Fang Yan doesn’t understand Zheng Weiqian at all. Some time ago he was avoiding her and wouldn’t even say hello. Ever since the reception last week, he seemed to have changed. When they see each other, he wouldn’t be cold towards her and would even actively joke with her. Sometimes he would have her eat a meal with him and then insist on sending her home. For example, like right now….
“Zheng Weiqian, did you eat the wrong medicine?” Fang Yan asked skeptically in the car. She does not understand his changes at this time.

Zheng Weiqian stared at her irritably, towards this question, he felt very powerless. Even though you aren’t clear what you did, do you still have to ask?
“Before you were hiding from me but now you’re treating me so well…” Seeing that he didn’t reply, Fang Yan could only mutter out her grievances. After all, she was hurt by his cold-heartedness. In fact, there is a feeling that she didn’t know is slowly growing in her heart.
Zheng Weiqian parked his car on the roadside and took her hand in his, “I won’t be like that anymore.” Even though he knows that she was hurt by his attitude, he still felt happy inside knowing that she cares about him.
Zheng Weiqian’s eyes were gentle. His hand is big and warm, it could easily wrap around her hand. Fang Yan felt like she could drown from looking into his eyes. Fang Yan always knew that he was outstanding, it was the only reasoning she had remaining. She awkwardly pulled away from his hand. Ashamed, she looked out the window, her cheeks slightly red as she grumbled, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
When he saw her blushing face, Zheng Weiqian laughed in satisfaction.
Zheng Weiqian didn’t take her to some fancy restaurant, instead, he took her to a place near Nanjing Road to eat snacks. That way, they could even take a stroll on the Bund. Besides, today is a special day.
The Bund is more lively in the evening than during the day. The neon lights from the street lights brightly lit up the Bund and coupled with the starry sky, it created a hazy beauty.
The Bund in the evening is also a place for couples. Everywhere they looked, there would be couples walking around hand in hand on the Bund.
“I find it really hard to imagine that the dignified president would eat snacks on the roadside.” Fang Yan drank a big mouthful of chicken porridge. In fact, she had been really hungry.
“When I was in school, I would often come with my classmates to eat a snack. When I entered the company, I became too busy that I don’t even have the time to come. It really makes me miss this!” Zheng Wei Qian reminiscence the time when he and Lin Yi Fan would often come to these places. Now that he thinks about it, time really has gone by really fast.
“And here I thought you were accustomed to eating steaks and disdain from eating this lowly food.” Fang Yan said sarcastically. In her eyes, her impression of him is not very good and that is because he is too emphatic. Just like today, he didn’t give her any room to refuse.
Zheng Weiqian looked at her with amusement, “The pace of the city is too fast, I can’t stop for too long, so I could only force myself to move forward. If I could, I would like to eat for of these porridge dishes; it is better than eating too many greasy things.”
Fang Yan chuckled, yes ah! The pace of big cities is very fast, she couldn’t even stop even if she wants to. Maybe that is the reason why she doesn’t want to go back to Fangshi. If she were to return, she would have to be tied down and wouldn’t be as relaxed and free as she is now. Because she had her father’s and everyone’s love, she was able to temporarily evade some of her responsibilities but it seems that he is not as lucky as she is.
After eating, they took a stroll around the Bund, just like other couples. Today, the Bund seemed particularly lively, most of them are couples. Some are even easy-mannered to kiss in front of everyone. Fang Yan thought of herself as a conservative who follows convention. Towards such a scene, she has no courage to appreciate it. She awkwardly turned away to see that smiling face. Zheng Weiqian affectionately leaned into her ears and chuckled, “We don’t we try it, it seems exciting.”
Fang Yan blushed and pushed him away, “Stupid.” However, her heart continued to beat non-stop. She stood by the railings, hoping that the river breeze would cover up her heat.
Zheng Weiqian looked at her blushing face in amusement, “Oh, really cute. You’re already past the age of being shy, but you still blush because of someone’s words.”
Fang Yan glared at him. If she let him know that she never had her first kiss, wouldn’t he ridicule her even more?
“I want to go home.” The more she thought about it, the more she became depressed. She turned to leave when Zheng Weiqian seized her hand, “Tomorrow is the weekend.”
“I am really tired.”Fang Yan looked at him seriously her face showing some haggardness.
“Wait a while, I heard that the fireworks are really beautiful. After we finished watching it, I’ll send you back.” He saw that she really is tired but he must go to Hong Kong tomorrow so he wants to spend more time with her. Since he is very clear of his own intentions, he won’t easily let go because he knows very clearly that happiness could not be obtained by relying on others.
When she saw his serious and sincere eyes, Fang Yan knows that she does not have to heart to cruelly refuse him.
Under everyone’s expectation, the fireworks show started. Rows and rows of blaze shot up into the sky. In an instant thousand of colorful blaze scatter in the sky. It was breathtaking and very beautiful. The entire night sky is filled with colorful flowers bursting in the sky, dazzling the spectators.
“It’s very beautiful.” Fang Yan who is watching the glittering fireworks display couldn’t help but praise.
“Yes, very beautiful.” Zheng Weiqian isn’t looking at the brightly lit sky but at that smiling face.
“Gege, gege, buy a rose for jiejie for Valentine’s Day.” An innocent voice sounded behind them.
They turned around and saw a smiling twelve, thirteen-year-old little girl standing in front of them carrying a basket.
“Valentine’s Day?” Fang Yan didn’t notice that today is actually Chinese Valentine’s Day.”
I.e Qixi Festival
Because she grew up in the States, when she came back, because of her mother’s situation, she didn’t dare to touch anything related to love. Because of that, she had no concept of the idea of Qixi.

“Okay, how much is it?” Zheng Weiqian is glad to accept the little girl’s suggestion.“15 yuan for one.” The girl’s smile is very sweet and clean.
“How about this, you give me all the flowers in the basket and then go home and rest.” Zheng Weiqian took out 500 dollars and handed it to her.
“Thank you, big brother, thank you, big sister.” The girl happily took the money and thanked them. She also gave them a bow before leaving.
Fang Yan looked at him. She knows that he is distressed that the little girl is forced by the pressures of life to sell flowers at night. She finally knew that the saying “a kind-hearted man could easily move a woman’s heart” had some truths in it.
“For you.” Zheng Weiqian handed her a rose.
Fang Yan looked at him with mirth and then took the rose, “You bought an entire basket but you only gave me one ah!”
“A rose represents one heart and soul ah!” Zheng Weiqian boldly exclaimed.
“Oh, in fact, you did not have many romantic cells so it is unnecessary for you to deal with these “stressful” situations.” Although she said this, her blushing face betrayed her thoughts.
Zheng Weiqian looked at her burning cheeks and laughed in spite of himself. Some simple words of endearment could make her blush to this extent, it seems that she really is shy.

Zheng Weiqian smiled and put the basket on the ground. He took her hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll send you home.”Fang Yan stared at him in astonishment, even forgetting she should be struggling from his grasp, “You don’t want those flowers?”
“I’ve already taken the prettiest one to give, the rest is for the other lovers here.” After he finished speaking, he took her hand and left.
Awww...he's so charmingly sweet. My heart has melted into a puddle 😍
