In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

Not a close friend or lover, but the distance between Xiaosheng and Daixuesnow had lessened, with more sincerity and a hint of attachment! Perhaps it was just a fleeting moment, but deep down, women still yearned for that 'moth to the flame' feeling.

Considering Daixuesnow's mother's condition, Chenshuyuan no longer had Daixuesnow travel back and forth between Chunseman Yuan and home every day. Daixuesnow had also politely declined this arrangement, but Chenshuyuan smiled and refused, instructing Daixuesnow to return home to take care of her family if there were no special matters at the company. Chenshuyuan's heartfelt instructions made Daixuesnow's eyes, which had been covered with makeup, turn red again.

Xiaosheng, who had been at a disadvantage all day, was unusually silent as he drove Chenshuyuan back to Chunseman Yuan. Until they arrived home, there was little verbal interaction between the two. However, from Xiaosheng's mischievous smile, it wasn't hard to guess that he was up to something!

The black Mercedes-Benz parked steadily in the Chen family courtyard. Tongtong, who had much more free time than other high school seniors, skipped to the car with a lollipop in her mouth. This rich girl, who had never known the value of oil, salt, soy sauce, or vinegar, wouldn't think about which university to attend as the college entrance exam approached. Her life path had been planned from the day she was born. In her current youthful years, what she needed to learn was how to act cute, to 'pit her father,' and to be extravagant!

Holding onto Chenshuyuan's arm, Tongtong, who seemed a bit eccentric, occasionally whispered something to her cousin. Xiaosheng, who had already gotten out of the car, could easily tell from Chenshuyuan's slightly troubled expression that this usually cold and 'passionate' beauty CEO was facing a difficult situation. As for what it was, Xiaosheng, the half-fortune teller, could guess it with a high degree of certainty!

Humming a tune, Xiaosheng returned to his 'doghouse,' changed into a more casual outfit from a street vendor, and indulged in a good smoke in his room. Until the kind and gentle voice of Aunt Wu filled his ears, this 'country bumpkin' ran to the living room with excitement. Before leaving the room, Xiaosheng quietly instructed the scout to remind AK to keep an eye on Daixuesnow, as getting on board was easy, but getting off was hard. Daixuesnow's attitude might lead some stubborn people to act irrationally.

Xiaosheng, still smiling, rubbed his hands and sat at the end of the dining table. After Aunt Wu urged everyone to eat quickly, the eager Xiaosheng, without hiding his 'country bumpkin' manners, dug into the rice in his bowl and occasionally picked up the delicious dishes on the table.

Chenshuyuan, who was no longer surprised by Xiaosheng's behavior, seemed a bit unusual today, often casting 'deep' glances at the always head-down Xiaosheng. When their eyes met, Xiaosheng, with a mouth full of rice, smiled foolishly and continued to focus on filling his stomach. Tongtong, sitting next to Chenshuyuan, pouted and ate sparingly. Aunt Wu, who was concerned, kept urging Tongtong to eat more throughout the meal.

Tongtong, who had only eaten half a bowl of rice, walked back to her room without energy. When Aunt Wu symbolically asked Chenshuyuan what was wrong with the girl, Chenshuyuan looked at Aunt Wu and then at Xiaosheng, giving a few evasive replies before the conversation ended.

Knowing that Xiaosheng had been busy with her all day, Aunt Wu pushed Xiaosheng, who was about to wash the dishes, out of the kitchen, smiling and telling him to go back to his room to rest. Faced with such a simple and kind old lady, Xiaosheng felt more moved. Pulling up his large shorts, Xiaosheng walked out of the room, closed the door tightly, and picked up the "Wealth of Nations" he had borrowed from Daixuesnow, reading it with great interest. The slightly dim desk lamp cast a shadow on Xiaosheng's determined face, and at that moment, he was completely immersed in the world of books, far from his usual frivolous appearance.

"Knock, knock..." The light knocking on the door made Xiaosheng slowly put down the book. With an evil smile, he pretended to ask:

"Who is it?" As he slowly got up from the bed, he heard Chenshuyuan's slightly nervous reply.

"It's me, Chenshuyuan..." Walking to the door and opening it, Xiaosheng saw Chenshuyuan, dressed in home clothes, standing at the door, and his face showed a 'surprised' expression.

"CEO Chen? Is the sun rising in the west today? How could you lower yourself to come to my place..." As he spoke, Xiaosheng moved aside to let her in. His gaze inadvertently swept past Tongtong's window on the second floor, and sure enough, the little devil was secretly peeking from behind the curtain.

Trying to calm her nervousness, Chenshuyuan stood in Xiaosheng's room, somewhat awkwardly. Although Xiaosheng pulled out a chair for her, she did not sit down.

"CEO Chen, what brings you here so late?"

"Ah? Nothing much, just that the weather is getting warmer, and Aunt Wu is worried that it might be stuffy here. She asked me to see if you need an air conditioner installed..." A poor excuse, Xiaosheng wouldn't believe for a second that Aunt Wu would have Chenshuyuan come to ask him.

"If that's a benefit of being a market director, then I'd be happy to have one installed. Thank you, CEO Chen!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Chenshuyuan's performance tonight could be described as a complete failure. Seeing her stifled performance and 'desiring' eyes, Xiaosheng felt an urge to laugh!

The atmosphere in the room was slightly silent and even a bit awkward. Faced with Xiaosheng's 'intense' gaze, Chenshuyuan, who had several times tried to speak, held back. At this moment, where was the cold and distant Chenshuyuan from the office?

"CEO Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be shy..." As if Xiaosheng's words gave her courage, after a few seconds of hesitation, Chenshuyuan spoke:

"Xiaosheng, tomorrow is Tongtong's birthday. I have already made dinner plans with President Zhang from Zhonglei Group. Could you..." After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke the truth, her tone much gentler than her earlier firmness.

"Oh... this matter..." Xiaosheng, frowning, looked at Chenshuyuan and then suddenly said:

"Please me, with a loving gaze, blinking your eyes, and in a sweet voice, say 'Big Brother Sheng, I beg you...'"

"You..."
