Yao Yefang's cooking was quite good. Although it couldn't compete with the chefs at ho in terms of flavor, it tasted much more delicious here than at his own place.
"Uncle, soon I will transfer the signing bonus into Xinyu's account so you can settle the debts first. As for the rest, if you have the energy, you can continue your previous business. If not, maybe consider investing; I can find soone to help you," Fang Jueyu said, as everyone at the dining table chatted like family.
"Haha, I'm not that old yet! Those forr partners are all my old friends. As long as there's funding, I can save more for Xinyu's dowry!" Guo Shu laughed. He was becoming increasingly fond of Fang Jueyu.
He didn't have any of the typical rich-kid bad habits and had a pretty nice character. In the eyes of Guo Shu and Yao Yefang, if they could get together, it would be a match made in heaven.
"Dad! You're at it again!" Guo Shu's repeated teasing nearly made Guo Xinyu want to crawl under the table.
The group chatted and laughed until nine o'clock, and it was ti for Fang Jueyu to leave since Guo Xinyu's younger brother was still young and needed to rest early.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'll head out now. You can start packing, and in a couple of days, you can move over. I'll notify my assistant to send soone to help you," Fang Jueyu said as he stood up and ruffled Guo Junyu's hair. "Junyu, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be an astronaut!" Guo Junyu replied without hesitation.
"Great! As long as you study hard, I'll build a big spaceship for you soday and send you into space!"
For others, this might just be a bit of teasing with a kid, but Fang Jueyu had the ability to build a spaceship. The knowledge stored in Xiao Yi's database was enough for him to create a spaceship far beyond the current era!
"Xinyu, aren't you going to see off Xiao Fang?" Yao Yefang nodded toward Guo Xinyu.
"Oh," Guo Xinyu stood up, "I'll walk you out!"
"Okay!" Fang Jueyu didn't refuse. He enjoyed being alone with Guo Xinyu.
As the two walked out, Guo Xinyu's parents imdiately sat close and whispered to each other.
"Honey, what do you think of young Xiao Fang?" Yao Yefang asked eagerly.
"Hey!" Guo Shu sighed and shook his head.
"What? You don't like him?" Yao Yefang was a bit surprised.
"No, he's too good!" Guo Shu said, "I know what you an, but I'm afraid our Xinyu isn't good enough for him!"
Nowadays, girls look for partners with cars and houses, but how many understand what ans being well-matched? As a scholar, Guo Shu knew the importance of this well.
"What are you saying? How is our Xinyu lacking?" Yao Yefang said indignantly, "Besides, I don't think Xiao Fang is that kind of person. Can't you see that he's interested in our Xinyu too?"
"Of course, I can see it, and I also saw our daughter sneakily kiss Xiao Fang this morning!" Guo Shu felt a bit uneasy thinking about how the cabbage he had raised for over twenty years was just casually taken.
"Ah, let them handle their young people's affairs. We shouldn't worry!"
...
Fang Jueyu and Guo Xinyu walked shoulder-to-shoulder in the dark alley. Suddenly, the atmosphere beca awkward, and neither spoke a word.
"You..." Unconsciously, they both seed to have sothing to say.
"You first!" Fang Jueyu offered.
"Um, about my dad's matter, thank you."
"That's it? Just a small thing!" Fang Jueyu chuckled. "I thought you wanted to ntion sothing else!"
"Huh?" Guo Xinyu could guess the "sothing else" Fang Jueyu referred to, and she imdiately began to play dumb.
"By the way, here's a gift for you!" Fang Jueyu suddenly took out his phone and opened a file.
"What is it?" Guo Xinyu's curiosity piqued as she leaned in.
"A song, I wrote it, for you," Fang Jueyu shalessly claid. In truth, the song was written through the powerful capabilities of Xiao Yi, and even just the opening prelude almost made him swoon.
"You can write songs?" Guo Xinyu looked at him skeptically.
"Why? Looking down on ?" Fang Jueyu retorted defiantly. "When I was in eighth grade, I passed the highest amateur level in both piano and violin. If I had pursued it further, I would have several international awards by now, don't you think?"
"Yeah right!" Guo Xinyu wasn't so easily fooled with her music studies background.
"I've completed the composition; this is the lyrics. You can give it a try!" Fang Jueyu opened the lyrics file.
"Are you testing my sight-singing skills?" Guo Xinyu snatched the phone. Such a challenge was right up her alley since sight-singing was her strong suit!
She played the accompanint, and the prelude, a piano and violin duet, instantly exemplified what it ant to be captivating. As she looked at the sheet music, she softly started singing the lyrics.
The song told a story, capturing the beauty of youth, the bittersweetness of secret crushes, the pain of farewells, and the joy of reunions. It didn't use extravagant words but expressed each emotion just right. Guo Xinyu was convinced that this song would absolutely beco a hit online!
"Did you really write this?" Guo Xinyu was still a bit skeptical. How could soone without emotional experiences write such a song? Fang Jueyu was just in his early twenties; where would he have gotten such experience?
"Of course, I wrote it. Since you are now a singer under my company, consider this my gift to you. Practice the song well; with your talent, I'm sure you'll sing it beautifully. Then we can find a professional studio to record it. It'll definitely help you gain a lot of popularity!" Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
"You could find soone better than to sing it!" Guo Xinyu wasn't very confident in herself. At her school, there were plenty of people with better vocal skills, and many would willingly sing this song if offered to a famous singer.
"No way! This is written specifically for you, and only you can sing it!" Fang Jueyu suddenly beca a bit overbearing. "If you feel you can't sing it well, that's fine. I'll help you find a teacher, and when you feel ready, we can record it!"
"I won't let you down!" Guo Xinyu was easily touched, and for a mont, her eyes beca a bit moist.
"Then I'll give you a gift too!" Guo Xinyu took a deep breath, and if the light were brighter, one could see her chest heaving with intense emotions.
"What is it?"
"Co closer!" Guo Xinyu said.
Fang Jueyu leaned his head closer. "Can I see it now?"
"Smooch!" Guo Xinyu pecked his cheek like a dragonfly lightly touching water, then quickly turned and ran toward ho.
Fang Jueyu revealed a sly smile as if his plan had succeeded. He touched the spot on his cheek where he was kissed, grinning like a fool.
"Hmph, look at you, getting so happy over sothing so small? You, the host, are utterly hopeless!" Xiao Yi's voice chid in at an inopportune mont.
"If you call 'Dad,' I'll tell you a secret!"
"??? Xiao Yi? When did you beco like this?" Fang Jueyu's expression turned sour, as if he had tasted sothing foul. Had Xiao Yi been consuming too much from Weibo?
"In your dreams! I have my dignity!"
"Then I won't tell you what Guo Xinyu did to you while you were asleep this morning!"
"Dad!"
"Good son," Xiao Yi replied in an extrely infuriating tone.
"Can you tell now?" Fang Jueyu demanded fiercely. "If it's not sothing worth knowing, I'll kill myself, leaving you without a host!"
"Here, see for yourself!" Xiao Yi projected the scene directly onto Fang Jueyu's retina.
"Is... is this real?"
"Dad wouldn't lie to you!"
Fang Jueyu ignored Xiao Yi's remarks. No wonder Guo Xinyu seed so mysterious when he woke up this morning. It turned out she had kissed him while he was asleep!
"Son, go for it and get her!"
"Shut up!"
