Golden Shield Hotel.

Yang Zi had already reserved a spot at the revolving restaurant on the top floor. A location near the glass edge. Sitting here was very comfortable, and the setup was quite special. There were already quite a few people dining here.

"Good evening, sir and madam." The waiter warmly welcomed the two. Then he smilingly led them to their seats.

"I heard there'll be fireworks tonight," Yang Zi said with a smile.

"Is there a holiday?" Lin Chuan asked.

"International Labor Day," Yang Zi chuckled.

"It's already May Day?!" Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "In the blink of an eye, five months have already passed this year. Isn't that too fast?"

The spot was great, but the price was not cheap.

After sitting down, the waiter quickly began to serve, Chinese cuisine, five dishes for the two of them. Every dish was exquisitely crafted and special. One dish of stir-fried lamb kidneys was particularly appetizing.

"Are you trying to get me to eat kidneys?" Lin Chuan joked.

"Yes!" Yang Zi giggled, "So your tricks in bed will be even better, what's wrong with that?"

"Haha!" Lin Chuan quickly used his laughter to hide his embarrassment.

Yang Zi giggled from the side, her mouth curling into a mischievous smile.

Yang Zi hurriedly served Lin Chuan some food, mixing it with rice, and Lin Chuan gobbled it down. Soon, he was eating heartily. The portions here were quite decent. If each dish were as delicate and scarce as in big hotels, it wouldn't be enough for Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan ate two big bowls of rice in one go, while Yang Zi was still daintily chewing her food.

"Lin Chuan, you..." Yang Zi was surprised at how fast Lin Chuan ate.

"Excuse me." Lin Chuan picked up a third bowl of rice, grinning, "I've always eaten like this."

Haha...

Yang Zi giggled, saying, "You really have a unique way of eating."

"It's something I developed in the military," Lin Chuan laughed.

"You were in the military?" Yang Zi blinked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Lin Chuan nodded, "After that year, I went into the military."

"Was it the year I drove you away?" Yang Zi looked at Lin Chuan curiously, her playful eyes appearing exceptionally beautiful. She seemed very nostalgic about those past events.

"Yes!" Lin Chuan nodded, "That was the year. Until I came back later."

"You were gone for eight years." Yang Zi sighed, "Actually, I've always regretted it, regretted insulting you back then. If it weren't for me, maybe your mom wouldn't have had to wait here for eight years. If it weren't for me, maybe your life wouldn't have been like this."

"I think I'm quite fine now," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"But I've always felt sorry for you," Yang Zi bit her lip.

"It's nothing." Lin Chuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Everything is in the past, who knows what was right or wrong in the past? Maybe, back then, you were just young and naive, and my departure was also due to my own youthful ignorance. Who hasn't been young and naive?"

"Right, who hasn't been young and naive." Yang Zi quickly nodded, "So... have you forgiven me now?"

"Haha..." Lin Chuan burst into laughter upon hearing her words.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Zi pouted.

"I'm laughing because you're still young and naive," Lin Chuan laughed heartily.

"You're the one who's young and naive." Yang Zi glared at Lin Chuan, took a handful of white rice, and smeared it on Lin Chuan's face, saying, "Hehe, now you're a big spotted cat."

"Oh, you dare to make a move on me." Lin Chuan was startled, quickly grabbing a handful of white rice and smearing it back onto Yang Zi's face.

Instantly, quite a bit of white rice stuck to Yang Zi's gorgeous face. However, this didn't make her look worse; it instead added a touch of playfulness to her beautiful face. After all, beautiful people remain beautiful no matter what simple clothes they wear, and their spiritual energy can't be concealed. So, no matter how much rice stuck to Yang Zi's face, it could never hide her stunning looks.

"Ah, Lin Chuan, you scoundrel!" Yang Zi exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed aloud.

Yang Zi immediately leaped forward, trying to retaliate against Lin Chuan, trying to smear a bunch of rice onto Lin Chuan's face as well. However, Lin Chuan dodged left and right, not giving Yang Zi any chance.

Their playful antics quickly drew the attention of the crowd around them, with many curiously watching Lin Chuan and Yang Zi.

Handsome men and beautiful women are always the focus of attention wherever they go. Lin Chuan's handsomeness and Yang Zi's beauty attracted many spectators. Despite their playful behavior, the people around them didn't see it as rude at all. Instead, they found their banter quite pleasing to watch. After all, the two of them were highly attractive. If they were replaced by two average-looking people, the crowd might have thought differently, likely criticizing them for being impolite and lacking in etiquette.

"Lin Chuan, my stomach hurts!" Yang Zi suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Lin Chuan was taken aback and asked, "Where?"

Lin Chuan curiously leaned in closer.

At this moment, Yang Zi picked up the plate in her hand and suddenly pressed it onto Lin Chuan's face. Instantly, Lin Chuan took a direct hit, and his face was covered with a lot of rice.

"Hehehe..." Yang Zi immediately burst into laughter, producing a series of sounds as pleasant as ringing bells, making everyone feel incredibly comfortable.

Lin Chuan, however, was quite helpless as he picked the rice off his face one by one and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "These are all the hard-grown crops of the farmers; we can't waste them like that. Otherwise, it's disrespectful to their labor."

"Straight to the moral high ground, huh?" Yang Zi pursed her lips.

"This has nothing to do with morals," Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Alright, you're a saint," Yang Zi chuckled lightly, then raised her glass and said, "Lin Chuan, on to serious matters. Thanks to you this time; if it weren't for you, I'd probably have been sold."

"You should be more careful yourself," Lin Chuan replied, then said, "Someone like Brother Liu Kai, how could you go to him to remove a tattoo?"

"I didn't know he was like that," Yang Zi said with a wry smile. "If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have gone to him."

"Luckily, it's all over," Lin Chuan raised his glass. "We should definitely celebrate a bit."

The two lightly clinked their glasses and then drank them down.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Yang Zi's fair cheeks flushed with a rosy tint, and she smiled contentedly, saying, "Lin Chuan, how should I thank you properly?"

"Between classmates, that's being too polite," Lin Chuan laughed. "There's no need to say thank you. If you really want to thank me, just do well in the future, and don't do worrying things. If I wasn't in the country, you'd have been in trouble."

"That's right," Yang Zi nodded. "If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Haha," Lin Chuan laughed. "That's why one shouldn't do unconscionable things, otherwise..."

"Oh, shut up!" Yang Zi snorted. "I killed Liu Shaoqi, killed his driver, and killed Zhou Bin too, so what? I don't feel guilty at all."

"Uh..." Lin Chuan saw Yang Zi suddenly get emotional. He quickly comforted her, saying, "Don't be agitated, what's there to be agitated about? I didn't say anything to you!"

"Aren't you implying?" Yang Zi snorted softly.

"That's not what I meant!" Lin Chuan chuckled, then said, "Don't misunderstand."

Pfft...

Yang Zi suddenly covered her mouth, laughing, "I was just joking, look how nervous you got. Thought it was something serious. Actually, I was deliberately testing you to see how much I weighed in your mind. Now it seems quite good."

"..." Lin Chuan was speechless and helpless.

"Alright, don't be mad. We're even now," Yang Zi giggled, sat on Lin Chuan's lap, hugged his neck with her left hand, and said, "I rented a room downstairs; what do you think... do you want to stay?"

"Ah?" Lin Chuan was startled and asked, "Why rent a room?"

"Shh... lower your voice!" Yang Zi's face immediately turned red and said, "You want everyone to know we rented a room here?"

"You!" Lin Chuan's eyes widened.

"Come on, follow me," Yang Zi immediately stood up and tugged Lin Chuan outside.

"No!" Lin Chuan hurriedly pulled Yang Zi back and said, "Why not just talk about it here? Why rent a room?"

"You... you bastard!" Yang Zi burst out swearing, gritting her teeth, "Why are you like this? Do you want the whole world to know we've rented a room? Come on, let's go."

Yang Zi got angry, and Lin Chuan had no choice but to follow her toward the elevator.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan seemed to have an illusion as if he was a girl in an entertainment club, and Yang Zi was a boss coming in to spend money. Now, the boss picked up a girl and walked out. Lin Chuan felt very embarrassed and awkward.

The twelfth floor, opening the room, a wave of fragrance hit. The captivating aroma made people feel utterly enchanted, forever unforgettable. Lin Chuan curiously glanced inside and asked, "Is there anyone in here?"

"No!" Yang Zi shook her head and said, "Why are you looking around nervously like I'm going to eat you?"

"No," Lin Chuan shook his head. "If there's no one inside, why is the perfume smell so strong?"

"Because before finding you, I already came here," Yang Zi laughed. "I sprayed perfume, so this place smells like it."

"Oh, no wonder!" Lin Chuan immediately relaxed his guard. The sudden fragrance indeed made one feel puzzled.

Entering the hotel, Lin Chuan habitually glanced left and right but didn't notice anything unusual. However, the hairclip on the dressing table caught Lin Chuan's attention. Yang Zi laughed, "That hairclip was left when I did my hair. Don't mind it. Look how cautious you are!"
