Chapter 200: 160. Let Your Heart Fly_2

She and he climbed to the rooftop.

As the two emerged, the entire expansive platform was enveloped in dazzling sunset, turning everything golden as if from another world.

"I see it, the sun rises from the east, now it’s moving west."

With a fluffy, shimmering golden head, Lu Jincheng pulled her along, feeling a bit like they were on a date from the last century.

A deserted rooftop, blinding sunlight, a girl with brown hair.

Everything was so intricate and wonderful.

"Does that matter?"

Zhou Sinin responded with some annoyance.

"Not really."

"So, you knew you were spouting nonsense."

"I didn’t want to spout nonsense, but I felt it was inappropriate to ask that question right away."

Lu Jincheng spread his hands, gazing at the girl before him.

"Go ahead and ask."

"Has Uncle Zhou gone back?"

"Hahaha, why, you care so much about my dad?"

Zhou Sinin’s smile curled playfully.

There were no windows on the rooftop, and a breeze blew, gently brushing the brown fragmented hair across her soft cheeks.

She too had learned to ask knowingly.

"It’s not time to worry about him yet, I just care... if I can ask you out later."

"Ask me out for what?"

"Has Uncle Zhou taken you to play video games this time he came to Jiang City?"

"Um... no."

Zhou Yuanxin was very busy.

She knew that.

Despite being extremely busy, the fact that her dad could peacefully accompany her for so many days and even resolved some staff and investment issues made Zhou Sinin thoroughly satisfied.

Besides, going to play video games.

She would never ask her dad if he could go with her.

Zhou Sinin was a grown girl now.

Playing video games, too childish.

"How about we go together later?"

"Sure."

Being a bit childish once in a while isn’t bad.

Zhou Sinin thought.

...

...

Leaving Nanhu Industrial Park, Lu Jincheng looked around and noticed that although Sector B and Sector D were in the same park, they were quite different.

Sector B here was very open, an abandoned place.

The air carried a distant and serene scent of plants, a coffee company had just moved in, and Jiangcheng Finance and Economics University had more entrepreneurship projects than Nanhu University, marking a departure from the old and embracing the new.

In the corners, there were discarded old furniture, torn cardboard boxes, and scrapped electronic equipment.

Someone had planted flowers here, but the flowers had long died, covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that their owners had failed in their ventures and that their last visit was from a previous workday.

—They no longer belonged to today.

Zhou Sinin’s car was parked not far in the parking lot, with the evening sunset shining on her delicate face, her brown long hair, and her long lashes, making her feel warmly glowing.

"I need to go back to school to change clothes."

As soon as Lu Jincheng sat in the passenger seat, he heard the driver press the gas pedal and said softly.

"Why, you look quite nice?"

"You don’t understand, it’s fine for a meeting, but going out... it feels a bit strange."

Zhou Sinin bit her lip, even though she had emotionally accepted the office attire, she felt somewhat uncomfortable once out of that environment.

"Is it because it looks too much like couple outfits, and you’re embarrassed to go out?"

Mr. Lu crossed his arms, turned his head with a cheeky smile, and teased.

That finally earned him an exasperated eye-roll from Zhou Sinin, who was speechless.

"Come on! Be sensible."

"What if you change into a youthful and unbeatable little dress, and I end up looking dumb with this outfit?"

"A boy wearing a shirt is pretty normal! Very handsome."

Zhou Sinin retorted.

"Did you finally notice?"

"Shameless."

Knowing she couldn’t out-talk him, Zhou Sinin turned her head away, her face flushing.

"Alright, alright, I won’t change clothes, we’ll just go out in these."

"Right, no need to make it special, this couple outfit isn’t that obvious."

The two sped along National Avenue and stopped at Light Valley World City, switching to walking.

The iconic big globe nearby was bustling, with countless couples arm in arm, smiles on their faces, and shadows alternating under the street lights.

There were so many couples on the street, one more didn’t seem to matter.

"Wait for me a second."

As they were walking toward the pedestrian street, Lu Jincheng suddenly tapped the back of the girl’s hand and ran off toward a nearby stall.

Tomorrow was Singles’ Day, and the balloons at her stall were adorned with cute designs.

"Here, Mei Yangyang."

Lu Jincheng handed the helium balloon to her.

"...Are you talking to me?"

Zhou Sinin, with a playful smile, took the thin string, not quite knowing what to say.

"Why buy this? It’s so inconvenient to carry around."

Before Lu Jincheng could respond, she felt her wrist being grabbed.

The touch was cool, and beneath the prominent wrist was delicate whiteness.

"It’s okay, like this... tie it around your wrist, that way it won’t fly away."

Mei Yangyang floated above their heads, above the sky that was about to close for the night.

Mr. Lu pulled her hand closer, looped the end of the string, and tied a beautiful bow at the pulse point.

"All right, let’s go."

Despite having the upper hand, he didn’t seem inclined to let go of her hand.

"..."

Zhou Sinin stayed silent, secretly trying to pull her hand away from his palm, but the man seemed unresponsive, as if he had turned to wood.

So, she gave up immediately.

The street lamps lit up one by one, and the tall man and the brown-haired girl walked hand in hand through the tree-shaded streets, tree shadows gently swaying with the wind, mottled light shining on their exposed wrists.

A balloon, following the thin line, headed straight to the sky.

"Actually, I feel a lot of pressure."

"There was a company before that seemed to be a startup star from our school, something Tech..."

"What if I mess it up? To rush in and then move out just as quickly."

"Just let go and do it, if it fails, we can always go back to running a small workshop."

"You’re pretty optimistic!"

"Of course, there’s still quite a bit of money in the stock market."

She spoke, and Lu Jincheng listened, occasionally responding and fluffing her confidence, prompting her to let go.

The evening breeze was gentle, and Zhou Sinin felt herself slowly opening up.

After dinner, Mr. Lu was again pulled by her into a cake shop.

The dessert stomach truly exists.

It is said that girls have two stomachs, one for meals and the other for sweets.

They sat opposite each other, sticky cream stuck on Zhou Sinin’s pink lips, her soft tongue gently licking from the little spoon into her mouth.

It was hard not to let one’s thoughts wander, seeing the scene right in front of them.

Tomorrow was Singles’ Day, also known as Bachelor’s Day.

The sun outside Light Valley slowly set, and the moon loomed distantly beside several tall buildings.

He and she, once again, came to City Star Game City.

Only this time, Zhou Sinin was much more relaxed than before.

"Boss, I want 300 dollars’ worth of Game Coins."

Uncle Zhou, without asking for Lu Jincheng’s opinion, walked to the counter and took a small square box.

What’s the point in asking him.

After all, she was in charge of the money.

They stopped by a claw machine.

After a while, Zhou Sinin had a Pikachu plush, worth over fifty Game Coins.

"Didn’t you boast about how great you were?"

"..."

Mr. Lu’s face turned a bit red.

Being out of practice for too long, along with unfriendly odds, his skills were rusty.

He knew that even without skill, with enough Game Coins, they could still wait for the claw’s strength to weaken and catch a plush.

But it took more coins than expected.

Indeed, one couldn’t always have smooth sailing.

"Just admit you didn’t catch one."

Relying on numerous attempts, he managed to snatch the cutest Pokémon in the machine, watching other couples each holding three or five plushies, yet he remained defiant.

"Psh, noob."

Zhou Sinin stuffed the wrist balloon into his arms, rolled up her sleeves, and smiled brightly.

"Watch me perform!"
