90: Chapter 90 Strolling Under the Moon

Without a doubt.

Shen Weiyue's attempt to test the waters once again ended in failure; naturally, he dared not kiss her.

Zhao Qingyan was not only cold in person but also in speech. It was like a Frost Dragon opening its mouth to unleash a blast of icy breath, instantly freezing his wild, wandering thoughts in their tracks.

Sigh, this Fox.

After resting for a moment, the two began to stroll along the riverbank, chatting aimlessly as they walked.

Zhao Qingyan felt that the atmosphere was wonderful, just like old friends confiding in each other, talking about everything under the sun.

It was no exaggeration to say that Shen Weiyue was truly the only strange man she could actually talk to.

Speaking of university.

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but feel a bit of regret. If only... but unfortunately, there were no "ifs".

At this moment, talking about "ifs" was meaningless; she was always able to rationally accept reality and quickly adjust her mindset.

Shen Weiyue said he was studying the best, top-tier major at Jianghai University—Computer Science and Technology. He planned to start his own business during college and become a hotshot internet tycoon in the future.

"Fox, I will definitely become famous nationwide in the future. Do you believe me?"

"Oh?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at him quietly, thinking to herself that his ambitions were certainly not small.

Even her incredibly outstanding uncle was currently only well-known within the industry; just how impressive would one have to be to become famous nationwide?

A person's success depends not only on their own efforts but also on the progress of society.

It could be said that for truly top-tier successful individuals, the right time, the right place, and the right people are all indispensable.

As the old saying goes, the world's most magnificent, strange, and extraordinary sights are often found in dangerous and remote places, and only those with ambition can reach them.

At the very least, Shen Weiyue had ambition.

"Fox, what major did you choose?"

"Mathematics, and I'll probably minor in Optical Engineering, or maybe Physics."

"Math and Physics, huh? That combination... terrifying. A Dou Zong powerhouse is truly terrifying!"

"What?"

"I'm saying you really are a genius girl who combines wisdom and beauty, studying all the subjects that give me the biggest headache."

Shen Weiyue didn't hold back his praise. For Zhao Qingyan, these compliments were not excessive at all; she was just that outstanding.

As they chatted, the topic shifted to all sorts of random anecdotes and unofficial history.

In his previous life, Shen Weiyue had read quite a few miscellaneous books, so when it came to storytelling, he knew a little bit about everything from all over.

Thus, time slipped away bit by bit as Zhao Qingyan became immersed in the conversation, to the point where the evening glow began to appear on the horizon.

"Oh no, I'm hungry." Shen Weiyue's stomach suddenly gave a rumble. Only then did he realize it was getting late, so he suggested, "Fox, let's go get something to eat."

"Oh?" She used that tone again.

"It's rare that we met here; let me treat you to some snacks. There are several local specialties at the night market here that are delicious. I only discovered them recently."

Shen Weiyue extended the invitation, and Zhao Qingyan agreed.

"I'll let my mom and the others know."

Zhao Qingyan needed to call Lu Chunyue.

But in reality, the siblings Lu Chunyue and Lu Jiangyun had already received the photos taken by the driver and figured out who the "Dark-Haired Guy" was.

"So it's Little Shen. Why is he here..."

"Little Shen? You know that boy?"

"Yeah, Little Yan's high school desk-mate. She tutored him into Jianghai University, and he became the most famous dark horse of the school this year. It's normal for them to meet up."

"Oh, Jianghai, that's acceptable. I feel a bit more at ease now."

Just as they were talking, the phone rang.

Lu Chunyue gave Lu Jiangyun a look and put it on speakerphone.

"Baby, are you done over there? Are you coming back?"

"Not yet, it might be a bit later. A friend of mine wants to treat me to some snacks."

"Then your uncle and I won't wait for you for dinner?"

"Don't wait."

The other side hung up quickly. Lu Jiangyun said in surprise, "This is normal?"

"What can you do if it's not normal? With your niece's temper, can you force her to come back?" Lu Chunyue rolled her eyes.

"Alright, I told my mom." After finishing the call, Zhao Qingyan put her hands behind her back and signaled for Shen Weiyue to lead the way.

"Lord Fox, this way please!" Shen Weiyue grinned and bowed to lead the way.

Zhao Qingyan only regretted that she hadn't brought that ballpoint pen to stab him with today; this donkey was becoming increasingly flirtatious.

Shen Weiyue brought Zhao the Fox to the night market, which was already bustling with crowds of people.

He headed straight for several unique stalls, buying marinated seafood, rice noodle rolls, taro cakes... and, unsurprisingly, some small oysters.

Of course, these weren't for Zhao the Fox to eat; they were a reward for himself, mainly to make up for the depletion he had suffered at Feng Jiayue's place over the past few days.

In fact, Director Shen was physically strong and full of vigor.

But in the spirit of being prepared, one still has to replenish.

The ace scout who had been tailing them saw him buying oysters and, like a blind monk discovering a key point, quickly reported to his boss.

"President Lu, that kid bought a lot of oysters..."

"Hmph! It's as obvious as Sima Zhao's intentions—everyone knows what he's up to. This reckless rogue is probably going to make a move on Little Yan. Watch for the right moment; the second he tries anything, break his legs for me!"

"What nonsense are you spouting... Little Ji (the driver's surname is Ji), don't listen to your boss's reckless orders. Observe carefully; that kid Little Shen isn't the type to be so rash."

"President Lu, this..."

"What 'this'? Listen to my sister!"

President Lu's voice was full of irritation.

The scout, Old Ji, found it amusing and continued to observe carefully.

He noticed that Miss Zhao, who had been cold and icy all the way from the airport, was visibly relaxed and happy while strolling through the night market with this little dark-haired guy.

Old Ji sighed.

Honestly, President Lu, I think your niece is a goner.

You'd better prepare yourself early.

"Here, have some double-skin milk. It'll cleanse your palate."

Shen Weiyue handed a cup of double-skin milk to Zhao Qingyan, but her hands were full with other snacks.

She looked at him speechlessly.

The next second, Shen Weiyue brought the straw directly to her lips. The little Fox didn't think much of it and calmly accepted his feeding.

Then she returned the favor, feeding him a bite of the red bean shaved ice she was holding.

Old Ji watched this scene, a fatherly smile appearing on his face.

Oh my god, aren't these two teenagers just too sweet?

You feed me milk, I feed you ice—if there isn't a foundation of feelings here, I'll twist my head off and use it as a ball!

Shen Weiyue led Zhao Qingyan toward the main road. As they passed through an alley, the bright moon was already high in the sky.

The moonlight, like a ribbon of silk, silently spilled over the two of them, like a colorful brush, painting an aura of beautiful youth wherever it touched.

In his view, the boy in the white t-shirt walked on the outer side, shielding the girl in the pink outfit on the inner side of the sidewalk. As they walked, he would occasionally feed her a sip of sugar water, and sometimes he would say something that made the girl stop and cast a sidelong glance at him.

The girl was breathtakingly beautiful, and the boy was also quite handsome.

It was truly wonderful.

This picture of a golden boy and jade girl strolling under the moonlight was truly wonderful.

My old soldier's heart was about to melt.

Damn it!

Before they knew it, the hotel appeared in their line of sight.

"Shen Weiyue, the hotel is just ahead. Don't walk me any further, you should head back." Zhao Qingyan stopped walking.

"Alright. What are your plans for tomorrow?" Shen Weiyue handed her the remaining snacks.

"Tomorrow I'm going to Hong Kong with my uncle and the others." Zhao Qingyan replied.

"Oh." Shen Weiyue acknowledged, then asked, "Are you coming back to Shenzhen?"

"No, I'm heading straight back to Chengdu." She sensed his reluctance, and felt a touch of pleasure in her mood.

"Alright then, I won't walk you any further." Shen Weiyue smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand, and hailed a taxi. "Bye, Fox."

"Bye, Stupid Donkey."

Zhao Qingyan watched the departing taxi, her gaze becoming increasingly soft without her realizing it.

Having completed his mission, Old Ji gave Lu Jiangyun an 'OK' gesture. President Lu's hanging heart finally settled.

"Look at how nervous you were. I told you, Little Shen isn't how you imagine him to be."

"No one understands men better than I do!" Lu Jiangyun said decisively. "That kid is definitely not innocent!"

Heh, a man who wolfs down oysters, what kind of good intentions could he possibly have?

All dark-haired guys deserve to die!
