Chapter 66 This was actually a staged accident!

Fu Yingzhou ran a hand through his thick, jet-black short hair. His hair was neat yet slightly disheveled, perfectly framed by his scalp, each strand seemingly brimming with life, dancing gently in the light rain and breeze. A few stray hairs fell across his forehead, adding a touch of casualness and languor. As he approached, every gesture exuded elegance and confidence. His slender figure was perfectly proportioned—broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long, straight legs—his steps light yet steady, radiating an invisible aura that drew people in effortlessly. Whether in a simple shirt or crisp black suit trousers, he always wore a unique sense of style, radiating an irresistible charm.

Shi Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Beauty is a man's best dowry."

"Do you need an umbrella?" Fu Yingzhou asked.

"Yes, I need it." No matter how excited Shi Shi was inside, she had to maintain a calm demeanor. The main point was that while Shi Shi had fewer words, Shi Shi had even fewer.

Fu Yingzhou took another step forward: "I can lend it to you."

The distance between the two closed again. She, who was tall among girls, looked like a small rabbit in front of him.

"Thank you?" Shishi reached out and took the umbrella. She placed her hand under Fu Yingzhou's hand holding the umbrella.

I tried to pick it up but couldn't move it.

Shishi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The two were standing so close that Fu Yingzhou could faintly smell Shi Shi's fragrance in the air. It was a very sweet scent, probably a fruity perfume. Up close, it was hard to imagine that this was a divorced woman.

Yes, a girl. He couldn't bring himself to use terms like "woman" or "divorced woman" to describe the person in front of him. It was as if the divorce hadn't left her with even a trace of sadness. Looking at this little one's soft and cuddly appearance, she seemed to have a gentle exterior but a strong interior.

"I only have one umbrella, but I'll give it to you."

The two walked towards the teaching building under one umbrella. Shishi felt that she was absolutely bewitched by the handsome man today. Normally, she would refuse in this situation because she didn't want unnecessary rumors. Although she wasn't afraid of such things, she hated trouble.

Fu Yingzhou's umbrella was only for one person, not enough to cover two people; to be precise, he was getting soaked. The umbrella only covered half of his body. Rainwater soaked through his shoulders. His hair was also dripping wet. Even though he was a mess, his handsome face was still very attractive.

It wasn't until Fu Yingzhou mentioned the word "compensation" that Shi Shi snapped out of her daze, staring at him with a completely bewildered expression.

"Comrade, we have something we need to discuss seriously. It involves compensation that I am entitled to and my personal injury."

Shi Shi: ...

Was the wind too strong? Did it hurt my ears?

"What did you say??"

Fu Yingzhou looked at her very sincerely: "Because you wanted to borrow an umbrella, I had to walk you part of the way. As a result, my trench coat got soaked. The coat has to be taken to the dry cleaners. And I might catch a fever and a cold from being caught in the rain today, which would affect my work afterwards. Comrade, do you think it's reasonable for me to ask for some compensation?"

Shishi felt like her brain wasn't working properly. She even secretly asked Binglu, "Was that the umbrella I was supposed to borrow?"

Binglu: "He brought it up himself! This must be what you humans call 'extortion by hitting someone'!" I've learned something new again!

"What compensation do you want?" He was dressed so smartly, but she hadn't expected to be so mistaken! Are people now dressing like this to stage accidents? Such a handsome man, what couldn't he do? Even finding a rich woman would be less risky than this. It's only because she's easy to talk to; if it were any other guy, he'd probably get a beating. Shi Shi resigned herself to her bad luck.

"I'll skip the dry cleaning fee, but if I catch a cold later, the damage to my body will be irreversible."

This was the first time Shishi had ever seen someone lie so smoothly: "You were the one who wanted to lend me the umbrella."

"Yes, so this compensation depends entirely on conscience."

Got it, so not going along with him is considered heartless?

What do you want?

"Because I lent you my umbrella, I got caught in the rain. Because I got caught in the rain, I might get a fever. Because I might get a fever, I need to nourish my body. Food is worse than medicine, so you can treat me to a meal."

After going through all this trouble, you just want me to have dinner with him? Dude, do you even know your own face? Looking like that, do you really need to go through all this trouble to invite someone to dinner? Looks like your road to social connections is going to be very bumpy. You might even be mistaken for a simp before!

"No problem! I'm fine with eating as many meals as I want!" If she dawdled any longer, she would really be late! Luckily, she was used to leaving a little early.

Fu Yingzhou successfully added Shi Shi's contact information. He was very satisfied with today's trip. Watching Shi Shi's departing figure, a sly smile appeared on Fu Yingzhou's lips. Zhang Feng's advice was indeed reliable; he said not to approach girls rashly, as it might scare them away. Being reasonable and well-founded would prevent them from being offended. Once they had a chance to meet, he could slowly and steadily win them over, wouldn't that work?

If Zhang Feng knew that Fu Yingzhou would use his suggestion in this way, he would be furious.

Fu Yingzhou was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his approach to the other person today.

While secretly gloating, Shi Shi didn't suspect her own ulterior motives at all! How natural!

He seemed oblivious to his soaking wet half-body, his steps light and quick. His mind wandered; the Kyoto TV station's equipment must be terrible, only capturing a 3 out of 10 of Shi Shi's beauty. She was clearly much more vibrant and alive in person!

It's a pity that Shishi didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely have teased him for having the face of a king but actually being a bronze-level player.

Back in the car, Fu Yingzhou couldn't wait to open Shishi's WeChat Moments and start browsing.

First pinned post

I'm planning to get a dog soon, do you have any recommendations for breeds that are suitable for free-roaming?

Fu Yingzhou looked at this post on WeChat Moments and seemed to be deep in thought.

He remembered that Zhang Feng had a dog farm with many different breeds of dogs. Fu Yingzhou's greatest strength was his decisiveness, and he immediately dialed Zhang Feng's number.

"Come with me to the dog farm when the rain stops."

"You want a dog?"

"Yes, I want a dog that can roam freely."

The rain was getting heavier, and Zhang Feng, who was working outside, couldn't hear the pattering rain very clearly. So he mistook a free-roaming dog for a sheep herding dog.

"You don't need to go. I have some good breeds to recommend. Whenever you want them, I'll send the puppies over to you."

"Today."

"Wow, so urgent! I might have to work overtime. I'll have someone prepare the dog; you can come and pick it up."

After the two hung up the phone, Zhang Feng called the person in charge of the dog farm: "Brother Fu will be over in a bit, so you can take my top-quality Tibetan Mastiff for him."
