Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Charging Forward for Love

"Sorry, I went to sleep right after getting home last night and only just saw your message."

The next morning, while having breakfast, Shen Siyuan received Jiang Taoshi’s message.

"It’s okay, rest is most important."

Shen Siyuan casually replied, deciding to try out things with Ruan Hongzhuang, thus extinguishing his pursuit of Jiang Taoshi.

Just as he was about to put away his phone, another message popped up on WeChat.

"Boyfriend, good morning."

Shen Siyuan nearly spat out his breakfast.

"Who greets someone like that?" Shen Siyuan.

"Then how should I?" Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Just ’good morning’ is fine." Shen Siyuan.

"Good morning." Good morning.

"That works."

The two chatted late into last night, and although they hadn’t met face-to-face, their relationship seemed to have become more intimate.

"You haven’t told me good morning yet."

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Good morning." Shen Siyuan could only send this to her.

Her blunt way of romancing, honestly, was a bit funny but also endearing.

"I posted on Moments."

"Oh."

"Oh? Frowning.jpg."

"Do you need me to like it?" Shen Siyuan tentatively asked.

"I rarely post on Moments," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Thus, Shen Siyuan immediately opened her Moments and found only a lonely new post from the morning.

A casually taken photo of the rising sun, accompanied by text.

"With a breeze on my face, the early sun brightens the sky."

A simple phrase, but it seemed to capture an exhilarating feeling.

That’s how one would feel that the breeze was warm and the sunlight was pleasant.

Shen Siyuan liked the post and even left a comment: "Time is still young, and the sunlight is still warm."

His comment had just been posted when he saw another comment and a like appear on Ruan Hongzhuang’s post.

Only mutual friends can see each other’s likes and comments.

Jiang Taoshi was the only mutual friend between Shen Siyuan and Ruan Hongzhuang.

Her comment was straightforward.

"Wow, boss, seems like you’re in a good mood today?"

But immediately following, another comment appeared, clearly by Jiang Taoshi who had seen Shen Siyuan’s reply.

"Something’s off, very off..."

"Let me formally introduce you, my boyfriend Shen Siyuan." Shen Siyuan saw Ruan Hongzhuang’s reply.

"What’s going on, am I still not fully awake? I need to wash my face."

"Hurry up to work, don’t be late again."

"Sister, is now really the time to be saying this? I just took a nap, and you’ve already got a boyfriend?"

...

The two of them ended up chatting in the comments section of the post.

Since Shen Siyuan only had the two as mutual friends, he could only see their conversation.

However, Ruan Hongzhuang and Jiang Taoshi shared many mutual friends, including Jiang Wenxin.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s WeChat was exploding.

It might be because it’s her first time in love, making her somewhat overexcited, eager to announce to the world that she had a boyfriend, or perhaps it’s just her personality, disdainful of hiding her emotions.

"Ruan Ruan is just that kind of person," Granny Su provided the answer to Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan had just come downstairs in the morning and saw Granny Su waiting downstairs, clearly, she knew about his relationship with Ruan Hongzhuang.

When Shen Siyuan first saw her, he felt a bit awkward. Before parting last night, he had firmly believed they weren’t right for each other, yet in the blink of an eye, they had become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Granny Su is a very understanding person and didn’t mock Shen Siyuan for this.

Instead, she happily thanked Shen Siyuan.

"No matter if there’s regret or pain in the future, Ruan Ruan needs a relationship. Of course, what I hope most is that you both can grow old together and spend a lifetime with each other."

Granny Su’s views somewhat resemble those of Ruan Hongzhuang.

It’s said that finding a match is hard; Ruan Hongzhuang is already twenty-eight, an age when one usually considers marriage.

However, on one hand, due to her personality, there are very few boys that can touch her heart.

On the other hand, she is too outstanding, and there are few boys who can match up to her.

"What’s going on? What’s happening?"

Jiang Taoshi, having skipped breakfast, rushed into the office with messy hair.

She widened her eyes, looking at Ruan Hongzhuang sitting behind the boss’s desk, holding a coffee, looking composed.

"What do you mean what’s going on? Just as you see, I think he is not bad, and he thinks I am okay, so we decided to try dating," Ruan Hongzhuang said casually, sipping her coffee.

But the slightly upturned corner of her mouth didn’t seem as indifferent as her facade suggested.

"That was too fast? I just slept one night and my huge boyfriend is gone? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t compete with me?"

Jiang Taoshi thought about the text message from last night.

"If he’s yours, that’s called snatching, if not, how can it be snatching?" Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"You have a point," Jiang Taoshi said instinctively.

But then she realized.

"What the hell, that’s way too fast."

"If I’m not fast, he would pursue you."

"What do you mean?"

"Just what it sounds like, he said he has a good feeling about you and wants to try dating you..."

Jiang Taoshi looked dumbfounded, sister, are these things supposed to be said directly to my face?

"I asked him, what he thinks about me?"

"He said it’s good, but he feels that we might not be a very good fit, probably because he thinks I’m too assertive." Ruan Hongzhuang clearly understood the meaning behind Shen Siyuan’s words.

"Since that’s the case, how come you are together then?"

"Not together, just trying to date first."

Jiang Taoshi heard this and was very dissatisfied, "He clearly liked me, how could he suddenly start liking you?"

"He didn’t like you, he just thought you were fine, and he thinks I am good too, just that you might suit him more," Ruan Hongzhuang corrected her.

She didn’t like that remark, what does liking you mean?

"Fine, let’s not talk about this, how did you end up dating?"

"I said why not try dating to see if we’re suitable? He thought it made sense, so we decided to try..."

Jiang Taoshi didn’t even know what to say back.

She just stared at Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang felt a bit uneasy being stared at, as if she owed her something, and then softly asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

Jiang Taoshi shook her head, she had rushed over and hadn’t had time for breakfast.

Ruan Hongzhuang pulled open a drawer and handed a piece of bread over.

Jiang Taoshi took it, sighing, "You’re decisive in everything, I didn’t expect you to be so decisive in matters of the heart."

She wasn’t angry or sad about her boyfriend being taken, she even felt happy for Ruan Hongzhuang.

After all, she and Shen Siyuan had just met for the first time and were still strangers, now she just didn’t know how to explain this to Jiang Wenxin.

"But I don’t understand, what about him attracts you so urgently?"

While tearing open the bread bag, Jiang Taoshi asked curiously.

"Eh, isn’t this wrong?"

"What’s wrong?"

"This bread is expired."

"Oh~"

"And wasn’t this the one I gave you last time?"

"Was it? Maybe, it’s been in the drawer for a while."

Suddenly, Jiang Taoshi felt that something was off in their conversation, feeling as if they weren’t really talking about the bread.
