Chapter 97 Who Can Make Mount Fuji Privately Owned with Love? (Abridged Version) (Su Ye)
What's a birthday celebration without a cake?

Although Shen Zhaoyi wouldn't do the cooking herself, she would still make sure everything that needed to be arranged was done.

Inside the cabin, the person in charge had already placed the items in the freezer, and a silver food cart was also available for easy access.

As Shen Zhaoyi sang "Happy Birthday" and pushed it out, the candlelight flickered in the wind, casting shimmering light in their eyes.

"Make a wish," she said with a smile.

Su Ye obediently closed her eyes.

But after only a few seconds, it opened its eyes again.

"So fast?" Shen Zhaoyi felt it only took about two seconds. "Why does it feel so perfunctory?"

Su Ye gave a soft "hmm" but didn't rush to blow out the candles. "Aren't you going to ask me what I wished for?"

"If you say your wish out loud, it won't come true."

"But if we don't say it, there's no possibility of it happening."

Seeing his insistence, Shen Zhaoyi convinced herself that the birthday person was the most important, so she had to compromise.

Then he put on an expression of being all ears.

Su Ye looked at her and murmured the lyrics—

Who can possess Mount Fuji out of love?

He had sung it countless times before, but only today did he truly understand its meaning.

The candle was almost burned out, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes: "Zhaoyi, do I have a chance to make Mount Fuji belong to me alone?"

The subtle expression of affection made Shen Zhaoyi's fingers tighten on the putter.

What is supposed to come will still come.

But she couldn't make a promise, so she could only shake her head decisively.

Su Ye lowered her eyes, a smile still playing on her lips, as if she had already expected this answer.

"It's my birthday today, can't you even lie to me a little?"

"It's precisely because it's your birthday," Shen Zhaoyi's voice was soft yet firm, "that I can't lie to you."

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to him and to this relationship.

Su Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

This is the real her.

A night breeze swept by, and the last glimmer of candlelight went out.

He then heard Shen Zhaoyi say to him, "Although I can't give you those promises, there is something that belongs to you tonight."

As soon as the words were spoken, a beam of light suddenly shone on the opposite bank of the harbor, and then—

"boom!"

Fireworks exploded in mid-air, and brilliant gold poured down, illuminating the entire sea surface.

This was specially prepared for tonight's birthday celebration.

Throughout this long process, Shen Zhaoyi looked up at the sky.

Su Ye glanced sideways.

The fireworks were magnificent, but they couldn't compare to the light in her eyes.

When the surroundings returned to silence, Shen Zhaoyi turned around and met that focused gaze.

Even though the confession wasn't successful, the emotions expressed were still straightforward and passionate.

She raised her hand and gently covered them.

"Su Ye, don't look at me like that, it will soften my heart."

With his vision obscured, Su Ye murmured, "What will happen if I soften my heart?"

"Nothing will happen. Even if I like you, you'll only be one of many, not the only one."

Although these words are hurtful.

But what Shen Zhaoyi wanted has always been clear, and she will not compromise or change it for anyone.

After a brief moment of thought, Su Ye also stated his choice:

"What if I were willing to be one of them?"

"Are you serious?"

"Ah."

Su Ye took her hands down and held them in his palms.

In fact, he already knew the answer long ago, and the reason he asked that question just now was only because he was clinging to a sliver of hope.

He gave a self-deprecating smile. "Someone as outstanding as you is. I know I'm not good enough for you, so I won't ask for too much. In the days to come, it will be enough if even a single glance falls on me."

As they talked, the two gradually closed the distance between them.

Because of the height difference, Shen Zhaoyi was forced to look up, and her eyes showed some emotion.

After saying his last words, sensing her acceptance, Su Ye finally leaned in and kissed her.

All words were drowned out by the exchange of breaths.

The sound of the tide gradually rose in the distance, and his heart pounded deafeningly at that moment.

This kiss was far too awkward.

A cursory dabble, a fleeting touch, and the journey ends.

"Tonight's focus is on your birthday," Shen Zhaoyi said with a smile, pulling away from his embrace and tapping his chest with her fingertip. "Let's cut the cake first, shall we?"

Su Ye took a deep breath, walked around to her back, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Okay..."

It was half an hour later when we left the deck.

The person in charge suddenly appeared out of nowhere and handed her the expense list.

As she signed, Shen Zhaoyi secretly rejoiced that she hadn't lost her temper earlier.

Both of them tried the bottle of red wine on the table, and called a designated driver to drive it home.

The space inside the carriage was even smaller, and the lingering feeling of that kiss seemed to still be on their lips, making the surrounding air feel thick and sticky.

Shen Zhaoyi attributed all of this to the fact that she hadn't been in a relationship for too long.

Su Ye appeared much calmer, but that was only an appearance.

As the car passed a 24-hour pharmacy, he made up his mind to ask the designated driver to pull over for a while.

Shen Zhaoyi knew perfectly well what this person was going to do.

She poured her heart out on the deck and got the answer she wanted most. As an adult, when you meet the right person, many things will happen naturally.

When the other person returned, her gaze fell on the paper packaging bag, her eyes full of mockery.

When they arrived at the apartment complex, neither of them spoke for the several tens of seconds the elevator was going up.

The moment the fingerprint lock was unlocked, the ambient lights in the room lit up one by one.

At this point, Su Ye found himself somewhat at a loss.

Shen Zhaoyi went to her room, found her pajamas, and before going into the bathroom, she peeked out at him and said, "Why don't you go take a shower first?"

This statement is like a clear signal.

Su Ye agreed in a hoarse voice. After making up her mind, she picked up her phone and awkwardly entered the master bedroom's bathroom.

She didn't come out until half an hour later, wearing loose loungewear.

The living room was empty.

Shen Zhaoyi's matter is not yet finished.

He sat on the sofa, some images uncontrollably flashing through his mind, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"Ding--"

The air conditioner was turned on, and the temperature dropped accordingly.

When Shen Zhaoyi came out with her hair up, she was almost startled by the temperature difference.

"Are you hot?"

She asked, puzzled.

Su Ye's gaze fell on her face, and his body instinctively moved closer.

Everything fell into place.

Shen Zhaoyi was actually a little flustered inside.

Although she has had many relationships, they were always just skirting the line.

In a sense, he was also a greenhorn.

But Su Ye had at least secretly learned a bit earlier, and was gradually gaining the upper hand in this matter.

Seeing Shen Zhaoyi's infatuation with him, a huge sense of satisfaction swept over him.

It's the only one, so what's there to be conflicted about?
It's enough that the person you love loves you now.

As for the future, whether they stay together or part ways, he will wish her well.

(Because of Su Ye's work, she has to have regular health checkups, so she just set up the bed here. In real life, I hope you girls won't be so casual. To prevent the spread of diseases and pay attention to sexual health, girls must protect themselves when they are out!)

In the bathroom, Su Ye opened the search bar on her phone, about to type in "What steps should I take the first time?"

The search history appeared on the screen first, with two terms being searched frequently:
1. Men's outfits to make them look younger
2. The most recent racing competition in City S
