Both of them had a full bowl each.

When it was time to pay, Shen Shichuan took out his wallet.

Xia Yangyang quickly stepped forward, saying, “I said I’d treat you, I can afford a bowl of beef noodles.”

Shen Shichuan smiled gently, put away his wallet, and did not compete with Xia Yangyang for the bill.

After finishing their meal, Shen Shichuan took Xia Yangyang to the props room at Time.

It was a large, huge storage room, almost like a props supermarket.

Rows and rows of shelves were filled with various props, both ancient and modern, everything you could possibly need was there.

Shen Shichuan helped Xia Yangyang with the selection and soon all the props were picked out.

Shen Shichuan got Zhou Fei and instructed him, “Help Miss Xia deliver these props to her school.”

Zhou Fei responded, “Sure thing, President.”

After that, Zhou Fei suddenly took out a small box and handed it to Shen Shichuan, “Oh yes, President, this was just delivered by Miss Manbing’s assistant.”

Xia Yangyang was standing right there at the time.

It was a small black box with a scenic design. When opened, it revealed a diamond-studded Rolex watch, with a note inside that read, “Happy birthday to my dearest brother.”

Shen Shichuan’s lips curved into a smile as he put away the watch.

Xia Yangyang was quite surprised, “Today’s your birthday?”

Shen Shichuan smiled warmly, “Yes.”

Xia Yangyang expressed her regret, “Had I known, I wouldn’t have treated you to just beef noodles. I should’ve treated you to something better.”

Shen Shichuan replied, “Having someone to eat with makes me quite satisfied already. Plus, isn’t it a tradition to eat noodles on one’s birthday? Yangyang, I was very happy today, thank you for accompanying me for lunch.”

Something about what Shen Shichuan said saddened Xia Yangyang.

Even though Shen Shichuan was high and mighty, he didn’t seem to have anyone to have a meal with.

She guessed he must’ve felt particularly lonely on his birthday, which is why he had seized the opportunity to eat with her.

Xia Yangyang didn’t quite know what to say, so she simply said, “If ever in the future you can’t find someone to dine with, feel free to find me. Even though I don’t have a lot of money for fancy restaurants, I know the tastiest snacks in this place.”

Shen Shichuan softly replied, “Alright.”

Xia Yangyang said goodbye, then left with Zhou Fei.

Throughout the drive, Zhou Fei kept glancing at Xia Yangyang through the rear-view mirror, a subtle smile on his face.

Xia Yangyang asked, “Secretary Zhou, what are you smiling at?”

Zhou Fei replied, “Apart from Miss Manbing, you are the first one to elicit such a gentle smile from the President.”

Xia Yangyang found it strange, as she always considered Shen Shichuan to be a very gentle person.

Xia Yangyang asked, “Why doesn’t the President have anyone to eat with on his birthday? Isn’t he too lonely?”

Zhou Fei almost burst into laughter, “The President received hundreds of congratulatory telegrams alone on his birthday today, not to mention phone calls and text messages. There are many people who wanted to treat him to a meal, but our president is simply too busy and has no time for such dinner parties.”

Xia Yangyang asked, “If he’s so busy, why did he go out to eat with me?”

“That’s why Miss Xia holds a special place in the President’s heart. Only for you, does the President make time to eat and help you find props,” Zhou Fei replied.

Our president is normally someone who values every second, but today he spent two whole hours to help you, Miss Xia, find props.

Xia Yangyang frowned at his words.

It was clearly her accompanying him for a meal, how did it become him accompanying her?

Even if Shen Shichuan held her as special, it could only be because of Gu Qichen’s influence.

Soon they arrived at the school.

Zhou Fei helped move all the props into the auditorium.

Wen Xiaochu and the others were stunned when they saw it, “Yangyang, where did you manage to get all these exquisite props and costumes?”
