Since their last minor disagreement, Yu Nian and Luo Sheng haven't been seen together for a long time. And Song Ci, it's said, has gone to France for a competition again. Yu Nian, therefore, is happy to have some peace and quiet, locking herself in the music room day after day.
December 22nd was Yu Nian's 22nd birthday. On this day, she released her new song "Surprise," a birthday gift to herself and her first original single that officially propelled her to stardom.
"Surprise" is a song written by Yu Nian herself. The surprise isn't roses, strawberry bears, or rings, but rather meeting you around the corner. The unrequited love she experienced during her teenage years didn't diminish Yu Nian's longing for romance. She hopes that lovers will eventually be together and that true love still exists in the world.
It was such a pleasant surprise.
I wonder where it came from,
But I'm afraid it's not from you.
What's a surprise?
I don't want a rose.
I just want to see you again.
...
As soon as her new solo song was released, Yu Nian's Weibo followers skyrocketed. Song Ci, who hadn't been seen in a long time, also reposted her promotional Weibo post. As expected, she's likely to trend on Weibo again.
Speak of the devil, and he appears; less than two minutes later, both Song Ci and Luo Sheng sent messages.
Luo Sheng: "Niannian, congratulations, you finally have your first solo single."
Yu Nian: "Thank you."
Song Song Song Ci: "Nian Nian, happy birthday! Congratulations on releasing your first solo single! Would you do me the honor of having dinner together today?"
Yu Yu Yu Nian: "Thanks. Okay, send me the address."
Song Song Song Ci: "Don't move, I'll come to your house to pick you up."
Yu Nian was quite happy that her new song sold more copies than her previous one. She had just finished putting on makeup and went downstairs when her phone rang again.
Luo Sheng: "It's your birthday today. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Shall we eat together tonight?"
Yu Nian tapped her phone a few times with her long, slender fingers: "I have plans with friends today."
As soon as I finished replying to the message, Song Ci called.
"I've arrived, you can come downstairs now."
Yu Nian's phone seemed to be receiving another message, but she didn't look at it carefully before hurrying downstairs, not wanting to keep Song Ci waiting too long.
Before Yu Nian even stepped out of the stairwell, Song Ci spotted her.
She wore a red dress today, with a slim waist, long legs, and fair skin. Her black hair was loosely tied up at the back of her head. Standing at the dim stairwell, she looked like a rose in the misty rain, like a scene from a painting.
He watched her approach little by little, step by step, into the depths of his heart.
Yu Nian also kept looking at the man standing next to the car. Their eyes met at the perfect moment. It was hard to say whether it was because the sunset was too intense today, but their eyes were burning with flames.
Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at, she quickened her pace and silently got into the passenger seat.
As Song Ci sat in the driver's seat, her mind wandered to the eye contact they had just made, her eyes revealing an undisguised frankness.
Song Ci's attire today was as cool as his profession: a black shirt and leather jacket, his tall and straight figure exuding a touch of unruliness.
This guy doesn't look like he's going out to eat. Is he going to take her racing?
After thinking for a while, Yu Nian asked, "You're not going to take me racing, are you?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ci glanced down at her outfit, smiled, and replied.
"No, I just got back from France. I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane, Niannian." His tone was slightly raised at the end, with a touch of nonchalant casualness. His low voice lingered, teasing the ear tips until they tingled and burned.
Yu Nian looked at the dark circles under his eyes: "Actually, you..."
Yu Nian was interrupted by Song Ci after only three words.
His voice was incredibly seductive, at least in Yu Nian's eyes.
Happy birthday, Yu Nian! I wanted to come back early to give you a surprise!
There's a gift in the back seat, would you like to open it and take a look?
Yu Nian glanced at the huge gift box in the back seat of the car, wondering what gift this person had prepared for her.
"I'll go back and dismantle it later. Thank you, Song Ci."
As expected, the young master of the Song family has excellent taste. This time, he brought Yu Nian to a restaurant called [Song Y], which is much better than the one Luo Sheng took her to last time.
Because they needed to go home and celebrate their birthdays with their parents who were coming home late, Yu Nian and Song Ci didn't stay long after dinner.
After it was over, Yu Nian immediately went back to her room and opened the huge gift box that Song Ci had given her.
It was a painting, a painting of her and Song Ci, depicting the moment they met at the Eiffel Tower in France.
Attached below is a photo; it turns out that the day she secretly photographed him was also secretly photographed by someone else.
Yes, she likes it very much.
"I had no intention of attracting your attention, but you have somehow captured my heart."
