Thirty stars

The rain came down at an angle, so even though there was a shelter above while I was waiting for the rain to stop, I was still inevitably sprayed with some water.

As soon as she got home, she went to the bathroom and took a hot shower.

After coming out, she grabbed a dry towel and wiped her wet hair.

As she lowered her head to search for the hair dryer, someone suddenly took the towel from her. She sat up in shock. There was another person in front of her, holding the towel and wiping her dripping hair.

Lin Tang didn't move, letting him smooth his fur. After all, sometimes when his mind went haywire, he would suddenly remember to fulfill his husband's duties.

Recalling something, she asked, "When are you planning to return to the old house?"

She was still very considerate. She thought that the reason he let her live in the old house was so that she could show off in front of the old man every day.

Feng Chibai's expression remained unchanged, his hands moving non-stop. "Let's talk about it later. You slapped him without caring about anything. Aren't you afraid of being seen again and again, and being targeted by him?"

"I didn't do it without caring. I gave that slap after careful consideration." Lin Tang reasoned with him.

Feng Chibai raised his eyes slightly, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Think carefully?"

Lin Tang said seriously: "We are on the same side, aren't we? If you are bullied, it is also a disgrace to me."

Feng Chibai nodded lightly, and her eyes accidentally fell on her hand. Her slender fingers were playing with the ring on her ring finger intentionally or unintentionally.

An inexplicable electric current surged through his heart, connecting to his scalp, and a tingling sensation enveloped him.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to get her a hair dryer.

The moment he turned away from her, he didn't even notice that the smile on his face was deepening.

On Lin Tang's birthday, Feng Chibai went to the Astronomical Research Institute early to pick her up from get off work.

But there was an emergency and a task came up at the last minute, which resulted in me not being able to eat at the restaurant I had booked, so I could only spend dinner with her in the institute's cafeteria.

After finally making it past eight o'clock, when they got in the car, Lin Tang habitually moved to the back seat, but Feng Chibai called out, "Sit in the front."

Only then did she realize that there was no driver in the car this time.

Opening the car door, she leaned forward and glanced at the person who had already taken the driver's seat with a smile, and said jokingly, "Oh, the driver has changed."

"But..." She slowly lowered her gaze to the bouquet of flowers on the seat, "How am I supposed to sit here with this bouquet of flowers?"

Feng Chibai reached out and took the flowers away to make room for her. As soon as she fastened her seat belt, the bouquet of flowers unexpectedly fell into her hands again.

Before I could react, I heard the person next to me say, "Look up."

She did as she was told. The moment she looked up, she caught a glimpse of him holding his phone towards her. Another voice came to her ear: "Smile."

Lin Tang subconsciously did as he was told, but when she came to her senses, the flash went off, and she realized what he had just done. She grumbled in dissatisfaction and asked, "Why are you filming me?"

Feng Chibai calmly put away his phone and replied, "Today is your birthday. I have to post a message on WeChat Moments to let the old man know, so he doesn't think there's a rift in our relationship."

Lin Tang didn't care about the assignment. When he heard that he was going to post his photos on WeChat Moments, he quickly reached out to ask for his phone: "Show me the photos you took without even asking me."

Feng Chibai freed one hand, unlocked the phone, and handed it to her. He didn't care what she was doing and focused on driving.

Then he listened to her complaints all the way.

"Fuck, you have the nerve to post a photo like this on your Moments, just to make people laugh."

"No, next time before you take a photo, could you please tell me in advance? Don't you know how stiff your smile is?"

"People say a wife's beauty and a husband's glory are forced upon you, and you can still throw them away. You might as well ask your driver to do it."

…

Amidst the constant complaints, Feng Chibai remained calm and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to the amusement park?"

"Huh?" Lin Tang's attention was immediately drawn. "Where are you going?"

"A date." He explained briefly.

Knowing that this was another attempt to get through to the old man, Lin Tang threw the phone to him unhappily and replied, "Whatever."

As soon as he entered the amusement park, Lin Tang's anger immediately dissipated, and he looked around curiously. He had only seen it online before, but this was his first time at the amusement park. He was in high spirits and wanted to try everything.

However, they arrived late and were about to close down, so they had to reluctantly give up a few projects.

Lin Tang was a bold woman, and upon arriving, she caught a glimpse of the running roller coaster. So when Feng Chibai asked her what she wanted to ride, she pointed without hesitation at the rapidly rising and falling structure not far ahead, raising her eyebrows and saying, "Xiao Feng, do you dare to ride this?"

Feng Chibai said nothing.

Thinking he was scared, she said in a timid tone, "Are you so timid? Hey, if you want to play, you have to play the most exciting one. Feng Chibai, if you don't dare, then wait for me downstairs."

"Okay." Feng Chibai blurted out without thinking, slowly lowering his gaze to her, a faint smile still hanging on the corner of his lips, and then emphasized each word: "Together."

The moment he sat on it, Lin Tang didn't feel anything. Even when the facility was running, he was still in an excited state, with only stimulating the two people in his mind.

But as soon as I got down, my stomach suddenly started to turn nauseous. It was as if my brain wasn't scared, but my body was out of control, unable to withstand the ups and downs of the world, and was reacting first.

After vomiting beside the trash can for a while, Feng Chibai handed her a bottle of water and said slowly, "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Tang rinsed his mouth and saw that he looked perfectly fine. He said stubbornly, "Am I afraid? I just ate too much last night and my stomach is upset."

Feng Chibai uttered a faint "Oh," "Really?"

Lin Tang couldn't stand his behavior, so he gritted his teeth and pointed at the bungee jumping project and said, "Go on."

Seeing that she was serious, Feng Chibai stopped teasing her and refused, "Take your time first."

He pointed to the carousel not far away and said, "You can play this first."

Lin Tang felt that he was provoking him, but was afraid that he would vomit again after getting off the bungee jumping machine, so he pointed in the direction of the Ferris wheel in anger and wanted to go the other way: "No, I want to go this."

This time Feng Chibai replied directly: "Okay."

The Ferris wheel spun slowly, rising slowly from below. Under the dark night, the scenery outside the window was descending, and they were rising, seemingly getting closer and closer to the night sky dotted with scattered stars.

Recalling something, Lin Tang pulled out her phone, turned on the front camera, and pointed it at herself. She tilted her body slightly, revealing the person next to her.

Feng Chibai seemed to have been paying attention to her actions. The moment the camera showed him, their eyes met across the screen.

The next second, the shutter button is pressed and the picture is frozen at this moment.

She glanced at the photo with satisfaction, then casually sent it to him, reminding him, "If you want to post something, just post this one, okay?"

Feng Chibai hummed, then suddenly said, "You send it too."

"Me too?" Lin Tang immediately tilted his head in confusion, staring at him for a few seconds before suddenly understanding. "Oh, I see. What's the word for that? Two-way rush."

She clicked her tongue twice, and she really did everything she could to make the old man believe her.

When I got down, it was almost closing time for the amusement park.

The car was parked in the parking lot across the street. When I got out, the light across the street was still red.

The two were walking towards the zebra crossing when suddenly, a large truck sped past at such a speed that it seemed like it was about to collide with the car in front.

The passing wind blew onto their faces unexpectedly. Feng Chibai's heart stagnated, his thoughts suddenly drifted away, and his body wanted to move forward uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to step out of the stop line, Lin Tang widened his eyes, pulled him back with force, and was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him.

From what Feng Xing had said at the time, it wasn't hard for her to guess why his mother had died. She also knew why he was in such a daze at the moment.

She gripped his arm tightly, her voice unconsciously rising: "Didn't you say you were awake? Now, if you're still confused, I'll slap you again. After all, you'll be driving later, so don't drag me down with you!"

Feng Chibai had been brought back to his senses by the slap. He took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, I'm not that bad..."

"Rest assured? I wouldn't dare to be reassured. I know you haven't felt good all these years, but that's all in the past. Who was it that promised me so confidently that I wasn't fragile at all?"

While talking, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the green light had come on.

Lin Tang still frowned and pulled him forward: "Forget it, it's rare for me to waste so much time talking to you."

When they got to the parking lot, Feng Chibai was about to move to the driver's seat, but Lin Tang pushed her to the passenger seat. She pointed at him, her voice still a little angry: "I don't trust you, I'll drive."

When Lin Tang returned home and came out after washing up, he caught a glimpse of Feng Chibai leaning on the sofa with a tired look. Just as he was about to walk over, his gaze suddenly shifted and met hers.

He reached out his hand and pulled Lin Tang to sit on the sofa without any warning.

After a moment of silence with his lips pursed, he let out a deep breath and asked her in a low voice, "Are you angry tonight?"

"What?" Lin Tang stared at him in shock. His anger had completely dissipated after taking a shower. After a few seconds, he realized what he was referring to and replied, "Oh, not really. I was wondering if you were angry?"

Her tone suddenly changed. After all, when she thought about it carefully, the slap just now was purely a subconscious reaction, without any personal grudge at all. But as to whether he would think so, she was not sure.

Fortunately, Feng Chibai uttered two words calmly: "No."

Lin Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his head and saying, "If I can't do it, then I can't do it."

She straightened her hair and was about to stand up when she was suddenly held back by a force. The next second, a force descended from her shoulders, immobilizing her.

She didn't know where to put her hands. She stared blankly at the man who suddenly hugged her and asked stutteringly, "What...are you doing?"

After a long while, I heard a slow voice: "Take a picture."

She asked in confusion: "Do I have to post this on WeChat Moments too?"

Feng Chibai replied to her: "No, it's just for emergencies."

Lin Tang murmured, letting him hold her, and added: "Even if it's just the back, you should take a good-looking picture."

It's just that this photo shoot took longer than she expected.

It lasted for nearly three minutes before he seemed to have found a satisfactory one and slowly let her go.

But when Lin Tang wanted to see how he filmed it, he refused to show it to him this time, saying, "The angle wasn't right, so I won't show it."

Then he got up and walked into the bedroom.
