Chapter 50 Fireworks
Yu Zhi held a furry hairpin in each hand and kept gesturing at Shen Wang's head.
"Try this one with cat ears first!" Yu Zhi showed an "evil" smile, like a child who had found a new toy.
She smoothed Chen Wang's hair with her hands. His hair was just the right amount of softness and hardness, which made Yu Zhi very satisfied.
After putting on cat ears, his calm and cold temperament instantly became approachable, creating a full contrast of cuteness.
"Wow, so cute!" Yu Zhi even flicked the cat ears lightly and pulled him in front of the mirror.
Chen Wang couldn't believe that the person in the mirror with red ears and a shy look was actually him.
He didn't dare to look at his "ugly" self in the mirror anymore and hurriedly took off the cat ears. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhi put the horn hair accessory back on his head with incredible smoothness.
It looked like he was actively cooperating with the other party to try it out.
Chen Wang: “…”
"This one looks more lively," Yu Zhi said to herself, "Not bad either."
Chen Wang didn't move, letting Yu Zhi put on the puppy ear hair accessories again.
"I like this the most!" Yu Zhi became excited and couldn't help but rub his head. "How is it? It looks good, right?"
Chen Wang looked up at himself in the mirror and felt like a puppy tamed by her, obediently listening to all her instructions.
"I……"
He wanted to protest, but he fell silent after Yu Zhi picked up a pair of kitten ears and put them on.
"What?" Yu Zhi, wearing kitten ears that were almost a couple's style, looked at him puzzledly.
"Nothing." Chen Wang took back his words of refusing to wear it.
If I can wear it with her, it doesn't seem unacceptable...
The two of them walked out of the store wearing hair accessories. There were many couples around them who were also wearing pairs of plush ears and taking intimate photos together.
"Let's take a photo too!" Yu Zhi suggested.
"Okay." Chen Wang's Adam's apple rolled.
"You're tall, you take the photo." Yu Zhi instructed him, "Move the camera a little further away so we're both in the center. That's right!"
With a click, the photo is frozen.
The two heads were closely pressed together, one higher and one lower. The girl smiled brightly, while the boy only raised the corners of his mouth shyly, but the happiness at this moment had already overflowed from the photo.

After playing a bunch of games in the afternoon, the two of them were so excited that they didn't even have time to eat dinner.
"Oh my, it's already nine o'clock!" Yu Zhi exclaimed, "The fireworks are about to start!"
There were also many tourists around who were rushing to the fireworks viewing platform, all of them were in a hurry.
Yu Zhi didn't care too much and quickly took Chen Wang's hand and ran forward along with the crowd.
Chen Wang was being led by her, and all he could see was the girl's running back and her hair flying back in the wind.
This time's hand holding was different from the previous contact during the project.
It was only the size of a palm's contact, but it made him even more excited.
It was as if he and Yu Zhi were a real couple, holding hands naturally.
Even the silver dragon in the spiritual sea trembled with excitement, as if expressing the attraction from the depths of the soul, inviting it to come closer.
Nine o'clock sharp.
Yu Zhi and Shen Wang just happened to arrive at the best spot in the viewing stands.
Before Yu Zhi could calm down from the intense heartbeat from running, there was a bang and a huge firework exploded in the air.
One after another, they almost light up the night sky, and the colorful embers spread all over the sky, spreading out like colorful ink soaked into black paper.
Sparks fell like heavy rain, enveloping the people below. The girl's eyes and eyebrows were illuminated by the star rain. She smiled, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Chen Wang forgot to breathe at this moment, his entire mind was occupied by the person in front of him. The sound of fireworks exploding could not cover up his intense heartbeat, as if it was born to beat only for her.

It was already late when we returned to the military academy.
There were several missed calls from Yu Ji in Yu Zhi's light brain.
It’s not that she didn’t see it this time, but she didn’t want Yu Ji to affect her good mood today.
Yu Zhi turned on the mute mode and fell asleep comfortably.
Yu Ji, whose dignity was once again "challenged", was so angry that he couldn't even sleep well.
The next day, Yu Zhi replied to Yu Ji after breakfast.
"Dad, is there something wrong?" Yu Zhi asked without any apology.
Yu Ji was so angry that he couldn't sleep last night. He had only slept for a few hours when he was woken up by Yu Zhi's call. His temples were throbbing and his anger was rushing to his head.
"What were you doing yesterday?" he asked sharply.
"I went out to play yesterday." Yu Zhi said innocently.
"With whom?"
"classmate."
Yu Ji closed his eyes and pinched his brows: "Is it that kid from the slums?"
Yu Zhi understood that someone was telling tales to Yu Ji.
"Yes, Dad," she said nonchalantly.
"What did I tell you?" Seeing that she showed no remorse, Yu Ji became even more furious. "I told you to spend more time with the extraordinary people from top families, but you went to find such a lowly citizen?!"
"You told me you weren't going home on the weekend just to go out with him?!"
Yu Zhi paused for two seconds before speaking: "He is not an inferior citizen."
"Do you think I don't know? He is from the Pal District. If he is not an inferior citizen, what is he?!" Yu Ji thought she was still lying to him.
"He is wandering around like me, and his spirit form is a mutant silver dragon, SSS level." Yu Zhi decided to give Yu Ji a little hint, so that he could take the bait first.
"Dad, ordinary people in the lower class districts don't have this kind of bloodline talent." Yu Zhi said calmly and ruthlessly, "I guess he is related to the Shen family."
Yu Ji was stunned by her bombshell, and also shocked by his daughter's thoughts. After a long while, he hesitated and said, "Are you sure? What do you mean?"
"High probability." Yu Zhi said lightly, "But even if it's unrelated, SSS level is worth our investment, isn't it?"
Yu Ji only knew that he was a boy from the slums, but he didn't know that he was so talented.
"...Just be sensible."
"Dad," Yu Zhi took the lead in the conversation, "This is just my guess. It's best not to let anyone else know, otherwise it will backfire."
"Don't send anyone to investigate. He's in military school now. If there really is a connection, the Shen family will find out sooner or later. It wouldn't be good if they found out that our family knew about it in advance."
Yu Ji understood what she meant. If people knew that Yu Zhi approached Shen Wang deliberately because she thought he was from the Shen family, then all her efforts would be in vain.
"Yeah, I know." He coughed lightly, trying to maintain the demeanor of a superior.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhi fell into deep thought.
It is highly likely that Yu Yi leaked the information to Yu Ji to put pressure on her.
However, after she said this, although Yu Ji was only half-believing and half-doubting, he would no longer insist on obstructing her contact with Shen Wang, and would even keep it a secret for her.
Although she had revealed everything to Yu Ji, she didn't have to worry about any adverse effects on Shen Wang.
