Chapter 691 World 226
"of course can."
Mr. and Mrs. Shen warmly invited Zhao Manrou to get in the car, but Zhao Manrou told them to go first.
Shen Ruyin opened the back door first: "Mom, you sit in the passenger seat, Xiaoman and I will sit in the back."
Ms. Shen assumed that her daughter wanted to chat with her friends, so she immediately agreed and sat down in the passenger seat.
Shen Ruyin sat in the back seat behind the driver, and Zhao Manrou followed her into the car, sitting in the back passenger seat before closing the door.
After getting into the car, she saw a fan stuck in the back of the passenger seat. She picked it up and used it to cover her face, then moved to the side to try her best to hide herself.
Shen's father and the others sat in the front and didn't notice anything amiss with Zhao Manrou's actions. Shen Ruyin, however, waited until the car had driven a short distance before deliberately asking.
"Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
"I was looking at the fan," Zhao Manrou said with an awkward smile, her gaze falling on the fan, and suddenly she couldn't smile anymore.
This fan was just an advertising fan handed out casually by a proctology hospital on the street. Besides its function of fanning, the most eye-catching thing about it is the advertisement on it.
Shen Ruyin didn't know what to say for a moment: "Do you prefer to take it back later?"
"No, I just got a little hot outside," Zhao Manrou said, fanning herself.
The next moment, she moved closer to Shen Ruyin, and the air conditioning in the car became even cooler.
No, it's not because of the air conditioner.
Qi Chengyun emerged from Zhao Manrou's pendant and sat by the window. Zhao Manrou, who could see him, had no choice but to squeeze closer to Shen Ruyin.
Qi Chengyun didn't spare the Shen family any attention, only staring at the fan in Zhao Manrou's hand before revealing a slightly amused expression: "You like this kind of fan?"
Zhao Manrou's eyes widened suddenly, but she couldn't say anything.
She couldn't possibly communicate with Qi Chengyun without any reservations in front of the Shen family.
Taking advantage of her inability to speak, Qi Chengyun raised an eyebrow: "If you like, I'll try to get you a few more?"
"However, if you have this problem, I can treat you using other methods, and I guarantee that you won't need surgery."
Zhao Manrou reached her hand to Qi Chengyun's waist, pinched a bit of flesh, and rotated it 360 degrees.
"Hiss," Qi Chengyun didn't resist, only felt helpless, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss, please have mercy?"
Zhao Manrou gave him a reproachful look before letting go, but Qi Chengyun grabbed her hand again.
If this weren't in her own car, but somewhere else, or if she were in front of the right person, Shen Ruyin would probably be beaming with a doting smile.
Although she herself is not in a relationship, she still enjoys seeing other couples being sweet and loving.
But now, it's not the right time, the right place, or the right person. Shen Ruyin watched them flirting and pursed her lips.
"Dad," Shen Ruyin called out, "Is the air conditioning a bit too strong today?"
“Yes, a little,” Shen’s mother replied first. “I feel a chill on my back, so I put on my coat.”
"Xiaoman, are you cold? Shall we turn the air conditioning up a bit?"
Zhao Manrou realized what was happening, nudged Qi Chengyun, and then replied, "Okay."
With her hands constantly writing and drawing, Qi Chengyun reluctantly returned to her pendant, and the air conditioning naturally returned to normal.
Shen's mother said to Shen's father, "We still can't set the temperature too low in the future, or we'll catch a cold."
Mr. Shen also found it strange: "The temperature was the same when we came down from the mountain, and I haven't moved at all."
Shen Ruyin suppressed her displeasure and tried to cover it up: "Maybe it's because we got off the bus to buy peaches earlier?"
"It's hotter outside, and then suddenly you come back in and turn on the air conditioning. The difference between the heat and the cold is so big that it feels extra cool."
Zhao Manrou quickly echoed this, and Shen's parents also believed it.
On the way back to the city, Zhao Manrou relaxed and felt a little tired. Shen Ruyin didn't want to talk to her, and the car was unusually quiet for a while.
Mr. Shen drove Zhao Manrou to the entrance of her residential compound and even got out of the car to give her a bag of white peaches to take with her.
"These peaches taste good. Take them back for your parents to try too."
Once Zhao Manrou was out of sight, Shen's mother asked curiously, "Yinyin, did you and Xiaoman have a fight? I didn't see you talking just now."
Shen Ruyin didn't want to tell her mother the truth, so she said, "I was probably a little carsick, and I didn't want to talk just now."
"Is it chilly up in the mountains? You've caught a bit of a cold," Shen's mother said, knowing that her daughter was prone to motion sickness when she had a cold. She turned to look at her and said, "You should have sat in the front just now. I went to sit with Xiaoman."
"I'm just a little uncomfortable, it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after I get off the bus and rest for a bit," Shen Ruyin said coquettishly. "Besides, Xiaoman is riding with us, she'll definitely tell me to ride with her."
Fortunately, in the time it took to say those few words, Mr. Shen had already driven to the destination.
Mr. Shen told his wife and daughter to get out of the car first, and then he would park in his own parking space.
Having played her part convincingly, Shen Ruyin found a safe place to squat down and calm down as soon as she got out of the car.
After parking the car, Mr. Shen came over with the remaining peaches. She stood up to show that she was no longer dizzy, and took his arm through her father's and mother's arm through her mother's. The family walked happily toward the elevator.
Back home, sitting alone in her room, Shen Ruyin let her anger rise to her face.
It seems I should keep my distance from Zhao Manrou in the future.
Even Ke Xue, who had only known her for a short time, knew that Shen Ruyin, as an "ordinary person," should not be exposed to any possible abnormal events, and that her family should leave as soon as possible.
As her friend, Zhao Manrou, who often saw Shen's parents, allowed Qi Chengyun to stay in the car for so long.
If she hadn't reminded him that it was too cold, would Zhao Manrou have continued flirting with Qi Chengyun?
Shen Ruyin herself is not afraid of yin energy, but her parents are just ordinary people, and the bracelet she carved is not omnipotent.
After staying at home for a while, the sunlight outside became even more dazzling.
"Mom and Dad, let's go to the supermarket together."
"Going to the supermarket at this hour?" Shen's mother looked outside. "The sun is too strong. Yinyin, let's go out this afternoon."
Mr. Shen also said, "Yes, let's go after sunset. We can eat out tonight. Would you like hot pot or skewers? Haven't you had haor fish in a while?"
"It's been a long time since we've had this," Shen Ruyin blinked, "So, will we be able to have it for lunch today?"
Going out for a good meal at midday?
Mr. and Mrs. Shen exchanged a glance.
"If you'd like, shall we go for lunch?"
Shen Ruyin nodded firmly: "I want to."
You have to think about it whether you want to or not; you can't avoid the sun.
