Chapter 73
Xia Shutong glanced at the phone, and Liu Mei frowned slightly suspiciously.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Feiwu asked.
“It’s nothing.” Xia Shutong shook her head, “Xiaoqian suddenly sent me a few scriptures, it must have been sent to the wrong person.”
Said, put the phone into the bag.
At lunch time, there were not many people left in the company, but many people still saw Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu walking through the hall holding hands openly.
The company gossip group is boiling again.
[Fuck! Those of you who go out to eat, you never know what you’re missing out on! 】
【what? What? It seems that there is a big gossip to listen to? 】
【Ahem… gossip is quite big, but now that I’ve calmed down, I don’t dare to say it. Understand naturally understand. 】
[I saw it too! If I remember correctly, today is her birthday, right? ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I’m drunk to death]
【It was so shocking. I almost slipped and fell when I saw it. Although you have gossiped about it before, when I actually saw it, I still felt a bit incapable of changing it…】
[No, what are you talking about? “Who is she? 】
[When you come back after eating, I will tell you quietly]
Xia Shutong didn’t know what the employees were talking about in the gossip group, she just thought… the way everyone looked at her and Yun Feiwu seemed a little strange. So Xia Shutong straightened up his face for a long time, and didn’t soften his body until he walked into the parking lot.
After getting in the car, Yun Feiwu laughed lightly and said, “Ruan Ruan, did you feel shy when they stared at you just now?”
Xia Shutong nodded.
The eyes of the employees were too hot just now.
But Xia Shutong was shy, but instinctively felt… a little secretly proud.
Because, this is the first time she holds hands with her cat in the company.
“Ruan Ruan, don’t be shy in the future, that’s because they envy us.” Yun Feiwu also said, “If you are really shy…you can hold me tighter, or, can I block you?”
Xia Shutong nodded, then shook her head again: “No, if I hide behind you, then that…”
Then her prestige as Mr. Xia will be lost.
“Then everyone knows that their cold-faced Mr. Xia is actually a shy, soft… little girl in private?” Yun Feiwu raised his voice and continued.
Xia Shutong glared at her, and before she was wearing her seat belt, she quickly turned to Yun Feiwu’s side and pinched her cheek.
Yun Feiwu smiled obediently, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Xia Shutong quickly released the handbrake and started the ignition.
Light and pure music sounded in the car.
The two didn’t speak all the way, but they both smiled. It wasn’t until reaching the destination and before getting out of the car that Xia Shutong suddenly whispered, “Because of Maomao, I just want to show…the soft side in front of you.”
After finishing speaking, Xia Shutong opened the car door, and as soon as he got out of the car, he held his slightly hot cheeks with his hands.
Yun Feiwu was in the car, smiling more and more.
Since this period of time, although Xia Shutong has become more and more gentle and humane to outsiders, she has never shown timidity in front of others, nor has she ever shown a ten-thousandth softness to Yun Feiwu in front of outsiders .
After getting off the car, Yun Feiwu put on a mask, and held Xia Shutong’s hand very naturally.
When he reached the exit of the parking lot, Xia Shutong stopped suddenly: “Maomao, close your eyes until I tell you to open them, okay?”
“Okay~” Yun Feiwu’s voice was obedient, and he closed his eyes without hesitation.
The hand holding Xia Shutong instinctively tightened.
Xia Shutong approached her intimately, and directly hugged her waist.
Yun Feiwu’s heart skipped a beat, she tilted her head and leaned on Xia Shutong’s shoulder.
It turns out that walking with eyes closed is such an insecure thing. Yun Feiwu likes this kind of feeling…he can’t see anything in the dark, so he can only instinctively approach Xia Shutong and seek protection from Xia Shutong.
The temperature and fragrance of Xia Shutong’s body, Xia Shutong’s voice, and everything about Xia Shutong gave her a sense of security.
Yun Feiwu buried his head on Xia Shutong’s shoulder, and the corners of his lips curled up in a gentle arc.
Xia Shutong held Yun Feiwu’s waist with one hand, and gently stroked her head with the other hand, leading her forward slowly.
Immediately afterwards, there was a brief sense of weightlessness.
Although he hasn’t opened his eyes yet, Yun Feiwu has already guessed where they are now.
After a while, the sense of weightlessness disappeared, and Xia Shutong led her a few steps forward.
“Okay.” Xia Shutong said softly, “Maomao, open your eyes.”
Yun Feiwu opened his eyes, and there was an astonishing light in them. Sweeping forward, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Haicheng.
“It’s so beautiful.” Yun Feiwu’s voice was extremely soft, “I like it very much, thank you Ruanruan.”
They are now on the Baihe Tower, the highest in Haicheng, at a height of about 400 meters, which is enough to overlook the entire city of Haicheng. It’s summer now, but the wind blowing from outside the viewing platform is a bit cool, Yun Feiwu almost instinctively hugged Xia Shutong into his arms.
Xia Shutong’s voice was also very soft, full of tenderness: “I remember you said when you were a child that you like to look at the scenery of the city from a high place, just like the feeling of a goshawk flying into the sky and looking down on the grassland.”
What does it feel like when the goshawk looks down on the grassland?
Free and open.
The two little girls who were trapped in a small town at the beginning longed to become birds flying in the sky, get rid of the shackles, and fly freely.
Yun Feiwu also recalled: “I also remember, that’s what I said when we first took the Ferris wheel.”
At that time, Yun Feiwu was thirteen years old, and “Darkness” had just finished filming. To help her celebrate, Zhou Hanchi took two children to the amusement park in the city.
“This afternoon, let’s go ride the Ferris wheel again.” Xia Shutong said softly.
“it is good.”
The two walked slowly to the outermost side of the viewing platform and looked down through the glass window.
Yun Feiwu pointed to the tall building on the left of Baihe: “Ruan Ruan, that’s your home.”
Xia Shutong nodded.
Yun Feiwu pointed to the right again: “That’s my home.”
Yun Feiwu: “I used to sit on the balcony at home and look in the direction of your house across the Baihe River. Although I couldn’t see anything, I always felt that you were there.”
Xia Shutong hugged her distressedly, her eyes turned red.
After being quiet for a while, Xia Shutong pointed to the left of Baihe: “That’s our home.”
Pointing to the right again: “That’s our home too.”
Turning their heads, they looked at each other and smiled, with affection in their eyes.
…
After strolling around the sightseeing tower, Xia Shutong led Yun Feiwu into a restaurant inside.
The decoration of this restaurant is simple and elegant, and the whole is closed, but Xia Shutong chose the location by the window, and when he tilted his head, he could see the scenery outside.
“I’ve always heard that it tastes good here, but I haven’t had time to come here.” Xia Shutong said softly, “I just came to try it today. As for the other revolving restaurant, we will go again tonight.”
Yun Feiwu didn’t have any objections, and always had a cute and happy smile on his face. After sitting down with Xia Shutong, she immediately saw the roses on the table.
“Maomao.” Xia Shutong picked up the rose and handed it to Yun Feiwu, “Happy birthday.”
Yun Feiwu pinched his fingers before reaching out to pick it up.
“Thank you Ruanruan.” The voice couldn’t help shaking a little.
Usually clumsy and a bit like a straight man’s soft and romantic, it is really overwhelming. Yun Feiwu even felt that her heartbeat hadn’t slowed down since she got off the car.
She looked around, and belatedly realized that there were only two of them in the whole restaurant.
It seemed that there were only the two of them on the viewing platform just now.
Xia Shutong, is this… reserved? This place doesn’t come cheap.
Yun Feiwu couldn’t help raising his eyebrows slightly: “Xiao Xia has always spent money.”
“No fee.” Xia Shutong said seriously, “Just as long as you like it.”
Yun Feiwu rested her slender hands on the table, and laughed like a silver bell: “I think, I am really a evil concubine who has harmed the country, bewitching such a foolish lord as you.”
Xia Shutong immediately said: “Your Hunjun, she is happy.”
The two looked at each other at the same time, and laughed loudly.
After lunch, Xia Shutong didn’t drive by herself, but asked the driver to wait in the car ahead of time, and drove them to the Haicheng Ferris Wheel.
So the two of them… took the Ferris wheel once again.
Although it is daytime, the closed atmosphere in the small box of the Ferris wheel is still ambiguous enough.
Yun Feiwu was originally sitting opposite Xia Shutong, but within a few seconds, she sat next to Xia Shutong.
The Ferris wheel shook slightly, and Xia Shutong immediately hugged Yun Feiwu’s waist tightly.
“Afraid?”
“Not afraid.”
not talking anymore.
Quiet in the Ferris wheel.
Xia Shutong hugged Yun Feiwu, feeling that she could hear her clear and shallow breathing clearly.
The Ferris wheel rises slowly, getting higher and higher.
Yun Feiwu looked down at Xia Shutong and chuckled, “Shall we do it all over again?”
Xia Shutong nodded.
Yun Feiwu: “Afraid?”
Xia Shutong: “…um.”
Yun Feiwu: “Then hold it tighter? Close your eyes and you won’t be afraid.”
Xia Shutong closed her eyes, her eyelashes flickering slightly.
Yun Feiwu lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips, bit by bit, without any **** color, traced on the sides of her lips and the tip of his tongue. When separated, it happened to be the highest point of the Ferris wheel.
Xia Shutong was soft in Yun Feiwu’s arms, looking at the scenery outside with a soft expression.
Yun Feiwu stroked her hair and said softly: “Ruan Ruan, you also said a word on the Ferris wheel when you were a child. You said that couples who have ridden the Ferris wheel together will be together forever.”
The corners of Xia Shutong’s lips twitched a little. In fact, she made up that sentence to coax Xiao Yunfeiwu to play, but now, she nodded seriously, holding Yun Feiwu’s fingers and interlocking them: ” Well, it will.”
…
Near the evening, the two returned to the White River Pagoda again.
It’s still a revolving restaurant with only the two of them.
When they first sat down, they could barely feel the restaurant spinning. They chatted unknowingly, but suddenly found that they had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery and returned to the original point.
Now the sky has not yet darkened, but the lights not far away have been lit up layer by layer, mixed with the soft sunset glow in the sky, the beauty is indescribable.
Yun Feiwu always had a slight smile on his face. At this moment, he remembered something, and his smile became softer.
“Maomao?” Xia Shutong asked softly.
“I was thinking,” Yun Feiwu came back to his senses, “The current environment and atmosphere are very suitable for a marriage proposal.”
Just already proposed.
Xia Shutong thought about it seriously, and took off the ring around his neck: “Maomao, you can do it as many times as you want…Anyway, the result will always be ‘I do’.”
Yun Feiwu held her hand and stopped her movements, but his eyes were rarely shy: “Ruan Ruan, when did you become so good at talking about love?”
“It’s not love.” Xia Shutong held her finger instead, and said seriously, “It’s the truth.”
“Then I want to hear more of these truthful words in the future.” Yun Feiwu said in a playful voice.
Xia Shutong nodded: “Okay.”
She blushed again and lowered her eyes: “…as long as, as long as you don’t dislike it.”
What Xia Shutong is not good at is expressing love with words, even when she praises Yun Feiwu for her good looks, she has to struggle in her heart for a long time, for fear that she said something wrong. Even if he managed to say it out loud, it always made the atmosphere weird. In the words of the Internet, it is probably…a bit straight?
A few days before Yun Feiwu’s birthday, Xia Shutong searched a lot of strategies for celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday on the Internet. After finding nothing, he went to discuss it with Qian Lingling. Qian Lingling is also single for ten thousand years, so she couldn’t offer any specific opinions, and finally only said one sentence:
“If it were me, I would probably feel… no matter how I celebrate my birthday, as long as the other party presents me with sincere and warm love as a gift, I will feel very happy.”
It was this sentence that made Xia Shutong suddenly enlightened. He quickly arranged today’s itinerary, and then completely opened his heart. He crushed his deep love and placed it directly in front of Yun Feiwu. Feiwu went from the bottom of his heart.
“Of course I don’t dislike it. I will only like what Ruan Ruan says.” Yun Feiwu said very seriously.
In a blink of an eye, night fell, the sky darkened, and colorful lights flickered on both sides of the Baihe River, outlining a colorful picture.
The waiter quickly brought the cake up.
Yun Feiwu closed his eyes and made a wish. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw fireworks flickering outside the sky, and gorgeous flowers bloomed in the endless night sky.
When Yun Feiwu was in a daze, Xia Shutong quickly kissed her on the cheek: “Maomao, happy birthday.”
Yun Feiwu lowered his eyes and saw the light of the fireworks reflected on Xia Shutong’s face, which looked very beautiful. Yun Feiwu was dizzy for a moment, and then the corners of her eyes were slightly wet. She lowered her head and wiped her eyes, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the giant screen photos rolling on the office building not far away.
Half of it is Yun Feiwu’s portrait photo, and one side is a row of large characters: [Happy birthday to Yun Feiwu. 】
From their point of view, it happened to be very clear.
Almost all the giant advertising screens in that office building were bought by fans of various celebrities, and birthday wishes from different celebrities were broadcast every day. For Yun Feiwu’s birthday a few years ago, her support club also bought the screens.
It stands to reason that this year should also be bought by the support club, but Yun Feiwu licked his lips and looked at Xia Shutong, his voice was a little hoarse because of being moved: “Ruan Ruan, you bought it?”
Xia Shutong nodded.
In fact, every year on Yun Feiwu’s birthday, Xia Shutong directly remits the money for buying this giant screen to her support club. Just like Yun Feiwu used to like to sit on his balcony and look at Xia Shutong’s house. Every time on Yun Feiwu’s birthday, when Xia Shutong missed her but couldn’t see her, she would look at the photo on the giant screen from the window sill, her eyes full of longing.
When I got home, it was almost ten o’clock.
Although Xia Shutong drank some wine tonight, she was not drunk, but her face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of steam, which looked very attractive.
After putting in the water, and sprinkled with flower petals, the two of them lay down in the bathtub together.
The mist is steaming and the atmosphere is beautiful.
Following the atmosphere, they naturally wanted to have something happen, but Yun Feiwu’s phone vibrated at this moment.
Before it started, Xia Shutong pushed Yun Feiwu’s shoulder: “Maomao, go check your phone.”
Yun Feiwu reluctantly said “Oh”, but turned around obediently, picked up the phone from the coat basket and glanced at it.
Xia Shutong was half lying on the edge of the bathtub, looking lazy, watching Yun Feiwu’s movements.
Yun Feiwu’s body lines are extremely beautiful, especially in the water, when she raised her hand, some water droplets fell, and the remaining water droplets either stuck to her fair skin, or slowly slid down her arms, and finally disappeared in the hot water Among them, there are slight ripples.
Under the mist, it is as beautiful as a painting.
Xia Shutong frowned unconsciously.
Yun Feiwu looked at the news on the phone, but his expression became strange.
After a long while, she turned her head to look at Xia Shutong, neither laughing nor laughing: “Ruan Ruan, did you say today, how many scriptures did Xiaoqian send you?”
“Yeah.” Xia Shutong replied, “She must have sent the message to the wrong person.”
“No…she didn’t make a mistake.” Yun Feiwu smiled helplessly, “She sent me a copy too.”
Xia Shutong: “Huh?”
Yun Feiwu suppressed her voice: “She is tactfully advising us…don’t get too obsessed with…that kind of thing.”
“What kind?” As soon as the words came out, Xia Shutong immediately reacted, and under the cover of the mist, her face became even more crimson.
Yun Feiwu blinked, put down the phone, and shrank back to Xia Shutong, hugging her from behind.
“That Ruanruan, tell me, are we still…doing it today?” Yun Feiwu uttered these words slowly, almost touching the tip of Xia Shutong’s ear.
Xia Shutong’s ears were numb, and his body went limp for nothing.
She buried her head in her arms, and after a long time, she weakly uttered a word.
“Do.”
…
Both of them were a little tired today, so they went to bed and fell into a deep sleep without having to deal with each other for long.
On an anonymous online forum, a post also surfaced quietly: [Is there any rich man celebrating his birthday today? I heard that the Baihe Tower and the Haicheng Ferris Wheel are all booked out, this is too embarrassing… Star Eye.jpg]
Although Baihe Tower is booked out from time to time, it is one of the famous scenic spots in Haicheng after all. Almost every time it is booked out, it will cause some discussions on the Internet. However, netizens are just discussing and playing around, and no one can really figure out who the person who booked the venue is.
Today is also the case. The people in the post listed all the richest people in Haicheng, but they couldn’t find any possible characters. In the end, just when everyone concluded that this person should also be an invisible rich man today, a certain replyer quietly posted:
【What… today is Yun Feiwu’s birthday】
The post exploded instantly.
[Fuck! ! Let me tell you, today I saw Yun Feiwu’s birthday greeting on the huge screen in the office building, which is next to the Baihe Tower! 】
[Don’t talk nonsense upstairs, this is bought by the Support Club, and the Support Club buys it every year, if you don’t believe me, go to Weibo for yourself. And Yunyun is just an actor, so he can’t afford to book the Baihe Tower. 】
[Yun Feiwu has no money, but what if she really has a financial backer? 】
【impossible. The last time I slandered Yunyun and was taken care of, the slap in the face wasn’t enough? 】
[Compared to the funder or something… I have a bold guess, maybe it’s Xia’s business? 】
[Mother Xia rents out Baihe Tower for the daughter goose’s birthday? ah ah ah ah so cute]
[Compared to “mother-daughter relationship”, I think this is more like love qwq, after all, there is a Ferris wheel… It’s so sweet to me]
[Hehe, maybe Yun Feiwu’s benefactor is Xia Shutong? I don’t believe there can be any true feelings in the entertainment industry]
【I believe】Swipe the screen
So in the post, taking advantage of the chaos of black fans, sugar-eating cp fans, and Wei fans who are busy controlling comments, a tall building is gradually built.
However, this floor has been speculated by netizens from the beginning to the end, and no one took any photos, so Wutong’s public relations department did a little manipulation to suppress the public opinion, without causing any splashes on the Internet.
Wutong Public Relations Department.
After solving this matter, a little girl suddenly buried her head in her arms, her shoulders trembling slightly. The person next to her immediately pushed her with concern: “What’s wrong? Too much pressure to work overtime?”
“No…” The girl from the public relations department straightened up, put away her aunt’s smile, and boldly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, “I’m done!”
Outsiders don’t know, but they in the public relations department are all aware of Mr. Xia and Yun Feiwu’s itinerary for this day. Even at noon, this girl saw the two holding hands with her own eyes.
So…so sweet!
…
Fast forward to the end of August, and after a few road shows, “Follow the Light” was officially released.
Xia Shutong booked the show one day in advance and invited the staff and actors of “Chasing the Light” to watch the movie together. A few seconds after she finished sending the message, Jiang Feng replied:
[Mr. Xia qwq, can I bring relatives? 】
Yun Feiwu just caught a glimpse of the cute emoji, raised his eyebrows, and took Xia Shutong’s phone over, as if to see “Which little white lotus wants to seduce my Ruanruan”.
As a result, when she saw the specific message from Jiang Feng, she rolled her eyes with a smile: “After the kid Jiang Feng started dating, his mouth has become sweeter and sweeter.”
After speaking, Yun Feiwu thought for a while, and replied to Jiang Feng by voice: “Xiao Xia always said, yes.”
After sending it out, she had a bigger smile on her face.
Xia Shutong sat on the side, watching Yun Feiwu fiddle with her mobile phone for fun, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
Less than two seconds later, Yun Feiwu’s phone rang.
Jiang Feng: [! ! 】
Jiang Feng: [Sister Yunyun, don’t bring such a show of affection! 】
Yun Feiwu held his mobile phone in front of Xia Shutong: “Ruan Ruan, are you here?”
Xia Shutong cleared her throat, and her voice was deliberately lowered: “Huh?”
Jiang Feng who received the message:…
Almost didn’t throw the phone out.
In the early morning of the next day, after arriving at the movie theater, Dai Su specially prepared some small gifts for everyone—at first glance, it was the kind of earthy toys that “women will cry when they receive them, and men will cry when they receive them”.
Dai Su distributed gifts around, and finally sent them to Xia Shutong and Yun Feiwu.
“Mr. Xia, Xiaoyun. I know everything about you.” Dai Su smiled and handed the gifts to them, “That’s why I specially bought you a couple’s style, hehe.”
Xia Shutong looked at the two oddly shaped dolls, trying to keep a gentle smile.
Yun Feiwu also suppressed a smile, and politely took the gift from him.
Dai Su continued excitedly: “Mr. Xia, Xiaoyun, don’t look at this thing as a doll, but it actually has a speaker inside, and it can play songs via Bluetooth. It’s very creative…”
Xia Shutong pursed her lips, and said with difficulty: “Thank you, Director Dai, for your kindness… You really have a heart.”
Dai Su said a little excitedly: “Is that so? Everyone said that, just now Xiao Jiang praised me for my ingenuity. Sigh, if I knew that Xiao Jiang’s girlfriend would also come, I should have prepared an extra copy…”
Xia Shutong resisted the urge to touch his forehead, she really didn’t want to tell Dai Su that it was because everyone didn’t know how to praise his little gift, so she could only praise “heart”.
The author has something to say: Qian Lingling: I’m afraid Mrs. Xia can’t take it anymore woo woo woo QAAAQ
Ruan Ruan: No, I can! I can take it! (Breaking sound)
