Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After hearing her words, Han Xiao turned his head to look at her, feeling as if they were back in the days of Qi Mountain when she would talk to him in such a light tone, straightforward and innocent.
She said those words purely for his sake.
Only now did he understand why she said when he woke up, “Let me be your girlfriend, okay?”
At that time, he treated the little girl as his sister, so he did not respond or think too much about it.
However, he had thought that she would always be by his side.
At that time, Qin Shu was still young, so Han Xiao did not respond, nor did he think much about it.
Han Xiao was so good to her, so she thought he liked her, just like how she liked him.
One month before he left the mountain, Qin Shu had said to him, “Ling Han, my home is in Jiangcheng. If you can find me, I’ll be your girlfriend. How about that?”
When he heard this, he nodded without thinking, because after he left the mountain, he would definitely look for her. As for why he would look for her, he had not thought it through.
However, when he heard her last words, he felt that it was a good reason to look for her.
The rumor that Ling Bao would marry Ling Han, for some unknown reason, spread in Qi mountain. Everyone in Qi mountain knew that Ling Bao and Ling Han were a couple.
Sometimes, they would joke about it in front of them.
Ling Bao was still young at that time, so when she heard it, she did not think much of it, because she had indeed said those words, and there was no reason to deny it.
Ling Han had always been a man of few words, so he only maintained his silence.
For others, it was a silent confirmation.
Ling Han was so good to Ling Bao that everyone thought that she was his future wife.
This was why Qin Shu was so sad when Han Xiao suddenly left the mountain.
Qin Shu did not remember what happened after Han Xiao left the mountain.
However, she remembered that the person who accompanied her that day was Ling Yan, an extremely good-looking young man with a sharp tongue.
Especially after the news of her marrying Han Xiao spread, the relationship between her and Ling Han became tense again.
If she had to define her feelings for Han Xiao at that time, it would probably be that he was her would-be boyfriend.
At that time she was too young and knew little about feelings.
If she didn’t lose her memory and didn’t meet Fu Tingyu, she thought that she would like Han Xiao when he found her.
Han Xiao looked at Qin Shu. She was very different from ten years ago. Now she could explain things more clearly than ten years ago.
He was silent for a while and suddenly asked, “Then, if I found you and you were not with Fu Tingyu and didn’t have memory loss, would you be my girlfriend?”
Qin Shu answered without hesitation, “Yes.”
Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly felt better. It had been ten years. The girl in his memories was ignorant about feelings, which was why he didn’t respond at that time.
But it was different now. If Qin Shu said she would, then she definitely would.
However, Fate played tricks on them. Separation and amnesia were enough to change many things.
Jun Li played with Xiao Jiu for a while. When he raised his head, he saw Han Xiao and Qin Shu. From the corner of his eye, he saw Fu Tingyu walking over. He looked at Xiao Jiu and then squatted down and whispered something into his ear.
Xiao Jiu nodded. “Uncle Jun, come and play with me again tomorrow.”
Jun Li smiled and said, “Okay.”
Xiao Jiu turned around and ran away.
Fu Tingyu heard these two sentences. He stopped in his tracks and looked towards the corridor. The two figures, one tall and one short, were still talking. His lips pursed into a straight line.
“Dad, where’s Mom?”
He heard the voice and lowered his head. He saw his son grabbing his leg pant and looking up at him.
He paused and turned his head to look at the two people at the end of the corridor. He pointed with his finger and said, “Your mom is over there. Go to her yourself.”
“Okay, Dad.” Xiao Jiu turned around and ran in the direction that Fu Tingyu pointed at. Quickly, he ran to Qin Shu’s side and grabbed her hand. “Mom.”
Qin Shu looked down at her son. “Xiao Jiu, why are you here?”
“I didn’t see you, so I came out to look for you.” He looked up at Han Xiao again. “Uncle Han.”
Han Xiao looked down at the boy. “Xiao Jiu is very smart. He is much better than other boys of his age.”
“Thank you for your compliment, Uncle Han.” Xiao Jiu smiled at Qin Shu. “Mom, have you eaten? I saw that you only drank wine.”
“Not yet.” Qin Shu was touched by the boy’s consideration.
At this time, Han Xiao said, “Let’s go back.”
“Okay.” Qin Shu held her son’s hand and returned to the dining room with Han Xiao.
At the dining table, everyone was still drinking.
Qin Shu looked at Fu Tingyu and found that he was still drinking. She walked over and sat down beside him when she heard the man ask, “Are you done chatting?”
“Yeah.” Qin Shu tilted her head and looked at the man. His expression was the same as before she left, but his tone didn’t sound right.
Yan Shuang raised her head and looked at Han Xiao and Qin Shu who had walked in together. She then looked at Fu Tingyu. He had come in alone just now.
Everyone had drunk quite a lot during dinner, and they walked a little unsteadily.
Qin Shu let Xiao Jiu walk in front while she supported the Fu Tingyu. At this moment, he was tipsy, but not drunk.
“Fortunately, I’m not drunk. Otherwise, both of us would need help walking.”
The man turned his head and stared at the girl. “Even if you’re not drunk, I can still hold you.”
Qin Shu was puzzled. “Huh?”
The man did not explain. Instead, he brushed her hands off and bent down to carry her horizontally. Then, he walked into the courtyard.
“Aren’t you drunk?” Qin Shu hurriedly put her arms around the man’s neck to maintain her balance.
“I am.” Fu Tingyu didn’t lie. He had drunk a little too much tonight and was a little tipsy.
Qin Shu looked at him worriedly. “Then why do you carry me?”
“Do I need a reason to carry you?” The man asked.
Qin Shu paused. “I’m afraid that you might fall.”
“I’m still carrying you. I won’t fall,” the man said with great certainty.
Qin Shu didn’t say anything else. She just stared at the man.
Xiao Jiu, who was walking before them, thought that Fu Tingyu and Qin Shu were no different to him if they were drunk or not.
He walked alone.
He bathed by himself.
He slept by himself.
Before entering his room, Xiao Jiu said good night to them.
Qin Shu looked at her son’s small figure. Other children of his age still needed help to bath and someone to tuck in before sleep.
She felt both touched and satisfied.
She was touched that at such a young age, he had to learn how to be independent.
She was satisfied that not only was he sensible, he didn’t need them to worry about him.
