34: Chapter 34 Taking full responsibility

At this moment, at the W Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai.

The Hotel Manager walked to the front desk: "Mr. Tang just sent a message, arrange this immediately! Have the water ready by nine, scatter rose petals on the window, and send over a couple's fruit platter."

...

Inside a small restaurant at the entrance of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Shen Muyan held the menu; given her spending habits, she would order at most four dishes and a soup.

But today, the girl was going all out. She had 5,000 yuan in her pocket, which included over 3,000 she had saved from her part-time job.

"Order whatever you want to eat..." After confirming that there were no dishes on the menu she couldn't afford, Shen Muyan handed the menu to him.

Tang Luochuan also put down his phone; he had just received a reply from the hotel, and everything was arranged.

"I'll take the Couple's Beef Offal!" Tang Luochuan didn't stand on ceremony and started ordering with a pen.

The waiter nearby quickly took note.

"Flirty Eggplant! Passionate Shrimp Paste! Clouds and Rain... Inseparable as Glue and Lacquer... Blending Like Water and Milk!"

"Wait! Wait!" Shen Muyan snatched the menu; she had only been looking at the prices earlier and hadn't noticed the names.

She thought this guy was just spouting nonsense.

But after snatching the menu, those dishes were actually on it.

"You guys didn't have these dishes before..." Shen Muyan complained a little; she was being flirted with just by ordering food.

The waiter explained: "There are many young couples near our university town, so we added them specifically to cater to the market."

"Th-th-then... fine." Shen Muyan handed the menu back to Tang Luochuan: "You order. Aren't there other things like Farmhouse Stir-fry, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs..."

She signaled for him to order some normal ones; after all, these names were too strange.

Flirty Eggplant and Passionate Shrimp Paste were still understandable.

But Clouds and Rain... Inseparable as Glue and Lacquer... Blending Like Water and Milk—she had no idea what those dishes were.

Tang Luochuan rubbed his chin and started searching.

Shen Muyan picked up her teacup, pretending to drink tea...

The waiter was used to this kind of scene; he directly pointed to a dish and gave Tang Luochuan a 'I understand' look.

Tang Luochuan looked at the dish name, laughed, secretly gave the waiter a thumbs up, and said: "Add one 'Pillar Supporting the Heavens'!! That's all..."

"Pfft~~~" The tea had just entered her mouth, and when Shen Muyan heard this dish name, she sprayed it out.

It sprayed onto Tang Luochuan's face, not missing a drop.

"Senior, that's a bit much." Tang Luochuan didn't change his expression as he pulled out a tissue: "You could have fed it to me, but you can't spray it on my face~~"

"Tang Luochuan~~~~" Shen Muyan stamped her feet anxiously: "Stop talking!"

The waiter secretly returned a thumbs up and politely said: "I'll go place the order for you two! Please wait a moment..."

While waiting, Tang Luochuan took the time to reply to a message and sent it to Jiang Jinyue.

This girl, he could consider her now.

At least Jiang Deming and Ma Ying were very simple and honest, not the type to look down on others.

Tang Luochuan: [Want to eat or not? When are you free tomorrow? I heard there's a drone show at Construction Square until 11 PM, are you going?]

At this moment, Jiang Jinyue was eating with her roommates.

Su Yuanyuan looked at her with envy: "Yueyue, you look so good when you eat, taking small bites, chewing slowly, it's especially elegant."

"Ah? Do I?" Jiang Jinyue didn't think there was anything special about it.

She was born with a goddess-like temperament; every move she made was calm and composed.

Sitting at the same table, the other two girls were slightly hunched over, looking casual and relaxed.

Only she sat with her back straight, picking up food and taking only small, gentle bites; even a normal meal was eaten with a sense of elegance and dignity.

But the next second, her phone rang.

Jiang Jinyue's goddess-like temperament vanished instantly, and she quickly picked up her phone: "He's urging me again..."

However, after reading the message, Jiang Jinyue pondered for a moment: "Hmm~~ This one is okay, he's inviting me to watch a drone show! It's at Construction Square, you guys should come too."

"What's okay about it?" Su Yuanyuan swallowed the food in her mouth forcefully: "Did he say what time?"

"11 PM!"

"Exactly, he's doing it on purpose! You won't be able to get back to school by 11 PM, he definitely wants to take you to stay outside. He's got you figured out!!"

Jiang Jinyue frowned slightly: "Is that so?"

"Maybe... Tang Luochuan doesn't mean that? Maybe he's just actually giving you candy!" Su Yuanyuan felt they were overthinking it: "Why don't we just ask him directly?"

Jiang Jinyue: "How do I ask!"

"Give it to me!" Su Yuanyuan reached out for the phone: "I'll help you!"

Jiang Jinyue: [How many pieces of candy do you have?]

Tang Luochuan: [One piece!]

Jiang Jinyue: [Give it all to me?]

Tang Luochuan: [Half for each!]

Jiang Jinyue: [Break it apart?]

Tang Luochuan: [Melt it!]

Jiang Jinyue: [But the school doesn't let anyone in after nine-something, if we play until 11, I definitely won't be able to get back.]

Tang Luochuan: [The hotel I booked has staff 24 hours a day.]

Su Yuanyuan took a deep breath and returned the phone to Jiang Jinyue, her face flushed: "I can't handle this, Jinyue! I'm powerless, sister."

Looking at the conversation Su Yuanyuan had helped her with, Jiang Jinyue felt dizzy.

"I'll just be myself!" Saying that, she sent a message.

Jiang Jinyue: [An upright person doesn't fear a crooked shadow! See you tomorrow at noon!]

"Right! That's what you should say, just be yourself!" Su Yuanyuan also agreed with this message.

Tang Luochuan: [Alright, tomorrow I'll see just how upright your body is!!]

"Damn! What do you mean 'see how upright your body is'??", Liu Xin couldn't hold it back, snatched the phone, and sent him a voice message: "F*** you!!"

...

Tang Luochuan was grinning from ear to ear at this moment; several dishes had already been served.

Shen Muyan looked at his expression; without even needing to think, she already knew who he was chatting with.

"Jinyue?"

"Uh... well, the food is served." Tang Luochuan quickly put away his phone: "Let's eat."

Tang Luochuan picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up some food.

The girl also picked up her chopsticks and clamped down on his.

"Is it her?"

"It is... I... I..."

Seeing Tang Luochuan flustered for the first time, Shen Muyan found it quite interesting.

The roles of the two had reversed.

The girl continued: "I had already noticed that the way she looks at you isn't right. Yesterday during your class gathering, she already told me."

"What?"

"She wants to get to know you!" Shen Muyan released the chopsticks: "Tang Luochuan!!"

Her voice suddenly became serious: "I also like you. I know you'll definitely have many women, but... I'm serious! I've never been just playing around."

Tang Luochuan put down his chopsticks, his expression also becoming serious: "I will take responsibility, and I'm not just messing around either! Besides, most of the messy things in some families are because of money! You can rest assured that these things won't happen with me... If you're with me, I'll be responsible to the end!!"
