Zhutian Films: Starting with the Story of Roses

Upon hearing these words, Huang Jianzhi dropped his chopsticks onto the table with a "clatter".

"What did you say?!" After the Zhou Shihui incident, Huang Jianzhi was now clearly on edge.

Huang Yimei shuffled into the bathroom in her slippers, her voice carrying through the door: "Oh, Dad, don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing!"

Wu Yuejiang remained calm, slowly picking up a piece of pickled vegetable and putting it in her mouth. She glanced at her husband's ashen face and said, "Your daughter said that on purpose."

Clearly, Wu Yuejiang did not believe it.

"Alright, Lao Huang, hurry up and eat. Our daughter is twenty-two this year, and what happened last time didn't really have much to do with her."

Huang Jianzhi picked up his chopsticks again, took a piece of stir-fried peanut with vinegar, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, then put down his chopsticks and sighed softly.

"This girl has been smart since she was little, but I'm afraid that she'll be too smart and end up being too clever for her own good."

In the bathroom, Huang Yimei was washing up and brushing her teeth when Wu Yuejiang heard the gurgling sound of her rinsing and quickly called out, "Come and eat quickly!"

"I'm not eating," Huang Yimei said, opening the door and peeking her head out. "I need to put on makeup later and pick out an outfit for my date."

"You guys eat, don't worry about me."

The couple exchanged a glance.

"This girl."

Rose quickly returned to her room, sat down at her dressing table, and began to put on makeup seriously. Applying a full face of makeup is a very strenuous task for a woman.

Even without makeup, Huang Yimei's natural beauty is enough to make passersby turn their heads. Light makeup and full makeup represent completely different levels and styles.

This is similar to Luffy starting Gear.

The sound of Huang Yimei humming came from the room, her pitch off, almost like she was in Siberia: "Hand in hand, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky~"

"A clock that shows scenes of time travel~"

"My wife still breaks off a willow branch every day; where are you!"

"Love comes too fast, like a tornado~"

When Huang Zhenhua came out yawning, Huang Yimei was still singing a song, while Huang Jianzhi and Wu Yuejiang went out for a walk after finishing their meal.

Huang Zhenhua leaned against the doorway, rubbing his eyes, and casually asked, "What's up, Huang Yimei? You seem to be in a good mood today?"

"Never mind that."

He chuckled and said, "I don't care."

The brother and sister each have their own secrets.

Huang Zhenhua secretly planned to start a business, only telling Chen Yang the news, keeping it a secret from his parents and sister; Huang Yimei's dating with Chen Yang was also kept secret from her family.

Both brother and sister have bright futures.

After a quick wash, Huang Zhenhua left home to secretly attend to his business.

Huang Yimei continued applying makeup, even after her parents returned from their walk. Wu Yuejiang reminded her, "Just a simple makeup is fine."

"You've been on dates before, why are you making such a big fuss?"

Rose waved her hand.

"Today is different."

Huang Yimei let her hair down, curled the ends with a curling iron, turned her face left and right in front of the mirror, and pursed her lips, which were painted with bright red lip gloss, with satisfaction.

After finishing her makeup, she chose an outfit for her date. Today, she picked a white knitted cardigan and paired it with simple blue jeans.

"Perfect!"

The woman in the mirror was dazzlingly beautiful. Huang Yimei was very satisfied with her makeup and attire for the day. She glanced at the time; it was just 10:30.

"Brother Chen Yang said he'd pick me up at eleven, but I think I'll leave early to avoid my parents finding out." Huang Yimei chose to leave early.

The scorching summer sun shone down on his slightly curled, light yellow hair. She squinted, gazing into the distance, and couldn't help but smile.

The Audi that she recognized so well was parked outside the family compound.

Huang Yimei got into the passenger seat, opened the car door, and bent down to give the person inside a bright smile.

"hello!"

"May I sit in the passenger seat?"

Chen Yang smiled and nodded: "Of course."

She stepped in sideways, deliberately slowing down a beat when fastening her seatbelt. Rose caught a glimpse of Chen Yang watching her out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't hide her excitement.

Huang Yimei asked knowingly, "Brother Chen Yang, why were you peeking at me?"

"You look a little different today than before." Chen Yang carefully examined the roses who were dressed up in their finest attire, seemingly even more captivating than on the day of the Sino-French exchange exhibition.

Chen Yang drove away from the family compound.

The plane trees lining the street are lush and green, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"Brother Chen Yang."

"What are our plans for today?"

Huang Yimei rested her elbows on the car window, letting the warm summer breeze brush against her hair, curling up the soft strands, and looked at Chen Yang with her beautiful eyes.

She originally wanted to arrange the schedule for today, but Brother Chen Yang said he would take charge.

"We'll have lunch first. It's a beautiful new restaurant with great reviews online. I saw that many couples go there to take photos."

"We'll go to the cultural and creative park this afternoon, watch the sunset by the river in the evening, and then I'll take you home early tonight."

Huang Yimei's focus was solely on the word "couple," and she seemed rather giddy.

During their lunch, countless eyes in the restaurant fell on Rose, as people couldn't help but be attracted by Huang Yimei's full-makeup look.

Even if their glances only resulted in their female companions feeling suffocated and experiencing a twisting pain in their waists, these men still subconsciously looked at Rose.

Huang Yimei remained oblivious to these intense stares, her eyes seemingly fixed solely on Chen Yang.

In the afternoon, Chen Yang took Rose to stroll around the cultural and creative park.

The architecture here is very atmospheric, with walls covered in creative graffiti, and flowers, greenery, and artistic decorations everywhere, making it a perfect place for a stroll and a chat.

The two walked side by side on the shady path.

Chen Yang commented on the layout and design: "A lot of effort has been put into this place, from a professional design perspective..."

Huang Yimei deliberately slowed her pace, not hearing what Chen Yang said at all. She moved closer to Chen Yang's side little by little, their arms occasionally touching lightly. Every slight collision made her heart beat faster.

The girl's heart was delicate and fluttering, secretly yearning for this intimate and enchanting contact.

Huang Yimei gazed at Chen Yang's profile, as if she had returned to that summer in her memory. She remembered that back then, Brother Chen Yang often carried her home from school.

After regaining her senses, Huang Yimei suddenly noticed a retro Polaroid camera stall not far away, and her eyes were full of anticipation: "Brother Chen Yang, look at that!"

"Shall we take a group photo?"

Chen Yang nodded: "Okay."

The stall owner was very enthusiastic, helping to adjust the angle and light. Of course, the main reason was that his prices were not cheap.

Huang Yimei leaned close to Chen Yang's shoulder, tilted her head slightly, her eyes bright and her smile dazzling. She raised her arm and took Chen Yang's arm.

—Click!

The shutter clicked.

The moment was frozen in time, capturing the image of the two standing side by side.

Soon after, Huang Yimei carefully held the corner of the photo, as if it were a precious treasure. She gently stroked the image with her fingertips, unwilling to let go.

Rose murmured, "Brother Chen Yang."

"It's so beautiful."
