The sturdy branches of the willow trees by the lake hang lightly above the water. The sun shines on the willow trees, casting mottled shadows on the water, like the thoughts of a little girl, which clearly exist but she doesn't know how to express them.
Yan Fangxiu was attracted by a few children flying kites in the distance.
She told her sister, but she didn't respond, so she had to tell Zhao Beichen, "Professor Zhao, I'm going to play with those kids over there for a while. I'll leave Ruyu to you."
"Okay." Zhao Beichen responded.
Not long after Yan Fangxiu left, Yan Ruyu temporarily pulled herself away from her worries. When she turned around, she found that her sister was missing.
"Professor Zhao, where is my sister? Why is she gone?!"
Zhao Beichen raised his hand and pointed at the few people squatting not far away.
"Miss Fangxiu said she wanted to go over there and play with some kids for a while."
Yan Ruyu looked in the direction of his finger and saw her sister with the child.
The worry that had just risen to my throat slowly eased away.
Yan Ruyu sat down again and suddenly felt uneasy. This was the first time she felt this way because of Zhao Beichen's presence.
Zhao Beichen seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with her.
He asked with concern, "Miss Ruyu, are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Beichen nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
After the two of them were silent for a moment, Zhao Beichen suddenly moved a little towards Yan Ruyu, but stopped at a distance that would not make Yan Ruyu feel disgusted.
His move was quite significant, so Yan Ruyu naturally noticed it and watched from the corner of her eye to see what he was going to do next.
Zhao Beichen did nothing. He just put one hand on the railing behind him and looked at Yan Ruyu with his body slightly tilted.
Yan Ruyu didn't know why, but when he kept staring at her like that, her face felt inexplicably hot. Her lips moved and her head moved imperceptibly.
Zhao Beichen saw that she was uncomfortable, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the candied haws she had carried along the way, he slowly spoke, "Miss Ruyu, don't you feel tired carrying these candied haws along the way?"
When Yan Ruyu heard his words, she subconsciously raised her hand and looked down at the candied haws in her hand.
The candied haws has remained the same since she took a bite.
"Not bad." Yan Ruyu replied.
Zhao Beichen was stunned by Yan Ruyu, who spoke little and did not react strongly.
This person he was familiar with was different...
Could it be that the candied haws I bought are not tasty?
But if it didn't taste good, Miss Fangxiu would eat all of it.
Zhao Beichen pondered for a long time before slowly asking, "This candied haws, since it came into Miss Ruyu's hands, it seems that she has only taken a bite. Could it be that this candied haws is not delicious?"
"But if it's not delicious, there are still many people buying it. Besides, I saw that Miss Fangxiu was eating it well. Could it be that the candied haws don't suit Miss Ruyu's taste?"
After hearing his repeated questioning, Yan Ruyu clenched the candied haws tightly in her hand.
[Professor Zhao, why do you have so many questions today? You didn't buy this candied haws for yourself, so why do you keep asking me what I think? Didn't you buy it for your sister? Isn't it enough for my sister to eat it? ]
[How should I answer him? I am not his sister, and I cannot tell you how his sister feels about this candied haws. Otherwise, I can just say something to get by.]
[Really? I just brought one extra candied haws out of courtesy. What's there to ask?]
When Zhao Beichen heard the words ringing in his ears, he showed a thoughtful expression and frowned slightly.
What is she talking about?
Why is it that the candied haws were not bought for her but for her sister?
When did I say that this candied haws was bought for Miss Fangxiu?
I don't think I've ever said this, why would she think this way...
Wait, could it be...
Could it be that she had held the candied haws in her hand until now and had only taken one bite, just because... because in her heart, this candied haws was not given to her at all.
Not only that, she even thought that the candied haws I brought her was a gift for Miss Fangxiu, so I bought an extra one...
At this moment, Zhao Beichen couldn't tell what he felt, he was just completely shocked.
So, the happiness he had been having for such a long time was all just his imagination.
No wonder... No wonder he wasn't in a very good mood when he was in the teahouse. It turned out that he had misunderstood from the beginning until now...
If I hadn't been able to hear her inner voice, I'm afraid that when she knew about this, she would have already arranged for me to be with Miss Fangxiu, or some other woman!
Zhao Beichen really wanted to open her head and see what she was thinking.
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and was about to say something, but Zhao Beichen noticed and immediately took the lead.
"Miss Ruyu, I understand. You must feel that this candied haws I bought for you is not to your taste, right? Well, I'll buy you another one next time."
Yan Ruyu's expression paused when she heard the key words in his words.
"Bought it especially for me?"
Zhao Beichen nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course."
Afraid that she still misunderstood, Zhao Beichen explained his inner thoughts to her.
"It's like this. We went to Jiangcheng to participate in the International Mental Arithmetic Competition. When we were out playing, we passed by so many stalls and bought everything. But the first thing you bought was candied haws."
"I made a note at the time that Miss Ruyu must like eating candied haws very much, so when I saw this unique candied haws today, I went to buy it. Unexpectedly, the taste was not to Miss Ruyu's taste..."
As he spoke, there was not only a sense of loss, but also a subtle hint of grievance.
Yan Ruyu felt her head buzzing when she heard what he said.
He looked down at the candied haws in his hand in disbelief.
Is this candied haws really not bought for my sister? Is it really bought for myself?
Although Zhao Beichen had explained it very clearly, Yan Ruyu still wanted to make it clearer.
"Professor Zhao, are you sure that this candied haws was bought specially for me, not for my sister?"
"I'm not doubting Professor Zhao's intention, it's just that my sister really likes to eat candied haws, I'm afraid my sister will misunderstand."
For some reason, Yan Ruyu always felt that what she was saying now sounded like a very weird person, but she couldn't tell what kind of person it was.
