Shen Jiachen often talks about his younger brother, and you can tell that the two brothers have a really good relationship.
Shen Jiachen briefly explained his background, and then said to Wen Zhixia, "Zhixia, I didn't mean to keep it from you. I was just afraid that if I told you, you would feel that this kind of family is very tiring."
Wen Zhixia was already speechless with shock from the moment the eavesdropping and tracking began. What kind of time is this to be doing this?
Seeing her shocked expression, Shen Jiachen smiled and said, "But don't worry, after Jiazhou graduates, I will step down from Shen's Group and just keep the shares."
Wen Zhixia asked, "So, are you planning to go back to the US then?"
"I'm not sure," Shen Jiachen said. "Whether it's the US or the city of A, it only depends on the choice of my future partner."
Wen Zhixia tilted her head, and Shen Jiachen said, "If she's willing to go back to M country with me, I'll go back to M country to develop my career. If she's willing to stay in A city, I'll develop my career in A city. Wherever she is, that's where I will be."
Wen Zhixia puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything.
Shen Jiachen added, "If we stay in City A, we might need to take a month each year to go back and visit my mother. She's not in good health and can't travel around much, so it's the younger generation who have to travel."
Wen Zhixia lowered her head again. Shen Jiachen didn't insist on getting her answer. He and Wen Zhixia had already reached the stage of mutual understanding.
At times like these, Shen Jiachen felt more and more that he had been too impulsive before, daring to pursue someone without being prepared for anything, but the result was good.
Shen Jiachen said, "At that time, apart from my younger brother Jiazhou, the rest of the Shen family members..."
Wen Zhixia quickly said, "Alright, let's talk about something else."
It feels like Shen Jiachen is about to pull out a ring and propose. He either doesn't say anything, or he just spills everything out.
Shen Jiachen took a deep breath and said, "I'll say one last thing."
Wen Zhixia pursed her lips, and Shen Jiachen said in a low voice, "Please give me a little time. I plan to hand over my position at Shen's Group so that my future girlfriend won't get involved in any inexplicable things. I will handle it well."
Wen Zhixia looked into his eyes, as if she were being drawn into them. She opened her mouth, and finally mumbled an "Mmm": "I know."
Shen Jiachen's eyes lit up again, like a puppy's.
He was about to say something when he heard a loud bang, and fireworks went off on the other side of the river.
Both of their attention was drawn to the fireworks, which flashed through the air for a moment, but soon another one exploded, its beauty reflected on the calm river surface.
It has a unique flavor.
Shen Jiachen looked for a while, then looked away and lowered his eyes to look at the person beside him.
The light from the fireworks illuminated Wen Zhixia's face, making it appear as if it were twinkling stars, both lovely and beautiful.
He smiled and looked up at the fireworks in the sky.
Suddenly, Wen Zhixia beside her said, "Shen Jiachen."
Shen Jiachen hummed in agreement and looked at her again, only to meet Wen Zhixia's smiling eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Wen Zhixia."
Wen Zhixia said seriously, "Happy Chinese New Year."
Shen Jiachen also said very earnestly, "Happy Chinese New Year."
They both laughed again and continued to look up to admire the magnificent fireworks.

In May, summer quietly chased away the brief spring, and the temperature soared. Spring clothes that had only been worn for a few days were replaced with short sleeves.
Wen Zhixia received Shen Jiachen's message just after class. She swiped her newly bought phone from last month and thought, "It's been a month, and it's still so smooth."
Her old phone held on until April, when it finally broke completely when she accidentally dropped it on the ground.
[Shen Jiachen: I'm back from my business trip. Are you free tonight?]
Shen Jiachen said he would hand over his current position at Shen's, but he was in charge of many projects, so the handover would take a long time. He also had to assign each project to the appropriate departments. During this period, he went out several times.
They thought that after the New Year, the two of them would have more time to spend together, but Shen Jiachen spent more than half of the month working overtime, and sometimes he would go out again after only a few days of returning home.
It was abruptly transformed from face-to-face flirtation into flirtation between phones.
Shen Jiachen was angry, both openly and secretly, several times.
Wen Zhixia continued with her life as usual. She replied with a "hello," knowing that Shen Jiachen was coming back today, so she deliberately took the day off and didn't go to the coffee shop.
[Shen Jiachen: I just got home. I'll come over in about an hour. Are you hungry? If you are, please just eat something light for now. I'll take you to eat something nice when I get here.]
Shen Jiachen: It's a reward~
[Wen Zhixia: A reward?]
[Shen Jiachen: Yes! It's a reward for all my hard work; I can finally end this torture of imprisonment.]
Going to work is like being in prison.
Even though he wasn't in front of her, Wen Zhixia could almost see Shen Jiachen's sullen face.
[Wen Zhixia: I'm not hungry. Let me know when you arrive, and I'll come out.]
[Shen Jiachen: I'm charging forward!]
Why are you charging like that? You're not a puppy.
However, Wen Zhixia didn't reply to him, otherwise it would have gone on forever.
She returned to her dorm with her bag. This semester, Yu Mingxue stayed there less often. The two of them talked as before, and Wen Zhixia didn't really know what Yu Mingxue was thinking.
Wen Zhixia put down her bag, and just then her phone pinged again. She thought it was Shen Jiachen sending another message, but she didn't expect it to be Wen Sisi's homeroom teacher.
With the college entrance exam just around the corner, Wen Zhixia and Wen Sisi's homeroom teacher have started talking more frequently.
Wen Sisi can barely get 500 points now, but most of the time she still fluctuates around 480. Whenever she has time, she tutors Wen Sisi.
A score of 400+ is barely enough to get into a decent public second-tier university, but a score of 500 might be enough to get a good chance.
[The college entrance exam is just around the corner. Many students in the class are under a lot of pressure and their mental state isn't good. Sisi is in even worse shape. I heard from a classmate at noon today that she even vomited. They said they would take her to the hospital, but she refused. Zhixia, she's going home this week. You'd better take her to the hospital to get her checked out. She's already at this point, it's the very last minute. Don't let it interfere with her college entrance exam.]
Wen Zhixia quickly replied with an "okay".
Wen Sisi has always been in good health and rarely gets sick, so she must have been really feeling unwell to have vomited this time.
Wen Zhixia sent Wen Sisi a message to ask about her health, and Wen Sisi replied quickly: [It's just a bit hot and I had heatstroke, but I'm fine~ I'll talk to you later, I'm going back to studying.]
Wen Zhixia gave her a few more instructions, but she still thought that she should take her to the hospital for a check-up after lunch this Saturday.
She took a deep breath; this was the final step, and she couldn't afford any mistakes.
