Chapter 78 The Moonlight Is Gentle Tonight
The two met in the stairwell.

Su Ye came down in a hurry, without even putting on a coat. As soon as they met, he asked her if she had eaten breakfast.

"No, I drove over as soon as I finished packing."

"Shall we go to the breakfast shop first?"

"Don't bother," Shen Zhaoyi waved her hand. "It doesn't matter whether I eat it or not."

Su Ye pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Then... when we get home, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles, just for a quick bite?"

After going upstairs, I realized that I hadn't closed the door in my haste to come down.

When Shen Zhaoyi was changing her shoes outside, she could tell that the room was very clean and tidy, the kind of cleanliness that comes from long-term habits.

Like the owner of the house.

Although videos used to offer a glimpse into the iceberg, they were far less authentic than experiencing it firsthand.

Because we rarely have guests, we don't keep extra indoor shoes.

The shoes on Shen Zhaoyi's feet were the ones Su Ye usually wore.

He himself went to the bathroom and changed into slippers for showering.

Then we went into the kitchen.

Watching his busy figure, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Although it's meant to be a simple meal, this noodle dish looks like it was made with care.

They even stir-fried minced meat.

I don't know how Su Ye managed to conjure up such a thing in such a short time.

Perhaps people who cook possess magic.

After filling his stomach, he took on the task of washing the dishes. Shen Zhaoyi wandered around the living room, digesting her food and passing the time.

The home is simply furnished, with almost no extra decorations besides the essential furniture.

There are two photos on the TV cabinet.

On the left is a photo of Su Ye with his parents; his features are strikingly similar to Su's mother's.

The photo on the right is a group photo of Su Ye and two friends.

He looked a little young at the moment, and Shen Zhaoyi guessed at a glance that this must be Ziqi and his roommate.

Thinking of those poignant past events, I wonder what he feels every time he sees this photo when he comes home.

By the time Su Ye finished tidying up, Shen Zhaoyi had already sat back on the sofa and was fiddling with her phone.

Seeing him come out, she sent the edited message and then stood up to ask, "Have you packed everything?"

"almost."

Su Ye pointed to a suitcase placed next to the shoe cabinet.

He wasn't really willing to move to a new environment, but that was simply because of Shen Zhaoyi's wishes.

I figured I'd probably stay here after everyone else went back, so I didn't bring much.

If something is missing, we can fill it in gradually.

Shen Zhaoyi thought this was fine, since she had already achieved her goal, and she wouldn't interfere with where Su Ye preferred to live.

The new residential area is located in the suburbs. Although the location is a bit remote, the landscaping is excellent.

When the two arrived, the property manager was already waiting there.

I led them upstairs. Even though the deal was done, we still had to go through the proper procedures. As soon as we entered the house, I explained the details of the house again.

Shen Zhaoyi winked at Su Ye from behind and mouthed: See, what did I tell you?

The price is there for all to see.

The four-bedroom apartment features simple decorations, white walls, and wooden floors. While it can't compare to the luxury of Biyue Bay, this is the best we can do these days.

She asked Su Ye to modify it according to his own preferences, but he insisted on doing it according to her ideas.

This matter can only be put on hold for now.

After spending most of the morning at the new house, Su Ye changed the door lock password after registering her fingerprint before leaving.

It wasn't his birthday, nor was it Shen Zhaoyi's.

But today.

"Can you remember it?" he asked, turning his head.

Shen Zhaoyi chuckled, "May 0504th, Youth Day, of course!"

……

For the remaining half-day, Su Ye didn't forget that Shen Zhaoyi was there for tourism, so he took her to two more tourist attractions. In the evening, the two went into a famous local night market food stall.

Under the neon lights, the smoky aroma of barbecue mingled with the surrounding noise.

Under the soft moonlight, Su Ye gazed at the lively eyes and brows of the person before him.

With one day left of the holiday, he was unsure exactly when Shen Zhaoyi would return.

So, he subtly inquired, "Zhaoyi, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Hmm... I'm not playing anymore for now, I have to go back to City C."

Actually, Shen Zhaoyi's original plan was to stay until Su Ye went to work before leaving, since his vacation was a rare opportunity.

But around that afternoon, Han Ziyang's rankings from last month's competition were released—

First place, successfully advancing to the national competition.

The date was set for the 21st.

Since exchanging gifts, the two seem to have grown closer than before. Han Ziyang confidently declared that he would win the award and invited her to the awards ceremony in advance.

Based on this spirit and the desire not to undermine the boy's confidence, Shen Zhaoyi agreed.

Prior to this, on the 13th, there was Pei Yan's tournament.

Both locations are in S City, and she plans to bring Xu Meng along.

This stretched the timeline out, meaning she couldn't get timely care from the wealthy man, and she wasn't comfortable with regular pet boarding services.

So I thought I'd bring the little one along too.

However, the process of transporting parrots by public transport is quite complicated, requiring a series of procedures such as quarantine certificates. Worried that she wouldn't have enough time, Shen Zhaoyi decided to go back early.

Su Ye lowered her eyes, her thumb and forefinger rubbing against the bamboo skewer.

"So urgent..."

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't stand his dejected look.

Quickly shift your attention.

"By the way, you might need to do some work at the new house."

"Hmm?" Su Ye looked at her.

“I’d like to add a hanging chair to the balcony,” Shen Zhaoyi gestured, “and maybe turn it into a home theater.”

Although she hadn't used the place since moving into Biyue Bay, at least having something to keep her busy made Su Ye feel that he needed her.

As for the money, she paid for it.

She won't miss any opportunity to rack up cashback!
As I left the food stall, it was already late at night. Many people were strolling along the paths on both sides of the moat, and in the distance, a group of music lovers were performing in a circle.

Shen Zhaoyi pulled Su Ye over to join in the fun for a while.

In the crowded area, someone's hand touched the other's first, and when they came out again, they were naturally holding hands.

Shen Zhaoyi found this feeling to be very subtle.

Neither of them had taken the initiative to break the ice, but the warmth of their palms touching was more direct than any words.

Su Ye's ears were already bright red, and the anxiety in her heart had turned into ecstasy after she realized that the other person had not let go of her.

He secretly tightened his grip, making the intertwining of his fingers even more intimate.

As they walked down the riverbank, no one mentioned letting go.

From a distance, they looked like any ordinary couple, blending into the city's nightscape.

Until we walked back to the parking lot.

Su Ye felt his palm go empty, and his heart sank for a moment. He subconsciously curled his fingers.

Shen Zhaoyi turned around, raised her hand and deliberately waved it, then called out with a smile, "Su Ye."

"Hmm?" His voice was a little tense.

Your palms are so sweaty.

Su Ye: “…”

This one sentence ruined a lot of the atmosphere.

Shen Zhaoyi felt a little embarrassed, and her voice stammered, "Ahem... just... just kidding."

Seeing that Su Ye was still staring at her, she looked away.

"gone back!"
