“Is this very unlike me?”
“Not really,” Qin Ge answered. “You’re a lot like how you were during the competition.”
“Then what kind of me do you prefer?”
“I like Xing Jiuan more,” Qin Ge answered without hesitation.
“Say what you want to say and do what you want. No matter what, I like everything about you.”
Xing Jiuan couldn’t help but smile. “That sounds like something out of an idol drama.”
“Then you must be my female lead.”
Qin Ge pushed her dirty braid with her hand. “Is this supermarket okay?”
Xing Jiuan looked outside. “Yeah.”
“Then I’ll find a place to park.”
…
When Lu Zhichen returned home, Old Master was sitting in the living room.
“What took you so long?”
Lu Zhichen walked over slowly. “Grandpa, is something wrong?”
“Yes, something very important.”
The Old Master was obviously in a bad mood. He looked at Lu Zhichen with displeasure.
“Your fiancée is gone.”
“There wasn’t one in the first place.”
“What a pity. She’s such an outstanding young lady. Let me tell you, if you miss out on her, she’ll really be gone.” The Old Master was heartbroken.
“If she’s gone, she’s gone. Grandpa, I’ve told you before not to arrange any marriage for me.”
“You arranged it yourself! Don’t accuse me.” The Old Master was unhappy.
“Since when did I…” Lu Zhichen suddenly remembered something.
When he was young, he met a little girl…
“Grandpa, what’s her name?”
“Xing Jiuan. You had even forgotten the name you gave her?” The Old Master looked at Lu Zhichen as if he was looking at a jerk.
Lu Zhichen lost his cool. “My… fiancée?”
Old Master Lu looked at him. “Not anymore…
“You were the one who held that little girl’s hand and made the agreement in the first place. That you’ll be engaged now and get married when you two grow up.
“Now, you’ve grown up. But you’ve lost your wife.”
The Old Master took out a piece of jade and handed it over. “This was your token of love. Take it.”
Lu Zhichen took it. It was a piece of jade that had a very good texture. It was his childhood peace jade talisman. It was warm and cool to the touch at the same time. It felt very comfortable.
He’d had it with him since he was ten, so he naturally remembered it very clearly.
“At first, I thought that since that girl will be turning twenty soon, she might be taken away by someone else if I don’t hurry and bring her back. I didn’t expect that not only would you want to end the engagement, but so would she…
“What a good predestined marriage, and yet it’s gone just like that.”
Lu Zhichen’s expression was complicated.
He touched the jade in his hand. “Grandpa, it’s late. You should go and rest.”
“I didn’t want to meddle in your affairs in the first place either.” The Old Master was a little angry. He stood up and prepared to return to his room.
Lu Zhichen sat on the sofa alone for a long time.
…
“That’s enough, Xing Jiuan. Eat less ice cream and buy more fruits.” Qin Ge could not bear it any longer as she watched Xing Jiuan scoop more and more ice cream.
“It’s summer now and it’s so hot.”
“There’s air-conditioning in the house. It’s not hot.”
“I want to eat.”
“One piece a day is enough for you to eat for a long time.”
“Not enough.” As Xing Jiuan spoke, she still wanted to take more. However, Qin Ge stopped her.
“Stop. That’s all the ice cream you get. Let’s go see some fruits.”
Xing Jiuan could only put down the ice cream reluctantly and followed Qin Ge to buy fruits.
It was already 10 PM. There were not many people in the supermarket, but it wasn’t empty.
A young lady who looked about the same age as Xing Jiuan walked over and asked, “Miss, are you a celebrity? Have you debuted?”
