But Ye Cang thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what Shen Huai was lacking.
Although money isn't everything, it can basically buy anything you want, especially for someone as wealthy as Shen Huai. Plus, he's not a very ambitious person and doesn't have any particular hobbies.
So, Ye Cang subtly inquired about Shen Huai.
Shen Huai: "There's nothing I really want, but if I had to say, I'm thinking of starting my own overseas publicity company. The procedures at the company's publicity department are complicated and not professional enough, which is really inconvenient."
Ye Cang: "..."
Shen Huai: "By the way, why did you ask that?"
Ye Cang: "It's nothing, sorry to bother you."
Gift-giving? PASS!
Some netizens suggested using exercise to create opportunities to connect with the other person, such as hiking or working out. They suggested casually taking off sweaty clothes to reveal a six-pack, showcasing a masculine side and impressing the other person with your impressive physique.
Upon seeing this suggestion, Ye Cang recalled the sight of Shen Huai when he took off his shirt. His muscles were well-defined and his lines were smooth. Even if his recent fitness efforts had yielded remarkable results, he probably still wouldn't be able to attract Shen Huai's attention.
Hiking is a good option. Ye Cang has been working out a lot lately, while Shen Huai hasn't been to the gym for a long time due to his busy work schedule. He definitely can't beat him in terms of physical strength.
With that in mind, Ye Cang directly invited Shen Huai to go hiking, and even specially chose a weekday morning.
Shen Huai had just finished his work and agreed.
Ye Cang, unusually early to bed, excitedly drove with Shen Huai to the foot of the mountain before dawn.
Ye Cang said confidently, "Let's climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise!"
Shen Huai nodded.
At the beginning, Ye Cang was very fast, and Shen Huai sped up a bit to accommodate him. However, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Ye Cang was already struggling.
He was panting heavily, looking at the distant mountaintop, feeling a little regretful. Ye Cang's body was still too weak to begin with. Even though he had been working out recently, it was impossible to raise his physical strength to an extremely high level all at once.
In contrast, Shen Huai looked much more relaxed.
Although he has been busy with work lately and hasn't been able to exercise, he has always maintained a habit of exercising and used to go hiking with friends. This height is not too difficult for him.
Shen Huai looked at Ye Cang's pale face with concern: "Are you alright? Or shall we go down the mountain?"
Ye Cang gritted his teeth and insisted, "No way! I said I'd go to the mountaintop to watch the sunrise, and I have to keep my word!"
Shen Huai had no choice but to tell him some tips for climbing mountains. Finally, seeing that Ye Cang was struggling too much, he simply grabbed his wrist.
Ye Cang was startled by the sudden warmth on his wrist. He unconsciously followed Shen Huai's lead and walked up the mountain. In that instant, it was as if all his fatigue had disappeared. The only thing he could feel was his wrist.
Although the two of them tried their best to climb to the top of the mountain, they still missed the sunrise.
The sun was already high in the sky, and the early autumn wind blew through the mountains, taking away the last bit of warmth from them.
Shen Huai let out a long sigh. There were too many things to do lately, and even he was overwhelmed. In addition, he needed to communicate with people constantly, so he was actually quite frustrated, but he kept it all bottled up inside.
Climbing the mountain with Ye Cang unexpectedly helped me untangle the knot in my chest.
He closed his eyes, feeling the mountain breeze and birdsong, his brows gradually relaxed, revealing a relaxed smile.
Ye Cang was initially very annoyed, but seeing Shen Huai's relaxed expression, his annoyance vanished.
Although the process went a bit wrong, it wasn't entirely without effect.
However, hiking? PASS!
Ye Cang looked at the few suggestions he had crossed out, but he became more determined and moved on to the next one.
This netizen suggested that surprises are the most important thing when pursuing someone. For example, have a candlelight dinner on their birthday or an anniversary, and sing them a love song tenderly. In such a romantic setting, all the beautiful feelings will be amplified, and the other person will definitely be able to feel your love.
Ye Cang thought for a moment. Shen Huai's birthday had already passed, and there were no anniversaries recently. He flipped through the calendar before finally setting a date.
However, given his current fame, a candlelight dinner at a restaurant was out of the question, and Shen Huai would never agree to it. So, he settled for second best, taking advantage of Shen Huai's absence to decorate the house and prepare a love song to sing while playing the guitar.
As soon as Shen Huai entered the house, he was stunned by the layout, and then he heard the smooth sound of a piano coming from the other side.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and walked towards the piano.
Ye Cang's ten fingers flew across the piano keys, and his singing was full of affection. He looked at Shen Huai with deep affection and slowly sang this love song from the last century.
Ye Cang exudes an incredible charisma when he sings, captivating everyone's attention both on and off stage. Even Shen Huai is often mesmerized by his charm, stopping to listen intently until he finishes singing.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, another surprise awaited.
Shen Huai stood by the table, hesitant to speak, but Ye Cang had already pulled out a chair for him.
Shen Huai couldn't bear to spoil his intentions, so he ultimately said nothing and sat down.
Both of them were eating, but they both seemed a little restless. Although they didn't speak, the temperature in the room seemed to be slowly rising.
Ye Cang was a little nervous; he felt even more nervous than when he held his first concert in his previous life.
He couldn't eat much at all, but seeing that Shen Huai seemed to have eaten enough, he put down his chopsticks.
Almost at the same time he put down his chopsticks, Shen Huai seemed to realize something and also put down his utensils.
Ye Cang moistened his lips, clenched and unclenched his hands on the table, and finally simply placed them on his lap.
He asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"
Shen Huai adjusted his glasses and casually picked up a glass of red wine from the table to hide his nervousness: "...I don't know."
