At 5:30 in the afternoon, Ning Yuhuan's part-time job was off work.

After getting eighty yuan, Ning Yuhuan wrapped her arms around Xu Lin's arm and came out.

"Eighty yuan in hand!"

Ning Yuhuan said happily, "Honey, what do you want to eat? It's on me!"

"It's up to you!"

Xu Lin thought to himself, I can't really suggest a big feast.

This meal was Ning Yuhuan offering to treat, she had been saving little by little, so it's not quite right to let her spend several hundred in one go on a meal.

Unless they go to a small restaurant, two or three dishes might be under a hundred, or at most a little over a hundred, and Northeastern dishes are known for their large portions.

Xu Lin planned to take her for a big meal next time.

Although he didn't have much on him now, he had hundreds of thousands lying around, just for eating some good food, this sum could last him a long time.

Even if each meal cost a few thousand, it could be squandered for a good while.

And next month, Xu Lin's first royalty check would come in, no less than a few hundred thousand. It's all money from rewards; the novel hasn't even been published yet.

Speaking of which, Xu Lin recently watched short videos and saw king crab.

He wanted to find a time to try king crab.

His senior is frugal, and eating something too expensive would distress her, and she'd also feel bad about Xu Lin spending money.

Their spending habits were completely different.

"Then let's walk around and see what to eat!"

Ning Yuhuan hugged Xu Lin's arm.

They arrived at a nearby shopping mall.

This wasn't a bustling city area but another district in Jiangdu, so the mall wasn't luxurious, but it had a strong sense of life.

At this time in the afternoon, office workers were already off work, and many people, bringing their families, were out, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Ning Yuhuan was treating tonight, so she pulled Xu Lin into the mall.

She walked around and saw many restaurants.

"How about we have hotpot?"

Ning Yuhuan looked expectant.

Xu Lin smiled and said, "Hotpot isn't just eighty, you know!"

"Three hundred!"

Ning Yuhuan held up three fingers, indicating she planned to spend three hundred on the treat.

"Three hundred, are you sure?"

"Definitely!"

"Alright, it's a deal then, senior!"

"Anyway, I won't let you go hungry!"

Subsequently, they entered this Chaozhou beef hotpot restaurant.

Hotpots are pretty much the same nationwide, basically not much difference, just depends on whether the beef is genuine.

Xu Lin and they ordered a half-spicy, half-clear broth pot, four plates of beef, a portion of beef balls, and some random side dishes.

Mostly it was Xu Lin eating, as Ning Yuhuan couldn't eat much.

Fortunately, the beef in this hotpot restaurant tasted good, at least it wasn't low-quality beef.

When it was time to pay, the total was 326.

Seeing Ning Yuhuan settle the bill, Xu Lin leaned over and asked, "Do you feel the pinch?"

"Not at all! I feel very happy!"

Ning Yuhuan held Xu Lin's hand and said, "In a relationship, we should both contribute a little, otherwise, if you're always the one spending a lot, I won't feel good."

Xu Lin didn't know if Ning Yuhuan counted as what's called a "treasure girl" on the internet.

As night fell, the city lights came on.

After leaving the mall, the two strolled for another half an hour.

Lastly, Xu Lin found a hotel nearby with a price just over five hundred, similar to last time, but the room was a bit bigger, and Xu Lin liked the decor, so he chose this one.

"Honey, do you think I smell like hotpot?"

After entering, Ning Yuhuan sniffed at her clothes, feeling like she had a hotpot smell.

"Smell me and see if I have it too?"

Xu Lin had Ning Yuhuan come over and sniff him.

Ning Yuhuan shook her head, "You still have that sweet scent!"

Ning Yuhuan was familiar with Xu Lin, knowing the scent on him was quite unique, sweet and charming, and hugging Xu Lin as she slept felt especially safe and comfortable.

"So, no hotpot smell?"

"No!"

Ning Yuhuan shook her head again, asking Xu Lin to see if she smelled like hotpot.

Xu Lin leaned in to sniff.

"A little!"

"Ah!"

Ning Yuhuan hurriedly said, "Then I'll take a shower first!"

Ning Yuhuan liked to stay clean, and hearing Xu Lin say she had a hotpot smell made her worried.

"Senior, I'm just kidding, really no hotpot smell."

"No way, I must take a shower!"

"Alright then, go get squeaky clean, I'll wait for you!"

"You big perv!"

Ning Yuhuan glared at him.

Xu Lin chuckled without saying a word.

Though Ning Yuhuan was a girl, she didn't dawdle in the shower like other girls, like Chi Linyue, who would take over half an hour.

Oh, and his mom, Ms. Ren.

Xu Lin remembered Ms. Ren also taking over half an hour each time she showered.

This was something Xu Lin, as a guy, could never understand growing up.

Mind you, for guys, if a shower takes ten minutes, that's considered long, and in cold weather, it might take just a minute or two, just enough to rinse off before coming out.

However, one must first exclude the bathroom singers from this special group.

Ning Yuhuan wasn't slow in showering, taking just over ten minutes.

When she came out, she saw Xu Lin already stripped and laying back against the headboard.

Ning Yuhuan took one look, and her pretty face turned crimson, reflexively covering her face with both hands.

As for what Ning Yuhuan was wearing at that moment.

She had her long hair tied up, wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her beautiful swan neck, delicate collarbone, and fair shoulders.

At that moment, Ning Yuhuan looked like a lotus just out of water, enchanting.

Xu Lin didn't say a word, just patted his thigh.

Hearing the patting sound, Ning Yuhuan still covered her cheeks, but her body moved over, eventually climbing onto the bed.

Xu Lin's thigh patting was a signal for Ning Yuhuan to come over.
