Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy-Chapter 73

He chuckled, "What's so special about snow in Peking City?"

He drove up the mountain, stopping the car with the headlights on.

Xiang-Nuan checked the time again. It was 11:50 PM.

Shen Yanshi unloaded the fireworks.

"Let's set them off here."

He was about to light them when Xiang-Nuan stopped him, "No, it's not New Year yet. We still have seven minutes!"

"You're quite the stickler for time."

"Let's wait. We have to set them off at the stroke of midnight, or the wishes won't come true."

Shen Yanshi looked at the snowflakes in her hair, "Then let's wait in the car."

"No, we have to set them off exactly at midnight. We only have three minutes left. If we go back to the car, we might not make it in time."

Shen Yanshi: "..."

Why does she have so many quirks?

The hillside was high, but the wind and snow were strong. She stuffed her hands into her pockets, burying her face in her scarf.

Shen Yanshi pulled up the hood of her down jacket to cover her head.

She checked her phone again. It was 11:59 PM.

Her eyes sparkled, "Half a minute left."

She counted down the seconds on her phone, "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, quick, light it!"

Shen Yanshi lit the fireworks.

With a "bang, bang," the fireworks burst into the dark night sky.

At the same time, fireworks rose in the distant sky, creating a symphony of explosions.

Shen Yanshi turned to look at her. She had already clasped her hands together, making a wish with a devout expression.

He chuckled softly.

Xiang-Nuan opened her eyes, happily asking him, "Did you make a wish?"

"Yes."

"You definitely didn't."

"What did you wish for?"

"If I tell you, it won't come true."

She looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the night sky, smiling contentedly.

He watched her rosy profile and suddenly called her, "Xiang-Nuan."

"Yes?"

She turned to look at him, her eyes still filled with the dazzling starlight.

"Happy New Year."

Xiang-Nuan was momentarily stunned.

Their fireworks had finished, but the distant fireworks continued to bloom, filling the sky from their vantage point.

Xiang-Nuan was reluctant to leave.

"Let's go, or we'll freeze."

He pulled her into the car and drove down the mountain.

It would take another half hour to get back to her hotel. The car was warm, and she soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

When they arrived at the hotel, Shen Yanshi called her, "We're here."

She didn't respond.

"Xiang-Nuan?"

Still no response.

He noticed her face was even redder. He reached out to touch her forehead—it was burning hot.

His expression changed. She had a fever.

He got out of the car, carried her from the passenger seat, and went straight into the hotel. He booked a suite and asked the front desk for some fever medicine.

In the room, he laid her on the bed, fed her the medicine, and wiped her face with a wet towel.

He didn't hold back his strength, "You're always so tough, pretending to be fine. Next time, you'll freeze to death on the mountain."

Her face was as red as a ripe peach, burning hot, and she mumbled something.

"What are you saying?" he asked.

She mumbled indistinctly, "Shen Yanshi."

His eyes flickered, and he leaned in closer, "Hmm?"
