Chapter 222 Local Specialties

"Brother, don't you have a concert tomorrow night?" Chen Jiale glanced at his brother and asked timidly.

Chen Jiaxi glanced at him, but didn't blame him; she simply responded.

He is indeed having a concert in City C tomorrow night, and he still has to rehearse tomorrow.

It's already 11 p.m., and if I rush back, I probably won't get much rest before having to work again.

Moreover, it's not just him; Lu Yan has to go to discuss cooperation tomorrow, Lin Yanshu has class tomorrow morning, and Qin Chuhuai has to play in the Spring Tournament at 3 PM.

Shen Ruoyun then realized that these people had all come at the last minute.

Are you all going home tonight?

"Okay, I'll go back later." Chen Jiaxi looked at Shen Ruoyun and withdrew her outstretched hand.

The others nodded at him as well.

“Brother…” Ruan Huai lowered his head and carefully moved to Lu Yan’s side, his voice barely audible.

Lu Yan didn't even look at him, and said coldly, "You'll be coming back with me later."

"No way, I haven't had enough fun yet!" Ruan Huai immediately shouted in protest upon hearing Lu Yan's words.

Lu Yan frowned, about to lash out, when Shen Ruoyun quickly came to his aid.

"Ah Yan, it's rare for him to come out and relax, so let him play a little longer."

Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun speak, Lu Yan did not respond, which can be considered as tacit consent.

"What time is your flight? Why don't you go upstairs and rest for a bit first?"

The group announced their flight times and discovered that they all needed to leave around 2 or 3 pm.

We asked the hotel reception to book a few more rooms for them to rest, but because it's close to the scenic area, there were no extra rooms available.

"Then I'll go ask if any nearby hotels have any rooms?"

At this moment, Lin Yanshu, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "We can just sit in the hall for a while, it won't be long anyway."

They were actually just worried about Shen Ruoyun, so they came to check on him. Now that they saw he was alright, they didn't really want to cause any trouble.

"How can this be!" Let alone whether they agree or not, Shen Ruoyun alone would not agree.

"Well then, why don't you all go to my room and rest first? I booked a suite, and it's spacious enough."

After hearing Shen Ruoyun's suggestion, everyone exchanged glances and followed him into the room.

The room was decorated in warm colors and looked quite cozy. The group sat down on the sofa.

Shen Ruoyun ordered some set meals, and judging from their appearance, they probably hadn't eaten properly.

Soon after, the hotel staff brought up the food.

Shen Ruoyun tidied the table, turned around and called out, "Come and have something to eat."

Busy catching their flight, and a bit hungry, everyone sat down together to eat without being coy.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the faint sound of chewing.

Shen Ruoyun took a few fresh coconuts from the refrigerator, skillfully opened the shells with a knife, inserted straws, and distributed them to everyone.

Shen Ruoyun was also a little tired, so she took her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

When he came out, the group of people who had finished eating were already starting to doze off.

She glanced at the time and realized she could sleep a little longer, so she went over and patted Qin Chuhuai, who was lying on the bay window.

"Go to bed, it's cold here." Qin Chuhuai mumbled a sleepy reply, rubbed his face against his palm, and dragged himself onto the bed.

"And you, go to bed too. I'll get you another blanket." He patted Chen Jiaxi on the back of the head, and she almost fell to the ground.

I can't worry about that now, I'm already exhausted from rehearsals.

I couldn't sleep on the plane because I had something on my mind, but now that I'm relaxed, I'm so sleepy that I don't even recognize my parents.

After climbing into bed from the other side, Shen Ruoyun tucked the blankets around them.

Separated by the Chu River and Han Border, it seems they even dislike each other when sleeping.

Lu Yan was curled up on the sofa, with dark circles under his eyes, probably from working overtime a lot lately.

Shen Ruoyun bent down to pick up the cushion next to her and gently lifted his head with her hand.

I carefully tucked the pillow under his head so he would be more comfortable sleeping that way, and then turned around to get a blanket to cover him up.

Lin Yanshu leaned against the corner of the sofa, his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.

Shen Ruoyun walked slowly towards him and gently took off his glasses.

Sensing the movement, Lin Yanshu subconsciously opened his eyes. Although everything was blurry, he could still vaguely make out Shen Ruoyun's outline.

He looked a little stunned for a moment, then smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Shen Ruoyun sat down next to him. "How could that be? I'm so happy you came to see me."

"But none of you have time, otherwise you could have come with me to explore the area; it's quite fun here."

Lin Yanshu listened intently to Shen Ruoyun's words with his head down, occasionally offering a few words of response.

After a while, Shen Ruoyun noticed that the other person was not speaking. She turned her head and saw that the other person seemed to have fallen asleep.

Shen Ruoyun found it a bit amusing, so she got up, squatted down in front of him, and looked up to observe him sleeping.

It has to be said that Lin Yanshu is really something else; even his sleeping habits are just like him—extremely disciplined.

She raised her hand and nudged Lin Yanshu's shoulder, "Brother Yanshu?"

Lin Yanshu woke up and glanced at Lu Yan beside him.

Shen Ruoyun grinned at him, "You can lean on me to sleep, or you might fall and die."

Lin Yanshu: "..."

Shen Ruoyun wasn't very sleepy, and since she didn't have to go to work, she didn't need to go to bed so early.

Feeling a bit bored, he took out his phone and started playing "Catch the Goose," raising his hand to support Lin Yanshu's chin so he could lean on his shoulder.

Not long after, the alarm clock rang, and Shen Ruoyun got up to wake everyone up.

Lu Yan rubbed his eyes and saw that Ruan Huai was still sleeping soundly, so he didn't disturb him anymore.

Shen Ruoyun called a car for them and prepared to head to the airport, then saw them off at the door.

"Take care and rest on the plane. Send a message in the group chat when we arrive." Shen Ruoyun handed Qin Chuhuai her coat and told him to put it on.

Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun's instructions, everyone nodded in unison.

"Oh, by the way, this is a local specialty that I asked my assistant to buy for me. You can take it home and eat it."

As he spoke, he took out two large strips of pre-packaged cured meat from the side and gave them to each person.

"What is this?" Qin Chuhuai had eaten cured meat when he was a child, but he had never seen a whole piece before, and his face was full of surprise.

"This is cured pork; you can stir-fry it with garlic sprouts when you get home."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuhuai immediately understood, "So this is what old cured meat is!"

Lu Yan and Lin Yanshu: "...", it seems they were being subtly mocked.

"And this is a seasonal vegetable here, called 'stinky vegetable,' which is delicious when mixed with eggs."

"But it doesn't smell particularly good, so if you don't like it, don't eat it." After saying that, he handed out a small bag of stinky vegetables to everyone and started muttering to himself.
