Aunt Shen’s excitement became very apparent!
"Aunt, let me treat you to dinner tonight!"
"Sure! My dear, your luck is incredible!"
It was already past five in the afternoon. Li Zhiyan took Aunt Shen to a private kitchen-style restaurant.
With nine hundred thousand yuan in savings, Li Zhiyan now carried himself with a bit more swagger.
"My dear, aunt is going to order tonight! I simply must treat myself to a feast at your expense today!"
"Winning ten thousand yuan on a scratch ticket—this kind of luck only happens to those drunken gamblers!"
Li Zhiyan thought about Aunt’s koi-like luck. Whenever she bought lottery tickets, she just picked them blindly, yet she always made money!
Though Aunt Shen teased about going all-out, the dishes she ordered were rather modest, and the meal didn’t cost much.
"Aunt, does your foot still hurt? Let me give you a massage."
Li Zhiyan asked with concern.
"It’s a little sore..."
Shen Hongmei felt slightly embarrassed.
"Then, Aunt, why don’t you sit on the table."
The table in their private room was a sturdy, solid long table.
"Nonsense, how could I possibly sit on the table?"
"Aunt, it’s fine. No one will see. If you sit on the table, I can easily massage your feet."
Li Zhiyan said expectantly.
"You’re being ridiculous, the waiter could come in at any moment."
"Aunt, even the quickest dish will take at least ten minutes. No one’s coming in."
As he spoke, Li Zhiyan walked to the door and locked it.
The sound of the lock clicking seemed to carry a certain magic, causing a wave of heat to rise in Shen Hongmei’s chest.
"Aunt, no one will come now."
Li Zhiyan walked over, lifted Aunt Shen, and gently placed her on the dining table. He admired her high heels and nylon-clad legs, and his blood began to boil.
"Aunt, you’re so beautiful."
Looking at Aunt Shen’s flushed, embarrassed yet stunning face, Li Zhiyan leaned forward, pressing her down onto the table, and kissed her deeply.
"You little rascal, is this how you massage Aunt’s feet?"
"You’re just caressing my legs."
"Aunt, it’s all pretty much the same."
Their voices were muffled and indistinct. This kiss lasted about a minute. When they finally broke apart, Shen Hongmei looked at Li Zhiyan with astonishment.
"My dear, what’s on your mind?"
"Aunt, the waiter won’t be serving for another ten minutes. Hand me your bag."
Shen Hongmei, her heart pounding furiously, recalled a past moment of urgency. Flushing deeply, she opened her bag and began rummaging through it.
"Found it. My dear, we really don’t have much time."
A little over ten minutes later, the waiter brought in their dishes.
"Ma’am, is the air conditioning broken in our restaurant? Your face is so red, as though you’re overheated."
"I’m fine; it’s just that my body is a bit weak."
After sending the waiter away, Shen Hongmei looked at Li Zhiyan, her cheeks burning. This trip turned out to be far wilder than she had ever imagined.
"My dear, Aunt wants to ask you something."
"Now, the seventh day is almost over."
"Who... do you want to choose?"
Summoning all her courage, Shen Hongmei finally asked the question.
