Chapter 86 Part 2 一 Completely reconcile with the past. (Daily Life)
After playing in the tent for a while, time slowly passed.
Gu Fuchen knew that if they continued to play like this, his sister would definitely target him the whole time. So, he immediately quit this “mutual harm” game and switched to something else.
He took out the castle he hadn’t finished building in the morning. Ruan Yōu sat directly on the soft blanket, her hands wrapped around her knees, chin resting on her knees, her eyes clear and her eyelashes flickered when she saw the castle.
“This is so difficult, brother. Let’s build it together. The two of us will probably have to work on it until next week.”
Gu Fuchen didn’t want to play the reverse game anymore, so he reluctantly agreed.
The group of people work together.
Lu Xuan built the back half of the castle, and Lu Jin intentionally gave her a large portion of the task that one person couldn’t complete.
Lu Xuan sighed: “Brother, it’s too much, I can’t finish it.”
Lu Jin: “It’s okay, take your time. It’s a good exercise for your brain.”
With that, he walked over to the coffee table and started building with Gu Fuchen and Ruan Yōu, leaving the little princess alone in the corner of the tent.
Qi Nuo frowned.
He wasn’t foolish and could see what Lu Jin was thinking.
After hesitating for a while, he sat down on the cushion opposite Lu Xuan.
“Shall we do it together?” He paused and added, “Their side is crowded.”
Lu Xuan remembered the scene where they were teased by everyone after watching the movie and instinctively glanced over at Ruan Yōu and the others.
Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, Qi Zhiyan, Jiang Huai, Wen Juxi, and Lu Jin, seven people, whether intentionally or genuinely, didn’t glance their way for a minute.
Lu Xuan scratched her head and nervously nodded.
“You do this part,” Lu Xuan’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse, strained from nervousness.
Qi Nuo pretended not to hear, just making a soft sound of acknowledgment.
Nine people divided into two tables.
Qi Zhiyan worked on a puzzle, stealing glances at Lu Xuan and Qi Nuo, feeling inexplicably anxious for them.
The usually straightforward little princess suddenly felt uneasy, and her little brother was obviously a well-behaved and composed character who would never confess his feelings. She couldn’t imagine that scenario.
The room was quiet.
The evening breeze gently stirred, causing the off-white tent to sway lightly.
Gu Fuchen was discussing gate construction issues with Jiang Huai and Lu Jin. Qi Zhiyan and Wen Juxi were completely focused on assembling a few small flowers. Ruan Yōu and Fu Jiazhan continued their morning work, working on the garden on the right.
Ruan Yōu sat near the entrance of the tent, and it was a bit cold at ten o’clock in the evening. They had laid out a heated blanket, but a cold wind still seeped through their necks.
She couldn’t help but shiver.
Ruan Yōu sniffed and looked around inside the tent to find the blanket.
“Here.”
Fu Jiazhan lowered his voice and gently handed the blanket on the left to Ruan Yōu.
He didn’t take this opportunity to cross the distance and wrap the blanket around her. He just watched her envelop herself in the blanket, like a fluffy little bear.
Fu Jiazhan chuckled softly and stood up.
Ruan Yōu awkwardly turned to her side, wrapped in the blanket, and followed his steps with her gaze.
Fu Jiazhan repeatedly tested the source of the chilly wind, took a while to discover that the zippers at both ends of the upper part weren’t fully closed, and raised his hand to seal it. White light fell on his well-defined knuckles, long and powerful hands, with veins subtly visible, making it a very attractive pair of hands. It would undoubtedly feel comfortable to touch.
Ruan Yōu suddenly remembered what Lu Xuan had told her yesterday.
When you have a boyfriend, you can hold his hand and watch the stars together, fingers interlocked.
She had acted in a few romantic scenes before, with moments of tightly interlocked fingers, but it wasn’t as romantic as Lu Xuan described.
A long, slender finger with distinct joints shook in front of her. Ruan Yōu came to her senses and found that everyone in the tent was looking at her.
Fu Jiazhan was also in front of her.
His eyes sparkled, and his lips curled slightly: “What’s wrong?”
Gu Fuchen: “You were lost in thought for so long. What are you thinking about, Yōuyōu?”
Ruan Yōu quickly looked away, lowered her head and continued to put together the blocks, and said casually: “Nothing, just thinking about the news I saw, whether the meteor shower really happens at eleven tonight.”
Fu Jiazhan: “It’s true.”
Ruan Yōu: “That’s good.”
The tent fell silent again, with everyone focusing on building blocks seriously, but Ruan Yōu was somewhat distracted.
She was actually seriously thinking why holding her own hand and holding a boyfriend’s hand feel different.
. . . . .
At 10:45 p.m., Ruan Yōu’s alarm clock rang twice.
“Get ready to watch the meteor shower,” Ruan Yōu pushed aside her strange thoughts from earlier and focused on the upcoming meteor shower.
Qi Nuo and Lu Xuan also came over.
The nine people were like kindergarten children waiting to be handed out little red flowers, sitting obediently in a row.
Ruan Yōu: “This is the first meteor shower of the year. Let’s add some ceremonial significance and make a wish?”
Meteors streaked across the night sky, one after another, falling towards the horizon as if their tails were about to drop off.
All nine people raised their heads, their eyes sparkling as they followed the meteors’ paths.
Ruan Yōu closed her eyes devoutly and made a wish.
【Wishing for Dad and Mom to always be healthy.】
【I hope my brother will be happy every day.】
【Wishing for her friends’ dreams to come true.】
【Finally, I hope that life would always remain this fulfilling.】
She has too many wishes, and she is too greedy. Even if meteor shower cannot guarantee the fulfillment of her wishes, she will make them come true.
Ruan Yōu cherished this moment.
When she was making her way in the entertainment industry, she had a sudden desire to watch a meteor shower. On that day, she didn’t have to work, so she made plans with Lu Ming. However, she had university classes and couldn’t make it.
Ruan Yōu went alone to set up a tent.
While setting it up, there were always people coming over to strike up conversations, asking if she needed help.
Others came in groups of two or three, and in that moment, Ruan Yōu felt a faint sense of loneliness and indescribable discomfort.
She checked her contact list.
Except for Lu Ming, she hadn’t opened up to anyone.
She could only eat her bread alone, have the barbecue that had already gone cold, and then wait for the night to fall.
Many people came that night.
When watching the meteor shower, everyone came out of their tents in groups, taking photos incessantly, with the flashlights flashing. Laughter and conversations never stopped.
She sat in the tent, quietly feeling the lively atmosphere around her, and watched the entire meteor shower alone.
At that time, someone said she was strange, didn’t like socializing, didn’t like talking to people, had no friends in the entertainment industry, and not even family. There must be something wrong with her.
In the past, she disliked everything, and her ultimate dream was to buy a small villa by the seaside and live a quiet and solitary life.
Now, everything around her was bustling.
Lu Xuan asked Lu Jin what wishes he made, and Lu Jin said he wouldn’t tell her.
Ruan Yōu felt inexplicably that the meteor shower wasn’t romantic, but their appearance when watching the meteor shower together was more romantic.
. . . . .
After watching the meteor shower and packing up the tent, it was already 1 a.m. when they returned home.
Everyone decided to stay at Gu’s family manor.
Ruan Yōu slowly got up and prepared for a new plan.
Three more factories for making snowman dolls were added, and they could quickly complete fifty million orders for a lottery. After that, they could sell the snowman dolls online at affordable prices.
This matter was all entrusted to Xia Shi to handle.
After returning home, Ruan Yōu began to plot a new plan.
The island she gave to Gu Fuchen was quite desolate. Other than a villa, basic utilities, and communication, there were some vegetable gardens she had planted, a long gallery, and nothing else.
It could be said that the former island owner had indeed achieved a reclusive life like a “paradise” in modern society.
Ruan Yōu didn’t plan to inhabit it.
She wanted to turn this place into an island related to her brother’s childhood dreams.
She planned to invest eight billion to build the island and turn it into a knowledge-based island promoting “astronomy.” The island will be a knowledge base for astronomy enthusiasts, with exhibits on all aspects of astronomy, including knowledge, history, and three-dimensional sculptures of the universe.
Her brother’s unrealized dreams had to be continued by someone.
The “Gui Can” plan began from here.
Gui Can, returning to brilliance1.
After announcing the plan, it caused a huge stir in the industry.
【Wow, isn’t this just burning money?】
【I could play for a lifetime with 80 billion in-game coins in ‘Dream Home’.】
【Your Majesty Empress Ruan is so arrogant every day.】
【Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard, Gu Fuchen is already showing off.】
Scrolling through these comments, someone had screenshotted a Weibo post.
【@GuFuchen: My fairy little sister, is fulfilling my unfulfilled childhood dream.】
【Why do some people always like to show off their sibling bond?】
【Ever since Ruan Chenchen set himself free, his internet surfing speed noticeably increased.】
When Gu Youqian and Ruan Liuyu saw this online, they were both taken aback.
They did know about their daughter gifting an island to their son, but they didn’t expect it was for this.
The two of them were socializing with others outside, and when they saw the news, they exchanged a smile.
Gu Youqian and Ruan Liuyu knew about Gu Fuchen’s childhood dreams related to astronomy and physics. Later, the family was immersed in grief, and he abandoned all of that. Ruan Liuyu and Gu Youqian were helpless, and on the day Gu Fuchen took over Bozhan, Gu Youqian asked him if he regretted it.
Gu Fuchen didn’t say a word, buttoned his suit tightly, walked into the meeting room, and embarked on his journey as the president of Bozhan.
At that moment, Gu Fuchen sent a text message to his fairy sister, Ruan Yōu.
【G: Yōuyōu, I no longer care about my childhood dream.】
【G: My dream now is that you start dating later.】
【Fat Cat: ….】
Ruan Yōu closed WeChat helplessly and stared at the scenery outside through the French windows in a daze.
I hope tomorrow will be another sunny day.
Both she and her brother had completely bid farewell to their past lives. Her brother could face the dreams he had abandoned with composure, and she could bid farewell to her past loneliness and embrace a new life.
Watching meteor showers might not be romantic, but what she cherished was一一
When she proposed watching the meteor shower, no matter how busy or occupied they were, they would respond to her immediately.
