Chapter 1475: Five million yuan.
"The meaning of the book..." Zhou Enyou didn't know what to say for a moment.
Liu Shuyi pursed his lips and gave an ugly smile.
For the next three days, Liu Shuyi never left the room.
On the fourth day, Zhou Enyou really couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on Liu Shuyi's door.
Liu Shuyi opened the door of the room, looking a little haggard.
"Are you... okay?" Zhou Enyou said, "That bastard is just crazy and throwing a tantrum. Don't bother with him." Zhou Enyou looked at Liu Shuyi's outfit and said, "Are you going out?"
Liu Shuyi nodded, "Yeah." She took out the ring she had picked up from the trash can from the drawer.
"I'm going to go out for a while. I won't be back for dinner." After Liu Shuyi said that, he took his things and went out.
Zhou Chenshu said that Liu Shuyi had been to this villa before and found it quiet in a bustling environment. When she bought it, she also said that she liked quietness, so that's why she bought it.
Now that the lights were on inside, she had no chance to go in again.
Liu Shuyi, dressed in black, called Zhou Chenshu.
"Hello?"
"Are you free now? Can you come out?"
"Now? I have guests at home right now. If it's not urgent, is next week okay?"
Liu Shuyi saw the man standing on the balcony through the light and shadow. A few seconds later, someone called him. The voice was not loud, but Liu Shuyi had good eyesight and could see clearly that it was the girl that Zhou Chenshu had talked to Zhou Enyou about that day and that they were dating after getting to know each other.
At that moment, Liu Shuyi suddenly understood a word.
Times have changed.
Many things feel like this when the page is turned.
"Hello?" Zhou Chenshu was on the other end of the phone. "Where are you?"
"It's okay now," Liu Shuyi said, standing under a lush tree. It was a scorching summer day, and all the heat from the night had settled on the ground, sweltering like a giant steamer, making it uncomfortable. "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you, but... it's okay now."
Zhou Chenshu frowned in the darkness, "Are you really okay?"
"Well," Liu Shuyi tightened his grip on the ring box, "get busy."
Zhou Chenshu was silent for a while. He felt as if he saw Liu Shuyi, but when he tried to look carefully, the man had completely walked into the darkness.
"Where are you?"
"At home," Liu Shuyi said softly, "Okay, it's okay, go ahead and have fun. Rest early. Don't stay up late if you're not feeling well."
Zhou Chenshu: "Well, I just..." paused for a few seconds, "I think I saw you."
Liu Shuyi walked deeper into the area. This villa area was newly developed, with a low occupancy rate and many dark areas.
"You must have seen it wrong. I'm hanging up."
Zhou Chenshu paused again, then asked her, "Are you... unhappy?"
"No." Liu Shuyi sat down under a big tree, leaning his back against it, and said softly, "I'm very happy. The child I raised is doing well now. I'm... very happy."
Zhou Chenshu remained silent.
"You... have always said you're not as good as the other kids in your family, but your innocence is actually the best, Zhou Chenshu." In the darkness, Liu Shuyi's tears rolled down, but her tone was emotionless. She whispered, "I've always wanted to," and after a pause, Liu Shuyi added, "to protect your innocence, because you have so many things that I envy but will never have in my lifetime. It's very... precious."
"I..." Liu Shuyi paused for a long time this time.
Zhou Chenshu's voice fell silent. "What?"
"I've always felt like I didn't have much to give you," Liu Shuyi's voice trailed off until the person on the other end could no longer hear it. "I'm also afraid I'll drag you into my own abyss. I'm a terrible person. I never knew what you liked about me before, but now it seems there's really nothing to like about me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be willing to give me a chance to explain."
"I... am not very good at talking. I don't know how to tell you so that you can calm down and come back. All I can do is wait. I don't know what else I can do. I'm afraid that if I do something, you'll be even angrier. I can only wait. I want to... wait for you to soften your heart."
"It's... just like before, except that this time my luck was a little off, and I didn't wait."
"But, kid, she's doing well now. I've checked that girl out. She comes from a good family, is a good person, has excellent character and academics, and has a good temperament. It's like... I don't have any reason to insist."
Liu Shuyi looked at the ring in his hand and dug it out bit by bit with the wooden stick. "Originally, I wanted to give it back to you and wish you... all the best. Although it's not given to me, my childhood wish should be fulfilled. But you don't need it anymore. I'll give you something new as a new couple."
Zhou Chenshu felt that Liu Shuyi was talking, but he couldn't hear a word, which made him a little nervous.
"What did you say? Speak louder."
Liu Shuyi wiped away her tears, then raised her voice, "Nothing, is it windy over there? Go back and get some rest early."
"What did you just say?"
Liu Shuyi didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
In the dark night, Liu Shuyi buried the two rings, and then sat under the tree for the whole night.
That night.
She met a paparazzi taking pictures, and the paparazzi squatted beside her, "Hey, beautiful lady, what are you doing? I'm taking pictures of a celebrity. Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
Liu Shuyi asked him, "Which star?"
Paparazzi: "Zhou Chenshu, the one who's been very popular recently. He was cyberbullied before, but he's back on the rise again. He's good-looking and his family is rich. I'm so envious. Hey, do you know Zhou Chenshu?"
Liu Shuyi: 'Yeah.'
The paparazzi took another look at Liu Shuyi and said, "I didn't expect someone as pretty as you to be a fan."
Liu Shuyi: "Didn't you say that? He's handsome."
The paparazzi nodded and looked towards Zhou Chenshu's home. "Yeah, hey, if I were a woman, I'd like him too. I've been following him for a long time, starting a year ago. I've shot him from every angle, but I've never taken a single ugly photo of him."
Liu Shuyi was bored and said, "You went to the desert with him."
Paparazzi: "Ah, our editor-in-chief asked me to go with you. Huo, that place is not for humans to stay. Look at my face and hands, I have aged ten years. I have been taking pictures for a long time and I want to ask Zhou Chenshu how he maintains his appearance. How come he looks better and better after only one year? It's amazing."
Liu Shuyi leaned back against a tree and asked, "So what have you filmed this year?"
The paparazzi were talkative, and when they met a beautiful woman, they talked even more. "What can I take pictures of? That damn place, there's not even a place to relax. The desert wind blew the hair of several actresses, making them look like ghosts. Zhou Chenshu likes to go where the wind is strong. At first, Shengxia was with me, but later he couldn't. Isn't it strange? Zhou Chenshu, a young man, doesn't like to look at beautiful women, he only likes to look at the moon. All the photos I took are of him looking at the moon from various angles, talking about it. He's not tired of it, but I am. Later, I stopped taking pictures and just told the editor-in-chief that Zhou Chenshu was looking at the moon. My editor-in-chief was also devastated. If it wasn't too far away, I would have come back."
Hearing this, Liu Shuyi turned around and asked him, "Do you have any photos? Let me see."
The paparazzi said "Oh", took out the film from his bag and put it into the camera, "Look, you will know how boring your idol is. I can't figure out what's so good about the moon on the sofa."
That night.
The paparazzi waited outside all night, and Liu Shuyi looked at the photos taken by the paparazzi for a year.
When the paparazzi woke up the next day, his entire bag, along with his camera and all the photos he had taken in the previous year, was gone. He was shocked to realize he had been robbed! He was about to call the police, but when he turned around, he saw a check pressed on the stone next to him.
A line of numbers was printed neatly on the top of the check: Five million yuan.
The paparazzi were baffled as to how that shabby photo of people looking at the moon, which their editor-in-chief disliked, could be worth five million.
In the end, it could only be explained as a brainless fan. So, the paparazzi took the prize money and happily came out of the building. He bought new equipment and planned to follow Zhou Chenshu for a long time. Who knows, he might meet that beautiful brainless fan again. That would make a lot of money.
