82: Chapter 82 Hearts Connected by Threads!
Even the Shen Zhou of that time had received a birthday gift from him.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons why the Shen Zhou of that time had completely fallen for her.
The two of them feasted on a pot of skewers.
Even Lin Manzhi ate until she exclaimed in satisfaction.
She completely cast aside her former noble and elegant posture.
After the meal, Shen Zhou and Lin Manzhi strolled casually through Yongzhen City and the surrounding food streets.
On the way, they soon encountered someone selling rabbit hairpins.
Lin Manzhi stared at those hairpins with a hint of envy.
Without a word, Shen Zhou stepped forward and bought one.
And he personally placed it on her head.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
Lin Manzhi flashed a peace sign at Shen Zhou.
Shen Zhou immediately took out his phone to capture this scene.
In the picture, Lin Manzhi was smiling very happily.
The two walked hand in hand through the crowd.
Along the way, they garnered quite a few glances.
Many boyfriends were pinched repeatedly on the waist by their own girlfriends.
"Hahaha..."
Lin Manzhi, meanwhile, covered her mouth and giggled without any inhibition.
After a while, he raised his left arm to look at his bright silver watch.
He found that the time had already reached one o'clock in the morning.
"Time passes so quickly!"
Lin Manzhi was suddenly a bit surprised.
She had originally felt it was at most around ten o'clock.
She even felt as if she and Shen Zhou had only just met.
Who would have thought three or four hours had already passed.
"Maybe it's because we're both quite happy; happy to the point of forgetting the passage of time."
Shen Zhou said very naturally.
This evening's stroll perfectly helped him make up for the regrets in his heart from his school days.
Even he felt very comfortable.
Everything was so natural.
"Yeah, tonight was really happy."
"I don't know when I'll be able to see you again next time."
Lin Manzhi said with much emotion.
She knew that she had long since lost the possibility of always staying by Shen Zhou's side.
And she had also long since drifted apart from Shen Zhou.
Scenes of her time with Shen Zhou back in school appeared in her mind.
And the images of the two of them secretly holding hands in a small corner.
The corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and the expression on her face became softer.
"I'll come find you when I have time in the future."
Shen Zhou also said with a smile.
"Okay, when we meet next time, I'll introduce a best friend to you."
"That best friend of mine is very good; she's considered the best woman I've ever seen."
"Maybe the two of you will really hit it off."
Lin Manzhi said without hesitation.
Although there was no possibility for her and Shen Zhou, she didn't want her and Shen Zhou to cut off contact like this.
And she knew her best friend's personality.
That best friend of hers could even allow Shen Zhou to cheat physically multiple times.
"We'll see."
Shen Zhou smiled and waved his hand.
"Shen Zhou, shopping is so tiring."
Lin Manzhi tilted her head and leaned it on Shen Zhou's shoulder.
Those beautiful eyes kept staring at Shen Zhou's profile.
Gradually, she actually became a bit infatuated.
Whether she was seeing him through a filter or what, for the first time, she felt Shen Zhou was actually so handsome.
Shen Zhou very naturally put his arm around Lin Manzhi's slender waist.
The two of them walked into a star-rated hotel together.
As soon as they entered, Lin Manzhi very naturally kissed Shen Zhou.
The two engaged in a French wet kiss that lasted for a full three minutes.
Finally, Lin Manzhi gently pushed Shen Zhou away.
And she placed a finger vertically against Shen Zhou's lips.
"I'm going to take a shower first, wait for me, and don't fall asleep."
Lin Manzhi covered her mouth and laughed, then immediately turned and slipped into the bathroom.
Not long after, Lin Manzhi walked out draped in a bathrobe.
Lin Manzhi's height was much taller than Chen Xiaoran's.
Moreover, Lin Manzhi's skin appeared even fairer.
Her full head of black hair even reached down to her waist.
That night, Shen Zhou experienced extreme tenderness.
And the wildness after the tenderness.
It had to be said, there was still a huge difference between a woman and a young girl.
When Shen Zhou woke up again, he found it was already twelve o'clock noon.
And Lin Manzhi beside him was still tightly hugging Shen Zhou, sleeping with steady breaths.
Shen Zhou gently held her to his chest and let out a long breath.
"It's been so many years, I really didn't expect this."
Looking at Lin Manzhi's charming face from the side, Shen Zhou still felt it was a bit surreal.
Just then, the system's notification sound rang.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully taking possession of the White Moonlight from his school days.]
[Not every woman is suitable for investing all your emotions in, but every woman is a unique creation of God.]
[Congratulations to the host for discovering a business tool person.]
[She is a bit worldly, she is a bit imperfect, but her ambition is strong enough!]
[Mission Reward: Heart-Connecting Thread.]
[Item Description: The host can use this item to connect with a member of the opposite sex; the connected person will be 100% loyal to the host.]
Seeing this, Shen Zhou shook his head with some helplessness.
"I was wondering why you were so persistent about Lin Manzhi, System Bro."
"I thought you wanted to cultivate my Cao Thief talent."
"But this is fine too, though she needs to hurry up and divorce Li Peijun."
Although Shen Zhou didn't have much affection for Lin Manzhi.
This didn't mean he liked sharing an item with others.
Especially with the 100% loyalty of the Heart-Connecting Thread.
As long as Shen Zhou successfully used this item, no matter what Lin Manzhi was like before.
It would be absolutely impossible for Lin Manzhi to continue maintaining a marital relationship with Li Peijun in the future.
"This actually makes things easier."
"Taking his wife away, I'll let him off the hook then."
Shen Zhou completely set aside his plan to deal with Li Peijun.
After waiting for another half hour or so, Lin Manzhi stretched and woke up.
The next moment, Lin Manzhi looked to the left with some panic.
When she saw that Shen Zhou was still lying beside her, she finally let out a long breath.
Then she tightly hugged Shen Zhou.
She suddenly realized that she seemed unable to leave Shen Zhou at all.
"After you go back, divorce Li Peijun."
Shen Zhou said while taking a puff of a cigarette.
"No problem, I've had that intention for a long time."
Lin Manzhi's eyes lit up.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Shen Zhou asked.
"I'll listen to you; I'll do whatever you want me to do."
Then Lin Manzhi introduced her current industries in a constant stream of words.
It turned out she hadn't thought about completely marrying into a wealthy family and living a life of leisure.
She already had a trendy brand under her command.
It's just that the scale of that trendy brand wasn't large, barely sustaining the lives of over ten employees.
"Go ahead and do it; if you need capital injection, contact me."
"I can also set up a connection for you."
"Remember Lin Lan, whom we met last night?"
"She's in media; I'll find a way to get several celebrities to endorse your trendy brand."
After a brief thought, Shen Zhou spoke.
