"Boss Chu!"
Chu Jiangyue and Shen Zhigui had just walked into the entrance of Jianglin Hotel when the guy with Water Ability ran up, directly blocking their path.
"Do you have any other business?"
Paynt has already been made, surely he’s not asking for more money?
Chu Jiangyue looked at the guy with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Boss Chu, I would like to talk to you about sothing private. Mr. Shen..."
He’s clearly trying to get Shen Zhigui to leave.
"It’s alright, then I’ll head out first. Contact anyti if needed."
Shen Zhigui didn’t show any reaction, because he knew that Chu Jiangyue couldn’t possibly have any feelings for a guy she’s t for the first ti.
However, before leaving, he took a mont to look at the guy, then passed by him.
"Speak your mind."
After Shen Zhigui was out of earshot, Chu Jiangyue looked at the guy, but her attitude was much colder than before.
Chu Jiangyue disliked being forced by others. Although this guy with Water Ability seed vulnerable the whole ti, blocking her directly and making Shen Zhigui leave really hit Chu Jiangyue’s sore spot.
She hadn’t lost her temper yet solely because he’s a guest at Jianglin Hotel.
"Boss Chu, I like you, could you be my girlfriend!"
"Wow—"
There were jeers, whistles, and all sorts of reactions.
Soone even shouted, "Say yes to him," causing Chu Jiangyue to furrow her brows.
"I rember, we just t for the first ti today, right?"
Maybe this guy has seen her many tis, but in Chu Jiangyue’s mory, it’s indeed their first eting today.
"Definitely not, you previously ca with Mr. Shen and them and rescued us from the school."
Wasn’t that the school with Zhu Lanlan last ti?
Turns out it’s their second eting, but during their first eting, Chu Jiangyue had no impression at all.
"So, you fell for ?"
To this, Chu Jiangyue could only say she is skeptical about his feelings.
Back then there were so many people, why did he single her out?
"Host, I think he’s trying to cozy up to a sugar mommy."
Little Fox’s voice suddenly chid in her mind, causing Chu Jiangyue to almost lose her composure.
What’s cozying up to a sugar mommy?
Is the system really that frivolous now?
"Yes! I fell in love with you at first sight, please say yes, I will treat you well in the future."
Chu Jiangyue rolled her eyes silently.
"Thank you for your affection, but I don’t like you, you better not focus on ."
Having said this, Chu Jiangyue tried to bypass him and go inside.
Unexpectedly, the guy took a step to continue blocking her: "Why? Tell where I’m lacking, and I’ll change."
Chu Jiangyue was puzzled. From their brief encounter until now, it hadn’t even been 20 minutes, how could she judge what’s good or bad?
"There’s nothing bad about you, just not my type."
Chu Jiangyue could only make limited comnts, the guy was barely seventeen or eighteen, though she was also just eighteen herself, having reincarnated from three years later, her psychological age was already 21.
"Don’t block , otherwise... you might not be able to stay at Jianglin Hotel."
Chu Jiangyue rarely used this reason to threaten people, but when truly pushed, she wasn’t above taking such asures.
Hearing her say he might not be able to stay at Jianglin Hotel, the guy reluctantly moved aside, though his gaze at her was filled with sadness.
However, with three years of extra experience, this kind of sadness was sowhat suspect.
How suspect depended on the guy’s acting skills.
Chu Jiangyue successfully rid herself of the guy, but her mood was largely ruined.
Shen Zhigui appeared seemingly out of nowhere, naturally walking alongside her.
"Confessed to, yet you don’t seem delighted, shouldn’t you be happy?"
Shen Zhigui acted like he was having a casual chat with a friend, and Chu Jiangyue didn’t find it unusual.
"Would you be happy to be confessed to by soone you don’t like and then pestered?"
For Chu Jiangyue, Shen Zhigui was now akin to a close friend.
Though not quite a truly intimate friend yet.
Shen Zhigui pondered how he’d feel in such a situation, sowhat understanding her mood.
"I get it. Earlier you ntioned he’s not your type, so what is your type?"
Taking the chance, Shen Zhigui asked a question he wanted to know.
"Why, are you planning to set up?"
Lately, Chu Jiangyue wasn’t thinking of finding a partner.
Given she handled Jianglin Hotel, the man she’d be with might be rumored in the background to be reliant on her.
Few could endure such gossip.
"If you want, it’s possible."
Shen Zhigui spoke lightheartedly but with sincerity.
"I’m not planning on finding a partner right now."
Not to ntion the post-apocalyptic world where survival was already tough enough, better not overthink.
Hearing this, Shen Zhigui was uncertain if he felt joy or disappointnt.
Yet it compelled him to be more mindful of his behavior in front of Chu Jiangyue, hoping not to cause discomfort.
"You helped today, I should give you compensation. What would you like?"
Shen Zhigui’s effort far surpassed the guy with Water Ability, making gauging compensation challenging for Chu Jiangyue.
"No need, I was just free today and thought I’d do sothing to pass ti."
Shen Zhigui genuinely wasn’t seeking compensation, digging a couple of holes didn’t warrant a reward, he found it too absurd.
Chu Jiangyue browsed her System Mall, but nothing unlocked quite suited Shen Zhigui’s needs.
"I’ll owe you then, let you know next ti sothing new arrives."
Since Shen Zhigui hadn’t specified compensation, it didn’t seem appropriate to offer ordinary hotel goods.
He could certainly afford those.
Shen Zhigui nodded, fully agreeable to her arrangents.
Maybe even Chu Jiangyue didn’t realize, but she showed Shen Zhigui more patience than with others.
In no ti, they reached Chu Jiangyue’s cabin, handing him a hoe: "I’ll stop here, call on if needed again."
Chu Jiangyue took the hoe back: "Thank you, next ti let’s have dinner."
Picking up the spade and hoe, she entered the cabin.
Inside, Granny Hua was still busy in the kitchen, while elsewhere was impeccably tidy to a point it barely looked lived-in, resembling more a showhouse.
