Yu Qianqian lifted her chin with one hand, tilted her head back, and stood quietly with Su Yu under the plum blossom tree. She noticed that this man was also imitating her, lost in his own thoughts. At this moment, his facial expression was very strange due to various inner thoughts, and she couldn't describe what it felt like.
Unconsciously, they had been silent for a long time. Yu Qianqian turned her gaze, forced a smile, and gave him a very dreamy look. She was about to say that she was very tired and really wanted to leave this place.
Before she could utter a single word, Su Yu had already taken three steps at a time and approached her. His exceptionally handsome face gradually revealed a smile, and then he mysteriously rubbed his hands together behind his back a few times. Just when she wasn't paying attention, he presented her with a multicolored jeweled hairpin held in his palms.
"Qianqian, I hope you have a happy birthday!" After saying that, Su Yu quickly stuck the hairpin into her hair and then smiled with satisfaction herself.
"Birthday..." Yu Qianqian was stunned in confusion: "What birthday?"
As Su Yu rolled her dark, bright pupils around, she thought for a moment and then suddenly realized that today was actually her birthday.
She still remembered that the last time she celebrated her birthday was when her parents were still alive. She had just turned 18 back then, and now seven years had passed in the blink of an eye. Over time, she had completely forgotten about it.
However, she really couldn't figure out how Su Yu knew her birthday; it was just too unbelievable.
"Su Yu, thank you for being so thoughtful. I'm already happy that you remembered me, but I can't accept this gift." Yu Qianqian said, and was about to raise her hand to take off the gem hairpin. Before her hand could even touch her hair, Su Yu grabbed her hand and forcefully stopped her.
"Please, Qianqian, I hope you won't refuse me because of my sincerity, okay?" Su Yu pleaded with Yu Qianqian with a pained expression, revealing a pitiful look in her eyes, staring at her expectantly, almost bursting into tears.
This was the first time in her life that she had ever seen a grown man act so coquettishly. Yu Qianqian was completely dumbfounded. After Su Yu's antics, she had no choice but to give in. She quickly coaxed him gently, "Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you. I'll take the hairpin, alright?"
Hearing Yu Qianqian's words, Su Yu immediately perked up, his eyes fixed on her with a burning light. He mustered his courage and said, "Qianqian... you know I've always had ulterior motives towards you, I hope..."
He stared intently at the delicate woman before him, and before he knew it, he had stammered out incoherently. He had wasted all the words he had thought of for his confession, which was incredibly embarrassing for a man!
Yu Qianqian frowned, tilting her head in confusion as she asked him, "What do you mean by 'scheming'?"
Realizing his mistake, he blushed and quickly explained, "No, no, what I meant was, I... I like you. From the first time we met, I've liked you a lot, but I was afraid of being rejected, afraid of making you unhappy..."
Unbeknownst to her, Su Yu's tone had completely changed; her originally gentle voice had become increasingly intense, and she was almost unable to control her emotions.
At this moment, Yu Qianqian, who was standing right in front of him, had her face changing between fear and terror. She was clearly frightened and at a loss for what to do. She stared at him blankly and did not say a word for a long time.
After a slight pause, Su Yu's rapid breathing gradually subsided, but his heart was still pounding wildly with tension. Lowering his stance, he slowly widened his pupils and continued to ask her, "Qianqian, can you seriously consider being my woman?"
