That night, a rich lady stopped him and asked him to accompany her to a restaurant for a drink.

Qin Fulang naturally wouldn't go.

The rich lady was furious. She grabbed his hand and tried to kiss him forcefully, then...

Qin Tong appeared.

"...She beat the rich girl away in no time. She looked quite heroic, but when she turned around and faced me, she was so shy she hesitated and didn't even dare to look me in the eye. That was the night we met."

"...After that, I don't know how, but we often bumped into each other. Because of her lifesaver status, I had a good impression of her. Later, I realized that those so-called chance encounters were all her tricks. She said that she had been attracted to me since she saw me on the night of Qixi Festival and vowed to marry me. And I, step by step, willingly stepped into her tricks..."

From a chance meeting, to a moment of heart-pounding affection, to later knowing each other, promising each other, and loving each other, until death separated them.

After Qin Tong's death, he simply couldn't accept it in the beginning. He was heartbroken all night long. He picked up the dagger many times, put it to his heart, and was about to stab it.

Later, it was Qin Shu who discovered it, took away his dagger, and stayed by his side at all times.

He didn't commit suicide again, but he became half crazy.

-

Qin Shujie's face trembled, and a crystal teardrop rolled down quietly. They had indeed had a difficult time during the period when their mother passed away.

Looking back on that period, Qin Shu felt as if the sky was about to collapse and crush them. Fortunately, they gradually got through it.

However, one of the two family members passed away, while the other one distanced himself from them and became close to the hypocrite.

"Knock knock, Xiaoshu, where are you?"

"Xiaoshu, I'm Bai Chu. If you're here, could you open the door for me?"

The knock on the door was familiar to the boy, and the tender and bright voice broke the faint sadness that filled the yard.

Qin Shu's eyes were dazed for a moment.

Was it an illusion? She seemed to hear Bai Chu's voice.

But, shouldn’t Bai Chu be accompanying Miss Lu Ying at this time?

Qin Shu half-closed his eyes and did not move.

Until the calling voice became more urgent.

"Xiaoshu, someone is looking for you. It sounds like something urgent. Is it someone you know?" Qin Fulang asked.

Only then did Qin Shu confirm that he had heard correctly.

Qin Shu reached out his hand, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, and suddenly stood up: "Dad, I'll go take a look."

-

The Qin family's address was quite remote, and Bai Chu took a lot of effort to find it.

The door to the yard was closed, so Bai Chu could only knock on the door.

I just knocked on the door and called someone, but there was no response at all.

"Could it be that I've found the wrong place?" Bai Chu withdrew his hand and was about to look around again when the door suddenly opened.

A girl in a light yellow dress appeared in front of him. She was a familiar person.

Bai Chu's lips curled up unconsciously: "Xiaoshu, so you are at home, I thought I came to the wrong place?"

The girl didn't answer him, but just looked at him in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that he would appear here.

Bai Chu was just about to ask her how she was feeling and if she felt unwell, when he suddenly noticed that her eyes were a little red.

He frowned and took a step forward unconsciously.

"Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you? Are you crying? Are you feeling unwell, or is someone bullying you?"
