Saw Ai Xin'Er's actions.
In an instant, countless people were heartbroken.
Drove away a fake, but a real one came.
Beauty is only for the rich.
However, most people were still excitedly discussing tonight's events.
Although the process was a bit different, the result was that Shen Shi still left a legend.
Under the night sky, the Rolls-Royce drove down the road, lights were bright on both sides, and the nighttime city was blooming with charming allure.
But Ai Xin'Er had no interest in paying attention to the view outside.
The driver was the female secretary, who was sitting next to Shen Shi, twisting left and right.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shi watched amusedly, "Where's your goddess style? Keep it up."
"Stop teasing me." Ai Xin'Er rolled her eyes and muttered, "I just... didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"What kind of thing? Getting proposed to with a Photoshopped picture?" Shen Shi laughed.
"Stop talking about it, it's gross." Ai Xin'Er rubbed her arm, goosebumps rising.
"So you didn't expect an old classmate to suddenly become so successful?" Shen Shi continued.
"Sort of..." Ai Xin'Er turned her head to look at him, scrutinizing from top to bottom, left to right.
"Stop looking, I'm Shen Shi, haven't switched souls or been possessed." Shen Shi felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze.
Ai Xin'Er took a deep breath and suddenly screamed.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shi was startled.
"Just venting, okay?" Ai Xin'Er breathed heavily, like she finally came back to life, excitedly pointed around and asked, "So all this, this car, and those bodyguards, what's going on? Winning the lottery ten times wouldn't be enough for this!"
"Well, that's a long story..." Shen Yi turned his head, looking out the window, his gaze suddenly somber as he softly said, "Just think of it as winning the lottery. Honestly, I'm bewildered myself... otherwise, I wouldn't have reached out to you, just wanted to find someone to vent to."
This unease, this confusion, this thrill.
Actually, Shen Shi was already quite calm now.
But Han Guangchao's matter had brought him another type of emotion.
If he truly lost control of his emotions, what would happen now? Even if he ultimately brought his family and thousands to flee Earth in the vast cosmos, what would become of it?
Could he really take on the future of those people?
A sensitive mind, thinking too much, isn't really an advantage, but at this moment, Shen Shi indeed found it difficult to manage his thoughts, even just the alien invasion three years later felt like a mountain, weighing heavily on his heart.
Then, he felt someone put a hand on his shoulder.
"In short, you're worried about the idea that 'virtues unfit for the position will lead to disaster', right?" Ai Xin'Er patted Shen Shi's shoulder, giving him a bright smile, "But in my view, the fact that you can seriously consider and worry about this issue shows you already possess the 'virtue'. What's left is to continuously learn, enrich yourself, catch your abilities up to it, which is what you've always been best at, right? After all, you've always been outstanding."
Shen Shi looked at the radiant, more beautiful than ever Ai Xin'Er, and his bewildered expression gradually softened.
Now he suddenly understood.
What he desired was recognition and encouragement.
He needed someone to tell him he could do it!
Whether it was mastering this power, fleeing with tens of thousands, or even bearing heavier burdens and attempting larger miracles, he had the qualification and ability to try!
Ai Xin'Er indeed did not disappoint his expectations.
"I never thought I'd be so impressive in your mind." Shen Shi stroked his chin, putting on a self-satisfied face, "Tell me, have you had a secret crush on me all along?"
"Secret crush on you, my foot! Shameless! I've found you're thicker skinned than before!" Ai Xin'Er was furious, raising her chin, her long neck skin smooth and white like a proud swan, "Obviously you just lust after my body, thinking I don't know?"
"If I weren't lusting for it, would I still be a man? Can't you see your own charm?" Shen Shi casually said, not embarrassed about being exposed.
Ai Xin'Er did get it right with that comment, his skin was indeed thicker than before.
Or rather, it had never been thin; he just didn't have enough confidence in the past.
But things were different now.
Money is a man's courage, let alone power?
Ironically, Ai Xin'Er felt a bit embarrassed from his words. In matters between men and women, whoever wants to save face feels awkward.
However, teasing each other eased quite a lot of tension, eliminating the awkwardness of having not seen each other for a long time, as if returning to the high school days, playful and sincere.
"Where are we heading now?" Ai Xin'Er turned back to look out the window, her slender fingers lightly tapping on the car window, she was still in an excited state.
Shen Shi naturally noticed this detail, it was the movement of playing the piano, indicating her emotions were high and she wanted to play.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you returning to the dorm tonight?"
"What are you planning to do?" Ai Xin'Er quickly turned her head, shrinking back her neck, inexplicably feeling a bit weak.
He hadn't thought about it, but the past goddess-like Miss Ai's posture now indeed stirred Shen Shi a bit, his gaze involuntarily lowered, crossing the soft curves, fixing on her waist.
She was wearing a loose dress now, so couldn't tell much.
But Shen Shi knew well how slim Ai Xin'Er's waist was.
Once her piano teacher even remarked, saying she had more talent for dance than for piano.
However, Shen Shi once thought it was nonsense, Miss Ai's pride wasn't just her slim waist, her figure would look suggestive in any dance, piano was better, dignified and graceful.
As he stared intently, Ai Xin'Er felt somewhat intolerable.
"I warn you, don't entertain any improper thoughts." She crossed her arms, slightly incoherent, "I know your mom."
Shen Shi looked at her speechless.
That warning was perfect.
All ambiguity was instantly dispelled.
"Is there a need?" Shen Shi leaned back somewhat disheartened, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"It's not the same." Ai Xin'Er's face flushed crimson.
"How's it different?"
"You didn't have the guts to do anything before! Now you have plenty of guts!"
Shen Shi, unable to argue.
But he was not one to admit defeat, leaned back lazily in the seat, "Since you've said it, let's be bold, let's go straight to the hotel."
"Yes, boss," the female secretary driving in the front actually responded.
"Wait, no, what, how could you be !" Ai Xin'Er was truly panicked, speaking in stutters, "It's too, too rushed, isn't it? At least go on a few dates first, watch a movie, have dinner, hey! Are you even listening to me...?"
