Chapter 90: Magical Magic

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Shen Siyuan with some strangeness.

"What are you muttering to yourself about?"

If she hadn't seen that Shen Siyuan wasn't wearing wireless earphones on his ears, she would have thought he was on the phone.

"Nothing, I'm talking to someone," Shen Siyuan said.

"Who?" Ruan Hongzhuang looked left and right, even more puzzled.

"You don't know, do you? I'm a magician. I can communicate with gods and ghosts. I was just chatting with a ghost mother," Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at him sideways, speechless, obviously completely disbelieving of Shen Siyuan's words.

Chen Haiyan, however, believed a few parts, feeling what he said might possibly be true.

"You can't?" Shen Siyuan asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for her answer, he suddenly reached his hand to Ruan Hongzhuang's ear.

Ruan Hongzhuang first instinctively wanted to dodge, but immediately realized, her cheeks turning slightly red, and stood still.

Ruan Hongzhuang had a head of ear-length short hair, appearing fresh and capable, but at this time the weather was hot, her temples slightly damp with sweat, and a few messy hairs covered her ears.

Shen Siyuan reached out to brush them for her, then tucked them behind her ear, and then withdrew his palm.

But Ruan Hongzhuang, still blushing, widened her eyes, feeling it was simply incredible.

Because Shen Siyuan was holding a rose in his hand; the rose was not only tender and dripping with color, but even had a few water droplets on it.

"How is this possible?" Ruan Hongzhuang said in disbelief.

Shen Siyuan was wearing a round-neck sleeveless vest; there was simply nowhere to hide anything, and this wasn't like those coins that could be hidden in the palm.

This was a rose, a rose that still had water droplets on it.

"For you." Shen Siyuan handed the rose to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang took it foolishly; at this moment she felt her brain wasn't enough.

She lowered her head to sniff; the fragrant scent, the reality of her nose tip touching the petals, all told her that everything was so real.

"How did you conjure it?"

Ruan Hongzhuang, coming back to her senses, couldn't help but press for an answer.

Chen Haiyan was also very curious; she had been watching from the side the whole time and still couldn't see how Shen Siyuan conjured a rose.

"I said it, didn't I? I am a magician. Isn't this a piece of cake?"

Speaking thus, Shen Siyuan reached his hand directly in front of Ruan Hongzhuang again, snapped his fingers, and then a rose appeared out of thin air.

"Wow~"

Ruan Hongzhuang couldn't help but exclaim, then reached out somewhat impatiently to take it.

"You are truly amazing. How did you do it? So magical..." Ruan Hongzhuang was so excited she was almost incoherent.

Shen Siyuan smiled, still not answering this question, but said: "Wait here for me. I'll go buy a bottle of water."

Ruan Hongzhuang nodded obediently; at this moment her attention was entirely on the two roses in her hand, wanting to find if there was any mechanism.

Shen Siyuan turned around and signaled Chen Haiyan to follow with his eyes.

Shen Siyuan turned his back, walked forward, and with a thought, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared in his palm; then he extended his finger to form a hand seal.

Before Chen Haiyan could react, she was sucked into the 【Ten Thousand Souls Banner】 without resistance.

"Boss, give me a bottle of mineral water, and open a coconut for me." Shen Siyuan walked toward the small shop nearby.

The boss first handed Shen Siyuan a bottle of mineral water, but the coconut would have to wait a moment; the machine would open it on the spot.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan formed a hand seal again with his fingertip, and Chen Haiyan, who had been sucked into the 【Ten Thousand Souls Banner】, was released again.

However, at this time, the many questions in her heart had already been answered; she simply bowed slightly to Shen Siyuan, then turned and walked toward her son.

A smile played on her lips, and her steps were incredibly light.

"Do you want mineral water or coconut?"

"Coconut."

Shen Siyuan handed the coconut in his hand over, while taking the rose from her hand.

This kind of green-skinned coconut must be held with both hands; holding the rose was inconvenient.

"Go sit and rest in that pavilion over there for a while," Shen Siyuan said.

The two were very lucky; when they arrived at the pavilion, a family had just left, giving them a place to sit.

Coconut water actually has no color, just like clear water; many friends from the inland still think coconut water is milky white, but actually it is not.

Moreover, it tastes bland and flavorless, far less sweet than canned coconut juice, but it is very refreshing, carrying a slight plant fragrance, a bit like not-so-sweet sugarcane juice.

The water contained in one coconut is greater than the content of a single bottle of water; if one person drinks it all at once, they will absolutely drink until their belly swells.

So after Ruan Hongzhuang drank a few sips, she couldn't drink anymore; as a result, such a big coconut became a burden instead.

"I can't drink anymore. Do you want to drink it?"

So Ruan Hongzhuang turned and asked Shen Siyuan, hoping he could help solve it.

"Give it to me."

Shen Siyuan didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take it.

"Go ask the boss for a straw."

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out to pull out the straw she had just used.

"It doesn't matter; I don't mind you being dirty," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang's action stopped in mid-air; her cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked at Shen Siyuan with somewhat moist eyes.

"What, you're unwilling?"

"N-no... it's not... as long as you don't mind," Ruan Hongzhuang said somewhat embarrassedly.

Shen Siyuan directly bit onto the straw; a faint peach flavor still remained on the straw.

Shen Siyuan looked at Ruan Hongzhuang's red lips.

"Is this the scent of her lipstick?"

Ruan Hongzhuang seemed to guess Shen Siyuan's thoughts and turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed.

However, she soon turned back, picked up the rose Shen Siyuan had placed aside, and sniffed it.

"It always feels so magical. Did you prepare all of these in advance?"

Shen Siyuan nodded. "I originally planned to give them to you when I sent you home tonight."

Shen Siyuan unlocked the first layer of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's storage space; in fact, the greatest gain was not the Nether Fireflies, but the storage space itself.

Because he knew he had a date today, he had bought these flowers in advance and stored them in the storage space, which kept the roses fresh and even left water droplets on them from the spray at the flower shop.

"No one is here now; tell me secretly, how did you conjure them?"

Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly leaned her head close and asked in a low voice; they were so close that Shen Siyuan could even feel her breath, which carried a faint fragrance.

"This is a secret; I can't tell you," Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly leaned her head close and lightly pecked Shen Siyuan's cheek; it was a touch that vanished instantly, and Shen Siyuan hadn't even reacted.

Then, with a flushed face and lowered brows, she dared not look at Shen Siyuan and said, "Now can you tell me?"

"No."

"I even kissed you," Ruan Hongzhuang said, lifting her head with clear dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't matter; I'll return it to you."

Having spoken, Shen Siyuan, not waiting for her reaction, also quickly touched her cheek lightly.

This time, Ruan Hongzhuang's cheeks turned even redder.

"I... is us doing this a bit too fast?"

Given Ruan Hongzhuang's personality, she now felt extremely shy.

"You kissed me first," Shen Siyuan said.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang bit her lower lip lightly, lifted her head, and looked at Shen Siyuan; her bright eyes were filled with glistening moisture.

"Then you must take responsibility for me."

"Eh?"

Shen Siyuan felt as though he had been tricked.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Haiyan was following behind her son, walking down together.

Although she now very much wanted to reveal her form and meet her son, with people coming and going on the mountain, she feared it would cause a bad impression.
