Qin Wan got up and went upstairs first, and Lu Yao thought for a moment and followed closely behind.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Lu Yao was blocked by Qin Luo.

"Get out of the way," Lu Yao said in a deep voice.

"Lu Yao, this is my home. You can bother me all you want. My sister's room is on the third floor. Only my father and I are allowed to go up there. Can't you, an outsider, have some self-awareness?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao paused for a moment, then suddenly stared at Qin Luo with an unreadable expression and asked, "You can't go up either?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo pursed his thin lips and remained silent, but his meaning was already quite clear.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes flickered as he stared at the stairs to the third floor...

He didn't argue with Qin Luo. Since Qin Luo wouldn't let him go upstairs, he simply turned around and went downstairs.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Qin Luo withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and curled his lips as he watched Lu Yao's back as he went downstairs.

Ten minutes later...

"Lu Yao, get downstairs right now!"

"Lu Yao, the third floor is not a place you can go!"

"Lu Yao!!!"

Not long after the Jiang family left, Qin's father rushed to the company.

It was precisely because Qin's father was not present that Qin Luo dared to shout and make such a fuss.

Qin Wan was in her room when she heard the knocking on the door, and she paused almost imperceptibly.

After a long while, a sound came from inside the door.

"who?"

"Sister Qin, it's me."

One minute later, the door was opened.

Lu Yao stood at the door with a plate of clean strawberries, smiling at her.

"Sister Qin, I heard from Qin Luo that you like to eat strawberries. These are freshly washed, would you like to try some?"

"...I'm not eating." After her gaze lingered on the strawberries for a second, Qin Wan looked at Lu Yao. "I want to be alone for a while."

"Did I bother Sister Qin?" Lu Yao suddenly asked apologetically.

"……No."

"Does Sister Qin dislike me?"

"...No, not either."

"Can I stay and keep Sister Qin company?"

"……what ever."

Faced with Lu Yao's expectant gaze, Qin Wan remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing.

Qin Wan closed the door, turned around and went back into her room, while Lu Yao obediently stood at the door waiting.

Time slips away quietly...

Qin Wan looked at her phone and calculated the passage of time. About two hours later, she opened the door.

She was startled when she saw the person squatting at the door.

Why are you still here?

"Sister Qin, are you feeling better?" Lu Yao asked as he stood up. Perhaps because he had been squatting for too long, he was about to fall to the side.

Seeing this, Qin Wan quickly reached out to support him.

The moment their skin touched, Lu Yao's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

"Sister Qin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." After regaining his balance, Lu Yao quickly apologized.

"My legs are a little numb..."

Qin Wan stared at him for a long time before her gaze finally fell on the plate of strawberries in his hand.

"I want to eat strawberries," Qin Wan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao quickly handed over the strawberries, saying, "Here you go."

Qin Wan glanced at him and said, "I don't like eating standing up."

With that, she turned and went into the adjacent reception room.

Seeing this, a glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes. Without further hesitation, he quickly followed.

The small balcony on the third floor.

Qin Wan sat on a recliner, eating strawberries while basking in the sun.

Lu Yao obediently stayed by her side, not saying a word or disturbing her, just quietly accompanying her and watching over her.

After about ten minutes of silence, Qin Wan suddenly spoke.

Aren't you bored?

Lu Yao shook his head, "I'll never be bored when I'm with Sister Qin."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan paused almost imperceptibly, then looked at Lu Yao's obedient face and suddenly chuckled.

"You are smarter and more likable than Qin Luo."

For a moment, Lu Yao was clearly stunned.

This seemed to be the first time he had seen Qin Wan smile since he came to the Qin family. Although it was a very faint smile, it was a genuine one.

[Lu Yao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 62.]

The girl in front of me gradually overlapped with the girl in my memory.

The shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth were both sweet and familiar.

Seeing the faint look of dazedness in Lu Yao's eyes, Qin Wan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly asked, "Have we met before?"

Lu Yao was taken aback, and his eyes lit up almost imperceptibly. "Why did you ask that, Sister Qin?"

"I just feel a strange sense of familiarity when I look at you, but... I can't quite place it," Qin Wan explained.

Upon hearing this, a faint hint of disappointment flashed across Lu Yaoyou's deep eyes.

I can't remember...

In Sister Qin's heart, am I really that unimportant...?

Is it that, apart from Jiang Huan, no one else can make you remember?

Just as Lu Yao was lost in his own thoughts, Qin Wan's voice rang out again...

"I'm thinking, what is it about me that I don't compare to Su Yue?"

Lu Yao snapped out of his daze and, seeing the self-doubt in Qin Wan's eyes, quickly explained, "In my heart, Sister Qin is the most outstanding."

“But Jiang Huan doesn’t think so.” Qin Wan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“My childhood friendship with him, which lasted for more than ten years, is no match for Su Yue, whom I’ve known for less than two months.”

As they were talking, Qin Wan suddenly moved closer to Lu Yao...

The moment their eyes met, Lu Yao's heart trembled violently, and he subconsciously held his breath.

Am I really better than Su Yue?

"Su Yue is not worthy to be compared with you."

"If it were you, would you choose me or Su Yue?"

"I will always only choose Sister Qin." Lu Yao said this with unusual firmness.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan was taken aback for a long time before she came to her senses.

She gave Lu Yao a deep look and chuckled softly.

"Thanks."

After saying that, she casually picked up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.

Lu Yao was caught off guard by the strawberry, and felt the sweetness of the strawberry spread in his mouth.

Sister Qin shared her favorite strawberries with him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao's lips curled up slightly, and he felt very happy.

[Lu Yao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 64.]

Watching Qin Wan's departing figure, Lu Yao quickly followed.

"Sister Qin, where are you going?"

Qin Wan paused in her departing steps, then suddenly turned and stared at Lu Yao for a moment…

"are you free?"

"Mmm." Lu Yao nodded obediently.

"Then you'll be in charge of keeping me company today." Without waiting for Lu Yao's reply, Qin Wan made the final decision for him.

"Go downstairs and wait for me. I'll go change my clothes, and then I'll take you out to play."

"good."

Half an hour later, at the Qin family's main gate.

Qin Wan wore a pink princess dress, high heels, and carried a pink heart-shaped handbag. Her hair was styled in curls and tied into a bun. She wore delicate and cute light makeup, just as exquisite as she always was...

"Can you drive?" Qin Wan glanced at Lu Yao and asked.

"I know a little."

"Do you have a driver's license?" Qin Wan asked again.

"Just got it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wan stopped asking questions, casually tossed the keys into Lu Yao's arms, and sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing this, Lu Yao followed suit and got into the car.

Qin Wan had just put down her bag when Lu Yao's voice suddenly rang out...

"etc……"

"Hmm?" Qin Wan turned her head in confusion, only to find Lu Yao suddenly standing up, bending down, and getting closer to her...
