After leaving the hotel, Nan Xuan glanced at the map on her phone.
Hmm…
Decision made. It’s you!
She followed the navigation and drove to a seafood shop. She bought all kinds of seafood, ten pounds of each kind. Then she bought a small cart to put everything on.
Next, she made a bulk purchase of freshly prepared and live products from the owner and had them delivered to the large warehouse she had rented before coming here.
After buying seafood, she bought some vegetables as well.
When she finally spotted a shop selling barbecue grills, she immediately bought a hundred of them. She also bought a ton of charcoal from the shop and had everything delivered to the warehouse.
Along the way, she bought whatever caught her eye.
It felt like she had simply moved her stockpiling operation to another place.
She did not even spare the oven in the hotel room. Although she probably would not have any use for it, Nan Xuan simply could not resist buying pretty things.
While the shop owners frantically delivered everything to the large warehouse, Nan Xuan quickly returned to the hotel and placed the seafood in the small kitchen that came with her room.
Then she left and drove straight to the warehouse.
By the time she arrived, she happened to catch the shop owners finishing their deliveries and leaving.
Nan Xuan looked around.
No people.
No surveillance cameras.
Perfect!
She waved her hand and collected everything into her space before driving away.
After Nan Xuan left, a person crawled out from the bushes.
There was not a single patch of intact flesh left on his body. He could only make a hoarse “Hah… hah…” sound, and his eyes contained gray pupils.
Back at the hotel, Nan Xuan knocked on the door opposite hers.
“Who is it?”
A voice came from inside.
The door was immediately opened, and a head poked out.
The two stared at each other.
“Hi~ Do you still remember me~?”
Nan Xuan put on a bright little smile.
“Ah, I remember, I remember. You’re the young lady from the elevator today. Is something wrong? Do you need something?”
The man who opened the door immediately opened it wider, revealing his whole body as well as the state of the room inside.
“Yeah! You guys are the first people I met after coming out to travel for the first time! I want to treat you to seafood~ I cooked it myself!”
Nan Xuan lied without the slightest change in her expression or heartbeat.
“Ah?”
It was obvious that she had completely confused him.
“What happened?”
A familiar voice came with approaching footsteps.
But the moment he reached the doorway, he froze.
Nan Xuan froze too.
Her little mouth opened slightly, and her gaze slowly moved downward.
Damn…
Those abs!
Those chest muscles!
Good heavens!
That perfect V-line!
Those contours!
Wow!
Water droplets were trickling down those defined lines.
Slurp~
Realizing what was happening, Xiao Beiyu’s handsome face immediately flushed red.
“I… I’m sorry. I’ll step away for a moment.”
He left in a hurry.
“Hmm??”
Nan Xuan blinked and looked at the man who had opened the door.
“Um… my name is Yan Yi. Why don’t you go back first, miss? I’ll ask them for you?”
Yan Yi was so embarrassed that he probably could have dug an entire villa out of the floor with his toes.
“Okay~ Thank you.”
Nan Xuan smiled happily.
She had just turned around to leave when she saw Xiao Beiyu coming back out after getting dressed.
He clearly had not dried his hair yet. Water was still dripping from it.
“Um, did you need something?”
Xiao Beiyu looked at Nan Xuan somewhat unnaturally.
“Yeah! I want to treat you guys to seafood! I cooked it myself. My cooking is actually pretty amazing~”
Nan Xuan’s smile became even brighter.
“Okay. Then we’ll trouble you. Around what time?”
Xiao Beiyu looked directly at Nan Xuan.
He did not understand why she was inviting them to dinner on their very first day of meeting.
But when he heard the word “seafood,” his eyes still lit up involuntarily.
“Seven tonight~ I’ll wait for you guys. I’ll head back first.”
Nan Xuan waved her hand, walked into her room, and closed the door.
Then she hurriedly began preparing the ingredients.
Back in the room, Xiao Beiyu and the others sat on the sofa and thought about what had just happened.
“Captain, I think it’s fine. Maybe she just has a thing for you.”
Sun Miao scratched his head and struggled for a long time before finally squeezing out that sentence.
Xiao Beiyu: “…”
The others: “…”
Did he seriously believe that himself?
Sun Miao received a white-eyed glare from everyone.
Xiao Beiyu frowned and thought for a while.
“It doesn’t matter. We’ll know when we go there tonight. Keep your guard up. If there’s no problem, then maybe the girl simply wants to make friends. If there is a problem, deal with it and leave no traces.”
After a long silence, Xiao Beiyu gave his conclusion and returned to his own room.
Thinking about that bright smile, his expression darkened.
He sighed and looked out through the glass.
I hope you don’t have some other motive…
He lay on the bed with his eyes closed, taking a short rest.
Meanwhile, Nan Xuan was still working enthusiastically.
Spicy crayfish.
Garlic-chili lobster.
Garlic vermicelli scallops.
Steamed crabs with dipping sauce prepared on the side.
Garlic oysters.
King crab legs and the body, carefully cut apart with scissors.
She also steamed Dungeness crabs and sea snails.
She made a stir-fry with coconut snails as well.
There was crab roe fried rice, cold shredded jellyfish, oil-braised prawns, and steamed tiger prawns.
After admiring the table full of food with satisfaction, she casually cooked a pot of lobster porridge.
She had made it with spirit spring water.
It was absolutely worth it!
Then she covered everything with the constant-temperature protective shield from her space to keep the food warm.
Nan Xuan rummaged through the alcohol she had bought in her space and took out several cases of beer to place beside the table.
After thinking about it, she took out several bottles of liquor as well.
Then she brought out an insulated cooler filled with ice.
She arranged the glasses, set up the chairs, and placed fruit on the table for after dinner.
Finally, she admired her table setting.
Mmm!
Perfect~
Afterward, she took a lovely shower and dried her hair before collapsing onto the sofa.
She checked the time.
Six-thirty.
There was still half an hour~
Then she thought about the days to come and suddenly started grinning foolishly.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. My boss, what happened to you? Did you suddenly change genders? You didn’t become stupid from transmigrating and being reborn, did you? That won’t do! Xiao Xuanzi is counting on Boss to protect him!”
“(> ⌑ <ഃ)”
Nan Xuan: “…”
“Believe me or not, I can block you for several decades and ignore you.”
Nan Xuan rolled her eyes.
She directly entered her space, grabbed the little white dog Xiao Xuanzi had transformed into, and gave him a thorough beating.
Then she drank a mouthful of spirit spring water and left the space feeling satisfied.
That left Xiao Xuanzi behind in the space, crying pitifully and complaining about how unfair it was.
