After the party ended, everyone dispersed.
Several people invited Lin Xun and Su Qingshi to go to karaoke, but the two declined.
A cool evening breeze blew as Lin Xun and Su Qingshi strolled hand in hand down the street, their shadows lengthening in the moonlight.
"I'm quite happy today," Su Qingshi said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm always happy to be with you," Lin Xun replied.
Su Qingshi rolled her eyes at him. That's not what he meant. Of course, it doesn't seem wrong to say it that way.
She gradually changed. As her work circle expanded, her personality became much more cheerful, and she was able to talk to others with ease, no longer isolating herself as she used to.
As they walked, they came to a jewelry store.
The shop window displayed a variety of exquisite ornaments, and Su Qingshi's eyes were drawn to a necklace.
"Do you like it?" Lin Xun noticed her gaze.
Su Qingshi nodded gently. She looked at Lin Xun and said, "I still have the jewelry you bought for me on the mountain. I like it very much."
Thinking back on those moments, she couldn't help but sigh at how time waits for no one.
Lin Xun smiled and pulled her into the store.
Lin Xun pointed to the necklace and said to the shop assistant, "Could you please bring this necklace out for me to take a look at?"
The shop assistant smiled and nodded, then took out the necklace and handed it to Lin Xun.
Lin Xun took the necklace and carefully put it around Su Qingshi's neck.
The diamonds sparkled brilliantly under the moonlight, making Su Qingshi even more beautiful and charming.
“You’re beautiful, just like you.” Lin Xun stared intently at Su Qingshi.
A blush rose on Su Qingshi's face. "Thank you."
Lin Xun tilted his head and said, "I bought it."
Su Qingshi shook her head slightly: "There's no need to buy them. I don't usually wear these anyway."
Lin Xun smiled faintly: "Whether you wear it or not is one thing, whether you have it or not is another."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, I've been working at the company for the past two months and I've been getting paid. What's wrong with using my own hard-earned money to buy my fiancée some gifts?"
Su Qingshi looked at him with gentle eyes.
Lin Xun turned to the shop assistant and said, "Could you please wrap this up for me?"
The shop assistant was pleasantly surprised and excitedly said, "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
After the package was finished and handed to Lin Xun, the shop assistant praised him with a genuine smile, "Sir, you are so generous to your fiancée."
Lin Xun smiled.
After paying, the two left the jewelry store.
It was late at night, and the two strolled hand in hand down the street, occasionally going into shops to take a look before coming out empty-handed.
Sometimes, shopping doesn't necessarily mean buying things; the experience is the most important thing.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled rumble of thunder sounded in the sky.
Lin Xun looked up, somewhat surprised: "Thunder? So suddenly?"
Beside her, Su Qingshi tightened her grip on Lin Xun's hand slightly.
Lin Xun noticed the girl's nervousness and smiled to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, senior, I'm here for you."
"Um!"
The weather suddenly changed, and people on the street lost their interest in continuing to stroll around; even the stall owners began to pack up their things.
The rain came very suddenly, almost as if it were man-made.
Another flash of lightning, and then raindrops began to fall in abundance.
The sweltering weather was suddenly dampened by the rain, which lifted people's spirits.
"Let's go find shelter from the rain." Lin Xun took Su Qingshi's little hand and they ran down the street.
A handsome man in a suit was running in the rain with a stunningly beautiful girl in a dress, and the scene immediately attracted the attention of many people.
It has a romantic feel to it no matter how you look at it.
The two ran side by side, their shoes leaving a trail of marks on the puddle.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at a park.
There was a pavilion in the park, and the two of them ran inside to keep the rain out of the pavilion.
Both of their clothes were a little wet, but they had lighthearted expressions on their faces.
"Suddenly, I find it quite exciting," Lin Xun remarked, watching the increasingly heavy rain.
Su Qingshi carefully patted the water stains off his suit, saying, "Take off your suit, or you'll catch a cold."
Lin Xun obediently took off his suit jacket; thankfully, his shirt underneath wasn't wet.
On the other hand, the girl's skirt was highly absorbent and was already wet.
Lin Xun gently embraced Su Qingshi and left a tender kiss on her forehead.
"Let me warm you up."
Su Qingshi's face was filled with a happy smile as she leaned against Lin Xun's chest, enjoying this moment of warmth.
The rain kept falling, showing no signs of stopping.
Lin Xun looked around and found that the pavilion was rather secluded and probably rarely visited.
He decided to stay a little longer and enjoy the rare time alone with Su Qingshi.
"Are you cold?" Lin Xun asked with concern.
Su Qingshi shook her head. "With you here, it's not cold."
Lin Xun grasped Su Qingshi's hand and breathed on it, "That's good."
The two listened quietly to the sound of the rain, neither of them speaking, yet the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, Lin Xun broke the silence: "You know what? I loved rain when I was a kid."
"Why?" Su Qingshi asked curiously.
"Because on rainy days you can listen to the rain, you can daydream, and you can not think about anything," Lin Xun said, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
Su Qingshi smiled faintly, "Then every time it rains from now on, I'll keep you company and let you space out."
Lin Xun looked down into the girl's pure eyes, his eyes filled with love: "Okay."
The two embraced each other for a long time.
Half an hour later, the rain gradually subsided and turned into a light drizzle.
Lin Xun checked the time: "It's getting late, let's go back."
Su Qingshi nodded.
Not far away, Atai was already waiting. Lin Xun had asked him to drive over in advance, but he didn't want him to disturb his time alone with his senior.
The two walked out of the pavilion together.
The air outside was fresh and pleasant, mixed with the smell of rain.
They walked slowly, enjoying the tranquility after the rain.
Artest opened the door for them, then got into the driver's seat and drove off.
Outside the car window, the city lights seemed especially warm at that moment.
Lin Xun and Su Qingshi sat quietly in the back seat, listening to soft music, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.
Suddenly, Su Qingshi's phone rang.
She glanced at the screen; the caller ID showed Ning Yuluo calling.
Su Qingshi answered the phone: "Hello... Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"Brother Ning asked me to go to the company again tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Su Qingshi looked at Lin Xun.
Lin Xun nodded in understanding.
Soon, the car arrived at the Lin family compound.
At this time, Gu Yanyan and Lin Batian had already returned to their room, and Lin Xun and Su Qingshi did not linger either, returning to their room as well.
"Senior, do you still stand by what you said during the day?"
"What did you say?"
"It's just... I can do whatever I want tonight..."
"…rogue."
