Chapter 202 Glory

"I dedicate this song, 'Glory,' to all my fans who support me. Thank you for supporting Shi Shi, who only releases songs quietly and never engages in promotional activities."

Thank you for the honor you have given me.

I want to bow deeply to you.

Because someone understands the effort you put in.

Thunderous applause and surging emotions

This is the beginning, not the end.

When you clapped your hands until they hurt for me

How can I repay your unwavering affection?

When she sang the line "I want to bow deeply to you," Shi Shi gently bowed to the audience, and at that moment, the fans in the audience were all moved to tears.

Thank you for the honor you have given me.

No matter how ordinary she used to be

You made me reach the pinnacle of my dreams.

This is our glory.

By the second section, the audience had already started singing along.

As the song was about to end, Shi Shi waved goodbye to everyone, and the fans obediently walked out one after another.

This is a song of joy for you.

"Every one of you is my great hero"

After finishing the song, Shi Shi left the airport amidst the farewells of her fans, watching her retreating figure.

One of the fans shouted, "Shishi, I love you so much! I love you whether you're active in the fan community or not! Remember to release more songs! Releasing songs is the best way to promote yourself!"

Shishi, who hadn't gone far, heard it, and instead of stopping, he raised his left hand and gave an "OK" sign.

With a "click," Shi Shi, wearing a black coat and with long hair reaching her shoulders, was captured in a media camera with her back to the camera, making an OK sign.

After finally getting on the bus, Kong Fang looked at Shi Shi with a guilty expression: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't expect there to be so many people here!"

He was supposed to be his sister's assistant, but this assistant couldn't even squeeze in and had to wait sheepishly in the car. What a dereliction of duty!

Shi Shi shook her head, indicating she didn't mind. Since he arrived in this world, the Chinese music market had been quite sluggish. She rarely saw any celebrities or actors enjoying such class-based treatment in the news. She was also Scorpion's father, unique in this regard. Even experienced figures like herself and Song Ming hadn't anticipated this; how could Kong Fang, this little assistant, possibly know?

Furthermore, Kong Fang had arrived at the airport two hours early. Shi Shi received a message from Kong Fang saying the airport was crowded as soon as she got off the plane; however, Kong Fang hadn't managed to squeeze in and had only taken a picture from the outside. Shi Shi couldn't tell from the photo that it was crowded.

"Sis, are we going straight home? My brother-in-law said he's waiting for you at home."

"Okay, let's go back. Drive slowly, I'm going to take a nap."

She hates sitting for long periods of time and usually gets up to move around after sitting in the office for 30 or 40 minutes.

When Shishi returned home, she saw Fu Yingzhou sitting on the sofa as soon as she entered the door.

Today, Fu Yingzhou was dressed in a dark red satin loungewear set. He crossed his legs, holding a book in his hand, his slender fingers resting on the hard cover. Sunlight streamed through the French windows, illuminating his handsome features. Hearing the door open, Fu Yingzhou looked up, his gaze falling on Shishi, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "You're back. Are you tired?" He put down the book, stood up, and walked towards Shishi.

Looking at the man in front of her, Shishi felt her weariness dissipate.

Perhaps this is why people yearn for marriage?

Shi Shi shook her head and said, "It's alright. The fans were very enthusiastic, but it took a bit longer. Were you getting impatient?" Fu Yingzhou walked to her side, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and led her to the sofa. "That's good. I was worried that there would be some problems if there were too many people. I'm not in a hurry to wait for you."

"Dumplings on the way up, noodles on the way down. I had Aunt Zhang make some hand-pulled noodles, and then I gave them both a day off. I'll go cook some for you now."

As he spoke, he helped Shishi sit down and then went to the kitchen.

Shishi's eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "You really understand me. I'll go change my clothes. I'll come down for noodles right away."

The two sat at the dining table, eating and chatting. Shishi talked about the competitions abroad, and Fu Yingzhou listened attentively, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Fu Yingzhou had almost finished his bowl of noodles, but he didn't ask about Oliver.

Shishi couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and asked Fu Yingzhou, who was looking at her with a puzzled expression, "Have you seen the news about me and Oliver in the media?"

Fu Yingzhou was slightly taken aback, then smiled gently, "I saw it, but I believe you." Shishi felt a warmth in her heart and explained, "He and I aren't even ordinary friends. We just met while participating in a competition. I want to expand into the international market, and going to Hokkaido with him is mainly to gather some information."

Fu Yingzhou nodded and took Shishi's hand. "Of course I know. I trust you completely. I won't take those news reports to heart."

Shishi was somewhat touched; she hadn't expected Fu Yingzhou to be so magnanimous. At this moment, Fu Yingzhou changed the subject, saying with a hint of teasing, "However, you should still keep some distance from men who have feelings for you in the future, after all, you are a married woman."

Shishi chuckled at his words and gently patted his hand. "I know, I understand. Besides, only you would like me. Who else would like me?"

That's how I scared away all my hidden rivals.

Fu Yingzhou knew perfectly well what was going on, but he wouldn't say it aloud.

The two smiled at each other, the atmosphere warm and sweet. After finishing their noodles, Fu Yingzhou cleared the table, while Shishi leaned against the table, watching his busy figure. Suddenly, she felt that this ordinary yet warm life might be what she wanted.

My long-held reluctance to get married has suddenly begun to waver.

"How about we try getting engaged first?"

Fu Yingzhou, who was putting the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, suddenly froze.

He turned around abruptly, looking at Shi Shi in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"

"Hmph, I won't say it twice. Since you didn't seize the opportunity, I'll back down."

Fu Yingzhou took a tissue from the table, wiped his hands, and walked towards Shishi.

He walked very close to Shi Shi, but his steps seemed to transform him from a sunny, homely man into a man-eating cheetah.

He put his hands under Shishi's armpits, lifted her up, and placed her on the table.

Shishi slapped him twice: "What are you doing? The table isn't wiped yet, it's filthy!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Yingzhou swallowed it all back.

"Sweetie, say it again."

"I—won't—tell!"

Fu Yingzhou kissed her again.

Just as Shi Shi was immersed in the mesmerizing kiss, her phone suddenly rang. The sharp ringtone shattered the tender moment, and Shi Shi pushed Fu Yingzhou away: "I need to answer the phone!"

"Say it again. Otherwise, you're not allowed to answer."

Shishi sighed helplessly, "Fine. I'll tell you."

Fu Yingzhou then pulled off a series of clever moves. He took out his phone, pressed the record button, and said to Shishi, "You can speak now."
