37: Chapter 37 Moonlit Night Talk

"The voting results are now in my hands."

"The winner is..."

Shen Yanzhou: Forget it, let someone else have it.

Chen Yu: It doesn't matter, but it's best if it's me.

After all, the Production Team wouldn't set up a useless first place; it must be very useful for tomorrow's date.

After all, it's called a Privilege Card!

The host held a golden card in his hand.

Chi Zhao was already prepared to step forward, his feet twitching with anticipation.

"Chen Yu!"

Chi Zhao waved his hand... then bent over to tie his shoelaces, the movements flowing seamlessly.

This group of people doesn't know how to appreciate anything!

He Yunshen was laughing like crazy; this Chi Zhao was just too damn funny!

Attentive viewers also noticed: [Chi Zhao opened the champagne at halftime—and fell to his knees!]

To the applause of the guests in the cottage, Chen Yu received the [Privilege Card] that belonged to the winner.

"This Privilege Card is made of gold!" the host reminded them.

Chen Yu's attitude immediately changed.

After all, this was hard currency!

"No way, if I'd known the Production Team was so generous, I wouldn't have let you have it!" Shen Yanzhou said regretfully.

Chen Yu just scoffed.

Even if given the chance, you'd be useless!

Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected the Production Team to give out gold. How many grams was it?

As if hearing Lin Xi's inner thoughts, Chi Zhao said sourly, "It's probably less than a gram; maybe it's just gold-plated."

Production Team Director: "Cut this kid's screen time by half!"

How dare he look down on him!

He had used a full two grams of gold!

It was worth over a thousand!

"I don't believe it, let me take a bite!"

Chen Yu dodged Shen Yanzhou's "vicious dog pounce"!

After putting away the Privilege Card, Chen Yu looked at Su Lingyin, who turned her head away.

"Today's Summer Party is over. Guests, go enjoy your seaside roast meat. The Production Team has meticulously prepared a BBQ for you!"

"Oh no, it's a BBQ!" Shen Yanzhou sighed.

Chen Yu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I've been suffering from internal heat from eating too much these past few days."

"It's fine, then you can just grill the meat for us."

"You'd dare to eat it?"

This time it was Chen Yu's turn to sigh: "Forget it, I'll do it."

And so, everyone ate the meat grilled by Chen Yu.

Chi Zhao, on the other hand, looked at the black charcoal in his hand. It was the same ingredients; could it be that his beef had mutated?

Night.

Stars twinkled in the night sky as Chen Yu leaned against the railing of the second-floor terrace, gazing into the distance.

Everything now felt very dreamlike.

It was also a bit of a slap in the face.

After all, he had said that even dogs wouldn't fall in love.

But now, he was thinking about taking a step forward and starting a new journey.

"Sure enough, one shouldn't set flags."

"What are you thinking about so intently?" a cool voice sounded.

The moon cast a silvery glow, illuminating the face of the person beside him.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't sleep." Su Lingyin's heart was a bit in turmoil.

She had originally wanted to come out for some fresh air, only to see Chen Yu drinking here.

"Do you like drinking?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "It just looks like it on the outside; actually, it's sparkling water."

Chen Yu turned the can around, and sure enough, the words 'Sparkling Water' were printed on it.

"By the way!" ×2

"You go first!" ×2

The two looked at each other and smiled. Sometimes, chemistry comes without warning.

This feeling wasn't unpleasant; instead, there was a sense of Le Zai Qi Zhong—finding joy within it.

The distance between them was about one meter.

"I didn't expect you to be able to play the piano and sing."

"There's a lot you didn't expect." Su Lingyin smiled.

"Wait for me a moment." Chen Yu said decisively and walked down quickly.

Though Su Lingyin was puzzled, she waited quietly.

In less than two minutes, Chen Yu ran back up.

"For you."

"Thank you."

Su Lingyin took a sip; it was a refreshing lemon flavor.

"Aren't you also keeping secrets from everyone in the cottage?"

Although she didn't state it explicitly, Chen Yu knew exactly what she was talking about.

It must be his other identity, the musician—Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shrugged and explained, "The Production Team doesn't allow it, so I have no choice."

"Just like how I don't know what you do for a living."

"Will what I do affect our relationship?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "Love has nothing to do with profession."

"I wasn't talking about love. I meant, friends. Yes, friends." A flash of fluster crossed Su Lingyin's eyes.

Chen Yu smiled and didn't contradict her.

"Tomorrow's date..."

"I choose you."

"I haven't even asked yet."

"Then I still choose you."

"Chen Yu..."

"What's wrong? If there's something, just say it. I told you, there's no need to be polite with me."

"I wanted to say, you're a bit different from when we first met."

"How so?"

"Straightforward."

Chen Yu shook his head: "No, I'm just being resolute."

He looked into Su Lingyin's eyes, unwavering.

Then, under her clear gaze, he turned toward the moon on the horizon.

Love is impulsive, but it cannot be only impulsive.

As they chatted, they didn't notice that the distance between them had narrowed to only half a meter.

The night was quiet, so quiet they could hear each other's breathing.

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

Su Lingyin turned her head and gave a smile.

The two parted ways.

Today's conversation had brought their relationship a bit closer.

"Just a little bit closer, and I'll..." Chen Yu hummed happily.

His steps were light.

It turned out the summer wind was sweet.

...

Early the next morning.

Today was different from usual; everyone woke up very early.

For fear of being a step behind others!

Shen Yanzhou even acted as Chen Yu's alarm clock in the morning.

For the first time, Chen Yu discovered that someone's voice could be more annoying than an alarm clock!

"You've really had enough. What's the use of getting up so early? It's only six o'clock."

No matter how early the Production Team was, they wouldn't make people go out on dates this early.

It's usually in the afternoon, or after nine in the morning.

Adults should have this kind of understanding.

"Oh, just in case. Don't we have to prepare early? We don't even know where we're going, I still have to coordinate my outfit."

Chen Yu covered his ears with the quilt.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "It's not up to you where we go anyway."

"What if I end up alone?"

"Pui pui pui!" Shen Yanzhou stopped shaving.

"How did I get stubble in my mouth?"

"I'm saying you should hurry up and spit! Don't say such discouraging things!"

"Pui pui pui, happy now?"

Only then did Shen Yanzhou let Chen Yu off.

"By the way, can you give me the Privilege Card?"

Chen Yu: "Are you dreaming?"

"Fine, if you won't give it, don't give it. Why be so stingy!"

"Old Shen, I never realized you were like this. Where's your composure?"

"Sigh, to be honest, at thirty one should be established. I'm established, I'm just missing love."

"Besides, being lifeless is so boring. I just have a young mindset!"

"A heart that doesn't age is the secret to eternal youth!"

"No, the secret to eternal youth is lying about your age!"

Shen Yanzhou: "..."

Chen Yu was kept awake by Shen Yanzhou's noise, so he also got up to wash up.
