Chapter 451: Chapter 451 Night

"Do you want me to carry you to the bathroom for a shower?"

Shen Siyuan asked, holding Ruan Hongzhuang.

She was like a flower branch beaten by the rain, her whole body seemingly washed by water, her eyes half-closed and half-open, exuding a lazy charm.

Upon hearing Shen Siyuan’s words, she gently shook her head and said, "Give me another sip of water."

Shen Siyuan heard her, picked up the glass on the bedside table, and handed it over.

"Then I’ll go take a shower."

Shen Siyuan wrapped a blanket around himself, left the room, and headed towards the bathroom.

Looking at Shen Siyuan’s broad and strong back, Ruan Hongzhuang had mixed feelings of love and hate, gulped down a big mouthful of water to suppress the stirring in her heart. Her physical strength slightly recovered but she didn’t have the energy to fight.

She could clearly feel that Shen Siyuan had become stronger after coming back this time.

Shen Siyuan took a shower in the bathroom, then came to the living room with a towel wrapped around him, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bucket of iced milk.

Milk can replenish body protein while the icy chill slightly calms the body’s heat.

Just then, he heard a faint sound behind him, and suddenly turned around to see Taozi sneaking around, looking awkwardly caught.

"Hi~"

Taozi smiled and waved at Shen Siyuan, revealing a large section of her fair arm.

"What are you doing up so late?" Shen Siyuan asked in confusion.

Taozi secretly eyed Shen Siyuan’s bare upper body, her eyes shining, her lips slightly curled, cheeks lightly flushed.

"I’m asking you a question."

Upon hearing this, Taozi snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "I ordered takeout."

"You’re ordering takeout at this hour?" Shen Siyuan was quite surprised.

"I want to eat. Can’t I?" Taozi pouted, clearly displeased.

Her silk pajamas were quite loose, but precisely because of that, they accentuated her high bosom and hidden curves, possessing a unique allure.

"Of course you can, but won’t you worry about gaining weight in the middle of the night?"

"Humph, I’m naturally resistant to gaining weight." Taozi said proudly.

Shen Siyuan’s ears twitched, then he pointed towards the door and said, "Someone’s here, go open the door."

As soon as he finished, the doorbell rang, and Taozi hurriedly rushed forward to press the doorbell to let out a long sigh.

The reason she came out early was to prevent the delivery guy from ringing the doorbell and waking everyone up, but was distracted by Shen Siyuan and forgot.

After letting out a long sigh, Taozi realized she was a bit shocked at Shen Siyuan.

"They’re still downstairs, you actually heard them?"

"The wind told me."

Shen Siyuan said with a smile, then walked to the door and said, "You go inside, I’ll get it."

Taozi pursed her lips, just about to say she could handle it herself, he wouldn’t want to eat her takeout, then suddenly reconsidered.

She looked down at herself, gave a small smile, and didn’t refuse further.

"Takeout."

The delivery guy looked surprised at Shen Siyuan standing at the door with his bare upper body.

"Hand it over to me." Shen Siyuan reached out and took the takeout.

"Wow, great physique." The delivery guy couldn’t help but praise.

"Thanks, take care."

"Please give a good review."

"No problem."

Shen Siyuan replied and closed the door, turning around to find Taozi standing not far behind him, looking at him with a grin.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Siyuan asked in confusion.

"Didn’t you shower earlier? Why shower again late at night?"

"None of your business, nosy." Shen Siyuan rolled his eyes at her.

"Hehe..."

Taozi blinked and gave a meaningful smile.

Shen Siyuan ignored her and placed the takeout on the table.

"What did you buy? Such a big bag?"

"Barbecue. Want to join me?"

Before Shen Siyuan could answer, she added, "I ordered a lot, let’s eat together."

With that, she turned around, opened the fridge, and took out two cans of cold beer.

"Want to drink together?"

"Sure."

Shen Siyuan considered and agreed.

Hearing his response, Taozi immediately prepared a fruit platter and brought it along.

By now, Shen Siyuan had opened all her ordered takeout.

He found not only various skewers but also plenty of seafood.

"So much, you planned to eat on your own?" Shen Siyuan asked in amazement.

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"You can finish it all by yourself?"

"Why do I have to finish it?" Taozi countered.

Right, if you don’t consider waste, there’s no need to worry about finishing all the food.

However, Shen Siyuan couldn’t help but remind her.

"Order less next time."

"Why less, isn’t it great to have you around? If I can’t finish, I’ll call for you."

"You’re treating me like a garbage disposal?"

"Hehe..., I’m willing, but Ruan Ruan might not be." Taozi laughed and sat down opposite Shen Siyuan.

In the bright light, Shen Siyuan could clearly see that she wore nothing underneath, revealing a silhouette of white and two distinct points.

Likewise, Taozi didn’t shy away from gazing at Shen Siyuan’s upper body.

"Your muscle tone is perfect, how did you build it up?"

Her expression was confident, but her cheeks blushed like painted rouge.

"Want to learn? I’ll teach you." Shen Siyuan offered.

"No way, I don’t want to be like you, full of muscles, that would be ugly." Taozi pouted.

"It can improve body fitness, flexibility, and resistance..."

Upon hearing this, Taozi started to be tempted but suddenly remembered something, she asked skeptically, "You’re not talking about the ’Embrace the Wind and Sleep’, are you? I practiced with Ruan Ruan, it was useless."

"You’re just practicing it wrong." Shen Siyuan casually fibbed.

Taozi believed him, but she quickly thought of Tang Tang; if they practiced it wrong, could Tang Tang have done it right?

She was about to ask when Shen Siyuan raised a beer bottle and said, "Let’s toast."

So she instinctively raised her beer, missed her chance to ask.

"Are you and Ruan Ruan getting married in March next year?"

"Yeah."

"So soon."

"I’m not rushing, her parents are."

"Makes sense, Ruan Ruan is already twenty-eight, wait any longer and she’ll be thirty, that’s old-maid territory." Taozi chuckled.

Shen Siyuan glanced at her and said, "You’re the same."

"Can’t we not talk about unhappy topics?" Taozi said annoyed.

"Fine, not that topic, but what’s your plan?"

"Plan for what?"

"Finding a boyfriend, are you planning on getting married?"

"Yeah, can’t I? Why must I marry someone, it’s fine being alone." Taozi fixed her moist eyes on Shen Siyuan.

"Of course you can, I’m not saying anything, why are you so tense?"

"Ugh, how am I tense, even food can’t keep you quiet."

Taozi placed a grilled mackerel on Shen Siyuan’s plate.

"This is tasty, try it..."

"Also this pan-fried goose liver on toast, but it’s a bit cold, slightly fishy..."

Taozi started her feeding mode, pushing food continuously to Shen Siyuan while she barely ate.

"So nice? Offering without motive, either trickery or theft, what do you want?" Shen Siyuan joked.

"Let me touch..."

"What?"

"Let me touch it, see how it feels."

Taozi reached across the table, touching Shen Siyuan’s chest muscles.

"Wow, female rascal."

This voice wasn’t from Shen Siyuan, nor Taozi herself.

It came from beside, and when they turned, Dou Dou was peeking over the table, standing on tiptoes, curiously watching them.

As they looked over, Dou Dou repeated, "Aunt is a rascal."

Taozi’s face instantly burned like fire, and at that moment, she wanted to spank Dou Dou’s bottom into two big buns.
