Chapter 63 We can change houses every month…

After packing her things for the day, Chen Ci pulled her suitcase and put her laptop in her laptop bag. She thought for a moment, then walked to the vanity mirror, opened the drawer in front of it, and took out a laptop.

The notebook looked quite old, with a sticker of an old cartoon character on it. Zhou Shilin glanced at it, walked up to her, and asked, "This isn't your diary, is it?"

"Hmm...I guess so." Chen Ci hugged the notebook to her chest and raised an eyebrow at Zhou Shilin. "It's full of Shen Feifei's masterpieces."

Zhou Shilin recalled his first meeting with "Shen Feifei" at the coffee shop, when she lied and said she was a writer: "I thought your only masterpiece was 'The Domineering CEO's Gentle Pampering,' you actually have others?"

"..." If she had known that the novel "The Domineering CEO's Pampering" would become a stain on her life, Chen Ci would never have written it. "It's not a novel, it's a record of the chivalrous deeds this heroine has done."

Zhou Shilin quickly understood what she meant; it must be that the events that happened each time she had amnesia were recorded in this notebook.

"Can I take a look?" Zhou Shilin asked curiously.

Chen Ci thought for a moment, then handed him the notebook in her hand: "Take a look, but it might not be as good as you think."

Zhou Shilin opened the notebook, which contained entries dating back to his university days. Each entry included the date and weather, making it resemble a diary.

He flipped through a few pages, and it was indeed "Shen Feifei's" record of chivalrous deeds, but she didn't appear very often, and her condition became more and more stable each time she appeared.

"It seems you have a good first impression of me." Zhou Shilin pointed one of the pages at Chen Ci, which contained a sentence praising him as a good person.

Chen Ci coughed lightly, as if changing the subject, and said, "Don't mention it. In the past, everything was recorded in this notebook, but such a big thing as hitting your Rolls-Royce that time, not a single word was written! When Assistant Tian called me, I thought he was a liar!"

Zhou Shilin nodded and said to her, "You blocked him, right? Tian Xu was furious at the time and said a lot of bad things about you to me."

"..." Is this the reason why Assistant Tian asked her for one million?

"Actually, there's something I've been wanting to ask you." Zhou Shilin flipped through the notebook in his hand and asked Chen Ci beside him, "Did you come up with the name Shen Feifei?"

“Yeah, doesn’t she look like a female knight-errant?” Chen Ci said, raising her hand and gesturing in the air before finally striking a cool pose.

Zhou Shilin looked up at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You liked watching martial arts movies when you were little?"

"Who didn't love it back then! Who didn't dream of leaping across rooftops and scaling walls!"

“…Hmm, Zhou Mingye should have met you sooner; you two should have gotten along very well.” Zhou Shilin slowly turned a page of his notebook. “However, you two are from different systems; he likes Western superheroes.”

Chen Ci said, "Then we might very well end up fighting over who is stronger."

"...Then he's finished. How could he possibly beat you?"

"Hahahaha!" Chen Ci stopped posing and sat down in the chair after laughing. She propped her head up with one hand and looked up at Zhou Shilin standing next to her: "Did you and Zhou Mingye fight when you were little?"

"No, I'm the older brother, I wouldn't hit my younger brother."

Chen Ci nodded in agreement: "You only mock him and hurt his young heart."

It's all magic damage!

Zhou Shilin: "..."

“Or you could look at it from a different angle,” Zhou Shilin said calmly. “Thanks to the training I gave him back then, he is now able to withstand the storms of the entertainment industry.”

"...What you said makes a lot of sense. You really do need a strong heart to make it in the entertainment industry."

When Zhou Mingye stepped out of his house, he realized that it was only drizzling outside.

Zhou Shilin put the notebook back on the table and noticed what appeared to be a photo album in the drawer: "Is this a photo album?"

“Yes.” Chen Ci nodded and took the photo album out of it as well. “I took it with me when I moved out of the house. Let it move with me to a new place today.”

The album by Chen Ci has a vintage feel just by looking at the cover. Zhou Shilin opened the cover and started looking at the first page.

Chen Ci doesn't seem to like taking photos. The photo album, which she started keeping from birth, is still not full. As a child, she looked just like the one Zhou Shilin saw at Dr. Zhang's place: short hair, wearing the simplest clothes, and rarely smiling at the camera—and even the few forced smiles she managed to manage showed she was putting in a lot of effort.

By high school, Chen Ci had changed a lot. Her hair grew longer and her clothes became more and more colorful. She even wore designer haute couture for her birthday.

only……

Zhou Shilin curled his lips emotionlessly, looked up at Chen Ci, and said, "When you were in high school, you were quite close to this Chen Yun. He even stood next to you on your birthday."

Chen Ci: "..."

She was indeed quite close to Chen Yun during high school, and it was perfectly normal for her family to invite Chen Yun to her birthday celebrations.

After all, both families wanted them to study abroad together.

"Haha." Chen Ci took the photo album from Zhou Shilin's hand and closed the cover. "Sigh, who doesn't have a past?"

Zhou Shilin's smile deepened, but it was even colder than before: "Oh, you have a past too?"

"...What I mean is, I was young and ignorant back then, and I didn't know how to judge people. Only after I grew up did I realize that he was nothing."

Chen Ci put the photo album back in its original place, closed the drawer, and decided that it should stay here for the time being.

Zhou Shilin glanced at the drawer she had closed, leaned against the table, and asked her, "Finished tidying up?"

"Mmm." Chen Ci nodded vigorously. "Let's take this much for today. We can get the rest later."

Zhou Shilin said, "You don't need to bring so many clothes; you can buy new ones."

"...If that's what you're saying, then I'll put a few back?"

Zhou Shilin smiled and helped her pick up her suitcase from the ground: "It's okay, the walk-in closet at home is very big, we don't need this little bit of space."

I've seen Zhou Shilin's walk-in closet before; it's indeed very large, but also quite empty, probably because Mr. Zhou owns so many houses. :)

"By the way, I'll have Tian Xu compile a list of all my properties later..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ci interrupted him in surprise: "And then, will you transfer the ownership to me?"

Zhou Shilin: "..."

"You can have it if you want."

"So generous?"

Zhou Shilin glanced at her sideways and said, "Tang Zhishi, after we get married, we will have joint property."

"...If you calculate it that way, I've really hit the jackpot. Wait, wait a minute, you're already thinking about marriage?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhou, you haven't even thought of a name for the child yet, have you?"

"..."

"Mr. Zhou, why aren't you saying anything? Why are your ears red again?"

Zhou Shilin: "..."

After the two got into Zhou Shilin's car, Chen Ci fastened her seatbelt and asked Zhou Shilin, "So what did you mean when you said you wanted Assistant Tian to organize your property documents?"

Zhou Shilin smiled silently at her: "Let you choose your favorite one, and we'll live there permanently from now on."

"..." Chen Ci pondered his words for a moment, then circled back to the original question, "You mean as a wedding room?"

"..."

"Then why don't we move there now? It'll save us from having to move again."

"Didn't you say it was a wedding room? Then the decoration might need to be changed to suit your preferences."

Chen Ci raised her hand and playfully patted Zhou Shilin, feigning shyness: "President Zhou is quite considerate~"

Zhou Shilin: "..."

"However, when choosing a house, shouldn't we not only consider ourselves, but also whether it will be convenient for our children to go to school in the future?"

Zhou Shilin turned his head to look at her for a while, then smiled at her: "You think further ahead than I do. I'm only thinking about the child's name, but you're already considering the child's education."

Chen Ci: "..."

What's wrong? Isn't her question realistic?

"If we can't choose just by looking at the information, we can move to a different house every month."

Chen Ci: "..."

She had never lived this extravagantly before, even when she lived with her parents.

"You'll have a more direct experience after living there yourself, right?" Zhou Shilin asked as he drove the car away.

Chen Ci turned her head to look at him and smiled back at him: "That's right, absolutely right."

After Shen Ci and Zhou Shilin started living together, Shen's father invited Zhou Shilin to dinner again. This time, the location was not at their home, but at Shen Ci's maternal grandfather's house.

After learning that she was with Zhou Shilin, Shen Ci's maternal grandfather also wanted to meet Zhou Shilin.

When Chen Ci was little, she was afraid to see her maternal grandfather because he never really liked her. In addition, the dog he kept would bare its teeth at her. Every time she went to her grandfather's house for a meal, she was quieter than usual.

She thought that if she did nothing, she wouldn't make a mistake. Only when she grew up did she realize that in the eyes of someone who doesn't like you, even your breathing is repulsive.

“If you don’t want to go, we can skip it.” Zhou Shilin was indeed considering marrying Shen Ci. When it comes to marriage, it’s hard for both sets of elders to get around it, but Shen Ci has a special relationship with her family. If she doesn’t want to, they can skip this step.

After considering it for a while, Chen Ci finally decided to go back for the meal: "I've decided to go back and see him. I was afraid of him when I was little, but I'm not anymore! I want to show him what Niu Gulu Chen Ci is all about!"

Zhou Shilin looked at her for a while, then raised his hand and patted her head: "If you don't want to, you don't have to force yourself."

Chen Ci pursed her lips and solemnly said, "This time, I'll go back and put an end to what happened before! I used to be very afraid of that family, so I ran away. But now I know that facing fear head-on is the only way to truly overcome it! A true hero will only die standing up, not run away on his knees!"

Zhou Shilin: "..."

Although I don't know what's burning, it just got on fire.

"But if you don't want to go, I'll refuse my dad."

"...I don't care."

"..." Indeed, recalling the last time he met her parents, he was the one who controlled the whole situation.

“If you’re planning to go back and make peace with the past, I’ll go with you.” Zhou Shilin took Chen Ci’s hand, his palm warmly enveloping her.

Chen Ci smiled at him and said, "Okay."

She hadn't seen her grandfather for many years. He was very old now, and his dog had died.

And she, too, has grown up completely.

Author's Note: I wrote a bug yesterday. I mentioned before that Zhou Mingye's birthday is in January, and I suddenly remembered it last night while lying in bed. [Clown]

I've already revised the previous parts; it's still based on what I wrote yesterday. [Clown]

It's almost finished; the main story will be over soon. After that, I'll write a few sweet little side stories.
