While Bai Xiaoruo was still struggling with how to bring it up with Ji Ziqian, Ji Ziqian had already returned with the strawberry-flavored ice cream she wanted.

"Xiao Ruo, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and eat, or you'll melt."

Ji Ziqian waited in line for a while before rushing to Bai Xiaoruo's side. He just wanted to let her eat her favorite ice cream as soon as possible and make her happy.

He would fulfill all her desires.

Just like when she was little, he has always been the older brother she relies on the most.

Now, Ji Ziqian no longer wants to be Bai Xiaoruo's older brother. He likes her and has been unable to take his eyes off her since the first time he saw her.

I want to be with her, like lovers.

"Thank you." Bai Xiaoruo's wandering thoughts were pulled back again. She took the ice cream from Ji Ziqian's hand, put it to her lips, and licked it with the tip of her tongue. It was sweet, icy, and delicious.

Bai Xiaoruo then realized that Ji Ziqian had only bought one ice cream. He had gone through so much trouble queuing up, why didn't he buy one for himself?

"Brother Ziqian, aren't you going to eat?"

Ji Ziqian shook his head, "I don't like sweets."

"Huh? Then, you ate so many cream pastries with me at noon, Ziqian-ge, are you serious? Why didn't you tell me you don't like sweets?" From childhood to adulthood, whenever Ji Ziqian had something delicious, he would always give it to Bai Xiaoruo, or specially bring it to the Bai family for her. Even if Bai Xiaofu deliberately snatched it away every time, Ji Ziqian would secretly give Bai Xiaoruo another portion.

Bai Xiaoruo certainly remembered Ji Ziqian's kindness. Whenever she had delicious candy, she would put it in his pocket, and Ji Ziqian would always tear open the candy wrapper and sit next to her happily eating it.

But now Ji Ziqian is saying he doesn't like sweets, so Bai Xiaoruo has been wronging him for so many years.

By the way, Bai Xiaoruo remembered that Xuan Mingyu loved sweets. At home, whenever she made desserts or sweet and sour dishes, he would eat them all up, leaving nothing for her, and then say: "It's so-so, it won't kill you."

Every time, he could make Bai Xiaoruo so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

Whenever she thought of him, Bai Xiaoruo's lips would suddenly curl upwards slightly. In fact, when she was with Xian Mingyu, although he always liked to bully and oppress her, and sometimes said really harsh things, if you think about it carefully, he wasn't only bad to her. There were also good times. At least, several times when she was in danger and helpless, he helped her get through the difficulties.

"Xiao Ruo, your ice cream is going to melt into water if you don't eat it soon." Ji Ziqian didn't know what Bai Xiao Ruo suddenly thought of, and he smiled foolishly.

The ice cream in her hand wasn't going to wait for her to eat it; it had already started to melt little by little.

"Oh no!" Bai Xiaoruo quickly ate the ice cream in her hand.

This is the ice cream that Ziqian bought for himself after a lot of effort. It would be such a waste if it melted and he couldn't eat it.

"Eat slowly, I won't take it from you." Ji Ziqian took out a pack of tissues from his coat pocket, pulled out two tissues and handed them to Bai Xiaoruo.

This little glutton has food all over her mouth. If it weren't for her lipstick being long-lasting, her makeup would have been completely ruined.

It's so cold now, if she eats so fast, her teeth might get numb from the cold.

After finishing her ice cream, Bai Xiaoruo licked her lips with lingering satisfaction. "It was so delicious! I wish I could have another one."

However, it's winter now, so it's best to eat less to avoid stomach discomfort.

Oh right, I almost forgot to ask Brother Ziqian a question.

"Brother Ziqian, do you really not like sweets?"

"It's not that I dislike it very much, it's just that I eat less of it, unlike you, who can't stop eating sweets."

Ji Ziqian smiled and gently pinched Bai Xiaoruo's small nose.

It's like a secret code they used when they were kids.

Whenever Bai Xiaoruo made a mistake and messed things up, she would be punished by Bai Minglei and made to stand outside the door crying. Whenever Ji Ziqian saw this, he would always go over to her, first pinch her little nose with his hand, and then start to comfort her with words.

He always said that a girl with a red nose is like a volcano about to erupt; if you pinch her nose, the volcano won't erupt, and tears will keep flowing.

Whenever she heard this sentence, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but burst into laughter through her tears, and she no longer had any desire to cry.

“Brother Ziqian, I’m not a child anymore, and I’m not crying right now.”

"I've never treated you like a child. To me, you are the most special person."

Bai Xiaoruo lowered her head in embarrassment. When did Ziqian learn so many mushy words? She didn't know what to say.

Seeing Bai Xiaoruo so shy, and couples passing by hand in hand, Ji Ziqian suddenly felt that the time was ripe in this already romantic and joyful amusement park. He put his hand in his coat pocket, preparing to take out the brocade box.

My hand just gripped the brocade box tightly—

"Brother Ziqian, what are we going to do next? It's almost evening, does this mean the day is over?"

Although Xian Mingyu was still away on a business trip and couldn't keep an eye on her, Bai Xiaoruo felt it was better to obediently go home and listen to him not to stay out too late, lest he suddenly call to check up on her.

I've been playing all day and I'm really tired.

Bai Xiaoruo secretly thought: Tomorrow is Xian Mingyu's birthday. Should I go back and study some recipes so that I can cook him a sumptuous meal when he comes back tomorrow night?
