Chapter 208: Sisters Unite, Their Strength Can Cut Through Gold
"Alright, then let's use your camera."
Shen Yuan didn't decline his kind offer, but he did have some mischievous thoughts.
Glasses Guy seemed even happier, immediately pulling out his phone to take photos, his gaze toward Shen Yuan became more affectionate, thinking that in the future this guy would be his brother-in-law.
What was it that he needed to do later?
Right, he needed to start calling him "brother-in-law."
With this thought, Glasses Guy's smile grew even warmer as he lifted his phone and said, "Come on, one, two, three, cheese!"
The other guys in the group cast envious glances; if they were as daring, they wouldn't still be single.
Let alone approaching someone during a trip; they couldn't even speak up when they saw girls from other classes at school.
If they were rejected in public, how embarrassing would that be?
Glasses Guy worried about not taking a good shot and leaving a bad impression, so besides taking a few shots from a standard angle, he also squatted down a bit to take a few more.
This angle not only made them look taller but also included the blue sky and lake in the background.
But just as Glasses Guy pressed the shutter, the guy in front who initially had only his left hand around the sister with sunglasses slowly raised his right hand, wrapping it over the shoulder of the younger sister.
Glasses Guy's lips twitched, and his hand holding the phone became a bit unstable.
That wasn't all; the guy held even tighter, and the girl in front not only didn't show any resistance, but she even tilted her head toward him. Although her cheeks were a bit red, she seemed somewhat happy?
What the hell?
Glasses Guy was furious, his world view shattered, wondering what in the world the relationship between these three was.
Chen Na was focused on the camera lens, revealing a charming smile, oblivious to the movements beside her.
Chen Xinyu's heart was both excited and nervous; excited because her brother-in-law had taken the initiative to hold her,
and nervous because her sister was right there.... Chen Xinyu sneakily glanced using her peripheral vision; luckily, her sister was looking at the camera and didn't notice.
The watching guys twitched their mouths involuntarily. Both sisters for this guy?
Their already unbalanced minds exploded at this moment.
This guy, obviously not only handsome but also wealthy... Still, wasn't he playing it too bold?
Not only doubling the joy, but also enjoying the 'buffed' sisters… No wonder I can't even find a girlfriend; all the resources are taken by this kind of big shot.
Damn it!
At that point, they could only direct their blaming glances toward their photo-taking friend.
It's all your damn fault!
Why did you even offer to take their photo, making us suffer this kind of blow?
Glasses Guy felt very dejected after taking the photos, now just wanting to find a corner to light up a cigarette.
"Buddy, thanks, you're a really nice guy."
Shen Yuan smiled as he took out his phone, opened his QR code, "Please add me on WeChat and send it to me."
Glasses Guy, feeling utterly dispirited, opened the scanner, added him on WeChat, and sent over all the photos.
Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "I also need to trouble you to delete the photos from your phone."
Glasses Guy silently deleted the photos from his gallery and also erased the chat record. Shen Yuan added, "And the 'Recently Deleted' as well, please delete those too."
Glasses Guy uttered an "oh," opened the Recently Deleted folder, and deleted all the photos.
Finally, Shen Yuan transferred 200 yuan to him on WeChat and patted his shoulder, "Thanks, buddy, you're really a nice person."
Glasses Guy, looking at the guy right in front of him, really wanted to curse out loud, but being a well-mannered college student, he just waved his hand gracefully and soon left with his classmates from that heartbreaking place.
Only after walking a few hundred meters away did Glasses Guy swear, "Damn it, just because he has some shit money! What's there to be arrogant about!"
Glasses Guy didn't even want to accept the payment, feeling that the 200 yuan was an insult, and was about to delete him from WeChat when his classmates stopped him.
"Brother Feng, no, no, no, after all, it's 200 yuan. If you don't want it, give it to me."
"You could have a decent meal with 200 yuan, take it, don't fight with money."
"Exactly, exactly."
Listening to his friends' advice, Glasses Guy, who was termed "Brother Feng," reluctantly accepted the payment, then deleted Shen Yuan's WeChat.
"Brother Feng, you earned 200, you should treat us to lunch."
"What you're saying isn't right; Brother Feng earned 200, he'll definitely treat us."
"Yes, I was being narrow-minded, sorry."
"....."
His friends lifted Glasses Guy up, but he felt something wasn't right himself.
There were 5 of them in total, and a meal here would cost at least 300-400; like last night when they hadn't drunk alcohol, they'd spent over 300.
You sons of bitches!
Glasses Guy exploded in anger, "A meal costs at least 300, even if I keep this 200, I'd still have to fork out 100, no wonder you bastards wanted me to accept the payment!"
One of the classmates tried to reason with him, "Bro, you can't calculate it like that."
Someone immediately agreed, "We'll remember your kindness. We've all agreed that when we get back to school, each of us will buy you a bottle of AD calcium drink; sound fair?"
Glasses Guy cursed, "To hell with you!"
...
"Shen Yuan, send me those photos to take a look."
Chen Na, her arm linked with Shen Yuan's, asked softly.
Chen Xinyu felt a jolt in her heart and sneakily glanced at Shen Yuan.
Brother-in-law wouldn't send those photos where he held me to my sister, would he?
Of course, Shen Yuan wouldn't do that, and it wasn't a good time to check the photos carefully in front of Chen Na, so he said, "Alright, I'll send them when we get back."
"Okay then."
Chen Na didn't ask further, and soon took out the bird feed they had bought from her bag, calling Chen Xinyu, "Let's go feed the seagulls."
Shen Yuan took a brief glance at his sister-in-law; he seemed quite normal on the surface, but his gaze was somewhat evasive.
This little miss...not to mention, her shoulders were quite soft.
Chen Xinyu, avoiding Shen Yuan's gaze, timidly responded to Chen Na, "Okay..."
After feeding the seagulls, the three of them strolled around Dian Lake and even took a cable car ride, looking down through the glass at the lake surface at least a hundred meters below, which was quite frightening.
Chen Xinyu was somewhat acrophobic, her expression deathly pale as she dared not look down, while Chen Na was comforting her by gripping her sister's sweaty hand.
At noon, the three of them found a small restaurant nearby for lunch, and in the afternoon, they headed to the old streets of Kuncheng.
Walking along the streets infused with a classical charm, Shen Yuan could still spot quite a few youthful and beautiful girls.
These were mostly high school or college students, as most schools had started their summer vacations, and students were making the most of this period to have fun.
In crowded places, there was never a shortage of beauties, some wearing swaying skirts showing off a section of their calves, others in hot shorts exposing much of their white thighs.
Shen Yuan, whose eyes were adept at discovering beauty, were hidden behind sunglasses and couldn't take it all in.
But looking around, none compared to the siblings by his side.
Nana was intellectual and gentle, Xinyu lively and radiant.
Chen Na, content, was linking arms with Shen Yuan, lifted her fair chin and said, "Shen Yuan, are you tired?"
"Not tired, are you?"
"A bit, let's stroll a little more then head back. I'll send a WeChat to Big Brother Xiang and ask him to come over."
"Okay."
Chen Na immediately sent a WeChat to Old Xiang, then bought three beverages with Chen Xinyu at a drink shop while Shen Yuan went to the restroom.
Sitting at the entrance of the drink shop, Chen Na felt somewhat sentimental.
In the past, embarking on a spontaneous trip like this would have been unimaginable, as taking a week off for a salesperson meant losing at least half a month's salary.
Without money, how could one enjoy life?

But now she no longer needed to hustle for every little bit of silver, and it was all thanks to the Shen Yuan by her side.
Seeing so many student-like tourists, Chen Na couldn't help but glance at Chen Xinyu.
She was actually worried that her sister wouldn't find a good job or a good partner after graduation, leading to a life struggling for money and petty family issues.
Thinking about it, both sisters together might not be impossible?
At least they wouldn't have to worry about making a living, or encountering womanizers or jerks.
What was that saying again?
Sisters with a united heart can cut through metal?
Besides, if Xinyu genuinely liked Shen Yuan, forcibly stopping her might only bring about the opposite effect and could also affect the bond between sisters.
And if Shen Yuan also harbored thoughts about Xinyu... he might feel that she wasn't considerate enough.
But accepting Xinyu being with Shen Yuan, she would always have a knot in her heart and how would she explain it to their parents?
Ah, it really was a headache.
Chen Na sighed softly inside.
Chen Xinyu, noticing her sister's troubled look, then asked, "Sis, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Chen Na glanced at her, gently touched her head, and did not elaborate further.
For now, they could only go with the flow.
Chen Xinyu blinked her beautiful eyes, full of confusion.
Although Chen Xinyu did not know that the cat was out of the bag, she felt somewhat guilty.
Torn between her loving sister and the brother-in-law she fancied, she was worried that her presence would ruin the relationship between her sister and brother-in-law.
Although the brother-in-law's recent actions excited her somewhat, this was followed by guilt towards her sister.
After Shen Yuan came out of the restroom, he chuckled, "What's wrong, both sisters worn out? Looking so wilted?"
Chen Na displayed a faint smile, stood up, and linked arms with Shen Yuan, saying, "Actually, a little tired."
"Then let's head back."
The trio took the Alphard back to the hotel by 6 PM; Shen Yuan had sent a WeChat to Ji Ya early so she already had a table full of sumptuous dishes ready.
Licheng's casserole fish, wild mushroom hotpot, Chilli Chicken, and Yiliang roasted duck were all on Shen Yuan's request, along with some other vegetables and mushrooms whose names Shen Yuan couldn't recall.
The two sisters enjoyed the meal immensely, especially Chen Xinyu, but she still tried to maintain her ladylike demeanor in front of Shen Yuan.
Ji Ya stood by, occasionally flipping the casserole fish and adjusting the heat of the hotpot.
She also noticed something odd, the younger sister kept sneaking glances at Mr. Shen.
The looks were cautious, yet filled with anticipation.
Although not frequent, a close observation made it clear.
Women understand women best, so Ji Ya knew what such a gaze meant.
It was quite evident... the younger sister probably also fancied Mr. Shen.
Ji Ya looked at Miss Chen, who was eating delicately, and considering the emotional intelligence Miss Chen displayed yesterday, she probably wasn't oblivious either.
Upon deeper reflection, Miss Chen might have conceded...
Ji Ya inwardly remarked: Truly a complicated noble family!
She felt slightly distracted internally, wondering if she could accept sharing a husband with a sister.
Probably not?
"Caretaker Ji, have you had dinner?" Shen Yuan suddenly asked Ji Ya, who was standing nearby.
"I haven't yet."
Ji Ya snapped back, showing a professional smile, "I'll just eat later when I get back."
"Have some here; we won't be able to finish all this food anyway,"
Shen Yuan indicated the seat opposite him.
As Ji Ya was about to shake her head to decline, Chen Na also spoke up, "Yes, Caretaker Ji, please sit down and join us. Otherwise, so much food is going to waste."
"Please sit down."
Persuaded by both of them, Ji Ya stopped being hesitant and took the seat opposite Shen Yuan.
But no sooner had she sat down than she felt a foot stretching over to her calf and rubbing back and forth with the top of the foot against her calf.
Ji Ya pursed her moist lips, pretending as if nothing was the matter while reaching for the dishes, but inside she was incredibly nervous.
Mr. Shen, please, both your main wife and mistress are right here! Are you not looking to stay alive? Because I still want to!
