Chapter 242: Zhao Xiaodao

This made Yu Youwei instantly furious; she turned around, gave him a hard pat, curled her lip, and complained, "Why are you stinky men all the same?"

"Same how?"

Shen Yan gave two dry coughs, putting on a bewildered look.

"Don't think I didn't notice, you were just leering at Yue'er's legs, your eyeballs almost popped out." Yu Youwei puffed out her cheeks, very angry.

A flash of smugness crossed Wu Yueer's eyes; with legs like hers—the kind men often call 'legs to last a lifetime'—wasn't it normal for Shen Yan to like them?

Just a moment ago, Shen Yan had even said that silk stockings weren't as seductive as black ones, and that they could try out various styles like fishnets, thigh-highs, and grey stockings.

She spoke up to explain for Shen Yan: "Youwei, don't be so jumpy. Shen Yan just thought this outfit looked good and was asking what style it was, planning to buy it as a gift for An Qi."

"Exactly, Youwei, keep in mind that we're just ordinary friends; don't always try to control me."

Honestly, Shen Yan felt especially lucky that Yu Youwei hadn't accepted his confession back then; with a girlfriend who had such strong possessiveness, life was destined to be anything but peaceful.

Hearing this, Yu Youwei opened her mouth in frustration, not knowing what else to say. She hadn't thought that much at all; she was just very annoyed by their intimate posture.

She had wanted to interrupt subconsciously.

Looking back now, her behavior was indeed inappropriate. She and Shen Yan were just ordinary friends; what right did she have to manage this and that?

Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Wu Yueer hurriedly changed the subject: "Shen Yan, between An Qi's legs and mine, whose do you think look better?"

"That would be... An Qi's legs, of course." Shen Yan gave his answer without a second thought.

Wu Yueer pouted unhappily, "You're speaking against your conscience. My legs are long and slender, white as jade, with clear contours—how are they worse than hers?"

Shen Yan made a sound of disgust and said she was like Wang Po selling melons—bragging about her own wares. Wu Yueer rolled her eyes at him in a way that was still quite pretty.

Dog of a man!

He acts one way in front of people and another behind their backs; would it kill him to compliment her to her face?

The way the two were bickering made Chen Shanni, standing to the side, find it quite funny. She really couldn't understand how people of the opposite sex could be so close.

At this moment, Shen Yan noticed a round-faced girl dressed in simple clothing walking toward the group of four, and his body froze.

Isn't this the top-tier superstar Zhao Xiaodao!

Right, during this period, Zhao Xiaodao was still an extra and hadn't yet experienced the treacherous waves of the entertainment industry. That youthful, round face was truly adorable, making one want to reach out and pinch it.

Especially those big, watery eyes, which were like two brilliant gemstones, sparkling with lively light.

Shen Yan couldn't help but take a few extra looks. Zhao Xiaodao seemed to sense it; she looked up and found a handsome man staring at her, his eyes smiling as if he were looking at some novel prey.

Involuntarily, a faint blush appeared on Zhao Xiaodao's face.

"Could it be that he's taken a liking to me?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaodao hurriedly averted her gaze, her pace quickening unconsciously.

However, until the two passed each other, Shen Yan didn't make a move, which made Zhao Xiaodao feel a sense of relief while also feeling inexplicably disappointed.

After all, what young girl doesn't dream of love? She just hadn't met the person who made her heart flutter yet.

As if thinking of something, she slapped her thigh hard and exclaimed, "I'm done for."

She immediately turned around and hurried back.

Sensing Shen Yan's strange gaze from just a moment ago, Wu Yueer asked with a hint of jealousy: "What, did you take a fancy to that little beauty just now?"

Shen Yan gave her a dead-fish stare and said, "What are you talking about? I was just thinking that girl is quite cute; her little face is round like a steamed bun—if I punched it, she'd probably cry for a long time."

???

The three women widened their eyes. Listen to that! Is that something a human would say?

Such a cute girl and you actually want to hit her? Are you a devil?

And this sentence was heard exactly by Zhao Xiaodao as she turned back. In an instant, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her face full of disbelief.

To think there's a guy like this—he wants to punch a girl just because she looks cute. He must have some serious illness.

And to think she had just assumed the other party was interested in her. Was that it?

Beyond annoyed, Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help but want to go up and scold him, but fearing she might get beaten up, she ultimately decided to walk around him.

A moment of patience brings peace of mind; a step back brings a wider sky.

Uh...

Watching the figure speed past him, looking lost and glancing back from time to time as if looking at some huge pervert, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

He was just joking around; who knew the person involved would hear it so clearly.

At this moment, a scene suddenly flashed through Shen Yan's mind: Zhao Xiaodao, having achieved fame and success, reveals this past incident during an interview, and the internet is in an uproar, cursing him for being such a dense, steel-hearted man.

Facing such a sweet, moving girl, how could you have the heart to lay a hand on her?

Just thinking of that scene made Shen Yan want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Looking at the cameras around them, the fortunate thing was that the video couldn't possibly be saved for that long. By the time Zhao Xiaodao achieved fame, that would be ages from now.

Seeing this, Wu Yueer couldn't help but burst into a giggle, gloating: "Look at you, you just had to joke around. Now look, you've been caught red-handed."

"That little beauty must be thinking right now, 'Oh my god! This person is such a pervert! I'm so cute, and he actually wants to hit me! How terrifying!'"

"Pfft!"

Under Wu Yueer's vivid performance, Yu Youwei and Chen Shanni, who were secretly amused, could no longer hold it in and laughed until they were doubled over on the spot.

Chen Shanni even leaned against Wu Yueer's ample chest, her delicate body trembling repeatedly.

Watching the three women laugh non-stop, Shen Yan pursed his lips awkwardly and said, "That's enough, look, there's a show over there."

"Haha, let me laugh a little longer."

After touring the Qin King Palace in the morning, the group of four arrived at another scenic spot in Hengdian in the afternoon: "Dream Valley."

Dream Valley is a theme park that focuses on displaying natural phenomena and landscapes such as volcanic eruptions and mountain floods, and it possesses various amusement facilities and performance activities.

Chen Shanni, that good girl, felt as if she had stepped into a fairytale kingdom full of fantasy the moment she entered the amusement park gates. Her bright, clear eyes sparkled as she carefully observed everything around her.

The scene before her left her in awe—thrilling rollercoasters wound and twisted like giant dragons, whistling past; colorful bumper cars collided with each other, emitting bursts of laughter...

Everything here was so fresh and interesting, making Chen Shanni's heart race and leaving her eager to try everything.

"How about we go play on that Pirate Ship together?"

The three of them had no objections, and even Yu Youwei, who had always been as timid as a mouse, plucked up her courage... and joined the ranks as if she were heroically marching to her death.

And then...

"Ah! Mom!"

"I'm not playing anymore! I want to get off!"

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

As the Pirate Ship swung back and forth with an increasingly large amplitude, Yu Youwei gradually lost control of her facial expressions, collapsing into her seat and wailing incessantly.

Shen Yan and the other two watched from the side, amused, and used their phones to record the scene.

After finally enduring until the Pirate Ship came to a stop, Yu Youwei's legs were already weak; she was shakily helped to a chair by Shen Yan, her face pale, staring blankly ahead.

She murmured to herself: "Never coming again!"

In the subsequent attractions, Yu Youwei refused to participate in any of the thrilling ones, while the three of them enjoyed one attraction after another to their hearts' content: the Ferris wheel, bumper cars, Giant Pendulum, carousel, roller coaster...

On the third day of the holiday, the group of four arrived at the "Ming and Qing Palace Garden," which is a 1:1 restoration of the Forbidden City, where "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Zhen Huan Zhuan" were both filmed.

Next was the Pingyan Dongfu Fengjingqu...

After three consecutive days, the group of four had visited all the major scenic spots in Hengdian, and finally took a group photo at the entrance of the scenic area, drawing a perfect conclusion to this trip.
