Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Just Sleeping

Zhao Xiaoxin hurriedly and cautiously called out, "Big Brother."

Meng Chuyue linked her arm with hers, "Yeah. From now on, we’re family, no need to be so formal. Uh, are you hungry right now? If you’re hungry, we can go eat something first."

Zhao Xiaoxin’s eyes filled with tears in an instant.

Zhao Sulan had never asked her this question, yet Meng Chuyue had done so within moments.

Indeed, Zhao Sulan was not a decent person.

She, who had just eaten at the hospital cafeteria, nodded her head, "I just ate at the hospital cafeteria."

"Alright, then let’s go buy some clothes first."

After she spoke, she turned her head to ask Shen Ci, "Are you coming with us or heading back first?"

Seizing the opportunity, Shen Ci took her other hand, "Of course I’m coming with you, I’ll carry things for you."

Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci took Zhao Xiaoxin straight to the largest mall in Hai City, treating her to a shopping spree.

They bought nothing but very expensive and fine things.

Zhao Xiaoxin was terrified, resisting fiercely, but Meng Chuyue persuaded her, "Ah Ci and I have partnered up to open a fast-food restaurant that has more than fifty staff members. We both will be going to school later on, so we need you to help us keep an eye on the shop. That’s why you must pay attention to your appearance. Once we finish buying clothes and shoes, you also need to go to the hair salon to get your hair done."

Zhao Xiaoxin, not wanting to let Meng Chuyue down, let her do as she wished, secretly vowing to herself that she would definitely help her sister manage the restaurant well.

Leaving the mall and after having Zhao Xiaoxin’s hair done at a hair salon, the trio made their way back at around six o’clock.

Zhao Xiaoxin knew that Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci’s fast-food restaurant couldn’t be small in scale.

With over fifty employees, how could it possibly be small?

However, even with a mental preparedness, she was still shocked by the bustling scene inside the restaurant.

My goodness, the business was booming too much, right?

The crowding was such that, to the unknowing eye, it could have been mistaken for a morning vegetable market.

Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci squeezed their way to the stairs with Zhao Xiaoxin and signaled to a server, "Bring a set meal up to the fifth floor."

The server, dressed in a red uniform, respectfully complied, "Yes, boss."

After bringing Zhao Xiaoxin to the fifth floor, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci realized a problem.

A very serious problem: it was finished—they had brought a third wheel home.

Recently, they had either been sleeping together or climbing into each other’s bed in the middle of the night, even though getting into bed meant just sleeping under the covers. But those actions, without anyone else around, could demonstrate purity.

Now, with Zhao Xiaoxin there...

It was very awkward.

Zhao Xiaoxin, a young girl who had not seen much of the world, needed looking after.

Naturally, they couldn’t just place her on another floor.

Therefore, only Shen Ci could leave.

Shen Ci, with his quick wits, immediately took Meng Chuyue to his own room, closed the door, and whispered lowly, "I’ll stay on the same floor as you all, no matter how you look at it. I’ll just stay in the second-floor office, then."

"Sure, sure." Meng Chuyue chuckled, quickly giving Shen Ci a peck, "Bear with it for a few days. Once Xiao Xin gets settled in, we’ll remodel the fifth-floor room into four separate ones."

That way, Zhao Xiaoxin wouldn’t need to leave the room to use the toilet, avoiding all sorts of awkwardness.

"Uh-huh, I’ll listen to you."

Not wanting Zhao Xiaoxin to take it to heart, the two only discussed this matter, shared a deep kiss, and then went out together.

By this time, the server had already brought up a set meal.

It consisted of a bucket of chicken wings, a cup of orange juice, and a beef hamburger.

Meng Chuyue fed Shen Ci a chicken wing and also took one herself, took a bite, and said, "Xiao Xin, come taste our store’s products. You eat first, I’ll go tidy up the room for you."

Zhao Xiaoxin quickly waved her hand, "I’m not hungry, really, just a wing will do for me. I’ll help you tidy up the room."

Her sister was so kind to her; she knew she had to be grateful and not take it for granted.

Meng Chuyue smiled and said, "The room just needs to be disinfected with insecticide spray and then have some things moved into it, Ah Ci and I can handle it. You hurry up and eat, once you’re done, help me pick the vegetables."
