Ch77.2 - Valentine’s (2/2)
Zhou Sheng said, “Did you have a good meal?”
Zhang Liang could only say, “It’s not bad.”
Zhou Sheng said, “You are welcome to visit us often in the future. Oh do you also want to go stargazing?”
Zhang Liang quickly refused, “No no.”

Fu Liqun was following behind, and he was laughing so hard that he swayed unsteadily from side to side. After they left, a Bentley was parked at the entrance. Fu Liqun fished the keys out, pressed it, then got into the driver’s seat. Zhou Sheng opened the door for Cen Shan first and said, “Sis-in-law, you first.” Cen Shan sat inside. Zhou Sheng then opened the door for Yu Hao, revealing a blinding diamond watch on his wrist.
“Little Young Master, get in ah.” Zhou Sheng said to Yu Hao.
“Then……see you next time?” Yu Hao said to Zhang Liang.
“See you next time! See you next time!” Zhang Liang was carrying a bag and raised his hand towards Yu Hao.
Zhou Sheng got in the car. Fu Liqun drove and began laughing wildly.
Fu Liqun, “Hahahahaha!”
Yu Hao, “All of you knock it off!!”

Cen Shan said, “Was it that fun? You guys really are just a bunch of kids.”
Zhou Sheng took his watch off and said, “Gege, go by the back door and wait there for a bit.”
When they arrived at the back gate, Zhou Sheng whistled and asked someone to call the manager over. He took off the watch and said, “Return this to my Dad, thanks Uncle Lin!”
The manager smiled as he accepted it. Fu Liqun turned the steering wheel and drove the Bentley away.
“Where did this car come from?” Zhou Sheng asked, “Woah fuck! Sis-in-law, you’re too cool!”
Cen Shan laughed and said, “I borrowed it from my Dad too.”
Fu Liqun and Zhou Sheng burst out laughing, and Yu Hao was absolutely baffled, “What the hell are you guys trying to do?”
Zhou Sheng said solemnly, “Nothing much, are you full? Let’s go eat some stir-fry?”
Fu Liqun burped, “I really can’t eat anymore, Young Master.”
Yu Hao said, “I can’t either, I ate a lot today somehow.”
Zhou Sheng, “Looking at the situation now……you’ll need to blacklist this one too ba?”
“Hahahaha——” Cen Shan finally couldn’t hold it back anymore and laughed so hard in the passenger seat until her stomach hurt, “Aiya oh my goodness, you guys are way too amusing.”
Yu Hao said, “Why are we amusing? Zhou Sheng! I didn’t want to date him! I was just making a friend!”

Fu Liqun said, “So, to the riverside or the observatory on Mt. Yunding?”
“Shifu, let’s go to the sandbank and have some wine bei.” Cen Shan suggested.
“Beep beep, accepted a passenger with numbers ending in 250.” Fu Liqun said, “There’s a camera three kilometers ahead.”
“You’re the 250!” Cen Shan and Zhou Sheng retorted in unison.
Yu Hao leaned on the car window and looked up at the stars. The sky was clear and cloudless on the night of Valentine’s but the lights from the city were too bright, so he couldn’t see the Milky Way clearly. Fu Liqun drove across the river bridge and onto the sand bank opposite. Once they entered the sandbank, there were fewer lights. They turned into a silent, desolate row of cafes in the Wenchuang area, and the Milky Way suddenly appeared in the sky.
Fu Liqun, “Beep beep, no more orders will be received.”
The open air balcony of the cafe was lit with candles, and soft music played. A lot of guests were stargazing as they drank. On the third floor, the shop manager had set up sofas, tables, two bottles of wine, and mosquito repellent incense everywhere. After your eyes got accustomed to the dark, the Milky Way’s splendour and beauty were unparalleled as it stretched across the expanse of the dome of the night.

“It’s really beautiful.” Yu Hao said, “How did you guys find this place? Yi? Why is our table the only one on the rooftop? Are there no other guests?”
“Your sis-in-law is a hipster when it comes to the arts.” Fu Liqun said, “She knows how to find all these strange places.”
“This Wenchuang area should have been opened by your acquaintance ba?” Zhou Sheng exposed the secret.
Cen Shan laughed and said, “It’s not as luxurious as Yun Lai Chun though.”
“Yun Lai Chun only has three branches in Ying City.” Zhou Sheng said, “There’s only a small restaurant left you haven’t been to in the suburbs. How could it be compared to sis-in-law’s huge conglomeration that’s everywhere?”
Fu Liqun laughed so hard he ended up leaning over the table. Yu Hao uttered in surprise, “Sis-in-law! Your family opened this shop?”
Cen Shan said, “It’s all my Dad’s, what does it have to do with me? Ai——”

Zhou Sheng, “Ai——”
Fu Liqun, “Ai——”
Yu Hao heard the underlying meaning behind those three “ai”s and thought, I’m the one who should be uttering the most ‘ai’s, what are you guys sighing for? If my Dad was an official, boss Zhou would itch to start beating the drums and stuff me and Zhou Sheng into a bridal chamber……but then again would they be able to accept a marriage between their sons? I guess not ba. But they would definitely be delighted and hope that we could get closer, ai——
“Still going on more blind dates?” Zhou Sheng asked, “You’ve gone on blind dates with both poor and rich ones, yet they’re all so ugly.”
Fu Liqun said, “That guy should be a scum guy ba? He already knew that you wouldn’t accept red packets yet he kept sending them to you……”
Yu Hao said, “Okay, don’t talk about it anymore, I was wrong.”
Cen Shan drank some wine and stared at the Milky Way quietly. She said, “Yu Hao, can you tell which star is your father?”
Yu Hao looked for awhile and said, “He didn’t blink at me today, can’t find him.”
Cen Shan said, “I forgot which star is my mother too.”
Yu Hao said, “But they’re definitely there, they wouldn’t lie to us.”
All four of them were quiet. Cen Shan said, “Yeah, I believe that too.” She smiled and raised her glass at Yu Hao.
Yu Hao smiled too, and Zhou Sheng said, “Cheers! To wish Vico and Zhang Liang good health!”

Yu Hao, “Quit it!”
The four of them raised their glasses that reflected the Milky Way within.
