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

"nice! You love it."

Lin Chuan smiled gently, his eyes falling on another oil-paper package, and urged softly, "The cakes won't taste good if they get cold. Open them quickly and try them."

"it is good."

Qiu nodded slightly, reached out to pick up the oil paper bag, and was startled by the heavy feeling in her hand. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she looked up at Lin Chuan with a questioning look in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Chuan nod, she untied the knot of the oil paper bag as he said.

The oil paper was peeled off layer by layer, revealing a carved wooden box inside.

"..."

Qiu raised his eyes to look at Lin Chuan, and seeing that he was also looking at him, he quickly lowered his head again, and said in a light and slightly awkward voice: "A gift is enough, sir, there is no need to take it so seriously."

"Open it quickly and take a look." Lin Chuan urged gently with the smile in his eyes still there.

Qiu's face flushed slightly, and with a barely perceptible tremor on his fingertips, he gently lifted the lid of the wooden box.

However, when her eyes fell on the box, she was slightly stunned.

The box was completely empty. The plain brocade lining was laid out smoothly without even a wrinkle. The edges and corners fit perfectly with the wooden box, making the emptiness even more conspicuous.

"Look up and look at me."

Seeing Qiu still staring at the wooden box with a puzzled look on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was trying to figure out the secret, Lin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle and reminded him.

"what?"

Qiu subconsciously looked up and saw Lin Chuan spreading out his palms, with a pair of delicate light yellow earrings lying quietly in his palms.

"Peace every year."

Lin Chuan looked straight at Qiu, his eyes full of tenderness, "This is your birthday gift. Even if the jade bracelet wasn't for your birthday, I still had to give it to you."

"..."

Qiu stared blankly at the pair of earrings made of some rare material, and his breathing slowed down.

The inside of the pale yellow gem was actually engraved with the outline of her eyebrows and eyes, and even the strands of hair that often hung down by her temples were clearly visible, as if her current appearance was frozen in it.

"When I came out of retreat, I happened to see Miss Chun celebrating your birthday, so I returned to the cave and made this birthday gift for you based on the materials I had. Although it may not look that beautiful, the quality is good enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator."

Lin Chuan looked at her dazed expression, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

"Son..."

Qiu's gaze shifted away from the pair of top-grade earth-grade earrings in Lin Chuan's palm, and instead looked straight at Lin Chuan.

"Do you need me to help you put it on?"

Lin Chuan asked softly, his eyes falling on Qiu's slightly red earlobe.

"..."

Qiu didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, then tucked the hair behind his ears, glanced at Lin Chuan quickly, and quickly lowered his head.

Lin Chuan stood up from his seat, walked to Qiu's side, and was about to reach out to take off her original earrings, but his movements suddenly froze.

"Sir, why don't you just..."

Qiu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Chuan.

"This is the first time I've seen Qiu up close. I was completely mesmerized."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced out the window inconspicuously, and then he looked away in an instant.

"..."

Qiu suddenly looked up at Lin Chuan without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Lin Chuan asked softly.

"Son..."

Qiu pursed her lips and looked straight into Lin Chuan's eyes, "Young Master, you have already noticed it, right?"

"..."

Lin Chuan was slightly startled, then nodded.

"I... I knew it earlier than you did, and when you left, I had already met Sister Xu..."

Qiu's fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, and there was a hint of subtle nervousness in her voice.

"???"

"Did Master give you any trouble? Are you hurt?"

Lin Chuan frowned, his eyes fell on Qiu, looking at him carefully.

"..."

Qiu raised his eyes to look at Lin Chuan, with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in his eyes, and asked softly: "Sir... don't you blame me for deliberately concealing it?"
