On this day, Jiangli spent the whole time with Fu Shiyan.
After attending a friend’s gathering with him, Fu Shiyan took her to see a movie.
This was the first time Jiangli had watched a movie since she’d arrived here.
She just realized that the tiny screen on her smartphone could turn into something so large.
Jiangli was quite excited as she watched.
In the evening, Fu Shiyan also took Jiangli out for seafood.
Ever since her arrival, her favorites had been seafood and hotpot.
Seeing big crabs and lobsters always made her happy.
Even though she was the one who offered to treat, it was always Fu Shiyan who paid.
When she was full and ready to pay, Fu Shiyan had already taken care of the bill early on.
It was already past eight in the evening by the time Jiangli and Fu Shiyan finished their dinner.
Jiangli, satisfied with the meal, stepped out of the restaurant and, feeling the evening breeze, suddenly felt awkward recalling the matter of treating.
"I was the one who said I’d treat, but it seems like Mr. Fu paid for everything. How embarrassing!"
Fu Shiyan saw her slightly awkward behavior and laughed lightly, "It doesn’t matter. It’s all the same."
How could it be the same?
Jiangli thought for a moment, then said, "Let’s say that Mr. Fu treated us today, and if you have time tomorrow, I’ll return the favor. Tomorrow I’ll pay; I can afford it. Don’t be polite to me, Mr. Fu. We are good friends after all!"
Fu Shiyan raised an eyebrow, his gaze deep but he nodded, "Alright."
Jiangli smiled, feeling quite contented about the day’s events.
For some reason, being with Fu Shiyan felt comfortable, and she didn’t have so many messy thoughts.
Perhaps it was because the schedule was so packed.
She didn’t have time for any chaotic thoughts, and she felt quite relaxed after the whole day.
It felt like Fu Shiyan showed up just to take her out for a day of relaxation.
Thinking this, Jiangli couldn’t help but look up at Fu Shiyan.
As Fu Shiyan saw her looking at him, the corners of his eyes curled slightly, and he leaned down a bit as if he wanted to say something.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a light flashing behind Jiangli.
Fu Shiyan’s expression darkened slightly.
Before Jiangli could react, Fu Shiyan suddenly lifted his hand, grabbed her arm, and pulled her close into his embrace.
Jiangli’s pupils dilated, and in the next second, as the world spun around, Fu Shiyan pushed her against the door of a nearby car.
Then, a car sped past them.
Following behind, Duan Jianchuan and Wen Zishu saw this scene as soon as they walked out, and both were dumbstruck, "..."
What kind of soap opera plot is this?
Isn’t this too awkward?
Duan Jianchuan’s temple throbbed as he nudged Wen Zishu, "Didn’t you teach him how to date properly?"
Wen Zishu, looking utterly at a loss, paused at that question, "When did you ask me to teach him?"
Duan Jianchuan frowning softly, whispered, "Didn’t I tell you to teach him how to flirt with girls?"
Wen Zishu paused for a second before he recalled such a conversation, tongue-tied: "Does it look like he would take teaching from me? He’s not even willing to listen!"
Duan Jianchuan: "..."
Learning from Wen Zishu, even if it turned out badly, couldn’t be more awkward than now, could it?
Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan exchanged a glance, both sharing the same feelings.
It was truly too awkward!
Wen Zishu couldn’t help wondering if his brother had gone for special training at an oil refinery; how could he be so slick?
And speaking of the Abbot, who was he, after all? If there was real danger, it would be a danger to others.
Who could harm the Abbot?
This sudden act of playing the hero...
Wen Zishu and Duan Jianchuan both crossed their arms and sighed in unison, utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal.
