CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 396: AN EARLY MORNING VISIT

Shen Siyuan was woken up early in the morning by the ringing of his cell phone.

Picking up the phone, he saw a video call from Ruan Hongzhuang with a green bubble and directly answered it with ease.

"Did you just get out of bed?"

From the video, Ruan Hongzhuang’s gentle voice came through. She was neatly dressed, sitting on the balcony, with a little head seemingly eager to lean forward.

"I went to bed late last night and was just woken up by you." Shen Siyuan yawned.

"Oh~, went to bed very late?"

Ruan Hongzhuang’s voice trailed off with a prolonged tone, a little teasing.

But Shen Siyuan had just gotten out of bed and wasn’t fully awake yet, so he didn’t notice that.

Instead, he noticed the little head next to her, imitating Shen Siyuan opening its mouth wide. Through the screen, he could even see her small teeth.

"Tang Tang~" Shen Siyuan called out, then got up from the bed.

"han~han~ hoo-hoo-hoo~"

Tang Tang breathed out a few times over the screen, seemingly trying to blow towards Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan was amused by her.

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out to sit her on her lap.

"Brother, is it time for breakfast?"

"I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet." Shen Siyuan replied.

"Are you alone?"

Ruan Hongzhuang’s question seemed casual.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan was first taken aback, then realized and said: "You’re asking about Duoduo and the others, right? They went out and haven’t come back yet."

"I was asking about Taozi, wasn’t she with you last night?"

"Of course she went back to her place, how could she stay with me... wait a minute... what do you mean?"

Shen Siyuan finally caught on.

"Haha~, I’m just joking."

Ruan Hongzhuang pursed her lips and laughed lightly, it seemed she really was just teasing Shen Siyuan.

"Do you not have to go to the company today?"

"It’s Saturday today, I plan to go to Rainbow House with Tang Tang." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Is that so? I’ve lost track of time."

"When are you coming back?"

"According to the original plan, probably in more than ten days." Shen Siyuan said.

"Alright then, I won’t disturb you any longer, Taozi will probably come to find you soon."

"Okay, bye." Shen Siyuan waved at the screen.

Tang Tang, sitting in Ruan Hongzhuang’s arms, immediately waved her little hand.

The two ended the call and just as Shen Siyuan entered the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, he heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It’s me, Shen Siyuan, are you up?" Taozi’s voice came from outside the door.

Shen Siyuan walked over and opened the door, to see Taozi standing pertly at the door.

She had changed into a different outfit today, a pale yellow short-sleeved shirt that made her chest look plump, paired with high-waisted jeans that accentuated her hips even more. She was the kind of girl with a fuller figure, and this outfit made her curves stand out even more.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan was still wearing pajamas, Jiang Taoshi lifted the bag in her hand.

"I bought you breakfast."

"Thanks, come on in."

Shen Siyuan stepped aside to let her into the room.

As she passed by, he smelled a faint scent of jasmine, which was somewhat familiar.

"The perfume you have on today smells nice." Shen Siyuan said.

"It’s a gift from Ruan Ruan." Taozi said with a smile.

"That’s why it feels so familiar."

"You sit for a bit, I’m going to brush my teeth." Shen Siyuan said.

"Sure."

Taozi didn’t stand on ceremony with him and went straight to the balcony.

The semi-circular balcony offered a view of most of Coconut City, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the morning sunlight bathed the balcony in a faint warmth.

Around the edge of the balcony, a circle of flowers and plants were planted, swaying with the breeze.

Taozi put down the items in her hands on the table and sat down, her gaze not looking towards the inside of the house.

Through a layer of light frosted glass, the figure of Shen Siyuan could be vaguely seen.

Thinking about what Ruan Hongzhuang said to her that night, a faint blush painted her cheeks.

In her heart, she cursed silently, scolding Ruan Hongzhuang as insane for speaking such nonsense.

But upon hearing her scandalous reasons, she found them somewhat plausible.

Meeting Shen Siyuan in Coconut City this time was purely by chance; perhaps there was really some fate involved, for them to encounter each other like this.

Shen Siyuan came out of the bathroom and saw Taozi sitting on the balcony, lost in thought, and said, "Wait a moment, I’m going to change my clothes."

"Okay," Taozi replied.

Shen Siyuan didn’t mind, turned his back to the balcony, and started changing his clothes directly after taking off his sleepwear.

He thought that by saying this, Taozi would turn her head away.

However, he didn’t expect that Taozi didn’t turn her head. It wasn’t that Jiang Taoshi intentionally eavesdropped; she was just pondering something and subconsciously responded.

It wasn’t until Shen Siyuan took off his clothes, revealing his bare body, wearing only a pair of shorts, that she came back to her senses.

Just as Ruan Ruan described exactly, how could a person’s physique be so perfect?

She could only feel an uneasy restlessness rising in her heart, her skin becoming burning hot, and her whole being seemed somewhat dizzy.

Shen Siyuan’s physique was originally fine, and "Great Arhat Eighteen Forms" was one of the strongest Cultivation Techniques for making the flesh approach perfection.

After Shen Siyuan got dressed, he turned around and saw Taozi staring straight at him with reddened cheeks, her gaze almost stringy.

He then smiled and asked, "What do you think? Do I look good?"

He didn’t take these things to heart because living in Bin Hai, such circumstances were too common. Taking a stroll on the beach, one would see plenty of bikini girls and bulky shorts guys; frequent exposure made one desensitized.

This was also why Shen Siyuan changed clothes without any scruples, believing there was nothing inappropriate about it.

"It’s amazing, I never realized this before."

Taozi forced herself to stay composed, revealing a brilliantly pink smile.

Just brilliantly pink, her whole being now was pink, looking exceptionally pretty in the morning sunlight, so much that Shen Siyuan was slightly stunned before coming back to his senses.

Shifting his gaze, he walked over and asked, "What did you buy?"

"There’s seafood porridge, egg yolk zongzi, Baoluo fen, steamed suckling pig, soup dumplings..."

"So much?"

Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised, and those items were probably not available from just one shop.

"You eat a lot, so I bought a bit extra," Taozi said.

"Did you eat yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then let’s eat together."

"Sure~"

Taozi took out chopsticks, snapped them apart, and casually passed them to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan reached out to take them and directly headed for the steamed suckling pig.

Just then, a breeze blew, fluttering against his face three times.

"Huh huh huh?"

Shen Siyuan: ...

"It’s mine."

Taozi directly picked up a piece of steamed suckling pig from under Shen Siyuan’s chopsticks.

Perhaps in other places, eating steamed suckling pig so early in the morning would be a bit extravagant, but this was a very famous specialty breakfast in Qionghai.

Shen Siyuan didn’t fuss over it and reached for another piece.

Taozi, however, didn’t eat but kept watching Shen Siyuan, watching him stuff the steamed suckling pig into his mouth.

Then she excitedly asked, "How is it, how is it? Tasty? I got up early in the morning to buy it from Xingmin Road’s shop, they say online that their steamed suckling pig is the tastiest in all of Coconut City..."

Seeing that fervor in Taozi, Shen Siyuan thought that even if the taste of the steamed suckling pig was bad, the emotional value alone would suffice to uplift one’s spirits.

Moreover, it actually tasted quite good, so he smiled and nodded.

"Ah woo~"

Only then did she put the piece that she held all along with her chopsticks into her mouth, squinting her eyes, a face full of bliss apparent.

"Delicious~"

Shen Siyuan looked at her, and couldn’t help but smile too; this girl really was interesting.
