Chapter 429: Chapter 429: She is Thinking About Their Future
Shen Zhao paused momentarily before shaking his head, “I’m not unhappy.”
She was simply pondering life seriously.
Having been in a slump for nearly twenty years, she still didn’t know what her future should look like.
“Shen Zhaozhao, how long have we known each other?” Sheng Chuyi asked.
“Naturally, as old as you are, that’s how long we’ve known each other.” What was the point of asking such a question?
Sheng Chuyi replied, “So you think I can’t even tell whether you’re happy or not?” If that were the case, he would be failing terribly as a boyfriend.
“I was wrong about before. I shouldn’t have neglected you because I was busy with the project. From now on, if you’re unhappy, just tell me directly. Also, you’re not allowed to do dangerous things anymore!” He didn’t want to hear about her getting hurt or being in danger again.
Shen Zhaozhao looked up into his eyes, “I mean it, I really am not unhappy, and I’m not mad at you.” Even if she were angry, she would be angry at herself.
“I’m just thinking about some things.”
“About what?” Sheng Chuyi asked.
She was thinking about their future, about their lives together.
Unfortunately, despite thinking for so many days, she still couldn’t figure anything out.
Shen Zhaozhao asked somewhat disheartenedly, “Yiyi, do you think I lack ambition?”
Sheng Chuyi hadn’t expected her to suddenly ask this. This girl had always been in good spirits, except when worrying about her homework; nothing else seemed to affect her mood. He liked her carefree, lighthearted demeanor, her optimism, and confidence. Seeing her made him feel like there was nothing in the world that couldn’t be solved.
No matter how tired or tough it got, just seeing her would lift his spirits.
Sheng Chuyi remarked, “From the moment I met you, you’ve been this way, and I think it’s perfect. I hope the future you can stay the same.”
The times are too impetuous, yet she has always managed to maintain her original intentions.
That was exactly what he wanted to protect.
Shen Zhaozhao asked, “So even if I choose to lay back and slack off for my whole life, you wouldn’t mind?”
Sheng Chuyi said, “As long as you’re happy, that’s fine. Don’t worry, even if there was one more of you, I could still provide for us.”
“What if there’s more than just one more of me?” Shen Zhaozhao murmured quietly.
“What did you say?”
