Chapter 174

At Ziyue Manor.

Shen Yin couldn't fall asleep, and neither could Xu Xiuhe. One felt regretful, thinking she shouldn't have been drinking tea so late at night.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Xu Xiuhe also regretted drinking the tea by his bedside so late at night, leaving them both unusually awake.

In the past they could've done other things, but now with Shen Yin's special condition, all they could do was stare at the ceiling blankly.

"Can't sleep?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"Mmm, can't sleep."

"Then shall we watch a movie?"

"Sure."

Xu Xiuhe got up and adjusted the projector by the bed, which he had barely used before.

"What shall we watch?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"The Little Prince," said Shen Yin. She had wanted to see it before, but had been too busy recently to find the time.

Xu Xiuhe found The Little Prince movie on his phone and began projecting it.

Just as they set up the equipment, the sound of thunder rolled outside.

"I wonder if Zhengzheng will be scared of the thunder," Shen Yin said worriedly, hearing the faint rumbles.

"Nah, the house is well sound-proofed. When it was built, they added insulation in the walls, so we can only hear it faintly. He's asleep, so he probably can't hear it at all."

"Have you read the book The Little Prince before?" Shen Yin asked.

"I think I read it when I was little. I still have some impression of it. The book was written by Saint-Exupéry for his wife."

"Is it a love story?"

"It's a children's novel. The little prince travels to another planet and experiences all sorts of adventures. The little prince grows up along the way, meets many little companions. So he's not lonely anymore. He sees the world through a child's perspective, celebrating the beauty of humanity."

"The visuals of this movie are so beautiful. And there's a lot of philosophy in it," Shen Yin mused.

"Yeah, love is the sweetest subjection between two people. Just like us," Xu Xiuhe said.

"I may not say sweet nothings, but I'll show it through my actions." Xu Xiuhe hugged Shen Yin.

After the movie ended, Shen Yin was still savoring it.

Hearing what Xu Xiuhe said, she suddenly sat up and turned to say, "You can't say sweet nothings?"

"Why aren't you nervous this time?" Shen Yin asked.

"Because I believe in you. I've seen your skills, you'll always be the champion in my heart."

"And Zhengzheng is also a champion."

The national embroidery competition naturally gathered the top experts, so even the competition venue was much bigger than the one in Rong City.

At the venue, Shen Yin unexpectedly saw Qi Yan. She didn't understand why Qi Yan would come here too.

Shen Yin turned to look at Xu Xiuhe, who was also stunned for a moment. So there really were people who wouldn't let go, huh.

"Why is she here?"

"Probably just here to watch the competition," Xu Xiuhe said.

Just like last time, Shen Yin took her position.

The competition venue was quite noisy, with the top three from five regional competitions across the country present, making 15 contestants in total.

The top three winners would not only receive monetary rewards, but more importantly, prestige.

Their embroidery craft might not be as famous in other circles where everyone would know the big names, but within this circle, having a reputation meant not having to worry about the future and having good prospects.

The host went over the rules and revealed the contest theme. There would still be a two-hour break at noon as usual.

Shen Yin wasn't worried at all. With an inner strength, she would fear nothing.

Next to Shen Yin were the second and third place winners from the regional competition in Rong City last time. Shen Yin remembered them, though she hadn't memorized their names back then. But now, she knew.

Each contestant's table had a name card, which was how she also found out why Qi Yan was here.

It was because the woman sitting next to her, who also had the surname Qi, was called Qi Shengwen.

The Qi surname wasn't very common, and even more coincidentally, this woman named Qi Shengwen happened to be related to Qi Shengwu, who was Qi Yan's father from the previous competition in Rong City.

She saw the name and found it very familiar. After thinking for a while, she remembered the person, Qi Shengwu.

This explains the relationship between Qi Yan and Qi Shengwu.

Shen Yin noticed it, and the intelligent Xu Xiuhe also saw it.

"Dad, Mom's competing."

"Yes, Mom's competing, and she'll win the championship."

Qi Yan, who was a few seats away from the father and son, suddenly spoke up: "It's too early to say who will win the championship."

The woman's gaze was fierce as she glanced towards Zhengzheng.
