Shi Yan didn't hear a word of what Shen had said.
The surrounding scenery seemed to be blurred, only her face was exceptionally clear.
Shi Yan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his heart was pounding so fast that he almost couldn't breathe.
For a moment, he even wanted to put his arm around the woman's neck and, like in his dream, lean down and kiss her lips.
But just as he moved his fingers, Shen Ting's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"What's wrong with you?"
Shi Yan then came to his senses: "...I'm going to take a shower."
Shen Ting grabbed his arm, preventing him from leaving: "Eat first before taking a shower, otherwise the food will get cold."
Shi Yan had no choice but to sit down and eat with them.
During the meal, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Ting out of the corner of his eye.
Her cheeks puffed out as she ate, and her lips were glistening with oil.
His throat tightened, and he quickly shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth.
Shen Ting noticed that he only ate the rice in his bowl and hardly picked up any meat or vegetables.
Without thinking much, she put a piece of pork rib into his bowl.
"You need to eat more meat. You won't have the energy to deliver takeout if you only eat white rice."
Shi Yan paused for a moment, looked down at the piece of pork rib in the bowl, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Um."
He took a bite, chewed slowly, and said nothing more.
After finishing his meal, Shi Yan picked up his bowl and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen before hurrying to the bathroom.
Whether it was the weather or something else, he felt unusually hot these past two days.
The moment the icy water was poured over his head, he shivered, and the restlessness in his body slowly subsided.
When I came out, Shen Ting had already washed the dishes and was sitting on the sofa scrolling through her phone.
Shi Yan dried his hair, bent down to get the delivery uniform from the door, and suddenly remembered something.
"Thank you."
Shen Ting looked up, puzzled. "What?"
Shi Yan: "The puppy you gave me yesterday."
Shen Ting thought about it carefully and then remembered the first defective product she had picked out last night.
I thought it was too ugly to sell, so I just threw it on the sofa.
But it was mistakenly thought to be a gift for him?
Shen Ting scratched his head guiltily, not daring to explain too much, for fear of displeasing the future crown prince.
"I'm glad you like it, but that one doesn't look good. I'll crochet one for you next time."
Shi Yan said earnestly, "No need, that one is fine, I like it very much."

For the next few days, Shen Ting did nothing but practice problems and set up a stall.
A week later, she had already earned two thousand yuan.
Although it was far less than my savings in my previous life, at least I had some start-up capital.
Once she passes the teacher qualification exam, she will be able to officially look for a job.
Shen Ting stared at the 1,700 yuan balance on WeChat, then happily packed up and went home.
She passed by a mid-range clothing store, and the store owner suddenly called her over.
Listen to this!
A woman with curly hair was smiling and waving at her.
Shen Ting turned around and remembered that this person was one of the original owner's cronies, Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's clothing store specializes in selling high-quality counterfeit goods, reselling mass-produced clothes worth tens of yuan to suckers like the original owner at hundreds of times the price.
Just then, Zhou Yu strode over and affectionately took her arm.
"Listen, it's been so long since I've seen you! We just got some new dresses in the store, they'd be perfect for you, come in and take a look!"
Before Shen Ting could refuse, she was pulled into the store.
Zhou Yu pulled two dresses from the clothes rack, one pink and one white, the fabric so thin it was almost translucent.
"These two items were specially reserved for you. Given our relationship, I'll give you a friendly price: 16,000, how about it?"
Shen Ting's pupils dilated in shock: "How much?"
Sixteen thousand? Just for these two tattered clothes?
Zhou Yu blinked: "What's wrong? Listen to this, wasn't it always this price? This is the lowest price I'm giving you because we're best friends!"
Shen ignored her nonsense, expressionlessly took out his phone, and opened Taobao to scan for similar items.
The next second, dozens of identical items priced under 69 yuan popped up on the screen.
She held the phone up to Zhou Yu: "Explain this to me."
Zhou Yu's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
"Why are you searching for this? All of this is mass-produced junk. How can it compare to my affordable luxury? Look at the fabric of my products..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Ting interrupted with a cold laugh: "Would you dare wear this material yourself? These two dresses of yours are so thin they're like a plastic bag when stacked together. People will think I'm going to run around naked if I go out!"
"And the lingering smell on your clothes... You made a profit of 59 out of 69, didn't I?"
Zhou Yu, somewhat embarrassed and angry that she had been exposed, retorted, "Buy it or don't, it's up to you! I only showed you the new products because I consider you a friend!"
"Friends?" Shen Ting said coldly. "You're more likely treating me like a sucker. Don't try to take advantage of me again."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Zhou Yu muttered through gritted teeth behind her, "What's wrong with this woman now... Is she short of money lately?"
But then she thought about it again: her boyfriend works hard delivering food every day, and all the money he earns goes to her.
No, it's hard to find a pure sucker like her; I'll have to fool her a bit more.
*
Shen then went to the clothing wholesale market and bought several cheap and comfortable clothes.
When she was about to pay, she remembered Shi Yan's pilling T-shirts and bought him a few sets as well.
After returning home from shopping, Shi Yan had just put on his apron.
Hearing the door open, he turned around and asked, "Paid! What do you want to eat today?"
Shen Ting, thinking of the money she had earned, exclaimed excitedly, "Barbecue!"
Shi Yan was taken aback for a moment: "I don't know how to make barbecue."
Shen Ting rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Then let's find a barbecue stall and go out to eat."
Shi Yan was even more surprised now.
She used to always complain that roadside stalls were dirty and cheap, and she would even go to a high-end restaurant for a late-night snack.
But he didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head, took off his apron, and whispered "okay."
After going downstairs, Shi Yan glanced at his pink electric scooter and led her out of the residential area.
Shen Ting promptly called out to him, "Why aren't you riding your bike?"
Shi Yan paused for a moment: "Didn't you want to take a taxi?"
"Why take a taxi for a barbecue?" Shen Ting shook his head. "Let's ride our bikes."
Shi Yan didn't speak again, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
He rode his bike, and Shen Ting sat on the back of him.
The tram swayed slightly as it started moving, and Shen Ting instinctively reached out to support the waist of the man in front of her.
Even through the thin T-shirt, Shen Ting's body temperature could be clearly felt.
His back stiffened abruptly, his fingers tightened around the handlebars, and he caught his breath.
He rode for a while before he could barely find his voice again.
"I told the landlord I wouldn't be renewing the lease next month."
"I'll take some time these next few days to look at other neighborhoods, or do you have any properties you like?"
Shen Ting thought for a moment: "How much is your salary now?"
Their salary determines the type of neighborhood they can live in.
