The weather has been really nice lately, with bright sunshine every day.
Spring has arrived, and everywhere is lush and green. Zhou Zuizui was a little surprised, but not too surprised, about Shen Nan's offer to take her to see the stars.
After all, this person had asked her before if she wanted to see the stars up close. What Zhou Zuizui didn't know was how to see the stars up close.
She turned her head to look at the man driving. Shen Nan was particularly serious when he drove, his eyes focused, not at all like someone who was lazy. This man could be serious and earnest, and he could also be roguish and lazy. In short, he was charming, making you unconsciously sink into his world.
Zhou Zuizui turned her head and glanced out the window. The sunlight was really nice. At this time, everyone was still at work, and there weren't many pedestrians or vehicles on the street.
She glanced outside and chuckled, "The weather is so nice."
Shen Nan responded heavily and asked in a low voice, "Let's go home first. What would you like to eat?"
Zhou Zuizui looked at him in surprise: "You're going to cook again?"
Shen Nan laughed: "We're spending the night outside, aren't we taking any clothes?"
Zhou Zuizui is a bit of a germaphobe, not to the extreme, but she has to shower and change clothes every day, otherwise she can't sleep and feels uncomfortable at all. Shen Nan is quite aware of his wife's little quirks in daily life.
“…Oh, yes, I’ll take you.” Zhou Zuizui smiled and looked at him. “You still haven’t told me where you’re taking me to see the stars.”
Shen Nan chuckled and casually pointed, saying, "You'll know when we get there."
Zhou Zuizui: "...Okay then."
Let's not ask yet, let's keep this person in a state of surprise.
However, she couldn't help but think of many possibilities: camping on the mountaintop, or somewhere else to look at the stars—surely not a planetarium… Zhou Zuizui thought, then shook her head. It wasn't necessarily true. After all, Shen Nan was a bit of an old-fashioned guy; it was quite possible he'd take her to a planetarium for a date to see the stars.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh.
After arriving home, the two packed their things and then went out.
After going out again, Shen Nan took Zhou Zuizui out for a meal before leading her to see the stars.
It was still early, and there were definitely no stars yet. Zhou Zuizui looked out the window and couldn't help but sigh, "I can't see the stars now. I kind of want to go on a picnic."
Shen Nan chuckled softly and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever had a picnic before?"
“Yes.” Zhou Zuizui’s eyes lit up as she said, “I had a picnic with Qiuqiu and Lin Ping, near that ancient town.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan paused and asked, "Do you want to go back to the ancient town?"
Zhou Zuizui was taken aback, paused for a moment, and said, "It's alright for now. I'm at ease leaving that place in Lin Mu and the others."
She was very familiar with Lin Mu and Lin Ping, and she wasn't worried that the two of them would do anything improper. Zhou Zuizui was confident in that regard.
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and asked, "You trust them that much?"
Zhou Zuizui laughed, propping her wrist up as she looked at him: "Do you know how to do business?"
"Um?"
"Trust those you employ, and don't employ those you don't trust." She said with a smile, "Moreover, Lin Mu and Lin Ping are different from other employees, and Qiu Qiu is different too."
"How so?"
"They knew each other when my grandmother was still alive."
Lin Mu and Lin Ping are brothers who met Grandma Zhou in the ancient town. They weren't exactly adopted children, but Grandma Zhou helped them through their most difficult times. Later, when the shop needed help, they were the ones who worked there. Although they were young and hadn't received much education, they knew how to repay kindness. Both of them loved their current lives, and it could be said that Zhou Zuizui's ability to quickly get up to speed after taking over the ancient town was largely due to their help.
They didn't even consider opening the tavern when Grandma Zhou passed away, so it's even less likely now.
Moreover, Zhou Zuizui did a pretty good job in this regard. She never treated her employees unfairly, paid them the highest and best salaries in the area, and treated them very well. She was not exactly meticulous, but she never criticized or scolded them. She would also help out when things got busy. She was a boss, but not quite.
Although she doesn't know much about business, she does know that if you treat people well, they will treat you well in return; it's an equal relationship.
...
As Shen Nan listened, he thought of the kind old man and gave a deep "hmm": "The two of them seem quite good."
Zhou Zuizui raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "Of course."
"I've never misjudged anything."
Shen Nan smiled and glanced at her: "So you're even praising me now?"
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
That makes some sense.
She chuckled and looked out the window with a haughty air: "Yeah."
She has a good eye, especially when it comes to her husband.
Looking at her haughty appearance, Shen Nan smiled and tugged at his lips.
"Take a nap first, I'll wake you up when we arrive."
Is it late?
"It's a bit far, more than two hours away."
Zhou Zuizui hummed in agreement.
She initially agreed to go to sleep, but actually couldn't fall asleep. She kept talking to Shen Nan, and eventually drifted off to sleep.
Shen Nan glanced at the person next to him, took advantage of the red light to cover Zhou Zuizui with a coat, adjusted the seat, and then drove off.
The wind was gentle and the clouds were clear; the afternoon sunlight gradually weakened.
As Shen Nan was driving, he suddenly received a call from his mother. He glanced at the person sleeping beside him, frowned, and answered the call.
"Hello."
Chen's mother responded with a hopeful "Anan, are you home?"
Shen Nan hummed in agreement: "I went back."
Madam Shen choked for a moment, then coughed at the look that Grandpa Shen gave her and said, "Did the mission go smoothly?"
Shen Nan chuckled softly, and upon hearing his mother's words, he curved his lips into a smile: "Mom, is there something you need from me?"
Mother Shen sighed and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but did Zui Zui cause trouble at a hotel a few days ago?" She asked worriedly, "Is she alright? I heard she even went to the police station."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nan frowned: "Who told you that?"
Mother Shen understood the meaning behind his words.
You know?
"Um."
Mother Shen frowned and couldn't help but say, "You're all grown up now, how could you cause trouble at a hotel? When other people told me, I couldn't quite believe it... Zui Zui isn't such an immature child."
To be honest, no matter how dissatisfied Shen's mother was with her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't let others talk about it. She was just that kind of unreasonable and protective mother-in-law.
It's perfectly fine to talk to someone or give them a lecture at home, but you can't let others say it... That's probably what people who are protective of their own are like.
Shen Nan listened, glanced at Zhou Zuizui who had turned over, and asked in a low voice, "Who told you that?"
Mother Shen exclaimed, "Is that the main point now?"
"yes."
Chen's mother: "...Drunk's mother invited me out to dinner today, along with a few friends. Suddenly, they started talking about this, and I didn't know anything about it."
Shen Nan frowned, glanced at the person next to him, and after thinking for a few seconds, said, "Mom, this is a long story. Zui Zui is right, she went with her friends. As for the details, I'll tell you later." He paused and said, "Mom, you should listen to other people's opinions less in the future. You can ask us directly if you have any questions."
That's why I came to ask.
Shen Nan: "...Is there anything else?"
Mother Shen choked for a moment, then asked, speechless, "You haven't been back for a long time. Do you want to come home for dinner tonight?"
"Next time," Shen Nan said softly, looking at Zhou Zuizui who was about to wake up. "I'm going out with Zuizui."
Mother Shen's eyes lit up, and she exchanged a surprised glance with Old Master Shen. After receiving the instructions, she quickly said, "Alright, have fun while you're out. Come home for dinner when you have time."
Before Shen Nan could react, his mother hung up the phone.
Shen Nan: "..."
What's wrong?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen's mother was excitedly talking to Old Master Shen.
The last time Shen Nan brought Zhou Zuizui home, they discovered that their relationship had progressed, but they didn't expect it to progress so quickly. At the time, Shen's mother also wondered if it was just for show, since they hadn't seen each other for two years... and she hadn't seen the two of them contact each other very frequently before, so such speculation was inevitable.
But hearing that the two of them went out together now, it's clear their relationship has improved.
Mrs. Shen looked at the old man and chuckled, "The two of them went out to play."
Mr. Shen nodded hurriedly, beaming with smiles: "Not bad, not bad, have fun, have fun, there's no rush to eat."
"Yes, yes, yes."
When Zhou Zuizui woke up, they were almost at their destination.
She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked around. The surroundings were very open, with two mountains in the distance, but in front of her... it seemed to be a large flat area surrounded by mountains.
She glanced at him sleepily and looked at Chen Nan: "Have we arrived yet?"
When she first woke up, her voice was hoarse and very soft.
Shen Nan listened, his ears twitched, and his voice softened slightly: "Almost there, it's just ahead. Drink some water to soothe your throat."
"Um."
"Where is this?"
Shen Nan raised his chin and pointed to a landmark not far away, saying, "Look there."
Zhou Zuizui looked over and, upon seeing those words, her eyes widened: "Flight base?"
Is this a flight base? She looked around in disbelief, unable to believe that Shen Nan would bring her to a flight base.
"Don't you need to apply for anything to come to a place like this?" In her mind, the flight base belonged to the country.
Shen Nan chuckled and reached out to rub her head: "This is a private place, opened by a friend."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
The kids from that compound are amazing; they have friends all over the world.
"Does Chu Hang still remember?"
Zhou Zuizui shook her head: "I don't remember."
"You might remember it when you see it later," Shen Nan said. "You've seen the photos."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
So, you've come to the flight base to see the stars? She looked up at the clouds outside the window, which floated in the air like cotton candy, moving slowly and leisurely.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Shen Nan chuckled: "I'll take you for a test flight."
...
The two went inside, parked their car, and were led into an office building. It wasn't really an office building; as Shen Nan put it, this was where they ate, slept, and lived. Occasionally, friends would come over and hang out there.
However, this building was quite different. Although it only had three floors, it was very large. As soon as she entered, she saw some flying equipment and fitness equipment in the living room. It was a bit messy, but it also felt like there was a sense of order in the mess.
Zhou Zuizui was amused by her own idea.
Shen Nan led her inside, and the people inside whistled as they came out to greet them: "A Nan, you're here."
Shen Nan nodded and called out, "Brother Hang."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zuizui looked at the man in front of her, and some memories seemed to resurface in her mind.
The man in front of them was very tall, about the same height as Shen Nan, and their builds were somewhat similar, but their appearances were different. Shen Nan was rugged, but this man was the refined type. He was wearing glasses and looking at the two of them. He had a handsome appearance, but he was also a bit mature. He was the low-key and reserved type, completely different from Shen Nan.
Chu Hang looked at the woman in front of him and smiled: "This must be your wife. Hello, I'm Chu Hang."
Zhou Zuizui exclaimed "Ah!" and then belatedly looked at Chen Nan: "Is it the photo I saw before?"
Shen Nan nodded: "Yes."
Zhou Zuizui finally remembered who this person was. He was older than Shen Nan, but also a legend in the compound. However, Zhou Zuizui didn't remember much about what happened back then. The only thing she remembered was that Shen Nan said he was on good terms with this person and they used to play ball together a lot. After that, they saw each other much less often.
In fact, part of the reason why Shen Nan joined the army was because of Chu Hang.
She looked at the refined-looking man in front of her, somewhat incredulous.
"Hello."
"Just call me Brother Hang," Shen Nan said. "Call me whatever you want."
"good."
Chu Hang smiled and looked at the two of them: "Your rooms have been arranged. They're on the third floor, so no one will be around to make a scene."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
Shen Nan gave Chu Hang a look.
Chu Hang smiled and said, "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Do you want to take a flight later?"
"Yes, take her with you."
Chu Hang nodded: "The coaches are all in that building in the back. You can go find them later; you know them all."
Shen Nan raised an eyebrow: "No one was changed."
"No." Chu Hang waved his hand: "I'll leave things here to you tonight. I have something to do today and will be back tomorrow."
"OK."
They met once, and then Chu Hang left.
Shen Nan took Zhou Zuizui upstairs to put away their luggage, and after asking for her opinion, the two went directly to the test flight area.
Zhou Zuizui still can't quite believe that Shen Nan can actually fly such a small plane.
When did you learn it?
Shen Nan thought for a moment: "A long time ago, I was interested in everything, so I learned a little bit of everything."
Zhou Zuizui: "..."
Shen Nan smiled with lowered eyes, put the helmet on her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared?"
Zhou Zuizui looked up at him: "Will you protect me?"
"Um."
"Then I'm not afraid."
Shen Nan smiled and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Don't worry, you'll be the first one I protect."
If he had trouble with his wife during a test flight, he wouldn't be Shen Nan. Shen Nan may lack confidence in other areas, but he has confidence in this one. It's not that he's incredibly talented; he has a good understanding of his own abilities.
With Shen Nan's words, Zhou Zuizui was completely relieved.
Flying is not difficult for Shen Nan. He had conducted tests before the flight, and the weather today was perfect for flying.
It was afternoon, and the setting sun was casting a beautiful, golden glow. Shen Nan turned to look at her: "Are you ready?"
Zhou Zuizui sat down next to him and smiled, "Okay."
She wasn't actually that afraid; she was genuinely brave.
Shen Nan chuckled and began takeoff. These small planes really don't scare people. At first, there was a slight fear, but when they started flying, Zhou Zuizui closed her eyes in fright.
Laughter came from the side. Shen Nan looked at the woman with her eyes closed and chuckled softly, "You can open your eyes now."
"Ah, okay." She paused for a moment, her eyelashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
Upon opening her eyes, she was greeted by a vast expanse of lush greenery; meadows, mountains, blue skies, and white clouds seemed almost within reach. The scenery gradually brightened, and Zhou Zuizui looked down to see the entire earth beneath her feet.
She subconsciously looked at Shen Nan, who was focused on what he was doing. After noticing her gaze, Shen Nan glanced at her and said, "Don't worry."
"Mmm." Zhou Zuizui couldn't help but laugh.
The gloomy mood I felt at noon seemed to disappear instantly.
Looking at the vast open space in front of her, the suffocation and frustration she felt had vanished.
She gazed at the scenery below, filled with immense pride and joy, a feeling she couldn't quite describe. She realized that Shen Nan... understood women so well.
It should be said that she understands herself too well.
He knew she was in a bad mood, but instead of asking why, he tried to cheer her up in his own way.
After Shen Nan flew around with Zhou Zuizui for a while, the sun set and the sky gradually darkened before they returned.
After the two got off the plane, Shen Nan helped her down and looked down at her: "Are you feeling alright?"
“Okay.” Zhou Zuizui looked up at him, extremely excited: “This is so much fun! Can I get a certificate too?”
Shen Nan smiled and said, "Sure, you can take the exam if you want."
"Uh-huh."
As the two chatted, Shen Nan also took the opportunity to cook a meal for Chu Hang.
After they finished eating, Shen Nan urged Zhou Zuizui to take a shower, saying he would take her to see the stars later.
Zhou Zuizui now figured out how Shen Nan was going to take her to see the stars.
She looked at Shen Nan and pointed to the sky: "Can you fly at night?"
“The rules don’t apply,” Shen Nan said softly, “but I don’t have much of a problem flying, I’ll be careful.”
Chu Hang was relieved, and they had flown there at night before, though not too far away.
He glanced at Zhou Zuizui, placed his hand on the back of her chair, and whispered, "I promised you I'd let you see the stars up close, and I will."
As Zhou Zuizui listened, she was momentarily at a loss for words to describe the excitement and emotions she felt.
She stared intently at Shen Nan, somewhat distracted.
She might never meet another man like him. He never tried to make her happy with words, but with actions; whatever he said, he would absolutely do.
Even the methods he used weren't simply to make girls happy; he took you along to accomplish things, to create various memories in your lives, giving them a unique and special meaning. If it were someone else, bringing you to a place like this might be just to show off, but not Chen Nan.
He genuinely took you to see the stars and arranged everything perfectly.
—Let me take you to see the stars.
Most men wouldn't even consider something as romantic as this. Shen Nan's romanticism is just too captivating.
He will make you so immersed in the world he creates that you can't wake up. Even if you do wake up, you'll only wake up in his arms, in the love he gives you.
Author's Note: Nobody guessed it, hahaha, that proves I'm a success!!!
—I'll take you up to the sky to see the stars, to see this vast Milky Way.
