”It’s simple. My home is far from here, and I wouldn’t normally pass by this place, so we couldn’t have met by chance. The only remaining answer is that I specifically came here to wait for you. You see me looking haggard, gazing at you with deep affection, hehe, which proves that although I said I came to say goodbye, I actually missed you too much… and couldn’t help wanting to see you.”
”Jiale…” This confession was so unique that it made her want to cry.
”So,” he took a deep breath, forcing a smile like her, “when you first saw me, you shouldn’t have asked why I was here.”
He affectionately tweaked her nose and took the last opportunity to “harass” her.
”Oh. So this is how the deduction game is played,” she smiled softly, “I understand.”
”Since you understand, let’s play another,” he suddenly turned serious: “When you return from Paris and see me again, there are two possible reactions: first, still wary of me as Jia De’s brother, ignoring me; second, no longer caring about my background, willing to reconcile as before. Which do you think?”
”I… I don’t know.” She turned her head away, not letting him see her glistening tears.
”Silly student,” he tapped her head again, “go to France and think about this question, and give me an answer when you return.”
”Okay.” His gaze collided with her heart, forcing her to look elsewhere. “Look, there’s a beautiful clothing store!” she pointed to the roadside.
”You’re not asking me to buy you clothes, are you?” Even in great sorrow, he could still smile elegantly.
”Yes, you guessed right!” She pouted, “You’ve been my boyfriend for so long, and you’ve never bought me a beautiful dress. You brothers are both stingy.”
”Oh my,” Pei Jiale exclaimed, “hasn’t my brother bought you a dress?”
”He just had his secretary buy one, never personally accompanied me.”
”Okay, I’ll fulfill your wish today.” He nodded.
Qiu Yuting laughed triumphantly and entered the store with him.
The store was full of various new styles of clothing, almost overwhelming Qiu Yuting. Finally, he gave a professional opinion and chose a sea-blue dress for her.
She wore it, walking lightly in front of him, like a droplet from the sea, fresh and pleasant.
