"I'm just love-struck, I'm indecisive, I just can't bring myself to be ruthless, but—what's it to you!"
The crisp sound echoed across the sea, stirring up a flock of seagulls searching for food.
Fu Shuyu suddenly laughed, a genuine laugh that came from the heart, without any pretense.
He smiled at Yan Shenyu, feeling a sense of exhilaration he had never experienced before.
Then he heard Yan Shenyu say, "Of course, it is indeed wrong of you to waste food."
Fu Shuyu: "..."
Yan Shenyu: "Why don't you heat up those two Australian lobsters and eat them for dinner?"
Fu Shuyu: ?
Chapter 58 The Wildfire That Never Dies.
Early that morning, Yan Shenyu and the maritime rescue team arrived at the cave and found Fu Jingran and Yan Sheng, who were trapped inside.
Upon seeing them enter, Fu Jingran asked with a bewildered look, "What brings you all here? Did you come to see the moon too?"
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Young Master Fu will probably stop laughing soon.
During the time Fu Jingran was missing, the Fu family suffered even more than Wildfire Technology. Fu Da officially chose to go independent, not only dividing up most of the Fu family's assets but also taking away a large number of people who had once served the Fu family.
Besides top-tier wealthy families like the Xie and Fu families, other tycoons have also been attacked to varying degrees.
Yan Shenyu still wasn't quite clear about Fu Da's purpose, but he didn't have much energy to pay attention to others. All he could do was protect those around him.
After returning to Beijing, Yan Shenyu told his family about the incident and asked them to be careful at work.
As for himself, as soon as the variety show recording ended, Yan Shenyu packed his bags and moved to Xie Siyan's place.
He originally planned to hire a Japanese-style moving company himself, but after he told Xie Siyan the moving time, Xie Siyan said he would send someone over to pack.
On the day of the move, Uncle Gao from the Xie family's old house personally led a group of people over.
The car door opened, and two rows of uniformed servants stood at the entrance of the Yan family's residence, each looking shrewd and capable. This was the Xie family's own domestic service company, providing services exclusively to the Xie family.
That afternoon, Yan Shenyu was taken, along with her luggage, to Xie Siyan's luxurious penthouse in the city center.
From packing luggage, moving, rearranging luggage, cleaning floors and furniture, they didn't let Yan Shenyu lift a finger. They even tidied up the common areas of the house before they left.
Only after everyone left, and Yan Shenyu lay on the soft bed in the master bedroom, did she finally feel a sense of reality.
He and Xie Siyan started living together.
Yan Shenyu took out her phone and sent Xie Siyan a message: "I've arrived."
Okay, I'll be back tonight.
That day, Xie Siyan, who had been working non-stop for three days and three nights, finally returned home.
The moment he opened the security door, he was suddenly stunned. The scene before him was both familiar and strange, making him hesitant to move forward for a moment.
The room lights were on, casting a warm yellow glow on the young man's pale skin. Yan Shenyu, wearing an apron, stood in front of the kitchen island; the range hood was on, and the pot was sizzling.
Seeing him return, Yan Shenyu looked up and smiled at him, her tone natural: "You're back?"
Xie Siyan then came to his senses. He gave a soft "hmm," then loosened his tie, hung his suit jacket aside, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over: "Are you cooking? Do you need my help?"
"No need, it'll be done soon." Yan Shenyu shook her head. "You can rest for a bit, or take a shower, and then you can eat."
Xie Siyan didn't insist any further and turned to go into the bathroom.
The bathroom is also different from before, with Yan Shenyu's skincare products and shower gel now in place.
While showering, Xie Siyan secretly squeezed out a couple of drops of Yan Shenyu's shower gel. He didn't look closely, but after applying it to his body, he realized something was wrong. Why wasn't the texture lotion? It was more like... oil?
It feels smooth and silky on the skin, and exudes a rich rose scent.
But he remembered that the packaging said "SHOWER". Xie Siyan turned the bottle around and saw that there was an "OIL" after "SHOWER", but he had overlooked it because of the angle.
Bath oil? Does such a thing exist?
But since Yan Shenyu is using it, it proves that it really is for bathing.
Xie Siyan reluctantly applied the bath oil to his body. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but it felt like he had been washing for a long time and there was still oil residue on his skin.
Not wanting to keep Yan Shenyu waiting, he rinsed himself for a while, washed his hair, and quickly got dressed and went out.
As soon as Yan Shenyu placed the last dish on the table, she almost instantly smelled the rich rose scent and couldn't help but smile: "You used my bath oil?"
Xie Siyan was setting out the tableware when he paused for a moment. After a long while, he looked up and said casually, "Yours? I just squeezed it out without paying much attention."
Yan Shenyu touched his exposed skin, and sure enough, it was smooth.
He smiled, sat down opposite Xie Siyan, and explained, "Bath oil has an extra emulsification process compared to shower gel. Next time you shower, mix the oil and water together, and it won't be greasy."
"I see." Xie Siyan nodded, having learned another new point of knowledge.
Tonight was Yan Shenyu's first time cooking formally, and surprisingly, the presentation and taste were both quite good.
To celebrate Yan Shenyu's housewarming, Xie Siyan opened a bottle of champagne to accompany the meal.
Yan Shenyu couldn't hold his liquor; his face turned red after just one glass. Xie Siyan, on the other hand, was in high spirits and drank almost half a bottle by himself.
"Stop drinking," Yan Shenyu said, raising her hand to stop him when he wanted to drink more. "Don't you have to go to work? If you drink any more, you'll have a hangover tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I won't drink anymore," Xie Siyan put down his glass and couldn't help but smile. "I was just a little happy and couldn't help myself."
After dinner, Xie Siyan put the dishes in the dishwasher, picked out a vinyl record to play, and then sat quietly on the sofa with Yan Shenyu.
After a while, Xie Siyan said with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I've been busy with company matters lately and haven't had much time to spend with you."
“It’s okay,” Yan Shenyu shook her head, then looked up at him and asked, “How’s your company doing?”
Xie Siyan was silent for a moment, then admitted frankly, "It's a big blow, but it's not entirely unsolvable."
Yan Shenyu doesn't understand technology, but he has read a lot of news these days and has a vague idea of how fatal a lack of chips can be to a technology consumer goods manufacturing company.
Just like his jewelry designs, if he can't buy precious diamonds, then no matter how exquisite his design is, the product's effect will be greatly reduced.
“You don’t need to worry too much,” Xie Siyan said slowly. “Although the situation is not optimistic right now, Wildfire Technology started developing its own chip three years ago, and it is expected to be officially put into use this year.”
Hearing this, Yan Shenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For the next month, Xie Siyan was busy from dawn till dusk every day, rarely seen.
Although they were living together, Xie Siyan had not returned when Yan Shenyu went to sleep, and when Yan Shenyu woke up the next day, Xie Siyan had already gotten up and left.
When Yan Shenyu woke up in the middle of the night, he vaguely felt someone kissing his forehead, which confirmed that Xie Siyan had indeed come back.
Xie Siyan is very busy with work, and Yan Shenyu often goes to the studio to complete his design orders.
He had previously only considered jewelry design as a part-time job, but recently he has gradually discovered that the process of designing and cutting jewelry allows him to calm down.
Often, he gets so engrossed in it that he doesn't realize it's already dark when he comes to his senses.
Occasionally, I get so caught up in the design process that I want to finish the jewelry overnight, especially in the final stage of production.
But Yan Shenyu has never stayed up all night. It seems that she and Xie Siyan have formed a tacit understanding that no matter how late they work, they will go home.
One day, Yan Shenyu returned from the studio at 2 a.m., and he decided to wait for Xie Siyan.
Xie Siyan finally returned at 3 a.m.
When Xie Siyan opened the door and saw that he was still awake, he was clearly taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and kissed him on the cheek: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?"
Yan Shenyu wanted to say no, that he had just returned, but when he saw Xie Siyan's gentle eyes and heard his deliberately softened voice, his nose suddenly stung, and he couldn't help but reach out and hug him: "I missed you."
Xie Siyan paused for a moment, then hugged Yan Shenyu tightly.
He missed him, but this project was so crucial that he couldn't spare the time.
They had just gotten together and were in the honeymoon phase when this happened. Yan Shenyu never uttered a word of complaint; instead, she tried her best to soothe his emotions.
Even when I missed him, I never disturbed his work. I would just wait quietly until late at night and give him a hug, and that would be enough for me.
Her boyfriend is so cute, even his coquettishness is soft and sweet, with a rose-scented fragrance.
Xie Siyan slowly tightened his arms, immersed in this familiar atmosphere, and gradually closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'll be fine once I get through this busy period." The man's voice was low and steady, filled with deep apology.
Yan Shenyu closed his eyes and nodded emphatically.
It was getting late, and he didn't want to keep Xie Siyan waiting, so he let go of her arms and urged her to go take a shower. But Xie Siyan didn't move, her arms encircling him like iron rings: "Just a little longer..."
Yan Shenyu paused for a moment, then compromised, "Then it'll only be for a little while. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Xie Siyan simply held him quietly, exchanging steady, powerful heartbeats. After a while, he brushed Yan Shenyu's bangs aside, placed a kiss on his forehead, and then got up and went into the bathroom.
Xie Siyan turned on the shower, squeezed a large dollop of shower oil into his palm, emulsified it with water, and then applied it all over his body.
Xiao Siyan below stared blankly, but Xie Siyan didn't even look at her. She quickly rinsed off the water, dried herself, and went out.
Yan Shenyu was already asleep, her cheeks soft and her black hair cascading down her back.
Xie Siyan's heart skipped a beat. She leaned down and kissed his cheek, then opened the blanket and lay down on the bed.
Only in this moment can he briefly escape from the pressure of his work.
When he was working long hours, he could hardly go home even once a month.
But now, he suddenly understood why Vice President An, the famous workaholic at Wildfire Technology, had such a drastic change in temperament after marriage, and why he would always come home no matter how busy he was with work.
Because there is not only home there, but also the lover he cherishes most in his heart.
Another month passed, and in early October, Fu Da, who had once turned major companies upside down, reappeared on the internet.
He released an app called Junfu, which claimed to have inclusive financial functions. He also claimed that users who downloaded the Junfu app could receive a certain amount of cash for free as long as they completed the corresponding identity verification and asset proof.
Adult users with less than 10,000 yuan in liquid assets can receive 10,000 yuan in cash, those with less than 50,000 yuan can receive 5,000 yuan, those with less than 100,000 yuan can receive 1,000 yuan, and so on.
Those with liquid assets exceeding 100,000 yuan are classified as middle-income earners and are ineligible for subsidies from the Junfu APP.
At the same time, the app also opened a donation channel for the wealthy, allowing them to donate funds to help more poor people.
The app quickly became a trending topic after its launch.
At first, some people thought it was a trap or a gimmick, until people started posting pictures of their cash rewards—one thousand, five thousand, or even ten thousand… No need to recruit others to register, no need to share, no need for others to help you cut the price; all you need to do is prove you are poor.
