Qiu Hu took Xiang Gexuan to buy a gift. They went to a jewelry store, but after looking around, they couldn't find anything she liked.
"Fox, you're really going all out. Have you really fallen for Ning Yizhan?"
She didn't expect Xiang Gexuan to ask that question. "I don't know, but his mother is very nice to me."
Xiang Gexuan knew that her sister was clueless when it came to romantic relationships, but she didn't want to interfere before things even started, so she could only wait for her to slowly work things out. "It's okay, we'll take it slow. Let's choose jewelry first!"
Qiu Hu's eyes lit up when he saw a brooch. Pointing to a diamond brooch in the display case, he asked, "Princess Xiangxiang, what do you think of this brooch?"
Xiang Gexuan looked over and thought it looked pretty good. "It's good, it's a great gift for an elder. I remember it was a limited edition." Xiang Gexuan's current job is to eat, drink, and have fun, spending Shang Ji's money. In his spare time, he writes novels or screenplays.
"Let's go with this one!"
After choosing their gifts, the two went to select formal wear, just as the Ning family had invited a business owner.
Xiang Gexuan was happy when she saw pretty clothes. Qiu Hu also picked out some, habitually choosing black, but Xiang Gexuan stopped him, saying, "Try other colors!"
Qiu Hu put it down, picked out a different color, paid, and waited for the clothes to be delivered to his door.
After they finished buying what they needed, they started browsing around. While browsing, they came across Ning Yijia and Guan Moran in a watch shop.
Ever since Qiu Hu complimented Ning Yijia's clothes, she hadn't held such a strong prejudice against Qiu Hu. It wasn't until Guan Moran returned that she realized the true meaning of disparity, and her prejudice against her resurfaced. She had known for a long time that Guan Moran liked her brother; who wouldn't want their gentle and considerate best friend as their sister-in-law, rather than the scheming and unapproachable Qiu Hu?
When the four met, Guan Moran spoke first, "Isn't this Miss Qiu? Hello."
Isn't this the kind of unevenness Ning Yijia wanted? Qiu Hu simply nodded slightly and replied indifferently with "Hello," while Guan Moran smiled gently.
"Chou Hu, what a coincidence, you're shopping too?"
"Yes."
The four of them walked in silence, then suddenly Ning Yijia and Guan Moran started discussing, "Jiajia, I think the watch Yizhan is wearing is Yufei. Do you think we should get him the latest model?"
"If you want to give it to him, then give it to him. Anyway, he's been wearing that watch all year. It's strange that he usually doesn't use his things for more than six months, but he's been wearing that watch for more than six months."
"Okay then, I'll give him a new one, but I don't know if he'll like it or even wear it."
"I think so."
It was that watch again. Qiu Hu thought it looked familiar when he saw it last time, and now he seemed to remember that it was a gift from her.
This year, she went to the Ning family residence with her grandfather to pay New Year's respects and gave Ning Yizhan a New Year's gift. The gift was prepared by Awan, but she only glanced at it when Ning Yizhan asked her to open it. No wonder Ning Yizhan looked at her with such a resentful look when they talked about this watch halfway through their last meal. So that's why. She felt a chill of shame in her heart.
But will he really wear the one Guan Moran gave him?
Xiang Gexuan noticed that she was in a daze and called her several times before she came to her senses.
She snapped out of her daze. What was she thinking?
She seemed a little uninterested. "Let's go back!"
Passing by a dessert shop, I remembered that girl again. She was back, and I wanted to have a meal together, so I called Xiang Gexuan over. "By the way, Princess Xiangxiang, let me introduce you to a friend I met on Huxi Island tomorrow. I think you'll like her."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
She took Xiang Gexuan home before going back herself.
I only sent a message to that girl after I got home.
Lake: Sister Zi, I'll send you the address later. See you tomorrow.
zizi: See you tomorrow.
The next afternoon, at a hot pot restaurant.
Qiu Hu and Xiang Gexuan arrived first and booked a private room, inviting the girl to come directly into the room.
A girl with long, curly black hair, wearing a white dress, opened the door and walked in. Their eyes met, and the girl softly said, "Hello, hello, long time no see."
Qiu Hu stood up and pulled out the chair next to him. "Sister Zi, come quickly."
Shuzi walked up to the chair and saw Xiang Gexuan, whom she had never met before. She smiled and extended her right hand to her, saying, "Hello, I'm Shuzi. You must be the Gexuan that Ahu mentioned?"
"Yes, hello." Xiang Gexuan stood up and shook her hand in return.
"You can just call me Sister Zi, just like Ah Hu does."
The three of them sat down and ordered a hot pot with two broths.
Qiu Hu joked, "Now you have someone to eat hot pot with, right?" What she really meant was, I won't eat hot pot with you, but I've found someone to eat hot pot with you.
Shuzi is 24 years old this year, two years older than Qiu Hu. She studied pastry and psychology at a university abroad.
As they chatted, the conversation turned to their careers. Shuzi was being urged by her family to return to Qincheng Prison, where she planned to open a dessert shop called "zizi." "I haven't chosen a location yet, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me to handle, but we can see each other more often in the future."
"This is a good idea. It's really hard to find someone who's on the same wavelength as me when it comes to eating hot pot," Xiang Gexuan said.
Shuzi raised an eyebrow and joked, "I hope all of you ladies will visit our store more often in the future!"
Qiu Hu had tried the desserts she made and thought there was absolutely no problem with them. "Sister Zi's desserts are really delicious, there's definitely no problem with them."
"Really? I'll try it next time."
"Of course, but I'm still a little nervous about opening my first shop."
They ate hotpot for three hours, mostly chatting. Xiang Gexuan suggested they move on to another venue to continue having fun, but Shuzi had to go home and left first, leaving Qiu Hu and Xiang Gexuan to move on to a music bar.
The melancholic melody was accompanied by intermittent soft voices; this place was perfect for talking, as those far away couldn't hear a word you were saying.
"Actually, Sister Zi has a child who is already over three years old." Qiu Hu dropped a bombshell.
Xiang Gexuan was very surprised, her eyes widened, "What, she's married?" She didn't look like she had a child at all, she was cheerful and generous with a bright and unrestrained spirit.
"No, she wasn't married. This is her child with her first love."
"But is this something that can be said?"
"Yes, she didn't say it just now, but she wanted me to say it. Maybe she was afraid you would mind, but I know you won't."
"I advise you to explain in detail so that I can consider it."
"They were classmates, they knew each other since junior high, and later got together. But after being hurt and disappointed for a long time, they broke up. But do you know who her first love was? It was Shao Ling. You can guess why they broke up after that."
"Could it be because of that mess between Shao Ling and Jiang Yun? My god, that's so dramatic. No wonder you looked at Shao Ling like that last time."
"What kind of look is that?" Was it really that obvious? Ning Yizhan said the same thing.
"Judging from his impatient and displeased look, it turns out he was standing up for Sister Zi."
