Perhaps because there were too many people coming to take the Fengqi College entrance examination recently, all the inns were full. Shen Mian and Pei Ye searched for a long time before they found an inn.

"Two upper rooms please!"

"Okay, sir, a total of three thousand taels!"

When Pei Ye heard the price, his pupils suddenly contracted and he subconsciously pulled at the corner of Shen Mian's clothes.

So expensive...

A steamed bun only costs two copper coins.

Shen Mian gave him a reassuring look and took out the Purple Crystal Card, feeling a little painful. The housing price had risen too horribly. Just staying for two nights cost three thousand taels.

Just as she was about to pay, a familiar voice came: "Boss, give me two rooms!"

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "My lady, the last two upper rooms have been reserved by these two people. There is no room available in our shop now."

She turned around and saw the pretty and coquettish girl in red, with a look of disappointment between her brows: "Ah..."

Shen Mian was shocked. It turned out to be Miss Fang Yunjin, the eighteenth male favorite!

Next to her stood a handsome man in blue, with his hair tied up with a jade crown and a gentle temperament. Who else could it be but Li Rukun?

Noticing Shen Mian's gaze, Li Rukun frowned slightly and moved sideways to block Shen Mian's sight.

"This girl..."

The next second, he was pushed away by Fang Yunjin. Fang Yunjin had just opened her mouth to say four words when she saw Shen Mian's face. She froze where she was and stopped talking, staring at her.

She opened her mouth slightly and thought to herself: How could there be such a beautiful girl in the world?

Bright and flamboyant, exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful, even though she looks still young and hasn't fully grown up yet, her demeanor and the carefree look between her brows are already extraordinary.

Her gaze was too hot, even a thick-skinned person like Shen Mian could not stand it. Pei Ye walked up to Shen Mian with a cold face and blocked her: "What's the matter?"

Her eyes lit up again. This boy was also very handsome! He was more handsome than the fifteen she had collected before! Sure enough, good-looking people always appear together!

But when Pei Ye said this, she also reacted and grinned unconsciously: "Miss, can you discuss with us to give us a room? We will pay for your room. We have been looking for two hours, and other inns are full. It's getting dark, and we can't find another inn."

Shen Mian reacted: "It's not impossible, but it's not very convenient for my brother and I to live in the same room, and we don't lack the money."

As she said this, Pei Ye silently pulled her sleeve. She looked at him with a puzzled expression and indicated with her eyes: What's wrong?

Pei Ye leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister, the room fee is so expensive, please agree to her, okay?"

Shen Mian replied softly: "Your sister has the money, it's not like we can't afford it."

Pei Ye pursed his lips and continued to insist: "But it's too expensive, and she said she would pay for us, and..."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, so low that Shen Mian could hardly hear it, but she still heard Pei Ye's words clearly: "And I want to stay with you..."

Although they had only known each other for a few days, this guy had changed from a gloomy child covered in thorns to a well-behaved brother who clung to her. Shen Mian also knew that he was extremely insecure. He had only left for a while in the morning to hunt a rabbit, and when he came back to see him, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"Since you want, I'll listen to you." Shen Mian said, and then said to Fang Yunjin, "We agree, Miss Fang, thank you for paying for the room for us."

Fang Yunjin smiled happily when she heard this: "I should be the one to thank you... Do you know me?"

She stopped talking halfway and looked at Shen Mian with confusion and surprise.

Li Rukun held Fang Yunjin's hand and tightened it unconsciously. He had a gentle smile on his face, but there was some inquiry in his eyes.

Shen Mian heard her mumbling: "It shouldn't be like this. How could I not have an impression of such a beautiful person?"

Shen Mian smiled and said, "I went to Mouding City before and saw him from afar. I heard about him a little bit."

Fang Yunjin blushed. If this beautiful girl had been to Mouding City, she might have heard about some of her embarrassing stories. After all, she had done a lot of great things in Mouding City. When she thought that Shen Mian already knew about it, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Li Rukun looked at her reaction with some amusement, and said to Shen Mian: "It is really fate, may I know what your name is, young lady?"

Pei Ye suddenly pulled Shen Mian's sleeve and said anxiously, "Sister, let's go up and look at the house. You also said you would take me out for a walk later."

"Okay." Shen Mian responded and said to the two, "My name is Shen Mian. You two, go ahead."

Seeing Pei Ye following Shen Mian upstairs closely, Fang Yunjin smiled and said, "They have a really good relationship as siblings."

"Yes." Li Rukun responded in a reserved tone, and then looked at Fang Yunjin tenderly, "Ours is also very good."

"Hmph." Fang Yunjin's ears turned red and she quickly let go of his hand to pay. Li Rukun's eyes followed her gently, and he didn't even notice the shopkeeper's jealous look.

The shopkeeper's eyes moved between the two of them: Hey, there are quite a few gigolos here tonight!
