When Xu Tingchuan came out, he saw Ni Sitian tearing open the packaging of a band-aid. He quickly walked over, picked up her hand to look at it, and frowned slightly: "How could you be so careless?"
"It's okay, it's just a small scratch." Ni Sitian withdrew her hand and prepared to put on a band-aid herself.
Xu Tingchuan pulled her hand back, took the band-aid, and carefully applied it to her hand.
Ni Sitian looked at his lowered face, his long eyelashes obscuring his eyes, but she could feel his thoughtfulness and gentleness.
"Tingchuan..." she couldn't help but call out to him softly.
After Xu Tingchuan finished applying the patch, he looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ni Sitian pursed her lips, hesitating to speak: "I went shopping with Jiayue this afternoon, Jiayue..."
"Hmm?" Xu Tingchuan waited patiently for him to continue.
Ni Sitian hesitated before asking the question, then changed the subject: "Does Jiayue like Gu Chen?"
Xu Tingchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Jiayue told you?"
"I sensed it myself; she acted strangely when Wen Nuan and Gu Chen were mentioned."
“Jia Yue does like Gu Chen, but Gu Chen rejected her confession three years ago, and then she went abroad to study.” Xu Tingchuan sighed and said. On one side is his sister, and on the other is his friend. Of course, he would be happy to see it happen, but unfortunately, feelings are the most difficult thing in the world to force.
“Uh…” Ni Sitian was a little surprised. Jia Yue was beautiful, from a good family, smart, and had a cheerful personality. It seemed that there was no reason for anyone not to like her.
“You misunderstood Jia Yue before, thinking I was having an affair. That was because she had just returned to the country and learned that Gu Chen had proposed to Fu Wennuan, which is why she got drunk.” Xu Tingchuan pursed his lips. “You’ve already met Fu Wennuan. Gu Chen met her a year ago, started dating, proposed after two months, and they’re planning to have their wedding after the New Year.”
"They've only known each other for a year?" Ni Sitian was slightly surprised. Judging from Fu Wenuan's natural and intimate attitude towards Gu Chen, she thought they had been dating for at least a few years.
"So love has nothing to do with the length of time or who came first. If you like someone, you like them; if you don't like someone, you don't like them."
"You talk as if you know everything about love." Ni Sitian smiled, then suddenly, a glint appeared in her eyes, and she deliberately muttered, "You can't even tell the difference between childhood sweethearts and the feeling of being in love."
These words were meant to test Xu Tingchuan's reaction, but Xu Tingchuan's expression was very calm, and he even reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Your face is all pinched so big." Ni Sitian dodged away, not letting him pinch her anymore.
Xu Tingchuan chuckled and cupped her cheeks, giving them a good rub.
“I’m not dough!” Ni Sitian protested, reaching out to pinch Xu Tingchuan’s face.
The two laughed and joked for a while before going to the kitchen to cook the meal.
After finishing her meal, Ni Sitian went into her small study to continue drawing the homework assigned by Wu Miaoshui.
Wu Miaoshui's teaching style was a bit unconventional. During her two visits to his place, he didn't teach her anything specific; he only had her help him water the flowers in the yard.
The assignment was for her to simply draw ten things she liked. She had already drawn eight, but she couldn't think of the last two.
Sitting in front of the easel, deep in thought, I was quite troubled.
His eyes suddenly fell on the wedding ring on her hand, so he drew that ring on the drawing as well.
After finishing the drawing of the ring and turning the page, her pencil continued to move.
She naturally continued drawing, but after drawing an outline, she froze.
