Chapter 517: Chapter 285_2

Wenyan, however, did not have such a wealth of psychological activity as Shen Jingxiu did.

She immediately stood up from her seat, "Let’s go, big brother, I particularly want to eat a big crab leg, salt-baked. Let’s hurry up, the sooner we get the food the sooner we can start eating."

"Yeah, let’s go."

The two followed the waiter, one behind the other, toward the seafood section.

They hadn’t gone far when they heard Su Yang and Shen Yuan talking.

"Don’t you feel that Jingxiu has become more cheerful and lively since this trip? In the past, other than work, he seemed indifferent to everything. But today, he tried many new things. He helped his sister carry her bag and joined us for ice cream. He’s no longer the loner who prefers to shut himself away in his study," Su Yang said.

"Yeah, it was really right to come out this time. It’s clear that everyone is more relaxed."

"I think so too, and I’ve already thought of where we should go next. In a few months, it’ll be the hottest time of the year back home—summer. Then, our family should find a cool place to escape the heat. These two days here felt rather warm to me, so for our next winter trip, we definitely won’t come back here," Su Yang continued.

They were speaking at a normal volume, and Shen Jingxiu, who was not far away, pretty much heard everything.

However, Shen Jingxiu did not pay much attention to Su Yang’s talk of changing travel locations.

He only knew that they had noticed the changes towards Wenyan and his increased initiative.

But they did not suspect anything.

That was good.

The less they knew, the better.

The restaurant wasn’t very crowded, and the patrons dined leisurely.

Wenyan’s family took nearly two hours to eat.

By then, the sky had already darkened.

Wenyan finished the last bit of wine in her glass and asked everyone, "I’m so full I’m practically stuffed, and the wine tasted even better than I expected. I had a great time today. What about you all, are you satisfied with the meal and drinks?"

Shen Jinghe glanced at Wenyan, "I can tell you enjoyed the wine, you usually don’t drink much, but you refilled your glass several times. How about taking a bottle back with you when we leave?"

"No need for that, I’m actually not that into drinking. It really isn’t necessary to take any home. But I have another question, are we still going to the bar? It seems like dinner ran late. According to the original plan, we should be at the bar by now. But I’m too full, I don’t think I can make it to the next stop, and I’ve already had enough to drink. I think I don’t want to go; I just wonder if that would be a killjoy?"

"Killjoy? What killjoy?" Shen Jinghe said to Wenyan, "It’s actually perfect because I don’t want to go either. We can both head back to the hotel to rest."

"Yeah, if you don’t feel like it, don’t go," Su Yang said, "It is indeed a bit late today. If you don’t want to go, then skip it. Those who want to can go together or on their own. Mom’s really happy that our family has been doing activities together these two days, but it’s not mandatory, so Yanyan, you don’t need to talk about being a killjoy. And honestly, I don’t feel like moving anymore either; I’m too tired today. It was poor planning on my part; who has the energy left after a whole day of walking?"

Shen Jingchuan: "So it’s settled that no one will accompany me tonight? You’re all not going?"

Shen Jinghe: "Do you need our company?"

Shen Jingchuan: "I just don’t need yours, thank you very much."

Su Yang: "Well, it seems like you’ll have to go alone, Jingchuan, but aren’t you exhausted? I don’t even want to get up from here."

Shen Jingchuan: "Mom, honestly, your physical fitness is not up to par. It’s understandable for you and dad, given your age, but the rest of you should really be learning from me. How about this, Wenyan, you’ve been taking a break with no work plans, right? After we go back, you should start working out with me. Running, cycling, weightlifting—I’ll plan everything, starting with three hours a day, deal?"

Wenyan stared in disbelief: "Three hours... are you serious? I suspect you want to murder me, but why can’t you find a more straightforward way?"

Shen Jingchuan: "I think there might be some misunderstanding between us; I’m doing this for your own good. Seriously, I need a workout partner, and apart from you, I can’t find anyone more suitable. Why do you think I am the most appropriate choice? Do I look like someone who loves working out?"
