No matter what Aixin’er said, Shen Shi just looked at her lazily, as if he would not listen to her.

To be honest, it was very interesting.

It made him calm down completely.

In fact, for a person of his personality, he needed some other things to adjust his mood from time to time. Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to go into a dead end, especially when too many things had happened at once and the impact was too great.

It was not until Aixin’er was so anxious that she was about to cry that Shen Shi realized that he had gone overboard. He quickly said, “Alright, look outside.”

Aixin’er turned around.

Only then did she realize.

At some point, the car had already left the lights of the streets and was driving on the coastal road. As far as the eye could see, the light from the street lamps was reflected on the night sea. Further away, stars dotted the sky. There was a mystery and magnificence that could not be felt in the day.

Aixin’er could not help but be stunned.

After four years of school in this city, she had never been to the beach at night.

“At this time of the night, the beach is still very lively.” Shen Shi was also looking out of the window. “Many people would be here. There would be buskers, beach volleyballs, grilled skewered meats, and so on. When I first came, I wanted to bring you here if I had the chance. Unfortunately, I never had the chance.”

Aixin’er seemed to have finally reacted. She wiped her eyes and raised her hand to hit him. She said angrily, “You’re too bad. Do you know that you scared me to death just now?”

“How have I frightened you?” Shen Shi chuckled and shook his head. “Do you think I’ve become bad just because I’m rich? Or do you think I treat you like those girls who become casual when they see money?”

“…” Aixin’er did not say anything.

Shen Shi was right. If he had really brought her to the hotel just now, she would be very sad.

Although Shen Shi was indeed shockingly charming tonight, … he also made her a little afraid.

“Don’t worry about this.” Shen Shi stopped smiling and looked at her calmly. He said slowly, “You’re different. You have my past. No matter what my future will become, I hope this past can exist.”

Aixin’er’s gaze was touched.

She understood what Shen Shi meant.

He was also afraid, afraid of himself in the future.

“I understand.” Aixin’er nodded instinctively and said gently, “I’ll guard it for you.”

Shen Shi smiled.

He had looked for Aixin’er today because he wanted to share his surging emotions with someone.

But he now discovered that this girl, who had always been stunning, might bring him other surprises.

The car stopped.

“Let’s walk.” Shen Shi was the first to get out of the car. “I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”

Aixin’er did not understand, but she was also looking forward to it.

She was wearing a pair of flat shoes and standing beside Shen Shi, who was wearing a suit. They looked indescribably compatible.

Soon, she saw the “surprise” Shen Shi had mentioned.

A silver piano!

It was placed in the middle of the beach under the lights. A group of curious tourists had already gathered in the vicinity, but they were stopped by the bodyguards.

“Please.” Shen Shi raised his hand elegantly and smiled. “So much has happened today. You really want to play the piano, right?”

Aixin’er looked at the beautiful piano in a daze and then turned to look at the smiling Shen Shi. Her lips moved.

But she said nothing.

Instead, she hugged him tightly, and let go immediately.

She walked excitedly toward the piano, her footsteps filled with joy.

Shen Shi recalled the softness of that moment and looked at Aixin’er, who had walked away to hide her shyness. The smile on his face became broader.

He walked over unhurriedly and passed the bodyguards under the gaze of the onlookers. He sat beside the piano, facing the sea. This was the exclusive seat he had prepared for himself.

Then, the cheerful and melodious “Io Ti Penso Amore” sounded slowly in the sea breeze under the night sky.

Shen Shi narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

Although it was not as ostentatious as overturning the world, this beautiful music was worthy of his dream-like day.

He wondered if people would still have the mood to listen to music in the future 3,000 years later.

They should have.

After all, they had never given up on pursuing the past.

The bell at midnight sounded in the midst of the music and complicated thoughts.

…

The song finally ended.

Aixin’er came to the side of Shen Shi who was in his suit.

“Are you tired from playing?” Shen Shi asked.

“Yes.” Aixin’er’s face was rosy, and the ends of her hair were stuck to her face because of the thin beads of sweat.

“Have you enjoyed yourself?” Shen Shi asked again.

“Thoroughly!” Aixin’er nodded empathetically.

“Let’s go to a hotel then.” Shen Shi looked at her mockingly.

However, he did not see the panic he had imagined.

Aixin’er rolled her eyes and placed her hands on her hips. “You want to use the same move on me twice?”

“…How boring.” Shen Shi pursed his lips.

“Is your interest in watching me cry?” The veins on Aixin’er’s forehead bulged, but she laughed first. She picked up the water bottle beside Shen Shi and took a big gulp before exhaling fiercely. “I might not forget this day for the rest of my life.”

“Me too.” Shen Shi shrugged, stood up, and took two steps in the direction of the sea. At a spot where Aixin’er could not see, his gaze was deep. “Just now, I’ve thought some things through… There are some things only I can do. If I give up without doing anything, I’m afraid I’ll regret it one day.”

Aixin’er looked at his back view and opened her mouth. In the end, she only asked softly,

“Will it be dangerous?”

“Don’t worry.” The corners of Shen Shi’s mouth curled up. “It’s not like you don’t know how cowardly I am. I won’t do anything dangerous.”

“Then I’ll support you, although I might not be able to help much.” Aixin’er pouted and muttered, “You won’t even tell me what it is.”

“Hehe.” Shen Shi laughed and waved his hand. “Let them send you to a hotel. Five-star, presidential suite. Don’t wait for me.”

“I’ll wait for you, my ass!”

Aixin’er spat and flicked her long hair coolly. She walked away without looking back.

She did not know what else was going on with Shen Shi.

However, she knew that all she could do now was to pray and wait.

Thinking of this, she could not help but touch her burning face and held her chest.

She could feel her pounding heartbeat.

Although she refused to admit it verbally, her body… disappointed her!

Her face burned even more.

…

Shen Shi watched as Aixin’er got into the car and left.

The detector morphed from the simulation transformation substance had confirmed that there was no one else nearby.

With just a thought, the lights, which had been on all night on the beach and on the road, seemed to have been tampered with and went out.

Shen Shi turned around.

He had indeed thought some things through just now and made a decision.

Therefore, it was time.

He boarded his personal cosmic warship!
