“Really? That’s great!” Su Jiu was overjoyed. She immediately turned around to choose the little turtles.
Rong Si looked down at her fair profile, his deep eyes shining with a soft and doting light. A few girls passing by the shop couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.
After buying two little turtles, Su Jiu said to Rong Si, “These two little turtles are for you. Remember to feed them.”
“Why are they for me?”
“Because…” Su Jiu puffed out her cheeks and gloomily said, “Because I’m going back soon. When I go back, you’ll be alone here again. So here are two little turtles to keep you company. When you see them, you’ll remember me!”
Rong Si went silent for two seconds. He then glanced at the little turtle and back at Su Jiu. “On closer inspection, I suddenly think you look a little like them.”
“How so?” When he said she looked like a turtle, it didn’t sound like a compliment.
Sure enough, Rong Si seemed to smile and say, “You’re just as silly.”
Actually, he didn’t need anything to be reminded of her. Thinking of her was a habit he had cultivated for years. He couldn’t change it even if he wanted to.
Su Jiu got furious. “If you call me silly, I’ll ignore you!”
Rong Si’s eyes darkened. He wanted to kiss her, but it was inappropriate at this location, so he controlled himself. The boy only reached out and pinched her cheek. “Don’t ignore me.”
He couldn’t accept that.
Looking at his serious expression, Su Jiu chuckled. She felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart. “That depends on you!”

Back at the apartment, Su Jiu browsed the Internet for tickets back to Vienna, while Rong Si sat by the windows, playing with the two little turtles.
To prevent the little turtles from crawling around, Su Jiu had bought a fish tank for them. Seeing Rong Si playing with them for a while, she was a little surprised. “Big Brother, why are you staring at the turtles for so long? Are you planning to study them?”
Earlier, Rong Si had said that he didn’t like them. Now, he seemed even more interested in them than she was.
“I’m trying to see which one looks better.”
“Huh?” Su Jiu was puzzled. “Don’t they look the same? I don’t see any difference.”
“Of course, there’s a difference. There’s bound to be a difference. I want to find the better-looking one.”
Rong Si continued to observe the two little turtles under the light. “Because I plan to carve my name and yours on their shells. Yours will look better than mine.”
Su Jiu was stunned. “Why?”
Rong Si tilted his head to look at the girl. In the yellow light, his smile was breathtaking. “Of course, to give it to you.”
Su Jiu was stunned again. Her heart suddenly felt warm as if she were wrapped in cotton.
What kind of precious boyfriend is he? That’s too heartwarming, isn’t it?
She hurried over to observe with him. “No, you’re prettier than I am, so you can have the good-looking one.”
Rong Si’s smile deepened when she said he looked good. “You take it.”
“No, You take it!”
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the apartment door.
Su Jiu frowned. Who would be looking for the little villain at a time like this?
“I’ll get it!” She moved quickly to the door and opened it. However, her expression hardened when she saw who was standing outside the door.
“What are you doing here?” Su Jiu’s tone was unfriendly.
