Qi Silin's appearance made passing students unconsciously turn around and take a second look.

"baby."

The man opened his arms to Qi Jiu, just as he had welcomed her back that day on the hill behind City A.

Although the girl's smile was tinged with helplessness, she quickened her pace considerably.

Finally, she threw herself into his arms, resting her head against his strong chest, greedily inhaling his pleasant scent.

Looking at the girl in his arms, Qi Silin opened his coat and hugged her tightly.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?"

Qi Jiu was wearing only a simple shirt, while Qi Silin was wearing a thin overcoat.

Given the current climate, I'm afraid we'll need to wear even thicker clothes in less than a month.

The girl hugged his strong waist, shook her head, and smiled contentedly. "It might have been a little cold before, but now that you're here, it's not cold at all."

Qi Silin listened, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

Finally, the two got into the car side by side and left.

Not far away, Jiang Xin watched the departing figure with envy on her face.

"Qiqi and this young master of the Qi family are really a perfect match. Whether it's their family background or their own abilities, one of them is all-powerful in the Qi family, and the other has a promising future in pharmacy. If they don't end up together, I'll stop believing in love."

As she spoke, her smile deepened, and then, as if sighing, she added another sentence.

"It's really great that these two people got together."

"That's true, but aren't you and Qingfeng the same? What are you envious of?"

Chu Cangyu found her expression amusing. Didn't she just happen to have a childhood sweetheart who was the heir to a medical science? They had never been apart since they were little. He had heard that they went to school together, were always in the same class, and even went to the same high school.

If anyone should be envious, it's Han Jiayin.

No matter what she did before, she couldn't get to He Qingfeng's side.

Han Jiayin: "..." 6.

He Qingfeng was taken aback when he was suddenly called out. Almost instinctively, he looked at Jiang Xin in front of him with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Coincidentally, Jiang Xin was also looking at her at that moment. Although the environment was somewhat dim, he could still see her bright eyes.

Before she could say anything, Jiang Xin suddenly smiled.

"Those two are about to get married. Qingfeng and I are just childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Besides, Qingfeng is different now. He's so outstanding. He might not even be interested in me, right, Qingfeng?"

He Qingfeng froze, his feet stopped moving, his face expressionless as he stared straight at her, his calm expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

a long time.

"no."

He Qingfeng uttered those two words and strode away. Although he left in a hurry and I couldn't tell anything from his face, I could still tell he was a little unhappy.

His movements were somewhat sudden; before Jiang Xin could react, he had already walked away.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and even with streetlights, the dim environment prevented the two people around her from seeing the blush on her face.

"What did Qingfeng say? No? No what?"

Zhu Luoxing exclaimed "Oh dear!" and glanced at Chu Cangyu, "You don't understand anything!"

Suddenly, he leaned close to Jiang Xin and said, "He doesn't look down on you; in other words, he likes you."

Jiang Xin: "..." You understand reading comprehension.

In the car, Qi Silin's large hand was playing with Qi Jiu's slender little hand.

"Grandpa already knows about our relationship, but he didn't have time before. So, do you have time to come home with me now? Grandpa wants to see you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu could see Qi Silin's fixed gaze.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Qi Jiu's playful side kicked in. "What if I don't want to go now?"

Although the car had already left the school, it didn't head directly towards the Qi family's house. Instead, it circled around, seemingly waiting for her decision.

"Then we won't go. I won't force you. We can eat whenever we want. If you don't want to go, I'll take you to eat something else that's good, or whatever you want to eat, I'll take you there."

His eyes were full of doting affection, which made Qi Jiu chuckle softly.

"Just kidding, let's go."

It wasn't her first time visiting the Qi family, so this time was fine too. She quite liked Old Master Qi.

When the two arrived at the Qi family's old house, the surrounding environment had already become completely dark.

The man led the little girl, and they strolled slowly through the Qi family manor.

As soon as the door opened, a rich, sweet aroma filled the air, and at the same time, the voices of Old Master Qi could be heard inside.

"Is this how it's made? I heard that little Qiqi likes sweet things, but this doesn't seem sweet enough to me. Should I add some more sugar?"

Just then, a pleasant female voice rang out.

"You did a good job. It's sweet enough already. Any sweeter and it'll be too cloying." There was a hint of helplessness in the voice.

Hearing the conversation inside, Qi Silin was taken aback. He then turned to look at Qi Jiu beside him. The girl was also looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

"Grandpa seems to have made something nice for you."

The man's dark eyes held a mixture of other emotions. Qi Jiu listened to the voice inside and nodded blankly.

That woman's voice...

When the two went inside, they saw that although Grandpa Qi was a little hunched over, he was wearing a pink apron and walking back and forth in the kitchen.

I usually need a cane, but now I don't know where it went.

It actually looks perfectly natural.

Qi Jiu's attention, however, was focused on the woman next to Old Master Qi.

Although she was wearing ordinary casual clothes, her every move exuded an inexplicable elegance and nobility.

This person's identity is definitely not simple.

At this moment, her long hair was lazily tucked behind her head, with a few stray strands occasionally falling out, and her hands moved very nimbly.

From the side, her skin looks very well-maintained.

"This is……"

"My mom must be back from vacation."

Qi Silin's smile was genuine, but in reality, it was very likely that it was Old Master Qi who called him back, since he hadn't told his mother yet.

"Qiqi is here!"

Perhaps their conversation was overheard by someone inside, for Old Master Qi, wearing a pink Hello Kitty apron, was waving at Qi Jiu with a big smile on his face.

Qi Jiu: "..."

"Hello, Grandpa Qi."

The girl's smile was appropriate, which made Old Master Qi nod repeatedly. "Good, good, good."

Standing behind Grandpa Qi, Qin Lu looked at the young woman beside her son and nodded in satisfaction.

This girl is beautiful, polite, and I heard she's also an excellent student.
