The meteor shower I'd been longing for didn't happen, but instead, I got an even more romantic candy shower.
Suddenly, Chu Yuying stood up, stood in front of the window, put her hands together in front of her chest, and closed her eyes.
Xia Che knew the little girl was about to make a wish, so he smiled gently and looked to the side without disturbing her.
From the moment a person is born, the day they come into this world is imbued with special meaning.
People need a sense of ritual to live. On their birthday, even the most destitute person will scrape together money to buy themselves a small gift. It may not be a cake, but it will definitely be something else that they wouldn't normally buy.
Chu Yuying, at a young age, experienced the early death of her parents, the betrayal of her relatives and friends, and was treated like a plague by her relatives, being kicked around from one family to another like a football. If anyone had such an experience, they would probably become introverted and spend their whole life healing from it.
Chu Yuying wouldn't do that.
Just as Xia Che had previously commented, she was a girl with a very strong heart; beneath her cheerful and lively exterior lay a lonely soul.
But even today, she is no longer alone.
"I will definitely be happy."
After making her wish, Chu Yuying looked up at the rain of candy falling from the sky and silently prayed in her heart.
Standing beside the person you've decided to spend your life with, witnessing firsthand the candy rain that only exists in fairy tales—it's both romantic and unbelievable.
At this moment, Chu Yuying was more certain than anyone else that she would be happy in the future.
A lonely soul, after enduring countless hardships, has finally found her home today.
Chu Yuying had also fantasized about what kind of person she would fall in love with in the future.
After much thought, I decided it had to be a prince riding a white horse.
Being handsome means having status, and riding a white horse means having money.
Only by excelling in both areas can one truly be worthy of oneself.
But after meeting Xia Che, Chu Yuying suddenly realized that he didn't need to be too handsome or rich.
The handsome prince turned into a blond-haired boy, and the white horse he rode turned into a bicycle.
Despite the magnitude of the drop, Chu Yuying felt no resistance whatsoever.
So she chose to ride this bicycle, and tonight she found what her heart truly belonged to.
From this moment on, she will no longer waver.
Like the rain of candy falling from the night sky, she would never forget this night.
This will never be forgotten.
...
"Jiang City Breaking News: At 10:40 PM tonight, a private plane flying from Zhejiang City to Jiang City Airport experienced an unexpected cargo door opening during flight, causing cargo to fall out. Fortunately, it was just candy, and there were no casualties or damage to residents."
According to Xing Zhicheng, a private jet owner who declined to reveal his real name, since the accident has already happened, he will bear all the compensation due to him. We admire Mr. Xing's magnanimity.
"Finally, all residents of Jiang City, please enjoy this once-in-a-millennium candy rain. Of course, residents who find candy can eat it without worry, as it's all within its shelf life. Haha... Wishing you all a happy life."
Looking at the news anchor on the big screen, Xia Che touched his nose with a strange expression.
"So...this was just an accident?"
Xia Che glanced at Chu Yuying, whose expression had instantly turned blank, and wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate, struggling to suppress his laughter.
"...Laugh if you want, hmph, anyway, my divination was right, this is the blessing of the god of romance, I! am the luckiest!"
Chu Yuying proudly raised her head and snorted. No matter how much the little blond guy mocked her, she firmly believed that all of this was a great gift prepared for her by the god of romance.
There's absolutely no mistake!
"Okay, okay... It's your birthday today, so you're in charge. Whatever you say goes."
Xia Che's stomach ached from trying to suppress his laughter, but seeing Chu Yuying's fierce eyes, he wisely shut his mouth, otherwise he would be tormented by this irritated little brat again.
"Hmph...of course."
Chu Yuying grabbed Xia Che's arm and pulled him aside, saying, "I'm hungry, I want to eat something, something good!"
"Grandma, you only just realized we haven't finished eating yet? Thank you so much... I almost became the first high school student in Jiang City's history to starve to death."
"Stop being so cheeky! Are you going to eat or not?"
"eat……"
"Then you're treating."
"What?!"
"I'm the birthday person! Do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes, yes, yes... whatever Lord Chu says, I dare not disagree."
"whee……"
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked away bickering. Every passerby was drawn to the pair, secretly sighing: "All the good cabbages have been snatched up by that blond guy."
The two, engrossed in their bickering, failed to notice that not far away, a trembling gaze had witnessed their entire interaction.
"..."
Only after the two figures disappeared from sight did Shen Yanxin turn her gaze away, lower her head, and quietly clench her fair hands, which were trembling slightly.
She didn't say a word, stood there for a while, then turned and left, her figure disappearing into the shadows.
Just where Shen Yanxin had been standing, there were a few raindrop-like marks on the ground, gradually seeping into the earth before slowly drying...
...
Jiangshi Airport.
Xing Zhicheng, who had just finished an interview with reporters, came out looking slightly tired.
A convoy of cars was parked in front of us, impressive and full of presence.
After all, he is the third-in-command of the Xing family. In terms of status, no one in the entire Jiang City Chamber of Commerce can compare with him.
"...Let's go."
But Xing Zhicheng was in no mood to care about such things right now.
A secretary wearing black stockings, high heels, and a low-cut dress walked over. She had the looks of an angel and the figure of a devil. This was the secretary that Xing Jiaxin had assigned to Xing Zhicheng. She was a local from Jiang City.
In the past, Xing Zhicheng would have been quite happy to have such a beauty as his secretary, but now?
He sighed; his frustration prevented him from even entertaining the thought of it.
He casually opened the car door, got in, and kept rubbing his temples in his seat. "Let's go."
He admitted that the sudden appearance of the red rose did indeed damage his confidence.
Their initial high spirits before arriving were dampened considerably after the tears of Atlantis were stolen right before their eyes.
After Xing Zhicheng got into the car, his secretary, who noticed that he was in a bad mood, wisely did not ask any questions. After discussing with the previous driver, she took over as Xing Zhicheng's driver herself.
The vehicles slowly started, and the convoy followed closely behind, driving away from the airport.
"After all, they're from the Xia family..."
Xing Zhicheng sat in the back seat, watching the buildings rushing past the car window. His eyes gradually cleared. This accident had shattered all his restlessness.
