"Mrs. Wu, open this bottle of red wine," Shen Xiuqi joked, "Let Manager Fu from our Qingshan Winery taste it and see whether this foreign wine tastes better or the domestic wine has more flavor."
Fu Baoer was satisfied and sat down next to Shen Suizhi. Mrs. Wu was surprised. She didn't expect that this little girl was already a manager at such a young age. But wasn't she here to go to college?
No one at the table noticed Mrs. Wu's mood change. This was entirely because everyone knew Fu Baoer too well. She was more curious than anyone else and had been like this since she was a child.
You said she has never seen the world, which is true, but Fu Baoer is open and honest. If she doesn't know something, she doesn't know it, and she won't feel inferior. She will just blink her big watery eyes and ask you, what is this?
Shen Xiuqi liked Fu Baoer just like this. If he hadn't spent a few years abroad and knew a little more, he might not have won Fu Baoer's favor when he was in Qingshan Village!
Mrs. Wu woke up and brought the wine over, pouring it for everyone one by one. According to her observation, except for Fu Baoer who was curious about everything, there was nothing special about the other people in the room. Even the old lady from the countryside seemed to be used to eating good food. She didn't even blink when faced with the table full of delicious food.
What a strange group of people. In the past, many poor relatives came to the Shen family to ask for money. After entering the house, they all looked around with wide eyes. Why did they become calm after being surprised and curious at the beginning?
Fu Baoer picked up the goblet and turned it around. The cup was quite beautiful, but she didn't know what it tasted like. "Let me try it."
"Hey, isn't this just wine?" Fu Baoer took a sip and was disappointed. "Grape wine in a luminous cup, our ancients have already played with it."
Shen Xiuqi was amused by Fu Baoer and laughed out loud: "That's right, this foreign wine is nothing special. It can't be compared with our Chinese wine."
Fu Baoer took a sip. She also knew how to make these kinds of wines. "I make better wines than this. When our winery produces wine for sale in the future, we won't have any trouble finding a market."
Mrs. Wu was even more shocked. This little girl could also make wine?
Shen Xiuqi thought this was a good idea. Wine is very suitable for women to drink and there will be no shortage of market in the future.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Fengxia pulled Fu Xiuzhi to have a private talk. Everyone else was tired and went back to their rooms to tidy up and go to sleep. Only Fu Baoer was left, still pulling Shen Suizhi to look around.
"What is this?" Fu Baoer pointed at a machine that looked like a morning glory. "It's so beautiful. What is it for?"
Shen then put the record on the phonograph and moved the needle. "This is called a phonograph. It was developed by the famous inventor Edison. Listen, this song is called "Sweet Dreams". It's one of my favorite songs."
The moving music flowed slowly. Fu Baoer closed her eyes and appreciated it for a while, praising it sincerely: "It sounds good and soothing."
Shen Suiyi glanced at Mrs. Wu who was still standing in the living room and motioned her to go out first. Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment before she realized that she seemed to have disturbed the two of them and hurried back to her room.
When they were the only two people left in the living room, Shen Suizhi stretched out his right hand, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to invite you to dance with me?"
"Well, handsome sir." Fu Baoer couldn't dance, but she still put her hand in Shen Suizhi's hand generously.
Shen then gently pulled, and held Fu Baoer's waist with his left hand: "Put your hands on my shoulders, step on my shoes, and I will lead you to dance a few times."
Fu Baoer did as she was told and moved closer to Shen Suizhi's body. Shen Suizhi led Fu Baoer in a light dance step, "How come you've become lighter as you've grown?"
"Really? I feel heavier." Fu Baoer was afraid of falling, so she had to move her whole body closer.
Shen then felt the girl in his arms approaching, and couldn't help but hold Fu Baoer's hand tighter. The girl's palm was slender and soft, and it seemed as if there were no bones in his palm.
Under the dim light, Shen Suizhi's tall figure completely enveloped Fu Baoer, and his shadow was projected on the ground, constantly changing with the music.
Shen Suizhi was extremely patient. The weight of the girl in his arms had no effect on him at all. His dance steps were steady and standard. Fu Baoer actually learned them very quickly, but for some reason, she didn't want to get off Shen Suizhi's feet.
Shen then lowered his head. The top of Fu Baoer's hair just touched his chin, and he felt a little itchy. He couldn't tell whether the feeling came from his chin or in his heart.
"Bao'er, you seem to have grown a lot taller." Shen Suizhi remembered that when he left, Fu Bao'er was about 1.65 meters tall, and now he should be 1.7 meters tall. "You have really grown up."
"Maybe it's because I stepped on your foot," Fu Baoer came down and danced formally with Shen Suiwei, "I learned it, let's dance again."
Shen Sui's arms felt empty for a moment. Bao'er was too smart and learned things too quickly. It would be better if he could learn more slowly. This sudden idea made Shen Sui startled. He took a few steps in a mess and stepped on Fu Bao'er's slippers.
Fu Baoer cried out, and her feet slipped out of her slippers. Shen Yi looked down and her face turned red involuntarily.
The white and tender feet stepped on the wooden floor, as if glowing slightly. Shen then squatted down and put on Fu Baoer's shoes. The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. They didn't speak and continued to dance tacitly.
As the music became faster and faster, the two danced closer and closer, and Fu Baoer's face was almost buried in Shen Weizhi's chest. She smelled the scent of Shen Weizhi, a faint water vapor, like dew in the early morning of summer. This was a scent that only she could smell, a scent that belonged uniquely to Lord Zhenlong.
Fu Baoer suddenly felt a little hot, definitely from dancing. She slightly distanced herself from Shen Suizhi, lowered her head and deliberately ignored the constant breath coming from him.
After the dance, Fu Baoer's face turned red. "I'm going upstairs first. See you tomorrow."
Fu Baoer pulled out her hand, and Shen then felt the emptiness in her palm and arms, and suddenly felt reluctant to let go. "I will take you to the Forbidden City tomorrow. Have a good rest tonight. Good night."
Shen Suizhi really wanted to say, I hope you have a sweet dream, but for some reason, he couldn't say it out loud.
Fu Baoer had already stepped onto the stairs. She didn't turn around when she heard the words, but just hummed softly.
After returning to the house, Fu Baoer realized that her heartbeat seemed to be a little faster, and the abnormality was obvious in the quiet room.
Shen Suizhi was not much better off. He sat at his desk, with Fu Baoer's sweet smile in his mind. The scenes of the two of them getting along from childhood to adulthood appeared in his mind.
Shen Suizhi suddenly smiled. He used to look forward to not growing up, but now he feels that growing up is a good thing.
