I was approached by a cat-eared girl.

"No, I have plenty of clothes."

"Let's go in and take a look. We don't have anything else to do anyway. Let's see how the clothes in the capital are different from those back home."

You can't tell from the outside, but once you go inside, you'll find that the clothing store is quite large. Spring clothes are on sale, and summer bestsellers are displayed in prominent positions.

It was raining, and there weren't many customers in the store. The sales assistants simply stood politely in front of the clothes racks, waiting for customers to ask questions, unlike the sales assistants in other clothing stores who would follow customers around and chatter incessantly as soon as they entered.

Bai Xiaoqi glanced at the tags and immediately noticed something different: each item was more expensive than the last, and there wasn't a single piece of clothing under three hundred yuan.

"How about this dress?" Chen Shuo saw a white floral chiffon dress and felt that it would look beautiful on her.

"This is too expensive." A dress costing 998 yuan was not worth it for Bai Xiaoqi. Anyone who bought it would be a fool. "You could buy many clothes online for that price."

"If you like it, we'll buy it."

"No, no, let's go. We'll go back and buy the same one online."

Bai Xiaoqi took out her phone and took a picture of the dress, then pulled Chen Shuo out of the store.

The light rain was still falling outside.

Unfortunately, the weather didn't cool down because of the rain; instead, it became even more humid. After leaving the clothing store, I looked around but there wasn't anything worth visiting, so I decided to have dinner and go straight back to the hotel to enjoy the air conditioning.

In the restaurant, two bowls of ice-cold cold noodles were served, along with shredded cucumber, braised egg, tomato, and lemon. Just looking at them made you feel refreshed, even without tasting them.

Bai Xiaoqi poked around in the bowl with her chopsticks. She even saw ice cubes in the soup. It was the first time she had ever eaten noodles like this, and she was very surprised.

They even put ice cubes in the soup noodles; no wonder it's called cold noodles.

Chen Shuo had already started slurping his food. It was his first time eating this kind of noodle. It was icy cold when he first tasted it, and the texture of the noodles was more like rice noodles than regular noodles. The taste was sweet and sour.

Chen Shuo quickly finished his bowl of cold noodles, while Bai Xiaoqi was still slowly eating his noodles. He went to the front desk to pay the bill, then sat back down to wait.

Eat slowly, no rush.

After giving a word of advice, Chen Shuo turned his gaze outside the shop and realized that the rain had stopped sometime earlier. The sky was still gloomy, but it was better that it wasn't raining. More and more vehicles and pedestrians were appearing, which looked like a light ink painting against the gloomy sky.

It has a very artistic conception.

"Which girl are you looking at?" Bai Xiaoqi got up, leaned on his shoulder, and looked outside together.

"I..." Chen Shuo was startled, then composed himself and turned to look at her. "I wasn't looking at any young ladies, I was just browsing..."

As he spoke, he reached into the tissue box on the table and pulled out a tissue. "Here, wipe your mouth."

Bai Xiaoqi took it, wiped her mouth clean, and asked with a grin, "Did I look like a normal human girl when I asked you questions just now?"

The shop owner, carrying a bowl of noodles, happened to be passing by and paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Does she look like a normal human girl?

He pretended to be calm as he handed the noodles over, then looked back at them.

A deep sense of regret flashed across his eyes.

Such a fair-skinned and delicately beautiful girl, it's a pity she's not mentally sound.

And her boyfriend, he stayed by her side through thick and thin, how touching.

I should have known better than to charge them.

Chapter 260 I am ill

After a rain, fog rolled in again at night. The thick fog lingered, and the damp air filled the air, so moist that it seemed you could wring water out of it if you grabbed it.

However, this had nothing to do with them. After finishing their meal, they went straight back to the hotel, turned the air conditioning up to 20 degrees Celsius, took a shower early, and crawled into bed.

In early summer, the hotel blankets were a bit thick, but with the air conditioning on, it wasn't hot at all; in fact, it was a bit cold when you got out of bed.

The little cat was much more comfortable to hold after its bath than usual. It smelled nice and was soft, with a warm body. Chen Shuo touched it and soon felt a surge of desire again.

"How about I share a little bit of knowledge with you?"

"What little tidbit of knowledge?"

"If you are pregnant, you won't show within the first three months. In other words, your belly won't get big and others won't be able to tell."

“…”

Bai Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. She pulled the blanket up higher and asked in a low voice, pretending not to know, "Why are you telling me this?"

"It's almost July, and you'll be turning twenty in a little over a month. Our wedding day is getting closer and closer. Why do you think I'm telling you this?"

"I think, I think..."

Bai Xiaoqi's face gradually turned red. She stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent answer. So she simply turned over, closed her eyes, and said, "Go to sleep. We're going to climb the Great Wall tomorrow."

Chen Shuo turned her body around, "Don't avoid the topic. We agreed on this beforehand. You're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi opened her eyes and glanced at him, then blushed and quickly looked away. After a moment, she stammered and asked, "...Can I renege on my debt?"

"Screw that, no way, I don't agree." Chen Shuo got anxious immediately. They had already agreed on something, and now they wanted to renege on their promise. He had waited so long, wasn't this just bullying an honest person?

"Oh..."

“…”

Seeing that she only said "oh" and then didn't say anything more, Chen Shuo waited patiently for a while before asking, "What do you mean by 'oh'? Do you agree?"

“…”

no respond.

"Say something, or I'll take it as you agreeing," Chen Shuo shook her.

"..."

Bai Xiaoqi remained silent, only biting her lip lightly, her eyes tightly closed. Chen Shuo flipped over and easily pinned both of her hands down.

Surprisingly, Xiao A Miao didn't struggle at all, and didn't even seem to refuse, which made Chen Shuo a little less confident.

"So you're agreeing?"

"No."

"Then why didn't you resist?"

"Because, because I just fell asleep, now I'm going to rebel."

"Go ahead and resist; the more you resist, the more excited I get."

"..." Bai Xiaoqi pushed him away and then kicked him, not knowing if that excited him.

Chen Shuo crawled back onto the bed from the floor, lay on his back without even covering himself with the blanket, glanced at her, then looked away. "Some people just know how to cheat. They clearly agreed to get married soon and do *that*, but now they're disagreeing. I know who that person is, but I'm not saying."

"Here, cover yourself with the blanket."

"I won't cover myself. No matter how cold the air conditioner is, it's not as cold as my heart."

"Hmph, cover it or not, it's up to me."

Bai Xiaoqi snorted, pulled the blanket over herself, and rolled over, burying herself completely under it. After a while, she suddenly spoke, "...Actually, it's not that I disagree, I... I just don't want to be here. Can we wait until we go home...?"

"What did you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again." Chen Shuo leaned closer to listen.

"I asked if we could wait until we got home."

"I didn't hear you clearly."

"I said we'd wait until we got home."

"Speak louder, I still can't hear you."

"......"

Bai Xiaoqi, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, threw off the blanket and glared at him with a cute but fierce look.

"...I heard you clearly now."

"..." Bai Xiaoqi gritted her teeth in anger. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.

Chen Shuo threw back the covers and crawled inside. "You said it yourself, you're not going to go back on your word again, are you?"

"....Won't."

"That's good." Chen Shuo was satisfied. He leaned over and kissed her, then took out his phone from beside the pillow and started tapping away.

What are you doing with my phone?

"Book plane tickets, for tomorrow morning."

"..." Bai Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, then prepared to climb out of his arms and stop sleeping with this guy.

They had only gone halfway when Chen Shuo reached out and pulled her back, holding her tightly in his arms.

Bai Xiaoqi twisted her body a couple of times but couldn't break free. Annoyed, she reached out and slapped his arm, asking as she did so, "I'm going to climb the Great Wall tomorrow, are you not taking me? Are you not taking me...?"

"I'll take you, I'll take you, okay, okay, let's not book for tomorrow, let's book for the day after tomorrow."

"I'll book for the day after tomorrow, no, I'll book for next month."

"That's too much. You can't hide forever." Chen Shuo picked up his phone again and quickly booked the plane ticket for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. "Alright, the ticket is booked. Let's go to sleep."

"No." Bai Xiaoqi started twisting her body again, preparing to have a good talk with this guy about the plane ticket issue, and just avoid him for one more day.

"Stop fooling around, go to sleep, ouch..." Chen Shuo held her tightly, but suddenly she bumped the switch, causing him to gasp and his whole body to arch like a shrimp.

"..." Bai Xiaoqi immediately calmed down, and after a while, she cautiously asked, "Are you alright?"

"...I think something might have happened." Chen Shuo's brows furrowed, his face filled with a deep sadness. "He might be crippled."

"Ah?" Bai Xiaoqi exclaimed anxiously, "What should we do? Should we...should we go to the hospital?"

"Go my ass, I'd rather die than go."

I am ill, with a secret I cannot speak of. I must find a royal physician, a private one.

Chen Shuo's expression changed several times, and he stepped back a little. "My dear consort, please don't be impatient. Please allow me some time."

"Who is your beloved concubine?" Bai Xiaoqi slapped him.

"Alright, alright, you're the Empress. I'm already like this, and you're still arguing about this. Just behave yourself."

“…”
