“Boss, I want to discuss something with you,” Shen Yiyi said carefully in the car back to the hotel. She was sitting beside Lin Zexi.

“Speak.”

Lin Zexi was busy playing Honor of Kings* with his friends.

*Honor of Kings=A multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game 

“My family is in Shenzhen… I want to go home for a bit,” she said quietly. 

She had checked his schedule, after the concert, he had two days off, just enough for her to make a short trip home.

“How many days?” Lin Zexi asked, clearly displeased.

Huang Kankan was already on leave, and now she was also asking for time off. 

Shen Yiyi carefully observed Lin Zexi’s expression and said softly, “Boss… just two days. My dad isn’t home, there’s no one at home, I need to go back and check on things… maybe clean a bit.”

“Shen Yiyi, if you leave, who’s going to cook for me? Hmm?” Lin Zexi raised an eyebrow.

“Boss, you can order takeout, or call the housekeeper,” Shen Yiyi replied seriously, her eyes curved slightly as she spoke.

Lin Zexi looked at her and said calmly, “Shen Yiyi, you’ve stayed at my villa in Hangzhou, and you’ve stayed at my place in Shanghai. I even took you to eat famous Shanghai cuisine. Now that I’ve come to Guangzhou, don’t you think you should show me some local hospitality?”

This was the first time Shen Yiyi had heard Lin Zexi speak so much at once. And strangely… what he said did make sense.

Helpless, she nodded.

Shen Yiyi’s home was located at the foot of Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen. 

Twenty years ago, her father had bought a piece of land there and built a house on it. 

Because her father was an architect and her mother a landscape designer, the house had a very unique and beautiful design, it had even been featured on television before.

During the day, Lin Zexi handled a lot of work. 

After dinner, Shen Yiyi packed both her own luggage and his, and gave the driver her home address.

Following the navigation, the car drove all the way to her house.

When they arrived, Shen Yiyi glanced at her phone, it was already past 9 p.m.

“Boss, this is my home,” Shen Yiyi said proudly, pointing at the house in front of them.

Lin Zexi stood at the gate and took a look.

It was a two-story villa with large floor-to-ceiling windows and an asymmetrical architectural design, at first glance, it was clearly the work of a top designer.

Shen Yiyi entered the password at the gate, and the door opened automatically.

As they stepped inside, a large courtyard came into view, with a small pavilion in the center.

“Boss, this is our yard. It used to be full of plants and flowers,” Shen Yiyi said, pointing at the now overgrown garden.

“Why did you stop planting them?” Lin Zexi asked, scanning the space.

“After my mom passed away, no one took care of it anymore. I was busy with school, so I only came back on weekends to water them. Slowly… the plants all died,” she said quietly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Lin Zexi stood behind her, his eyes darkening slightly.

“Do you hate your parents?” Lin Zexi asked lightly.

“No,” Shen Yiyi replied without hesitation. 

“My parents are doing well now. My dad used to be very busy with work, he’d only come home two or three times a month, sometimes even once every few months. My mom must have been lonely raising me alone. My dad needed to earn money for the family, and my mom needed companionship. They both had their own difficulties.”

She looked up at the moon, a faint trace of regret in her voice.

“You’re surprisingly open-minded,” Lin Zexi said, a little surprised by her answer. 

Following her gaze, he looked up at the bright moon. 

A flicker of light reflected in his eyes, glimpsed briefly from the second-floor window of Shen Yiyi’s house, before disappearing just as quickly.

“I just hope they can live happily,” Shen Yiyi said softly. “Not become more unhappy because of me.”

Lin Zexi looked at her, slightly stunned.

Shen Yiyi walked briskly to the entrance and entered the password. The door clicked open automatically.

As she stepped inside, she reached out to turn on the light, but suddenly, Lin Zexi grabbed her hand.

The atmosphere instantly turned tense.
