【Holy cr*p! All the details line up, Professor Xie meeting the parents confirmed!】
【Oh my god, are they getting married? I’ll move the Civil Affairs Bureau here immediately, please register on the spot right now!】
【Our Goddess Yue just turned twenty. Isn’t that a bit early?】
【Professor Xie is almost thirty, not early, not early】
【Shock! I just realized YuanYue are nearly ten years apart?!】
【So… should I still move the Civil Affairs Bureau or not?】
【Blessings and confetti! I want to know if Professor Xie was nervous meeting the parents, did they make him drink and give him a hard time hahaha…】
【Stop talking, if you keep going I won’t be able to control myself and I’ll run to their house to install a camera and livestream it to the whole internet】
Today’s trending list was once again sweetened by the “YuanYue CP.”
…
At nine o’clock, Shi Qingzhi and Qin Yuancheng left the Han residence.
Xie Dingyuan’s face was red and his eyes unfocused; he was almost leaning on the sofa asleep.
Han Shen felt a little guilty. “No way? Really drunk? He didn’t even drink that many…”
The old master glared. “How many more did you want him to drink? He’s not like you, socializing outside all day. How much alcohol tolerance could he have?”
Han Shen was scolded into silence. He rubbed his nose and looked up at the ceiling.
Jiang Fuyue: “I’ll drive him back.”
Han Qishan: “How about… letting the driver take him?”
Xie Dingyuan was helped to his feet, his large hand clasping Jiang Fuyue’s wrist and refusing to let go no matter what.
The old master: “Alright! He’s really drunk.”
Jiang Fuyue: “Like this I won’t feel at ease either. I’d better take him.”
“Alright.”
The two left the house. Jiang Fuyue got him into the car, fastened his seatbelt, then got in herself. Under the watchful gazes of Han Yunru and Jiang Da, the car drove out of the villa.
Jiang Da: “It’s so late… Yueyue going to send him back… will it be okay?”
Han Yunru was a bit sleepy. Hearing that, she didn’t think much of it. “Don’t you know how capable your daughter is?”
Jiang Da hesitated to speak.
That wasn’t what he meant. What he worried about was that it was late at night, Xie Dingyuan had been drinking, Yueyue would definitely send him all the way home. Once the door closed, anything could happen…
“Alright, Dad is starting to get sleepy too. Let’s tidy up and go back to our room. Otherwise with his temper he’ll definitely keep sitting there.”
“Th-then… we’re not waiting for Yueyue?”
“She knows her limits.”
“…Oh.” Jiang Da glanced in the direction the car had left, lowered his head, and went back inside.
…
At the same time, inside the car.
Jiang Fuyue: “Alright, stop pretending. We’ve already driven this far. They’re not clairvoyant.”
The man in the passenger seat who had been closing his eyes, dazed and sleepy, suddenly opened them.
His pupils were bright, his expression clear, where was there any trace of drunkenness?
Hehe, he had been pretending.
Jiang Fuyue looked straight ahead at the road. “Why did you have to make me come out alone? Is there something that couldn’t be said at home?”
Xie Dingyuan: “It couldn’t.”
Jiang Fuyue turned her head to glance at him. Meeting the man’s half-smiling gaze, she muttered softly, “What are you doing, being all mysterious…”
When they arrived at the apartment, Jiang Fuyue changed into slippers. The first thing she did was reach to turn on the lights.
But Xie Dingyuan stopped her. “No rush.”
“?”
The man took her hand and led her all the way to the bedroom.
Jiang Fuyue was just about to say something when she suddenly looked up and saw a…
Sea of stars?
The bedroom lights were off, yet countless stars were projected across the floor and walls, eventually merging into a brilliant galaxy.
Holding her hand, Xie Dingyuan walked with her along the starry river into the room.
Starlight filled the room and reflected on their faces. Their eyes met. Jiang Fuyue hadn’t even drunk any alcohol, yet she already felt slightly intoxicated.
The man who had drunk instead had clear eyes, his smile carefree and gentle.
He reached into his pocket and took out a red box. Opening it, there was a diamond inside.
Bigger than the two he had given her before.
Jiang Fuyue laughed helplessly. “You really plan to give me a diamond every year on my birthday?”
Xie Dingyuan paused awkwardly. “You don’t like it?”
“I do.” Jiang Fuyue took it, her fingertips brushing over it. The cold, hard texture came through. “No woman can resist the temptation of diamonds.”
Xie Dingyuan smiled.
He hadn’t taken out the birthday gift in front of everyone because he wanted to give it to her alone.
Jiang Fuyue looked up at the starry galaxy filling the room. “This is?”
“A reconstructed projection.”
All the stars here had been photographed by Xie Dingyuan with an astronomical telescope. Then he combined them one by one, piecing them together before building and reconstructing them proportionally.
This was a miniature Milky Way!
“So beautiful…”
Jiang Fuyue looked at the stars, while Xie Dingyuan looked at her.
Suddenly the girl turned her head and looked at him. Their gazes met, and Jiang Fuyue’s eyes burned bright.
“Xie Dingyuan, ”
She called his name.
With a forceful tone, like a general about to go into battle.
“What?” He was a little stunned.
“Giving diamonds every year lacks a bit of creativity. How about giving me something else as well?”
“What do you want? As long as I have it, I’ll…”
The man’s words stopped abruptly.
He stood frozen in place, eyes blank, expression stiff.
Because…
Jiang Fuyue’s hand had already clasped his belt. With just a light flick, it could be undone.
“Y-Yueyue, what are you doing…”
“Xie Dingyuan, today you were the one who brought me out and tempted me with the stars, so… you can’t escape.”
The last five words disappeared between their tightly pressed lips.
Jiang Fuyue forced him to retreat again and again until the two of them finally fell onto the bed together…
