"It’s not cheap, even farm-raised ones cost around seventy or eighty a pound. The boss took me to eat wild ones, which were even more amazing, three times the price of farm-raised ones. Actually, the taste doesn’t differ much; it’s mainly that the texture is better!"

"..."

The two sisters went into the kitchen to cook, while Su Zelin picked up the remote control on the coffee table in the living room, pressed the power button, and the TV screen quickly displayed an image.

He switched to the news channel.

He’s neither into drama nor variety shows; he just loves watching the news every day.

Major events at home and abroad, and even local gossip within the province or Lin’an, could be useful to him.

Information, in modern society, is a powerful weapon.

Especially as someone who’s reborn, the more information he has, the more opportunities there are.

However, there are some things Su Zelin can’t remember and needs the news to give him a hint.

Until the last rays of the sunset disappeared on the horizon, when his stomach started to protest, the dishes were finally served.

The seafood was delicious, but some seafood dishes are indeed quite time-consuming to prepare. Song Yuwei and Song Yutong joined forces and took over an hour to handle this seafood feast.

Since it wasn’t convenient for Su Zelin to stay overnight, and he had to drive back later, he decided not to drink tonight.

Song Yuwei got coconut milk for herself and her little sister and gave Su Zelin a Beibingyang. She knew this brand of soda was his favorite and had stocked quite a few in the fridge.

"Pop!"

As he pried open the Beibingyang cap, white foam instantly spewed out.

Many people love the feeling of carbonated drinks bubbling. Without bubbles, soda loses its soul.

"Ladies, thank you for your hard work!"

Su Zelin raised the Beibingyang in his hand.

"It’s no trouble. Thanks to Brother Ze, this is the first time I’ve been able to eat this kind of seafood!"

Song Yutong had already learned from her older sister that Su Zelin paid for all this seafood.

"It’s nothing, just a little gesture. If you like it, eat more."

Su Zelin smiled.

"Come on, don’t be so formal, alright? It’s not our first time knowing each other!"

Song Yuwei also lifted her coconut milk, "Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The seafood feast was thoroughly enjoyable.

In the end, they didn’t even bother with rice, just drank their beverages.

As they put down their chopsticks, Song Yutong patted her round belly, "Ah, I’m stuffed!"

Song Yuwei felt similarly.

Their craving for seafood was immensely satiated. They ate too much and felt bloated.

After a while, they got up to clean the table, wash the dishes, and then went to the living room to catch up on their TV series.

The two women were following "Princess Returning Pearl 3".

"Princess Returning Pearl 1" and "Princess Returning Pearl 2" had already become sensation nationwide in Xia Country, mainly among female audiences, from teenage girls to seventy or eighty-year-old grandmothers alike.

In July, "Princess Returning Pearl 3" aired in the prime Eagle Theater slot on the popular channel, eagerly anticipated by all.

Song Yuwei and Song Yutong weren’t missing a beat and watched it every night.

However, Su Zelin found it boring. After watching with the sisters for a while, he felt uninterested and, recalling he had a meet-up with Nanaz, he made an excuse to leave.

Even though the show was interesting, Song Yuwei still stood up, "Boss, let me walk you out!"

Song Yutong also bid farewell to Su Zelin, and only after the two left the rented apartment did she return her gaze to the TV screen.

Half an hour later, Song Yuwei returned.

"Sis, why did it take so long?"

Song Yutong seemed puzzled.

One episode of "Princess Returning Pearl 3" was almost over.

"The elevator broke down just now."

Song Yuwei said casually.

"Oh, I see. The elevator in this complex is really unreliable."

Song Yutong also noticed her sister’s face was a bit flushed, and her hair was wet with sweat, but she didn’t give it much thought. It was quite hot in Lin’an during July’s summer, even at night, the air outside was still steaming. It was far more comfortable indoors with the air conditioning on.

After rinsing her mouth and washing her face, Song Yuwei finally sat on the couch to continue watching the series with her sister.

After that episode of "Princess" finished, Song Yutong spoke, "Sis, why didn’t you let Brother Ze stay over tonight?"

Her sudden remark left Song Yuwei dumbfounded.

Although her sister likely guessed about her relationship with Su Zelin, it had never been explicitly discussed.

"Yutong, what are you talking about?"

Song Yuwei stammered.

"You heard right. I meant letting him stay overnight. Sis, you don’t have to hide it from me; I’m not a child anymore. Besides, that night at Pujiang Hotel in Shenghai, when you ran out at midnight, I heard it from next door too. Teehee!"

Song Yuwei was stunned.

Turns out her little sister wasn’t asleep, she was just pretending to be clueless.

"Sis, I never imagined you’re so open!"

Song Yutong giggled.

Running out in the middle of the night to sneak around is unlike the sister she knows, but it shows she truly cared for Brother Ze.

"This cheeky little rascal, daring to tease her sis!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Song Yuwei reached out to tickle her sister’s armpit, knowing that was her weakness.

"No, sis, I won’t dare again, hahaha..."

Song Yutong laughed like a little hen.

After a while, the sisters finally stopped their playful antics.

Song Yutong was almost tickled into collapse on the sofa, only regaining her breath after a while.

"Sis, why don’t you just let Brother Ze stay next time? Otherwise, I’d feel bad coming here in the future, as if I’m intruding."

Song Yutong said earnestly.

She felt she was causing trouble for the two of them.

Last winter break, she came, preventing her sister and her idol from enjoying their time together. Coming again this summer made her feel guilty.

But, the sisters shared a good bond, and during breaks, she wanted to hang out with Song Yuwei.

An alternative was to bring the matter to light early, so they wouldn’t feel like she was the third wheel.

"Let’s talk about it later. I also need to discuss it with the boss."

Since her little sister knew everything, Song Yuwei no longer hid it, and candidly admitted her relationship with Su Zelin.

"Okay, sis. Just rest assured, I will prepare my headphones myself!"

"Still daring to tease me, you’re asking for it!"

"..."
