The boss gave her an 'OK' sign and quickly cut her hair into a shoulder-length bob, dyeing it black. When he was done, the boss couldn't help but wink: "Jasmine, this... is quite fashionable. It's instantly classier."

Eyebrows of varying shades, bright eyes, a straight and beautiful nose, and a rosy little mouth.

Xihe stood up and smoothed her short hair in front of the mirror: "I think it's good too."

After paying and leaving the hair salon, she immediately bought two sets of clothes and a pair of sneakers. At 10:00 PM, she accepted Shen Changan's invitation to have dinner together. She walked up to him in a cotton and linen long skirt and extended her hand: "Let me introduce myself again. My name is Xia Moli."

Shen Changan stood up in a hurry: "Hello, hello, my name is Shen Changan."

The summer afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunlight poured down from the treetops, falling on the young man's hair and shoulders. The two sat opposite each other, Xihe lowered her head to stir her milk tea, ignoring the glances that Shen Changan cast at her from time to time.

Shen Changan opened his mouth, he had a lot of questions to ask, but he was afraid of making her angry.

"I ordered your favorite eight-treasure pineapple rice. Is there anything else you want to order?"

"Well, let's order some Naxi barbecue. Don't you like this?"

"You know?"

Shen Changan's voice rose slightly.

Xihe raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "Yeah, I know."

A pair of beautiful eyes with a smile, a light blue cotton and linen long dress, revealing a slender neck, the fingers that fiddled with the coffee were slender and white, and the nails were dyed a light pink, looking clean and healthy.

Swish, Shen Changan's face suddenly turned red.

My heart began to beat irregularly, faster and faster, and strong emotions rose uncontrollably from the bottom of my heart, more violent and rapid than the love at first sight at that time.

Shen Changan's fingertips trembled, but he suppressed them tightly.

Xihe took a sip of milk tea and put it down: "Chen Changan, can you introduce yourself? Apart from knowing that you are a painter, I don’t know anything else about you."

Shen Changan was stunned, and without thinking, he said, "I'm from Yanjing, I'm 25 years old this year, my parents are still alive, both are teachers, and they are very tolerant of people. I studied fine arts in college, and usually make a living by painting for others... Don't worry, my salary is okay, you can buy whatever you want, and if it's not enough, I will earn more."

He looked at her expectantly, his hands under the table clenched nervously.

Xihe: “…”

I felt soft and funny inside. Who would introduce themselves like that?

After laughing, a sour feeling surged from the bottom of my heart, and my chest felt stuffy. Shen Changan really put himself too low. He was innocent and romantic in his bones.

Falling in love with Xia Moli at first sight, he followed his feelings and opened his heart to her.

He didn't care how many romantic affairs she had in the past, nor did he care what kind of person she was.

He followed his inner feelings and loved her unconditionally, his behavior was almost like that of a pervert, incomprehensible and unacceptable... Xihe felt heartbroken whenever she thought of this.

“Chen Changan, I plan to quit my job at the bar and go back to study.”

Xihe raised her eyes and looked at him with a red face: "I heard that there is an adult college entrance examination now. Anyone who wants to study can study. But I stopped studying a long time ago, and now I am old. Changan, do you think... am I still okay?"

"sure!"

Shen Changan's eyes lit up instantly: "As long as you want to study, it's never too late. Studying is a very good thing. In college you can meet more like-minded friends, learn more knowledge, and understand more truths."

"If you're worried about not being able to learn, we can hire a professional teacher. You don't have to worry about that."

He sighed sincerely: "Jasmine, it's really great that you think this way."

He never thought there was anything wrong with working without studying, but studying and not studying are different after all. Life will be more exciting and there will be more possibilities in the future. But he knew her personality so he never mentioned it. He didn't expect that Jasmine would bring it up herself today.

A genuine smile appeared on the young man's face.

Xihe also smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shen Changan hummed, but couldn't help chewing it in her heart. She said she would listen to him... She raised her eyes, glanced at him again and again, and a happy factor slowly grew in her heart.

The food came and the two of them concentrated on eating.

Shen Changan was extremely elegant while dining, and he was multitasking by keeping an eye on Xihe at all times. When he saw that she had no tissues, he immediately took one out of his bag and gave it to her. After the meal, he thoughtfully poured her a glass of water and took out a parasol to shade her from the sun when he went out.

Lishui is located in a plateau area with strong sunlight.

Seeing him standing in the sun, Xihe poked his arm and said, "Come together, don't get sunburned."

Seeing her frank and sincere eyes, Shen Changan wanted to get close to her very much. He couldn't resist the temptation for a moment, got into the umbrella, and walked side by side in the sun.

There are mostly tourists in the ancient city, and most of the people coming and going are beautiful young ladies wearing ethnic-style skirts.

"I heard that Lishui is the city of romantic encounters. Shen Changan, are you here for a romantic encounter too?"

Xihe's voice was filled with laughter, but Shen Changan froze.

How should I answer this question? The young man blushed and pursed his lips: "I'm not looking for a romantic encounter."

He came here at first just because it was quiet and had beautiful scenery, so he gave up everything in Yanjing and came here. But he didn't expect that he would actually meet love here.

He still remembered that before leaving, his cousin-in-law patted his shoulder with a wretched look on his face: “Chen Changan, you finally want to find a woman!”

Shen Changan turned around and said to Xihe seriously, "I'm not looking for a romantic encounter, I just met you." There was a frankness in his eyes that aroused no suspicion.

Xihe curled the corners of his mouth: "I know, I'm just kidding you."

He is a famous talent in the Academy of Fine Arts. He has a unique cleanness, even his nails are so clean that they are almost transparent. He likes to wander around alone.

There are also beautiful women around him, some are models, some are his friends, but he is not in love with any of them.

He is extremely clean, advocates love and believes in love.

Xihe stopped and leaned forward under Shen Changan's puzzled gaze, her little face almost close to his chin: "Shen Changan, we have reacquainted ourselves. Do you want to... pursue me again?"

She has long eyelashes, charming eyes, and a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Chen Changan was caught off guard and felt burned. He suddenly became confused: "Jasmine, you..."

Xihe tilted his head, looking distressed: "Well, you're not happy? Then..."

"I do!"

Fearing that she would say something, Shen Changan hurriedly said, “I’ll pursue you again.”

Xihe stared at him for a long while, and when he saw his face flushed with nervousness, he turned around and continued walking forward: "I was going to say, if you don't like it, then I'll be the one chasing you."

Shen Changan: “…”
