Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

The next day.

Shen Mingchao was woken up by the alarm clock on time. She stretched lazily and felt refreshed.

This was the most comfortable sleep she'd had since transmigrating into the book. The environment was comfortable, and she didn't have any nightmares.

She reached out and drew back the curtains, letting the warm sunlight illuminate the room. She stood by the window, enjoying the late summer breeze for a while, before turning and going to the bathroom.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door. Shen Mingchao thought it was Wu Xie and the others, but when he opened the door, he found it was a nurse.

"Someone asked me to bring you something."

Shen Mingchao reached out and took the pile of packaging bags, immediately thanking him, "Thank you for your help."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all," the nurse said with a smile. "They paid me a delivery fee."

Shen Mingchao gave an OK sign to indicate his understanding.

After the nurse left, the spare phone that Nen Niu Wu Fang had left behind yesterday buzzed a few times by my pillow.

When Shen Mingchao opened the message, he found it was a text message from Wu Xie.

[We've decided to have hot pot for lunch. Can you handle spicy food?]

[Yes, yes! ^o^]

Shen Mingchao was overjoyed at the sight of the words "hot pot." As the saying goes, there's nothing that a hot pot meal can't solve; if there is, then two meals will do.

After replying to Wu Xie's message, she discovered that Xie Yuchen had also sent her a message.

[Did you sleep well last night?]

She quickly typed: [Super good! The kind where I sleep soundly until dawn!]

[That's good.]

[Oh, by the way, I asked someone to bring you some new clothes. Take a look and see if you like them. If you don't, you can go shopping with your sister Xiuxiu after she arrives.]

Shen Mingchao's eyes lit up. Could he finally get to see the legendary beauty Xiuxiu?

I'm so excited.

Xie Yuchen's text messages are still popping up.

[Black Bear will also be there; he'll be driving.]

Shen Mingchao glanced at it but ignored the message; she was now curious about what the new dress looked like.

Upon opening the gold-stamped gift box, one discovers a black dress in the style of Audrey Hepburn, featuring a unique off-the-shoulder design with ruffled details. The dress has a flattering silhouette, excellent texture, and feels substantial in the hand.

Overall, it gives a feeling of elegance and sophistication.

Shen Mingchao was fascinated by the dress and sent Xie Yuchen a message from the bottom of his heart: "Master Hua, do you need another daughter?"

Xie Yuchen slowly pulled back a [?].

[Hehe, just kidding. I saw the skirt, I love it so much ヾ(●´∇｀●)ﾉ Wow~]

Xie Yuchen now understood Wu Xie's feelings from yesterday, and he replied with a smile: [If you like it, then so be it.]

Shen Mingchao replied again: [Master Hua, are you at work?]

[right.]

[Oh, no wonder you only send text messages. So you're not secretly slacking off, are you?]

Xie Yuchen glanced around. The company's shareholders were all intently watching the secretary report on the work situation, while he, sitting in the main seat, barely listened to a word.

He hadn't expected Shen Mingchao to guess so accurately. There was no point in hiding it; he directly admitted, "Yes, I was slacking off in a meeting."

[It's human nature to slack off, I understand 乁( ˙ ω˙乁)]

After sending it, Shen Mingchao sighed. She was more used to sending emojis, but unfortunately, she was currently unregistered and didn't have WeChat.

Waaah... When will WeChat return to my embrace?

After exchanging a few words, Shen Mingchao, not wanting to disturb Xie Yuchen's meeting any longer, said she was going to change her clothes.

Xie Yuchen did not reply.

After putting down her phone, Shen Mingchao ate breakfast first, then changed into a dress, stood in front of the mirror, pondered for a while, and then combed her hair into a neat and playful bun.

Feeling her neck and earlobes were bare, she put on the pearl necklace and matching pearl earrings she had worn before. The diamond pendant sparkled and looked very valuable.

Finally, I applied a simple light makeup.

After everything was finished, Shen Mingchao had just taken a sip of water when there was a knock on the door again.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Here it comes!"

Shen Mingchao quickly went to open the door.

She was immediately captivated by the stunning beauty of the woman in the cheongsam standing at the door!

The beautiful woman smiled gently and said, "You must be Mingchao. Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Huo Xiuxiu."

Shen Mingchao is indeed attracted to good-looking people, especially since Huo Xiuxiu is the first female character she has ever seen, and she feels an inexplicable urge to get closer to her.

"Hello, Sister Xiuxiu." Shen Mingchao subconsciously raised his voice, his tone sweet and cloying: "Sister, you're so beautiful."

Shen Mingchao grinned like a pervert and moved closer to Huo Xiuxiu, almost as if he wanted to say, "Beautiful sister, let's get close!"

"Ha, so young and already has two faces? Why weren't you this enthusiastic when I saw Blackie yesterday?"

The teasing male voice was quite abrupt, and Shen Mingchao temporarily shifted his gaze from the beauty to the source of the voice.

The difference is huge.

Pink and tender mochi vs. a big, dark black rat

"Tsk, what's with that expression? Are you disgusted with me?" Black Glasses pretended to be annoyed, half-jokingly.

"No way."

Shen Mingchao was very perceptive and readily offered flattery: "With his broad shoulders and narrow waist, it would cost at least 50 yuan to take a taxi from his left shoulder to his right shoulder."

"Pfft—hahaha." Huo Xiuxiu covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably, thinking to herself that Little Flower Brother was right after all; this girl's words were indeed interesting.

"Your way of praising people is quite unique," Hei Xiazi chuckled, flicking the girl's forehead with his finger. "Where did you learn to be so sweet-talking?"

Shen Mingchao tilted his head back and said, "I am exceptionally gifted."

Black Bear just laughed and didn't say anything more.

Huo Xiuxiu had a very good impression of Shen Mingchao.

She smiled gently and took Shen Mingchao's arm, saying, "Let's hurry up. Brother Xiaohua and the others have already left. We shouldn't be late."

Shen Mingchao hurriedly followed Huo Xiuxiu's steps.

Black Bear trailed behind the two, walking casually, his gaze unconsciously falling on the girl in the black dress, and he rubbed his fingers together.

I savored the lingering sensation that spread from my knuckles.

as well as......

The ghostly thing behind him trembled slightly.

Undoubtedly, the spirit behind it is afraid.

The corners of Hei Xiazi's mouth gradually widened, and a certain idea he had previously held became even more firm at this moment.

He felt that Shen Mingchao was much more lovable than the spirit behind him who was always trying to "possess" him.

Let's make this fish dish, like Jiang Taigong's.
