After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

A "whoosh" sound.

A tiny bright light flew high into the sky and disappeared into the night.

When you think it has been swallowed by darkness, suddenly there is a "bang".

The thick darkness was instantly illuminated, as if a huge firework bloomed in the darkness.

Lu Ranran stuck to the glass window in surprise, "It's started!"

The road ahead has been opened, and many spots of light are flying in the night sky one after another.

The originally empty night sky was turned into a sky curtain by them, colorful and full of flowers.

What is burning is the flowers, and also death.

This is a magnificent and heroic dance of life.

Lu Ranran's heart was beating fast, and a longing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Life is short.

Over the centuries, there are only a handful of names that can be remembered by later generations.

But this did not prevent them from blooming passionately, unscrupulously and bravely in the darkness like fireworks.

No one can deny that they once existed.

Thinking of this, the emptiness in Lu Ranran's heart was suddenly filled.

The parents whom I have never met, the figures who originally only existed in Shen Xiling's words...

They all really existed once.

Their figures suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ranran, on the street corner, on the bungee jumping machine, in the restaurant, in the parade...

A sour and wet feeling gradually welled up in my eyes.

Like fireworks, they have long since returned to darkness.

But the points of light they left behind can still be like the brilliant fireworks before your eyes, bringing Lu Ranran the most unreserved light at a certain moment.

Love exists.

Even if they have never met, love will continue indefinitely in her life.

A joy that came from the depths of her soul made Lu Ranran tremble all over and almost fall off her seat.

A hand stretched out from the darkness and grabbed her tightly.

With warmth and security, he did not let go.

Lu Ranran turned around and saw Shen Xiling sitting in a corner of the sedan, leaning against the glass window.

The figure half disappeared into the darkness.

Only after the fireworks burst into life did Lu Ranran see his lip movements clearly.

"I'm afraid of heights."

The Ferris wheel has gradually reached its apex.

Looking down from the elevator, there was bottomless darkness.

If you fall here, you will be swallowed up in an instant, and there will be no body left.

At this moment, apart from the fireworks in front of me, the only thing I can grab is the hand reaching out to me.

Lu Ranran smiled and gently held the slender and strong hand back.

It seemed like he was trying to comfort Shen Xiling, who was trying to remain calm because of his fear of heights.

But only she knows.

The one who needed another hand was actually Lu Ranran herself.

The short and warm fireworks reminded her of her deceased parents, but the other side of the splendor was an abyss that was like thick ink and could not be dissolved, but followed her like a shadow.

Everyone is heading towards death after birth, and every step in life is like walking on the edge of an abyss or a knife.

In the weightlessness of falling, if I could hold another person's hand tightly.

Wouldn’t it be less lonely and scary?

After this trip to the amusement park, Lu Ranran and Shen Xiling finally reached a preliminary understanding.

At least it would allow Lu Ranran to face up to their so-called "marriage" and not always be so obsessed with the fact that it was a "contract" and therefore have to be polite to Shen Xiling at all times.

This surprised Gu Nianzhi.

On Monday, both of Jianye's private rooms were booked.

Gu Nianzhi was so busy that she was dizzy and had no time to make takeout for the two of them.

After experiencing the devastation of the morning, Lu Ranran didn't get to eat Jianye, and the wound in her heart could not be healed.

After another tough script meeting in the afternoon, Lu Ranran decided to do something nice to reward herself for Monday.

"What to eat?"

Lu Ranran found a seat in the front hall.

By slightly turning sideways, he could see Gu Nianzhi in the kitchen through the food delivery port.

"Just make something."

Lu Ranran also had a sudden idea and only informed Xiao Li before leaving get off work.

It was good enough that Gu Nianzhi didn't kick me out at this time.

After a while, Gu Nianzhi walked out of the kitchen holding a plate.

In front of Lu Ranran were two bowls of clear soup noodles.

The soup is clear, and the green vegetables and poached eggs complement each other perfectly.

Just smelling the hot steam makes people feel that it is extremely delicious.

Gu Nianzhi took off her apron, pulled out a chair and sat opposite.

"I just happened to have some broth left, so I cooked a bowl of noodles."

"Fortunately, Mr. Shen didn't come, otherwise we wouldn't have enough to eat."

Shen Xiling had a meeting in the evening, so he had dinner at the company.

Lu Ranran clasped her hands together and said, "Thank you, thank you for saving my stomach that was destroyed by work."

Gu Nianzhi is an easy person to get along with. When he is not cooking, he is a sunny and cheerful boy.

After experiencing the baptism of the amusement park, Lu Ranran became much more cheerful.

The two chatted casually and soon became familiar with each other.

Lu Ranran held the bowl of noodles, drank a mouthful of the soup, and joked with emotion.

"Really, it's so delicious. I suggest you apply for World Heritage status."

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

"too tired?"

"No." Gu Nianzhi shook his head.

After a moment of silence, Gu Nianzhi put down his chopsticks and suddenly said:

"How did you and Mr. Shen get together?"

"?" Lu Ranran looked up in surprise, "Why are you asking suddenly - ah..."

Lu Ranran recalled the scene she saw the last time she came to see Ye.

She turned around and asked:

"You and Zhang Xiaoyuan haven't made any progress yet?"

Speaking of this, Gu Nianzhi seemed quite resentful.

"You said you would give me experience last time."

"Mr. Shen didn't say a word after he finished speaking, and I was still waiting anxiously."

The aggrieved boy came online again, and Lu Ranran couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why do you keep calling him Mr. Shen? Aren't you two friends?"

"I've called him Mr. Shen since I was a kid—okay, let's not talk about this."

Gu Nianzhi changed the subject and said, "What about you? You ate my bowl of clear soup noodles for nothing. You can't just stand by and watch me die, right?"

Lu Ranran quickly clarified, "I didn't eat for free, President Shen will pay for it!"

"Oh, I'm kidding, can I still charge you money?"

After another round of teasing, Lu Ranran finally returned to the main topic.

"Tell me first, what have you done now?"

Gu Nianzhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then told everything in one go.

Asking about her family, going to her house, sending flowers and food, and some weird screen show...

After hearing this, Lu Ranran commented sharply, "You really look like you are harassing someone."

"Huh? I see that all the boys who pursue my sister do this..."

Obviously, some bad information was received.

Lu Ranran felt it necessary to correct it.

"First, you have to be open to the possibility of rejection."

"Secondly, don't keep pestering me."

Gu Nianzhi scratched his head, "Then what should I do?"

“It’s actually very simple to explain.”

"You express your affection honestly first, and then wait for a response."

"That's it?" Gu Nianzhi looked incredulous.

"Of course." Lu Ranran nodded, "You have asked about her family, you should know that Xiaoyuan..."

"Because I haven't seen my parents either, so I probably feel the same way."

“No one has ever received unconditional kindness.”

"It was hard to believe for a moment that someone could actually have feelings for me."

"So, you wait for her and be patient."
