Do You Come Back at Night

Su Xiyan was still wondering what this secret technique was, and Cheng Xinran had already sent the location of the restaurant she wanted to eat at tomorrow.

It seemed that this girl was determined to eat delicious food!

After finishing the meal, Su Xiyan seemed to be in a good mood. She even cleaned up the dishes and washed them spotlessly.

Chen Shuo was in his room, listening carefully to the sounds outside.

Not only did he not hear Su Xiyan ordering him to clean up the dishes,

Why did he faintly hear Su Xiyan humming a tune?

Chen Shuo couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It was just winning a swordsmanship competition. Why is she so happy?"

"Women's thoughts are really hard to fathom!"

"I'd better go play games."

The friendly match between Nanyang University and Wangjing Media College's Kendo Club was truly exciting.

Even though the competition had ended, the stories of this match were still circulating in the school's chat groups and forums.

Especially some of the exciting moments from the competition were being shared in various groups, and the boys were admiring the heroic posture of their goddesses, wishing they could lick the screen.

Looking at the comments of those "licking dogs" in the chat group, Chen Shuo couldn't help but laugh.

Wasn't it just a competition? Was it that serious?

In the Kendo Club chat group, classmates were praising Su Xiyan as the key player who turned the tide at the last moment, allowing them to win the victory.

Some enthusiastic and cheerful classmates even mentioned Su Xiyan in the group:

"[@Su Xiyan, Senior Sister, your last few moves were amazing today! You completely overwhelmed the opponent!]"

"Su Senior Sister is beautiful and cool! Love her!"

"[@Su Xiyan, Goddess, come out and say a few words of victory, so that we can all learn from the goddess.]"

"Looking forward.jpg"

...

Under everyone's expectations, Su Xiyan finally spoke up:

"The reason we were able to win this competition is the collective effort of everyone. Thank you all! I would also like to specially thank Chen Shuo for being my sparring partner."

What??

Chen Shuo? Chen Shuo??

Everyone in the Kendo Club chat group never expected that Su Xiyan would actually mention Chen Shuo and even praise him!

You know, Su Xiyan has always been known for being strict!

To receive Su Xiyan's praise, that was truly a once-in-a-lifetime honor!

And she even mentioned him by name?!

In the eyes of their classmates, this was an unprecedented honor!

Seeing that Su Xiyan was openly praising Chen Shuo in the Kendo Club chat group, but the protagonist Chen Shuo didn't show up, many classmates started mentioning him:

"[@Chen Shuo, Junior Brother, Su Senior Sister praised you, why aren't you coming out?]"

"[@Chen Shuo, Chen Shuo, can you train me next time? I also want to become an excellent Kendo player like Chen Shuo.]"

"[@Chen Shuo, Su Senior Sister mentioned you, you can't ignore it, right?]"

...

Chen Shuo, who was about to play games, saw that people kept mentioning him in the group,

Impatiently, he typed a few words: "[Why mention me??]"

After thinking about it, he didn't send it.

Forget it, pretend I didn't see it! Out of sight, out of mind.

What's so fun about the group chat anyway? It's more interesting to cry in the depths of the abyss.

So, Chen Shuo set his group chat to "Do Not Disturb" and opened a game.

Inside the Swordsmanship Club's group chat, Chen Shuo remained silent.

Many male students who used to envy Chen Shuo started making snide remarks.

Fortunately, many girls were on Chen Shuo's side, especially since it was already evening. After a long day, Chen Shuo might be tired and in need of rest.

The chat in the group ended in this somewhat uneasy atmosphere.

The next afternoon, after Chen Shuo finished his last class, he called Su Xiyan:

"I'm done with classes. When are you going back?"

There was some background noise on the other end of the phone as Su Xiyan answered: "I don't have any classes in the afternoon. I've already gone out shopping."

"You can go back by yourself! I won't be home for dinner."

Chen Shuo didn't understand what was going on and asked with a twitch of his mouth, "Are you coming back tonight?"

Su Xiyan replied irritably, "Sleep on the streets?!"

Chen Shuo said, "I don't care where you sleep! Since you're so fierce and capable, no one should be able to take advantage of you."

Su Xiyan coldly snorted, "Yes, you're right. Besides you, no one can take advantage of me."

Chen Shuo said, "???"

"Hey, can we make it clear? When did I take advantage of you?"

"Hey, Su..."

"You hung up? How rude!"

Chen Shuo listened to the beeping sound of the call ending on the other end of the phone, and his face turned into the expression of "How dare you falsely accuse me!" as seen in reaction images.

It was fine that Su Xiyan didn't come home for dinner. There were still some sea cucumbers in the refrigerator that she usually ate to supplement collagen. Chen Shuo decided to eat them all at night, maybe make a scallion-flavored sea cucumber dish, and not leave any for her!

Su Xiyan's car had two keys, one for her and one for Chen Shuo.

Chen Shuo thought Su Xiyan had gone out in her car since it was her car. However, when Chen Shuo walked out of the campus gate, he found Su Xiyan's car parked quietly in a diagonal parking space across the street.

She went out shopping without driving?

And she didn't take a taxi either?

Could it be... someone came to pick her up?

Chen Shuo imagined many scenarios and immediately called Su Xiyan, "Who are you shopping with today?"

Su Xiyan didn't give a precise answer, "Do I need to report to you?"

"What position are you in to ask about my whereabouts?"

Chen Shuo replied, "...forget it, pretend I didn't ask. What do I care?"

This time, it was Chen Shuo who hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Chen Shuo unlocked Su Xiyan's car and sat in the driver's seat without driving for a while.

Clearly, he should feel even freer when Su Xiyan wasn't around.

But why did he feel a somewhat uncomfortable feeling in his heart?

At the most upscale Chinese restaurant in Su City, the waiters dressed in suits and waistcoats stood respectfully at the entrance, welcoming guests.

A red Ferrari parked at the entrance.

Cheng Xinran got out of the driver's seat, carrying a small bag.

A head of light chestnut hair, slightly curled into an attractive arc. She was dressed in a very fashionable and trendy manner, with delicate makeup, giving her the appearance of a playful girl next door.

The passenger door opened, and a pair of fair and slender legs stepped out of the car.

Although Su Xiyan was wearing her school uniform,

her icy temperament and glacial aura made it impossible to look directly at her. Especially her face, so beautiful and captivating,

that one could not help but be mesmerized with just one glance.

Cheng Xinran handed the car keys to the valet and asked them to park it. Then, intimately linking arms with Su Xiyan, the two of them walked into the restaurant together.

Truly a high-end restaurant, the decor and furnishings were exquisite. Even the menu had its own unique flair.

Every dish looked incredibly enticing.

Cheng Xinran, being a bona fide foodie, wished she could try every delicious delicacy in the restaurant.

After ordering the food, Su Xiyan cut to the chase and asked, "You treated me to the restaurant you wanted to eat at, so what about what I wanted?"
