Chapter 17: Requires Recognition and Encouragement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Aixin’er’s actions, countless people’s hearts instantly shattered.

The fake one had been chased away, but a real one came.

Beautiful women only belonged to the rich.

They dispersed.

However, most of them were still discussing tonight’s matter excitedly.

Although the process was a little different, in the end, Shen Shi still left behind a legend.

…

Under the night sky, the Rolls-Royce drove on the road. Both flanks were brightly lit, and the city at night was blooming with charm.

However, Aixin’er was not in the mood to pay attention to what was outside the windows.

The female secretary was driving. Aixin’er was sitting beside Shen Shi, fidgeting left and right.

“What are you doing?” Shen Shi was amused. “You’re acting like a diva, being pretentious?”

“Don’t tease me.” Aixin’er rolled her eyes and muttered, “I just… didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.”

“What kind of thing? Being photoshopped and proposed to?” Shen Shi smiled.

“Stop talking about it. It’s disgusting.” Aixin’er touched her arm, goosebumps appearing.

“Then, it is because you didn’t expect the old school mate to be so wealthy suddenly?” said Shen Shi.

“A little…” Aixin’er turned around and looked at him. She sized him up from top to bottom and then from left to right.

“Don’t look anymore. I’m Shen Shi. I haven’t changed into another person or been possessed.” Shen Shi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze.

Aixin’er took a deep breath and suddenly shouted.

“Ah—!”

“What are you doing?” Shen Shi was shocked.

“Can’t I vent it out?” Aixin’er gasped as if she had finally regained her senses. She looked excited and pointed around as she asked, “So, what’s going on with these, this car, and those bodyguards? Even if you have struck the jackpot ten times consecutively, it can’t be like this!”

“This is a long story…” Shen Yi turned his head and looked out the window. His gaze suddenly darkened as he said softly,”You can just think of it as I have won the jackpot. To be honest, I’m a little bewildered too… Otherwise, I wouldn’t have looked for you. I really want to find someone to ventilate to. ”

This uneasiness, this loss, this excitement.

In fact, by now, Shen Shi had calmed down a lot.

However, Han Guangchao’s matter had brought him another emotion.

Fear of power.

If he had really not controlled his emotions, what would have become of him now? What would happen to him in the vast universe, even if he fled from Earth with his family and tens of thousands of people in the end?

Could he really shoulder the future of those people?

Being sensitive and thinking too much was actually not an advantage. However, at this moment, Shen Shi was indeed finding it difficult to control his thoughts. Just the alien invasion three years later was like a huge mountain pressing down on his heart.

Then, he felt someone place a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around.

“In short, are you worried that if one’s virtue does not commensurate with his power, there will be calamity?” Aixin’er patted Shen Shi’s shoulder and gave him a bright smile. “However, in my opinion, you already possess this virtue when you could think seriously about this problem and worry about it. What’s left is to keep learning to enrich yourself and enable your ability to also catch up. Isn’t this what you were best at in the past? After all, you have always been outstanding.”

“…”

Shen Shi looked at the dazzling and beautiful Aixin’er. His lost expression gradually softened.

Now, he suddenly understood.

What he wanted now was actually approval and encouragement.

He needed someone to tell him that he could do it!

Whether it was to control this power, whether it was to flee with tens of thousands of people, or even to carry a heavier burden and a greater miracle, he had the qualification and ability to try!

Aixin’er had indeed lived up to his expectations.

“I didn’t expect you to think so highly of me.” Shen Shi pinched his chin and put on a smug expression. “Tell me, have you already had a secret crush on me?”

“Secret crush, my foot! Thick skin! I find that you’re much more thick-skinned than before!” Aixin’er was furious. She raised her chin, and the skin on her slender neck was delicate and fair, like that of a proud swan. “You’re clearly the one coveting me. Do you think I don’t know?”

“If I do not covet, am I still a man? Don’t you know your own charm?” Shen Shi said indifferently. He was not embarrassed to be exposed.

Aixin’er was right. He was indeed much more thick-skinned than before.

Or rather, it was actually not thin to begin with, but he did not have much confidence in the past.

But it was different now.

Money was a man’s courage, let alone power.

On the other hand, Aixin’er was a little embarrassed by what had been said. For matters of the heart, whoever wanted to keep his face would be embarrassed.

However, this teasing had made the atmosphere much more harmonious. It had erased the unfamiliarity from having not seen each other for a long time. It was as if they had returned to their high school days, where they were playful, pure, and sincere.

“Where are we going now?” Aixin’er turned around and looked out the window. Her slender fingers tapped gently on the window. She was still in an excited state.

Shen Shi naturally noticed this detail. It was the action of playing the piano, indicating that she was in high spirits and wanted to play the piano.

After some thought, he asked, “Are you still going back to the dormitory tonight?”

“What do you want?” Aixin’er turned her head and shrank her neck, looking inexplicably weak.

He had not thought about it at first, but the posture of the great beauty Ai, who used to have the demeanor of a diva, really made Shen Shi a little excited. His gaze involuntarily shifted down, past the soft curves, and stopped at her waist.

At this moment, she was wearing a loose dress, so nothing could be seen.

However, Shen Shi knew very well how slender Aixin’er’s waist was.

Her piano teacher had even lamented that she was more talented at dancing than at the piano.

However, all along, Shen Shi had felt that she was talking nonsense. Aixin’er’s beauty was not just her slender waist. With her figure, no matter what dance she did, she would always have a seductive air. It was better to play the piano, she was so dignified and elegant.

As he stared blankly, Aixin’er could not stand it anymore.

“I’m warning you, don’t have any crooked thoughts.” She crossed her arms over her chest and said incoherently, “I know your mother.”

“…”

Shen Shi looked at her speechlessly.

This warning was ultimate.

The ambiguous atmosphere vanished instantly.

“Is there a need?” Shen Shi leaned back in disinterest. “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”

“That’s different.” Aixin’er’s face turned red.

“What’s different?”

“In the past, you didn’t have the guts to do anything else! Now, you’re very bold!”

“…”

Shen Shi was powerless to refute.

However, he was not one to admit defeat. He leaned back in his seat and said lazily, “Since you’ve said so, let’s be bolder and go directly to the hotel.”

“Yes, Boss.” The female secretary driving in front actually responded.

“Wait, no, no, why are you behaving like this!” Aixin’er was really panicking. She was stammering as she spoke. “Aren’t you too anxious? Don’t you know? We have to go on a few dates at least, watch a movie and have a meal. Hey! Are you listening to me…”
