As she slept, Qin Shu felt as though she was being held in a warm embrace.
It felt very familiar. Even in her dreamlands, she knew that Fu Tingyu was the one holding her.
The man whose love for her had pervaded his bones.
It had most likely been too much of a work out for her, for she slept like a baby.
Her eyes were weighed down with lead, she couldnât open them no matter how hard she tried.
The deep sense of security that caught her off guard made her sleep soundly.

The next day.
Qin Shu opened her eyes and glanced at the ginkgo tree next to the balcony. Wind chimes were hanging everywhere from it. They rang sweetly in the wind.
She froze for a few seconds.
She finally realized that she was in her bedroom in Bright Garden and not a hotel room.
Qin Shu lifted the quilt and walked to the balcony. She stood at the edge of the balcony and glanced at the ginkgo tree. The ginkgo tree was real, it was not an illusion.
There were no hummingbirds on the wind chimes.
How did he know that she liked ginkgo trees? She had never told him about it.
What Qin Shu didnât know was that this ginkgo tree had been cultivated by Fu Tingyu over many years.
It was different from other ginkgo trees. This ginkgo tree had luxuriant branches and leaves. The leaves were always golden.
It had been transplanted the day before.
Qin Shu turned around and saw nineteen porcelain dolls on the counter, arranged in order from small to large.
He had not met her when she was a child. Yet, he could craft it so accurately. He was truly amazing.
Qin Shu rushed downstairs after washing up. She wanted to have breakfast with the man, but she was a step too late.
It was early in the morning and yet, and he was already at the office
â
â
Qin Shu lugged her school bag to her seat and sat down. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a huge pile of gift packages behind Fu Tingyan.
Behind Jiang Yu, presents had also piled into a mountain.
It was 520 that day, a day perfect for confessions. Is was also a very special day.
Suddenly, Qin Ya came over with several beautiful gift boxes.
âSister, today is 520. I received a lot of gifts, so I brought some for you.â
Qin Ya acted like a good sister. In actuality, she was here to show off and curry favor with her at the same time. She wanted the scar removal ointment without spending the money herself.
Qin Shu glanced at the gift box on the desk and said in an indifferently, âOther people gave it to you and yet, you brought it to me. Itâs not very good. After all, itâs a representation of their feelings. If you re-gift it to someone else, ignorant people will assume that you donât like these gifts.â
Qin Yaâs smug smile froze. âHow can I dislike these gifts? We are sisters, for...â
Qin Shu interrupted her immediately. âThen you should also like the owner of the gift. Have you already chosen one of them to be your boyfriend? I wonder who is the lucky one?â
Yang Wei walked over and grabbed Qin Yaâs hand when he heard that. He spoke sadly, âLittle Ya, do you really have a boyfriend in mind?â
Yang Wei was the son of a rich family. He quite handsome, and his love for Qin Ya had reached the point of obsession.
The money he spent on Qin Ya exceeded a million.
Qin Ya hurriedly explained, âYang Wei, I...â
Qin Shu interrupted Qin Ya once more. âYang Wei, donât be sad. Qin Ya can only choose one man as her boyfriend. I canât let you guys chase after her all the time. Those who donât know her will assume that she is deliberately clinging onto you guys and playing with your feelings.â
Yang Wei asked sadly, âLittle Ya, who did you choose as your boyfriend?â
Qin Yaâs expression became very unsightly. She couldnât answer Yang Weiâs question because he obviously wasnât going to be her boyfriend.
