Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Strolling Down the Road on a Date
Sheng Tang has always been mingling in the entertainment industry.
She knows many wealthy businessmen and famous political figures, but she has never known someone involved in scientific research.
It seems that people in that field are often very quiet and focused, not liking noise and chaos.
Just like Gu Shiting.
"That’s really impressive," Sheng Tang sighed softly, "I never thought about becoming a scientist."
When she was in elementary school, some of her classmates did dream of becoming scientists.
But as they grew up, fewer and fewer of her classmates mentioned "scientist" when talking about their dreams.
It’s probably because of the rapid economic development of the whole society; people can make money in all kinds of professions, while doing scientific research is both lonely and exhausting, and may not necessarily be profitable.
Money signifies a person’s social status.
Young people are ambitious; who can endure such loneliness and poverty?
However, those things don’t matter to Gu Shiting.
His social status has already been established by his family; no matter what he does, the inheritance rights behind him entail an unimaginable wealth for ordinary people.
Moreover, he loves peace and quiet and has a strong dedication to research.
Sheng Tang thought that the days Gu Shiting spent in the lab, wearing a white coat, must be especially comfortable for him, like a fish in water.
"Work hard, Ting!" Sheng Tang squeezed his hand.
Gu Shiting asked her, "What about you? Do you still want to be an actress?"
"Yes." Sheng Tang smiled, "I like the life under the spotlight, and I don’t have the patience for anything else. In this aspect, we’re completely opposite."
"Being opposite is not bad, we complement each other," Gu Shiting said.
Sheng Tang: "..."
The two of them talked late into the night.
The next day, after having breakfast, Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting were ready to go to the popular street.
Miss Gu kept her word this time and didn’t bother them anymore.
When she wasn’t being a big third wheel, Gu Shiting found his sister could be quite agreeable and not so annoying after all.
He and Sheng Tang changed clothes and went out.
The weather was clear; today’s highest temperature was 22 degrees. Sheng Tang wore a sweater and a skirt, and left the house with Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting had specifically brought along a jacket.
In case it got cold, he could put it on for Sheng Tang.
Spring weather can change rapidly.
When they arrived at the popular street, they saw that the roses were indeed in full bloom, dazzling like fire.
An entire row of floral walls stretched from one end of the street to the other, a splendid sight to behold.
The street was packed with people. It was the weekend, and the crowd was bustling, with everyone taking pictures.
Sheng Tang held onto Gu Shiting’s hand.
"There are so many people; do you still want to go over?" Sheng Tang was concerned for him.
Gu Shiting, however, was quite brave: "I’m fine, let’s go. Let’s also take a few photos, okay?"
Sheng Tang nodded.
However, the beautiful spots were all occupied by people.
As they walked, they could hardly find any gaps, and the morning sun was a little hot, causing Sheng Tang to break out in a light sweat.
She said to Gu Shiting, "There’s a small shop over there, let’s go buy some water to drink."
The two walked onto a side street.
Sheng Tang was worried that someone might bump into Gu Shiting, and also concerned about running into the unsavory characters from the Sheng family’s old residence, staying vigilant the entire way.
Next to the small shop, there was also a milk tea store that sold various handmade ice creams.
Sheng Tang got excited.
"How about getting a cone of ice cream?" she asked Gu Shiting.
Gu Shiting naturally agreed.
He went to pay and ordered two.
The female clerk glanced at Gu Shiting, then at Sheng Tang, thinking that this young couple looked really good together.
Sheng Tang’s ice cream was ready first.
Gu Shiting’s was ready, too. He took it in his hand but didn’t eat it first. Instead, he handed it to Sheng Tang: "Take a bite."
The tip of the ice cream seemed like it might have tasted different. He wanted Sheng Tang to have the best part first.
Sheng Tang couldn’t help but laugh and took a bite as he wished, exaggeratingly saying, "Delicious!"
