"Oh? So she really did have something to ask for your help with."
Du Mengying's voice came through the receiver, lightly falling into Jin Hanshuang's ear, making her unconsciously think of Lu Yunshu's appearance when she asked for help.
Oh... what a pitiful little one.
She turned over and picked up her phone, "So she really is a decent person. You shouldn't make wild guesses anymore, your thinking is a bit narrow."
She never thought Lu Yunshu was interested in her, and after Lu Yunshu's official confirmation, she was even more certain.
That's right.
How could Lu Yunshu like her?
The Lu family and the Shen family had very little interaction, and their interactions were even less, so where was the opportunity to develop feelings and have a crush?
She was also seven years older than Lu Yunshu, quite a significant difference.
She had many lovers, while Lu Yunshu seemed very devoted.
And besides her good looks, she couldn't help Lu Yunshu with anything.
These wealthy people, with their big families and businesses, didn't they all like to find useful partners who could help each other?
Her late husband was like that.
She was useful to him, and he was useful to her, so they got married.
Lu Yunshu might have pure love for others, but not for her.
She couldn't imagine it. They were too far apart in many ways... so Lu Yunshu couldn't possibly like her, absolutely not.
The kid called her "Sister" out of politeness, she couldn't take it too seriously.
Du Mengying's voice sounded in her ear, "Alright, alright, I'm narrow-minded."
Then curiously asked, "So what did she ask you to help with?"
The Lu family and the Shen family didn't get along.
Lu Yunshu and Jin Hanshuang were originally unrelated, so what could Lu Yunshu ask Jin Hanshuang for help with?
Could it be she wanted to reconcile with Shen Wenxin through Jin Hanshuang?
Curious, she was really curious.
But Jin Hanshuang blocked her with one sentence, "It's a small matter, but I have to keep the child's secret, so I won't tell you~"
This wasn't something that needed to be told to Shen Wenxin, nor to anyone else.
Du Mengying: "Tsk, you're so annoying."
Jin Hanshuang: "Haha."
She turned to look at the deep night outside the window, "We'll talk about it another time."
.......
Lu Yunshu sat cross-legged in the chair, drying her hair.
Her phone was on the table beside her, and her friend's voice came through it.
Her friend said:
"Ew-you're so devious."
Lu Yunshu chuckled but didn't respond.
After expressing her disdain, Le You found the situation... well, quite interesting.
Having the person you like teach you how to pursue someone, tsk tsk, only Lu Yunshu could come up with that.
Le You curiously asked, "I mean, how did you dare to make that request? What if she refused... wouldn't that be super awkward for you two?"
Lu Yunshu frowned slightly.
She paused her hair-drying, put down the towel, and her calm voice gently fell, "I didn't think about it."
She didn't think about the consequences, didn't think about being rejected.
She couldn't bear to think about it.
She just couldn't help but hope that Jin Hanshuang wouldn't reject her.
Fortunately, fate was kind, and so was Jin Hanshuang.
"She's very kind."
Mentioning Jin Hanshuang, Lu Yunshu's eyes softened.
Lu Yunshu lowered her gaze, memories flooding her mind, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips.
"Yes, she's really wonderful."
If Jin Hanshuang weren't kind, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask for her contact information back then.
Yes, it was Jin Hanshuang who had asked for her contact information.
"So what's your next plan?" Le You asked.
"I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet," Lu Yunshu said, "Maybe I'll have it figured out by tomorrow."
She fell into deep thought.
.......
The next evening, Jin Hanshuang received a call from Lu Yunshu.
The little one had come to ask the teacher a question.
"President Lu, just got off work?"
Jin Hanshuang politely inquired, her voice lazy.
"Yes."
"President Lu, you must be tired."
"It's my duty."
"Is there something you need?"
"I wanted to ask your opinion on something."
"What is it?"
Lu Yunshu carefully spoke the words she had prepared earlier, "I want to give her a gift. What do you think I should give?"
Jin Hanshuang almost immediately thought of it, "Didn't you say she works in fashion? Think along those lines, catering to her interests is always a safe bet."
"...Jewelry?" Lu Yunshu asked.
"Sure," Jin Hanshuang replied with a smile, "Looking at beautiful jewelry can always lift one's spirits."
At least, that's how it was for her.
That was her simplest joy.
Hearing the slight smile in Jin Hanshuang's voice, Lu Yunshu felt inspired. She quietly turned and took out a white velvet box from a nearby drawer.
Inside was a pair of asymmetrical silver crescent tassel earrings.
The uniquely designed earrings lay silently under the bright light, their luster gentle, like a galaxy pouring down, unparalleled in beauty.
These were earrings she had specially designed for Jin Hanshuang, and she had just received the finished product recently, unique and one of a kind.
She had always wanted to give them to Jin Hanshuang but had no reason to.
Hearing Jin Hanshuang's words just now, she felt a stirring desire.
She stared at the earrings for a while, then gently put them down.
"I know what to do now. Thank you, Sister."
The mature voice from the receiver sounded particularly gentle and well-behaved.
Jin Hanshuang bit into a piece of fruit, but before she could respond, she heard the next sentence, "I'll go pick it out now."
Very proactive.
Jin Hanshuang: "Hmm, go ahead."
Lu Yunshu: "Don't hang up yet."
Jin Hanshuang first responded with a puzzled "Hmm?" and then calmly said "Hmm," the change was quick.
Lu Yunshu probably wanted to show her a photo for her opinion.
With nothing else to do, she could play the role of a fashion consultant and see how the kid's taste was.
Curiously, she opened the photo and saw a pair of earrings.
Silver, asymmetrical, crescent tassels, very beautiful, perfectly matching her taste.
The other party had taken several photos of the earrings, which came in handy.
She deliberately waited a while before sending them to Jin Hanshuang, like a late student circling outside the classroom, trying to make her entrance seem more natural.
She heard a soft gasp through the earphones.
"So beautiful," Jin Hanshuang's voice said, "I like this."
Irregular, beautiful, dazzling, all her favorites.
"If you're choosing a gift, I vote for this one!"
The clear affection in her tone eased Lu Yunshu's nervous heart.
Lu Yunshu let out a very light sigh of relief, a cheerful smile lifting her lips, her eyes bright-wonderful.
"Alright, this will be the gift."
The call ended.
Lu Yunshu picked up the earring box, looked at it again and again, then gently put it down, unable to resist sharing this moment of joy with Le You.
She sent the picture she had sent to Jin Hanshuang to Le You again: [She likes these earrings, really likes them.]
Jin Hanshuang's slightly surprised voice seemed to linger in her ear, her undisguised affection for this gesture making her incredibly happy.
She didn't waste her efforts.
It seemed she had won a bit of her favor.
After a while, Le You replied: [Not bad, it was worth getting someone to design it!
[Are you going to give it to her directly?]
[Lu Yunshu]: I don't know
[Le You]: ?
[Lu Yunshu]: She's helping me choose a gift for the person I like
[Le You]: ...
[Le You]: Wait, let me get this straight, you mean she thinks these earrings are for the person you like?
[Lu Yunshu]: Yes
[Le You]: So if you give them to her directly, it would be like confessing?
[Lu Yunshu]: Yes
[Le You]: But you specifically prepared this gift for her
[Lu Yunshu]: Yes
[Le You]: ...
Le You couldn't help but clap in front of the screen.
Brilliant, it was the first time she had seen such a mind-bending romance.
Lu Yunshu opened the voice message from Le You, and a sentence floated out: "I wish you happiness, my friend."
