Restaurants connect to everything? It's reasonable for me to make 1 billion, right?

Chapter 501 Love rivals meet
The next day, it rained.

A clear sky in the interstellar world, a clear sky in the cultivation world, and a blizzard in the Western fantasy continent.

Sheng Jiu:?
what?
Did the food supply deal fall through?

Alex quickly explained, "Snow doesn't affect the growth of the fruit."

This is certainly not because the fruit can grow in reverse.

Rather, the mainland of Nanping is particularly large, and the mountain ranges in this area are also particularly wide. It's possible that snow is falling in one place while it's sunny in another.

Fruits outside the blizzard area will grow normally and will not be affected.

Sheng Jiu wanted the Rouge Apricot, and Alex kept that in mind.

Although he was seriously injured, he was rescued and is now recovering well.

His original plan was to go out and check the situation, and risk going to find Rouge Apricot.

Previously, Alex hadn't paid attention to these things, but now he needs to search for them again, or go back to town to buy a plant distribution map.

Of course, some maps may not be accurate.

Because the entire mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles, is vast, and contains a wide variety of species, adventurers may not be able to explore it all.

Therefore, the accuracy of the map is compromised.

Alex couldn't wait to find Apricot.

As a result, Bohr subdued him after just one demonstration in the morning.

He was injured after all, and his physical condition was affected.

Because of this, Alex was very depressed all morning and remained in a state of emo for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Sun Susu couldn't help but nudge Boer: "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Paul shrugged indifferently: "Ah, the young boss went through a lot of trouble to save him. If he squanders it again, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

That makes sense, Sun Susu nodded.

Paul dissuaded Alex from his plan to go find Apricot right now.

Sheng Jiu also wanted him to rest well and fully recover before going out on adventures.

Although Alex said that the brave are fearless.

However, we should still respect life and death!

After the family finished eating, Ares came and knocked on the door.

When he arrived, Lin Duo had just picked some fresh wildflowers from the cultivation world and put them in a vase on the second floor.

When Sheng Jiu went to open the door, she was almost hit in the face by an enormous bouquet of flowers.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and Ares seemed to realize something was wrong, pulling his hand back.

Ares blushed furiously when he realized he had almost messed up his first attempt at delivering flowers.

He paused for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't control the distance well."

Sheng Jiu was shoved in the face with flowers, and the fragrance seemed to reach right to the top of her head.

Ares bought a bouquet that was carefully prepared by the florist. It not only smelled of flowers, but also came with many other fragrances to make the bouquet even more exquisite.

The aromas, when mixed together, still felt too strong.

Sheng Jiu was stunned by the smell for a moment before shaking her head: "It's nothing, what's wrong with you..."

Did you bring over a bouquet of flowers first thing in the morning?

Sheng Jiu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Lin Duo realized something was wrong and silently walked behind Sheng Jiu, looking at Ares with a complicated expression.

Ares ignored his reaction and looked at Sheng Jiu with a serious expression, asking in a deep voice, "Ms. Sheng Jiu, may I formally pursue you?"

Sheng Jiu:?
what?
She was genuinely puzzled.

No?

Brother, you...

Don't do it!
You're making yourselves look like heartthrobs.

However, Sheng Jiu knew that she wasn't!
What are the conditions?

He's supposed to be a heartthrob?
Even something as good as money can be disliked by some people.

What's more, what about a single person?
Sheng Jiu didn't think she had the potential to be a heartthrob. Most of these people were blinded by the gratitude they owed her and started spouting nonsense.

Moreover, Ares has been gone for so long, hasn't he recovered from the feeling of being rescued yet?

She looked over with a surprised expression, making Ares feel quite embarrassed.

Sheng Jiu originally wanted to say, "Stop messing around, stop joking."

But seeing Ares's ears still red, she couldn't help but think: Huh? Seriously?

But is that right?

Sheng Jiu didn't know what to say. She wanted to say that it was their right to pursue whomever they wanted, and that they didn't need her consent.

However, remembering what Lin Duo had said before, that if she didn't agree, then they would be harassing her, Sheng Jiu felt that she shouldn't have said that.
But if we don't say it this way, how should we say it?

Sheng Jiu swallowed slightly, then asked uncertainly, "Are you... serious?"

Ares nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Sheng Jiu hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "You know, normally a person can only date one person at a time, right?"

Ares nodded to indicate that he understood: "Of course I know, but the law doesn't stipulate that you can only have one suitor at a time, so I should be able to ask, right?"

Sheng Jiu:......

She genuinely didn't know how to reply.

Moreover, judging from Ares's words, it seems he already knows that Lin Duo is pursuing her?

You know all along, why are you still doing this?
Are you guys crazy?
Confused, Sheng Jiu asked again in a low voice, "Can I refuse?"

Ares nodded gently: "Of course, but can I pursue her from a distance?"

Fearing that Sheng Jiu might not understand what "long distance" meant, Ares quickly explained, "It means far away, so as not to disturb your daily life."

Sheng Jiu:?
What kind of pursuit is that?
However, even if you reject them, they will still pursue you.

So, this rejection is just a lonely thing?
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Jiu waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want."

For now, all she cares about is money.

In Ares's view, not refusing was equivalent to agreeing.

So, he happily held the flowers and asked with a smile, "May I go in and put the flowers in?"

Sheng Jiu turned her head and glanced at the vase that Lin Duo had already put flowers in, and said helplessly, "There are no vases left."

Ares smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I brought it."

Sheng Jiu:......

My mother tongue is speechless.

At that moment, she really wanted to just give up.

However, Ares and Lin Duo's presence was too strong for her to ignore.

Are the two of them now barely considered rivals?

It's normal for them to dislike each other, but they were kind enough not to make things difficult for each other.

The absence of conflict allowed Sheng Jiu to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

You can pursue it, that's beyond my control.

But please stop causing trouble, or you'll ruin my business!
Lin Duo disliked Ares.

Ares didn't find him pleasing at all.
Two people who loathe each other are arranging the flowers they have carefully prepared for each other.

Lin Duo felt that he had been outdone.

However, he was not discouraged.

He has more advantages than Ares.

At least for now, small business owners need their own company in their daily lives.

In fact, Lin Duo also knew that his position was dispensable, and that Sheng Jiu could discard him at any time if she didn't want to.

However, the young boss didn't, and he hadn't rejected Lin Duo's advances before, so Lin Duo felt that he still had a chance.

He will try his best!
　The second update will be at 19 PM.
