At the first fork in the road, the men and women separated. At the second fork, Su Hang looked at Shang HeXu and said: "I'm going right."

"Then I'll take the left." Shang HeXu tried to cooperate.

"Alright." Su Hang coldly nodded. He didn't say goodbye and directly left.

"Hey!" Shang HeXu suddenly called out. When Su Hang turned back around, Shang HeXu carefully asked: "If I end up finding Shen Xi before you..."

"Impossible." Su Hang impatiently interrupted. He took a few angry steps towards Shang HeXu and glared at him. "Mr. Shang, I'm married to Shen Xi. You better stop thinking such superfluous thoughts."

"The angrier you get, the more you expose your fear." Shang HeXu chuckled. "You forced Xiao Xi into marrying you for 3 billion yuan. In all honesty, you're worried that she's only good to you because she needs to repay you, right?

"Such things have nothing to do with you." As if he was directly stabbed at his sore spot, Su Hang mercilessly dropped this sentence, then turned around and left.

"I know It has nothing to do with me." Shang HeXu wryly said to himself. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He couldn't help but want to aggravate Su Hang whenever he talked about such things.

On the other side, Shen Xi was had already separated from the other two girls and was aimlessly wandering around town. The temperature difference between night and day was quite significant in the south. It would be sunny during the day and be pretty hot. It was enough to wear a thin coat. But when the sun sets, the temperature would drop rapidly.

Shen Xi deliberately changed into a down coat because of this. However, she was now also wearing Su Hang's scarf around her neck. She was a little hot, but in the end, Shen Xi didn't remove the scarf and only loosened it a little.

Shen Xi had always had a poor sense of direction, so she definitely wouldn't be able to leave on her own. So before they even entered the town, she had already resolved to just wander around until Su Hang came and found her.

The town's buildings had white walls and blue tiles, with the building's eaves covered in vines and flowers. Occasional barks could be heard from alleys. All of this gave her a sense of peace and tranquility. Shen Xi found this stroll to actually be quite pleasant.

"Young girl, do you want to try some?" An auntie selling spicy noodles saw Shen Xi approach, and warmly greeted her.

"Yes." Shen Xi was feeling a bit hungry after her walk.

"You're from out of town?" The auntie chatted with her as she prepared Shen Xi's noodles.

"Yes."

"Travelling?"

"No, to visit some friends." Shen Xi answered.

"Here." Auntie put the noodles on a bowl and set it in front of Shen Xi. "Young girl, try some and see if it's good."

Shen Xi took a bite using some chopsticks and smiled. "Very delicious."

"What do you think, will my business thrive?" The auntie asked.

"You just opened?" Shen Xi asked.

"Yes." The auntie smiled. "Our mayor is planning on developing our town's tourism. A lot of you people came back to start businesses, so I also wanted to try and open a snack bar."

"Oh, well, you won't have any trouble. Your store is sure to become popular." Shen Xi boasted.

"By the way, have you seen the sign near the town gate?" The auntie asked.
