Chapter 259 Yao Shuli: I...didn't bring a change of clothes...

"Ber, I... I..."

Too hastily, Shen Ming'en was completely unprepared. Even though his phone was in his right-hand pocket, he frantically searched with both hands, back and front, his back pocket and his trench coat pocket, before finally managing to pull it out after a long time.

"You...what are you doing?"

Yao Shuli was already extremely embarrassed. Although she didn't know what Shen Mingen was up to, she could tell from his obvious "misunderstanding" attitude that he had ill intentions.

"Um... I haven't booked a hotel yet, let me see where I can find something..." Shen Ming'en said, scratching his head.

It wasn't hard to see that this guy was also a little flustered, but his appearance actually amused Yao Shuli. She felt both embarrassed and amused, while a mix of panic and anxiety swirled within her—it was a very complex feeling...

"What are you thinking about!" she quickly explained, "I saw you came all this way in a rush, and I thought you looked tired, so I wanted you to find a place to rest."

"I was just looking for a place to rest..." Shen Ming'en scratched his head, indicating that he couldn't get over the "rest" joke.

"Then you... I..." Yao Shuli didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Yes!

You're the one who told them to "rest"!
Under the cover of night, Yao Shuli's fair and delicate face appeared even more alluring when it turned rosy.

After hesitating for a moment, she really didn't know how to explain, so she simply said, "Anyway, I'm not going to the hotel with you!"

His proud and self-righteous manner amused Shen Ming'en...

"I didn't say I wanted you to come to the hotel with me," Shen Ming'en said with a laugh.

Although Shen Mingen admitted that he had indeed "taken the opportunity to back down," he did need to find a place to stay. He couldn't very well let his top star, Hajime, sleep under a bridge, could he?

This guy was clearly joking with Yao Shuli, and even the usually good-natured Yao Shuli was almost driven crazy by it. She couldn't help but lightly punch him with her small fist...

She wouldn't say something as cheesy and cheesy as "I hate you~", but when faced with the cheeky Hajime, she couldn't help but throw a little punch.

"Ha ha……"

Shen Ming'en laughed loudly, stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Yao Shuli's slender waist, saying:
"Let's go, time to eat!"

To be honest, even though Shen Mingen and Yao Shuli have been in a relationship for a long time, they haven't really had many intimate gestures. Apart from holding hands and the time Shen Mingen kissed Yao Shuli in the tent in Yunnan before he went abroad, there haven't been any other intimate actions.

Yao Shuli was a little unaccustomed to being suddenly wrapped around the waist...

However, the familiar scent emanating from the person beside her, and the warm aura that seemed so comforting in this autumn night, made her feel at ease.

With a smile playing on her lips, Yao Shuli didn't refuse him; she simply moved his hand slightly.

"What?" Shen Ming'en asked, "You won't let me hug you?"

“…You’re too high up,” Yao Shuli said softly. “It would be impolite to go any higher.”

"cough……"

……

Shen Ming'en had originally booked a local Shanghainese restaurant for dinner, since he was in Shanghai and wanted to be a "local tyrant" for once.
However, Shen Ming'en discovered that Yao Shuli barely ate anything at the restaurant, but when they passed by a food street, she couldn't take her eyes off the vendors selling roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), stinky tofu, and fried skewers.

That's incredibly extravagant!
The local dishes he ordered, costing over a thousand yuan, were barely touched. Then, Shen Ming'en took Yao Shuli to a roadside stall to buy stinky tofu…

On the bustling food street late at night, Yao Shuli, who was wearing a mask and had her hair tied up, was not recognized by anyone for a while. She was just standing at the back of the crowd waiting for Shen Mingen, and it was a little cold.

Fortunately, Shen Ming'en quickly left the crowded stinky tofu stall with a serving of stinky tofu and rushed over to Yao Shuli. He put his arm around her and led her to a corner, saying:

"Let's go find a place to eat secretly."

Because of their "special status," the two of them really didn't dare to eat in the food street. They had to buy snacks and find a corner to eat in, just like thieves.

Although Yao Shuli shared the same sentiment, she had to admit that it actually felt quite nice...

After finishing get off work late at night, if someone takes you to a food street to eat and explore, they won't tell you whether the food is unhealthy or fattening, or that you need to control your figure. They certainly won't say that a big star like you going to a food street can easily cause congestion, or that you need to inform them in advance...

It won't cause you any anxiety or give you any concerns.

He'll just tell you, "Wow, there's such a long line for this stinky tofu, it must be delicious!"

He'll also find you a corner so you can share a plate of stinky tofu with him...

"I really admire you," Yao Shuli said to Shen Ming'en, her words slightly muffled as she put the crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside fried stinky tofu into her mouth. "If it were me, with so many people, I probably wouldn't know how to buy any."

I love people...

Yao Shuli is a typical i person, and she has a bit of social anxiety. When she sees a long queue, people like Shen Mingen, who are E people, will go up and yell to ask the boss how to queue. But she can't do that. She's always afraid that people will look at her...

Shen Ming'en laughed and teased, "You're so concerned about your image, aren't you?"

Yao Shuli: “(￢_￢) peek”

If you walk further down the snack street, there's a yogurt stall. Damn, their yogurt is ridiculously expensive! A small plastic bottle of yogurt costs 10 yuan! Even Anmuxi wouldn't dare to sell it for that much!

However, seeing that Yao Shuli seemed to like it very much, Shen Ming'en generously bought four flavors: mango, strawberry, original, and vanilla, so that Yao Shuli could drink them in different flavors.

What did Yao Shuli say when she first bought it?

"I can't drink anymore, it's too much, I'll get fat..."

Then, as Shen Ming'en was shopping, he noticed that the bag he was carrying was getting lighter and lighter. Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to find that all four bottles of milk were gone!

He looked up at Yao Shuli in disbelief. Yao Shuli had raised her hands to deny it outright, but as soon as she raised her hands...

"Hiccup~"

He immediately let out a burp.

That was a burp. Don't doubt it, she must have drunk the strawberry flavored one last time. Shen Ming'en could smell it!

"puff……"

"a ha ha ha……"

Then Yao Shuli was met with a barrage of "soul-searching mockery" from Hajien.

"...Don't laugh!"

Yao Shuli was so embarrassed that she wanted to smash Shen Ming'en's "golden voice" in the street.

The two strolled and played along the way, hand in hand, through the crowded food street. Yao Shuli gradually got used to being led by Shen Mingen and grew fond of the warmth from his large hand.

In autumn, the weather gets cool, and every year when autumn arrives, Yao Shuli's hands are always icy cold. Her assistant would prepare hand warmers for her every year, but at this moment, Yao Shuli felt that no matter how hot the hand warmer was, it was not as warm as Shen Mingen's hands.

To be honest, for a "lady from a wealthy family" like Yao Shuli, who has been well-off since childhood, she's not really interested in taking you to high-end restaurants. The more you take her to a food street, the easier it is for her to be manipulated... This is probably why, throughout history, precious daughters have often been lured away by young scoundrels.

People always say that daughters should be raised in luxury, because if they are raised in poverty from a young age, they are easily fooled by money when they grow up. But have they ever told you that daughters should also be down-to-earth?

To put it bluntly, if a child raised in poverty is fooled, it's usually by someone with a bit of money. But if a child raised in wealth is fooled by a poor kid, that's truly baffling!

The possibility of it burning in the crotch is relatively small; it's just one possibility.

In any case, Yao Shuli felt a sense of "happiness" tonight...

They strolled around carefree, even though the night was short and they hadn't eaten much, they still felt very happy...

Even though people nearby occasionally recognize them, and sometimes some people secretly take photos or videos with their phones, Shen Ming'en has never tried to hide it.

Generous and generous.

Shen Ming'en made her feel that his love was something she could proudly display.

It was quite late when we left the food street, around 10 p.m., and most of the shops on the street had already closed one after another.

By this time, the temperature had dropped considerably, and it was getting a bit chilly. After Shen Ming'en helped Yao Shuli into the car, he didn't say a word and drove off...

At first, Yao Shuli didn't realize what was going on. She was still happily showing off the starch sausage she had just bought at the exit of the food street...

As he watched Shen Ming'en drive the car into the underground parking garage of the hotel he had booked for the night, he realized that something seemed to be going on...

No! Too! Yes!
At that moment, Yao Shuli still had a bit of cumin powder left on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know where to put the starch sausage skewer in her hand, when Shen Mingen had already parked the car in the hotel parking space.

Yao Shuli looked at Shen Ming'en strangely, her pretty face growing increasingly red...

And then there's Hajime, that guy is a real talent!
He didn't realize that Yao Shuli was in the passenger seat until he stopped the car!
"Oh! Right! I forgot! Look..."

He immediately waved his hand, pretending to say, "I forgot I was supposed to take you home," and said:

"I forgot to take you home, it's my fault, it's my fault."

For a moment, Yao Shuli honestly wondered if Hajime might have really done it by accident, because judging from his posture, it seemed like he was really planning to restart the car and drive her home.

To be honest, for some reason, at that moment Yao Shuli felt a sense of relief, but also a tiny bit of... disappointment...

It will be very fast!

After starting the car, Hajime took a closer look at his vehicle, slapped his forehead, and said:
"Oh no, the power's dead..."

Shen Ming'en rented a pure electric car, which he booked in advance when he took off from Beijing. The rental company delivered the car directly to the airport parking lot, and the service was quite good. It's just that the battery capacity is a bit of a letdown...

How long did I run? Why is the battery dead?

All I wrote in the notes was "Don't fully charge it," so why did you give me a car with no power?

Yao Shuli: "???"

Although Yao Shuli had heard many times before that men could be "cunning" in deceiving women, she never thought that Shen Mingen could pull off something like this!

Are you serious?! The car battery's dead?!
"...Why don't you just say your cat can do backflips?" She was so angry she laughed.

"puff……"

Shen Ming'en said with a laugh:

"No, look at the battery level. We really can't take you back now. You need to charge it."

"Then I'll take a taxi?" Yao Shuli said.

"It's so late..." Shen Ming'en's eyes darted away, "I'm worried about you going back by yourself."

“Luo Luo and the others could actually come and pick them up,” Yao Shuli added.

"So they were safe on their way here so late?!" Shen Ming'en said righteously.

Wow, every single sentence has a countermeasure; they came prepared!
Yao Shuli realized that Shen Ming'en had no intention of letting her leave tonight. Although she didn't know why, her heart was inexplicably racing, but...

She's still reserved after all!

She was about to refuse, but Shen Ming'en retorted:
"Um... there seems to be a charging station here. How about this, I'll charge this car for a bit, it should only take about an hour to get back. Let's go upstairs and rest for a while. Don't worry, I absolutely won't touch you, I swear to this car!"

"Pfft..."

He swore to the car that he was quite the flirt, and he managed to break Yao Shuli's guard in no time.

A pair of large, round eyes darted around in the car, but perhaps unable to find a better excuse, Yao Shuli simply said:
"I...didn't bring any spare clothes either..."

To be honest, Hajime is such a damn straight man. What did Yao Shuli mean by saying that? Not bringing a change of clothes means she's definitely planning to stay overnight!
As a result, Shen Mingen didn't react at first and said something.

He said, "That's alright, I'll buy it for you. They sell it on delivery sites, or I can drive out and buy it for you..."

The car battery died, so you're taking Yao Shuli home, but then you find a shop to buy her a change of clothes? Fine, fine, Hajime, you rascal…

in the end!

Hajime isn't stupid!
As he was speaking, he realized something seemed off, and the words he was about to say stopped abruptly...

Then, he was stunned.

Then, he looked up at Yao Shuli sitting in the passenger seat...

The dim lighting inside the car seemed to cast shadows on Yao Shuli, making her already rosy face appear even more three-dimensional and full.

At this moment, a hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face...

Perhaps unable to withstand Shen Mingen's intense gaze, Yao Shuli quickly opened the car door and got out, saying:

"Hurry...hurry up and check in."

"Ah...ah!"

Shen Mingen literally kicked the car door open with one kick!

Immediately afterwards, he sprinted to the hotel front desk and checked in. To be honest, he couldn't wait for the elevator and took the stairs instead!

After checking in...

Then it's time to get down to business.
