Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Amazing Boyfriend

"What... what exactly is going on? What exactly is going on?"

Ruan Hongzhuang felt her worldview being challenged as she watched the tissue spinning on the tip of Shen Siyuan’s finger.

As for the handkerchief-twirling in Errenzhuan (a kind of traditional Chinese double act), it needs a somewhat substantial handkerchief to be spun, but this kind of disposable napkin is so light that it theoretically couldn’t be spun at all.

"I told you, I’m a Magician."

Shen Siyuan assertively pulled her palm over and then pressed his palm against hers.

Ruan Hongzhuang hadn’t even had time to be puzzled when she suddenly felt something appear in her palm.

Looking down, she saw a fresh and dewy rose appear in her palm, and this time Shen Siyuan hadn’t even snapped his fingers—it just appeared out of nowhere.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s eyes bulged roundly as she glanced at the rose in her palm and then looked up at Shen Siyuan’s short-sleeved shirt, then back down at his pants, as if wondering where he had been hiding the rose all this time...

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but pinch her cheek gently.

His fingertips were soft, delicate, smooth, and felt very good.

But at this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t care about these at all, she asked full of curiosity, "How did you make it appear?"

"Watch carefully this time, okay?"

Ruan Hongzhuang quickly nodded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Shen Siyuan once again covered her hand with his, palm to palm, the rose caught between their palms.

"Pay attention now," Shen Siyuan reminded.

"Okay, I’m watching, do it quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, the rose in their palms vanished into thin air.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s mouth fell open, her face full of disbelief.

She pulled her hand back and carefully checked her palm, then pulled Shen Siyuan’s palm over to search through it. In the end, still not giving up, she reached out and fumbled over Shen Siyuan’s body.

She didn’t find the rose but did end up touching Shen Siyuan’s abs, hard as iron, and his thick and powerful glutes. Then she came to her senses, and her face turned red first...

"Did you find it?" Shen Siyuan teased with a smile.

It was the height of summer, with scant clothing—there really was no place to hide.

Ruan Hongzhuang quickly shook her head, feeling somewhat guilty and flustered, but her eyes couldn’t help but drift over Shen Siyuan, wondering what he would look like if he took off his clothes.

Shen Siyuan reached out his hand again, this time without him initiating, Ruan Hongzhuang actively extended her hand, pressing palm to palm.

The rose reappeared out of thin air, and not just one, two more followed, totaling three roses.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s eyes widened, watching intently, but she still couldn’t see how Shen Siyuan made them appear.

"Is this really magic?" Ruan Hongzhuang was beginning to question her life.

"Not exactly magic."

"It’s a sleight of hand magic trick, isn’t it?" Ruan Hongzhuang’s eyes lit up, desperately clinging to her worldview.

"No," Shen Siyuan shook his head.

"What I mean is, in Daxia we don’t really have what you call magic, you can think of it as a Spell."

"Spell?"

Ruan Hongzhuang lowered her head to smell the roses in her hand, feeling as if the whole world had become unreal.

"Let’s go," Shen Siyuan said, pulling her hand and continuing forward.

"Where to?"

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang, whose brain was a bit overwhelmed, inquired instinctively.

"Of course, to see the performance—it’s about to start," Shen Siyuan said.

"Oh~"

Ruan Hongzhuang seemed exceptionally well-behaved, holding the rose and following behind him.

-----------------

The performance Jiang Tingyu was talking about was actually a mermaid show, but not just one mermaid—there were four of them, including a dolphin.

The four danced gracefully in the water, and in addition, there were interactive segments with the dolphin.

The show was actually quite good, at least the four mermaids were pretty, and when a flock of colorful fish swirled around them, it really felt like a fairy dance.

Jiang Tingyu once again noticed Shen Siyuan in the crowd, and also noticed Ruan Hongzhuang holding the rose by his side.

In fact, on Friday, Lin Manzhi told her that Shen Siyuan had gone on a blind date again, and he had met a girl and was planning to try to date her.

Hearing this, Jiang Tingyu felt just a slight disappointment. After all, since she took the initiative to contact Shen Siyuan the previous week, he hadn’t contacted her again. From initial anticipation to eventual disappointment, she gradually let go of some of her thoughts.

But seeing Shen Siyuan still came to watch her perform today, she was still very happy.

However, when she saw the woman beside him, her mood soured, especially since the woman was prettier and had a better temperament than her.

This made her feel somewhat disgruntled with Shen Siyuan.

Was he showing off to her? What is with men being so petty? And he’s even giving the other woman roses, what’s that supposed to mean?

Although I said I don’t want to date right now, that doesn’t mean I won’t ever want to, and if you really pursued me, maybe I would have said yes.

She also felt that in just a few days of not seeing each other, Shen Siyuan seemed to have changed a lot, yet not at all.

She couldn’t put her finger on it; his appearance was the same, but he seemed more charming, more stirring.

The sudden throb of her heart made her regret not having accepted him previously.

Just then, she suddenly saw Shen Siyuan raise his arm and wave at her.

Jiang Tingyu responded subconsciously with a wave of her hand, and the audience outside the aquarium followed suit, unaware that she was waving at just one person.

"Ouch, she’s waving at you. Seems like she’s not mad," said Ruan Hongzhuang in a teasing tone.

Shen Siyuan just laughed heartily, "Oh, you’ve snapped out of it?"

"I’m still a bit in disbelief," Ruan Hongzhuang said, staring at him intently.

"It’s okay if you don’t believe, you’ll get used to it eventually. Let’s go," Shen Siyuan said while pulling her away, ready to leave.

"Eh, not watching the show anymore?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked in surprise.

"Not watching," Shen Siyuan replied.

He waved a hand behind him, and Jiang Tingyu, still performing, felt an emptiness in her heart.

Some things, some people, once missed, are missed for good.

But in Ruan Hongzhuang’s heart, there was a happiness that felt like it could overflow any moment.

It seems Shen Siyuan really cares about her feelings.

The two of them left the aquarium, and it was not even four o’clock in the afternoon yet.

So they decided to take a walk in the vicinity.

The scenery near the aquarium was also beautiful—with mountains, water, and trees blend into one, like a painting.

Along the way, they came across many souvenir shops and street vendors, and they bought quite a few things.

But they were all trinkets, things like conch shells, seashells, and little coconut figures...

"Can you make all these things disappear?" Ruan Hongzhuang prodded Shen Siyuan covertly, trying to see if he really could cast spells.

"I can."

"Then hurry up and show me."

Ruan Hongzhuang opened her eyes wide, her cheeks flush with excitement.

"But I don’t want to right now," Shen Siyuan said.

"Hmph, I think you’re just a big liar and can’t cast any spells, right?" Ruan Hongzhuang challenged.

"Say what you will," Shen Siyuan said indifferently, as if nothing could bother him.

"Fine, fine, you win. What will make you do it?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, pouting.

"Beg me."

"Please," Ruan Hongzhuang said without hesitation, clasping her hands together in a pleading gesture.

"That’s not how you beg someone." Shen Siyuan pointed at his cheek.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked around, and seeing no one paying attention, she tiptoed and aimed a kiss at Shen Siyuan’s cheek.

But at that moment, Shen Siyuan suddenly turned his head, and Ruan Hongzhuang’s lips landed on the corner of his mouth.

"You’re awful."

Ruan Hongzhuang pulled away immediately, her face as red as rouge, and lightly punched him in the chest.

Shen Siyuan chuckled, about to explain when he was startled by a small figure next to him.

Dou Dou had somehow appeared beside them, watching the two with curiosity.

Seeing Shen Siyuan looking at her, she immediately turned her little butt around, waved her little fists, mimicking what Ruan Hongzhuang had just done.

"You’re awful."

Shen Siyuan:￣へ￣

This little rascal seems like she needs to be locked in the Ten Thousand Soul Banner for a good refining.
