Are we developing too fast?

"Starting a business?"

Li Shihan felt a bit disappointed, but more than that, she was surprised: "What are you planning to do?"

She didn't know if Zhou Feiyu had understood what she had just said, but regardless, Zhou Feiyu wouldn't come to Peng City for her. This blind date would likely end without a conclusion.

Although Li Shihan hadn't held much hope for this blind date from the start, Zhou Feiyu gave her the impression of being steady, enthusiastic, honest, and reliable, without any ulterior motives. He was undoubtedly a relatively good blind date candidate.

Zhou Feiyu not coming to Peng City for her naturally made her feel disappointed. What girl wouldn't want to be actively and passionately pursued? It was a reflection of her own charm!

But she quickly calmed this emotion and began to become curious about Zhou Feiyu's entrepreneurial venture.

Li Shihan pressed on: "At home, your salary is already very high. Why are you taking the risk to start a business? These past few years, brick-and-mortar stores have become increasingly difficult to run; they've all been taken down by e-commerce."

Zhou Feiyu smiled faintly: "Don't laugh when I tell you, but I feel the time is right, and if I don't venture out, I feel I'm letting myself down, after all, I'm still young. And those brick-and-mortar stores you mentioned that were taken down by e-commerce, I don't think much of them at all. They were just one distributor after another. E-commerce, e-commerce, it's just moving the store online. The things they sell still have to be produced by real industries. Without real industrial production, what would they have to sell? My business is about doing real industry."

Li Shihan was even more surprised, looking at him with a look of astonishment: "So you're going to open a factory."

In her heart and eyes, a different kind of emotion suddenly flickered.

Someone who could open a factory, even a small one with just a few people, was seen as remarkable by others, possessing great strength. This strength included not only financial resources but also connections and courage.

"Yes, but it's just the very beginning, it's nothing yet."

Zhou Feiyu neither boasted nor was overly humble, simply stating it lightly. He didn't want to discuss this topic too much before it was successful.

Immediately, he changed the subject and asked: "Do your two cousins both live with you in Peng City? What kind of work do they do?"

Li Shihan knew he didn't want to say more, so she suppressed her curiosity and replied: "Yes, they both live with me. My older cousin, Li Shiyu, works as a buyer in a company; my younger cousin, Li Shixin, is currently in the live streaming field."

Zhou Feiyu asked curiously: "Live streaming? Is she the one doing the live streaming?"

Every so often, the popular trends in society are different.

In the past, e-commerce was the trend, creating countless wealth myths; later, mobile phones were the trend, creating mobile phone empires; now, live streaming and short videos are the trend, and countless people are rushing into this field.

But in real life, live streaming is still quite rare, enough to make him curious.

Li Shihan shook her head: "No, she doesn't live stream. She works behind the scenes in management, responsible for operations, promotion, and managing streamers."

"That's impressive!"

Zhou Feiyu exclaimed, then asked with interest: "What kind of live streams are they mainly? Talent or something else?"

Li Shihan smiled: "She's quite capable. Although she's only nineteen this year and graduated from a vocational school, she's been smart since she was little, and she's bold and articulate. It's not talent live streaming, it's live streaming for sales."

Zhou Feiyu smiled: "I'll have to take a good look someday."

He actually wasn't interested in live streaming and never paid attention to it, but the current social trend was live streaming and the influencer economy. Since someone around him was involved in this industry, he could take some time to pay attention to it; perhaps it would be useful in the future.

It was extremely rare; this was the first time Zhou Feiyu could chat with a girl for so long, and there was no awkwardness between him and Li Shihan. Even when there was a brief lack of topic, the two quickly and coincidentally moved on to other topics, continuing to express their thoughts.

At first, Zhou Feiyu thought it was because he had relaxed, but when he walked into the cinema and started watching the movie, he sat down and thought calmly, suddenly feeling that Li Shihan was very smart.

One word could describe Li Shihan: understanding.

Li Shihan was very good at taking care of his emotions. If he didn't want to talk about something, Li Shihan wouldn't force him, and her expression was that warm, relaxed smile; if he wanted to talk about something, Li Shihan wouldn't deliberately cater to him, but would listen and converse appropriately, so that he wouldn't be overly complacent or feel disappointed.

On the giant IMAX screen, the Hollywood special effects blockbuster Ready Player One was playing. The deafening roar of machinery echoed throughout the entire cinema. The male protagonist was leading the female protagonist through danger, both thrilling and exciting, and filled with enviable affection and love.

"I'm planning to go back tonight."

When the male and female protagonists exited the virtual reality game and returned to reality, and everything returned to calm, Zhou Feiyu leaned his body to the right, approached Li Shihan, and whispered.

Li Shihan's body stiffened. She was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the popcorn also paused. She replied, "Oh!" Her expression was very calm.

Zhou Feiyu was also a little disappointed; this was a normal reaction.

He sat up straight again and continued watching the movie.

As everything continued, and Zhou Feiyu began to immerse himself in the movie plot, his right hand suddenly felt warm. A warm, jade-like hand rested on it.

Zhou Feiyu was startled, and then a strong feeling of pleasure surged into his heart. His face immediately filled with smiles. He subconsciously turned over his right hand and then tightly held that warm, jade-like hand.

The warm, jade-like hand did not pull away but was obediently held by his right hand, their fingers intertwined.

Glancing over, using the light from the screen, he saw that Li Shihan's face was slightly flushed at this moment. She was watching the movie screen without moving, not even blinking.

Clearly, making this gesture seemed to have exhausted all of Li Shihan's strength.

Zhou Feiyu's heart pounded. He heard the strong beating of his own heart, and through that warm, jade-like hand, he also heard Li Shihan's heartbeat. Their heartbeats seemed to be in sync, beating uniformly.

A faint fragrance wafted from Li Shihan to Zhou Feiyu's nose. An unprecedented feeling that made him feel refreshed and happy lingered between Li Shihan and him.

Silence was more eloquent than words at this moment!

Zhou Feiyu even had a thought: Should I just stay in Peng City?

Time spent immersed in beautiful emotions always flies by.

Clap!

Zhou Feiyu felt as if only a moment had passed, and the movie ended. The sound of the main lights turning on filled the cinema, instantly illuminating the entire place as if it were daytime.

"I should go back."

Li Shihan suddenly stood up, wanting to leave first. Her left hand also intended to break free from Zhou Feiyu's right hand. She felt that she had acted impulsively just now; they had only known each other for two days.

"I'll see you out."

Zhou Feiyu quickly stood up. His right hand, which he had originally intended to loosen, suddenly tightened again.

Hmm, this is a natural reaction. Her 'resistance' stimulated my rebellious psychology. It's not that I don't want to let go.

Zhou Feiyu thought this.

The result that followed was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Feiyu. Li Shihan, who he had thought would struggle to free her hand again, did not struggle anymore. After he tightened his grip, he pulled gently, and Li Shihan obediently let him lead her. She followed behind him without speaking, just silently following him, letting him lead her through the crowd.

They walked out of the cinema and onto the street, their hands still tightly clasped together. They looked just like a young couple in love.

"Zhou Feiyu, are we moving too fast?"

Li Shihan bit her lip, looking at Zhou Feiyu and speaking softly.

"What?"

Zhou Feiyu smiled, preparing to speak.

A surprised voice came from behind them, interrupting him: "You're Zhou Feiyu? Why are you in Peng City?"
