Chapter 84 Fireworks Tempt the Heart

Although it was late, Shi Shi still couldn't sleep. She went to the living room, poured herself a glass of red wine, and took out her phone, intending to share it with someone nearby. She opened her chat with Xinran. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly remembered that Xinran's game was currently in closed beta testing, and she was incredibly busy. "Never mind," she thought, "I shouldn't bother her."

I sent Shen He a "Are you there?" emoji. No response. A night owl sleeping so early? Great, looks like she's 'busy'.

She felt a sense of unease, as if she hadn't shared her joy with anyone. Almost unconsciously, she opened her chat window with Fu Yingzhou.

!! !! !!

A message appeared at the top of the dialog box: "The other party is typing..."

—Still awake?! The accompanying picture is so shocking I had to pick my nose.

Fu Yingzhou replied instantly.

—Waiting to congratulate you.

Before Shi Shi could reply, Fu Yingzhou made a phone call.

Are you sleepy?

"Not sleepy at all, I'm incredibly energetic right now!"

"Come on, I'll take you to celebrate."

"It's so late. Don't you have to work tomorrow?" Although Shi Shi knew that Fu Yingzhou was of a high rank, she had never been in contact with high-ranking officials and didn't know that Fu Yingzhou had long since moved beyond the typical nine-to-five work schedule.

"Take a day off tomorrow and come downstairs. I'll stay outside."

She ran to the window, and sure enough, there was a silver-gray car parked outside the villa. She quickly put on a white, fluffy long dress and hurried out.

She drank a large glass of red wine and ran in a hurry. When she sat in the car, her whole face was flushed an unnatural red.

Just as Fu Yingzhou was about to ask if she had a fever, he smelled a faint scent of alcohol on her.

He frowned: "You've been drinking?"

When Fu Yingzhou has a serious expression, he looks a lot like a high school dean of students.

Don't you like drinking?

Seeing Shi Shi's aggrieved look, Fu Yingzhou had no choice but to soften his voice: "Drinking alcohol and then being exposed to the wind will give you a headache. It's not that I don't like drinking, I'm just worried about you."

People who are coaxed usually take advantage of the situation.

"I don't care, you said you'd take me to celebrate. Runrun broke her promise." This was the first time someone had acted coquettishly towards him, and Fu Yingzhou found it quite novel.

"Let's go. But if you have a headache tomorrow, you'll have to be punished."

After driving for about an hour, just as Shi Shi was starting to doze off, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"We've arrived, wake up."

Shi Shi opened her eyes groggily, and the outside environment really startled her.

"You're not going to kill someone and bury the body, are you?"

Fu Yingzhou was so angry he laughed: "Come down and get my dismemberment tools."

When Shi Shi saw the fireworks in the trunk, she immediately understood what he meant by the way to celebrate.

The original owner of this body had watched fireworks with her ex-husband. Compared to Fu Zhixu's blindfolded surprise and flirtatious words, Fu Yingzhou was noticeably more old-fashioned. But this didn't affect Shi Shi's good mood.

This fireworks display belongs only to her.

How did you know?

"You mentioned it before. I don't have dementia, how could I not remember?" Perhaps he spoke too matter-of-factly. Shi Shi calmed down instead.

Searching her memory thoroughly, Shi Shi finally remembered that there was such a thing; she had only mentioned it briefly. It felt strangely nice to be cared about!

"If I don't text you, how long are you planning to stand at the door?"

"I probably won't stay all night. I guess if you don't respond to me for two hours, I should leave."

How utterly clueless! Can't you just tell me a little white lie?

Although she muttered very softly, the mountain was quiet at night, and the mountain breeze carried Shishi's words into Fu Yingzhou's ears.

"I will not lie to you."

Although she felt that Fu Yingzhou couldn't do it, she wouldn't criticize someone else's statement.

Knowing Shi Shi wouldn't believe him, Fu Yingzhou offered no explanation. Time will tell, and promises must stand the test of time.

Shi Shi wanted to help move the fireworks, but a piece of clothing was thrown at her head.

"Put it on quickly. Hold it and play with it for now," he said, handing her a sparkler.

This is treating her like a child. Who would rather be a child than an adult?

She happily lit the sparkler and followed Fu Yingzhou up the mountain.

They arrived at a flat clearing halfway up the mountain, where they found the surrounding area filled with bricks and stones, with little vegetation. Fu Yingzhou lit fireworks.

"Wishing my Shi Shi a huge success with her first self-produced album."

The mountain breeze was slightly chilly at night. Fu Yingzhou looked at her with shining eyes as he spoke, his hands in the pockets of his coat. The black coat hung loosely on his shoulders. Shi Shi felt that this godlike face seemed somewhat unreal. His legs were so long. Could he just lift one leg and leave this place?

Are you 1.9 meters tall?

Fu Yingzhou couldn't help but sigh, seemingly surprised by how quickly Shishi's thoughts jumped around. Women are truly unfathomable creatures.

"I'm not 1.9 meters tall. In fact, my height is only 185 cm."

That's quite tall! Besides, who can walk barefoot all day? Rounding it up, it's roughly 1.9 meters, isn't it?

She's only a little over 1.7 meters tall even in heels! That makes her look a bit weak. She quietly tiptoed a couple of times, trying to gauge her height, and went over to Fu Yingzhou.

Such a small action, of course, did not escape Fu Yingzhou's eyes. When Shi Shi tiptoed again, he pulled her into his arms.

Do you think the stars are beautiful tonight?

Shi Shi nodded: "They're beautiful. They look so small, yet so bright. They're so pretty!"

"I think it's just average, because compared to them, the most dazzling one is right here in my arms."

Noticing the silence of the person in his arms, Fu Yingzhou looked down.

Their eyes met, and Shishi blurted out, "Have you been reading some kind of collection of love quotes lately?"

Silence is the Cambridge of tonight. There is no bridge here, but as long as Fu Yingzhou's embarrassment is enough, it can become a bridge.

"Knowing too much will get you silenced."

To silence someone literally.

Even after they descended the mountain, Shi Shi ignored him completely. Seeing that Shi Shi was still pouting, her bright red lips silent, Fu Yingzhou had no choice but to coax her again and again.

You can't blame him, it was just so delicious that he couldn't stop eating!

After a whole night of fussing, by the time Shishi got home, it was already dawn. Despite not having slept a wink, she wasn't sleepy at all. Since the best man was already hers, she might as well focus on work!

Focusing on one's career is the best form of cosmetic surgery for women.

Aside from her daily songwriting, Shi Shi has very little work. She looked at the list of offers Song Ming had given her. Because she had previously stated that she didn't intend to step into the limelight, only to work behind the scenes, she had directly turned down all the programs with high exposure. There were some jobs that fell somewhere in between; it was up to her to decide.

I quickly glanced at some advertisements and travel variety show invitations.

Shi Shi's gaze fell upon an interview—[Bai Jing's Living Room]
