Raising Bean Buns, Not Me

On their way away from the observation deck, they encountered many couples holding hands and whispering sweet nothings to each other, but it was as if there was a galaxy separating them, so far apart that they didn't touch each other.

The two rode their bicycles around the natural lake.

You won't believe it until you go out and explore; a whole afternoon will be gone in no time.

Yan Xu was so tired that his legs ached and he couldn't pedal the bicycle anymore: "I can't ride anymore, let's push it back."

Her voice was weak and listless, she was so tired that she was about to collapse.

Even Shen Yi, who regularly works out, felt his body couldn't keep up, let alone Yan Xu, who had just recovered.

He parked his bicycle on the side of the road, walked over to Yan Xu, and held the handlebars: "Let go, give it to me."

"Oh." Yan Xu didn't understand, but did as instructed.

Shen Yi put her two bicycles together with his own so he could push both at once.

"Are you sure you can manage like this?" Yan Xu was worried that the person and the cart would tip over. "Should I do it myself?"

Actually, she could still hold on.

Shen Yi didn't return the bicycle to her; instead, he gripped the handlebars even tighter.

Shen Yi said casually, "What do you mean by 'can I do it'? You think I can't... doubt my abilities?"

Is that what she meant?

This person started arguing again.

Yan Xu let him have his way: "Anyway, if he falls later, it won't be me who gets hurt."

If they won't listen to reason, then so be it.

"Hmm." Shen Yi knew she was thinking of him, but this woman's words were as blunt as bullets, devoid of any warmth. "Next time, just say to me, 'Then I'll leave it to you~ Brother Shen Yi,' okay?"

I'll teach her step by step how to be affectionate with her partner.

The sound of "Brother Shen Yi" made Yan Xu feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yan Xu declined, saying, "If you really want to listen, then train Doubao, not me. I can't do that."

She may never be able to act coquettishly or sweetly in her entire life.

Bean bag…

I can't believe she came up with that.

Falling in love with a woman who doesn't understand romance might be a punishment for someone like him who loves rituals.

Anyway, the way he likes to get along is all Yan Xu's no-go zone.

It's a red line that can't be touched or stepped on.

When Shen Yi returned the car, Yan Xu received a call from Xiao Tong, who sounded very anxious: "Sister Yan Xu! A customer lost something and is insisting that we took it. He's going to call the police now."

"What should we do! Sister Yanxu, how can we possibly take the guests' things?"

Xiaotong became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and almost burst into tears.

Yan Xu lowered his voice and calmly reassured her, "I'll be right back. Tell the guests that they can call the police, and we will cooperate fully with the police investigation."

Xiao Tong's voice was a little hoarse: "Um... come back soon."

Shen Yi came over and saw that Yan Xu's expression was not right, and he looked very serious, as if something had happened.

Shen Yi asked her anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Yan Xu hung up the phone and started hailing a ride online: "A guest at Zhenyunxuan lost something, saying that Xiaotong and her group took it. I need to get back quickly."

The most difficult thing to prove is that something was stolen from a guesthouse room.

If something is missing from the front desk, at least there's CCTV footage to prove it, but if something is missing from inside the room, no one has any evidence to prove its existence.

There are no security cameras, so whether anything is stolen or not depends entirely on what the customer says.

Shen Yi raised his hand and patted her head: "It's okay, what's fake can't become real."

Yan Xu looked up, their eyes met, and he gave a firm "Mmm."

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at Zhenyun Pavilion.

The front desk was surrounded by a lot of people, and it was in complete chaos.

"Make way!" Shen Yi cleared a path for Yan Xu. "Excuse me!"

Yan Zheng, being tall, quickly spotted Yan Xu in the crowd and beckoned her over: "Boss, over here!"

Some of the guests were saying, "The boss has finally arrived. How are we supposed to stay here if this isn't resolved?"

"Exactly, there's absolutely no security. Who would dare to live here?"

"When did China become as chaotic as Europe? Is it some kind of free shopping spree?"

Shen Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced at the chattering group and warned, "Before everything is investigated, every word you say is slander and fabrication."

"Shut up if you don't want a lawsuit!"

Yan Xu walked up to the person involved and calmly said, "Hello, I am the owner of Zhenyunxuan. What did you lose, and when was the last time you saw it?"

The customer who lost his things was a young man, about the same age as Yan Xu. He was momentarily stunned when he saw Yan Xu's refined and otherworldly appearance.

Yan Xu raised his voice: "Hello! Please cooperate with me."

The young guest's attitude softened considerably, and he was no longer aggressive: "A watch worth over 20,000 yuan, which I just bought in Yunzhao County, disappeared after I put it in my suitcase. I only opened the suitcase in the room."

The young customer opened his phone and showed his payment record.

Yan Xu glanced at the payment amount, payment time, and the receiving store.

Indeed, as he said, it was bought in Yunzhao County, and just three hours ago.

The surrounding customers whispered among themselves: "Bring out all the evidence and let's see how they explain themselves."

"Twenty thousand yuan is enough to warrant filing a case."

There was a constant buzzing in my ears—

Shen Yi glared at him fiercely again.

One of them disagreed: "What a waste that he's so handsome, he's so fierce."

Shen Yi remained silent: "..."

Yan Xu handed the phone back to him, as calmly as if she'd just tossed away a feather duster. She asked, "Did you call the police?"

The young guest was taken aback by her calm demeanor and shook his head: "No, I've been waiting for the guesthouse owner to come back and handle it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xu dialed 110 without hesitation: "Hello, a theft has occurred at Zhenyun Pavilion. A watch worth over 20,000 yuan has been stolen. Could you please come and investigate?"

After reporting the incident to the police, Yan Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression remained calm and unchanged.

Now it was Yan Xu's turn to ask the guest in return: "Everyone has their own expertise. Since the police are here to investigate, do you have any questions now?"

The young customer didn't expect this woman to be so bold; she immediately called the police, not even worried that it might be a shop employee who stole the items and disrupt her business.

"No," the young customer said somewhat sheepishly. "I might have forgotten it somewhere; it's not necessarily your staff who stole it."

Yan Xu scoffed: "Isn't it too early to change your tune now? If it's your own fault that my employees have been wronged, I will sue you for defamation and demand compensation for their emotional distress."

She was resolute; she would not compromise on the outcome in the face of such illegal and unethical conduct.

If it's true, it's true; if it's false, then apologize.

Shen Yi stood by and watched Yan Xu handle the situation the entire time.

It must be said that her decisive and straightforward personality is very suitable for being a business owner; she is more capable of taking on major responsibilities than many male entrepreneurs.

Seeing that the owner had called the police himself, the onlookers' speculations about Zhenyunxuan dissipated, and everyone tacitly remained silent.

Xiao Tong, Yan Zheng, and Aunt Chen were finally relieved.

It still takes the boss to step in and resolve these issues. They lack the courage and ability to handle these problems and are in a state of panic.

Yan Xu glanced around at the guests and said, "There's nothing to see here. Everyone, please leave so the police don't take you to the station as witnesses to give your statements later."

After the words were spoken, everyone felt uneasy. Some wanted to go back to their rooms, while others wanted to go out. No one wanted to stay in the front hall and join in the fun.

"I'll check who entered your room after you checked in." Yan Xu walked to the computer at the bar and started reviewing the surveillance footage.

The young customer looked flustered: "Forget it, it's gone, it's gone. It's too much trouble."

"It's too late." Yan Xu smiled knowingly, "I don't mind the trouble."

If this matter isn't thoroughly investigated, then Zhenyunxuan is the biggest suspect.

She couldn't let herself be made a scapegoat.

The surveillance footage showed that the guest checked into the room with a suitcase and left, returning about half an hour later. During that time, Aunt Chen went in once.

However, Aunt Chen put out two packs of tissues as requested by the customer.

Yan Xu looked up and asked, "Where did you go in the middle of the trip?"

The young customer stammered, his eyes glazed over: "I was just wandering around aimlessly and forgot where I went."

"It's alright, there are surveillance cameras on the streets of the scenic area." Yan Xu made up his mind.

Shen Yi received a text message from Xiao Yuanyang: [Aunt Gong is sick, come back quickly!]

"I have an urgent matter to attend to, so I'm leaving first." Before Yan Xu could ask what it was about, Shen Yi had already run out of Zhenyun Pavilion.

While hailing a taxi, Shen Yi called home: "Answer the phone! Someone come quick!"

Even when Shen's mother is very busy, she will always answer his calls. This is the first time that no one has answered the phone.

Yan Xu stared at the direction where his figure disappeared, feeling uneasy.

With the incident at Zhenyun Pavilion, Shen Yi also has his own problems.

What a coincidence.
