"Shushu, you've become more and more beautiful after all these years."
"Thank you," Shen Yishu replied politely.
Happy birthday!
"Thanks."
Happy birthday, Shushu.
...
More and more people gathered around, and the number of people separating Shen Yishu and Wen Nian increased.
Shen Yishu was getting a little anxious.
When she saw Wen Nian turn to leave, she shouted, "Wait a minute!"
The entire room fell silent.
Even Wen Nian turned around to look at her.
Shen Yishu said to everyone apologetically, "A very important friend of mine has arrived. I'll go and say hello to him first."
Everyone expressed their understanding, but they were all very curious about who this important friend of hers was.
Lin Yusheng? But they didn't see her.
Wen Nian was equally curious, and then he watched as Shen Yishu lifted her skirt and walked towards him, then stopped in front of him and said with a smile, "I thought you weren't coming."
At this moment, all the surrounding scenery and sounds were blurred, and Wen Nian could only hear Shen Yishu's voice and see her alone.
This blatant favoritism struck Wen Nian's heart directly, and something seemed about to burst forth from within him.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Shen Yishu couldn't help but wave her hand in front of his eyes.
Wen Nian then came to his senses and heard people whispering among themselves.
Who is he?
"I don't know, I've never seen it before."
"Look around, does anyone recognize this person?"
"Never seen it before."
...
As the discussion began, many people turned their attention to Wen Nian.
Wen Nian felt like she was being scrutinized and resisted all over.
He said somewhat awkwardly, "I went back to Lucheng yesterday to help my brother with some things, and I just happened to be there."
Shen Yishu nodded, "It's good that you've come."
"Are you hungry? Have something to eat," Shen Yishu asked with concern.
Wen Nian said, "I'm not hungry."
What would you like to drink?
"I'm not thirsty."
Shen Yishu, "Would you like some wine?"
"I drove the car."
"All right."
A group of Shen Yishu's former classmates couldn't help but be curious as they watched the usually pampered young lady eagerly coaxing a man.
But because of his identity, he didn't dare to ask.
What's actually more intriguing are the men, because the majority of those invited to Shen Yishu's birthday party were single men, which clearly indicates her intentions.
There are countless men who want to marry Shen Yishu. She is young, beautiful, and has a good family background. Which man wouldn't be tempted?
Wen Nian wasn't used to being watched by so many people, so she said, "I'm going out for some fresh air."
"I'll stay with you," Shen Yishu said instinctively.
Then the whole room fell silent. Only then did Shen Yishu realize that she was the main character today, and it wouldn't be good for her to leave abruptly.
But rather than awkwardly chatting with a bunch of unfamiliar people here, she really wanted to go out for a walk with Wen Nian. Who knows, they might be able to open up to each other, confirm their relationship, and if things progressed quickly, they might even share a kiss.
The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she became. Just when she was at a loss, her mother appeared.
Mother Shen appeared, arm in arm with Father Shen. She smiled and said, "Why are you all standing there like that? Hurry up and eat and drink as you please, make yourselves at home."
As she spoke, she winked at her daughter.
Shen Yishu instantly understood her mother's good intentions. She grabbed Wen Nian's arm and fled with him.
During this time, Shen's parents had taken a close look at Wen Nian.
Wen Nian felt only nervousness, not disgust, at their scrutiny, and he didn't even realize when Shen Yishu pulled him away.
Shen Yishu brought Wen Nian to the back garden of the Shen family.
It's early spring now, and many flowers are in full bloom, offering a unique beauty even at night.
Shen Yishu said, "Don't you like this kind of place?"
"I'm not used to it."
"Then I don't need to get used to it, anyway I hate these kinds of occasions."
Wen Nian stopped and couldn't help but look at her.
Shen Yishu felt a little guilty under his gaze. Was she too direct or presumptuous?
Her hand, which had been resting on Wen Nian's arm, became a little guilty when she saw him and took it off.
Looking at her empty arm, Wen Nian felt a sense of emptiness and loss.
He put his hands in his pockets to hide the turmoil in his heart.
"Is it okay for you to run away on your birthday?"
Shen Yishu said, "With my parents around, there won't be any surprises."
She knew Wen Nian wasn't one to say anything, so she deliberately tried to find a topic, "What's your favorite flower?"
"dislike."
Shen Yishu took a breath. Well, not only could the other person not come up with anything, but he couldn't even connect the dots properly.
Wen Nian realized that the conversation was getting awkward, so he suggested the name of a flower, "Begonia."
The island of the Dead Slave is mostly planted with crabapple trees, all of which were planted by my brother's men.
Shen Yishu looked at the garden, which had not a single crabapple tree, and said, "..."
"Then guess what my favorite flower is."
Wen Nian didn't think for long before answering, "Camellia."
Shen Yishu was both surprised and delighted, "How did you know?"
"What you see here is mostly camellia trees."
Shen Yishu: "..." As expected of someone who grew up with Lu Zhengye, her mind works really fast.
"You guessed it right. Camellias come in a variety of colors. White represents purity and innocence, while red represents charm. Because they bloom in late winter and early spring, they also represent aloofness and nobility. At the same time, they also symbolize ideal love. When I was little, I liked them because I thought they were pretty. Later, after learning about their meaning and flower language, I liked them even more."
