"Pear, what is your dream home like? Like... a home without a mom or dad, without anyone else, just you, a home for yourself."
"Pear, when I make money in the future, I want to buy a big house."
"...Snow-white walls, lush green grass, and colorful flowers. From afar, it looks like a white castle built in a forest. I'll plant a row of ivy by the window. Ivy is incredibly resilient; it grows wildly, and the snow-white walls will be covered in vines, both flamboyant and eerie. Adults and children alike will be too scared to come in, thinking it's...a witch's castle! Yes, a witch's castle!"
“Pear, do you think people have past lives? If they really do, I hope I was a witch in my past life, riding my broom, flying wherever I wanted, free and unrestrained, soaring with the wind.”
"Pear, do you think that day will ever come?"
I've forgotten when that chat happened.
Which year's Christmas?
Or perhaps, after watching Harry Potter together during the summer holidays, the two returned to their apartment and, after drinking, started rambling incoherently?
I don't remember the exact time and place.
Ye Li remembered clearly how she answered.
She said: Yes, Chuchu, we definitely will! Let's work together to build your castle!
At that moment, Qin Chu, whose eyes were already sparkling and who seemed drunk, raised his glass: "Good!"
At this moment, Qin Chu's dream came true!
A snow-white villa.
Dark green Virginia creeper.
A lush green meadow.
Colorful little flowers in full bloom.
Pushing open the gate, a pebbled path winds its way forward, leading directly to the villa's steps.
For a moment, Ye Li felt as if she had wandered into a forest and entered a witch's villa, rather than in a bustling city.
The villa was exquisitely decorated, from the large sofas and wine cabinets to the small chairs in the dining room, everything was in the Qin Chu style.
The most ingenious thing is the broom placed in the huge bookcase against the wall in the study on the second floor, which is mainly beige.
Look closely at the words carved on the broom.
Ye Li: ...
Tinderblast
"Harry Potter's broom became Qin Chuchu's private collection?"
Ye Li smiled as she looked at Lu Xizhou, who was leaning against the study door, "I dare say no one would believe you. Young Master Lu, you're something else!"
"Absolutely!"
Lu Xizhou looked at Qin Chu with a smug expression, "Don't even mention a broom. Even if my darling wanted the moon, I'd still find a way to get her to the sky, wouldn't I?"
As he spoke, Lu Xizhou glanced at his watch. "Alright, you two sisters can chat. I'll come pick you up when it's time for dinner!"
With a wave of his hand, Lu Xizhou walked away nimbly.
I thought it was already past six o'clock, and there wasn't much time left before dinner, so I shouldn't bother going out.
Before Ye Li could speak, Qin Chu grabbed her arm. "He lives right next door, just a few steps away."
? ? ?
Ye Li blinked, looking at Qin Chu with disbelief, "What are you two doing...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Li suddenly understood.
The home Qin Chu wanted was always just for her alone, the so-called witch's castle.
That was what she truly wanted deep down: a personal space that could give her a sense of happiness and security.
Lu Xizhou not only understood her, but also gave her.
"Now I finally understand why you fell for me, and why you fell so completely!"
Ye Li looked at Qin Chu, opened her arms to hug her, and said, "Darling, I'm so happy for you!"
Qin Chu's heart throbbed and returned to its original place.
She hesitated and didn't dare to accept the 50 million yuan car, but Li Zi took it on her behalf.
She accepted the 200 million yuan villa without even a moment's hesitation.
It was an impulsive act born of excessive excitement.
But when Qin Chu came to his senses afterward, he wanted to regret it, but it was too late.
These past few days, Qin Chu has been wondering if she did something wrong.
After all, you're beholden to someone who gives you a bribe.
Not to mention it's 200 million.
I wanted to tell Pear, but I didn't know how to start.
But at this moment, Ye Li smiled with her eyes crinkling, as if she were sharing in Ye Li's happiness.
Qin Chu immediately felt relieved.
This villa was a gift from Lu Xizhou to her three days ago.
She has come and gone so many times, and each time she has stayed at Lu Xizhou's villa.
The two seemed to have endless things to talk about, and they were all talking nonsense.
Lu Xizhou said he particularly envied the bald boss who stir-fried crayfish on the roadside with his shirt off, who was unrestrained yet full of the warmth of everyday life.
Lu Xizhou said that if the Lu family went bankrupt, he would find a pedestrian overpass, put on sunglasses, and play the erhu. Oh, and he'd have to slouch for a few days to keep a scruffy stubble. He should be able to make some money that way.
Lu Xizhou also said that his biggest dream is to wake up in a 1.2-meter-wide bed, holding one in his arms and another on his head.
The one I'm holding has to be her.
The thing on top could be a child, a cat or dog, or even a parrot.
In short, the main theme is a crowded atmosphere and an overwhelming sense of happiness.
She couldn't just listen to Lu Xizhou's long explanation.
Therefore, her dream about home was something she told Lu Xizhou over these past few months of coming and going.
Once he had said it, Qin Chu didn't think much of it.
In her view, dreams are meant to be realized, and she is still young.
One day, when she no longer wants to drive cars or drive in the car park, she can find a place she likes.
If she can find a suitable one, that would be best; if not, she can always find someone to build it herself.
It can always be achieved.
But that evening, Lu Xizhou mysteriously said he would take her somewhere.
Lu Xizhou has taken her to many places, and each time he looks inscrutable and mysterious.
The truth is indeed quite mysterious.
Qin Chu had no idea that the dignified Young Master Lu actually knew which alley in Sicheng had the best tofu pudding and which street had the best blind massage therapist.
During the day, Lu Xizhou is the executive vice president of Lu's Group, handsome and dashing, exuding a high-end image.
But as soon as it got dark, Lu Xizhou took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his collar, rolled up his cuffs, and led her through the streets and alleys, looking like a sunny 18-year-old boy.
Lu Xizhou, with a bright smile and a smug look in his eyes, drove her home.
The car stopped in front of the villa. Before she could even utter a joke, Lu Xizhou led her out of the car and ran with her through the afterglow of the setting sun to the villa.
"Witch, welcome home!"
Her eyes sparkled with a crystalline light. Even now, recalling that evening three days ago, Qin Chu could still remember how handsome Lu Xizhou was when he opened the door.
"pear……"
The orange-red sunset spread across the distant horizon, turning the entire world into a breathtaking spectacle.
Amidst the blooming of the last roses, Qin Chu's eyes and brows shone with a bright, star-like smile.
Even the ends of her hair were glowing.
Qin Chu looked at Ye Li with bright eyes and said, "I've found the person I've been looking for, and the way home."
