The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Shen Zui smiled, nodding: "Pretty good, this is already quite good, Nuannuan, thank you!"

He pointed to the coffee beside Shi Nuan’s hand: "The cappuccino here is very good, you should try it!"

Shi Nuan responded, picked it up and took a sip.

The taste was indeed nice, very delicious.

Seeing Shi Nuan drink, Shen Zui laughed like a child: "Right, last time my assistant ordered a few takeout coffees from this shop, after drinking it I thought it tasted wonderful, especially like the kind we used to have at that place called ’Long Time No See’. I thought at the time, if I had the chance, I’d definitely bring you here, definitely..."

Shen Zui’s voice trailed off, and the smile on his face faded.

The two of them silently looked at each other for a moment, then Shen Zui suddenly covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling.

Shi Nuan felt a bit uncomfortable too, but she did not cry.

She reached out and nudged Shen Zui, softly calling him: "Shen Zui..."

Shen Zui nodded while wiping his tears: "Sorry, Nuannuan... I didn’t mean to, I just, I just..."

Shi Nuan pressed her lips together, said: "Shen Zui, thank you!"

No matter how many unpleasant things happened between them before, and whether or not that incident was Shen Zui’s doing.

This boy had treated her with sincerity, trying hard to create happiness for her.

Shi Nuan was very grateful to him, truly, very grateful.

Shen Zui sniffled, trying his best to put on a smile for Shi Nuan, he said: "Nuannuan, I also... I also thank you, thank you for making me realize I could love a girl so fiercely, and thank you for letting me know that some things, once missed, will never come back, and we must cherish what we have now... Thank you, Nuannuan!"

Shi Nuan raised her coffee to Shen Zui: "Although this isn’t alcohol, Shen Zui, I’d like to toast this cup of coffee to you, wishing you a smooth journey in the future, and may you soon find the person you want to meet!"

Shen Zui nodded: "Me too, I wish you... I wish you and Song Yansheng happiness!"

The two coffee cups clinked, with a crisp "bang", sounding as beautiful as those youthful days once shared...

It was Shen Zui who personally sent Shi Nuan back to Shi Group.

Getting out of the car, Shi Nuan bid farewell to Shen Zui, Shen Zui nodded and said: "Walk slowly, no need to rush!"

Shi Nuan smiled: "I know, I’ll be going now!"

Shen Zui nodded.

Shi Nuan opened the car door, got out, waved to Shen Zui, and turned around smiling.

Shen Zui sat in the car, watching the girl’s figure grow farther and farther away, his heart feeling like it was being mercilessly cut by a knife, he tried hard to restrain himself, tried hard to restrain...

But in the end, he couldn’t restrain himself!

He hurriedly called out to that departing figure: "Nuannuan—"

Shi Nuan paused, turned her head in surprise, but before she could see anything clearly, Shen Zui had already rushed out of the car and enveloped her in a fierce embrace.

Shen Zui held her tightly, very tightly, for he knew that once he let go, this girl would be gone forever, completely not belonging to him.

He would no longer have the right to embrace her.

His shoulders trembled, his whole body shaking.

His face buried in Shi Nuan’s shoulder, tears falling in large drops.

Shi Nuan’s eyes quivered; she could feel the stiffness of Shen Zui’s body, also his sobs...

She did not push him away but gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

As if in comfort, also as a farewell.

Finally, Shen Zui stopped his tears, softly whispered four words into her ear: "Nuannuan, goodbye!"

Shi Nuan murmured a response: "Goodbye, Shen Zui!"

Shen Zui released Shi Nuan, forced a smile once more, then turned away, never looking back.

Shi Nuan watched him get into the car, watched his car leave, watched his car drive far away.

She stood still for a long, long time.

A gust of wind blew, and a withered yellow leaf suddenly fell at her feet.

She lowered her head, looked at the fallen leaf, quietly brushed away that hint of moisture in her eyes.

Then she exhaled a long breath, turned, and walked toward Shi Building.

She didn’t know that everything just now with Shen Zui had been captured on someone’s phone.

And at this very moment, it had already been sent to Song Yansheng’s phone.

At that time, apart from seeing those photos, Song Yansheng also saw a bamboo tube that Chi Rui brought back from Anshan.

Inside the bamboo tube, were two bamboo sticks.

One was signed with Shen Zui’s name, the other, Shi Nuan’s.
