Chapter 70: 70. Want to travel? (First update, please subscribe)

Fu Hengyi took a cold shower and came out to see the woman already sleeping like a log on the bed, which pissed him off to the point of gritting his teeth. He stood by the bed glaring at her for a long time but eventually turned over and climbed into bed.

The moment he lay down, Shen Qinglan naturally rolled into his embrace. He resignedly glanced at the person in his arms and sighed helplessly, "I must have owed you something in my last life."

Fu Hengyi hardly slept all night, the irritation stoked by a certain woman not even quenched by a cold shower. As soon as day broke, he got up.

He went out for a walk and, when he came back, had several bags in hand before he plunged into the kitchen.

When Shen Qinglan woke up, she did not see Fu Hengyi but heard noises coming from the kitchen, so she wandered over. She leaned against the kitchen door, her whole demeanor lazy and relaxed.

The air was filled with the faint scent of porridge mixed with the fragrance of red dates.

Fu Hengyi was tall and made the small kitchen seem very cramped, but this unexpectedly stirred something in Shen Qinglan’s heart.

She quietly approached, wrapping her arms around Fu Hengyi from behind. He was startled, this kind of initiative from Shen Qinglan was something he was unaccustomed to. Could it be that a woman’s temperament changes with her monthly cycle?

"What’s wrong?" Fu Hengyi asked in a gentle voice.

Shen Qinglan did not speak, just quietly held him, and Fu Hengyi let her be, continuing with his work.

After about five minutes, Shen Qinglan let go of him, grabbed an apple from a basket nearby, took a bite, and meandered out of the kitchen without explaining her behavior.

Fu Hengyi shook his head amusedly, attributing Shen Qinglan’s behavior from the previous night and just now to her period.

After eating, Shen Qinglan intended to clean up the dishes, but Fu Hengyi sent her to the living room instead. Shrugging, she nestled into the couch and boredly flipped through channels with the remote control.

"Bored?" Fu Hengyi, having washed the dishes, saw her like this and asked.

Shen Qinglan nodded. Indeed, she was quite bored. She wasn’t planning to go for a professional internship, and she had already submitted her paper on foreign language translation to her advisor. Lately, she really had a lot of free time.

"Then how about traveling with me?" Fu Hengyi suggested. He still had half a month of vacation left. Actually, his injury was almost fully healed, and he should have replaced Mu Liancheng earlier, but he wanted to spend more time with Shen Qinglan, so he shouldered all the work onto Mu Liancheng.

Shen Qinglan’s eyes brightened, and she suddenly remembered Yu Xiaoxuan, who had passed the audition and was shooting a movie in Jinning City, "Let’s go to Jinning City first, and then detour to other places."

Seeing her come to life all of a sudden, Fu Hengyi nodded and smiled in agreement, "Okay."

They set off on the spur of the moment. Shen Qinglan pulled out her phone to book tickets online and then headed out with Fu Hengyi after swiftly packing a few clothes.

Jinning City was south of Hang City, but there was no direct flight, so Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan first flew to Hang City and then took a bus to Jinning City.

Shen Qinglan didn’t tell Yu Xiaoxuan she was coming to Jinning City but made a call to inquire about her filming progress and discreetly found out her schedule and location for the next day before hanging up, without arousing any suspicion from Yu Xiaoxuan.

They arrived late, and Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi checked into a hotel to rest. Fu Hengyi stood by the hotel room window, pointing to the brightly lit giant Ferris wheel in the night not far away, "Would you like to go there and have some fun?"

Shen Qinglan followed his pointing finger and looked in disbelief; it was clearly an amusement park. Did she look like someone who liked amusement parks?

Understanding Shen Qinglan’s gaze, Fu Hengyi chuckled, said nothing, and took her hand to leave. Their destination—the amusement park.

Seeing that Fu Hengyi really brought her to the amusement park, Shen Qinglan’s face darkened. She stood at the entrance, staring at Fu Hengyi, refusing to enter. The eyes of passersby fell on the two of them.

"Fu Hengyi, are you still a child?" Shen Qinglan gritted her teeth.

"You’re still young, you can have fun. I won’t laugh at you," Fu Hengyi said earnestly.

Shen Qinglan turned and walked away, but Fu Hengyi watched her puff up in anger, his eyes alight with amusement. Even the angry Shen Qinglan was vibrant, and he, he liked her liveliness.

Fu Hengyi caught up to her, took her hand, and Shen Qinglan tried to break free twice unsuccessfully, so she let it be.

The two walked hand in hand down the street like any ordinary couple.

The streets were not crowded, and with the wind carrying a hint of coolness, Fu Hengyi’s magnetic voice followed the breeze, stirring ripples in Shen Qinglan’s heart.

"Qinglan, in front of me, you don’t need to overthink. You can show your true emotions. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh, be willful, be naive, be unreasonable—all is allowed. Whatever the future holds, I’ll always be by your side, never leaving nor forsaking you."

Shen Qinglan looked at him sideways, "Is this a confession?"

Fu Hengyi also tilted his head to look at her, his gaze tender, "What do you think?"

Shen Qinglan paused, averted her gaze, and looked at the shops on both sides of the street, her grip on Fu Hengyi’s hand tightened.

The next day, after they got up, they went to Jinning City Film and Television City. There were six main attractions in the film city. According to Yu Xiaoxuan the night before, today they were going to film at Qingming River Painting.

Shen Qinglan did not go directly to find Yu Xiaoxuan but first strolled around with Fu Hengyi. The ancient-style buildings, although exquisite, were not very well landscaped, with many fake flowers and trees, probably placed for filming purposes.

Shen Qinglan was not interested in these artificial plants but found the architecture quite intriguing, rare enough for her to take out her phone and snap a couple of photos.

Fu Hengyi followed her, his face wearing a gentle smile, his eyes full of indulgence.

Shen Qinglan turned back and saw Fu Hengyi. They were standing on a bridge with a small pavilion behind him. She raised her phone and snapped a picture.

She looked at the photo she had just taken, clicking her tongue in approval; indeed, someone with good-looking features has an advantage in photos, effortlessly outshining those who spend much time posing intentionally.

While Shen Qinglan admired the photo, she was utterly unaware that she herself was such a person.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was always the focus of public attention. Along the way, the attractive couple consisting of Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan drew many gazes.

Though Shen Qinglan had no smile on her face and appeared calm, her cool demeanor was captured by many cameras.

Fu Hengyi stepped forward, took Shen Qinglan’s phone, and pulled her into his embrace. Bending down slightly towards the camera, he took a photo.

Fu Hengyi operated the phone a bit, sent the photo to his own device, and then set that photo as the screensaver on Shen Qinglan’s phone. Only then did he return the phone to her, contentedly.
