It was half a month later when I saw Su Wanwan again. During this time, she hadn't come to find me.
Looking at this familiar face, I felt surprisingly calm.
There was no longer the deep pain of entanglement from before, nor the occasional secret joy I used to steal.
Perhaps this was a sign that I had let go of He Xiao.
Su Wanwan's complexion was somewhat pale, and she looked much more haggard.
I frowned slightly and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
I reached out to touch her forehead, but she instinctively dodged.
Biting her lip, she looked at me with a complex expression and asked, "Qingyu, how are you and Qi Qianyu doing?"
I remained silent for a moment before replying softly, "I agreed to him."
My best friend was momentarily taken aback, then she sighed in relief.
I lowered my gaze, feeling a bit bitter inside.
Indeed, she knew that I liked He Xiao.
When I returned home, Qi Qianyu was already there.
He was sitting in the courtyard idly teasing the koi fish while waiting for me, carelessly scattering fish feed in his hand, with a bag of snacks beside him.
Seeing me, he smiled and said, "The Peach Blossom Pastry from this snack shop is really delicious; you should try it."
I took the Peach Blossom Pastry and walked into the Pavilion with him. The tea on the stone table was still warm, so it seemed he hadn't waited long.
I casually asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
He shook his head, "Not yet. I’ve been in line since early morning."
I glanced at him, "Why?"
He scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. "This shop's pastries are hard to get. I couldn't forget the taste after trying them once, and I wanted you to have a taste too."
I was taken aback for a moment, feeling a warmth rise in my heart.
Whenever I was with him, I always felt a long-lost warmth and happiness.
I patted his head, "I'll have someone bring us some food."
His eyes lit up, "Great!"
I smiled, "You must be starving."
His cheeks turned slightly red as he awkwardly turned his face away.
The weather was nice today. Qi Qianyu took me for a stroll around the city.
At noon, Qi Qianyu said his mother missed me and invited me to their residence for a visit.
The Ye Family and the Qi Family have been family friends for generations, and Lady Qi has always treated me well, so I had no reason to refuse.
This was my first time stepping into Qi Qianyu's courtyard. In his study, I saw the portraits he had painted of me.
There were images of me happy, angry, mischievous and playful, and sad with tears…
In the painting, I appear in various expressions, vivid and lively.
I looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you like me so much?"
He was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Do you remember when you helped me find the jade pendant when we were kids?"
"Huh?" I paused, "When was that?"
He smiled, but a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. "When I was eight, my parents took me to Ye Residence as guests. I lost the jade pendant my mother gave me and ended up crying in the garden."
I blinked, trying to recall. "Now that you mention it, I remember. You were so small back then, like a little bean, squatting alone in the corner looking helpless."
"I asked you what was wrong, and you told me you lost the jade pendant your mother gave you."
"I comforted you, saying that the pendant must still be in the residence and might have been blown into some corner by the wind."
"You believed me and followed me to look for the pendant."
"We searched for a long time, almost turning the entire residence upside down, until we finally found it in a small corner."
"You were so happy that you jumped into my arms and cried."
Qi Qianyu cleared his throat and blushed. "At that time, I thought to myself, this big sister is really nice; I wish I could always be with her."
I quietly watched him, feeling an inexplicable surge of emotion.
It turned out that even when we were so young, he had already held me in his heart.
It turned out that our bond had begun long ago.
A few days later, I received a letter.
It was written by He Xiao.
He asked me why I was with Qi Qianyu.
He said he wanted to meet me and had something to say.
I was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit uncomfortable inside.
What is he doing?
Is he questioning me?
Did he ever consider my feelings when he was with Su Wanwan?
Now that I am with Qi Qianyu, he comes to question me instead.
Does he really think that I can only revolve around him?
I crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
He still hasn't changed.
He's still so selfish, so self-righteous.
He only thinks about his own feelings and never considers others.
He doesn't want to be with me, yet he doesn't allow me to be with anyone else.
Does he really think I'm his accessory?
I've decided to ignore him and no longer meet with him.
In the days that followed, I spent more and more time with Qi Qianyu.
We attended school together, studied together, and practiced martial arts together.
He would accompany me to watch operas, take me out for delicious meals, and join me for horseback riding and hunting.
He listened to me attentively and offered me advice.
When we were apart, I would think of him, miss his smile, his warmth, and everything about him.
In my heart, he became increasingly important.
I also became more dependent on him.
I hoped he would always be by my side.
I think I might have really fallen for him.
Qi Qianyu said he wanted to marry me.
Our parents readily agreed.
Qi Qianyu and I became engaged, deciding to marry at the end of the year.
