The man’s fingers were slender and fair, and the two scars seemed to be deeply embedded in his knuckles. At the same time, they also stung Qin Shu’s heart.

  Fu Tingyu felt the girl’s gaze fall on his hand. He subconsciously released the mouse and clenched his fist.

  Qin Shu saw the man’s action and reached out to grab the man’s hand. She held it closer to her eyes and looked at the burn on his fair knuckles. Although it was a small injury, her heart ached terribly.

  She looked up at him. “How did you get burned here?”


  “The cigarette. I forgot to throw the cigarette away,” Fu Tingyu answered concisely.

  “Then didn’t you feel the burn?”


  The mark had a dark color. One could tell that he was burned for quite a while before he realized it.

  When she held his finger, she felt it was a little rough. When she turned it over, she realized that there was also a burn mark on his fingertip. The color was lighter than the ones on his knuckles.

  She didn’t know what to say. He was a grown man, yet he managed to get burned like this.

  Fu Tingyu said, “With Bao’er’s heart aching, mine won’t hurt anymore.”


  Qin Shu glared at him. “All you do is sweet talk.”


  After saying that, she let go of his hand, turned around, and walked out of the study room quickly.

  Fu Tingyu looked at the girl’s back, puzzled. Was she angry?

  Not long after, he saw the girl walk in quickly with the scar removal cream in her hand. He had seen it before and only now did he understand why the girl had suddenly left.

  Qin Shu took the scar removal cream and walked to the desk. She opened it and picked up the hand on the desk again. She dipped her finger into the scar removal cream and applied it evenly to his wound.

  Fu Tingyu looked at the girl’s serious expression. As she applied the scar removal cream, her lips pouted slightly as if she was in a fit of pique.

  Qin Shu glanced at Fu Tingyu and said in an unfriendly tone, “The next time I see your hand get hurt, I’ll……”


  Fu Tingyu asked, “You’ll what?”


  “Wherever you get hurt, I’ll injure the same area on my body.” Qin Shu’s tone was full of threat.

  Only by saying this would he be more careful in the future.

  Hearing that the girl was going to hurt herself, Fu Tingyu’s heart tightened. He grabbed the girl’s wrist and said with a hint of anger in his voice, “Don’t you dare.”


  In the past, she was afraid of Fu Tingyu. Especially when he was angry, his gaze made people shudder.

  Qin Shu relied on the fact that her man doted on her. This time, she was brave and said back, “I dare.”


  Fu Tingyu was stunned.

  There was a few seconds of silence.

  Qin Shu said, “If you care for me, then don’t let yourself get hurt.”


  Fu Tingyu looked at her without saying a word.

  Would she dare?

  If she really hurt herself, the one in pain would still be him.

  Qin Shu applied the scar removal cream on all the burns. His hands were so beautiful, and they looked even better when he played the piano. So they definitely couldn’t have a scar or get hurt.

  She liked to listen to him play the piano, and she also liked to watch him play the piano.

  After she had finished applying the scar removal cream, she closed the lid. “You continue with your work. I won’t disturb you anymore.”


  Qin Shu tidied up then turned to walk out of the study room. She closed the door behind her after stepping out.

  Fu Tingyu watched the girl close the door and leave. He glanced at the fruit on the desk and then lowered his eyes. His sight fell on his long and slender fingers. The place where the cream was applied felt nice and cool.

  The college entrance examination is in less than half a month. Qin Shu used all her free time helping Ye Xue review and study.

  Sometimes, Qin Shu would also account for Yu Xue’s diet plan.

  With the pressure of dieting and studying, Ye Xue became visibly thinner.

  Her round cheeks gradually reduced to that of an oval shape, and her double chin also disappeared.

  Even her chubby little hands became much thinner.
