Qiao Jiuyin naturally did not have any strange reaction. After all, she was not Qiao Jiusheng!

  Ji Qing looked at ‘Qi Yunsheng’ opposite her again. When she saw her burying her head in a low mood, she changed the topic.

  Everyone happily chatted when they did not hear anyone talking to them. Fang Yusheng was a little puzzled.

  If he could see it, he would discover that Qiao Jiusheng, who was sitting beside him, was in a very strange mood. Her left hand, which was under the table, was trembling; her eyes were filled with pain and confusion.

  After lunch ended, the group had other plans in the afternoon. However, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly grabbed Fang Yusheng and said, “I’m tired. Let’s go back.”


  Fang Yusheng could tell from her tone that she was really uncomfortable.

  Without any objections, he bade farewell to the rest of them and pulled Qiao Jiusheng out of the parade. After getting into the car, Fang Yusheng was about to ask her where she was feeling unwell. However, he felt a weight on his shoulder.

  Qiao Jiusheng leaned her head on his shoulder.

  Fang Yusheng immediately stopped moving, afraid that he would disturb her.

  “Ah Sheng, where are you feeling unwell?” he asked in a gentle voice.

  Qiao Jiusheng moved her head. Her hair swept across Fang Yusheng’s neck. Fang Yusheng felt a little itchy, but he could not bear to let her remove her hand.

  Qiao Jiusheng said in a muffled voice, “My chest feels a little uncomfortable. Let me lean on you for a while.”


  “Okay.”


  The car exited the scenic area and slowly drove along the mountain road.

  After a while, the head leaning on Fang Yusheng’s shoulder suddenly moved. Fang Yusheng then heard Qiao Jiusheng ask in a muffled voice, “We’re in the city?”


  “Yes.” Qi Bufan replied instead.

  Qiao Jiusheng immediately sat up straight and said, “To Ten Li Incense.”


  When the weight on his shoulder suddenly disappeared, Fang Yusheng felt regretful. “What for?”


  “There’s something I need to do.” Qiao Jiusheng did not elaborate on what happened.

  The car stopped in the underground parking lot. Qiao Jiusheng was about to open the car door and leave when Fang Yusheng suddenly asked her, “You weren’t feeling well previously. Are you feeling better now?”


  Actually, Qiao Jiusheng was still a little uncomfortable.

  When she fell silent, Fang Yusheng understood it.

  He said to Qi Bufan, “Go buy a cup of hot cocoa .”


  Qi Bufan took some change from the car and went to buy the drink.

  After a while, he returned with a cup of hot cocoa.

  “Here, Sir. It’s hot.”


  “Yes.” Fang Yusheng took the hot cocoa and handed it to Qiao Jiusheng. “When you’re feeling unwell, you’ll feel better after drinking something hot.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was not a fan of the idea.

  However, she looked down at the hot cocoa and finally reached out to take it. Then, she whispered to Fang Yusheng, “Thank you.”


  “Let’s get out of the car.”


  The two of them got out of the car.

  Perhaps because Fang Yusheng had given her hot cocoa, when the two of them went upstairs to shop, Qiao Jiusheng held Fang Yusheng’s arm. She was very considerate. However, she always remembered that Fang Yusheng had a sweet heart and never took the initiative to hold her hand.

  Fang Yusheng felt a little regretful.

  If only he knew, he wouldn’t have acted like that in the first place.

  When Qiao Jiusheng pulled him into the men’s clothing section, Fang Yusheng understood that she was referring to buying clothes for him.

  Qiao Jiusheng was the one who had drunk the hot cocoa, but Fang Yusheng felt his heart turn warm.

  Qiao Jiusheng chose warm coats and down jackets that were suitable for winter outings. The colors were plain, but they were Fang Yusheng’s favorite colors. Fang Yusheng swiped his card with a smile.

  When he returned home with his clothes, he asked Aunt Jin to pack up his clothes from the past winter. From now on, he would wear the clothes Qiao Jiusheng had bought for him.

  Aunt Jin smiled and went upstairs to pack the clothes.

  Qiao Jiusheng was a little thirsty. She asked Fang Yusheng if he wanted some freshly squeezed fruit juice.

  “Nah, I’ll have tea.”


  “Oh!”


  She squeezed herself a cup of mixed fruit juice.

  Carrying the fruit juice to the sofa, she sat down. Qiao Jiusheng drank the fruit juice as she watched television. Fang Yusheng could not see, so he accompanied her. Qiao Jiusheng noticed that his right index finger was tapping the rhythm on his right leg. She suddenly thought of the dream last night.

  “Did I have a nightmare last night?”


  Fang Yusheng stopped beating.

  He nodded.

  Qiao Jiusheng asked again, “Did you sing for me?”


  Fang Yusheng seemed a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and covered his mouth to cough, then answered, “Yes.”


  Qiao Jiusheng moved closer to him. She asked, “What tune were you humming? It’s quite nice.” When she had been eating in the morning, she had searched her mind for a long time. However, she had found nothing.

  Fang Yusheng remained silent.

  He turned his head to the other side, in the direction of the window.

  The person beside her had suddenly fallen silent. Qiao Jiusheng felt that she was being too talkative. She touched her nose and silently moved away from Fang Yusheng. At this moment, she heard Fang Yusheng sigh. “Your memory is really bad.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was certain that she could hear grievances in Fang Yusheng’s tone.
