Chapter 484: Knowing he was done for

~8 min read 1,402 words

This time, Shen Xing didn't daze out again but readily bought the couple tickets.

After all, the two had already pretended to be a couple to take advantage of the coffee shop's offer, so they didn't mind doing it again.

After passing through the ticket gate with their paper tickets, Shen Xing murmured in confusion: "How do you think they distinguish whether two people are a couple? If two people come and both buy couple tickets, does anyone even buy adult tickets?"

Seeing him ask so seriously and foolishly, Sang Hui couldn't help but smile and point it out to him: "Look at the purchase instructions on the back. The requirement for a couple ticket is actually just one man and one woman. Naturally, they won't investigate whether the people buying the tickets are really a couple. It's just a form of ticket sales, giving people of the opposite sex who are traveling together another ticket option. It's considered a marketing tactic; after all, it is a bit cheaper than an adult package."

Shen Xing understood. Thinking about it this way, the activity at the coffee shop earlier was actually the same.

Inside the aquarium, the temperature was much more comfortable because the temperature of the entire environment, from the interior to the containers and the water, had to be precisely controlled. Some precious marine animals were very delicate, and if the temperature wasn't right, it could very likely cause them to get sick or even die.

Entering from the main gate, the first thing that caught the eye was a huge cylindrical glass exhibit pool, inside which colorful fish were swimming, appearing extremely dreamy when combined with the lighting effects in the water.

An orange-black clownfish was stuck to the glass, staring with its eyes wide open and motionless, as if it had fallen asleep with its eyes open.

Sang Hui hurriedly pushed Shen Xing over: "Shen Xing, put your face close to it; I'll take a photo of you and it."

Shen Xing obeyed obediently, but just as his face got close, the fish suddenly darted far away, as if it had been scared by Shen Xing.

"It ran away." Shen Xing shrugged helplessly.

Sang Hui laughed: "Then just stand to the side; I'll take two photos of you. I see your profile picture is still a photo from when you were little."

Shen Xing nodded: "My mom took it for me on my seventh birthday."

"You were quite cute when you were little."

"And now?" Shen Xing asked subconsciously, but a trace of anticipation welled up in his heart the moment he asked.

Sang Hui looked at him and said softly: "You're quite cute now too."

Shen Xing didn't know if the word "cute" was good or bad when describing a boy. After growing up, he had been complimented on being sunny, cheerful, and handsome, but rarely had anyone called him cute.

Then do you like cute boys?

This sentence echoed in Shen Xing's heart, but he didn't dare to ask it out loud.

Then he heard Sang Hui add another sentence: "But I think your personality is very good. Although I haven't had much contact with you, I can feel that you are a very good person. My intuition is quite accurate, and your upbringing must be very good."

Especially at the same time, with a control group like Guo Yu jumping around in front of her.

It made Shen Xing look even better in every way.

Being affirmed and complimented by the girl he liked to his face, Shen Xing instantly turned into a happy puppy, scratching his head in embarrassment: "I do have a good mom and two very good sisters."

Regarding the family atmosphere, although there was a lack of fatherly love, Shen Xing had never felt inferior because of it; instead, he had always felt very happy.

Sang Hui seized the opportunity and captured the moment of Shen Xing's genuine joy.

"It looks good!" She looked at the photo on her phone with satisfaction and walked to Shen Xing's side to show him: "You're quite photogenic."

"It's because you take good photos. Let's go inside; I'll take photos of you with my camera." Shen Xing said, taking his camera out of his bag.

Sang Hui nodded, raised her hand to point to the passage on the left, and blurted out: "Then let's go over there first; the penguin pavilion is over there!"

"How do you know the penguin pavilion is over there?"

Sang Hui realized she had spoken too quickly, but she reacted fast, explaining calmly and naturally: "The pavilion directory at the entrance just now had it marked; I specifically took a look."

Shen Xing didn't doubt her and nodded happily: "Okay, let's go see the penguins first."

Sang Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Jingjie" Housekeeping Cleaning Company.

In the CEO's office, Shen Jingjing was focused on her work when the internal phone on her desk rang.

She picked it up and heard the company receptionist say: "Sister Jingjing, Mr. Fei is here."

At the company, Shen Jingjing preferred everyone to call her Sister Jingjing rather than CEO or Boss.

Hearing this, she subconsciously looked up and scanned her office, which had now become a flower shop.

Since that charity event, Mr. Fei had been openly pursuing her. Ordering flowers to the company every day was a necessary part of his routine, and they were fixed in variety and diverse in color.

They were all kinds of roses, and they had to be accompanied by daily greetings written in his own hand.

At first, Shen Jingjing was naturally unaccustomed to it and even a bit resistant, because frankly, it wasn't as if no men had pursued her over the years, but out of consideration for their identities as middle-aged people, the methods were generally more subtle.

But Mr. Fei was the exact opposite, full of offensive maneuvers; he was the first!

Not only had her friends heard a little about it, but now the whole company knew that an unrevealed Mr. Fei was pursuing her.

It was just that after so many days, the discomfort in her heart had faded, and with Deng Xiwen and other friends around her constantly encouraging and urging her not to close herself off, she felt she should try to see if they were suitable.

So today, she agreed to Mr. Fei's lunch invitation.

At the very least, she should express her gratitude for the flowers he had been sending for so many days.

"Okay, I know, I'll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Shen Jingjing stood up and walked to the mirror in the office to take a simple look. She rarely dressed up deliberately at work, but today she had agreed to have lunch with Mr. Fei in advance, so she had specifically put on makeup and matched her clothes when she went out in the morning to show respect for the other party.

At the company front desk, Mr. Fei Yunzong stood there quietly, waiting in a well-fitting suit, his posture tall and straight.

The company wasn't big, and in just three or five minutes, the news had spread: the mysterious suitor of Sister Jingjing had appeared.

Employees from various departments all used the excuse of being busy to come out and see the real person.

"This Mr. Fei is quite handsome!"

"He's tall too; you can tell he's a big boss. He's quite a match for Sister Jingjing."

"I didn't expect the man who sends flowers to Sister Jingjing every day to be this kind of tough guy. I thought he was one of those greasy old slickers."

"Shh, Sister Jingjing is coming..."

Shen Jingjing walked out of the inner office quickly, and the employees greeted her with meaningful expressions.

Shen Jingjing only responded with a smile one by one until she reached the front desk and saw Fei Yunzong waiting there.

This was their second meeting; the last time was at night, and this time it was during the day, allowing them to see each other more clearly.

With just one look, Fei Yunzong knew he was done for, because the inner palpitation was even stronger at this moment than last time.

And the Shen Jingjing he saw in his eyes also made him feel she was even more beautiful than last time. ===== CHAPTER 485 =====
