  So all these years, his eyes have relied on medical treatment to last until now?

  Chao Yan put down his hand and changed the topic. “When do you plan to

  return to Jiangcheng?”


  “I booked a flight ticket for tomorrow.” Qin Shu glanced at the lake in front of

  her again and said, “I came at a bad time. The view will be more beautiful

  during spring.”


  Chao Yan said, “It snows in winter, and the scenery is also very beautiful.

  However, there are no signs of snow in the ancient City of Wind and Moon

  these few days.”


  Xiao Jiu hugged Boss and asked curiously, “Uncle Chao Yan, will the lake be

  frozen after it snows in winter? Will it be safe to walk?”


  Chao Yan smiled and replied, “Yes, walking on the ice is not a problem.”


  Xiao Jiu felt a little regretful. “It’s a pity that I can’t see.”


  Chao Yan said, “Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future.”


  “Okay.” Xiao Jiu nodded her head vigorously, but in her heart, she thought

  about the outdoor swimming pool in the backyard. If it were man-made ice,

  there should be no issues.

  Chao Yan turned his head and looked at Qin Shu. “Aren’t you going to West

  Rock to find Fu Tingyu?”


  The surprise in Qin Shu’s eyes vanished in an instant. Knowing that she had

  come to Nan Yue, it was not strange for him to know that Fu Tingyu had gone

  to West Rock.

  Xiao Jiu sniffed and ran to Qin Shu’s side with Boss in her arms. she asked her,

  “Mommy, are we going to find Daddy?”


  Qin Shu looked down at her son. “Do you want to go?”


  Xiao Jiu said very seriously, “I want to go and play, but the more important

  question is whether Mommy misses Daddy.”


  Qin Shu was almost amused by Xiao Jiu’s words. She clearly wanted to go, yet

  still asked if she missed Fu Tingyu?

  At this time, Chao Yan also said, “You can consider bringing along Xiao Jiu to

  have fun. It will also be a good opportunity to broaden her horizons.”


  Hearing this, Qin shu thought for a while and said, “Then let’s give Daddy a

  Surprise?

  “Okay, Daddy will definitely be very happy,” Xiao Jiu said with great certainty.

  Qin Shu turned her head to look at Ye Luo, who was not far away. “Ye Luo,

  please cancel the plane ticket for tomorrow and book tickets to Xiyan instead.

  “Okay.” Ye Luo fished out his phone and began to rebook the tickets.

  In the evening, Chao Yan brought Qin Shu and Xiao Jiu to a hotel in the ancient

  City of Wind and Moon for dinner.

  There were only the three of them at the table. Chao Yan ordered a lot of dishes

  based on Qin Shu and Xiao Jiu’s preferences.

  At the dining table, Xiao Jiu resembled Fu Tingyu. She picked up her

  chopsticks, ate and barely spoke.

  Chao Yan lowered his head and slowly ate his dinner. He had no intention to

  speak.

  Qin Shu casually chewed on her food and glanced at Chao Yan sitting opposite

  her. After a long time, he still hadn’t spoken, so she took the initiative to ask,

  “Aren’t you going to say anything?”


  “What? Chao Yan stopped chewing and raised his head.

  Qin Shu said, “Aren’t you going to talk about the past?”


  Chao Yan said, “Tell me, how did you pursue me?”


  Qin Shu’s face darkened.

  Chao Yan laughed twice. “I was joking”


  Qin Shu lowered her head and ate a mouthful of rice, chewing with all her

  might.

  Chao Yan seemed to have heard the grinding of her teeth, so he said, “Ever

  since you fell, you often came down from there. You even specially tied a rope

  to the crooked tree to make it convenient for you to go back and forth.”


  Qin Shu stopped grinding her teeth and raised her head to look at him, waiting

  for him to continue.

  “In a week, you will come down three times. Each time, you will bring some

  food and play. But I still ignored you and treated you like air.”


  “You persisted for abouta month, and I endured for a month. It was the first

  time I meta girl like you. Perhaps I was really annoyed and had a reaction for

  the first time.”


  There would be a second time if there was a first time, and then there would be

  countless times.

  From being lifeless to being reborn, it was a long process of trying. And during

  this process, Qin Shu stayed by his side.

  Why did his family leave him alone in this remote village?

  This was what she was most puzzled about.

  Looking at Chao Yan, although she was curious and puzzled, she did not ask

  him in the end, afraid to touch the most untouchable part of his heart.

  After Chao Yan said this, he didn’t say anything else.

  However, Qin Shu felt that Chao Yan still had a lot of things that he hadn’t said.

  For example, what she had said to him and what she had promised him.

  He didn’t mention a single word.

  After dinner, they went to the night market by the moat.

  Not only were there delicious food in the night market, there were also all

  kinds of novel crafts, most of which were handmade.

  There was never a shortage of tourists here.

  It was Xiao Jiu’s first time going to the night market. She ran excitedly with

  Boss throughout the whole trip. She took anything she found novel and

  interesting. Ye Luo followed behind to pay. It was very similar to how the

  Young Master of ancient times went shopping while servants followed behind

  to pay.

  Qin Shu knew that Chao Yan could not see, so when she walked, she grabbed

  his sleeve. His sleeve was very big, making it very convenient to grab. She

  walked ahead to prevent him from falling or tripping.

  Chao Yan said, “When I was young, you held my hand and walked.”


  Qin Shu smiled and replied, “Well, as you said, that was the past. Now that Ive

  grown up, of course, I have to change the way.”


  Chao Yan sighed, “You were cuter when you were young.”


  Qin Shu retorted, “You weren’t so good at playing the victim when you were

  young, were you?

  Chao Yan smiled and said, “Playing the victim is also a skill. Of course, you

  have to train from a young age to be able to reach perfection.”


  “. Qin Shu said. “You are unbelievable.”


  Chao Yan laughed and said, “You flatter me. I knew you’d always fall for this.”


  Qin Shu was speechless.

  The only person who could tease her so naturally, so confidently, and so

  shamelessly was probably Chao Yan.

  Chao Yan suddenly called out, “Baby.”


  Qin Shu asked unhappily, “What?”


  Chao Yan asked in a low voice, “Can I hug you?”


  “No.” Qin Shu refused without hesitation.

  “Just take it as granting me a wish. If I die like this, I won’t have any regrets,”


  Chao Yan said in a joking tone.

  “You have been cured, so don’t try to earn my pity,” Qin Shu said without

  turning her head.

  I’m not trying to earn your pity. I don’t know if I can survive the next spring.

  Will I still be able to see the warmth of spring and your smile as bright as the

  sun?

  Chao Yan opened his mouth, but he didn’t say a word.

  Qin Shu stopped in front of a stall that sold hand-woven garlands. She picked

  up a garland that was woven with Chao Yan’s flowers and said to Chao Yan,

  This purple garland looks very nice.”


  The stall’s lady boss welcomed him with a smile. “It’s only 200 dollars. If this

  beautiful lady likes it, please buy one. She is beautiful and will surely look good

  wearing it.”


  She said this whenever all the time, regardless of whether the person was ugly

  or beautiful. However, she was sincere this time.

  Qin Shu looked at the garland in her hand and said, “It’s too expensive. Even if

  this it was made of fresh flower, it won’t cost 200 dollars.”


  The lady boss smiled and said, “I think the beautiful woman really likes it. Il

  give you a discount of 20 dollars. How about it?”


  Qin Shu said, “100 dollars, and I’l buy it.”


  The lady boss looked troubled. “Beauty, that’s too little. How about 150

  dollars?

  Chao Yan listened to her and thought the bargaining was interesting……
