Bai Er shuddered, getting goosebumps from a short distance away.
When their master was punishing them, he was ruthless. The eldest brother was so angry and irritable that he was furious every day.
But is this person really their master?
Gu Xin had a strange feeling in her heart; she was happy to hear such an answer, but she also felt somewhat uneasy.
In all her life, apart from feeling embarrassed, scared, helpless, and ashamed when she was bullied, she had never felt shy.
She felt her face getting hot.
She was a little hesitant to look Yuan Yuan into his eyes, but she looked at him with great determination: "Happy birthday, Yuan Yuan."
Lu Zheng extended a fist: "Happy birthday, my little Xin Xin!"
After saying that, he opened his fist, and a red, heart-shaped gemstone fell out of his palm, dangling in front of Gu Xin.
Under the moonlight and illuminated by the surrounding lights, the gemstones refracted beautiful colors.
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Wow! So beautiful!"
Lu Zheng smiled and put it around her neck: "Isn't it pretty! I picked this out from a bunch of colorful stones. You are Xin Xin, so I shaped it into a heart for you."
Lu Zheng put the necklace on her, getting quite close, and Gu Xin smelled the faint herbal scent on Lu Zheng.
Yuan Yuan Ge always smells like this, I'm used to it, so why do I feel a little nervous today?
Grandma Xiao's place had many medicinal herbs, and her clothes, washed and dried in the yard, would absorb the smell of herbs. So, for the past few years, Lu Zheng had always smelled of herbs, and Gu Xin had long been used to it.
However, she didn't understand why she was nervous and why her heart was beating so fast.
Lu Zheng didn't notice anything unusual about Gu Xin. He put the necklace on her, took a step back, and looked down at Gu Xin: "There's another bag at home. I'll bring it to you tomorrow. You can use it to set into your favorite jewelry."
Gu Xin took a deep breath and looked up: "Oh."
Lu Zheng pinched her cheek again: "Why do you seem so dull? Haven't you gotten used to Kuncheng yet?"
Gu Xin shook her head and slapped away his hand that was pinching her face: "Brother Yuanyuan, I smelled the herbs on you just now and I was a little nervous. Are you injured?"
Bai Er, who was not far away, almost burst out laughing. The boss was right. Miss Gu was smart in everything, but she was a little silly in this respect.
Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, but after understanding, he was naturally delighted and shook his head, saying, "I'm not injured. You're nervous because you haven't seen me in a long time and you miss me so much. You got nervous when I suddenly appeared! Actually, I was quite nervous when I first saw you too."
Gu Xin's eyes flickered: "Really?"
Lu Zheng reached out and took Gu Xin's hand: "Yes. Let's go, I'll take you to the best place to stargaze."
Gu Xin instinctively pulled her hand back, her nervousness intensifying.
It's not like I haven't walked hand in hand with Yuanyuan before, just like when I held hands with my sisters, Enzi, and Renren!
Why am I suddenly feeling a bit nervous today?
Lu Zheng stopped and looked at Gu Xin: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xin frowned slightly, her face serious: "Brother Yuanyuan, I've discovered something incredible."
Lu Zheng: "What is it?"
Gu Xin: "Answer me one question first, and then I'll tell you what I discovered."
Gu Xin felt terrible. Before, she had only thought that if Yuan Yuan's sweetheart was really her, she would just treat Yuan Yuan as her sweetheart.
But right now, she doesn't know if Yuanyuan's sweetheart is her, but it seems like her heart has automatically been filled with her. What should she do?
What if Yuanyuan's crush isn't her?
