Chapter 1846: Chapter 764: Obedient_2

Since that night the two of them took to the road together, and then Zhao Yu deliberately went the wrong way, many things became out of control.

Of course, Zhou Wang didn’t have to drive every day. In fact, he didn’t drive very often. It was just occasionally when he was really unable to sleep alone, and happened to find Zhao Yu awake as well, that they would exchange some driving experiences.

But after all these days, the two of them have become extremely familiar with each other, naturally developing some driving jargon—

Zhao Yu, although older than Zhou Wang, is definitely far from being as experienced in driving skills as the well-traveled Zhou Wang, so at times, Zhao Yu finds it hard to cope with the tricks Zhou Wang pulls out now and then.

And at such times, Zhou Wang would call her name and gently say "good girl."

Even if Sister Xiao Yu feels shy in her heart, she still wants to satisfy all of Zhou Wang’s rebellious demands deep down, even if it goes completely against her nature.

It was the same at this moment; even though Sister Xiao Yu had never experienced such situations, as unwilling as she was, when she sensed Zhou Wang’s determination, she eventually turned her head and bit her lip lightly.

...

Linlin came back probably thirty minutes later.

She could have walked faster, but because she was wrapped in a large bath towel, it wasn’t that convenient after all.

The girl, though bravely showing off that daring bikini in front of Zhou Wang, was only doing so in front of him; she still couldn’t bring herself to walk around in public places wearing such revealing swimwear that emphasized her shape.

But when Linlin returned, she felt something was off.

First, was the position of the blanket changed? And the scene looked as if it had been swept by a strong wind, not only was the blanket wrinkled, but the originally placed fruits and snacks were all over the place, with quite a few scattered elsewhere.

And a certain area of the beach appeared obviously messy too, with several deep holes and some mysterious claw marks.

What puzzled Linlin even more was that Zhou Wang and Zhao Yu were far apart from each other; Zhou Wang was leaning against a rock smoking, while Zhao Yu lay on the wrinkled blanket facing away from him, as if she were asleep.

Linlin walked over and tentatively called out, "Mom?"

Sister Xiao Yu seemed to wake with a start, hearing Linlin’s voice she clumsily tried to get up from the blanket, but not sure if it was a slip or what, she fell back down with a "thud."

Linlin hurriedly went up to support her, "Mom, are you okay?"

Just touching Zhao Yu shocked Linlin too, for Zhao Yu’s skin was terrifyingly hot, and her cheeks had several strands of wet hair sticking to them, with that flushed look like she had a fever.

"I’m, I’m fine, uh, it’s too hot here..."

Zhao Yu reacted like an electric shock, quickly breaking away from Linlin’s hand and hurriedly explaining.

Linlin, although bewildered, had no similar experiences, making it difficult for her to associate more, so she let it go without probing further and turned to start tidying up.

"Mom, what did you do, why is everything all over the place..."

Facing Linlin’s teasing complaint, Zhao Yu’s face, already flushed like blood, got hotter.

How did this happen?

Remembering that scene made Zhao Yu’s heart race; she had been pinned down on the beach like a whining pup—

At times, Zhao Yu felt she was about to faint.

Trying hard to act calm, Zhao Yu also quickly got up, wanting to help Linlin tidy up, when suddenly she heard Linlin’s startled exclamation.

"Oh my, who’s so uncivilized, spitting all over the beach?"

Zhao Yu looked up to see Linlin frowning and staring at her hand; she must have accidentally touched something and found it covered in some viscous liquid.

Linlin disdainfully wiped her hand, quickly grabbing a bottle of mineral water nearby to rinse it.

"Ahem."

At this moment, Zhou Wang, who had just walked over, couldn’t help but blush, for once a bit awkward.

Sin, sin...

Murmuring a few times in his heart, Zhou Wang pulled out his phone to distract Linlin, also giving Sister Xiao Yu some time to rest:

"Come, Linlin, let your brother take some pictures for you."

"Alright, alright!"

...

Both Zhao Yu and Linlin were visiting the seaside seriously for the first time, so even though Zhou Wang started feeling bored afterwards, he still maintained his patience and played with them for a good afternoon on Gulangyu.

It wasn’t until evening at Dadeji Beach, watching the sunset slowly dye the sea golden, that Zhou Wang asked a passing girl to take a group photo, and the three of them left by boat, returning to Qin Island City.

Zhou Wang accompanied Zhao Yu to buy groceries afterward, originally planning to have a hotpot dinner, but when passing the old alley where the Wanghai Farewell Society was located, Zhou Wang unexpectedly noticed the shop door was ajar, and the lights inside were on.

The keys to the main store were only held by him and Yang Hao, so ruling out the possibility of a burglary, the inside could only have Yang Hao.

Seeing this, Zhou Wang told Sister Xiao Yu to ride the scooter back first, while he got off and walked toward the shop entrance.

However, just as he reached the door and was about to go in, the door was opened first, followed by two girls walking out in front of his puzzled gaze.

The girl in front had a ponytail and her features were somewhat cute, but she looked visibly angry at that moment, it was Xu Wanting.

The girl behind, whose hand Xu Wanting was holding, seemed a bit awkward, perhaps not quite sure what she had seen earlier; the dim light could hardly conceal her pure and innocent face, it was Ji Xiaoxi.

Suddenly bumping into Zhou Wang, the two girls halted their steps; Xu Wanting’s face remained filled with resentment as she glared fiercely at Zhou Wang, and while Zhou Wang felt a bit baffled, Xu Wanting bypassed him directly and moved forward.

"What’s going on?"

Zhou Wang looked at Ji Xiaoxi.

Since that night in the shop when they nearly caused a disaster on the small coffee table, their relationship had become somewhat peculiar.

On the surface, it seemed to have regressed compared to before. Although Ji Xiaoxi would still come to the shop from time to time before it closed, she seemed to be holding some sort of vigilance and resolutely avoided physical contact with Zhou Wang, often leaving with other girls right when it was time to close, completely leaving Zhou Wang no chance for alone time.

Yet, she would continue to chat with Zhou Wang on the phone, and one day she even asked him out to watch a movie together... Hmm, choosing a screening with a lot of people and sitting in the middle, Zhou Wang wasn’t able to do anything but hold her hand.

The recent interaction between them felt like a typical story of a man and a woman, during the time from just meeting to the budding of mutual affection, at that stage where it’s beyond ambiguous yet not quite a romantic relationship.

Zhou Wang thought about it carefully and realized this seemed to be the process he and Ji Xiaoxi had missed.

Understanding the young girl’s sentiments, Zhou Wang decided to go along with her; there was still some time left before the final deadline for reconciliation.

However, what puzzled Zhou Wang was that although he hadn’t touched Ji Xiaoxi recently, he kept receiving system notifications saying "Glue has been generated," albeit not much, but it was steadily growing, now close to the 60% baseline, leaving Zhou Wang quite perplexed.

"I accompanied Wanting to see Yang Hao. They... had a bit of a disagreement."

Ji Xiaoxi softly explained to Zhou Wang, barely starting to say more when Xu Wanting, who had already reached the roadside, impatiently called out.

"Xiaoxi!"

"I need to go now, you should go talk to Yang Hao."

Ji Xiaoxi couldn’t stay any longer, quietly saying a word and then went after Xu Wanting.

Zhou Wang shrugged, pushed open the shop door, and went inside; the place had only Yang Hao, who was sitting on the sofa looking despondent, not even noticing as the cigarette in his hand nearly burned his fingers.

Zhou Wang pondered for a moment and ultimately decided to say nothing, instead rummaging through the cabinets, grabbing the bottle of white liquor that Liu Rushuang brought the other day along with a pile of stewed snacks and such, placing them all on the coffee table.

Then Zhou Wang poured a glass for both of them, raised his glass and gestured to Yang Hao: "Let’s drink!"

With that, Zhou Wang downed his glass first, Yang Hao presumably needing to drown his sorrows too, despite usually having less tolerance for alcohol than Zhou Wang, he promptly raised his glass and chugged it.

"Ugh~"

Then Yang Hao, face flushed, leaned over the sofa and began retching.

Seeing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
