Chapter 505: Boiling the Frog in Warm Water

~7 min read 1,349 words

Sure enough, Wu Yue'er just gave Shen Yan a coquettish, flirtatious glance and said in a dainty voice, "In front of Brother Shen, I'm just a sweet girl from the Northeast who can't even open a bottle cap."

Ugh!

The others couldn't help but shudder, goosebumps rising all over their bodies.

Shen Yan gave a hearty laugh, "Haha! This sweet girl is indeed sweet and delicious."

???

Yin Yezi's forehead was full of question marks; she couldn't understand the rapport between these two at all.

Before long, Hao Anqi, with her natural, fox-like allure, appeared at the milk tea shop; the gathering of beauties added a splash of brilliant color to the store.

Whether they were boys or girls entering the shop, they all cast envious gazes.

Many people lingered after buying their milk tea, just to admire this rare sight for a while longer.

"Which one of you is Shanni? How come you look exactly the same?"

Hao Anqi scanned the pair of twin sisters in front of her, her fox-like eyes overflowing with amazement.

Even though she had seen videos of the sisters online, seeing them in person was a completely different matter, not to mention that the sisters' hair colors and outfits were different this morning, which was far less shocking than this scene.

Chen Shanni smiled sweetly and opened her right hand toward Yin Yezi beside her: "An Qi, let me introduce you. This is my younger sister; you can call her Yezi.

Yezi, this is my good friend, Hao Anqi. You can just call her An Qi."

Yin Yezi nodded at Hao Anqi as a greeting, then looked at Chen Shanni: "Sis, how come your friends are all more beautiful than the last?"

She wasn't flattering the women, but expressing a heartfelt exclamation.

She had thought Wu Yue'er was already stunning enough—the most beautiful girl she had ever seen—and she had just met Luo Qiqi, who was as fresh as the wind and as sweet as honey.

Now, another bewitching and alluring Hao Anqi had appeared, her beauty rivaling Wu Yue'er's, and her figure was explosive; the ample assets on her chest made many girls feel inferior.

Standing with them, Yin Yezi felt immense pressure.

The women smiled shallowly upon hearing this, clearly very pleased by it.

Luo Qiqi knew that it couldn't be a simple coincidence that these people were all gathered here at the same time, so she asked, "Do you have any activities later?"

Before the women could speak, Shen Yan took the lead: "We're planning to go eat first, then go go-karting. If you're free, you can come along."

"Okay! Okay!" Luo Qiqi agreed without hesitation, as if afraid something might change.

At the same time, she was mentally giving Shen Yan a huge thumbs-up.

At least this playboy still had a conscience and didn't leave her behind.

Chen Shanni and the other two women exchanged glances, conveying a silent message: under normal circumstances, someone as lazy and sluggish as Shen Yan would never proactively invite someone to join them.

So... did this guy really hook up with Luo Qiqi?

None of the three women said anything more, intending to observe the situation first.

This was exactly Shen Yan's goal—boiling the frog in warm water.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at a Michelin Restaurant by West Lake. Just as they sat down in the private room, Shen Yan heard his phone go "Ding-dong."

He opened it to take a look.

It was a message from Fan Bingbing.

"National Husband, this young lady pays her respects (playful) (playful)"

Shen Yan: "You flatter me! You flatter me!"

"Hehe! It's a pity you don't work in the entertainment industry with such a thick skin."

"Just kidding! In the future, if I stomp my foot, the entertainment industry will tremble."

"Bragging (pout)"

After some simple pleasantries, Fan Bingbing finally stated the purpose of looking for Shen Yan: "Xu Zheng told me that we'll be recording Happy Camp in a while to prepare for the movie's promotion. Do you think I should agree?"

Shen Yan: "Depends on your schedule. At most, you're just a small cameo; the audience is watching for your face, so it makes no difference whether you promote it or not."

Fan Bingbing: "It's because you said this movie would be a hit, and I was thinking of riding the wave of popularity."

"Then go. I'll say it again: Tai Jiong will likely break the box office record."

Fan Bingbing: "OK! Then I'll listen to the National Husband (playful)"

"By the way, I heard from Xu Zheng that you're good friends with the Wanda scion, Wang Sicong?"

Shen Yan: "Yeah, we have a pretty good relationship."

While the two were chatting, the conversation in the private room was also in full swing.

Chen Shanni, who was full of interest in the colorful world, asked: "What are your plans for National Day? Do you want to find a place to travel together?"

"Okay! Okay!" Hao Anqi's eyes lit up, and she answered very readily.

Wu Yue'er chimed in: "Where to? Count me in!"

Luo Qiqi: "I want to go too, Shanni, don't leave me out."

The most unhappy one was Yin Yezi.

Who told her to agree early on to spend National Day in Shanghai to accompany her newly reunited parents?

Yin Yezi's eyes rolled, and she subconsciously wanted to escape: "Sis, I want to go too."

Chen Shanni waved her hand, directly puncturing her fantasy: "You can't go. Mom and Dad are waiting for you to come back with bated breath."

"Oh!" Yin Yezi replied miserably.

Honestly, she had grown up without knowing what it was like to travel; she hadn't even left Hangzhou.

Then the women discussed where to go for fun; some said to go to Inner Mongolia to see the grasslands, some said Guilin's landscape was the best under heaven, and others suggested going to Caiyun Zhinan to take a look.

Finally, the women all looked at Shen Yan, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Seeing him sending messages, Hao Anqi asked: "What are your plans for National Day? Come travel with us."

"I should be free on National Day. I'll take you all to visit Beijing then," Shen Yan said.

"Beijing is good, I agree," Chen Shanni was the first to raise her hand in support.

"+1"

"+1"

To travel across the Divine Land, one must go to Beijing.

The Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven... finally, she could witness these long-renowned sights with her own eyes.

Shen Yan's proposal was unanimously approved.

Yin Yezi, who lingered outside the circle, was so envious her eyes turned red; she also wanted to go to Beijing so badly.

How could she break into it!

Unable to join in, Yin Yezi had no choice but to boredly scroll through her phone; she had previously heard the others say that Shen Yan had become famous online, and the public had even given him the title of "National Husband."

She wondered what that was all about.

She opened Weibo.

Flipping through it casually, she found the relevant video, which clearly recorded the scene that happened in the morning, and also included relevant information about Shen Yan.

As time passed, shock, admiration, jealousy... all sorts of incredibly vivid expressions played out on Yin Yezi's face, as if she were a Master of Sichuan opera face-changing.

Only at this very moment did Yin Yezi understand Shen Yan's great achievements.

He was actually the founder of Kuaida Delivery.

Although she didn't pay much attention to the internet, Yin Yezi still knew about Kuaida Delivery, which had swept through Hangzhou in recent months.

According to the introduction, Kuaida Delivery covered all universities in the country, had tens of millions of users, and was still expanding its scale without pause; the potential value of such an enterprise was immeasurable.

He was truly amazing!

While still in school, he had already carved out his own world in society.

No wonder so many people at school knew him, even the counselor gave him face.
