Fu Tingyu hummed in a low voice.
Qin Shu was stunned. The ginkgo tree planted under the balcony was personally cultivated by Fu Tingyu?
That ginkgo tree was strong and had luxuriant branches and leaves. It must be at least six or seven years old.
The leaves of the ginkgo tree had always been golden yellow. It looked beautiful when the light shone against it.
Fu Tingyu had started cultivating it six or seven years ago.
No, it was impossible to cultivate a ginkgo tree successfully in one go.
In other words, Fu Tingyu had started cultivating ginkgo trees even earlier.
It was unknown how long it had taken him to cultivate a successful new variety of ginkgo trees.
Qin Shu looked at Fu Tingyu in disbelief. Was this a coincidence?
Qin Shu ate the meal with her mind wandering.
During this time, Fu Tingyu placed several dishes into her bowl and said, “Eat more. You’re too thin.”
When he hugged her at night, he would say that she was too thin and that her bones poked at him.
For this reason, she, who usually only ate one bowl of rice, ate two bowls especially, hoping that she could fatten up as soon as possible.
Xu Wei watched as Fu Tingyu placed the food into Qin Shu’s bowl. Her heart was aching, but she still had to maintain a dignified and indifferent look.
After dinner, the group walked out of the living room and went to the backyard.
The old-fashioned courtyard, pavilion, circular doorway, and stone bridge were all scenic spots.
Fu Tingyu held Qin Shu’s hand and walked in front, taking them to see the ginkgo tree.
It was late at night. Even though there were street lamps, Xu Wei and Fu Tingyan supported the old madam on both sides when they crossed the stone bridge.
Xu Wei held the old madam’s arm. She looked at the two people in front of her walking forward hand in hand at a leisurely pace. Her heart grew more and more jealous.
When they reached the stone arch bridge, she reminded the old madam, “Grandma, be careful.”
The old madam looked at the dark marble steps and sighed. “It’s already dark. Wearing reading glasses won’t even help anymore.”
Fu Tingyan supported the old madam with one hand and patted his chest with the other. “I’m here. Grandma, don’t worry. Just walk forward boldly.
Fu Tingyu turned around and said, “I’ll get someone to install lights on the side of the road tomorrow.”
The old madam was very happy when she heard this. “Sure. This way, we won’t need them to help us when we visit the back garden in the future.”
After walking for about five minutes, they arrived under the ginkgo tree.
There were dozens of lights lit around the ginkgo tree. Among the golden leaves, countless wind chimes fluttered in the wind, emitting waves of melodious bell sounds.
The old madam raised her head and looked at the somewhat old ginkgo tree. It had been personally nurtured by her grandson, and it was indeed very good.
Xu Wei looked at the ginkgo tree in front of her. Whether it was its appearance or the elaborate decorations, one could see the intentions of the person who had cultivated it.
Had Fu Tingyu really fallen for Qin Shu?
Fu Tingyan looked at the ginkgo tree covered with wind chimes. These should have been meticulously prepared by his brother for Qin Shu.
Just as they were admiring the ginkgo tree, Fu Tingyu held Qin Shu’s hand and walked to the triangular gazebo on the other side.
Qin Shu did not know what he wanted to do, but she did not ask him and just followed the man obediently.
There was only one lamp at the top of the gazebo which emitted a faint light.
Fu Tingyu pinned Qin Shu against the pillar of the gazebo and looked at the girl’s uneasy eyes under the weak light. The girl looked as if she had been seen through.
In front of Fu Tingyu, who was half a head taller than her, Qin Shu needed to raise her head slightly to see the man’s face. “Why did you drag me here?”
..
..
Fu Tingyan didn’t see his brother when he turned around. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the two people in the gazebo.
He, who had never been in a relationship before, blushed inexplicably when he saw the two of them kissing. His face felt as if it was on fire.
