Initially, Qin Shu was stunned when she heard this, then she shook her head. “I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard of it. It makes people yearn for it.”
Something seemed to have crossed Jun Li’s mind. He sounded a little regretful. “I heard that the venue was closed yesterday and it would be closed for three days from today. Otherwise, I could have gone there today. It’s a bit of a pity.”
“That is right. If not, I could have gone for a horse ride. I would have enjoyed it.” Qin Shu said without feeling a sense of guilt.
“There will always be another opportunity.” The corner of Jun Li’s mouth curved up with a half smile. “Do you have any candy?”
Candy? Qin Shu was stupefied. This was the first time that she encountered a man who asked her for candy. Is there a man who liked to eat candy?
“I don’t have any candy.” Qin Shu looked around and found a candy shop. She pointed to that shop and looked at Jun Li. “Look, there’s a candy shop. if you want to eat it, you can go there and buy some.”
Jun Li’s gaze followed the direction that she was pointing at and saw a candy shop. He looked at her. “Do you want to buy some?”
Qin Shu was a little tempted. In fact, she intended to buy some. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said, “Let’s go together. I’ll buy some.”
Qin Shu carried her backpack and walked briskly towards the candy store with Jun Li following her.
In the candy store, Qin Shu took out a convenience bag and began to choose her favorite flavor candies.
Jun Li stood beside her in the shop. With his slender figure, he looked at her choosing the candies. A smile unconsciously appeared on his gentle face.
Qin Shu noticed that Jun Li had been standing beside her and had no intention of buying candy. She asked, “Don’t you want to eat candy? Why don’t you buy some?”
Jun Li replied, “I don’t buy candy.”
Qin Shu stopped choosing the candies and looked at him puzzled. “If you want to eat candy, why don’t you buy some? Buy more of it so that you can eat it anytime you want.”
Jun Li chuckled. “I don’t eat the candy that I bought.”
“Why?” Qin Shu’s eyes were filled with curiosity. How could he not eating the candy he bought himself?
Jun Li’s gaze turned to the glass drawer filled with candies. He picked up one of the candies and looked at her. “Because they’re not sweet.”
“Do you mean that the candy you that you bought yourself is not sweet?” Qin Shu recalled how many times he had asked her for candy and she seemed to understand it now. “The candy that others gave you is sweeter?”
Jun Li shook his head. “No, the candy that you gave me is sweeter.”
Qin Shu was stunned. She didn’t understand what this meant. What did he mean by the candy that she gave was sweeter?
Jun Li put the candy in his hand into the pile of candy. Seeing her puzzled face, he didn’t explain because he also didn’t know why the candy that she gave was sweeter?
Qin Shu carried the convenience bag, weighed it, and then went to the counter to pay.
Jun Li followed her unhurriedly.
When she walked towards the counter, Jun Li took out his card and handed it to the cashier. “Use my card.”
The cashier looked up and saw a very handsome man. Her eyes instantly lit up. He was extremely handsome.
At this moment, Qin Shu also took out her card. When she handed it to the cashier, she saw Jun Li also holding the card.
She said hurriedly, “Use my card. Thank you.”
A man and a woman were shopping. The cashier naturally took the card from the man.
“Since you have a boyfriend, let him pay.” The cashier thought that Qin Shu was embarrassed.
Being misunderstood, Qin Shu explained quickly, “He’s not my boyfriend.”
The cashier was stupefied. She couldn’t believe it. A handsome guy took the initiative to pay for a girl indicated that he liked her but the girl said that he wasn’t her boyfriend?
Jun Li looked at Qin Shu “Even if I am not your boyfriend, it’s the money I paid for the candy. You can give me the candy later.”
Qin Shu glanced at Jun Li. The candy was not expensive but she was not used to letting others pay.
The cashier had swiped his card. Jun Li entered the password, and the cashier handed the candy to Qin Shu.
“He’s so handsome. If he wants to pursue you, don’t reject him. Otherwise, he’ll be pursued by other girls,” The cashier whispered in her ear.
Qin Shu looked at the warm-hearted cashier and smiled awkwardly. “Thank you for your kindness. We are just normal friends.”
She deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
The cashier was stunned.
Qin Shu held the convenience bag, smiled at the cashier, and left the shop.
Jun Li kept his card and followed her out of the shop.
When he caught up with her, he said, “She’s just a stranger. You don’t have to keep in the heart of what she said.”
“You are right, but it’s better to explain than not to.”
Actually, Qin Shu did not take note of what the cashier said. She explained so that Jun Li would not be embarrassed.
Jun Li just smiled and did not utter a single word.
Qin Shu opened the convenience bag and grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to him. “Didn’t you want to eat candy? Here.”
Jun Li looked at her hand. He took one of the candy. “Just one will do.”
Qin Shu saw that he took only one candy and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you like to eat candy? Why don’t you take more?”
Jun Li shook his head. “I don’t like to eat candy.”
Qin Shu suddenly felt that the person in front of her was a little contradictory. He was the one who wanted to eat candy but now he said he didn’t like to eat candy.
“You’re really different from others.”
Jun Li curled his lips casually. “Are we going back now?”
Qin Shu nodded. “Yes, there’s nothing else to buy.”
Jun Li asked, “Do you have a car?”
“Yes, it’s parked outside.”
Hearing that, Jun Li didn’t ask anymore and followed Qin Shu out of the shopping mall.
The sun was shining brightly.
Qin Shu turned to look at Jun Li beside her. Under the sunlight, his skin looked more pale. Each time she saw him, there would be a gentle light flashing in his purple eyes. She couldn’t help but think that an extremely gentle person like him, time and fate will be kind to him.
“I’ll go back first.”
With that, she walked towards the parking lot.
Jun Li remained standing there, watching her until she disappeared from his view. He lowered his eyes, opened his palm, picked up a candy, peeled off the wrapping paper, and put it into his mouth.
A sweet taste spread throughout his mouth.
Why does it taste so sweet?

In the hotel room, Fu Tingyu still had not come back when Qin Shu entered the room. She sat at the table, took out the notebook and with the pen from her backpack, she began to copy that sentence, ‘I love Fu Tingyu’, a thousand times. This would take a long time to write.
She sat upright at the table and wrote every single word very seriously.
However, when she thought about the promise that she had made to him, her face turned red like an apple.
Just as Qin Shu was copying and concentrating, the door of the guest room which had been left ajar was pushed open. A slender figure walked in to the room, but Qin Shu was unaware of it.
