Hunt her

Shen Yi knew that she missed him now.

Shen Yi: "I'm not busy. Do you have any dinner plans for tonight?"

Yan Xu hung his head, his mind a complete blank; "No, I have no appetite, I don't know what to eat."

Shen Yi glanced at the time. If he pretended that he came to see her from Yunzhao County, it would take at least three hours, including the time by train and taxi to the hotel.

It's been too long...

Shen Yi had a sudden inspiration: "I have an order today in the county closest to Kuncheng. It only takes 30 minutes to get to the city center. Give me your location and I'll come find you."

Yan Xu was silent for a while: "But... I'm in a bad mood right now, and I'm afraid it will make you feel bad too."

"Fool." Shen Yi waved for Ren Mingting to leave first, and only spoke after he left, "I'm your husband, a husband who shares both good times and bad. You should come to me when you're in a bad mood, understand?"

Yan Xu's pent-up emotions seemed to burst forth at this moment, slowly leaking out.

Tears kept streaming down her face, just like her trust in Xiao Jingxing was slowly slipping away.

Her parents, whom she once trusted, chose to abandon her, and she was grateful to have met Xiao Jingxing.

But she never expected that when she grew up, Xiao Jingxing would become like her parents, willing to sacrifice her rights for profit.

Yan Xu cried herself to sleep on the sofa.

In my dream, there were my parents, Xiao Jingxing, Xiao Tong, Yan Zheng, Aunt Chen, and Shen Yi.

They were all walking in the opposite direction from her, except for Shen Yi, who stood still and waited for her.

But as she drew near, he vanished in a wisp of smoke.

"Yan Xu... wake up."

When she opened her eyes, she was already lying in bed, and Shen Yi had arrived.

Shen Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Had another nightmare? It's okay, I'm here."

Yan Xu lay on the bed, staring blankly at Shen Yi, expressionless and emotionless.

She slowly began, "I dreamt that everyone abandoned me and left, including you..."

"Look... I'm right here with you now, aren't I? Don't scare yourself with these thoughts." Shen Yi helped her sit up. "I'll take you out to eat later."

Yan Xu hesitated: "I don't want to eat."

She loses her appetite whenever she feels down, and I wonder if it's a lingering effect of her previous anorexia.

Shen Yi didn't give her a chance to refuse: "You have to go whether you want to or not. If you don't have a good appetite, eat less, but you can't not eat."

Although he spoke quite harshly, Yan Xu was very happy to hear it.

He has the feel of a domineering CEO from a novel.

Yan Xu suddenly remembered something: "How did you know I was in this room?"

Five-star luxury hotels like this don't allow just anyone to come up.

"Um... um..." Shen Yi opened his phone's photo album. "I showed the front desk our marriage certificate and told them I had a fight with my wife, and they gave me a room number."

Yan Xu glanced at him and said, "You've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

Shen Yi teased her, "That's called outsmarting her, baby."

"...So cheesy." Yan Xu got goosebumps all over when he heard it.

After Shen Yi arrived, Yan Xu's mood improved significantly.

After getting up and tidying up, the two of them went out together.

It's 9 p.m., and there should be a lot of people coming and going in the hotel, but there's not a single person here except for a few young ladies at the front desk.

Yan Xu looked around: "All the rooms are booked, but there's not a single person in sight."

Shen Yi grabbed her arm to stop her from going to the fine thread: "Let's go quickly, the restaurants will all be closed soon."

Yan Xu regained his composure and said, "Oh."

Shen Yi took a taxi to a nearby food street, and there were also shopping malls nearby, but it was too late and they were about to close.

"The last time I strolled through a food street was back in my school days," Yan Xu remarked, marveling at how fast time flies; she's married now.

Shen Yi waved his hand dismissively: "Buy whatever you want, it's on me tonight."

Yan Xu laughed at him, "Judging by this, you'd think I'm looking for a tycoon."

Shen Yi followed up with her question, "What if I win the lottery one day and really become a millionaire? Would you still be willing to be my rich wife?"

"Of course," Yan Xu said confidently, "opportunities to curry favor with powerful figures don't come often."

Joking aside, Yan Xu still told him to be realistic and not to dream of soaring to great heights.

Shen Yi just smiled when he heard that.

The food street brings together delicacies from all over the country, including Sichuan cold pot skewers, Guizhou sour soup hot pot, and Taiwanese oyster omelet, among many others.

Yan Xu originally had no appetite, but seeing so much food, she was tempted and started to crave it.

She tugged at Shen Yi's sleeve and pointed to the Changsha hand-pulled tofu in front of them: "I want to eat this."

I can smell the stench from far away, it must taste delicious.

Without saying a word, Shen Yi scanned the payment code: "Buy one."

Yan Xu saw a stall behind him selling takoyaki (octopus balls), which looked delicious.

Shen Yi saw through her thoughts: "Buy it if you want to eat it."

Yan Xu looked up at him, somewhat conflicted: "But if we buy too much, it will be a waste if we can't finish it."

She doesn't waste food.

"I'll eat it," Shen Yi replied domineeringly. "If you can't finish it, give it to me, I'll take care of it."

Wow.

Shen Yi looked incredibly handsome at that moment.

Yan Xu's face flushed instantly, and she couldn't stop laughing: "Hahaha... Shen Yi, how come I never noticed how domineering you are before?"

Shen Yi pouted with a slightly smug look on her face: "You only realize how good I am now? Don't get too obsessed with me, or you might become hopelessly addicted."

"..." Going too far would be greasy. Yan Xu patted his arm in disgust. "Stop pretending."

The stall owner witnessed their interaction. He said, "It's better to be young. At my age, even a kiss from my wife gives me nightmares all night."

Yan Xu and Shen Yi exchanged awkward laughs.

Shen Yi leaned down close to Yan Xu's ear: "If you ever dare to dislike me in the future, I'll kiss you every day. The more you dislike me, the more I'll kiss you."

Yan Xu pushed him away, and his breath tickled the back of her ear as he spoke.

Yan Xu's ears turned red: "Maybe you're the one who dislikes me."

She often sees entertainment news about couples who have been together for many years, where the husband cheats on her...

Shen Yi pulled her close, holding her in his arms and whispering, "No... I react the moment I touch you."

"!"

Yan Xu subconsciously glanced down, and sure enough...

Her ears immediately perked up.

"..."
