Chapter 1469 Ye Youyou’s Keycard Was Missing
“What?”
“Let’s go!”
…
Li Jinnan took Ye Youyou to many places. The Hawaiian Islands were huge, and each carried their own cla.s.sic attractions. The atmosphere was very grand.
Ye Youyou had not intended to go out sightseeing when she came there for her vacation. She had just wanted to bask in the sun and go for a dip in the sea and while her time away.
As Li Jinnan led her around the whole way, she suddenly found it to be fresh and exciting. From the time they had left the volcano mountain, her stomach had been growling nonstop in hunger. Although they had been snacking throughout, they hadn’t had a proper meal to fill their tummies.
Ye Youyou stroked her starving stomach and commented, “I’m hungry.”
“Let’s go back then.” Li Jinnan was hungry too. He had been hungry for a while. When he saw how much fun Ye Youyou was having, he couldn’t bring himself to cut it short. Only after he heard her say that did he take her back along the path that he had charted beforehand.
Near the hotel was a restaurant that served Western cuisine. Ye Youyou placed her order. She had appetizers. By the time the main course was served, she wasn’t as hungry any longer. She slowly spooned the soup into her mouth as she watched Li Jinnan cut up his steak.
Li Jinnan cut the steak up into bite-sized pieces and held it out to her. Ye Youyou immediately swapped dishes with him. Her uncut steak had been exchanged for one that was already made bite-sized.
She speared her fork into a piece and began to eat. It was delicious. Ye Youyou had an expression of satisfaction as she ate. But, as she chewed her food, she began to doze off.
Li Jinnan noticed it and quickly sped up his eating, never neglecting his table etiquette in spite of it. At last, when he was done, Ye Youyou was still slowly eating as she fought a losing battle with her eyelids.
“Let’s go back to the hotel,” Li Jinnan said.
When Ye Youyou heard that, she quickly hunched over her dinner plate and protested, “But I’m not done eating!”
Li Jinnan didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry as he replied, “You’re so tired as it is, and you still want to finish it? Don’t eat too much before sleeping. It’s not good for your digestion.”
“I’ll fight my way through it,” Ye Youyou declared before eating another two mouthfuls. She took a sip of water to wash the food down and realized that her stomach was already filled to the brim.
Li Jinnan stopped smiling and said, “Let’s go.”
Ye Youyou put her fork down grudgingly and stood up.
Perhaps it was because it had been such an exhausting day, but she was so tired that she couldn’t even walk steadily. Her body wobbled. She almost fell.
At that crucial moment, Li Jinnan rushed forward to steady her. Ye Youyou’s body fell firmly into his embrace. The heat from his male body emanated out. It was so warm.
Ye Youyou was exhausted. She straightened up and forced herself to keep walking forward.
Li Jinnan followed quietly behind her and settled the bill before leaving with her.
Just as Ye Youyou was about to return to her room, she suddenly realized something that was very important. In a panic, she exclaimed, “Oh no!”
“What’s wrong?” Li Jinnan rarely saw her this fl.u.s.tered and found it novel.
“My bag is missing,” she said. “My keycard, pa.s.sport, and cell phone are all inside!”
It was Li Jinnan’s first time realizing that Ye Youyou had even been carrying such a thing around. The bag was only as big as a cell phone, and it was very inconspicuous.
Ye Youyou began to panic. “Oh no! How did that happen? Does that mean I can’t go back now? My pa.s.sport is inside!”
“That won’t happen,” he said. “Try to recall where you last left it. We’ll go back to look for it.”
Ye Youyou was stumped. “I have no idea…”
