Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Chapter 22 Hotpot (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Are you here to pick up Accountant Jiang after work?"

Shen Siyuan was also sowhat surprised to see Tao Guangsha.

Tao Guangsha nodded without denying it, but imdiately added, "Mr. Shen, are you free tonight? Dou Dou's mother and I would like to invite you to dinner."

"Another invitation?"

Shen Siyuan then realized, it was not to pick up Jiang Wenxin from work, he was specifically waiting for him.

But today was not possible, he had already made plans with Jiang Tingyu.

"We are going out to eat tonight, I booked a table at Yunding Restaurant."

Yunding Restaurant, the tallest restaurant in Bin Hai City, not only provides a view of the ocean from the dining area but also an excellent panoramic view of Yulong Bay.

Of course, the price was definitely not cheap, Shen Siyuan had only seen it on TikTok and had never dined there.

Honestly, Shen Siyuan was indeed curious about the place, but he could not go back on his word.

So he directly shook his head, "I can't tonight, I have plans with soone."

"That so..." Tao Guangsha's face showed disappointnt.

Shen Siyuan chuckled lightly, perford a hand gesture, and then a Yin Wind rose from the ground, circulating around Tao Guangsha like a mischievous sprite.

"Dou Dou?"

Tao Guangsha's face lit up with joy, casting an inquiring look at Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan nodded and then said, "Alright, let's dine together so other ti, I have to go now."

With that, he entered the opened elevator.

As the Banner Master of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, even if Dou Dou was miles away, he could summon her anyti, anywhere.

Shen Siyuan was confident letting Dou Dou wander around, not worried about her revealing herself, hurting others, or causing trouble because of the Soul Banner, his word was essentially a command for Dou Dou.

Even though Dou Dou was still a child, she would never go against his word.

Shen Siyuan got to the ground floor, hailed a cab, and rushed to the place he had agreed to et Jiang Tingyu.

As for his electric scooter, he had to leave it at the company; Lin Manzhi had driven her car today, so he couldn't ask her to ride it back.

The place where Shen Siyuan and Jiang Tingyu were eting was a hotpot restaurant nad "Old Qiao."

Shen Siyuan chose the place; he had dined there a few tis before and found the taste quite good, and since Jiang Tingyu was a girl from Sichuan, hotpot was undoubtedly suitable to her taste.

Indeed, Jiang Tingyu did not object to Shen Siyuan's suggestion and agreed imdiately.

Shen Siyuan got off work at six o'clock, but due to the evening rush hour, by the ti he reached the hotpot restaurant, it was almost seven o'clock.

Jiang Tingyu had already arrived, sitting quietly and browsing her phone while waiting.

"Jiang Tingyu?" Shen Siyuan walked over and tentatively asked.

Upon hearing him, Jiang Tingyu lifted her head, her eyes like autumnal water, eyebrows like distant mountains, cheeks plump, nose prominent, and her hair was tied up high, giving her a neat and tidy appearance.

She smiled, nodded, and said, "Shen Siyuan?"

"Yes, that's , sorry to have kept you waiting."

"No problem, I arrived early; we're still ahead of our scheduled ti." Jiang Tingyu put away her phone.

Shen Siyuan sat down opposite her, looked at the empty table, and asked, "Haven't ordered yet?"

"No, I didn't know if you had any dietary restrictions, so I didn't order."

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan scanned a QR code with his phone, opened the ordering app, and then handed his phone to her saying, "Order whatever you like, let's eat and talk."

Jiang Tingyu didn't stand on ceremony, took the phone, and asked at the sa ti, "Can you eat spicy?"

"I can."

"I guess I won't order the yin-yang hotpot then, just the red soup?"

"No problem," Shen Siyuan said.

Then, while the other was ordering, he took the opportunity to size her up again.

She was wearing an off-shoulder round-neck blouse, revealing her delicate collarbone and rounded shoulders. While beautiful, she seed rather slender.

Even though she was seated, her upper body suggested she was at least one hundred and seventy centiters tall.

Jiang Tingyu handed back the phone to Shen Siyuan and asked with a grin, "Do I look good? Are you satisfied?"

Clearly, she noticed Shen Siyuan sizing her up, causing him a slight embarrassnt.

So, he said, "You are beautiful."

Then he lowered his head to see what Jiang Tingyu had ordered.

Jiang Tingyu, unabashed, also took the chance to closely examine Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan added a few more plates of at, then chose to place the order, put away the phone, looked at her, and used her earlier words, "Do I look good? Are you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tingyu laughed and said, "Since it's a blind date, naturally we should get a clear look at each other."

Jiang Tingyu's personality was very straightforward. When she laughed, her white teeth showed, making her look bright and bold.

"But are you really 26? You don't look it at all."

Jiang Tingyu stared intensively at Shen Siyuan, especially at his eyes, which were as clear as autumn waters, sparkling, making it almost impossible for her to look away.

"Authentic, how could I deceive you?"

"But you look much younger than your actual age, how do you keep your appearance?" Jiang Tingyu exclaid sowhat admiringly.

"Maintain my appearance? I'm a big man, I don't have ti for that. It's just natural youthful looks."

"Your eyes are really beautiful. They say eyes are the windows to the soul. With such beautiful eyes, you must be a good person, too," Jiang Tingyu said, still staring at Shen Siyuan.

"Is that considered a 'nice guy' card?" Shen Siyuan joked.

Then he continued, "You're also very beautiful. There must be many people chasing after you. Why have you ended up on a blind date?"

Jiang Tingyu didn't answer that question, instead she countered, "What about you?"

"Because I'm poor, yet I still want to eat hotpot," Shen Siyuan said.

Jiang Tingyu burst out laughing, understanding the implication in Shen Siyuan's words, which ant being poor hence having no girlfriend, and hence he was on the blind date to find soone to eat hotpot with.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Shen Siyuan pressed.

"If I say I haven't t the right one, you'd think I'm just making excuses, but that's actually the truth. Of course, there's another reason..." Jiang Tingyu said.

Shen Siyuan was listening attentively when she suddenly stopped.

"Sorry." She obviously didn't want to go into details.

Shen Siyuan shook his head, showing understanding.

Seeing Shen Siyuan being so magnanimous, Jiang Tingyu felt a bit embarrassed.

"I just..."

She wanted to explain but didn't know how to begin.

"You don't need to explain. Not everything needs a reason, nor does everything require an explanation to outsiders."

"Thank you~" Jiang Tingyu was very grateful and expressed her thanks.

Hearing this, Shen Siyuan was montarily stunned, then he laughed inwardly.

The person Lin Manzhi introduced was quite reliable. From their current conversation, Jiang Tingyu truly seed to be a good girl.

Thus, Shen Siyuan's impression of her got even better, but he also sensed that Jiang Tingyu didn't actually intend to engage in a romantic relationship at present, probably attending the blind date out of obligation to Lin Manzhi.

However, the two enjoyed their hotpot together, chatting rrily, with Shen Siyuan sharing amusing tales from his gaming company and her sharing various encounters from her work at the aquarium.
