Damn it! The girl he likes insists on dragging him to a blind date.

When Xia You and Sheng Zongche came downstairs, they saw He Yunqi surrounded by four people in the large living room.

The ceiling for men's looks has been completely shattered; they wear playing cards as crowns on their heads and their faces are covered with random little notes.

Sheng Wanyu chimed in from the side, "Hurry up, imitate a cat's meow, and add the movements, you have to imitate a Persian cat!"

Gu Chi: "Let's meow like a male cat, the kind that's in heat."

Hsu Yen-ting: "Should we make a heart shape with our cat paws again?"

Jiang Yunqian kept laughing: "Senior He, can I record a video for you?"

Surrounded by a group of people, He Yunqi was in a terrible mood. "Stop it! Stop torturing single people, okay? Bullying honest people will get you struck by lightning!"

At this moment, He Yunqi's outrageously handsome face was now just comical, and the group laughed so hard they couldn't even hold their cards.

Sheng Zongche, holding Xia You's hand, walked over and asked, "What's going on with you guys?"

He Yunqi exclaimed as if he'd seen a savior, "See? Brother Che is the most sensible one!"

Sheng Zongche walked up to him, casually picked up a lettuce leaf from the table and stuck it on his face: "What's so fun about sticking white toilet paper on your face? Stick some green ones, they're better for your eyes."

"..."

He Yunqi was so angry that he threw all the things on his face off and sat down with a thud, his face looking like it had been splashed with a bucket of excrement.

Gu Chi moved closer to him. "Why are you making such a sour face? Today is Sheng Zongche's big day, are you trying to sabotage him?"

He Yunqi rolled his eyes and turned his gaze to Jiang Yunqian, who was chatting and laughing with Xia You not far away.

The girl smiled sweetly and beautifully, with Xu Yanting holding her waist the whole time.

It has to be admitted that the two of them are a perfect match, so perfect that it's almost blinding.

He Yunqi looked away and said irritably, "Tch, try bullying you and you'll be even angrier than me."

Gu Chi: "I'm not a jerk, why should I be bullied?"

He Yunqi: "Damn it, can you stop cursing at me? Haven't I suffered enough retribution?"

Hearing their conversation, Sheng Zongche leaned closer and said, "Why don't you do what Qin Shi Huang did and look for an elixir of immortality, try to live longer, outlive Xu Yanting to death, and then the lead-containing ginger will be yours."

He Yunqi: "..."

Six people sat down around the table, which was decorated with fresh flowers. The French chef and waiters served French cuisine dish by dish.

After a few rounds of drinks, Sheng Wanyu, a little tipsy, said, "We're having such a great time today, how about we play Truth or Dare?"

Gu Chi smiled and took a sip of red wine: "How old are you, sister? Still playing such childish games?"

Xia You said, "I want to play! I didn't see Sheng Zongche kiss Senior Gu at his birthday party last time, I want to see it this time!"

Gu Chi: ?

Sheng Zongche snorted, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Why does it have to be Gu Chi? How about kissing He Yunqi? Or maybe a French kiss?"

He Yunqi: ?

Xia You: "Okay, okay!"

Jiang Yunqian pulled Xu Yanting aside and said, "Everyone here is studying finance, including Sister Wanyu. Only Brother Yanting is studying medicine. How about he gives us a question, and the first person to answer correctly can choose between truth or dare?"

Everyone agreed.

Xu Yanting asked curiously, "Among you finance students, who is the best?"

Sheng Wanyu shook her head. "It definitely wasn't me. I forgot everything I learned as soon as I graduated!"

He Yunqi interjected, "It's probably Brother Che."

Jiang Yunqian retorted, "Not necessarily, Youyou is also very capable."

Xia You glared at Sheng Zongche, unconvinced: "Was I right?"

Sheng Zongche chuckled: "Xia Xiaoyou, your fighting spirit is off the charts just to see me kiss other people."

Xu Yanting smiled slightly, pondered for a minute, and then spoke—

"This question is actually very simple; let's see who answers the fastest. Assuming the fever reducer is 0.1g/tablet, the adult dose is 8mg/kg per dose, every 8 hours, Sheng Zongche's actual weight is 75kg, but Xia You recorded it as 80kg. How many tablets should he correctly take per dose? Did Xia You give him too many tablets because she miscalculated?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Zongche glanced sideways at Xia You: "Xia Xiaoyou, did you murder your husband?"

Xia You went crazy: "Didn't you hear it was a hypothetical situation?!"

Sheng Wanyu scratched her head. "No, my brain is a complete mess. I didn't remember anything."

The remaining three people remained silent, not intending to use their brains at all. They simply drank their wine, waiting to see Xia You and Sheng Zongche put on a show.

Two seconds later, Xia You slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "The correct single dose is 6 tablets! I miscalculated and gave you 0.4 extra tablets!"

Sheng Zongche looked at Xu Yanting with disdain: "What kind of question is this? Six fever reducers at once? Are you trying to kill me young?"

Hsu Yen-ting: "I just said it offhand. What to do? Your wife answered faster than you."

Sheng Zongche: "When I heard this question, I thought I was about to die, how could I possibly be in the mood to answer it?"

Xia You linked her arm with his and said, "Whether you let me win or not, I answered correctly, so I have to do Truth or Dare. You go kiss Senior He right now!"

He Yunqi, who was sipping red wine: ?

All around me were shouts of encouragement: "Kiss! Kiss!"

A group of people were shouting and getting more and more excited, even clapping their hands to keep the rhythm.

Sheng Zongche got up and moved next to He Yunqi, raising his eyebrows suggestively.

He Yunqi took a step back: "Are you serious, Brother Che?"

"It's my wife's order, I can't help it, I don't want to either, just bear with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Zongche cupped He Yunqi's face, turned his head, and his thin lips quickly swept across He Yunqi's cheek.

"..."

The electric-like sensation left He Yunqi frozen in shock.

My friends, all holding their phones, surrounded me, and the noise nearly lifted the roof off.

He Yunqi cursed, "Damn it!!"

……

After playing until late at night, everyone went back to their rooms.

Xia You stood on the balcony on the third floor of the villa, gazing into the distance, the evening breeze ruffling her long hair.

After standing for a while, she felt a warm embrace behind her.

The early spring night in Paris was still quite chilly. The girl's long hair brushed against Sheng Zongche's face. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, whispering, "What are you looking at, wife? Aren't you going to bed?"

Xia You turned to look at him: "I never dreamed that I would come to Paris one day."

"Anything else?"

"And... I never dreamed I would marry you."

Sheng Zongche hugged her tightly from behind, saying, "Don't worry, this dream will last until the end of the world."

As night deepens, the lights of the Eiffel Tower remain dazzling, and the Seine flows quietly, witnessing a love that began as a secret crush and culminated in a vow to stay together for life in this romantic city.

The joy and anticipation hidden in my heart all those years, the journeys across mountains and seas and the reunions, have all transformed into the peaceful and serene moments of this life. May the rest of my life be filled with tranquility and gentleness.

The melodious sound of a violin drifted from afar, mingled with the laughter of tourists on the riverbank. Xia You leaned against Sheng Zongche's chest, gazing at the starry sky and the lights on the river.

Suddenly, I realized that all the waiting was worthwhile.

The best love is always a two-way journey of mutual attraction, from gazing at each other from afar to walking side by side, from youthful crushes to lifelong companionship.

The Seine will continue to flow, the Eiffel Tower will continue to light up every night, and their story is just beginning.

I once watched his back from across the crowd, and I once held back my courage but dared not speak. Now, on the banks of the Seine, with the evening breeze as my witness and the flowing water as my matchmaker, the joy I secretly cherished all those years has become an open and blatant affection. From now on, we will be together through every meal and every season, day and night.

Xia You said, "Sheng Zongche, thank you for coming into my world."

Sheng Zongche: "Fool, your world has always been mine, and it will always be mine."

The wind sways the clear shadow, conveying good news; the heart of the pomelo, harboring thoughts, will eventually respond.

It was a really tough road to finish writing this; it's a tearful story. I thought that since I'd started, I had to finish it even with tears in my eyes (I only missed one day of updates, I have to praise myself, hands on hips!!).

I probably won't be starting any new stories for a very long time, and even if I do, I won't be writing any more sweet romance stories. If I do write some later, I'll come back and delete this sentence. ૮ ´͈ ᗜ `͈ ა
