Chapter 59 Birthday (2)
Shi Jin called Bai Zhenzhu several times today, but no one answered, and eventually her phone was turned off.
He heard from his mother yesterday that today is Bai Zhenzhu's birthday.
He desperately wanted to celebrate Bai Zhenzhu's birthday, but he couldn't find anyone to help him.
So he had no choice but to wait for her downstairs at Bai Zhenzhu's dormitory.
He sat in his gray G-Wagon, idly scrolling through his WeChat Moments while waiting.
I suddenly came across a status update Qin Shen posted a minute ago.
It's still a nine-grid image, without any text, just a "cake" emoji.
The central panel features a photo of a woman in a black dress, holding flowers, standing in front of a restaurant's large floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at Kyoto's most vibrant night view from behind.
Without even looking closely, just from her posture and a blurry silhouette, Shi Jin knew that this must be Bai Zhenzhu.
The other nine squares are all about the little surprises he prepared for his birthday today.
The final location was a restaurant in Kyoto...
Shi Jin then realized why Bai Zhenzhu hadn't paid attention to him today—because she simply didn't have time to.
She went to celebrate her birthday romantically with Qin Shen!
A surge of intense anger swept over Shi Jin, his eyes so red they looked like they could bleed at any moment.
Just then, not far in front of his car, the Rolls-Royce that had been making a ruckus stopped in front of the girls' dormitory.
He recognized it; it was Qin Shen's father's car.
Qin Shen got out of the driver's seat first, then went around to the passenger side, opened the car door, and then gentlemanly helped Bai Zhenzhu out of the car.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Shen's face was filled with a doting and warm smile.
Looking at Bai Zhenzhu, she had the look of a happy, blissful woman on her face.
Shi Jin's hands, resting on the steering wheel, were clenched into fists, trembling slightly from the force.
Bai Zhenzhu and Qin Shen lingered at the door for a while before Qin Shen drove away.
As Bai Zhenzhu stood at the door watching Qin Shen's car leave, and turned to enter the dormitory building, her wrist was suddenly grabbed forcefully.
She was terrified and her face paled.
"Ah! Who is it!"
...
Bai Zhenzhu was forcibly dragged into the car by Shi Jin, who then locked the car door from the inside.
As soon as he got in the car, Shi Jin closed his eyes, leaned back in his seat, and tilted his head back slightly.
He was calming the turmoil and struggle within him, afraid of frightening her.
When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his usual calm, as if he wasn't the one who had almost lost his mind.
Shi Jin turned his head, his dark eyes staring intently at her, his lips pressed tightly together, as if he wanted to suppress all his pain and dissatisfaction between his lips and teeth.
He paused for a few seconds, then asked in a low, hoarse voice, "You went to celebrate your birthday with Qin Shen?"
Bai Zhenzhu was secretly delighted, but on the surface she still wore a pitiful and innocent expression. She asked in confusion, "Yes, it's my birthday today, and Qin Shen invited me to dinner. Is there a problem?"
Yes, there's no problem. What's wrong with single men and women celebrating their birthdays together?
But Shi Jin's heart felt like it was being roasted over a fire. The poisonous vine of jealousy grew wildly and entwined in his heart, causing him to suffer in agony.
His breathing grew heavy, his jawline tightened, and he forcefully closed his eyelids again.
He seemed to be holding back.
When Shi Jin opened his eyes again, he didn't say anything. Instead, he fastened his seatbelt, stepped on the gas, and drove off.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at him, puzzled, and silently fastened her seatbelt before asking, "Shi Jin, it's getting late. Where are you taking me?"
"To celebrate your birthday with you."
"???!!!"
...
Half an hour later, Shi Jin drove the car to a place by the sea, similar to a ferry crossing.
Bai Zhenzhu had been keeping quiet all night and was quite tired, so she dozed off for a while in the car.
When I opened my eyes and saw this place, it was a bit strange, and all sorts of random thoughts immediately popped into my head.
"Shi Jin, are you trying to sell me to Africa? Why did you bring me here to smuggle me out?!"
Shi Jin was amused by her joke and chuckled softly.
Then, he thoughtfully unbuckled Bai Zhenzhu's seatbelt and affectionately patted her hair, saying, "Being able to draw really makes a difference; your imagination is so rich!"
Bai Zhenzhu shook her head, frowning anxiously as she asked, "Shi Jin, tell me quickly, why did you bring me here? There's no one here, and it's so dark, I'm scared!"
"With me here, trust me."
Shi Jin did not answer her question, but instead took her hand and intertwined their fingers, walking towards the shore.
I wonder if there are motion-activated lights installed on this shore? Why did all the lights on the shore turn on as soon as they approached?
Suddenly, a super luxurious yacht appeared in front of White Pearl.
The yacht rested quietly on the shore, like an elegant poet.
Its hull was painted a classic white, shimmering with a soft sheen under the lights and moonlight.
What's even more incredible about White Pearl is that there are two eye-catching English words "white pearl" on the hull.
The English for "white pearl" is pretty good; I immediately understood what it meant—a white pearl.
She looked at the man beside her, who seemed to be in complete control of the situation, with surprise and a touch of emotion.
Choking back tears, she asked, "White pearls? Are they for my white pearls?"
Shi Jin looked at the yacht with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Yes, this yacht is called Pearl. I've already bought it and it's a gift for you."
Bai Zhenzhu was stunned at first, her eyes widened, and her face was full of astonishment. Then, the corners of her mouth began to turn up, revealing a joyful smile.
She gently covered her chest with her hand, tears glistening in her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed, her lips parted slightly, her face showing deep emotion.
She leaned close to Shi Jin, eventually pressing herself completely against him, as if she wanted to remember this touching moment.
"Shi Jin, am I dreaming? You're really going to give me this yacht?"
She was still deeply shocked.
She has received many gifts from many people since she was a child, but none of them have ever been so valuable or thoughtful.
For her, the emotion she felt at that moment was genuine.
"Yes, this is my birthday present for you. From now on, it belongs to you..."
"Would you like to come aboard with me and have a look around?"
"Is it okay?" Bai Zhenzhu looked at Shi Jin with eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
"sure."
