A Night of Long-Awaited Reunion

"Maybe we should give this song to Tian Chuxi," a thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Yang's mind.

But the thought was fleeting and he immediately dismissed it.

Don't try to change the system's rules, don't go against the system. Just because the system says to give something to someone doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want. You think you're all grown up now, huh?

Zhang Yang composed himself and immediately dismissed some unrealistic ideas.

Then let's just give it to the right person.

Zhang Yang looked up at Ouyang Feifei on the stage, who seemed to be forcing a smile, and thought to himself.

The concert has finally ended.

Liao Kai was sullen, but Zhang Yang, seeing that the young man wasn't a bad person, pulled him aside for a cigarette.

"Thank you, cousin, but I won't smoke. Yu Meng definitely doesn't like boys smoking," Liao Kai said, glancing at Song Yumeng discreetly.

"Go ahead and smoke." Song Yumeng rolled her eyes, then looked at Zhang Yang, "Brother, I'm going home first tonight. You... I won't be a third wheel."

"Let's go. Send me a message when we get back to the hotel," Zhang Yang said with a smile and a wave.

My little cousin made a hand gesture, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and left the stadium directly.

Zhang Yang casually handed a cigarette to Liao Kai, and the two stood by the roadside, watching the fans leave as they puffed away.

"Cousin, tell me, how can I make Yu Meng fall for me?" Liao Kai asked abruptly, somewhat unwillingly.

"Why bother?" Zhang Yang glanced at Liao Kai, shook his head and laughed, "Mengmeng is picky about looks, and you're not her type, so don't waste your energy."

Liao Kai's chubby face froze for a moment.

"Then I'll change."

"Why try to please others?" Zhang Yang smiled. "Just be yourself, why force yourself?"

He patted Liao Kai on the shoulder.

"I have to go now, goodbye."

As he spoke, he walked to the florist's car not far away, took the flowers he had ordered from the car, and then went straight to his Cullinan.

Liao Kai stood there, stunned, for a long time, his eyes seemingly lost in thought.

··

Cullinan, the floral quilt is placed in the back seat.

Zhang Yang's phone was still busy.

On the other end of the phone, Tian Chuxi kept talking, her excitement barely contained.

"This is insane! Am I that popular? Why is there so much discussion about me everywhere? It's not even my territory."

"Zhang Yang, to be honest, what do you think of my performance tonight? What others think doesn't matter."

"Let me put it this way, the tickets for your concert tonight should be the most expensive outside," Zhang Yang laughed. "If you're too far away, people might mistake you for Taylor Swift."

"Really?!" Tian Chuxi exclaimed in surprise. "You're not just saying nice things to make me happy, are you?"

"I'm not the only one saying this, okay?" Zhang Yang said. "Let me ask you something, have you ever considered changing careers and developing a career in the music industry? I'm serious."

"I'll think about it." Tian Chuxi across from her let out a slightly smug chuckle.

It was late at night, and there were many people around, so Zhang Yang deliberately Cullinan to a secluded spot, parked the car, and waited.

After an unknown amount of time, a nanny van stopped some distance ahead.

A figure wrapped in a coat walked briskly towards the car.

"Have you been waiting long?" The car door opened, and a figure sat in the passenger seat.

It was Tian Chuxi.

She took off her hat, removed her mask, and then took off her late-night coat to keep warm, revealing her slender figure.

Then, she opened her arms wide and smiled broadly.

"Congratulate me quickly!"

"Congratulations! Your appearance was a success, the effect was amazing." Zhang Yang pulled Tian Chuxi into his arms, and casually took out the flowers he had prepared from the back seat. "Here, these are for you."

"What a surprise!" Tian Chuxi's eyes lit up, and she happily hugged the bouquet. "Where are we going later?"

"Let's go back to the hotel, where else can we go?" Zhang Yang laughed. "Not your place, let's go somewhere else."

"You're just trying to tan me, I'm a little hungry." Tian Chuxi tilted her head back and kissed me. "Shall we have a late-night snack? After we eat... um... you're so annoying."

She lightly patted Zhang Yang's unrestrainedly exploring hand, her body feeling a little weak.

Zhang Yang smiled and withdrew his hand.

Seeing Tian Chuxi, who had just been the center of attention and exuded endless charm on the concert stage, now leaning against him and giving him whatever he wanted, he naturally felt a little strange.

More captivating than lusting after her body is the psychological sense of accomplishment.

Now Zhang Yang understands the tastes of some wealthy men. What kind of beautiful women haven't they seen? Isn't what they want this feeling of completely conquering the idols who are high and mighty in the eyes of their fans?

"Okay, let's go get some late-night snacks then, but are you really sure you're okay with that?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

"It's alright, who would notice a customer having a late-night snack in the middle of the night?" Tian Chuxi laughed. "Besides, even if they do notice, it's not a big deal. I'm human too, can't I have a late-night snack with my friends?"

"That's good." Zhang Yang put down his phone and said.

He just browsed the reviews for a while and found a well-reviewed late-night snack shop nearby, which should only take about ten minutes to get there.

Later, on the streets of Tongzhou.

Outside a brightly lit late-night snack shop, the Cullinan sat quietly by the roadside.

Tian Chuxi, wrapped in a coat and wearing a mask, got out of the car with Zhang Yang.

The late-night snack shop was bustling with customers. The food, including wontons, noodles, and grilled barbecue, looked delicious and was perfect for a midnight snack. Even though Tian Chuxi was managing her figure, eating these things wouldn't be too much of a challenge for her.

"How about this one?" Zhang Yang asked Tian Chuxi for her opinion.

"Okay." Tian Chuxi, dressed conservatively, nodded gently.

The two sat in a corner of the shop, ordered two bowls of wontons and some grilled meat skewers, and waited.

The surroundings were noisy during the wait.

"Wow... Ouyang Feifei's concert tonight is absolutely amazing! I'm not talking about Ouyang Feifei, I'm talking about the guest performer, that... Tian Chuxi."

"Yeah, yeah, the effect was absolutely amazing! It gave me goosebumps! It was definitely worth the ticket price!"

Several tables of guests around were engaged in lively conversation.

At this hour, with the concert over and fans still excited, it's perfectly normal for them to go out for a late-night snack.

"I'm talking to you." Zhang Yang smiled as he looked at Tian Chuxi, who was sitting opposite him with her head down.

She seemed to be trying her best to keep her head down and hide her face, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips; she looked so smug.

"I had no idea it would have this effect." Tian Chuxi's cheeks flushed crimson, then she hesitated, as if she had suddenly remembered something. "Hey, do you think I'm overshadowing her? Ouyang Feifei..."

What she meant was that at someone else's wedding, a bridesmaid dressed to the nines overshadowed the bride.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Well... it might not be a bad thing," Zhang Yang said casually.

He still had a hugely popular song in his hands, one that was exclusively for Ouyang Feifei, and he planned to give it to her when the opportunity arose.

As for that song, he watched it himself.

Well, it's definitely catchy and full of trendy elements; it was impossible for it not to become a hit. Ouyang Feifei getting this song is a blessing in disguise; it's some consolation.

"Maybe I should say hello to her," Tian Chuxi muttered.

"Don't go there now, you know what people will think," Zhang Yang laughed. "Let's not talk about that, let's get some late-night snacks."

Two steaming bowls of wontons have been served.

There was also a plate of skewers, grilled to a golden brown and sprinkled with cumin powder. Because these skewers were grilled in an electric oven, they weren't smoky or greasy, making them just the right consistency.

"Mmm, delicious." Tian Chuxi took a bite of wonton, her eyes crinkling with satisfaction.

Zhang Yang also tried it, and yes, it tasted really good, quite delicious.

Of course, what's more important is that at this very moment, listening to the surrounding noise and enjoying the warmth of everyday life surpasses everything else.

The two chatted as they ate, with Tian Chuxi speaking softly the whole time. No one noticed that a certain guest next to them was the person they were discussing.

About half an hour later, after finishing their meal, the two walked out of the late-night snack shop.

The night was slightly chilly. Tian Chuxi wrapped her coat tighter around herself and stood side by side with Zhang Yang under the streetlights in the cold winter. Their breath turned into mist in the cold air.

"Zhang Yang, where do you live?" She looked up at the tall figure beside her.

"It's not far, just in the next city," Zhang Yang said, pointing in a direction. "Would you like to come visit me?"

"Is this convenient?" Tian Chuxi asked with a smile. "Won't it bother you?"

"You're welcome anytime." Zhang Yang smiled and put his arm around Tian Chuxi's waist. "You should really give yourself a long vacation."

With the Spring Festival approaching, Tian Chuxi has been busy all year and can be considered quite dedicated. She's taking advantage of this time before the holiday to give herself a good break and reward herself for a year of hard work.

Tian Chuxi nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

"Let's go, let's take care of business first." Zhang Yang opened the car door and looked at Tian Chuxi.

Tian Chuxi rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang, then lowered her head and got into the car.

As night fell, Zhang Yang led Tian Chuxi straight to a five-star hotel in Tongzhou, not the one Tian Chuxi was staying at.

There are bound to be a lot of paparazzi and fans staking out that hotel. It would be bad if any scandals got leaked, especially since Tian Chuxi is currently at the peak of her career. It's best to avoid any scandals.

Later that evening, Zhang Yang first checked into the hotel and then sent a message to Tian Chuxi.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as Zhang Yang opened the door, Tian Chuxi lowered her head and slipped inside, sneaking in like a thief.

"I almost got questioned, but luckily I kept my eyes straight ahead and went straight to the elevator, and they didn't make me register." Tian Chuxi took off her mask, lightly touching her chest, still looking a little shaken. "Hey, tell me, I haven't done anything wrong, why am I so guilty?"

"Haven't done anything wrong yet?" Zhang Yang laughed. "After Tian Chuxi's concert, she went to a hotel at night and apparently didn't return home overnight. Aren't you afraid of this news breaking?"

"You're so annoying," Tian Chuxi said softly, then tiptoed up and wrapped her arms around Zhang Yang's neck to kiss him. "Whatever, if I die, I die."

The two kissed and cuddled together as they walked into the bathroom.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night of long-awaited reunions and resounding gunfire.

··

At four or five in the morning, Zhang Yang opened his eyes and looked at the figure that had clung to him the night before but was now curled up in his arms like a sheep. His eyes were a little dazed.

Recalling the playful and sweet heroines Tian Chuxi played in some of her dramas, and then looking at her now, there's a slightly strange feeling.

After all, the contrast between her on-screen and off-screen personas is so stark.

On stage, he is the focus of everyone's attention, but off stage, he is struggling with himself.

As the man who indulged in Tian Chuxi's boundless tenderness, Zhang Yang felt incredibly satisfied, not only physically but also spiritually.

"Wake up." Zhang Yang gently patted Tian Chuxi's face.

"Hmm..." Tian Chuxi stirred slightly in Zhang Yang's arms, still half asleep, and continued to sleep.

"What time is it? Your management team probably didn't sleep all night." Zhang Yang looked at the figure with exposed white shoulders in his arms with amusement, and simply reached out to try to wake her up completely.

Before long, Tian Chuxi was tickled so much in Zhang Yang's arms that she couldn't fall asleep anymore.

"So sleepy... Oh no... It itches." She kept dodging, and finally simply hid herself completely under the covers and disappeared.

"I told you to get up, where are you? What are you doing down there... ouch." Zhang Yang's words were cut short as he suddenly opened his eyes wide, lay on his back on the bed staring at the ceiling, speechless.

Around six o'clock, after washing up, the two tiptoed out of the hotel room.

Tian Chuxi's face was still flushed, and she felt a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from the inside out.

"Wait for me. Let me finish handing over things to the team first, then we'll go back together," she said, seemingly still wanting more.

"I saw your concert last night was trending on social media. Shouldn't we capitalize on this?" Zhang Yang asked curiously, waving his phone. "Look, it's already in the top ten."

"That won't interfere with my vacation." Tian Chuxi affectionately hooked her arm around Zhang Yang's.

Tian Chuxi had already said so, Zhang Yang naturally had no other objections.

Besides, it doesn't necessarily require Tian Chuxi herself to capitalize on this trend; her team can also further amplify the topic.

Well then... let the bullets fly a little longer, it's not too late.

A short while later, the two went directly to the garage to get their car and then drove straight to the hotel where Tian Chuxi had initially stayed.

More than half an hour later, in the hotel's underground parking garage:

Zhang Yang drove around the hotel's underground parking garage for a long time. After confirming that everything was in the right place, he let Tian Chuxi get out of the car by herself first.

She was dressed conservatively, head down, and quickly walked towards the nearest elevator.

Zhang Yang watched Tian Chuxi leave, and after a while, he leisurely got out of the car and headed for the elevator, preparing to return to his suite.

At this time of day, the hotel is extremely quiet.

The executive suite floor was completely empty and eerily quiet.

Zhang Yang was naturally refreshed and extremely clear-headed at this moment. He wasn't in a hurry to have breakfast at this time, so he decided to sit in the garden outside the hotel terrace for a while and enjoy the morning breeze.

I'll wake my little cousin up in a bit and we can have breakfast together.
