After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

"..."

Qiu sighed softly, restrained his expression, and sat back in his original seat.

A moment later, Lin Chuan walked in with two bulging oil-paper bags in his hands.

"There were quite a lot of people lining up at that shop just now, so it took a little longer."

He sat down with a smile and pushed the oil-paper bag in front of Qiu.

"Young Master, please drink a cup of warm rice wine to warm yourself up."

As Qiu spoke, he reached out and picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass for Lin Chuan, his eyes still as gentle and docile as always.

"it is good."

Lin Chuan nodded, raised his hand to take the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

The warm wine slid down his throat, and the warmth slowly spread along his heart. He put down the empty cup and looked at Qiu Shi, the smile in his eyes still gentle: "The cakes in that shop smell delicious, come and open them and try them together."

"Uh-huh."

Qiu picked up the oil-paper package. The heavy feeling in her hand made her eyes flash with doubt, but she still untied it as she was told.

As the layers of oil paper faded away, a carved wooden box gradually emerged. The patterns on the box were exquisitely detailed, and the edges and corners were polished to be round and smooth. It was obvious at a glance that it was carefully crafted.

"Son..."

Qiu held the wooden box and looked up at Lin Chuan, with even more doubt in his eyes.

"Open it and you'll know."

Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a mischievous smile in his eyes.

"..."

Qiu shook his head and gently placed the wooden box on the table.

"Don't worry, I just bought it outside, how could it be something rare?"

Seeing Qiu hesitate, Lin Chuan explained with a smile and reached out to push the wooden box towards her.

"..."

Qiu still shook his head, lowered his eyes to avoid Lin Chuan's gaze, and said with a hint of slight stubbornness: "Sir, I will remember your kindness."

"If it's really a rare item, it won't be too late to return it to me later."

Lin Chuan spoke in a relaxed tone and reached out to push the wooden box towards her again.

"..."

Qiu looked up at Lin Chuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and gently opened the lid of the wooden box.

What caught Qiu's eye was a yellow jade bracelet with a smooth texture. Although it was not some rare spiritual jade, but just an ordinary object, it made Qiu suddenly stunned.

"How about this color? Do you like it? If not, we can pick another one later."

Lin Chuan had a gentle smile on his lips and his eyes fell on Qiu Weideng's face.

"No, I like it very much."

Qiu came back to his senses, shook his head, and gently touched the warm surface of the jade bracelet with his fingertips. His face flushed slightly, and he handed it to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan understood, took the jade bracelet, held her wrist, and was about to put it on her, but suddenly her whole body froze, as if she realized something. She turned her head abruptly to look out the window not far away, and peered into the distance through the rain.

"Is this an illusion..."

He frowned slightly, and withdrew his gaze from the window, returning it to Qiu's face. He asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Did Qiu notice anything just now?"

"..."

Qiu looked at the jade bracelet in Lin Chuan's hand, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, and she shook her head gently and said softly: "No."

"That must be an illusion, never mind."

Lin Chuan relaxed his brows and his tone softened again. He took Qiu's wrist and moved closer, carefully putting the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Okay, let's take a look and see if it suits your taste." Lin Chuan let go of his hand, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

"Sir, you are so thoughtful. I like this birthday gift very much."

Qiu looked down at the jade bracelet on his wrist, his fingertips gently stroking the warm jade face, his face getting hotter.

Thinking back to the jade bracelets on other people's wrists, and then looking down at the warm yellow on her own wrist, she suddenly felt that none of them could compare to the one on her hand.
