I nodded. I had a bad feeling, but there was no other choice. Mo Ran would definitely take revenge, but Lan seemed more reliable. Still, considering how Bao Xi usually bullies Shu Yang, I wasn’t sure if Lan would do something to Bao Xi…
Shu Yang smiled gently, “Alright, I’ll go talk to Lan.”
I nodded stiffly, forcing a smile at Shu Yang. Silently praying: Bao Xi, you’d better behave yourself tomorrow…
[Volume One: Encounter – Chapter Twenty-Seven: My Date with Shu Yang.]
In the morning, before leaving, I nagged at Lan: “Lan! Bao Xi is still young, you must not argue with him, and he can’t even dress himself. After you help him dress, remember to help him wash. Oh! And he can’t use chopsticks, so you’ll need to feed him bite by bite for three meals… and he’s directionally challenged, so you’ll need to take him to the toilet…”
Lan pushed me out the door.
I stomped my feet, throwing a tantrum: “What’s with Lan’s attitude?! It’s making me so angry! If that man mistreats Bao Xi, when we return from our date, Bao Xi might be a total wreck!” Shu Yang patted my head, “It’s okay, don’t worry, Lan won’t be that cruel, things aren’t as serious as you think.”
Comforted by Shu Yang, we finally arrived at the shopping paradise – the market.
My eyes immediately lit up, my innate shopping addiction returning. Shu Yang looked at me and laughed: “Xiao Han, buy whatever you want, I’ll pay.” I turned to him with immense gratitude, dramatically crying and wiping my nose on his sleeve: “Yang, you’re so good! Mwah!”
After kissing Shu Yang, I started frantically shopping. Shu Yang stood by, watching me shop wildly, laughing as if he wasn’t losing his hard-earned money.
I waved my hand excitedly, pointing at the pile of items on the ground, and shouted to him, “Xiao Yang! Come and pay for this~~!” He helplessly shook his head, thinking I only remembered him when I needed his wallet. “Hehe, okay, coming!”
Several hired porters carried my items, following behind with painful expressions. I touched my rumbling stomach and blinked at Shu Yang, “Xiao Yang, I’m hungry! Shall we go eat?”
