Even though the stomach pain was relieved after taking the medicine, Ji Yuqi still tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
It was not until the second half of the night that she fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.
However, she did not sleep well.
Always dreaming.
In the dream, the bluestone streets of the ancient city, wetted by the continuous drizzle, reflected a cold halo. However, Ji Yuqi found the tall and slender Pei Yucheng at a glance among the dense crowd of people wearing identical college uniforms.
She held an umbrella and walked quickly towards him.
When he got closer, Ji Yuqi could see clearly that he was standing in a street shop, choosing sachets.
According to the traditional customs of the imperial capital, people need to wear sachets filled with mugwort during the Dragon Boat Festival to repel insects and ward off evil spirits.
Pei Yucheng seemed to have been eyeing the black sachet embroidered with a magical grass growing in a corner of the city wall for a long time. When he reached out to take the sachet, Ji Yuqi got there first and snatched it away directly.
He glanced sideways, then turned his head to look at her in extreme displeasure. Ji Yuqi raised the sachet in her hand and asked him with a smile, "Do you know what the 'Qi' in my name means? It's the name of a grass. Legend has it that it's a magical herb used by the ancient Shennong as medicine to cure diseases and strengthen the body. Look at the embroidery on this sachet: This magical herb grows on the 'city' wall, meaning that you are destined to have me. Today happens to be my birthday, so consider this sachet a birthday gift for me."
Without waiting for Pei Yucheng's response, Ji Yuqi ran away with the sachet.
She ran very far in one breath.
When he returned to his class, he barely dared to look back at Pei Yucheng.
He was still standing there, not moving.
Lian Zhan and Xiao Yi, who were beside him, were saying something to him when they came to their senses.
Ji Yuqi could only see that Lian Zhan and Xiao Yi's eyes were on her.
They must be talking about her.
But she didn't know what they were talking about.
Whether it was good or bad, it didn't matter to her who was only sixteen years old at the time.
This was the first birthday gift he gave her.
Even though she took it by force.
And it's very cheap.
However, when she saw Pei Yucheng standing silently at the door of the store for a while and finally paid for the sachet, she was still so happy that she couldn't control herself and almost jumped up.
She dreamed that after the school finished the ancient city activity that day, she returned to Ji's house and carefully hung the black sachet in the most conspicuous place on the head of her bed in the princess room.
At night, she didn't even want to sleep, but just kept smiling foolishly at the sachet.
Today is her birthday.
As the eldest daughter of one of the four major families, she received all kinds of expensive birthday gifts, which piled up into a small mountain in the first-floor hall. The housekeeper asked several servants to count them but they were still unable to count them all. However, this gift pleased her the most.
She held her chin and whispered, "Pei Yucheng, I've been pursuing you for two years, but you usually ignore me and don't even look at me. Have you never paid attention to me at all? When will you look at me more? When will you be willing to help me prepare a birthday present?! But it doesn't matter if I stole it, it's all yours anyway."
She was still immersed in infinite joy, but the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.
It turned out that he took the initiative to give Ning Ruyan a birthday present in front of the whole school.
Somehow, Ning Ruyan also became a student of the Chaebol Alliance Academy.
Pei Yucheng gave her a pair of limited edition and valuable pink diamond earrings.
At that time, she was standing in the crowd, watching Pei Yucheng personally put the earrings on Ning Ruyan's earlobes. The black sachet in her hand had been severely deformed.
